Take our advice and just wait. He has said a lot of irrelevant crap before.

Besides, it seems more like he is saying hope for the best but expect the worst, if you expect the worst you can't be disappointed. So expect DRM and all that shit on PS4.

You really can't take anything this man says at face value anymore, remember the Polygon review of SimCity and the shitstorm that happened after it when they changed the review score and were defending the DRM in the game? Best to just ignore the guy at this point really.

Advice taken. Will wait and ignore him. Sorry guys, just friggin' nervous as a squirrel at a high heel shoe convention.
 
Looking back, we should have known. Think about it...the whole studio split up not long ago, the leads went to Evolution, which was sort of downsized recently on its own. And they're working on a full game. Lucid probably couldn't do one of their own.

And MS never really competes with itself. I can't imagine they would have PGR and Forza up on the same stage.

My bet on the WOW game for PS4 is Infamous. I believe it is probably very far along and Infamous 2 was beautiful.

Sucker Punch are a small team. InFamous will look good but I doubt it's the game that guy is talking about.

Besides, InFamous 1 and 2 looked a little pooptacular IMO.

E3 started great already.
 
Not trying to derail the thread or anything. Guess I just wanted some positive reinforcement and to be told "hey, brother - it's gonna be ok. fuck that Gies guy." I won't post anything else by him, though.
The issue with him is though that he is basically the personification of Tales from my Ass. He is the majority reason why Polygon has such a bad reputation on this forum.

He predicted that you should be gracious if even 3 games show up at the PS Meeting in February. He said the Xbox One will be as powerful as the PS4 even though the specs said they wouldn't be due to "special sauce" (which is the reason he is not allowed to post here any more.) He said Sim City requires the cloud for complex computation and everyone who doubts EA doesn't know what they are talking about. (Turned out that all it does is push insignificant data between cities in a region.)

If he is right, it's not because he knows anything, it's by pure luck.

Edt: This thread moves so fast, I could have guessed I was going to be LTTP.
 
Something tells me that Sony will disappoint us somewhat in how they handle the used game situation. The pubs may have sony on this by the balls given MS sticking to their guns despite the shitload of criticism it has been receiving.

While used games situation wouldn't bother me (for better or worse) in either event, the lack of requisite internet connectivity is a much deserved plus.

1 was hyperpooptacular but not 2. 2 was amazing looking.
 
Am I the only one who isn't the least bit hyped for Destiny? Probably my least anticipated PS4 game from the Playstation Meeting. I wish they don't spend more than a couple of minutes on it tomorrow.

Couldn't care less about more FPS stuff. Just utterly disinterested. The entire genre needs to rest for a decade like adventure games.
 
Gies knows about as much as my left butt cheek.

Yeah, Gies likes to pretend that he knows what he's talking about but he's full of shit and is the most blatant fanboy in the press.

The fact that there've been no leaks surrounding Sony's used game policy is what gives me hope, as I think we would've heard of that bullshit by now if it were true, given how much other stuff has been leaked. At worst, I think they'll leave it up to the publishers, which is the same position they had this gen and still a hell of a lot better than Microsoft's position (though I've no doubt the press will pretend like they're exactly the same).
 
I've been saying the exact same thing (as have others here) and we have no inside info, just stating our opinions what we think will realistically happen. Gies is probably just doing the same, voicing his opinion. I hate the guy, but I haven't seen where he's indicated he's been told something.

He's doubling down. It's the only logical play he has. If he's wrong, so what? People already hate him and he doesn't have any credibility. If he's right, he gets to act like a smug douche on twitter and pretend he knows more than all the children at gaf who lack his staggering intellect.

Oh who am I kidding... he'll do that last bit wrong or right.

Open world game with dem particle effects going on. Second Son will be a showcase game, no doubt about it.
