New PS4 Trailer Shows Hardware Features of the Console, a Minute of Close-up PlayStation Beauty

A new trailer of the upcoming PS4 has just hit the internet, focusing on the features of the console. Not only it shows the lovely piece of kit in all its beauty for about a minute and a half, but it also lists its hardware features.

[pedrof93]

I find it really hard to dislike the Ps4 design.

[GarrusVakarian]

Man, and to think i didn't like the look of that thing when i first saw it. That's a cool looking piece of tech, sharp but sleek.

[karl]

the same happen to me.. i saw it and was like..

meh its ok.. it looks good enough

but now, damn.. that thing is beautiful

[Eonjay]

One sexy piece of tech right there.

Console porn.

[Abriael]

It's the same for me. My first reaction as I was watching the presentation was "it looks like a damn eraser, lol!" I was in a google hangout with my colleagues and we were all laughing about it.

Even Andrew Hose had a slightly weirded out face as he held it.

Now I love it.

[AliTheSnake1]

I want an OS/Software features trailer. With new shots of the UI.

[serratos27]

Likewise I thought it looked a bit awkward when I first saw it. Don't know what I was thinking because it is gorgeous!

[cleft5]

Such a slick, sexy, and powerful design.

[Aleithian]

I found it funny that people originally complained that it was a box like the XBOX One. ANY console is a "box". Difference is, XBOX is blatantly a box. And an ugly box at that. PS4 is a stylish, gorgeous, sexy piece of box ass.

[kenmid]

Did you really say sexy piece box ass? Wow..

[OlgerO]

I just want to rub my hands all over it

[Aleithian]

@kenmid

Yes, and I stand by it. Dat box ass.

[Boody-Bandit]

"stylish, gorgeous, sexy piece of box ass"

The PS4 is powered by electricity. Just an FYI so you're careful and don't get electrocuted when you get your hands, and hopefully only your hands, on one.

box ass = hysterical

[Sayai jin]

That's a matter of opinion. While I like the design of the PS4, this article has nothing to do with the Xbox.

[Playstationologist]

Xbone could not have less of a'design' to it. I have literally owned better looking vcr's back in the day.

I know it's stupid but the fact that xbone is so ugly is in my top 5 reasons not to buy it.

[moparful99]

I find that the PS4's design is organic and well thought out. Having the disc slot and the power/eject buttons integrated into the recess' in the front adds to the cleaner appearance of the console. Sony has brought all of their hardware prowess to bear on the PS4 and it's paying off..

[joeyisback]

to me it looks more like the PS2 with a few extras it feels like we are in the PS2 days again

[pwnsause_returns]

saw the display kit at the sony store its a very elegant piece of kit while standing.

not to mention, its surprisingly small

[SniperControl]

I know a couple of the lads from my local Game store, they gave me a chance to hold the dummy display case, you are right it is deceptively small(about the same size as a PS3 slim).

Beautiful piece of minimalist engineering, saying that the piano finish surface is a finger smudge magnet.

[miklo84]

Looks almost as good as the XBone.

[Themba76]

i hope your kidding? I cant tell the difference between x box one and my dvr box.

[miklo84]

XBone 1 - PS4 0

[IRON883]

One word BEAST!!!!!!

[Real_gamer]

Yeah ok lol

[s8anicslayer]

I love the design now, but when it was first shown to us at E3 I giggled at it as looked a bit awkward

[Kayant]

Greatness Awaits (Thanks to Eltorro) ---> http://abload.de/img/eltorr...

The design has really grown on me.

[SniperControl]

Ok, i'am confused, why is Samuel L Jackson's face superimposed onto a guy in that gif?

He is one of the 2 guys that appear right after the PS4 emerges from the clouds over NY.

[Kayant]

it's the avatar of a mod at gaf (bishoptl) his arrival usually means shit just got real or people are going to get banned.

[bleedsoe9mm]

reminds me of the ps2 but not so much that it looks old or outdated , but it does look a little more like a toy compared to the xbox one

[DeadlyFire]

I have one issue with it. Hard Drive bay isn't big enough for 2TB hard drive. As they are 15 mm high and the size stated 9.5 mm only offers up to 1 TB hard drive.

So I am hoping external hard drives become an option soon.

[SniperControl]

This may help, but it may have been translated wrong.

This is not gospal, as Sony have stated a 9.5mm HDD.

"Based on the machine-translated German text, the 2.5-inch laptop-style hard drive is held in place with simple Phillips-head screws, so it’ll be simple to remove. Even better, it will fit drives as tall as 12.5mm — substantially more spacious than the PS3′s maximum of 9.5mm"

http://www.extremetech.com/...

