I can't play any of these amazing looking games until these indie hacks show me their budget. Can't play anything funded by less than $50,000,000. Come on Sony

 

[Marvel]

I was joking! read the spoiler ffs lol, loved the show.

 

[Mononoke]

Despite the guy on stage reiterating that Sony has not gotten complacent, they most definitely have. What a horrible show.

Sucks that you feel that way. No one wants to own a console and not feel thrilled about the titles coming for it. That said, I disagree and actually thought the conference was pretty amazing. I loved the wide range of titles, and the different variety of game styles.

I guess it's just preference? I mean, I have an X1, and I honestly haven't touched it in months, and feel really let down by what's coming for the rest of 2014. Sunset Overdrive looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not even that excited. But I imagine there are people that feel opposite of me, and that's great.

Hopefully they eventually put out titles you are interested in. *shrugs* I won't say you are wrong, or insult you. I respect your opinion even though I don't agree with it (I don't think they have gotten complacent with their games. I actually feel that Sony is riding off the wave of the last 5 years of PS3, and trying to invest in diverse and interesting titles, rather than focusing on typical AAA blockbuster style games. And that is totally okay with me).

 

[kadotsu]

That was the biggest Gamescom conference I've ever seen. So many new announcements.

But where the guns at?

 

[vypek]

i though we will see some gameplay live of Bloodborn '

They should teasers at the beginning of and after the conference

 

[Micerider]

What's with so many people dismissing games because they are "indie" or smaller budgets? I've had more fun with those type of games in the last two years than AAA.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Justin just gave Nate Fox a weird compliment and it made me uncomfortable.

 

[leadbelly]

Okay, that is the best trailer I have seen for The Order so far. That's not saying much considering the others weren't that great, but it is looking really good.

Graphically it is amazing. The best looking game I have seen full stop.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

No update on Singstar! WTF Sony!

 

[Afrodium]

The indie hate this conference is getting is absurd given that almost all of the indies shown seemed to be fleshed out 3D affairs. Most of the "generic 2D indie garbage" that people complain about was relegated to a montage. If Wild or The Tomorrow Children had a Ubisoft logo at the end I doubt people would be complaining. It's so strange.

 

[Odrion]

It was a nice conference, much better than E3. The continued lack of suspend/resume in the next firmware update makes me think they were lying about that feature.

 

[3bdelilah]

Didn't guerilla games have a new IP to show?

Was excited to see this announcement, disappointing it wasn't there

 

[amnesiac]

Justin just gave Nate Fox a weird compliment and it made me uncomfortable.

Nate was like "I try to look good" then Justin said "Thank you"

wtf?

 

[Sykra]

Pretty bad show from Sony to be honest. Where is Sony first party studio? no Vita supports (Vita lost it's best game actually) and no new real exclusives for PS4.

and again where are all Sony first party studios? the thing that kept PS3 afloat during its early years with great games is no just an story we tell to new kids, if Shu Yoshida is doing nothing (Nothing on Vita and nothing on PS4) then maybe Sony should consider replacing him with a new guy,

What?

 

[Alebrije]

INDIES ar ethe next AAA games

 

[Jomjom]

"Indie" hate has to stop.

I love indies. I mean Transistor is my GOTY so far. But for such a big stage show you gotta balance it out with some big crowdpleasing AAA game announcement too. MS just had the big TR exclusivity announcement and that was enough. Sony needed something like that too.

 

[atr0cious]

The Order still does nothing for me.

Also that downer dude from that E3 has gained some weight since last time. That crunch time.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I wondered if EA announced something like Wild as a new big AAA game, then would people jizz all over it?

 

[ukas]

Thanks goodness. Would be a blessing to relieve this forum of your dire, always-negative comments on the platforms.

I thought it was just me.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Wait so none of Sony 1st Party studio announced a new game ?

 

[daveo42]

Now First Light on the stream. More stuff I missed. This all looks good guys.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

This has to be a joke right?

 

[ghostmind]

thank GOD there wasn't any #Hardline

A little surprised by that, but maybe EA doesn't think Europe is into their cops n' robbers game. Or maybe they are just saving it for their own conference tomorrow.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I love how people are bitching about indies, when indies have been offering the most interesting games for the past three years.

 

[Picobrain]

So do you ignore all the AAA games from 3rd parties? the AAA games sony showed at E3?

