Sleep mode.... I LOVE you Sony.... The single greatest thing about my VITA... No more walking around for hours to find a save point, when I should be sleeping....
THANK YOU!

There was a translation in another thread that said that Sony is giving developers the freedom to pick the specs that they want. KZ, for example, is running at 1080p. But something else could run at 720p if that's what the developer chose.

I actually think the OS with all functions will use up to 3GB. Real time video capture, instant share functionality won't be done with 1 or 2 GB of Ram.

Will cross-game chat be available day one? Me and my XBL buddies are moving over to a PS4, but party chat is what keeps us together.

There's video chat in-game so assuming voice will be there also. They didn't mention party chat though.
That's how it should be I think, no need to force ppl into doing what they don't want (or can't).
I like this new super dev friendly approach Sony is taking.

Indeed this is the biggest thing to finally make it to console gaming for me. Girlfriend is here and ready to go out for dinner? Time to put the kids to bed? Bro wants to watch the hockey game?
No need to make others wait for you to get to a good stopping point. It's going to change the way I play console games in my home and coupled with PS Vita remote play I won't ever lose access to my PS4.
That would be great for games that don't make use of the new DS4 features.
But what about the other way around? A DS4 working on PS3 would also be cool for the games you still play there.
it's been confirmed, heck party chat is in the Vita and there's even video game chat thingy for the PS4

Good.
So a question for tech minded people. With the PS3 and 360 we saw an incredible difference between launch titles and games released today in terms of graphics, but with the PS4 supposedly being so developer friendly will we see people maxing out its potential much faster than in previous generations if the learning curve is comparatively small?

DS4 looks sharp. Any price rumors yet?
There's really no such thing as "maxing out" a platform; developers will always find ways to improve the various aspects of rendering technology over time. The X360 was often touted as being essentially the same as a PC, with Valve even saying that the simplicity of the PC->X360 porting process is akin to pressing a button, but there's no denying that Gears of War 3 looks better than its two predecessors.
Not sure if posted, but there's a list of Tools & Middleware providers thusfar here:

Hopefully Unity joins this list soon.

Is the ice team even needed anymore since PS4 is so easy to develop for now?
Edit- also I see nothing was mentioned about the 32 ROP's. You guys think it stayed the same or went down?

This is pure speculation from me but I have the feeling Sony is going the only build in hdd / no external hdd rute this time around.

We'll probably get that around GDC.

If games this gen have been using less than a gig of ram and still have looked great, I can't even imagine what console games are going to look like with 8 gigs!
JonathanPower

I don't think so, you wouldn't need near that amount even with all the new functionalities, especially with dedicated hardware taking care of it in the background. It has already beed stated that the OS uses 512Mb of ram, and the bump to 8GB was done to make the console future proof, not to vaste more memory for the OS.

I was thinking about this. I find it doubtful they are going to track the controller for motion gaming, maybe they will just use the light bar for an accurate depth estimate so they can use it to compensate for the audio delay to the controller speaker?
There has to be logic behind its shape. It is not an ideal shape for depth, that would be a circle. So the length must be important for something, maybe just visual feedback to the user?
There is no way this is going to cost less than 600. I honestly don't see it being that little.
8 GB of GDDR5? 8 core processor? This thing is going to kill Sony.
Tretton just said it will be much more affordable than PS3.

You could do that easily at a time PCs had 2 gigs of ram and running a bloated OS like Windows. Why the hell would you need 3 gigs of ram for doing that on a console with a stramlined OS?

Pretty cool they're throwing a headset into the box. One of the PS3's greatest failures, in my opinion.

So is the PS4Eye motorised? The last image suggests it is?
pieatorium

doesn't suggest motorized just adjustable

Why, the PS4 seems alot more simplistic than the PS3.
Im willing to bet the AMD cpu is way cheaper than the Cell BE was, which had something like the 20% yields some months before it launched iirc. No extra processors for backwards compatibly. Blu ray drive is cheap as heck now.

I just noticed the dedicated Options button. Seems kinda odd.

Components
GPU
7850/7870;8850/8870
Not too expensive especially since it will be made differently from PC ones
CPU
A tablet CPU not expensive
RAM
8 GB GDDR5 ram- One of the most expensive besides the HDD
HDD
Probably will be one of most expensive items
I am pretty sad they didn't include Bluetooth 4.0 especially with the Smartphone/Tablet integreation. Iphones now work on the BT 4.0 protocol
