Sony Planning “Some Intriguing Game Announcements” This Week

This close to E3, I don't really get why Sony would announce new games now. Unless they simply haven't got enough time to cover everything in their conference.

Still, I'm excited. I hope there's some good stuff on the way. It's about time Gravity Rush 2 and Jumping Flash! 3 were made known to the public. Save The Last Guardian for the 10th next month.
 
If SONY announce GTA 5 exclusive to ps4 for next gen only, then I think MS will struggle to even come close to something like that( IMO).



SAME if MS got GTA V exclusive for the Nextbox for next gen.

I personally think it won't be a big deal. If GTA5 comes out on PS3/360 first, GTA5 coming on nextgen will be old news and people will want to see newer games.
 
In the Sony E3 Conference thread, someone said that DriveClub is confirmed as a PS4 launch title. I agree with you though, if GT6 is confirmed for release this Fall then DC needs to be delayed big time.

What would be the point of delaying Drive Club? Doesn´t Sony want to sell their new system?
 
We're not completely sure right now. There was one retailer that also had it listed as a PS4 title.

I have been trying to find the source for this for a while, my Google skills are actually quite good. I still cant find this retailer listing. Source please, or did you just assume this cause I hate when people do this.

Yea I can see that happening but if SONY/ Rockstar ( or MS if they do this) properly market the game and make it seem like it is worth the upgrade as well as maybe having a discount for those who already have the game ( copy saves over too) I think it could be.

GTA is the type of game you can play for quite a long time ( plus V seems to have a tonne more content than any game, according to the previews anyway) so it could be.
 
Titles like those would be better announced during a press conference.

Yes. But isn't GT6 just as big? I don't think it should be relegated to a blog post and a press release. But if they don't show that, then I have no idea what it could be.

never doubt SSX, he is one of the best posters on gaf. When he said there was a source, you take his word for it.
 
Apparently not, or GT6 would be on PS4 instead of PS3.

They can announce GT6 for 2014, it would sell more copies as it would have a larger user base, and they'll still sell some PS4s on launch day to those that do that kind of thing when the game isn't out yet.

Get some of the PS3/Vita announcements out of the way so they can dedicate the conference to PS4. Fine with me.

Selling GT6 on the PS3 around the same time as DriveClub on the PS4 is just going to deter consumers from making the jump to purchase the latter. They both offer similar experiences, but the game coming out on the flashy next-gen system is a no-name new IP whereas the game coming out on 7 year old hardware is the next instalment in Sony's best selling franchise (assuming of course that GT6 is PS3-exclusive). I just think Evolution are going to suffer if they end up competing with Gran Turismo because of a screwy release schedule.
 
how would Swedish game sellers know about a PS4 version? maybe they are wishing it were on PS4 like most of GAf
Is this some kind of bizarre retailer racism where you only believe it if its on an American site? Remember most of our accurate retail listings come from random European sites.

Yah, my guess would be two things:

One, they want to leave E3 to be more PS4 centric, which makes good sense.

Two, it might help grab some attention away from Microsoft's announcement.

I think the Vita needs to have its presence felt at the E3 conference, in order to persuade folks that it's not being sidelined. I'd settle with just PS3 announcements this week.

Yeah, but that´s not a Drive Club exclusive problem, GT 6 on PS3 will hurt PS4 sales in general.

I won't argue that GT6 should be a next-gen title, but I don't think many gamers left cold by racing simulators are going to be put off buying a PS4 when there's plenty else to entice them. Knack, Second Son and Shadow Fall aren't going hurt the same way DriveClub will if they all go up against Polyphony's behemoth franchise.

I really doubt both DriverClub and GT6 will launch this year. Put yourself in the shoes of an Evolution studio employee for a second. They started developing a next gen game after finishing the Motorstorm trilogy. They hired the director behind PGR...

They WANTED to use the Gran Turismo brand name to sell their game, Polyphony Digital said no, so they went with an original name. So this was a minor spat in the face of Evolution, no big deal.

