PlayStation 4 - General Discussion Thread

[CrimsonPaw]

Unfortunately, I'm going to leave halfway through. I have a meeting that I can't skip out on. I'm gonna miss out on seeing some of the news first-hand.

Can you have a liveblog up? Here's Engadget's: http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/20/playstation-gamescom-2013-liveblog/

 

[Richard Kain]

Gran Turismo 6 is coming out on December 6th, at least in Europe. (though it's likely to arrive in other markets on the same date, wait for confirmation)

Little Big Planet is going Free-To-Play with Little Big Planet Hub. This is a pretty natural fit, and good leveraging of that brand.

 

[jkam]

Is Infamous not a launch title?

Yeah not a launch title.

 

[Josh5890]

So sony is bringing free to play to one of their franchises. This should be interesting.

 

[Erad30]

LBP hub looks more like a souped up and monetized Miiverse than an actual game.

 

[Erad30]

Shit Borderlands 2 on Vita? If that's a good port that'll be insane.

 

[CrimsonPaw]

There you go, system and memory card price drops for the Vita!!!!!!

 

[jkam]

price drop on system and memory cards, finally hopefully people will stop bitching and buy the Vita.

 

[Josh5890]

And finally the price cut

Whats the memory card prices? 32 GB sub $40 would be great but I'll bite at $50

Shit Borderlands 2 on Vita? If that's a good port that'll be insane.

I wonder how that is even possible considering how big the game is.

[Erad30]

I'm in for a refurbished Vita. Or maybe a BF bundle.

 

[Deader2818]

so vita still has no games coming, lol.

 

[Josh5890]

After Killzone, it doesn't look like it.

I can't believe there wasn't any first party announcements for Vita.

 

[Erad30]

Eh we already did the Sony loves indies thing, I don't think this is something they should focus a major part of their conference. On the show floor and interviews sure, but it's kind of whatever on the big stage, move on to the big stuff.

 

[Mako1215]

I'm just waiting for the release date info.

 

[jkam]

I can't believe there wasn't any first party announcements for Vita.

Yeah what's up with that?

 

[Josh5890]

Yeah what's up with that?

They needed a God of War, Infamous, Gran Turismo, Ratchet, Jak, or anything!!!

 

[jkam]

I'm cool with Indie and all but we need some big first party titles on Vita.

 

[Deader2818]

Sony is destroying Xbox One on indie.

 

[Erad30]

That line was so stupid. Hey guys, you know our studios? They're working on games for us!

 

[Josh5890]

That line was so stupid. Hey guys, you know our studios? They're working on games for us!

It was weird. He basically said that we will have great games available 2-3 years down the line. Obviously they will have games then.

 

[Erad30]

WTF was that?!? Rapture showed jack shit.

 

[blueweltall]

Why do they keep zooming out when showing a trailer?

 

[Erad30]

Rime looks like Ico 2...

 

[pbnj93]

.

 

[pitfallharry219]

Rime looks pretty awesome.

 

[Deader2818]

Both of those games look bad ass.

 

[htz]

Rime and Rapture look very intriguing.

 

[pitfallharry219]

Why do they keep zooming out when showing a trailer?

I know. It's getting annoying. I'd rather watch the video than watch other people watching the video.

 

[Erad30]

Rime yes, Rapture how could you tell nothing was shown but a title screen.

 

[Deader2818]

If you played Dear Ester you know what to expect.

 

[htz]

If you played Dear Ester you know what to expect.

^This.

 

[Josh5890]

Sony is really trying to be the official indie console. That is fine but hopefully they have a couple 1st party surprises for the end.

 

[Ryuukishi]

"INDIE INDIE INDIE" is the new "TV TV TV." :lol:

Rime looked cool. Borderlands 2 and Fez on Vita is great news. Pretty decent conference so far.

 

[blueweltall]

Camera guy is ruining every freaking trailer!

 

[Erad30]

Sounds like 2014 will be a great year to get a PS4, but not 2013...

 

[Erad30]

Is that it for games? WEAK.

 

[pbnj93]

.

 

[htz]

Dedicated pipes for PS4 gamers, that sounds interesting. I hope they bring this opportunity to the US.

Yeah they need to announce some more AAA games.

 

[Josh5890]

All they need is one teaser announcement (cough) Uncharted 4 and then it is a good conference.

 

[Deader2818]

Isn't Uncharted series pretty much done? Unless they have someone else do it?

 

[Erad30]

Oh joy more ACIV & Watchdogs footage. No one cares. And I still wouldn't pay $200 extra for remote play, that's not going to push Vita sales guys...

 

[Josh5890]

Isn't Uncharted series pretty much done? Unless they have someone else do it?

Someone else in the Sony family will pick it up. Hopefully.

 

[StryderOmega]

So Vita memory dropped by $20 msrp? Gathering from almost every site that sells them. Laaaame. Needs more of a price drop.

 

[jkam]

Assassin's Creed IV isn't even out yet and I'm tired of it. Lol.

 

[Josh5890]

How can remote play work seamlessly without two shoulder buttons?

 

[blueweltall]

Back touchpad.

 

[Jodou]

Why do they keep zooming out when showing a trailer?

Glad I'm not the only one screaming at my TV when they do this. STOP ING WITH VIEWS WHILE SHOWING GAMES! Every damn time they show a new title I can't even see the game because what the crowd is doing is apparently more important. They need to fire their idiot crew up in the booth because they're doing an awful job.

Secondly, this show has had ZERO momentum so far and it's really killing me waiting on a release date. The longer they drag on, the less I care about what they're showing. Don't care about PS3 games, don't care about Vita, don't care about indie games I can play on my PC. Now they're showing Ubisoft games I've seen a million times by now; hint: DON'T CARE. Ugh, just wake me when they're ready to deliver real news about gaikai plans and a launch date.

 

[Josh5890]

Did he just say ALMOST all games for remote play?
