He's not trying to be one though. Give him some credit.

guy is saying - you will be able to compare them yourself and decide, doesnt have anything to do with "confidence"... Being confident of your own product doesnt mean you get to crap on everyone else's... Turn10 tried that and didnt work out for them.

 

[takriel]

Hopefully this means more Vita love

haha

hahaha

hahahaha

 

[iamshadowlark]

Pretty sure ps4 at e3 was pc machines?

Most of them were devkits,. A few third parties used PCs...

 

[ElTorro]

Don't know much about the original source of the rumor, "Guy". But when "generyx", who works for the games department of Saturn (part of the Media Markt Saturn holding of Metro), confirmed it I became curious.

Somebody replied to him "I don't know if I can take Saturn as a source of information serious anymore." whereon he replied "Hehe, me neither…".

Smells like trolling.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

I think this is in reaction to the two AA battery megaton announcement from Microsoft the other day.

They're scrambling to deliver parity with this unique selling point of the Xbox One. Yes it's true.

 

[Auto_aim1]

This is a strange rumour to post since the source isn't credible and thinking that there may be a delay due to this is really absurd.

 

[Hoo-doo]

So he's an employee at the games department at saturn? Why is he even regarded as a "source"?

I was an employee at Media Markt for years (the same store under a different name).
To think these people actually get insider knowledge about these things is hilarious in it's own right.

 

[gembel]

its now called ps5

 

[Eknots]

Rumour: PS4 TO ONLY WORK ON SONY 3D TVs
I heard it from some guy at a place that once sold cameras.

 

[childplease]

Nah, that's the Xbox One, the PS4 it's 2 SLI Titans.

heheh true.

Sony obviously sends out secret briefings to random retail store employees regarding the state of their console shipment for a videogame conference.

Spill the beans Hoo-doo. What is Guerilla and Sony Santa Monica's new IP?

I'm just trying to imagine a scenario where Sony realizes they won't have PS4s at Gamescom... So they call a retailer to let them know.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Drive Club (sorry, #DRIVECLUB) even has a new demo being playable, doesn't it? Unless its been ported to PS2?

I now have this image in my head about Driveclub being a PlanetSide 2 IAP... :/

 

[Hanmik]

 

[Hoo-doo]

Translation:

Q: Is that right? No PS4's at Gamescom?

A: No, that's not right.

 

[TheBaron]

The PS4 is non-playable unless people pay for a VITA admittance fee, by purchasing a vita at the gift shop, or providing proof of owning one.

This also applies to all pre orders, you are also buying a VITA and will be charged accordingly.

 

[Bundy]

ekim, former opm-net board member confirmed.

 

[JABEE]

That seems to confirm this "rumor" is fake.

 

[cebri.one]

Rumor: No PS4 at PS4 meeting.

 

[LowEndTorque]

Some random post on a weird forum? Seems legit.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Ummmmmm.....lol
No way this is true.

I agree with this. Considering they've already said it will be a PS4 show, I don't believe they'll make such a huge error; particularly when the Xbone will be there in full force.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

LOL Krilekk grasping at straws as always.

 

[Spongebob]

You're trying too hard OP.

This rumor is complete and utter bullshit guys.


I'm not saying this as a guess...

Welp, that's that.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Yeah, with a new console looming and a ton of postive momentum, I'm sure they're just going to sit this out and let Microsoft have the stage with their hundreds of playable Xbone games.

Makes sense.

 

[FeiRR]

At least Krilekk has his food ready in his own avatar.

 

[klee123]

MS wishes this would happen. Along with the MS fans too!

 

[Devilgunman]

Don't know much about the original source of the rumor, "Guy". But when "generyx", who works for the games department of Saturn (part of the Media Markt Saturn holding of Metro), confirmed it I became curious. And like I said, having stuff stuck at customs is always a possibility. Happens to us citizens all the time to have no access to our stuff for four weeks because of customs regulations, could easily happen to Sony as well. The summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia (which is where Cologne is, which is where Gamescom takes place) run from 22nd of July to 3rd of September. That means there is only a limited workforce at customs and they aren't known to make exceptions. First come, first serve.

If the problem is indeed custom regulation, that means PS4s for Gamescom are already stuck at Germany border at the very moment. If that's the case, nobody should know, not even Sony itself, how long it's going to be stuck there. That's how custom works. If they need to inspect something at the border they will never give you a time frame when your stuff will be granted the access. The question is, if nobody have a clue whether PS4 will make it to Gamescom in time, how can a dude working in a game department know?

They send messages to store employees, scrawled on pieces of paper and hidden inside the protein jelly served at lunch.

 

[Coxy]

thanks for coming here and letting us know the good news ekim!

 

[Busty]

LOL Krilekk grasping at straws as always.

But his reasoning is such delicious madness. He's almost Jackson Pollack like in his approach just throwing everything into a post in one tangled, abstract mess in the hope someone will see something.

its now called 'ps Johhny 5 Is ALIIIIIIIIVE'.

Fixed.

 

[glaurung]

At least Krilekk has his food ready in his own avatar.

Ice cold.

 

[stereotone]

Definately wrong. Been at the exhibiton halls a few minutes ago. There are already installing the demo stations. At least a quarter of the huge playstation booth is dedicated to PS4.

..First post after several years of membership! Hello all!

 

[fantomena]

It was a funny rumor at last.

 

[KOHIPEET]

If X1's there, PS4's gonna be there too. This is a silly rumor. It would be an incredibly stupid thing from Sony to miss the biggest European show three months before release.

Also, Killzone: SF's MP is said to debut at Gamescom, so.

 

[Team Filler]

Is it bad of me to be more excited for further impending meltdowns as the new console launches approach, than for the actual consoles themselves?

Because I totally am.

Sorry, I was joking. Rushy answer was great and as you said had nothing to do with confidence. Let your work speak for itself and all that jazz.

Welcome my friend.

Good to have you aboard.

Spoiler

...., that's a post from a German border official if ever I've seen one. This rumour be real y'all.

[Kaako]

Hi stereotone, how do you have access to the exhibition halls if you don't mind me asking?

Take pics of the boxes! We love those!

 

[Throwaway123456789]

We contacted Sony directly for clarification, and they said it's going to be playable on the show floor (even asked where the rumor was from, as they hadn't heard it). Case closed.

 

[stereotone]

Been there but nothing to see there yet. Only already announced stuff. But already nice banners at the outside. Huge Battlefierd Seabattles are teased.

 

[fastford58]

I downvote this rumour as the dumbest thing I have heard all summer. Like...come on. Seriously.

 

[robertsan21]

some sad xboned fan spreading lies. what else should we expect after such a sad start to the new Xboned one.

Thank you for confirmation

Now somebody can call that dude out in op source forum.

[Simply Sami]

So why has it been confirmed for Eurogamer? If its anything to do with customs.

 

[Jinfash]

LOL Krilekk grasping at straws as always.

I knew the name sounded familiar for the wrong reasons.
