So many complaints about the controller being ugly. Personally I don't intend to keep it on the mantlepiece - it's for controlling games, not for looking at, so as long as it's good for that who cares

Hahahaha Jimmy failed at Uncharted 3 as well when they brought it on his show. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since Killzone is like throwing him into the deep end of first person shooters.
Looks like the pad'll be for easily browsing menus, which makes sense.
I wouldn't say it makes much sense for browsing menus, I'd say it makes more sense for browsing windows with a lot of icons. Still, not ideal as far as I'm concerned, because it could be rather awkard holding the controller with one hand and using the 'mouse' with the other, especially if they don't integrate tap = click and instead insist on using X.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Just read Tycho's write-up of the thing and he came to the same conclusions that I did, and seems to share equal excitement about the prospects. Obviously there's some self-serving bias here in me agreeing with him (fervently) but looking at it in the grand scheme of things I really believe Sony is doing everything right with this machine.
The big misstep could come with the price announcement. But I doubt even a PS3-level snafu could kill it - really, it just made the PS3 more of a slow-burner, and if Sony is good at anything, it's playing the long game.
And I say this as a PlayStation fan.
Yeah, that's why they're doing so well financially.

"No," Yoshida said, when asked about any current-gen PSN game being natively supported on the PS4. "Unless, somehow, some games work on emulation. The easiest thing technically would be to make PS1 games work on PS4 through emulation. But we aren't talking about our emulation plans as yet. There are two ways: emulation or cloud service. But native support, no, sorry. We could do so if we choose to. We know who purchased what as a record. But we are working on service plans, and we haven't decided."Originally Posted by Bubba
In last night's PS4 announcement, Sony revealed the new console won't have backwards compatibility for PS1, PS2, or PS3 discs, although the company aims to use the PS Cloud service to stream previous-gen games as a workaround.

You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?
I'm not sure what you mean about holding and using it with different hands... looks like you'll be able to just use your thumbs (that's where start, select and home were, afterall). And when I saw it, I immediatley thought about my Oblivion menus and how convenient it would be to just swipe through it all. You know how when you normally move the cursor if you hold it down for a while to speed up? Well now you don't need that wait period, you can just swipe for faster speeds instead.
I'm actually kinda feelin this thing now.
If they wanted to support PS1/2/3 games on it, they would drive the cost up through the roof. I'm glad they didn't bother. It's a sadly necessary thing."No," Yoshida said, when asked about any current-gen PSN game being natively supported on the PS4. "Unless, somehow, some games work on emulation.

The games are still built on the PS3 architecture. People seem to be very confused with this. THEY ARE NOT USING THE "CELL" ON THE PS4. It would drive up costs on what's already expected to be a pricey machine. This means all games designed to be used on the PS3 will not be compatible. That includes PSN games made for the PS3.What's their excuse for possibly not supporting PSN purchases?If they wanted to support PS1/2/3 games on it, they would drive the cost up through the roof.

Yeah, it's similar to not supporting some PSP games on the PS3. Sometimes it just doesn't work. But they did say that should certain games be playable in time through streaming software that they will look into options to help people play games they have previously purchased on PSN.

I would say that PSN purchases has to be a necessity day 1. I really doubt Microsoft won't carry over, their console is arguably built on their digital store.
When you say PSN purchases on day one are a must-have - do you mean being able to purchase & play PS1/2/3 games on PS4 on day one? If so, I disagree it's a "must have". People who buy a PS4 on day one won't be doing it so they can quickly hop onto the PS Store and start downloading/playing PS1/2/3 games.
