As Comic-Con regulars know, there’s nothing more valuable at the yearly convention than time. With panel lines literally out the door and the Exhibitor Hall packed wall-to-wall with scurrying people, it’s often hard to decide how to allocate your precious time. This year, we’re making that decision a no-brainer. Want to know why?
You guessed it (probably because it’s in the headline of this post!) – we’re bringing PS4 to Comic-Con 2013.
For the first time ever, gamers can go hands-on with the PS4. On top of that, we’ll be showing off some of this year’s most highly anticipated PS3 and PS Vita titles, as well as participating in a number of panels throughout the weekend. If that’s not enough, we’re also hosting contests at the PlayStation booth every day where we’ll be giving away PS Vitas!

Looks cool. I can’t wait to check out the PS4 at PaxPrime in August. Hopefully you guys will bring even more Ps4 Love to that event. (Personally I would love to play Infamous: Second Son).
Octodad is a great choice.
Would love to go
Wish I could go. That’s cool that Octodad is one of the PS4 games being shown, is that a clue that it might be available at launch?
I read that as Neil Druckmann singing :).
Anyway, will there be new news on games?
It would be really awesome if Uncharted 4 was announced as a launch title.
Hopefully I can get to San Diego In a week for my first comic con and second son would have been sweet .November is the month to not be dead by lol. Ps4!!!!
lucky bastards!
I hope there’s more then 3 PS4 games at PAX Prime
Can’t wait for PS4! Like everything about it and it and my PS Vita are gonna be great friends! Can’t wait for FF X HD on Vita and the Walking Dead game! A great year to be a gamer! :)
will the ps4 be coming to the comic-con in salt lake city utah?
Will any of these things be at Chicago Comic-Con? That’d be pretty snazzy.
It seems like am going to miss out, well have fun for me too guys.
@6 T3DV0L70L1N4 I second that! I’ve been waiting to hear an announcement about Un4!!!
I pretty sure mentioning the competition’s main franchise “HALO” on a Playstation website is one of the 7 Gaming Sins.
Wish I could see titles such as Infamous:Second Son or Destiny on PS4 at the booth. I’m sure I will be very impressed either way. I feel disappointment and underwhelming to come from Comic-Con. :/
Will be in attendance at Comic Con and really hoping I can get Hands on Wednesday (Preview Night) otherwise will have to do so between Thursday and Sunday, also really excited to get hands on with Dragons Crown at The Con…..
I just want news and info about Walking Dead game season 2!
Will Sony be at Comikaze in Los Angeles in November?
I will be there and I will be living at your booth!!! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa!!!
WHY ITS THAT VIVI AVATAR NOT ON THE PSN!!!!!???? I NEED IT!!!!
Sounds like a fun lineup. I’d like the behind the scenes on the Walking Dead.
comicon without Infamous Second Son? Thats just wrong Sony. Infamous series was comic book inspired
As I will not be travelling to San Diego sadly, but will be at New York Comic Con in October, will there be a PS4 hands on at NYCC?
So excited for this :) My first SDCC and I am going to raid the Sony booth! :) Will you guys have some swag?
Lucky are those who can attend.VERY LUCKY.
I wished this event was in all countries :/
Soo jealous…
Hopefully I’ll at least be able to get the exclusive SDCC My Little Pony toy since I won’t be able to attend.
I love to go but i live to far from it. :( Oh Well.

You mean you’ll have the actual *final* PS4 at Comic-con, as in with many of the launch features and allow players to check all of that too, like online multiplayer menus, shared videos functioning hands on, etc? Will we be able to test the PS Store running on PS4 or downloading a game (demo, maybe) while playing it? just how much functional will this PS4 be and be allowed to test by the visitors?
2 words: Killzone Mercenary.
ill be there all 5 days! looking forward to the PS4, and watch dogs demos… (also… comics! Joe Madureira!)
I want P O R S C H E into Gran Turismo 6!!!
I think Sony should have a better GPU than 1.8Tflops.
When we compare it to like say, a current gen Mac Pro, for example. It only has 2.7Tflops.
But the new Mac Pro is going to have 7Tflops. That way more raw power than it’s predecessor.
Now granted, I don’t expect the PS4 to have 7Tflops, but if the PS4 can have 2.6Tflops at least, then it will be a console that’ll last much longer during this gen.
Not only that, but Microsoft can change it’s stats of it’s Xbox One at any time.
Either way, it will be a welcome surprised to have a higher GPU performance.
That uncertainty of PCs becoming more powerful, you have to input more power in the GPU.
You do that, you essentially win next-gen. Right now, you are winning, but who knows what can happen from here until the launch.
The main components for better graphics are:
-Processor CPU: The number of cores and how many Gbs of PCI bandwidth speed it has.
Of course, the processor itself is nothing without a good GPU. 8 cores is enough for now.
12 cores would be a waste since most PCs only have 8 cores and Xbox One is only getting 8 as well.
-Graphics GPU, If it’s singular of dual, and how many Tflops it can have.
This is most likely the main piece for better graphics.
-Disc, of course, the Blu-Ray is the best on the market, but it can produce far greater games because of it’s capacity, just look at some of the PS1 games VS N64. Games like Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 8 were way better thanks to picture based backgrounds and the storage of the disc for awesome CG cut-scenes.
Everyone is getting the same, so no advantage to anyone.
-Memory Ram; I would assume it would come here, but given the fact that it’s 8Gb of GDDR5 and gives 170Gb/sec VS 68Gb/sec of a 8Gb DDR3, that’s pretty significant. It’s like having 20Gb of DDR3, in fact, it is equal.
No need for an upgrade here on the memory side.
this would be ace!

I find it really funny.
Display PS4 inside the Convention Center ? I heard that Xbox One will be outside. I hope it outside, because I miss the ticket because I was in class. (College) The ticket went sold out real fast least 30 minutes. :/
sweet :)
wish i could go but the trip alone would be so expensive
Dang.. Wish I could go but I have no money.. Why you be in California =( TO FAR
