The guy doing the PS4 reveal currently is a complete deadbeat. Why would they allow such a weak voiced geek to do it? Why is he dressed in such scruffy clothes, having obviously not had a shower this week? Why are the bags under his eyes so big? Not much being revealed so far, just lots of buzz word dropping and developer geek chat.

Been quite a bit actually, especially when you understand the tech stuff.

Such as? Your terraflops and systems architecture simplicity and duplicity are very nice, but they don't mean much. Do they?

Well for teraflops the easy way more = better

The things like GDDR5 memory as standard RAM is quite interesting because a couple of weeks ago I heard a PC specialist say that it's a bit too unstable to make good standard RAM at the minute so if they pull that off then it will be extremely fast.

The remote assistance and share features look good too.

The remote play stuff on Vita is a decent idea and they seem to have improved the online setup. The remote assistance is a good idea, but one wonders if there will be an impact on achievements if you use that, surely there will? The sharing and being able to view what your friends are playing is a good idea, being able to tell your mates they are crap at something while they are doing will be good fun.

One thing that worries me about next gen is the reliance on the internet. Judging by the simply awful quality of the stream, one has to wonder if the internet can cope with it all.

They've gone on about the Gaikai streaming of games, have they mentioned if there will still be boxed games?

Near the start they mentioned how gaming has gone from cartridge to CD but never said what the PS4 will run, that might be later.

The Gaikai guy did say though that "if you see a game in a store" you can try it over the cloud first so I'd expect it to have Blu Ray games too.

That English fella in the shirt was so boring. Just got the stream on now, it really irks be hearing scripted old men talk about gaming. Witness looks nothing more than a watered down Kula World.

Have they shown a picture of the box itself yet? I've given up on the stream.

This seems to be the most popular picture popping up, but I haven't actually seen anything confirmed as yet. Just had Capcom then Square Enix up, heard a few rumours of possible HD versions of Final Fantasy games, possibly FF7 or X.

I thought The Witness looked awesome! Games like that are right up my street.
It reminded me of Myst, for those of you old enough to remember that!

Watchdogs impressed me again, really liking what I've seen from that game so far.
