Amazing Vita announcements. I can't wait to play all of them. On Vita, a Sony Playstation platform.

 

[KnightHart]

What is a Vita we don't even know what this is anymore. Do you mean Playstation TV?

 

[loaf of bread]

How can anyone say that was a bad conference. That was literally the best Gamescom conference I've ever seen from anyone. SO many new announcements and games and exclusives.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

All we got was VITATV and 1 announcement on a crossbuy game for Vita. SONY PLS

 

[Neuromancer]

So, no new info about Morpheus?

 

[demosthenes]

Great showing tonight. Lots of new games. Shame the new GG IP wasn't shown though...

Either GG and MM are being horribly mis managed right now or Sony saw 10 million console sales, and thought if the games aren't ready, no need to show them.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

No Uncharted 4?????

 

[WooHooAlex]

Loved that conference. Well paced, some amazing looking titles and some cool announcements.

 

[Navid]

Way beyond what I expected them to announce and show at the event, really knocked it out of the park for me in terms of variety of games shown... Enjoyed that even more than their E3 conference.

 

[Megasoum]

Nothing on GTA? Blehhhhhh

 

[atr0cious]

Why?

I end up not playing the PS+ games anyhow, even when they are free.

Because these games are fresh 'experiences.' How many games even had a gun in this presentation? I don't have a PS4, but Tearaway Unfolded made me wish I had one. The more AAA looking games look like rote run of the mill rehashes, but most of the games presented weren't that.

Also, this conference really highlighted how old and stale live stage presentations are. The empty gaps to wait for non-existent applause were really annoying. These conference writers should take the SNL route and not expect anyone to laugh, because that shit was embarrassing. Not CoDAW bad, but it stunk of self congratulations, even though some was earned.

 

[GitarooMan]

No Vita????????

The sooner you accept Vita is dead in a press conference/major developer sense the sooner you can move on.

 

[Spaghetti]

nice variety, much more enjoyable than the ms conference due to the number of new titles.

 

[bigboss370]

geez...people are bringing up no TLG show? that game is too big for this, its unveiling will be at an E3.


anyways, downloading P.T. right now

 

[Fergie]

That was only going to ever get realistically announced at TGS or E3, just like with Resident Evil games or Vita.

Not holding my breath, but TGS is next month.

Just let it go.

 

[_woLf]

I love how the only time the word Vita was used was in the same sentence as "we gave up".

Fitting, really.

 

[Hamlet]

Pretty good conference no fluff and Lots and lots of games

 

[Ceallach]

RIP Vita

 

[Marc]

Oh my...

That last game is a killer, it looks absolutely brilliant.


Not really much in the way of AAA from Sony but they got that steady stream of 'smaller' games to cover them until they are ready I guess. I expected a few games announcements but that was a lot for gamescom, had me more excited than e3. Rime and Wild did it for me. Alienation looks interesting but seems at odds with HellDivers (when is that out btw!!!), still I am sure I'll love it but Rime and Wild are another level.

 

[Furyous]

I was on a phone call and missed the information about Wild. What's it about?

What am I going to do with all THESE GAMES? These games aren't first-person shooters, cover-based shooters. NAAAAAAH! Look the variety of games. Sony came with quality titles for every possible customer.

Somebody hold me as I just look at these riches and wonder WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THESE GAMES?

 

[Ravage]

Wild looks amazing :O

 

[Tizoc]

That's it? It's over?

 

[Phear]

So, still nothing from Santa Monica... Despite that, awesome Press conference!

 

[Chaos17]

This is the only game I want.

 

[Christhor]

My god, it's impressive how many indie games they can fit into one conference. Blech.

 

[FairXchange]

Shit show like Microsoft's. Nothing of interest announced unless you love indie splurges. I do not.

How can you discriminate on what legitimately look like innovative, and inventive new games?

 

[todd360]

Didn't they say there would be blood borne gameplay? I was thinking they' were gonna end with that.

 

[Larogue]

too much focus on indies, not much on games that matters.

Microsoft did better.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Hey guys, I missed the entire conference so could someone summarise it for me? Or point me in the direction of a summary?

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Really enjoyed the conference. Except for the parts on Destiny and Driveclub.

Looks like I have to get a PS4 soon, hopefully by the end of the year.

Wild and Rime looks great. Surprised and happy by Tearaway (my Vita version remains unplayed, sitting in the PSN server, waiting to be downloaded).

[bryanee]

Fantastic show, better than both the last two e3's and last years Gamescom.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Great conference but the whole thing felt like it was crescendoing to something and it just dropped at the end. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Which is too bad because they really did nail it.

 

[Lain]

Apart from the disappointment in regards to Vita, great conference. Lots of interesting games shown that will make me consider a PS4 sooner than expected. Wild, Rime, Tomorrow Children, to name just 3, looked so damn nice, stuff I want to play.

 

[Afrikan]

Looks like a PS2 game :V
...but it is an interested PS2-looking game.

what kind of ancient device are you watching the stream on?

 

[JetSetRadio]

vita? lol

 

[Smiles and Cries]

How the hell did nobody know about MIchel Ancel leaving Ubisoft last year ?!

I forgot that was a thing

 

[CronoShot]

On the plus side, they did show a ton of games. No filler, just one after another. Some of them looked fairly interesting.

On the bad side, no big reveals. And frankly, none of the games outside of Bloodborne made me really excited.

Better than E3, but could have been better still.

 

[meppi]

Well that was damn impressive!
Lots of new stuff and surprise announcements.

I really hope that they can do the same for TGS with tons of great Japanese support.

 

[ArjanN]

No GTA V except a second or two in a montage....

Thank god, who wants to see that in a conference. It's just going to be the same thing with slightly nicer graphics.

 

[Raxus]

Tokyo Games Show for sure man.

Rotting corpses tend to be found in their homes.

 

[Pancho]

Was only able to catch the last minutes of the conferenc.Is the conference up anywhere?

 

[Duxxy3]

After bloodborne, it was a shitload of smaller games. If smaller games are the ones you love, then you would have loved that conference.

 

[BeforeU]

Can we agree, there wasn't anything mindblowing in there? Was really hoping to see more Order and new GG IP. Also GTA 5 release date

 

[GalacticToast]

Sorry Sony, but that conference was terrible. Couple good games, but MS wins this round. Nothing with Vita? Come on...

Terrible? Lol. What the conference were you watching?

 

[UrbanRats]

WILD looks like the game i've been dreaming of since i first played with a SNES.

I'm trying to wrap my head around it still.

 

[Kimo]

VITA

 

[Final Verdict]

Lots of really really cool and interesting games shown, but no showstoppers.

 

[KingJolly]

You guys can bet your ass Gravity Rush 2 is coming to PS4

 

[shinobi602]

No GG new IP?

Guess they saw 10 million and didn't have to blow all their big guns.

Full reveal for Guerrilla's game will be at E3.

We still didn't see GG or Sony bend, maybe tgs

You won't see Bend this year.
