Same, didn't think it was happening now I'm happy that it has.

Was about 90% convinced they would show The Last Guardian. TLG was nowhere to be seen. Serve me up that crow.

Can't say I'm eating any crow, but as someone who's never held the PS3 in much esteem, I'm psyched to see them really shooting for the moon on the PS4, and am very curious to see what the Nextbox is going to look like; the rumored specs looked pretty damned conservative next to PS4 before we found out it's going to have 8 gigs of ram, so one wonders if it's time for Microsoft to make some very expensive last minute decisions to keep up.

If all that shit turns out to be true, I think MS would be so fucked.

i said there'd be full BC and 265kb of RAM, and look what we got!

Nothing on the specs, just this, which may not impress you as much.
Not sure if I'm really eating any
I never really predicted anything in the last year or so
back around fall 2011 I was very hesitant to predict such a leap in RAM. I think I said 4gbs would be the max a nextgen system would have .
I changed my predictions though as more info came out. I pretty much expected just about everything they said about the system months ago.
I've been saying a new PS3 was coming in 2013 for around a year now.

What the shit were you expecting if this disappointed you?
I see that I was arguing for the feasibility of large amounts of GDDR5 "towards the end of 2013" in that thread. Feels good man.
Now, there's the MS will match or exceed 8 GB ram argument popping up.

No megaton really, not that much of a jump in visuals, so many things in that killzone video that still felt current gen, the character interactions and their animations, not that ahead of this gen imo. Im used to PC so basically, only exclusives game content have to impress the hell out of me to make me jump ship.

Forgot about that one, I was pretty sure Sony wouldn't be ready to release the PS4 until Spring, 2014.

I think they'll go with 6 GB, and take a loss so they can undercut the PS4 by $150 to $200 to get a head start.

They could. That's the advantage of unveiling last. But, I figure at this point they have to kind of know what price point they want so changing from DDR3 to DDR5 could be painful. Time to cut those Kinnect specs again.
And honestly, that sounds like a great idea. Maybe not quite as high as $150-200, though.
You better stop with some of your claims, otherwise it wont be a crow your eating but a 747 tarred in crow feathers

I'm going to join everyone else on eating crow over the 8Gb of GDDR5 RAM. 4Gb, sure. 8Gb? Lolno. Or at least that's my line of reasoning.
I doubt it, but clearly, anything is possible. I don't know. If I were Microsoft, I would see this as an opportunity to aggressively pursue a price advantage, and I think they'll be in a better position to cost reduce and get production up to where they want it than Sony will be with PS4. All of that is conjecture though, nothing I'm hearing from sources.
Quoting someone else! WITH ACTUAL QUOTE MARKS. I'll let mods decide on that one, but I don't think that counts.
I said Gaikai wouldn't work for BC. They said they'd like it to some day. There's no crow there.

You claimed you never posted "secret sauce", and he caught you posting "secret sauce". I say you lose.
not me I was all for it
'Didn't think PS4 would have 8gb of RAM' would be better than 'Junior Member'.

I didn't think I'd give a shit. I give a shit.
I ate a little of something, that's for sure.

SCEE confirmed Gaikai for BC on Twitter.

*raises hand*
Sony really impressed me today. I still think their first-party stuff from this generation has been a bit tits (looking at you, Uncharted) but the power, the approach to development, and the attitude in general got me thinking that, yes, the PS4 might be the machine I go with.
A few doubts: some of the network features will probably be moot in New Zealand. But nothing major, I don't think.

Unfortunately I wish I had eaten crow but the visuals displayed were the diminishing returns I expected.
They said that they're gearing up to provide BC for PS1, PS2, PS3 games through cloud and that the service will be implemented progressively. They also said that Sony has greenlighted a huge investement in this sense.
So no it's more than a vague promise and Gaikai will work for BC.

I expect a Vita price drop at E3.
Who would have thought, that the only actual industry insiders where Edge. Not some forum chump or click bait website trying to bring attention to themselves with ill informed and/or fabricated rumours.
Edge were the only ones to show the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox 3 (with no 'bu... buu... but.. secret sauce!' nonsense) and that Sony were aiming for 8GB GDDR RAM.
Edit: Edge also stated that the PS4 would play used games, which has just been confirmed by Sony.

on the other hand: can you name a single title for this? do we expect them to trickle out like PS1 games on Vita, before ceasing? what about licensing rights, latency issues, etc etc? they've said lots of stuff, i see no reason to get excited about this as a BC workaround until we get more details. he's not wrong, it's just talk for now.
