"So we decided to add yet another fugly black box into the console space."

This is kinda pathetic to say that.

Controller is meant to be dual colored. That's why the black on black looks so bleh.

That is beautiful. Very nice looking controller.

Nice. I hadn't noticed how the black appears to be sort of two toned (I don't know if that is intentional). That red controller looks amazing though, so hopefully they can get some colors out sometime near launch.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just want those colored DS4 controllers...

 

[Sinfamy]

I want to take it behind the school and get it pregnant.

What are you talking about? It's the same as the OG PS3 Slim only a little more hidden. Here's a front view of the PS4, as you can see, once you actually get a PS4 in your hands in shouldn't be a problem. This is Sony we're talking about here.

I actually see it as an improvement from the PS3 which had its USB slots on the bottom left corner which was hard to plug into. Now with PS4 its on the middle right which should be easier to plug into IMO.

Ps3s usb locations are bad too, I tend to leave the cords attached so I don't have to find where it plugs in at. With where ps4 is going to sit on my shelf I can't leave the cords plugged in, I can forsee myself sliding a usb plug back and forth in that deathstar canyon trying to find the hole. I'm waiting for a redesign.

I think looks really good but not put-it-in-a-glass-case-good. What I do love is that it is low profile, not too gawdy "simplicity with flare" and no power brick (based on what I've heard). The camera has that same design language but even simpler. I really don't like the look of the DS4 but I am 99.9% more interested in its function.

That looks amazing

 

[tusken77]

Congrats, man. Mission accomplished. For me, you've designed the sexiest looking console yet.

 

[H_Prestige]

I don't think it looks good, but I will have to see it in person for final judgement.

Controller is nice though.

So you are not buying a ps4 because of its USB plug placement ?

Now I have heard it all.

 

[RedRooster]

It kind of reminds me of these old IBM Thinkcenters we used to use here at work, with the slanted front.

Buy the charge cradle, it's about £25 and would fix your issues as you could stick it out of the way somewhere.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

The design has grown on me. Really like it.

 

[Doc Evils]

Yep! Love the design

[sacrificengineer]

Great design, indeed.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Was this the guy they brought on stage for the reveal?

Didn't they incorporate the golden ratio as well? I remember someone posting on here that they did.

Golden and Silver, son! )

I'm going to buy one after a redesign, Sony always nails it on 2nd and 3rd redesigns. The design is not the sole purpose for waiting, but it's a contributing factor.

 

[nib95]

It's a really slick design. Screams premium. Reminds me of the PS2 era days.

 

[SolidusDave]

Pulsing, huh?

Pulsing LED of the PS4 in action:

Spoiler

(oh please include this. Apparently the LED can also change color. Make it the error signal )

Yes.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Blue please....

Edit for white... oooooo this one!

 

[Broank]

It's truly a great looking console but the one thing that irks me is the little white playstation decal on the glossy panel. It would be completely clean and slick if that were removed. Controller is kinda fugly and slapped together looking tbh.

 

[Iacobellis]

Yes.

The colored controllers are TOO sexy!

 

[PodcastFips]

To me it looks even better than those Sony spaceship BluRay players they had the last years. And I like the controller design a lot more than the old one. I'm not sure about the red and blue ones though, need to see them in front of me.

 

[shakin_haitian]

Slant it and call it a day.

 

[Chumpion]

Dat controller... dat thigh gap...

PS4 feels like a brick I think you could seriously damage someone if you hit them with one of the corners.

Add to that a new ultra thin OLED TV and odds are something will decapitate you if you stumble in the living room.

 

[Acccent]

Must repost always:

 

[OmegaDL50]

I like the fact they are borrowing some design cues from the PS2

Now if the PS4 eventually has a game library that will equally match the PS2 that would be amazing.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Is this real or it's a concept?

Btw, the blue and red DS4 are awesome

 

[Xellos]

I'm more interested in how quiet/effective the APU cooling solution is than how cool the outside looks.

It is a nice looking case, though, and the colored versions of the controller look great.

 

[DietRob]

I really want that white controler to be a real thing.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Mine's gonna look awesome with double sided tape all over the top to prevent my cats from sleeping on it.

Frak! It was at the back of my head since I saw PS4 and I couldn't pinpoint it. Thank you!

 

[Marc]

If they offered it in white, it would look almost perfect.

Still not sold completely on the design, I am very OCD'ish on symmetry though so that off center line kills me.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

I love it. I am in love. I don't even know what game I want I've just got to touch it some more.

Put it vertical.

I see your red one and raise you some others.

These are shopped using my leet skills, not real.

Want Yellow.

 

[IonicSnake]

From a while back.

 

[LiK]

The first concept was probably a giant black ball.

 

[morikaze]

*double post* sorry *bow*

 

[morikaze]

Definitely the best looking console this gen... I still wish this was real

 

[BloodMoney]

Congrats, man. Mission accomplished. For me, you've designed the sexiest looking console yet.

..... correction, the PS4 is the second most sexy console ever.

 

[morikaze]

^ Ew.

Now we're talking.

 

[UNCMark]

I want the custom Destiny PS4.

 

[Krisars]

I want the custom Destiny PS4.

... I'll fucking double-dip if a Destiny-branded PS4 happens.

 

[BruiserBear]

I want colored controllers ASAP. Will probably end up importing a red one.

 

[BloodMoney]

^ Ew.

^ Ew...
we have very different design tastes.

 

[ComputerMKII]

The PS4 logo should at least have had a contrasting color. Black logo on black console looks like an unfinished prototype.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I think the only official colors are red and blue... so far. The white, i believe, is a shop.