Now Sony launches both DriverClub and Gran Turismo 6 at the same time, GT6's hype ends up killing DriverClub, Evolution feels all their work has gone to waste, and the morale within the company reaches an all time low.

So Sony itself ends up wasting millions of dollars and killing a studio...yea I don't see both launching at the same time

What you just described sounds terrifyingly like something that would happen under Sony's watch.

When did all this shit get announced? xD

GT6, on the other hand, was the only weird PS4 listing I could find on CDon, aside from a retail release of Primal Carnage (which I thought was DL-only, no?). So that may be a good sign if you're looking to play GT6 on PS4.

Guess we'll find out soon. =P
 
While I think it makes way more sense to drop GT6 at PS4 launch, they'll probably release an enhanced GT6 for PS4 a few months after the PS3 release. Releasing it for PS3 gives them a short term burst of revenue, but I think it would be wiser to think long term with PS4 and get people buying PS4s as soon as possible.

Here's what I read today in the Sony E3 Conference thread...

Spoke to a SONY rep yesterday and was told all what was shown at the conference in FEB are launch titles......Also the champions league final WILL air the first PS4 Ads covering the half time because sony sponsors the champions league...If Microsoft are using Call of Duty to show off there console and exclusivity just wait for PS4 and battlefield maybe they will launch side by side?

without the rep giving out too much info GAKAI will be part of the press conference on JUNE 10th expect a firmware update.


hope the info wettens your tastes and we can all go back to this day that i qouted this information :)

If what he's saying is the truth then in all likelihood both games could be coming out in a short span of each other, which could be potentially disastrous for reasons you've given.

that would be horrendous, hopefully Sony will come to their senses and delay one of the games to 2014.
 
Are you serious? When was the last time Sony pulled a move like this? Failing to market C grade titles like Starhawk and Playstation All Stars doesn't count.

God of War 2 on PS2. Sony has a history of letting their in-house developers try to cling to an old console for too long, that said the PS3 isn't anywhere as successful as the PS2, but still you never know what a team like Santa Monica is capable of and Polyphony Digital has built up too much tech on the PS3.

That said, they seriously need to protect Drive Club when it's a new franchise and it needs as much marketing and support behind it as possible.
 
Nice, crow eaten. If the PS4 version does come out and it is just a upressed PS3 game, then I don't see it being a big deal. Basically yhe PS4 version has to look at least as good as Drive Club and Forza 5.

I wouldn't put too much stock in a single retailer listing.

While true that God Of War 2 came out pretty late (March 2007) in the PS2 lifecycle, did it compete against any similar games at the same time though? Heavenly Sword was released in September 2007 i think.

And didnt the first PS3's have backwards compatibility too
 
It would be awesome if Drive Club had a PSV companion app or title.

Isn't that already confirmed from the press conference. There is a companion app for phone/tablets/vita. You can create challenges, lap times on the app. I expect most future games to implement some companion app. For example the next Pro Evo, allows you to sort your team, formation, tactics and etc on your app. Expect the future of gaming where you are connected to your game, even when you are away from the PS4. Of course all games PS4 itself will have a companion app for watching shared videos, livestream, remote download on PSN store, friends activity and messaging.
 
My guess is that Sony will have a Gamer's Day event like they did a couple of years ago. Announce games for PS3 and Vita with the E3 conference focused on PS4.

Updates on Until Dawn and Puppeteer for PS3
Update on Rain for PSN
Gran Turismo 6 for PS3
LittleBigPlanet 3 for PS3/Vita
Uncharted Golden Abyss 2 for Vita
Sly Collection Vita
Maybe Ready At Dawn has a Vita team alongside their new IP team and is developing God of War Vita.
I could have sworn I heard the rumor that Infamous was coming to Vita too.

All of this would be awesome; seems possible as well. Intriguing seems like new IP's to me.