I don't get it

They already showed them. That's it. They didn't show anything new. Like Uncharted gameplay trailer or something.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This has to rank as one of your stupidest posts I've read. It's factually wrong. It's like you expect them to announce every game that they have working right now. Even from Japan. And we know TGS is coming. Get a grip.

 

[AstroNut325]

No Planetside 2
No Everyone's Gone to Rapture
No The Last Guardian
No Gravity Rush 2
No Gran Turismo
NO SCEJ AAA RPG
No Sony Bend
ZERO Vita games

WTF did I just watch? I am selling my PS3, Vita and PS4 right now

I would count on most of that being at E3 2015 with 2016 release dates. The lack of vita titles is the only real disappointment. But then again... I'm not surprised. Oh and Last Guardian isn't going to happen. There is only so many times you can take a game back to the drawing board.

 

[Despera]

gotta go fast

 

[Hexa]

No update on Singstar! WTF Sony!

They showed Singstar.

 

[Juz]

So still no release date for GTA?

Bullshit.

 

[hesido]

As a PS4 user, the last two press conferences of MS had me excited much more than Sony's.

 

[Black Mantis]

Some of these troll posts are really annoying.

They absolutely killed it this show. As if someone on a forum who say meh speaks for everyone. They slaughtered it.

Whilst there are troll posts in both the Gamescom threads, I really don't think they did and neither did MS. Both had solid shows and if you own either or both, you'll be happy with your purchase, but killing it? Nope, none of them did.

Whats wrong with letting them work longer on their titles? There is enough content on the PS4 in the next year.

 

[hawk2025]

There is a considerable difference in production values and drawing power which will never go away.

But production values isn't scope (what I had actually mentioned), and "drawing power" isn't game design.

For actual, practical, videogaming purposes, the distinction is nonsense and only does harm to the industry.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Nate was like "I try to look good" then Justin said "Thank you"

wtf?

OH GOD, THE CRINGE

 

[meanspartan]

Despite the guy on stage reiterating that Sony has not gotten complacent, they most definitely have. What a horrible show.

Did we watch the same conference?

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Some of you concerned ppl gotta remember that tgs is right around the corner and Sony can't just blow their load here at gamescom.

+1000

 

[atr0cious]

Breaking news:

Infamous: First Light utilizes the time tested classic Star Fox warp gate mechanic to get around.

Wonder if it will have the full open world of Second Son.

 

[Nightengale]

Are the people who are saying the Xbox showing was better serious?

My sister fell asleep half way through Microsoft's conference.

Because new footage of gameplay of AAA games already announced is better than announcements of new INDIE-ISH games, because indies ARENOTGAEMS BUT NEGATIVEGAEMS.

 

[Dragonborn]

So still no release date for GTA?

Bullshit.

They're waiting till the last moment, making all the other publishers squirm as they wonder when GTA will hit. It'll come out of nowhere...

 

[Alucrid]

Lol I'm sure Yoshida does nothing

Yeah, that's it

Vita is a sinking ship. I know people don't want to hear that, but it's been pretty obvious Sony isn't interested in wasting much time on that.

You are going to need wait until next E3 to see those first party studios.

 

[StoopKid]

Isn't until dawn a brand new AAA game ?

But lemme guess that doesn't count.

 

[sora87]

Such a shame people are still treating smaller games as "not important" or "non-games" still.

 

[GitarooMan]

People have to just stop deluding themselves with the Vita stuff. The platform sells next to nothing in Western markets, major devs have no reason to put any budget into it, Sony is not going to divert major assets into it so they can sell 20,000 copies of a title. It's over, enjoy the smaller/niche titles and the nice hardware (I know I will).

 

[Baroquemantic]

Why is it so important that Sony reveal everything their studios are working on in less than a year of a new console launch. They've shown some of what they're developing, they've shown exclusive games from 3rd parties and indies, timed exclusives, and more. Just because they're not showing everything early doesn't mean they have nothing to show. Y'all mofos are so damn impatient it's ridiculous. They just showed more than games than anyone else, big and small. There's a ridiculous amount of games you'll be able to play.

 

[TetraGenesis]

As a PS4 user, the last two press conferences of MS had me excited much more than Sony's.

Okay.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Wait so none of Sony 1st Party studio announced a new game ?

question. Do they need to?

10 million worldwide and its not slowing down.

Why blow it all at gamescom?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

As a PS4 owner, they brought the games as usual. They absolutely killed it. Unless somehow you don't like good games with variety.
