PS4 in Action

PS4 in Action

 So for this posts topic I'll be discussing the PS4's trailer released by PlayStation themselves.
Here's the clip they released.
They definitly show off the PS4 amazing graphics through other games which creates publicity for the game and the console and with publicity comes more pre-orders and buyers who can't wait for its release. In the video they only briefly show off the PS4, but its not the whole thing so they "sort of" skipped over its appearance and went straight for the the graphics. PlayStation is definitely a lovemark that many people love and respect for their consoles they've made over the years that have brought hours of excessive gameplay into the lives of many. With that their trailer took in some appeals that vary from person to person.
  • Appeal to Dominance- Their consoles make us feel empowered to be able to play in the amazing graphics of our favorite games. With sneak peaks at several games it's make it so the "possiblities are endless" for the PS4
  • Appeal to Autonomy- With other consoles such as the XBox 720, Ouya, GameStick, and the Steambox coming out in 2013, the PS4 has a lot of competition if they want to real in buyers and rise above the rest. They want to seperate themselves from this crowded competition and show us the gamers that they are a breed apart to choose them over the competitors
  • Need for Aesthetic Sensations- Lastly with those beautiful graphics, it's no wonder why so many people are attracted to this console. To us the viewers, it's full of wonder and empowers us to being able to say that we are going to be able to play with  highly realistic graphics giving us a enviornment that stimulates our senses
Well that's everything I have on the PS4. Thanks for reading and for those of you, who have 2 hours of extra time here's a replay of the live clip for the PS4's announcement. It really a flashy video put together that has more questions than answers, but it puts on quite a show :)
