Uros' thoughts on PS4 reveal

Reminiscing back to the last few E3's, there was a small sense of distraught knowing that this current generation was slowly coming to end. It was painfully clear that developers were pushing the technology past its limits, to a point where it was becoming a chore to basically witness repeats g hardware whose innovation had Lon since disappeared.

Even with the reveal and release of Nintendo's "next-gen" console, the W U, little was shown or even demonstrated to prove that any advancements were truly had with the next step in hardware. Obviously, it's too early to tell what potential the system truly has, but thus far, developers haven't seemed to take full advantage of what is fully available to them.

Roughly around the beginning of February, Sony came out and targeted a date late in the month that would reveal some large and game changing. Speculations were thrown around, but the obvious answer was known by all; the official reveal of the PlayStation 4. The conference could've gone wrong in some many ways but thankfully, Sony did it right and had finally set the bench mark for what was to finally come.

Now, despite the lack of any actual appearance of the console itself, Sony brilliantly decided to instead focus less on the specifications of the hardware and more on what the gamers are truly excited for; the games themselves. This decision alone may have tossed Sony the lead over Microsoft and Nintendo in the on-going "console race". Tossing in some familiar first party franchises alongside some never before seen footage of enticing third party games such as Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Bungie's Destiny, it's safe to say that Sony is headed in the right direction with a bright future ahead of them.

Coinciding with all the focus on the games themselves, Sony revealed the official design for the new controller. While remaining largely the same, it boasts a miniature touch screen in the centre, which in turn seems to slightly widen the game pad itself. Interestingly enough, they also decided to include a sensor that rests at the top of the controller, separating the left and right triggers. The full extent of its usage is still unknown but early assumptions seem to be that it plays a similar role to PlayStation move.

Sadly and mostly expected, Sony left out any information regarding possible rough price points with the assumption that the console will most likely launch in Fall later this year. Keep an eye put for Sony's conference during E3 for what should be the official announcement for both pricing and release.
