No I'm fixated on getting something other than TLG, I want something new. TLG will be re-unveiled soon or later (except if it gets cancelled, but there is no evidence for that)
Who says that another game other than TLG can't be a "masterpiece" too?

TLG is new. It is not a sequel. It has not been presented through a demo. The only thing we have seen is a 5 years old trailer, literally. Who knows what the game looks like now? Who knows how it plays?
 
I will also guess that the Uncharted trilogy will be announced and released in first half of 2015.
I'd assume an Uncharted trilogy would launch July / August time to allow for more development time but also to position it as a nice title to cover the summer lull and spread awareness of UC4 (which likely launches November). Either way Sony has a chance to release a great collection here, slick menu interfaces, a 60fps bump and improved IQ. That's the minimum that such a collection deserves. For newcomers it will be glorious.
 
TLG has become more about what it means to Sony than what it is. The jokes about its death play into a narrative about Sony's inability to deliver on a timely fashion, the state of Japanese development, etc. The constant interviews checking in on its existence with no sign of the game, it's like the industry's version of Castro.

When it's actually shown, none of that is going to be a factor, unless it's being made in the West anyway. The game itself isn't a big deal. The day after its announcement there'll be a few threads 'Ten years for that?', 'Not even Ueda's game at this point', 'TLG is dead, LOL' or whatever.

People frequently mention the concept that games (or anything really), can't live up to the hype of prolonged development. And while I disagree with that notion, TLG is an interesting example, because I don't think the hype ever really existed based on what the game actually was to begin with.

Ultimately, we will see. I don't believe it will be a big deal, no.
This is so damn accurate, damn.
 
Have you seen U4's teaser, bro?

I beg to differ :)

At 60 fps and full 1920*1080 render? sorry but no, unless ND changed their target to 30 it won't look better than The Order :)
 
StuBurns is in a bad mood again. Anyone saying a The Last Guardian reveal wouldn't be a huge megaton is just being deliberatedly contrarian to stir shit up.

It's like saying HL3 isn't a megaton for PC players because the last one came out too long ago and everyone has forgot about it. Silly.

It's still a game that we know exists, we have (gameplay) information and old screenshots/a trailer so we have an idea of what it's trying to be. That the game has changed, while not being something unimaginable, is complete speculation.

If you think that you will have a bigger thing than TLG at PS experience get ready to be disappointed....
This is completely subjective though, I could name up enough things that would be bigger for me than TLG.
 
Potential megaton...

Sony buys the rights to all future Burger King games. This includes a remastered release of Sneak King only on Playstation.

It will. Naughty Dog houses Sony's ICE team and they have more talented people than RAD and they have more experience and time work the ps4 than RAD

HL2 sold twenty million copies. Don't be absurd.

ICE team is also collaborating with RAD on this engine, ND is working on the same hardware and they are not magicians, they are releasing a game at the same year as RAD with double the frame rate and at higher resolution, it won't look better and we are gonna hopefully see than in 7 days.
 
I think his point was the game itself is not a big deal (which is subjective), but the story of its development is a big deal.

Which makes no sense, because that means the game itself has become a big deal.

It's like saying 'everyone is interested in the new Star Wars film just because it's a new Star Wars film, not because they think the film itself will be good, so that means the new Star Wars film is not a big deal.'

July/August is too close to UC4 release if UC releases in October/November period.

No, because the forty year drama over if Lucas will go through with the sequel trilogy is irrelevant. That issue was cleared up three years ago when Disney bought the IP and announced the films. Now all anyone cares about is if The Force Awakens is good or not.

The drama over TLG isn't resolved whatsoever. It will be the day they show the trailer, confirm the team making it and announce the release date. After that, the only thing that matters is how many people want a next-gen Ico, and it's not going to be many.

You know I was exaggerating with Star Wars but I see what you are saying.

Instead of saying TLG is not a big deal then, you should have just said 'I don't think it will sell as well as the hype', which would actually be reasonable.

3 months is fine. That's 1/4 a year and more than enough time to complete 3 campaigns that maybe total 30 hrs max. It's also acts as a marketing push, release when few other games will be out and get exposure in the months directly before the launch of the latest entry.

I don't see why really. TLG is the product. As Star Wars The Force Awakens is, not the existence of an old treatment and whispers of a sequel, and not shots of Ueda at the office or a tweet of him wearing Oculus Rift.

All of this is dependent on what TLG is however. I'm saying it won't be a big deal while being under the impression that it'll be a prettier version of what it was. If it's become an open world RPG or a full blown fifty hour long Zelda clone or something, then none of this stands.
So your only angle is the sales figures? I don't know what point you're trying to drive home anymore...
I'm not trying to drive home anything, I'm only responding to people responding to me. I really don't care if people agree with me or not, and no, it's not just about sales. It's about popularity, even within the very core audience. HL is hugely more popular. And if you want to talk pure GAF hype, please, feel free to make note of the page count for the TLG reveal and compare to the HL3 one. I'm very confident about the results.

That is a moot point. Nobody expected TLG to be a sales powerhouse. Those who have been anticipating it do so because of the resume of its progenitor...
 
1st? This is a yearly thing now? I thought it was just for the 20th anniversary. Cool.

They certainly wanna see how the audience reacts and how the general event goes, both to celebrate the anniversary and obviously see if it's something people wanna see every year.
Which could actually work, I mean Blizzard is having their own convention and a bunch of other developers/pubs as well.
 
I forgot they got John Drake.

Fully expect full on hype events like this a lot with him involved. He did so much magic at Harmonix. I used to get so hyped for the littlest things and it always paid off. He has a certain something that Sony is very lucky to have.

February 2015 and holiday 2015 is far apart. ND has more experience with the hardware and have waaay more talented staff
 
If anyone knows the exclusive and wants to PM what it is I'll keep it secret;) I just want to know now!

This next week is super hype! Hopefully MS announce their rumoured event too.. and Nintendo will hopefully do a direct at some point.
 
Even selling terribly for GT, GT6 sold 3M. MK8, on a platform that's had trouble selling, sold 3M as well. I don't think the genre is that dead.

I hope you're not using the forbidden numbers? They're probably undertracking GT as always. Also, GT6 came out *after* PS4 had released, it just didn't make sense. GT7 on PS4 should return the series to glory as long as it's still good
 
UC4 is trying something so different visually.

If you look at The Order, it's all about this post-processing heavy, dense atmosphere. Tons and tons of the transparencies and things. And they're targeting 4xMSAA, an absolutely absurd framebuffer for PS4's GPU really.

UC4 is going to be about vibrancy, clarity, fluidity. It's goals are so different, that making any sort of one to one comparison is going to be difficult. However, it's worth noting that ND includes ICE, they literally have a head-start that is unlike any other studio.

Yes, but they are targeting 60 FPS with full HD resolution, it's practically demands 2 times more the hardware in order to do so, I don't see them surpass The Order by more than 2 times even with all the talent in the world, they are working on the same hardware at the end of the day.

RAD are also very talented, let's say ND are capable of getting 30-50% more from the hardware than RAD, but more than 100%? just no way, it will look great and be the best looking 60 FPS game by far and maybe even for the entire gen or at least until next ND 60 fps title, but not better looking than 30 fps games made by extremely talented devs such as RAD.
