It's a game.
But that's all I can say, I have probably said too much already.
Last Guardian on PS4 confirmed.
LOL joking

PS4 hardware review: No compelling software.
When it comes to the idea of exclusives being the sellers, the big sellers are going to be BF4, COD, Fifa, Need for Speed and maybe AC4. Franchises that people know and that generally sells very well. COD alone will outsell every game by a mile.
Killzone and Dead Rising will probably do fairly well but nothing amazing outside of bundles.
And I don't see the likes of Knack or Ryse sales being anything beyond ok at best. If anything, I think those two games will end up being those games everyone forgets about after the initial release.
I'm holding off on buying any next gen console till closer to March since I have a PC that can run multi platform games with high visuals anyway.
If you're going to be an early adopter, don't expect those consoles to have stellar line ups right out the gate. They'll both have interesting games but most will be forgotten within a few months.
The big sellers for these next gens at launch will be the multiplatform games, no doubt.
And don't expect a price drop for a long, long time.
Polygon's video review sums it all up.
"Right now, this is a game console without a game to recommend it."
Gotta build up the hype. Too bad it's embargoed.
It's a positive bomb.
I think everyone ought to open the Polygon review just to see how beautiful the page itself is
The sharing functions also work out of the box, with the ability to share video over Facebook, exactly as revealed at the initial PlayStation Meeting back in February. A quick look at the PS4's hard drive reveals that 15 minutes of Call of Duty footage occupies 567MB. Initially we assumed that PS4's hardware encoder generates 720p30 video at 5mbps, yet a similar amount of Battlefield 4 action weighed in at a much meatier 915MB. What is rather unfortunate is that Facebook is the only option for sharing video clips right now - for reasons unknown, Sony doesn't allow you to copy the footage off onto a USB drive where the user could do a lot more with it, like upload to YouTube for example. Similarly, screenshots can't be exported either - they need to be shared via Facebook or Twitter. What is useful is the way in which the share button can be customised - standard mode sees a short button press being up the share menu, while a long press takes a screenshot. The 'easy screenshot' mode reverses that, while in both modes, a double-tap of the share button sets the start point for a video clip.

The way Kotaku reviews is so much better than putting a score on the end. "Not yet", two words that tells you all you need to know, and two words I could not agree more with. In 2-3 years with a decent backlog and a price drop the PS4 will be a worthwhile pickup.
I would have enjoyed more an updated version of:
Heck, even Nintendo should have released a "Wii U loves you" today.
Imagine a world where everyone only buy devices 2-3 years into its lifespan.
I can comfortably predict that polygon is gonna give XB1 a 10 and praise the hell out of it. Saying things Like the games are great and look fantastic. This is true next gen experience even though most games are 720p, it's about games not graphics. TV has never been so much better.
Nostradamus Has spoken.
@jeffgerstmann: I was surprised to see how clunky the patch download/install process was on PS4. Reminds me of the Vita. The rest of it is pretty elegant.
@jeffgerstmann: It still does that PS3 thing where if you accept friend requests really quickly you can catch the same one twice, causing an error msg.

This past generation has dragged on too long. Though there were still standout moments, many proven ideas became too relied upon, while graphics hit a ceiling. The PlayStation 4 is a long-overdue leap forward for Sony, but it doesn't take any risks. Sharing features might change how players approach playing and watching games, but it doesn't change the central experience.
The controller will make playing them more comfortable, but it too is merely an advancement on an a controller blueprint that was etched in the mid-nineties.
Fears that console gaming would buck and bend to the whims of the fickle casual market have proven false - this system is absolutely built for core gamers. And yet, for those expecting to see something that definitively turns a corner, you won't find it here just yet.
There's a good chance that the software platform will allow for greater innovations in the future, such as more streaming options expected to be added later down the line, but for now, Sony is selling a futuristic machine with not many new things to do on it.
Yeah polygons review is going to be 8 and they will say it does everything the PS4 does and more.

Compared to what that guy who got his Xbone early was saying, this is a pretty big difference.

He probably got the information from PlayStation Norway (Nordisk Film/Trigger). They do (sometimes) send out press releases in advance with embargoes.
S¡mon;89676345 said:So the general negative points are...
- No MP3/DLNA/downloaded videos support is gonna be fixed
- Game line-up is underwhelming we already knew
- PS4 OS could be a bit better when it comes to the organization of your digitally downloaded games only this?
PSN subscriptions needed for multiplayer
CVG released their review,
This is correct.
This is one of the strictest embargoes i have received from Sony. Im not even allowed to tell the embargo date lifting.
When there's a will, there's a way. It's a very stupid will, however.How do you really review a console with a score? Odd.
Can't bite the hand that paid for your website and the pretentious documentary!
It won't.

I think it's a case of a lot of us judging a console by exclusives out the gate when the real meat will always be 3rd party.Oh no, Knack and Ryse will be used in the console wars to come. Just like Sixaxis-focused games like Lair, Wii Whatever and Kinect games.
But you have a great point. When you get a console at launch, your game selection will eventually pale in a years time. I didn't end up loving my PS4 until a little bit under a half a year later. Same thing with my Xbox 360.
These are all appetizers. I'm waiting for my fucking Gundam game.
