Come on mate, your an aussie. You should be used to it by now :p.
 
I really hope Sony announces some more games, launch window is looking anaemic despite having the launch hype behind it. Gimme a God of War and Uncharted Sony!

GoW and Uncharted won't show up for a while. GoW usually takes 3 years so I don't think we'll see it until 2016. Uncharted is probably a VGA reveal with a holiday 2014 release. I think we'll see one of the new IPs from GG or SSM (I'm leaning GG), MM's new game, LBP3 for PS3/Vita/PS4, some new stuff from The Order, and the MP reveals for inFamous and Shadow Fall.

I hope lbp3 makes it to the PS4, but it likely will be little more than a prettier version of the PS3. I'd buy it day 1 anyway
 
Huh, when you put it like that it almost sounds like Sony could drop the online paywall after a year once they have enough people with enough PS+ games they don't want to lose (and enough of a back catalog to give away easily). I'm sure they won't, since there's no point in doing that unless they announce they're doing it ahead of time. And then, after a year, they'll have Gaikai...
My guess is that the F2P model will largely take care of this for most of us.

Anyway, if SuperStardust PS4 is free for PS+, it'll probably be Euro only. 'tis the way of things, it seems.
Good pt, it could go something like that. Although that would give EU two IGL titles so NA would presumably need something else. Not sure Sony is going to have enough to go around at launch to spread IGL titles around like that regionally.

They need to also be careful not to set up expectations that they can't keep up. Lots of games at launch, and then not lots of games isn't good either. They need to spread things out.

Tbh I had no expectations of free stuff on PS4, I expected it to be more like vita - wait until a year after launch. So anything is a bonus right now
Eh, I think the expectation is already there, created by the pace they've set to date with PS+ on PS3/Vita. It stands to reason that if someone with a PS3 and a PS+ sub buys a PS4, the majority of their play time is going to transfer to the PS4, so naturally they'd want the merit of their PS+ sub to transfer there too.

PS+ didn't get that kind precedent set on the original PSP, so Vita isn't a transfer of the experience, it was more standalone and the expectation didn't exist there yet. Now that PS+ is a more mature service, I think it would be a mistake not to be present in significant fashion at the launch of any new PS hardware.

That would bide me over just fine :D
 
Does anyone know if there will be a spoiler-free thread? I'm going to be in exams tomorrow, and I want to feel surprised just like you guys.

Hopefully it'll have a recording of the stream.
 
Hoping for an October release. But usually these types of releases are around the Thanksgiving holiday in USA. Strangeness if they are not sold out around that time.

- Verendus said launch will be "very soon" and that MS wouldn't be able to react.
- CBoaT came right out and said October in his most recent thread.

All the leaks/hints are pointing towards October, so keep your hopes up!
 
Concerning the development time of PS4 titles. Cerny said that it will now take them 1-2 months to "triangle". Will this have a significant effect on how long it takes to get a title out? Will we see more titles and more variety coming this generation like we did with the PS1 and PS2?
 
A lot of people will know the release date.

Unfortunately it's a lot of people who wear suits, don't blog anonymously on the internet for online kudos, and don't know what a GAF is.
 
Wonder who'll be presenting this time... Probably Jim Ryan. He's a weird chap, lol. I imagine House will be rolled out for PS4 release date.

Imagine the collective gamer silence if/when Andrew House walks out on the stage. The expectation for a release date at this point is at a fever pitch, and Sony has said nothing to dissuade people from being excited.

This has been House's baby. He got announce the name, got to show the console first and now he will probably get to announce the release date.

Hopefully not Andrew House. I like his style but i can't stop staring at his tiny hands, its very distracting

I doubt they could make a proper RPG. It'd be more like an Elder Scrolls game or some action game with light RPG elements probably.

Maybe a collaboration with other studio?

I just think they could create very cool and visually appealing fantasy setting.

Wuld be okay with FPP but they need to make it interesting.
