Sony Media Event today? MLB '14 The Show media incoming?!

we still didn't hear anything from the infamous EU media event either...why hasn't anything leaked at all!? 0_o Sony is actually getting good at stopping leaks

edit: made a mistake, it was for Order, not infamous
 
I'm pretty pumped for MLB The Show on the PS4.

I've only played it on the PSP the past few years.

ANd yes, CC is definitely thinner in that tweet.

I just hope Ryan Howard is thinner this year too! Dude was putting on the pounds with a bad ankle last year.
 
PS3 port, PSP port, or completely new? I have both PS3 and PSP versions (the latter is on my Vita permanently) so super curious.

PS3 port BUT with more shizzle...

1. UGC works with PS3...
a) Can publish your own levels.
b) Can play levels that already exist on PS3.
c) So players CAN create and share on VITA then play on PS3 (once PS3 update is completed).

2. Extra ship added.
a) We have added the 3rd ship from the PSP version. This ship has an anti-gravity device installed, meaning you canÂ’t plummet to your death my letting go of the stick.
b) We have re-organised the ship selection layout, left to right = easy to hard.

3. Graphical Changes
a) Particles x millions. We've overhauled the particle system.
b) Other VFX improved. We've gone over all VFX and improved for performance and look.
c) Landscape fill, as now rocky (perhaps still not final) as opposed to swirly. Lighting effects now affect landscape and make it look more alive.
d) Debris particles now share the same colour as the landscape. On PS3 they were only ever "orange".
e) Have added a pseudo 3D effect by utilising the gyro in the VITA.

As well as some other re-design stuff ;)
 
I'm trying to hold off on getting a PS4 until this holiday season, but depending on how MLB 14 looks, I might cave in.

I bought an earlier edition, like MLB 11, and it was hard as hell. Have they made the hitting controls any easier? I would love to pick up the new PS4 edition, Cabrera on the cover is icing on the cake, but that game was hard as hell to hit anything.
 
oops made a mistake. It wasn't infamous, it was for the Order. Took place last week I think


Oh wait...iirc it was mentioned that the US Press event for the game is on the 10th too. I believe the embargo is on the 14th or something

Embargo is up the 18th or 19th. Conflicting reports.

Ceh, I thought Sony was secretly preparing for another media blowout of inFamous + The Order.

We know that Sony is prepping up some of their marketing machine for Second Son, since they were filming a commercial recently, but they've been silent so far... Better rev that up, Sony.

Thx for the info and good luck to you guys =)

Really? darn it. That's still a bit of a wait :S It's getting boring as of late without any footage of these games

yeah they definitely should go all out with infamous SS. It will help keep them sustain the momentum they have right now

They've toned it down a bit in MLB 13 (and I'd assume MLB 14). They introduced difficulty sliders so if you're great at everything in the game but hitting, you can just turn down the hitting difficulty so things work out better for you.

The difficulty supposedly also ramps up with you as you get better at timing your swings.

It's still hard as hell, but in real life, it's a task where the best people in the world fail roughly 70% of the time, so it's not supposed to be easy either.
 
Is Destination PlayStation anytime soon?

Seems like Sony has a few embargos coming soon. Maybe they will have a bit of a Q1 announcement blitz and show some new stuff.

February 24-28. It's retail only with zero press. But there have been leaks before. Retailers leaked LittleBigPlanet Karting and God of War: Ascension.
 
The event is going to start shortly (we just had lunch). We did get an embargo sheet and we can at least say we're seeing these games (I count 20 games):

So what are the chances that I will be able to pop in my GOW Collections disc and get the Vita versions?
The chances are 0...zero

Are these all the Vita games or all the Vita games with no embargo?

Edit: nvm, you already answered.

oooo Sly collection for Vita? I knew God Of War was coming but not Sly, wonder if Sanzaru is also doing this version.
 
I hope so I can't wait to see how The Show looks on PS4. They are probably the most underrated devs in the industry. I wish Madden looked and played that good.

order embargo is 18th . dont think we have dates on the other embargoes.
 
Man, can't wait to see what else they're showing off. Based on the info here, we know they're seeing:

- inFAMOUS Second Son
- The Order 1886
- MLB 14 The Show (PS4, PS3, & Vita)
- Murasaki Baby
- GoW Collection
- Sly Collection
- Destiny of Spirits
- Invizimals
- No Heroes Allowed, No Puzzles Either

That leaves another 9 or 11 games (depending on how they're counting the 3 versions of MLB 14) being shown that we don't know yet. Color me excited.
