Sony's Gamescom Media Briefing On "Release Plans for PlayStation 4"

I'm not really an online fps guy and none of my friends play kz which is the only reason i play those games online and i don't really like most driving. I like them much more arcadey. Platformers, rpgs, and action games are much more my thing.

DriveClub is an arcade racer though. Unless you mean Mario Kart kind of arcade racing. Which reminds me, we need a new Diddy Kart Racing. Enough of Mario Kart!
 
Good morning! I just woke up and it's press conference day! :)

One hour left until Microsoft kicks off the day, 10 hours left until Sony ends the day! :D
 
Sony expects to sell everything they could send to the stores but, at least for me, it won't make any sense to keep all the games under warps because they should not only want to sell everything they have but rise the expectations and the need to have that console.

It's like Wii the past gen. It was sold out in every store during the first holidays, but people really want one of those, they did not want another console.
If Sony keep on with the game announcements could do that. To make the people want only a PS4, not a next gen console.
 
9 hours 40 mins till the Sony stream.......HYYYYPPPEEEEEEEE

I've literally been awake all night, can't sleep. Tried to play some BF3 but keep refreshing GAF incase there is any new news.

THE WAIT IS KILLING ME :(

I'm confused with the verandus post in the OP. is he saying they will announce the release date at the conference as expected or that its been delayed by 1 week so we won't hear about it till next week?
 
Thanks for the explanation. Mort, go out on a limb here, if you were told there would be 1 unannounced AAA exclusive PS4 title announced tomorrow, what would be your guess as to what that would be?




*Also, does anyone know a Gamescom stream that will allow me to view in 240p? (my internet is horrid)

I believe that Gametrailers automatically drops the res if you have a terrible connection

The OP was made on August 16th, which was last week. Him saying Sony will announce the release date next week, means this week at gamescom during their conference.

Buy...

NFS if you want unrealistic but thrilling break neck speed racing carnage through populated tracks and streets.

DriveClub if you want to race exotic supercars around the world in realistic vast open tracks, with huge draw distances and open landscapes.

Why not both?
 
From what I have seen, I would not put Knack in the same gameplay category as Mario 64. There seems to be no real platforming or skill in traversing levels to be involved. Looks more like a simple brawler to me.

I think there will be lots of puzzles to solve using his absorb ability. All we've been shown so far is the fighting mechanics.
 
I want most of the fall ps3 games on the ps4 as well but they are just flat out likely to make more money on the ps3. And Sony's games division is 7th out 8 divisions in profit. So they unfortunately had to go for short term gains even if that software may have established them better market share for next gen. They need money NOW.
Money's a good incentive! And of course lots of posters have brought up the goodwill garnered, implying this level of support to PS4's later years. But I think there's another good reason, which I haven't really seen mentioned:

Putting out big PS3 games this year competes directly with Nintendo. WiiU is mostly pursuing a different, more cost-sensitive consumer than the next-gen heavies. A slate of big, attractive titles for their cheaper last-gen console is Sony's most direct possible attack. A Nintendo price cut could make PS4 seem boutique...but it'll never catch up to PS3.
 
Twice a decade someone knows where my username is from. Kudos. Mr show is the best.


Sony's argument (not mine, mind you... As I want all the games now) is that if they are projecting to sell out all their stock through the fiscal year that there isn't anything they can do to make that better. They have hit the ceiling. And while the story of LOL No Gamez may become a fanboy battle cry around here it still won't stop the system from selling. And as long as they start announcing new games by the time the system launch hype winds down they will be fine. If they announce uncharted 4 right now or in December it's not going to change nov-march in any way, shape or form. So what's the incentive to do it now?

that makes good business sense however there is another factor to be considered. There are a percentage of undecided console buyers at the moment that are looking at the list of exclusives on each platform and deciding which system to get. a lot of people believe the xbone currently has the best exclusives and will possible buy one of those instead. Sony will sell out of their launch stock either way but they have an opportunity to get the undecided to commit to ps4 now even if they can't get a launch unit.

Release date aside, am I the only who doesn't expect mind blowing announcements today? Relax guys, keep your expectations in check.
 
You know what you need to do...

The early bird gets the worm.

I'm expecting:

- Release date
- OS demo
- Bundles
- New indie (vita/ps4)
- Demos or videos from games already shown (kz mp, etc...)
 
Ok last retort on sony holding back info and then I'm putting my phone down and going to sleep (probably).


I agree with all of you that Sony could win some hearts and minds during this launch window by showing more games. I agree there will be fence sitters that will decide that the promise of halo is enough and buy a xbox 1. But the problem with this line of thinking is that there just isn't enough of those people.


Sony will be much better served if they can keep the hype going. Right? I mean you guys don't want to see the same old games tomorrow... you want new stuff. But if you show off new stuff now what do you show at TGS? What do you show at the Vgas? What do you show at gdc? What do you show at e3? It will all be retreads of games they revealed far Tok early and everyone will be upset that there aren't being new games shown.


Likewise if they give us something here... let's say guerrilla's new IP... and then new demons souls at TGS. And then uncharted at the Vgas. And then SSM'S game at gdc... And then Agent and GT6 and other shit we can't imagine at e3... the hype doesn't stop. That's the plan. This is a long, long generation. You don't want to just drop a ton of info and then go 2/3 of a year just talking about it over and over.


Alright I'm off to bed maybe.
 
That be our daily motto
I feel like their is an unfair myth sorounding the Vita by saying it has no games, thats actually not true, the Vita has a lot of games from different genres. I am also sure Sony has stuff planned for it, i think the reason it isnt doing so hot is because of the price and the propitiatory memory cards, also add the fact that Nintendo has been able to secure Monster Hunter and a host of other nostalgia games to beef the 3DS identity, its really hard for Sony to compete in a handheld market that has seen some of its market share taken by Tablet and Smartphones
 
My favorite footage of that was when they showed the crowd and people were standing up and cheering and you see Hip Hop Gamer in the middle of it screaming his fucking head off holding up that wrestling belt. It's absurd and awesome all at once.

Yeah, that was an awesome moment. People even started chanting Sony's name, and that NEVER happens at E3 press conferences.
