Support NeoGAF

[PowerSmell]

LOL nice Bluetooth and DVD logos on the front. Additional LOL at the wifi (not network) LED. This is a joke fake.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Would you really call this a "rumor"?

Sexy box.

 

[Punkster_NY]

Damn it Gaf! Shut up...you're ruining this for me :''( ' '

 

[Rollo Lawson]

That design has "set top box" and "online services" written all over it...

Sexy, though

 

[VanWinkle]

Doesn't look legit. The zoomed out shot just doesn't look realistic nor good (that enormous Sony logo and tiny USB ports look off), although the close up shots do look nice.

 

[sn00zer]

PS4 doesn't support CD.

WHAT?!?!?! How will I listen to my Linkin Park CDs?...but seriously that is really weird that it doesnt....figured pretty much any disc drive can play cds

 

[daveo42]

translation ?

No SACD or CD support for the PS4.

 

[ferr]

Would you really call this a "rumor"?

It's rumored to be real

 

[ymmv]

Isn't that shot CG..?

20 feb 13 = date of the PS4 event.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Would you really call this a "rumor"?

Uhm yeah... can you proof it's fake?

 

[Minions]

Awesome looking. Man this thread is flying. A lot better than the super slim ps3.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Can't read Chinese dude. What does it say?

Japanese,

Interviewing Andrew House, it's noted the Playstation 4 doesn't support SACD or CD.

 

[phosphor112]

Honestly? That looks pretty good.

Also, shaped lights are awesome.

LED strip gives it away as fake.

Sadly. No one (sony) wants to pay that much for that.

 

[Baconsammy]

It looks big and heavy as fuck, or small as an Apple TV. I can't tell. Put it next to something.

 

[TimHortons]

Can't read Chinese dude. What does it say?

Saying PS4 does not support SACD\CD but that's from an older interview.

 

[Elixist]

The green light on my Xbox already gets me riled up, this'll be a nightmare unless the light is like the one on Wii.

hi five. electrical tape my best friend, fuck leds on all my electronics.

 

[Midou]

Same thing for the "compact disc" appearing on the box. They were likely working on this commercial before the final design/features were even confirmed.

Yeah, I've done a bit of basic 3D modelling of CD/DVD players and the likes in highschool and I'd strap on a generic image like that for some 'authenticity', not a proper indicator of fake exactly.

 

[PshycoNinja]

Fake

Glad I can point that out for you .

I can understand why people want it to be real. But seriously, we must use better judgement here .

 

[Mobius1]

Looks fake to me. The production value is pretty low and it feels like it's trying to copy older Playstation ads. Sony is capable of more forward-thinking campaigns.

 

[Moral Panic]

translation ?

PS4 wont support CD/SACD.

Hope its fake, is ugly as hell.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

The scale seems kinda off. Is this box very small?

By the size of usb ports doesn't seem to be so small

 

[STG]

why does it have the compact disc logo on the front? weren't they dropping CD support?

so yeah

fake

PS1 support!

 

[BruiserBear]

Fake

Why does that image make it fake?


If that video is fake it's sad someone wasted the time making it, with the logos in the eyes, etc. I like the box design, but I'll be a little surprised if it's that compact.

 

[daoster]

Where's the make.believe Sony logo at the end?

Fake!

hahaha

Hahaha, nice find. So much arrogance.

 

[Evoga]

Real.

 

[casnix]

I like it.

[GYNGA]

Nothing will ever top the fake Nintendo On reveal trailer

Can I haz a link please?

 

[jaypah]

This looks stupid. It sounds stupid. The word "huh" sounds like it was spoken by someone who never heard the word in any context ever. Not to mention Sony would probably have at least a little game footage that couldn't have been ripped from available YouTube videos. So I'll just assume that a guy/gal got 3 of their friends and a kid and slapped together a nice video.

In the event that it is real I don't have a problem with the look of the box at all, aside from them giving me the option to turn that obnoxious Tron strip off. That's the only obstacle. An obnoxious obstacle. An 'Obnoxtacle', if you will.

 

[strangedopamine]

Uhm yeah... can you proof it's fake?

This thread says the PS4 can't play CDs. The video shows that it can.

It's fake.

 

[Picobrain]

Looks amazing. I hope its real.

 

[see5harp]

Looks like a modern day VCR. Surrounding your console with LED's is all sorts of dumb. Please let there be a window on the side so that people can look inside to see all them fans spin.

 

[lefantome]

fake but nice design except for few mistakes

 

[Midou]

Why does that image make it fake?

This, don't quite get it..

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

The LED Strip makes this completely fake. No console, set top box, etc will want to emit that much light from under the TV. Talk about distracting. Also all of the gameplay shown was from things we have already seen. This is just a well put together fan art/commercial/promo/thing.

 

[MeBecomingI]

That looked fake to me.

 

[jabuseika]

That looks more like just a blu-ray player.

If the PS4 is actually that small in form factor, I would be extremely surprised.

 

[timshundo]

Wifi LED? LOL. Come on you guys...

 

[Mr.Wreckless]

A console with all those lights on the front would be a waste. I dont want a glowing console. Im pretty sure everyone turned off the glowing blue Wii lights after 2 days.

 

[Acquiescence]

Japanese

Always manage to hook one in eventually.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Looks like some kind of futuristic mock-up. I'm inclined not to believe it.

I don't dislike the design however. Very tron. (Though I could imagine that bright line being irritating in a dark room, which is in large part why I don't believe it.)

 

[p3tran]

It's ironic that the best Sony ad in years is not a Sony ad.

agreed

 

[PshycoNinja]

This could easily be an earlier version before they had final approval. I work in design and we have multiple versions of files all the time that are reviewed and edited by a number of people.

Same thing for the "compact disc" appearing on the box. They were likely working on this commercial before the final design/features were even confirmed.

But you would have raw footage of just the PS4 logo. Someone wouldn't put the PSEye in there, even if it was early concept.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Wifi LED? LOL. Come on you guys...

let them dream

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This thread says the PS4 can't play CDs. The video shows that it can.

It's fake.

maybe mistranslation? who knows... still no official word from Sony that PS4 can't play CD's. So...

 

[UrbanRats]

Horrible design.
Also horrible fake.

 

[Crazypanda_85]

I do like that design (maybe because I love Tron, lol) and having that bright LED light wouldn't be as distracting as some would think. I do feel like it may not be a legit design but I do like it.

 

[ferr]

Can I haz a link please?

[GoofsterStud]

I actually like the design. Very hipster. Just hope those aren't bright LEDs, that'd suck.
