Sony: "See the Future" February 20th, 2013

[WretchedSoul21]

This is my favorite concept by far right now, I could only wish the real thing looks as awesome as this, minus the, IMO, out of place blue 4.

[KyleOnTheRun]

Exactly, it seems the counter makes time go by slower

I'm glad you all are enjoying the counter - and visiting the home page!

Something very, very special will happen when the time hits zero.

Sorry to say but when that counter hits zero, I will already be busy following THE presentation... So come on, tell us NOW

You have to stop it Kyle! You're making this wait that much more painful because i know you have your insider info and I don't. BTW my name is Kyle so you are practically bound by oath to share all info with me.

I'd bet on the timer turning into a PS4 picture when it hits 0!!!

[Silver_Knight]

Wait Kyle knows something? Grab him!

[jj03]

After the video, i bet it finally reveals the words...`fuck off` lol...

Do you have the same problem I do, where people prefer to call you by your last name (or both first and last) as opposed to just "Kyle"?

Sometimes the first and last deal lol. My mom used to report to that when I was younger.

this event will showcase several of Sony upcoming products from android phones to tablets and networking. I doububt if any games would be shown Sony may save the games unveiling at an upcoming gaming events. The reason why im saying this is because i read an article in New York Times that said Kaz Hirai has been unable to convince investors that a turn around is imminite. so this will be huge to convince investors.

[ps3freak18]

Do you really think the event is going to "showcase" android phones? I mean come on. we all know what this event is about. They will hit on the other points but there's no mystery that this event is to "showcase" the ps4. Call egg in my face if it doesn't really wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I don't think they will show all their cards but this is inevitably a showcase for the ps4 and all other points are just side notes.

The ps4 will be the main center piece for Sony eco system. I read on a gaming site yesterdaybhat the ps4 will support andrid phones like new z xperia.

[ps3freak18]

Ok maybe I jumped to conclusions to what you were saying. I think Sony will try to combine mobile systems with gaming systems this gen. with the ever changing consumer you have to stay up with the trends. In that same process you can't lose your identity. So in turn mixing mobile devices with in home devices isn't a long stretch at all. I'm just ready for the 20th so we have some much needed clarity on the scope of what the ps4 will do.

New page design/layout to bring in the next generation ps home console?

[MjW]

Are we there yet?

This would make perfect sense. Sony has a big foot in everything HW and entertainment but didn't seem to take advantage of it. Maybe Kaz can convince all the divisions to work TOGETHER for once and integrate everything in that ecosystem

[Ghost-Rhayne]

All I know is:

Reportedly beastly console + Sony's 1st party legion + Gaikai + Vita + PS+ + SEN (Sony movies, music and games all in one service) + PlayStation certified android devices + PS Mobile = Big badass Sony PlayStation ecosystem with Sony's juggernaut entertainment business sending all sorts of good shit into its various sexy devices.

Over the years, Sony has been slowly moving the above pieces into place and has amazing potential. What excites me the most is that Sony has not for one second deviated away from gamers. 7th generation upheld the consistency set by the 6th and the 5th. I have absolutely no doubt that Sony is about to unleash SEN into all of its devices via the cloud delivering the past 3 generations of content to augment its 8th using a price modal that will reflect the philosophy reflected with such initiatives as the Instant Game Collection, the recent Collections line of series bundles and free-to-play games.

Wait till the PS4 uses its überbrain to add all sorts of currently impossible shit to Vita.

Does anybody know the time for the presentation? I know they probably won't be streaming it, but would like to follow some site for live updates.

Think it's being streamed on PSblog pal.

[snooper71]

Well there is a patent out for a vita 4g and hdmi out... Watch THAT be the HW announcement on the 20th... Internet meltdown!!!

[Lefein]

LOL!

Big thing is not necessarily site-related. Just saying that the countdown is not (to reference a recent post) counting down to a "tablet" or "mobile phone" reveal.

[MonkeyClaw]

YES!!!

Does anyone else get the feeling they pulled an early reveal because they know they can't control leaks? :P

I was thinking about it today, and this is how I would want the big events to break down:

Feb. 20th:
-Ps4 (official name) announced for "this fall"
-Reveal all developers and partners that have signed on so far
-show off some sweet tech demos (to please shareholders and press)
-announce several new must-have vita games (including monster hunter)
-reaffirm that ps3 will coexist with ps4 and target a different market (possibly announce new ps3 games and cross-platform compatability)
-end the show with a mind blowing teaser video montage of works in progress from 1st/3rd party studios

Basically announce it's existence but don't reveal everything ahead of competition while giving us enough to wait with our jaws open until e3.

E3:
-Show off Vita integration (including cross-controller and second screen functions) and Gaikai features (including complete back catalogue of ps3 titles-also playable on vita)
-Reveal new controller and 3D VR interface
-Discuss network plans (keep your existing PSN ID, free ps4 online play, new features for ps plus and home)
-live gameplay and gaikai demonstrations
-Reveal final specs and design
-End show with release date, price, and launch titles
-backroom demonstrations of post-launch titles


TGS:
-Playable on the show floor
-hands on demonstration of menu system
-announce ps3 price drop and a few more games for all three platforms

As a side note, they could put the hardware in an original 60gb ps3 case and i would be more than happy.
also the collection of kaz gifs can be found here:

Other than the 3D VR Interface I think you are pretty dead on, that is what I am expecting as well!

Awesome thanks do you know what time though?

Well Vita has not had a huge impact on the game space, so I don't see any internet meltdown. While those would be nice implementations, I wouldn't consider them very newsworthy compared to PS3 updates or PS4 release information.

You mention 4G on the Vita. What I would like to see is 5ghz support for WIFI for the PS4. More and more people are choosing to go wireless over wired now. Wireless TV's, iPads, iPods, Nooks, Kindles, Phones, game consoles, PC's, Macs, laptops, fridges with touch screens, garage door openers, handheld game devices, and on. They are swallowing up the home bandwidth and IP addresses...and actually causing connections to lag on game consoles since we are hosting the games. I want to see more bandwidth dedication from our gaming machines, and more people moving to the newer routers.
