The event was more developer showcase than console announcement, and though you could argue that 'it's all about the games', a little more substantial information regarding the hardware would have been nice. What we did see was impressive though, there were some polished-looking games, and the hardware (in some respects) is even better specified than the rumours had led us to believe.
It's still gripping stuff for PlayStation fans, and not all the demos are online in full. So if you missed out you can still watch all two hours of it at us.playstation.com/meeting2013. Or for a more condescended version you could just watch the video below.
PS4 RELEASE DATE
The official PS4 release date is currently pencilled in for 'Holiday
2013', which most-likely means in time for Thanksgiving in the US, so a
mid-November PS4 launch date. However, for us in the UK things are far
less clear, and the big question is whether we will get the PS4 before
Christmas this year, or be left crying into our Turkey while Japanese
and US gamers post huge quantities of next-gen loveliness onto social
networking sites.
UK journalists at the event did try and get a firmer date out of Sony's top brass, a worthy but ultimately doomed endeavour. Tom Bramwell at Eurogamer
tried to appeal to the better nature of Shuhei Yoshida, President of
Sony Worldwide Studios, but he would only go as far as saying "For us,
Europe is an enormously important market. That's no question. So I hope
European consumers can play PS4 as soon as it's available somewhere, but
I'm not making promises."
