SCE's new marketing agency, BBH New York, is doing a hell of a job promoting the PS4 - in addition to gaining over 28 million views for the PS4 teaser video at Playstation Meeting 2013, the timing of this E3 teaser trailer is perfect, considering the Xbox Next reveal is tomorrow.

I wonder if they'll do something special on Saturday. It being the Champions League final.

Half an hour ago, Xbox was a worldwide trend on Twitter.

Right now?

Oops. Bad Sony.

 

[nny]

Oh shi- meat grinder confirmed!

:O

 

[BloodMoney]

I just hope more than anything they keep the slot loading disc drive.

Yes, slot load or FAIL. The ps3 super slim disc loading mechanism is AWFUL and feels incredibly cheap. I want fidelity (function & appearance).

 

[Kyoufu]

Who is breathing heavily at the end? Nathan Drake?

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Sony is on fire.

Good move...

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I'm really digging the angular look (evokes both the original PS2 and some of the PS3). Can't wait to see what the next XBox will look like (hopefully Surface influenced).

 

[zakislam]

Hard edge from that image looks enticing.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Interesting they release this now. Attempting to make sure they aren't forgotten in the upcoming Durango storm?

Some might say they were worried...

Anyway, like the video. Seems a good way to tease the console. Not sure I like it's square appearance though, was hoping for something more interesting in design.

 

[Dead Prince]

Those fucking vents have me so AMPED, lol!

so huge. takes me back to sony vaio laptops heat issue.

 

[androvsky]

Yeah, bingo. Except I think the 'front' will be on one of the flat sides, while the curve is on a side perpendicular to the front.

I gotta side with the theory that it's just a super zoomed in shot of the earbud from the packed-in headset.

 

[tusken77]

Whoa. That was a magnificent 39 seconds. Masterful Sony, masterful.

 

[SykoTech]

Gotta love the timing.

Can't wait to see what it looks like.

 

[Violater]

Dpad and share button?

 

[Kyon]

I just want the LED strip from the fake video. Otherwise I have faith in SonySUS as per with Console design

Sony going for the jugular. It's ballsy, I'll give them that.

 

[Graphics Horse]

It lives! :lol

 

[blade85]

Awwww, its a black square box....

I was hoping it would be a multi-coloured unicorn

 

[140.85]

Not really a fan of the look this screenshot implies:

This is my favorite image so far. Really love the way this is looking so far.

 

[Canis lupus]

Just a square box? wtf?

 

[Infinite Justice]

I gotta side with the theory that it's just a super zoomed in shot of the earbud from the packed-in headset.

Yea I could see this given that the other peripherals are teased as well (DS4, camera)

We'll see

 

[Varth]

Yeah, I like it too. Reminds me of some of their nice blu ray players.

Yep. For reference:

Oops. Bad Sony.

They're doing a great job containing MS's stuff. I'm sure they have other things planned for right after the Nextbox's reveal.

 

[borius]

looks like a game cube!

do we have all the glimpse in the trailer together?

 

[_RT_]

There is at least one shot of the camera bar in there, just to add confusion.

The curved shape at 0:11 is the most interesting part, seems like it must have a semi circular end.

Power button maybe?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I just want the LED strip from the fake video. Otherwise I have faith in SonySUS as per with Console design

I hear you, LEDs are the future.

 

[gofreak]

I gotta side with the theory that it's just a super zoomed in shot of the earbud from the packed-in headset.

Maybe. But the main PS designer has always made a big deal about the Playstation design language combining lines and curves (least since PSP). This would be a different way than they've done before to marry them.

Those holes also look a lot more like vents then earbud holes but we'll see

 

[Dead Prince]

i bet there's an LCD screen on the ps4

 

[netBuff]

Just a square box? wtf?

It's going to extent into the 4th dimension!

 

[jett]

Not really a fan of the look this screenshot implies:

That picture makes it look like it opens up, like...

 

[Sethos]

Looks like the PC architecture thing was true, it even looks like a PC

 

[EvilKatarn]

Inject it into me.

 

[Az]

They're doing a great job containing MS's stuff. I'm sure they have other things planned for right after the Nextbox's reveal.

Yea, the first full pic will 'leak'.

 

[AnbaLeumas]

The booooooooox! Somebody get me that Nintendo sixty fooooouuurrrrr gif!

Edit: Sony is smart to do this the day before the Xbox reveal. Smart Sony.

 

[Vashetti]

You're doing it wrong.

Sony aint playin around

Great move by Sony to release it 24 hours before Xbox event.

 

[Man]

The most horsepower.
Pure black.
Angular / stealth look.
Oh my controller.
Super easy for devs.

Ultimate game console.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

I gotta side with the theory that it's just a super zoomed in shot of the earbud from the packed-in headset.

Without embouchure? I doubt about that. And it's looks like not a part of console.

 

[kuroshiki]

Just a square box? wtf?

Did you expect circular form?

 

[Requiem]

Not showing the box in February was a really smart move. Now they have something to counter the Xbox hype and dammit, it's working beautifully...

As you say they're teasing the console. Depending on which side of the fence you sit every move a games company makes is because of fear/bravado.

 

[aganu]

Seems like it doesn't have curves. Sony listened to my request!

Headset?

Yep. Mystery solved. They did say they're bundled with every box.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Power button maybe?

I doubt it.

Here is the opposite end (?)

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Yes, slot load or FAIL. The ps3 super slim disc loading mechanism is AWFUL and feels incredibly cheap. I want fidelity (function & appearance).

The new slim is the only model that allows a person to access the lens without taking the console apart.

I have gone through more PS3's than I have fingers on one hand. Do you know what ALL the failures were? That's right, the lens went.

The new model - not slot loading, having an actual bay you can reach - is by FAR the best model. I can clean the lens on it, I cannot on any other model. There is also the issue of more mechanical parts with a slot loader, ie, more things to break, and more things to increase cost.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

GUYS

Calm down.

It's just a SKY HD box glued to an old PS2 stand.

Worried? Far from it.

As for this, great timing. I'm sure we will see more of this in the coming weeks.

 

[Ushae]

I'm going to laugh so hard if both companies end up having near simlar designs and specs, then look at each others reveals and go .. D:

 

[Tratorn]

The touchpad is better integrated now:
