They did address the "world" during the PS Meeting and of which it stated "coming this holiday".

Further reports on the net stated they are pushing for a 2013 global release.
The console has also been spotted on numerous European online stores, here in Finland you can pre-order the system already for but for 1000 euro.

Since the price isn't known yet I suppose that makes sense, though be it Dutch, Finnish, French, Swedish or British websites....they all list it for November 2013 as the release date/month.

Sony is going in for the kill this time. Then tommorow they will probably have a Champions League commercial. Some banners to promote the PS4/E3 unveiling like they did with the meeting. Yeah i think Microsoft stands no chance in Europe not even the UK.

The reason Xbox even won in the Uk was because it launched 18months before ps3 and was 100 pounds cheaper.

Arai4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

Yeah prepare for total annihilation!

The timing couldn't be better either, XO being pounded left/right.
Commercial of sort during the Champion's League is a big deal, hell this news itself is a megaton.

Your right tommorows dortmund vs Bayern the CL final their going to show something for sure!

seanpitt234021d ago

If this is true this has just made me a very happy person.

BISHOP-BRASIL4020d ago

I belive it is. On may 7th they had a PS conference here in Brazil to announce our local factory starting to produce PS3s, by the end they had a Q&A where they basically confirmed the console will release here the same day as US and the rest of the world.

(about 44 minutes or a bit before if I'm not mistaken, don't worry, it's practically all in english)

Everything pointing at a worldwide release.

g-nome4021d ago

Thought that was confirmed a while ago already.

Angeljuice4021d ago

Yes, but they usually say that then hold back the European release for several months. If they're publishing adverts then it may just happen.

d0nT wOrrY4021d ago

I'm eagarly waiting to see the PS4 ad in tomorrow's UEFA final :D

imahustla194021d ago

Pyrrhus4021d ago

If you look towards the left of the picture, thats what is normally situated in a legit piece of newspaper.

imahustla194021d ago

ur right i totally missed the part about it being a newspaper ad. congrats UK you get to join in on the new gen fun this year!

Arai4021d ago

It's as real as it gets... http://i.imgur.com/LLEU4g4....

In the Netherlands Metro newspaper used to be free (handed out or lying around at the train/bus stations).
Not sure how it is in the UK or Sweden though.

grassyknoll4021d ago

It's free in the UK too, normally situated in train stations.

MultiVersus Devs Are Teasing Another Steven Universe Character

A MultiVersus developer seems to be suggesting that a new Steven Universe character is going to join the roster soon, something that might even have been backed up by leakers.

We're just a few days away from the long-awaited relaunch of MultiVersus and while most of us are just excited to get our hands on the new Season 1 characters like Jason, Joker, Banana Guard, and Agent Smith, that hasn't stopped Player First Games from teasing some future additions.

This could work and would be very interesting and fun the way these robots break

Cacabunga13h ago

A Lego game? I would never buy it and it’ll flop badly because the Lego games are cartoon or big movie licenses that appeal to casual and families with kids. Horizon no one knows what that is.

Popsicle7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I agree in that this is not something I am interested in at all. Maybe the target is a Horizon game that doesn’t require a mature audience and can be sold to kids. Just a thought. 🤷

porkChop2h ago

But those kids don't really know what Horizon is. And why bring them into a franchise where they can't play the other games? Idk man, it seems like a really weird decision.

@porkChop

My son is is fascinated by our models of the various creatures from Horizon. He's always asking about them, and wants to play with them, but he's much too young to play the games.

What harm is there in producing a game that is accessible to a younger age group?

I mean, previous Lego games have been based on franchises that are traditionally more mature than the games themselves. And they sold perfectly well. I understand that this is a slightly different situation, but that doesn't mean it won't be successful.

From Sony's perspective, they currently have a bit of a lack of games targeting younger audiences (something that consoles are uniquely positioned for). Of all Sony's franchises, Horizon is one that has the potentially of appealling to children. So in that regard, it's a perfect match.

jznrpg5h ago

Im sure it could be a good Lego game. The problem for me is I don’t care for the Lego games. Obviously this isn’t catered to me so I don’t mind it being a thing as I have plenty of other games to play. For the people that do enjoy Lego games I’m sure it could be on of the best Lego games if done right.

-Foxtrot4h ago

I just don't understand the why of this

It's like...of all the things you could do

Yea this is one of those things no one ask for or probably even care about.

Moving In My 30s Made Me Nostalgic For Physical Games

GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle8h ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
