[Canis lupus]

I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me... Reminds me of the PS2 which was also good looking. I guess the blue light is indicating its on?

Its gonna look great even if you put it vertically:

What do you think of it?

 

[VGChampion]

I really like it. It also reminds me of the PS2 and that's a good thing.

 

[taku]

Honestly? I think the design is mediocre at best (Same goes for Xbox One).

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I hated it at first... but now, I really do like it.

 

[Sethos]

It didn't exactly blow me away but as you get to dissect the design, see it properly, get all the angles and play with the 3D on SketchFab it really reveals a lot of fantastic touches and nuances. It has the right overall colour scheme, no eye-popping grey disc tray and the little lines and what appears to be LED running down looks classy. Especially when vertical and you see how the slant makes it look like two skyline buildings, it really takes you back. Great proportions.

The fact that some called it a slanted Xbox One makes me question their eyesight.

 

[Cryolemon]

I prefer the more organic look of the original PS3 / 360.

 

[Kid Ska]

I wish it wasn't slanted.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Loved it from minute 1.

 

[CHC]

Yeah it's quite nice looking. I have extremely limited apartment space so I'm happy it's small and sleek. I also am very glad that it has a flat top as I will keep it on top of my desktop PC tower, and can leave my headphones or a flash drive or a cup of easy-to-spill coffee on top of it...

Actually more than likely I will keep the PS3 on top of it and have both hooked up in a nice tight little space.

 

[Minigo]

so funny how curves on a console are out (PS3, XBOX 360) and we are back to clear cuts and squares like the PS2 era, expect the PS5 to be full of curves again I guess.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Measure your boner to know the truth.

 

[Axispowers]

I like it! Weird slanted design but that's fine.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

I wish it wasn't slanted.

.

 

[Pop]

I can dig it

 

[Jondoyle123]

Reminds me of the king

 

[FairXchange]

It's really good lookin'. I think the hardware designer did a excellent job.

 

[Ken]

It looks like a head part in Armored Core.

 

[NIGHT-]

No... Looks like it belongs in a kitchen... After vita, I had high hopes for the ps4 design. No biggie though, I won't be looking at the console just the games

 

[Herne]

It's a slanted brick. Sony can do so much better.

 

[Brinbe]

Yep... people calling it an x-bone clone are blind.

We'll look back on it 10-15 years from now as we do the PS2 slim.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I like the design, I just wish it was all matte. Why are both the Xbone and PS4 matte and glossy? Looks weird.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Yeah it's alright, I get the PS2 vibe. I'm just glad that it's matte black.

 

[crooked spin]

Really only looks good vertically, though.

edit: both sleek and sexy would imply that this has curves -- it's all angles. whatever, it's not terrible.

 

[sixteen-bit]

kinda evocative of the X68000

 

[FonkyByNature]

Love that design. Sony design is usually amazing, one of the best in the world imo.

 

[The_Monk]

I'm really liking it fellow GAFfer!

I can't wait for those Clean/Simple Minimalistic Setups for that GAF thread so I can always get some inspiration. It does look Sexy indeed.

By the way I hope it can vent well, I've seen it the back of the PS4 and I'm wondering if it is enough considering that the PS4 is more powerful. Is it okay?

 

[The Elite]

I wonder where the hard drive bay is.

 

[Minyobi]

The sex appeal of the PS4 is very much up for debate.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I like it.
Reminds me of the PS2.

I wish the stand was blue, though (also like PS2 )

 

[RedNumberFive]

Yeah it's alright, I get the PS2 vibe. I'm just glad that it's matte black.

This. I hate, hate, hate glossy consoles.

 

[batman2million]

Looks meh. As long as it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner, I'm all game.

 

[Cyborg]

Loved it from minute 1.

This

 

[BruiserBear]

I think it's pretty damn nice. Better than the Xbone by a bit.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

It's a lot smaller than I expected it to be I'll say that.

 

[SJRB]

Sexy as hell, haha. The blue line really is the finishing touch.

 

[TabletopTictacs]

Looks like a slim version of a real PS4. I was expecting something bigger and shinier. Guess I'll get used to it.

Edit: the controller looks awesome though. So big and comfortable looking.

 

[Van Owen]

I just hope the top led isn't too bright.

 

[Dirtbag]

Can't stand it personally. It's not going to age well either.

 

[twobear]

Nope. Ugly as hell.

 

[AndyD]

Does the light pulse?

Also, where are the drawings of the PS4 pre-reveal? That one guy nailed it!

 

[Dusky]

It's growing on me.

 

[bobbytkc]

I still feel I'd like it better if it were just a box rather than a prism.

 

[adelante]

I love it. I actually thought that the Xbox One controller is better match to PS4's angular aesthetics than the DS4.

 

[Vire]

I'm just happy it's smaller than the XB1 even though it's technically more powerful.

The rest is gravy.

 

[RyoonZ]

It's black and sleek like Chad Daddy's hair.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

There's already a thread (two?) for this.

Anyway, wonder if the PS logo is backlit?

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I'd like it more without the slanted design, but that's the only thing really setting it apart from anything else on the market, so I guess I'll live with it.

EDIT: The internal PSU is cool.

 

[Red Chocobo]

I wish it wasn't slanted.

That's the best part!

 

[itsgreen]

This needed a new thread? This couldn't be posted in the PS4 hardware/design thread?

 

[Sethos]

I wonder where the hard drive bay is.

You can probably remove some of the flat surface panels, like the black gloss panel and it will sit down there.