[DeadlyFire]

Maybe so. I am glad if its supporting the bigger bay. It makes more sense then.

[FuturePerspective]

Just upgrade to a 1TB hard drive and buy discs! Digital downloads of games are usually more expensive and downloading all of your games will ultimately lead to a full HDD. I remember when Assassin's Creed 3 came out; 39.99 in store, but 59.99 on the PS Store..

[N8]

After I put my hands on that controller it could have looked like a GameCube and I wouldnt have cared .

[Plagasx]

I still think it looks a little too similar to the PS3 Slim design...

Looks too basic.

[GarrusVakarian]

*wipes tear away*

[Relientk77]

The future comes Nov 15th

:)

[Aleithian]

Enjoy it, Day 1 peeps. The rest of us will wait, slobbering over pics of your PS4 antics.

[Campy da Camper]

I assume your are in Europe? That extra 2 weeks sucks but you guys have killer PLUS deals we don't get. This kind of balances out the console karma Lol.

[Aleithian]

@Campy

No, I'm in America. But I had to cancel my preorder for financial reasons. Thankfully, looks like I should be able to get one as soon as they come back in stock. :)

[PERK7NS]

My future arrives 29th!

[FamilyGuy]

Find a new user interface video. Something new should pop up soon considering how close we are to release. So far Yosh sitting in a recliner on stage scrolling through it is the newest, most in-depth view we've been shown and that was months ago.

[thehitman]

I am pretty sure there will be booths up soon at local stores to test it out yourself.

[FamilyGuy]

There already are booths up in stores, but those demo kiosk don't really show much of the UI, they're basically just a straight line of the available demos to play. It's as basic as basic gets.

Areas like game settings, videos, apps, friends list, PS Store, Internet Browser and more don't exist on those in store demo versions.

[UnrealThreats]

Finally, something I can get off to.

[Codey47]

Even the trailer has more teraflop performance than the xbone

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

What a thing of beauty wow!!!!

[DigitalRaptor]

Really is an elegant piece of hardware. Soft and slick exterior. Beastly interior.

The blue light is such an awesome touch.

[Kos-Mos]

I do like Playstation, and have all their consoles. Some of the best games ever made is on a Sony console: Xenogears, Xenosaga, Metal Gear Solid.
But do people on n4g know that Sony is a japanese company?
Is that okay with you?

For some people I know my comment is like when you fall in love with a beautiful girl and the night is finally ready for some hot bedstories, and you realize she has the same genitalias as you.

Bless me for not being patriotic.

[punisher99]

@Kos-Mos:

What???

"But do people on n4g know that Sony is a japanese company?
Is that okay with you?"

Why wouldn't it be? Are you prejudice against the Japanese or something?

[Kos-Mos]

Yes, I don`t like the japanese......

WHERE ON EARTH DID PULL THAT FROM?

"Some of the best games ever made is on a Sony console: Xenogears, Xenosaga, Metal Gear Solid."

Delete/edit your comment right now, and start over again.

[abzdine]

go see a shrink, NOW!

[Kos-Mos]

I know the shock is big for you kid.

Go see your mommy for milking, there`s a lot of comfort there.

[Codey47]

Hmmmz..... where's the TW/\T button on this site?

[LoveSpuds]

I am sure you are making a point somewhere here, but I dont know what it is! :)

[punisher99]

@kos-mos:

So why is there a need to even ask if people on N4G know that Sony is a Japanese company? And then follow up with "Is that okay with you"?

[MONOLITHICIDE]

I agree kos
I usually support american made products but not Microsoft. I gave them a chance with the 360 in the beginning but the two I had died. As for playstations none of them have ever died on me. My PS 1 still works to this day. Just don't have a power chord for it anymore.

[-SIXAXIS-]

I believe it's the same power cord that was used for the PS2 and the PS3...

[cr33ping_death]

Most confusing post Ever.

[goldwyncq]

This has got to be the MOST racist comment I've read on this site for the last 2 years.

Edit: Dude, you're asking if people HERE in N4G knows that Sony is a Japanese company. Just think about that for a moment.

[dcortz2027]

I'm all in for being patriotic but I'm not letting Microsoft screw me over, PS4 for me sorry!!

[GirlOnFire]

Who raised you? Very immature kid. I know its Japanese and part of the reason i chose them. They know how to make an console unlike Xbox with power bricks and batteries. Have a good day! ^~^

[solidjun5]

Wait what? Where did that come from?

Not cool man.

[Majin-vegeta]

But do people on n4g know that Sony is a japanese company?

No sh*t of course we know Sony is Japanese what do you think we're st*pid??Bubbled down for immature and racist.

