It's time for GopherD or Verendus to tease us with something. Too many people are losing their way.
Sony's Gamescom Media Briefing On "Release Plans for PlayStation 4"
- Thread starter Jonboy
- Start date
I highly doubt that the PS4 will have trouble selling will based on the pre-orders alone. It's not like the Wii U (no 3rd party support/slow exclusive start) or the Vita (has games but not a lot of 3rd party support right now and "AAA" exclusives and other problems). There's tons of games in development for the PS4 and we already know it's going to get multi-plats along with the Xbox one.

You think studio like gg, ssm, and nd who all have at least two years time working on their stuff will have problem like tlg? On a console that's been tauted as easy to develop no less.
My point was...don't show until you are ready.

I think the line up is strong.
I love Killzone, I think Shadow Fall looks awesome, I can't wait to see the multiplayer
DriveClub should look great by release
Console gamers are in for a treat with BF4 at 60 FPS and 64 player support
Then we have all the indie and free 2 play titles
I mean they are launching a new system which they invested millions of dollars into....let them launch the system and those games, then they can talk about the future during VGA 2014, GDC or E3 2014

You have Infamous in Q1 next year and an abundance of third party stuff (maybe even The Order).

Maybe. I think we will get another big Launch Window game. As in before March type game. Maybe a big January release. I just don't see another big retail game at launch. Like Mik Pad said I could definitely see more PSN games at launch like a HouseMarque game.

Well, I just hope that PS4 isn't going to have a serious drought of titles comes early 2014.
All we friggin have thus far is Infamous.
What else do they have planned?
I seriously doubt The Order is early 2014. Likely later summer or early fall.

And I think it's hard to imagine those studio dont have stuff ready to show, unless there are really something's wrong going on. It's pretty weird for sony to show the order with just cutscene, not even talking about gameplay at all, and from interviews, seems like very early in development.
Gametrailers live video player supports replaying of old content. If you catch their post-show, you will be able to move the position of the player to the -2hr state and see everything.

the Killzone twitter page is getting bombarded with questions now lol
The launch line up for the PS4 isn't just made up of those three exclusives, you know.
It's better to give some exclusives breathing space instead of throwing them in with the rest as well as all the third party games at launch. Yes, the PS4 is going to get plenty of third party games, but if Sony blew their load at launch they'd personally have nothing to show for a good while - which would be perceived poorly.
What's happened to the 20 games ?
I know people have different opinion on when to show stuff, but if its 20 games in the first year then I simply don't believe that these titles are not ready to show.
People in here may want to act like people are asking for stuff to be shown well in advance, but we are meant to believe we are getting 20 titles in the next 14 months, and we really haven't seen much at all.

Comments like this aren't helping your argument, so just stop.
I *love* the PS4 lineup. Totally.
If you think it is a shitty lineup (as usual, a bit of respect is appreciated ...) just wait 1-2 years.Easy enough.
I can't wait to play Killzone and DriveClub !

Can you point me to an interview where this was said? I think I totally missed or my brain refused to believe that it's early in dev.

If the PS4 releases Oct 21 with a handful of retail games and a good number of PSN and F2P games, are people really going to cancel their preorder for fear of STARVING for content for a week or two waiting for the big November third party titles?

The whole conference will be posted on Playstation's youtube page after the conference.

It means the tech is in development. The PS3 devs are jumping from dx9 era tech to dx11 era tech. They have to show something substantial to make people say "wow" othwise people will call PS4 a PS3.5 and it will hurt it's image.
I mean look at how bad the launch games looked at e3. Pop ups galore, missing effects etc. The devs just got the final sdk's last month I believe
It'll probably be on the Sony youtube

Loads of downloadable titles are out early next year, quite a few third party games and I wouldn't be surprised if an exclusive for early next year is announced tomorrow.
The Order has been worked on since 2010 hasn't it? It could be an April release?

If Sony are apparently pulling stuff from the conference then it's not because 'it's not ready' to be shown, it's a strategical decision.
And for me, it's a bad one. Because I need more new stuff, not more of the same.
I think my opinion is pretty fair.

They will announce the date and no one will care no games get shown.

/well, I hope you are right, but I am not too optimistic.
No - it isn't. They showed Agent, The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy Versus 13 too soon and what now? Vaporware, ??? and complete rebrand and a lost exclusive.

I don't think we'll see 20 in the first year, but we'll hear about several tomorrow and more at TGS/the Spike awards.
We'll probably even see stuff at E3 next year, nowadays showing all you have early is bad.
Thanks for clearing that up. Has there been a Gamescom where Sony announced nothing new though?

I know I'm probably alone thinking this, but sometimes I get the feeling people here (GAF in general) don't play games anymore. They just like to talk about games.
The PS4 has about 15 titles announced and expected for this year alone.
But people don't seem to care. They always want something new.
Even if they have not played what is already announced... they always want something new, because otherwise, the console is going to suck.
It's kinda ridiculous.
If the Xbone does not annouce more exclusives, it's gonna bomb.
If sony does not announce anything new, they will bomb.
All I know is that the PS4 already has enough games this year to get myself to start a new backlog and that's somthing I'll try to avoid... Even if I somehow managed to finish my PS3 & Vita Backlogs (Not gonna happen lol!).

They will have new games there..count on it. It's a matter how many new PS4 titles they will unveil and I think 2 is the perfect amount. No need to go crazy with the reveals at this point. TGS, and later on VGAs will give more opportunities. What's important is to not have any droughts in the launch window..way more so than the day 1 releases

That's completely understandable, but as Sony have got it right so far I'm optimistic.

So what time is the show tomorrow?

They will announce at least one new PS4 game tomorrow.
After presenting the release date and release territories, they will close off the show by showing a new PS4 exclusive that will be so amazing that we will be able to hear on the livestream so many jaws dropping to the floor among the audience.
This is pure speculation and hope

Sony announces shitton new of stuff on Gamescom every year, and they always livestream it.

Sony have 20 titles in development for 2014, those games should be in a state where you can show it to people. also TLoU is revealed more than 1 year ahead from the release date, many other games usually have that 1 year head start from reveal to release date, so unless Sony is going to announce games and release it in a month or two after announcement, we should be hearing about those 20 titles now, especially the ones for first half of 2014

I'm not demanding they show something that's due several years in the future.
There's bound to be a handful of games further along enough to have a 2014 release window, how about we see a couple of those.
Well that's lucky - because we have Gamescom, TGS, VGAs and GDC early next year. I don't understand the problem.

If they show content comparable to this, then I'll be very happy.
The claims that Sony have pulled content is what worries me.

I would rather them work on finishing games than satiating your needs.

I'm pretty sure those games were NOT in active development when they were first mentioned by Sony and you should never do something like that.

What's with all this talk about Sony having nothing to show?
Didn't our insiders say it was going to be bigger than E3 game-wise?

I just want some new IP's shown. I think most of NEOGAF would be more excited for new IP than sequels. I just hope these additional teams at Sony can deliver that in a timely fashion.
