Talk about next gen graphics. The clothing, body movements and general smoothness of it all looks identical to real life. Only when you look at the faces and crowd and the ground a bit can you tell that it's a game. Crazy though.I have spent the last minute looking at this and I am still convinced that's real footage!
Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Yeah it's amazing. Imagine what games will look like ten years from now. Scary.
Diablo 3 on PS4 sounds very interesting. They're using PSN to add new features that the PC doesn't have, one example was if you get killed by an elite monster that monster can then enter a friends game and level up, if your friend can't kill it it will keep spreading to multiple PSN friends leveling up in and becoming tougher in the process. They also have an apprentice mode as well, if you join a friends game and he's at a higher level you will scale up to his level so you can play together, it also comes with the RoS expansion built in.
Exceptions can always be made, if I have the games, I'll join your club no probs.
Nice little additions, especially the fact that it comes with RoS. But I still can't imagine myself playing Diablo on a console, guess I'm just used to playing it on the PC. It seems strange to me!
Some good incentives to make people buy it for their console though.
Right, think I'm picking one up this week, maybe next week. Few things I would like to ask.
1. Is there a media player now?
2. Can I watch movies / listen to music off a USB / external HDD? Infact, can I transfer these files onto the PS4 HDD?
3. What features is the ps4 missing which you want adding?
4. Now for the games, I don't know what games to buy, I'm thinking AC: Black Flag, Tomb Raider, Infamous... however, they're all pretty similar types of games imo. I'm stuck on another game of a different type, heard KZ is pretty boring to play, but pretty to look at, BF4 is buggy? Pretty disapointed there is still only one racing game. I'll download DC Universe online as it's free. Will pick up whatever I can which is free with PS Plus too. Probably get the ones that have been up on PS Plus for free but aren't free anymore. Anything which is a must have?

KZ is a decent/average shooter, but very pretty, I'd pick it up if it was cheap. Tbh, the (immense) Vita KZ is by far the superior game.

No.
The above.
I didn't like KZ. BF4 is a lag fest if you want to play 64 player Conquest. No 'must haves' that I can think of.
Man, has there been any words from Sony in regards to media player and external hdds?
Not to my knowledge.

Coming. In the pipe.
Good to know, hope it's not too far away then.
Rumours gta v will hit next gen in June.
I want 3d.
I have a fancy new TV with 3d movies to watch

I now own one of these machines.
You're one of the cool kids now.I now own one of these machines.
Ummm anyone else have trouble with their credit card? Won't accept mine so can't get ps plus at the moment.
Yay
Prepare to be massively disappointed and underwhelmed.
Just kidding.
Or am I?
What's the best game available at the moment? Doesn't seem to be a "must have console" title yet.
There isn't a 'must have' title. I would say Battlefield 4 is the best available game (when it works). Infamous: Second Son isn't too bad, though not as good as the second one.
Other than those two, you have shit like Assassin's Creed 4, FIFA, Lego Marvel Heroes, Need For Speed...nothing to get excited about.

There isn't one yet tbh. Second Son is ok, nothing special
Right. Thanks. May get one of the sports titles for now.
I'm picking up fifa today. Lent AC off a mate, downloaded ex universe (but it won't work, errors) and downloaded warframe too.
However, psn won't accept my card details so can't get the 2 week free psn. Going to have to buy a code online and get psn that way.
I fancy NFS rivals too, going to wait for a drop on price as it's not my usual type of driving game. Prices seem stuck for the ps4 pretty much, rivals can be found for 25 quid on the xbox one, new. You're just about getting that price on the ps4 version on eBay, used.

Yeah very average so far. Infamous is over quicker than a virgin's first shag as well.
Assassins creed is annoying. I can't do the ship battles ffs. Fifa wants to be here soon
Pre-loading, in time for The Show hopefully. Beautiful.
I may actually use the share stuff after this update. One thing though...
"It also allows you to import your original music to add to the custom soundtrack for your video"
Does that mean I could take a song I've downloaded, and put it in a video? And if so, why can I do that but can't play the damn song?

They haven't said if its coming in this update or not but it hints at them bringing that back, they said they were anyway.
Nothing major in that update for me
You realise they said thats a sneak peak right?
According to gaf:

Officially announced:
- HDCP off for gameplay recording
- Export Captures to USB
- Rich Media Editor
- Longer Gameplay records [manually I assume]
- Lightbar dimming
- 720 Streams [in the works???] [Probably not 1.7]
- Stream Archives [Probably not 1.7]
- Pre-loading
- Friend Notifications [Via Tidux]
- Game sort [Via Tidux, probably not 1.7]
- Improved Friendlist stability [Via Tidux]
Other than pre-loading, which I might find useful on occasion, the rest of that makes no difference to me.
Let me plug in my external and watch movies, you turds.

If they add too much gumpf too quickly how are they going to keep selling PS3s? PS3 needs a price drop and for that they need the 22 or 28nm Cell possibly fused with RSX (at least in the same package if not on the same die). It's known that they are going to produce 8 PS3s on a single motherboard for the Playstation Now/Gaikai servers, so it's probably in the works.

We also know that some work was done on Cell redesign for 22nm at IBM.

I currently believe that Cell is on 45nm and RSX on 40nm.
This will seriously reduce the silicon budget of the PS3. They might be able to get it close to $150. Once that happens they'll let PS4 do everything the PS3 can do.
That's my theory anyway.
I actually sold my slim, just so I could get a super slim. 
Well they wanna get a shifty on! I liked all the ps3 movie playback and music playback! The ps4 has me slightly disappointed and I've only had it a day! Seems a lot of things are lacking
Had problems with downloads at first (just kept cancelling), and then dc universe wouldn't even play at all. deleted it now.
Fifa updated weird. Had to close it down an open it again to get it working.

What you are experiencing is not normal.
Sweet Googly Moogly
Most problems I've had seem to be being discussed elsewhere online too.
I think maybe dc universe didn't download properly from the servers. Things download ok today, was yesterday it was dodgey. May try it again later.
Going to have to use PayPal as my payment method I think. No biggie, safer anyway.
Think I'll get nfs rivals tonight. Can't believe driveclub still has no release date. Or am I missing something?
Nope, still no release date.
