They also promised that the company fully supports the use of used games, and will not restrict used game sales in any way, allowing players to borrow and lend games with friends, rent games online, or sell their old games for new ones.

That means no game verification, and fully-functional offline gaming. The biggest question on everyone’s mind was how the PlayStation 4 will handle online connectivity, and Sony has promised (while taking a well-deserved stab at Microsoft) that gamers will never be required to connect to the internet if they choose not to. Sony Pictures is also working on bringing exclusive original programming via Sony’s Video Unlimited service, though no specifics were mentioned as to what kind of content we can expect. Users will be able to watch the biggest pay-per-view events live or on demand at any time through the new service.

PlayStation Network will retain all of the services that have made the PS3 so popular, with the addition of Flixster, Redbox Instant, and perhaps the best new service, the Live Events Viewer. Sony has finally shown off the console, which is small, sleek, and definitely a product of PlayStation. Sony made it clear that they working on creating the best gaming experience possible for the next-generation, and are adding some great new features. Though the PlayStation 3 continues to thrive, everyone was anxiously awaiting the news about PlayStation 4. In previous gameplay previews, we’ve seen Ellen Page escape a police station and witnessed destruction on a massive scale, but the latest trailer takes the character to the Middle East on a special mission for a military force. This trailer was one of the most interesting previews of the show, providing a new look at Quantic Dream’s upcoming titled starring Ellen Page and Willem Defoe. The conference opened with some big announcement regarding the company’s current console, including some great new trailers for games we’ve known about for quite some time. Sony is certainly not slowing down the incredible momentum they have developed over the past 7 years. There were still a few unanswered questions about the features of the system, including the PlayStation network, always-online connectivity, and used games, but Sony took the time to hit all of the important notes, beginning with a look at the future of the PlayStation 3.
