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

The problem with getting hyped for Vita games is that PS+ provides me with more Vita games than I can play per month.
 
Ok last retort on sony holding back info and then I'm putting my phone down and going to sleep (probably).


I agree with all of you that Sony could win some hearts and minds during this launch window by showing more games. I agree there will be fence sitters that will decide that the promise of halo is enough and buy a xbox 1. But the problem with this line of thinking is that there just isn't enough of those people.


Sony will be much better served if they can keep the hype going. Right? I mean you guys don't want to see the same old games tomorrow... you want new stuff. But if you show off new stuff now what do you show at TGS? What do you show at the Vgas? What do you show at gdc? What do you show at e3? It will all be retreads of games they revealed far Tok early and everyone will be upset that there aren't being new games shown.


Likewise if they give us something here... let's say guerrilla's new IP... and then new demons souls at TGS. And then uncharted at the Vgas. And then SSM'S game at gdc... And then Agent and GT6 and other shit we can't imagine at e3... the hype doesn't stop. That's the plan. This is a long, long generation. You don't want to just drop a ton of info and then go 2/3 of a year just talking about it over and over.


Alright I'm off to bed maybe.

This is basically what I'm expecting. I'm not expecting them to blow their load, just one big game from a major first party studio.
 
5 hours 45 minutes until the EA event, hoping for some next gen gameplay of Fifa and maybe a new map reveal for BF4... best keep expectations in check and not hope for more from that either..
 
End of october for some key markets (us, uk, France, Germany etc), then end of nov for rollout worldwide? Cant see them doing it globally in october
 
Release date aside, am I the only who doesn't expect mind blowing announcements today? Relax guys, keep your expectations in check.

Thing is i'm easily pleased, all i want is :

- Release date for EU.
- Price drop/Vita redesign.
- Vita Memory card price drop (This is pivotal to me buying one.)
- 1 Unannounced new PS4 IP
- Anything else is the icing on the cake for me.

they will probably go "worldwide" at the same time, but in reality, some countries will be slower than others.

Yes that's what I'm expecting, a staggered launch but still this year.

I really hope for a Vita price cut and a White Vita announced for Europe. A few cool game announcements wouldn't go a miss either.

Also a PS3 price cut. The systems getting well looked after in its afterlife, but it needs to come down in price to entertain those who want a great library and a much better price.

On PS4, the release date of course and lots of information and holes filled in about stuff we don't know it are unsure about. A fee new game announcements and teasers of future titles.
 
I found it strange like no one on Sony side try to get us hype for the conference.
Not even "please be exited" or "Just saw some incredible trailer" kind of thing from tweeter.
 
Second Son is playable on the show floor:

Sony PR said:
Die große Popularität von PlayStation 4 spiegelt sich auch auf dem PlayStation Stand in Halle 7 wieder. Auf über 2.000 Quadratmetern erwartet den Messebesucher Unterhaltung pur. Ein großer Teil des Stand-Konzepts ist PlayStation 4 gewidmet. Zu den absoluten Highlights zählen die PS4-Titel wie #Driveclub oder Knack. Im 16+-Bereich sind darüber hinaus auch die Action-Blockbuster Killzone Shadow Fall und inFamous: Second Son spielbar. Zusätzlich können auch Krachertitel wie Assassin’s Creed Black Flag oder Watch Dogs vom 3rd-Party-Hersteller Ubisoft auf dem Showfloor angespielt werden. Selbstverständlich kommen auch jüngere Messebesucher voll auf ihre Kosten, etwa mit der Techdemo „Playroom“ für PS4, die die Steuerungsmöglichkeiten des neuen Dualshock 4-Controllers eindrucksvoll unter Beweis stellt.

Edit: The media press kit will be released after the conference, hopefully with new screenshots and stuff :)
 
October date for west market (TGS for Japan launch details). Europe will get the console a couple of days first then USA.

Two big new Sony games for PS Vita (another Bend's Uncharted, Gravity Rush 2, or GOW). Hype Killzone and Tearaway.

New (one or two) PS4 Sony games announcement. Big hype Killzone and DriveClub. Hint (a teaser trailer) @ Naughty Dog new game.

Pricedrop PS Vita. 199 with a game and a 4 GB memory.

Pricedrop on memory card PS Vita (at least 40-50%, like the microSD price).

Ability to switch memory card on PS Vita without pain. (so you can put all PSone games in one Memory, PSV games in other one, and so on).

If so, would be gaming heaven.
 
My body is ready

Will be home from work just in time for this! I can't decide whether i should eat while i watch the stream, or eat before i watch the stream so that i can join the hypetrain on GAF. ALL THESE FUCKING DECISIONS!
 
Have some sleep, Mortimer. I'd like to thank you for all of your input. I like your inside views and your attitude, similarly to Thuway's but he's been a bit quiet recently (probably worried about his feathers).

I'm getting hyped up for the conference. Time to fill up the tub!

Dove. Good choice.

Eat before, or put your food into a blender and drink it through a straw, leaves your hands free and you can watch the feed without the need to ever take your eyes off of it!
 
I have a feeling Sony is going to spread the reveals of this and next year.
i think we are getting hyped for jack.
You would have thought something would have leaked by now.
I really hope they blow us away, but if MS again shows us the money... i mean games and PS4 reveals nothing and the same old E3 trailers the hype will die down.
I for one have been hoping and waiting we will see a glimpse of the future, what games we will get by the end of this year and next year.
Go Sony !
 
Gamescom wikipedia has uncharted 4 sheduled as a game shown by sony...probably some joker put it there, but hey, a man can dream can't he:-)

Go Sony !

To be fair we've seen many indie games available around launch and into early 2014.

Add to that 3 big launch titles that fill the Action-Adventure / FPS / Racing genres and then a massive open world game in the spring. Obviously all the big third party stuff too.

Sony have shown off quite a lot in terms of what we'll be playing during the first 6 months. I doubt we'll get anything else for that window, aside from a few potentially unannounced third party titles.

People sometimes seem to forget how slow the first 6-12 months of a console launch are.

I think the most we'll get exclusive wise in 2014 post Infamous is The Order, Uncharted and a Media Molecule game (I'd guess they'll show that today considering the event). Potentially we may see TLOU PS4 if rumours are to be believed.

I would like to see the Ubi stand, maybe there showing of some more Division :)
And Guerillia games would be nice, because they are the developers from my country.

You probably mean a mop. It's black in reality, just crappy phone lenses. Anyway, I'm running down to the shop for more Dove because somebody's mentioned UC4 teaser.

They've just done that at the Xbox event but it was all animation to feature smart glass functionality, from what I'm reading. Nothing new than what was shown at E3.
 
So, the Xbox One FIFA deal was announced, but it's not as big of a deal as some were making it since it's limited to pre-orders. It sounds like they're using it to boost pre-orders in countries where pre-orders aren't really moving.

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.
 
Welp. After that MS briefing, Mort is vindicated. Sony isn't going to show shit today for PS4. More hope for Vita stuff now.

Sony, rain down vita bombs:
Price drop
Memory card price drop
Larger memory card
3-5 new titles
Show off remote play

So what are the chances 3 of those happen later today?