[Kos-Mos]

Rage is imminent. Thank you for proving my point.

[FuturePerspective]

That went from the topic of Sony and Japanese people to shemales.

I'm not sure how to respond.

[AceofStaves]

Makes no difference to me. I'm Canadian.

[TemplarDante]

My ex and I broke up tonight.
Im hurt, but Im not broken. My beauty will be here 11/15!

[MONOLITHICIDE]

Just buy a flesh light and duct tape it on top of the ps4 and you'll be set

[Codey47]

I call those fleshlight things a c*nt in a mug.

Such a superior name!

[punisher99]

Love the design. Just wish it would have had 4 usb 3.0 ports instead of just 2.

[cr33ping_death]

I miss my os3 fat :-( it had everything

[punisher99]

@cr33ping_death:

I know what you mean. Just gonna have to find a reliable usb 3.0 port hub on amazon somewhere. My external HDD takes up 2 usb ports by itself.

[Triella]

Or you could just buy the licenced 4Gamers vertical stand with USB HUB for PS4.

[Sevir]

That was a pretty stylish and well put together close up video showing off the console! I personally enjoy the design! Its wonderfully crafted. I'm getting giddy, 13 more days till DAT PS4!!!!!

[feraldrgn]

Laid horizontally, I think that's Sony's best looking console to date.

[Riderz1337]

So glad they didn't just go the conventional way and make a rectangle as their console...I love this design. It's sleek, modern and will look so good next to my TV

[jhoward585]

My hands on a PS4 will finally live happily ever after.

[svoulis]

I cant wait for the teardown of the PS4. I wanna see the guts of this sleek machine.

what...does that make me sick or something

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

I love that sound at 1:05 !!

[DeletedAcc]

I always loved the ps4 design
I was shocked when people said it looks ugly as hell!
Now, people did change their minds, i guess

[KontryBoy706]

The PS2 reinvented for 2013

[TristanPR77]

What a beautiful piece of technology. Of the 2 next gen consoles the PS4 have the best design by far.

Oh man, if I was an electronic device I would bang that sexy and beautiful PS4.

[MRMagoo123]

OH MAH GLOB !

[IRetrouk]

Ahhhhh i have to wait untill the 29th, not fair :-(

[Thatlalala]

Eat more taco bell.

[IRetrouk]

I would..... if taco bell had any stores in the uk.

[andrarfc]

Calm down, it's only an old pc graphics card shoved in something that looks like a ps2. What innovation! Lol

[Visualift]

Chizzled, not chopped, to perfection.

[solidboss07]

I'm going to 'blow my source code' all over the SOC.

[Holeran]

Love the new one But my original fat piano black PS3 fresh out of the package was a beautiful sight to behold.

[DAZZA]

That my fellow gamers is a thing of beauty. #PS4

The song also sounds great listening with a ZXR / Sennheiser PC 350s :)

[5eriously]

Jeez, going by the comments I swear there is a fleshlight build in there somewhere! Well as long as it operates at 60 HZ(fps) and make's you see 1080p I'm fine with it!

Pure joy, greatness awaits the clever consumers only!

[CEOSteveBallmer]

Damn just 1/2 week to go?? :) PS nation should rejoice

[bornsinner]

reminds me of the twin towers lol looks great tho

[Akuma2K]

When I first saw the sleek design of the PS4, i said to myself that's how a next gen console is supposed to look.

[SynestheticRoar]

PS4 mother@#$%ers. Suck it.

[SyphonELITE]

ultra sexy console

[icerob]

this is what next gen should be..
1. Instant on, ready to play.. no logos and bullshit at startup
2. no loading times, never more than 1-2 sec at the very least
3. no disc changing
4. be able to multiplay game on 2 tvs from 1 console
5. be able to multiplay game on multiple consoles on home network with only 1 copy of game
6. 1080p/60fps standard
7. hate starting a game and it takes forever to load, then various start and load screens, then options and settings, then some story that i really have no time or patients to watch.. I really just want to start and play!!
8. do not like anything that lags or feels gimmicky.. Kinect 1 was pretty cool the first 10 minutes, but then it just didnt seem to give me any enjoyment.. voice control sucks if I have to repeat myself.. either make it work 100% or just get rid of it

I admit I have been a xbox fan for some time.. Whatever my preferences where, I will be getting the better value console this gen.
at this point all I can think about is that the xboxone is more expensive than the ps4 and with less resolution and I am afraid to get an xbox due to the fact that most of my friends will probably get the PS4..
I own a 360 and was really looking forward to buying the new console.. now i will probably hold out and see how the first months play out.. I really hope there will be some news soon that will change my mind!
