Bring this back Sony. Dedicate the gaming console to the gamer and win the hearts and minds of millions of warriors, or something.

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Naw man.


First shot was Kaz with the "let MS announce first" fake out.

As an Xbox/360 guy, Sony definitely has the more positive buzz going on so far in my opinion. I'm actually pretty interested in what they show on the 20th.

[Ramblin]

With the PC, it's been here for a while. A long while.

There's always one in every thread. Congrats, you gaming hipster.

[Thabass]

This thread should become Kaz gifs.

You ask? You shall receive.

[ypo]

"Playstation changes. Will copy the Xbox 360." PS Kinect PGR clone console "entertainment center" SmartGlass etc

$0.23

[rando14]

This one's better.

Got DAMN. Excited for 2/20

Gaming hipster. I lol'd.

[StuBurns]

Ironically, I jumped out yesterday.

However, shit slinging is some baby shit, grow up.

[twinturbo2]

Screw the haters, this gif will never get old.

[Kasumi1970]

You people can have your console wars ..........i am jumping out of next gen. no more overpriced system and games for me.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Wow.

Shots fired.




EDIT: LOL holy shit at that Equilibrium gif. :bow Demonite.

[Domcorleone]

With the PC, it's been here for a while. A long while.

Unfortunately not. Consoles have been holding it back for quite sometime (with the exception of crysis and witcher 2)

[xenorevlis]

If anything those are all things Microsoft copied from Sony.

You'd be surprised how little people know about the development of the tech, games, etc. from PlayStation 1 and 2 days.

[BraXzy]

i see sony's marketing team is at work now LOL. they must hired someone "in the know"

Is this all down to the new marketing team then?

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Oh man, this generation will be my first proper console war on gaf. im legitimately excited. started off pretty great aswell, wiiU floundering, feb 20th, kazification, the non-stop negative xbox news.

Wii U supossedly doing 55K. You might have to change your underwear.

[KefkaPalazzo]

I would rather Sony jump in and save the Vita first.

[timetokill]

No, it'll be the 6th generation post-crash. Wikipedia counts 2 generations pre-crash.

Oh you're right.

[Bravocado]

Now this is gaming!

Part of me hopes that Sony is going to step away from that market (not necessarily casual games, but games that are just... glorified tools) and put the focus back on gaming as being fun and creative and stimulating.

The realistic part of me knows this is just hypocritical trash-talk and there will be tons of crap like this on every next-gen console.

Still, fun times!

[AgentChris]

PS2 SCE is back in full force. They better bring the heat.

[DMPrince]

Is this all down to the new marketing team then?

well it's not sony themselves. we need like a proper compilation of ads since forever.

[MasterSheen]

they didn't trash talk when Vita was coming out

"3DS is a babysitting tool".

[Gorillaz]

Oh Snap?
Shots Fired?
(insert catchphrase here)

There goes that Sony Ego we all know. Well see come wednesday if they can match the hype.

edit: yea it does sound like ps2 era Sony

[Mushroomer25]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony decides to play offensive this round. They lost a massive amount of marketshare in the last gen to Microsoft, and getting them back won't be easy. Live has made people dangerously attached to their existing user profiles. If switching consoles means losing a friends list, achievement history, and digital game library that they've now spent the better part of a decade amassing - it's going to be a hard sell. And that might mean Sony courts the hardcore gamer by rubbing Microsoft's face in the past few years of Kinect & dashboard ads.

[Monty Mole]

It looks like the PS4 is going to cater towards gaming, as opposed to Microsofts catering towards "entertainment".

I don't think Sony is as a stupid as some GAFers who think that a console with such a narrow scope as "core gaming" is going to float in 2013. Both consoles will cater towards "entertainment".

Showing off Evolution arcade racer #4 with pretty graphics isn't going to sell millions of consoles, nor is this Sega-esque marketing strategy.

I love Sony's first party line-up as much as the next GAFer, but if their next console isn't the equivalent of a gaming Apple TV then it'll fizzle pretty quickly after early adopters carry it through the launch period. What's wrong with a console that can play COD *and* do entertainment *and* yoga 'games'? Of course PS4 will undoubtedly end up having this broader strategy in the long-term (just like PS3), hence why this marketing is silly.

[Ramblin]

You people can have your console wars ..........i am jumping out of next gen. no more overpriced system and games for me.

I'd like to agree with you. Ideally I'll stick with this generation as long as I can, hopefully by then the wii U will be in its prime, and cheaper....but I'm pretty sure once those shiny new ip's show up I'll be selling my methadone.

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Is that Padma?

[Road of Ease]

Feb 20th can't come soon enough. Goddamn...

[DMPrince]

"3DS is a babysitting tool".

just googled it. Nintendo must be trashtalking too with Wii U sales.

[Hehateme]

Rumble in the jung......living/bedroom.

[Smokey]

[Coolwhip]

Sony might be disappointed how few console gamers are left when you leave the casuals out.

[P90]

Jump Out!

PS4 exclusive, errr, not exclusive killer app:

http://www.avaloid.com/jump-out/iphone

Of is the PS4 going to be iOS compatible?

[Domcorleone]

I like trash talk in anything that is competitive as long as it is ads like this and not full blown mud slinging though pr people. "Sega does what nintendont" or "I don't" Droid commercials or the galaxy s4 commercials are fun to me. Every competitor throws jabs at the other, and some people on gaf get too sensitive about it. It's not that serious.

[FJ0372]

Shots fired!

[rouken]

the new marketing team is already off to a good start. :)

[OldJadedGamer]

I don't get the Yoga comment. It might almost be a jab if there wasn't a Move Yoga game for the PS3.

[Tyrax]

Sega does what Nintendon't

[Zeer0id]

Try harder, Sony

[rapid32.5]

Gotta love newly fitted Kaz, at least he pays attention to MS now at things, such as Jump In, Kinect Yoga, ect.

[The Living Tribunal]

Sega does what Nintendon't

Like dropping out of the console race.

[crimzonflame]

I cant believe Ill be fucking working on the 20th.

[Ramblin]

Like dropping out of the console race.

55k foreshadowing.

[Tyrax]

Like dropping out of the console race.

I don't understand why, with blast processing they had the most extreme system

[Magpul]

Unfortunately not. Consoles have been holding it back for quite sometime (with the exception of crysis and witcher 2)

Agreed. The hardware has been there, but the consoles have been holding it back. I'm glad that more and more PC devs are heading to Kickstarter to bring out the potential of the PC, like Chris Roberts and Star Citizen. I'm hoping with the ease in development with the new consoles and the similar architecture that PC gaming will really take off.

But with the rumored AMD issue, I'm not so sure. Guess we'll see.

[ArtHands]

I'm sorry but.. Are these even official Sony ads? Are they actually been paid for by Sony? Can anyone verify it? I'm willing to bet there are some crazy fanboys out there with a little money and resources to pay for these measly iOS banner ads. I cannot see Sony actually doing this, maybe I am too naive.

So it begins again, hope Evil has doubled down on the infrastructure this year.
