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

Well, Microsoft just announced FIFA 14 bundled with every pre-order. Let's see if Sony will tackle that somehow.

That's actually pretty huge news and also curious to see how Sony handles it yes, it's a pretty underwhelming conference. I'm really afraid Sony is going to have an underwhelming conference as well. Just hope it's not true. I'm waking up 5am in the morning just to watch it so it better not be underwhelming.

Why would they? Their preorder stock is sold out almost everywhere. Also most people who preordered PS4 probably have PS+ subscription and will get Driveclub day 1.

I just need a release date from Sony, and hopefully one that's late October or early November.

That's a point. Ah, as long as Sony shows a couple new games I'm fine. I hope they don't disappoint like Microsoft's presser, which was basically "Money Hat: The Conference".
 
Interesting note is that NFS Rivals is listed as a Xbox One launch game and that isn't scheduled to be released until November 19th.
And so is Watch Dogs(?)
If Sony could get a month lead that would be good news, when there's no consoles left in the stores in launch day people may just decide to buy the PS4 instead.
 
But like many people said.

Buy and Xbox One and play FIFA14 in 2014 for more money
Or buy a PS4 with FIFA14 and play in 2013 for less money ?

Its a decent move on behalf of microsoft, but as an european this is not making me want an xbox one.
I would like to see some vids of Fable legends, that would make me pre order an xbox.

With betterer grafix
:D

This is what some were speculating about. Sony would get their console out early and have the second shipment ready to go around the time that the Xbox One launches. Of course they're going to need make sure that they have another batch ready for Black Friday as well.
 
If the October rumors turn out to be true, PS4 getting virtual exclusivity for half a month on COD Ghosts over the Xbone will be huge.
 
But Ghosts will only be released in november.

Yeah, but the confirmed Xbone launch lineup heavily implies that the system will be launching at late November, whereas Ghosts comes out at the beginning of the month.

PS4 releasing a tad before the COD release date also makes it easier for more people to buy the console just before the game is out.
 
If ps4 launch is oct, I trust in CBoat, do people think fifa and cod will come out on ps4 before the xbone is launched or will the publishers hold it back?

I dont play either of these games personally so i dont care, but if ps4 does get them early i know many of my casual friends will grab a ps4 just to get hold of the newer version of their games asap..making MS moneyhatting pretty pointless from thier perspective

They will give us a launch date, and if it's October, that will already be big enough news to crush MS conference.
 
some things that we've had hints about earlier but have yet to be revealed, we'll see in a few hours if they see the light of day in gamescom.

  • Obviously some PS4 features have yet to be revealed, it's going to be interesting to see how the touchpad and the lightbar are used in-game. The War Thunder devs have mentioned they'll use PS4 for head-tracking. When asked how they would use each platform for The Witcher 3 CD Projekt RED mentioned in an interview, around post-ps-meeting time that they believed sony hadn't shown all of their their controller potential (or something along those lines) yet. They still haven't done so.
  • We still haven't seen any of the 1st party F2P games, unless driveclub is a semi-botched attempt at that.
  • That heavily hinted jumbo-sized 3rd party exclusive (is it another game besides agent? is agent even exclusive or going the versus way?)
  • Helldivers

    This is just straight fanboy tinfoil hatting, could we see a Quantic Dream/ Media Molecule collaboration?

    Gotta "wake up" in two hours for work.
 
I'm still upset over PvZ: Garden Warfare. I don't know why, but that really pissed me off.

Dude we will just vote them worst company again.
Its these kind of things that gives them bad rep.
They still dont understand it and are still money hungry.
I thought hey said they where going to cater the gamers more......
 
Pointlessly hoping for great things a la Vita pricedrop/redesign etc. or huge game announcements for Vita or PS4 that will make me want to buy one etc.

but in the end, reason tells me that they're probably just gonna come out there and announce the PS4 release date and how they are going to continue working hard to bring their fans great entertainment on PS4, PS3 and Vita or some PR crap along these lines, show a couple "trailers" of existing games and call it a day lol :(((
 
wow cant believe but sony are getting destroyed by microsoft so far at gamescom.
