Sony's big Wednesday event in New York for the new PlayStation 4 was streamed live online around the world -- filled with game play, tech talk and a display of new features.
Curious gamers watched,
flocking to Twitter and other social sites to share their thoughts.
Perhaps ironically, not everyone was a fan of the PS4's ability to share
via social sites.
Lead system architect
Mark Cerny outlined a menu of new social features built in to the PS4
such as sharing gameplay with friends, being connected through existing
social networks and monitoring what you play and what you purchase.
"Why does Sony think we want to tell everyone about what games we're playing?" Andrew Meskill wrote on Twitter. "I want to sit in a dark room on my own with a pad."
In the gaming world, some
said, sharing isn't always a plus. "I would much rather figure out how
to beat the game myself rather than have someone complete it for me," Chris Jarvis tweeted.
And in the social age, whenever there's talk of sharing, inevitably the discussion turns to privacy concerns.
"'This system is very aware of the player and whatever is going on in the room at any given point," tweeted Jason Evangelho, a tech contributor for Forbes. "I DO NOT want this, do you?"
But Dennis Fong, CEO of gaming-oriented social site Raptr, told CNN he thinks the social sharing feature built in to the PS4 is exactly what next-generation devices should be doing.
"The ability to capture
an image, video, or instantly broadcast what's on your screen to your
friends is transformational for the new generation of consoles," Fong
said. "Providing players community tools to create content for your game
in the form of videos and live broadcasts is not simply a cool feature
for gamers but also great for business. User-generated content keeps
players engaged with the game even while they aren't playing it and also
attracts new users from the buzz generated around this content."
But features aside, a gaming system is only as good as its games.
That theme started early in the day when gamers on Twitter created the trending hashtag #PlayStationMemories.
Many used it to recall fondly playing classic titles such as "Crash
Bandicoot" or "Spyro the Dragon" on the original PlayStation console.
Sony showed off how
powerful the PS4 will be with in-game footage and demos from a handful
of new titles, including updates to the "Killzone" and "InFamous"
franchises.
Their visuals and gameplay demos induced a lot of digital drooling.
"The pre-release video
of 'Killzone 2' convinced me to get a PS3. 'Killzone 4' might've just
done the same for the #PS4. Outstanding!" Jon Lomas wrote about the demo for "Killzone: Shadow Fall."
Even brand new games,
such as "Deep Down" from Capcom, drew praise despite not showing any
in-game footage. Lauren Anne liked what she saw when a dragon appeared
on screen.
"Oh yes! Deep Down is going to be my top purchase for PS4!" she tweeted. "Dragons and gorgeous graphics are win-win for me!"
