PlayStation 4 Launchstravaganza: Part 01

There it is!

Let's do this. PS4 video watching marathon.

yay! been waiting for this all weekend!

Playroom looked decent!

My work here is done.

Lauchstravaganza?

Right after (or during) Jeff showing off remote play, I was tired so I went back to bed. I hoped to catch up further beyond that; I was wondering when they'd upload this. Cool.

Worst launch ever, am I right?

@gunsaredrawn: uh... Wii U anyone?

time to download a whole bunch of video!

I initially read this as "Luchastravaganza" and now I'm bummed.

it took them 17:45 minutes to get into the first game XD

Great stream, looking forward to the Xbone stream now!

That means about 15:00 of additional footage of these guys.. I think that was Sony's entire plan...

Now that we have this out of the way, Sony is going to release a patch to cut that down to 3 mins..

Can you power a PS4 on with a Vita?

R u "red E"

You know ripping on including CD support is all well and good but it's actually kind of a meaningful feature for someone like my parents. The box needs to cater to everyone if it's going to be a true all in one living room solution and that includes having features that may seem ancient or useless to some.

looks ok. not as excited about this as i thought i would be, but ill give it till next year to start picking up some speed, cause as of right now there is no compelling reason to get this....

I feel like most of these features I'll never use. I am excited to play around with it, though. It seems like a huge improvement

I like how after Extra Life, an 8 hour stream is easy mode for these guys.

@csl316: 48 hours of Extra Life, then two 8 hour console launch streams. These guys must have some kind of crazy death wish. Video game journalists sure are a wild breed. I'll guess I'll never understand it...

Did @drewbert made a reference to The FP at 1:05:19?

"No. That would be way too cool and useful".

That's what I thought too..... sadly.

You know what, all that interface stuff at the beginning makes me want a PS4 more than the games I'd play (which admittedly would just be BF4, Killzone, and Resogun). That stuff ran so damn smooth compared to PS3.

I don't understand Brad's problem with the patching process. On the 360, you could cancel out of a patch, but you were signed out of Live for the duration of the game, so network features were unavailable. The PS3 just straight-up said, "Naw, no game for you!" The WiiU had the same thing as the 360. This one seems to allow you to play games as the patch downloads, but doesn't kick you off of the network (but doesn't allow online play). How is this a step backwards?

The surprise the crew had at the clunkiness of PS4's social bits in What's New is hilarious. It's a social networking service, of COURSE its a design trainwreck! :P

I miss Giantbomb's achievements/trophies data tracking

When is Poopin' With Scoops happening?

So tired of hearing about Facebook man.... Just go away

i could watch @drewbert watch me all day :D

I see that people still think it's funny and amusing to send friend requests and messages nonstop when there's a livestream :/

Liking the UI of the PS4, despite it's rough start. Compared to the 360, it looks a hell of a lot more welcoming and there's some neat stuff going on.

Plus hell, the Vita just become a possible future purchase one day for me.

I would be very happy having video game playing marathons as part of my job. Very happy.

Bathroomplay confirmed!

Same, but it's a hard luck life if those cryptic tweets are to be believed.

What are you referring to?

@doctorwelch: Sessler's manic Twitter drama making the life seem super stressful, I'm dumb for bringing it up and we should just focus on the rubber ducks in this video.

I almost forgot about that. Was that ever explained? Sorry for derailing this more.

Jeff... robot tickler.
