@get2sammyb I think they are smart not to give all their software secrets, gamescon should be mainly about Vita "IF" they have it to announce that is.

SSM and Naughty Dog should be left for the VGA's in my opinion keep your big guns for closer to launch to regain mind share just before the purchase is going to be made. That said they still have plenty studios to announce games from in between, maybe just a tease of SSM game like they did with the order along with one or two of the other studios games.

They hopefully learnt with Vita to spread it out. I just want more freedom wars info if I'm honest

@jgrangervikings I think you hit the nail on the head right there! Price is not the issue well not in my country as Vita is cheaper or the same price as a 3ds depending where you shop. last month they ran a special Vita with cod or AC, 4gig memory card, and wipeout, motorstorm for roughly 200 dollars (I purchased a second Vita) There is games but does the average JOE know about it

Any word if SSM is teasing this as well? The GOW A easter egg makes it likely to be them but GG also has a new ip in the pipeline. I don't think it's think its wise for SCE studios to blow their load at launch they would be wise to stagger the launch of their new titles.

No vita love for gt6???
I'm trying to get my head around the Sony first party releases this year. A great send off year for ps3 is good but think they launched too many, most with horrible advertising. Some titles should have been vita only (they sold low numbers anyway)
Prime example is Puppeteer. It looks very intriguing definite day 1 for me, but i don't actually think it shift very good numbers and again no vita version.(stand to be corrected on that one) Rain I think should also be one of those cross buy titles.
My biggest gripe at the moment is how they are taking a lot of the gear heads away from drive club. Making them focus on gt6 especially when they are incorporating one of drive clubs main draw cards i.e the social integration.
New engine not sharing resources between Evolution and PD. GT is their only silver bullet and in my humble opinion is not being utilised correctly. I could go on about how they always feel the need to shoot themselves in the foot but, thats for another day.

Sorry for long post

Re: Sony Has 'Some Intriguing Game Announcements' in the Pipeline

If I'm honest GT6 this year on ps3 would not be a wise decision as it would not only take away from Drive club sales but in a small way ps4 sales. I play with all the pretty hardcore GT guys in my country, they mostly made up the GT academy in our region. When discussing it with them most reckon they would put off getting PS4 if GT6 was actually released or announced. Best case scenario? I don't honestly know, delay till announcement till next year, good but will cost some sales. Ideal timing has passed, next year is my option 2 around feb, may. Any more informed opinions on the subject? (But GT Vita would be A++++++++++++++)
