I suppose I'm curious about the PS4 but I need to see some games in action (and less gushing about specs) before I get excited.
Yup. I was kind of surprised at how little we actually know about the system compared to before the event. Everything is still just speculation.
We knew there would be a new controller, Sony already said they wouldn't be sticking with the DS3, and we knew that the hardware would be more powerful. Besides seeing a couple of tech demos running off of a PS4 developer kit (a PC with architecture similar to the final PS4) we really don't know anything of substance. Or, at least, not enough substance to be able to make an informed purchasing decision.
For me, the increase in power/visual capabilities isn't really that exciting. Once you've gone through enough new console cycles, you kind of expect the new stuff to look a lot better than the old stuff, and it always does. I almost feel like the never ending cycle to have the most gigaflops and RAM and HDMIs ends up making me want to play 80s/90s consoles. I enjoy the simpler times of just sitting down to play a good game without having to deal with the myriad of crap that surrounds current gen.
