I keep hearing quotes from Cerny about how great the PS4 is going to be and how similar it's going to be to the PS1 in terms of game library and development, but until they actually prove it I'm not buying into anything he's saying. Because 90% of the games announced for the PS4 seem to be the same variety of AAA (in terms of budget) western games with bloated development costs that are mainly FPS and open-world sandbox games.
Ahaha someone actually made this. I remember we were joking about it. That's freaking awesome.
If we get another
Suikoden
Vandal Hearts
Azure Dreams
Psychic Force
Legend of Dragoon
Destruction Derby
South Park rally (yes it was a good game >.<)
KKND
Star Ocean
Legend of Legaia
Wild Arms
Grandia
Breath of Fire
Alundra
Arc the Lad
Lunar
then i would be more than just stoked and would call it a PS1 era
The gamepad and kinect don't add anything significant to core gaming at all.Yes plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, man I miss those RPGs
Personally I think MS & Ninty have the 1 up on diversity due to the their available controls, wish Sony didn't axe the camera from the SKU just for those initial sales. So much potential wasted.
It establishes partnerships with University courses at the cutting edge of videogame technology, game development, computer science and research, and aids SCEs overall goal of supporting Indie developers and established studios by fostering the next generation of PlayStation savvy developers.
PlayStationFirst is now actively seeking Expression of Interests from Universities interested in the Academic Dev Kit Programme and PS Vita game development. PS Vita is the system that is most closely integrated with PS4 and an essential part of the connected experience to create and innovate on PlayStation platforms.
The next generation of Indie developers are now in education
and PlayStationFirst is at the forefront of enabling students to gain future-fit skills for PlayStation console development by providing access to real professional tools
In what way? Or are you just trollin'?
I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe it's not that they're poorly advertised but that to some people JRPGs look the same? I know personally of people who think that just because the artwork is based on manga/anime styles that they think the stories are all the same. Like when people say that Ni no Kuni and Tales of Vesperia are one and the same just because it's the same "animu" artwork. Ugh. Frustrating.

Same here, I don't get all the negative comments it seems to be getting.
They had IPs that interested me, which is more than I can say about the PS3.
That's a bold promise. I have fond memories of the PS1 era. Things were plenty diverse. The question is will PS4 owners accept that diversity today. Will developers be willing to be satisfied with working within limited budgets and be accepting of only modest sales. To have that diversity not all titles will be million sellers. Titles have to stop needing several million sales just to break even.
PC has rekindled it. Or has become the home platform for that movement.
But PS4 is the console that looks to most leverage that work, and that's great. It might even be, voluntarily, a 'first'/home platform for some indies, but PC will still be the starting point for the bigger majority I think.
I'm not sure how big indie PC development is in Japan, though? Maybe a console like PS4 could actually help start a new approach there, vs riding on the coat tails a movement already in force on another platform.
Out of all of the IPs they released on PS3, not a single one interested you?
.
Also, even if that is the case, i don't see how that means they're "meh" now
The share button is going to have a huge impact here. It's going to really help the better indie titles rise to the surface. This has been happening a lot on PC. It was a youtube video of someone playing Surgeon Simulator 2013 that got me to buy it, for example. I hope there is a way for people to record voice at the same time as gameplay on PS4. It's going to really help word of mouth.
I love what he is saying but don't see it happening. I just see publishers as the ones who will kill diversity. Until I see more games in the 29.99-49.99 dollar range I just don't see it happening. Indy games are ok but are not going to be solution to make gaming like it was during the PS1 era. It will be the return of the B-tier game that has been killed by 59.99 pricing.
Indeed we do.
Damn, Cerny would make a great cult leader. His soothing voice would convert everyone.
Promise us JRPGs and 3D platformers.

I feel like Sony is telling what gamers want to hear since E3. Not gonna believe until i see games in development.

So if something like that came out, it would automatically be negated because it's download only?
I don't get this logic.
Holy shit I just find out Level 5 is making Ni no Kuni 2 for PS4, I discovered it after I was wondering what is Level 5 is doing now so I looked it up on google and ta da they are making Ni no Kuni 2 ^_^
Did anyone knew about that?
Well, the Wii U is playing the part of Nintendo 64 just fine so I don't see why not.

Diversity of the PSX era?
Syphon Filter
Medievil
WipEout
Destruction Derby
Crash Bandicoot
Where did you see/hear this? News to me.
I get the impression Sony's constant talk of indie developers is more about reflecting the changes done internally at the company as opposed to suggesting indie devs being a selling point for the hardware (take the Vita, for example). It's great that these small developers are getting better support now, but its not something that really entices me to spend hundreds on a box, Sony. I'm actually part of the contingent that wants to hear about polygon count and console features.
