2018 is shaping up to be another great year for games.

@ShogunRok I see this as a kind of a "cheat code". Remember FFVII for PS4 had those options to activate you HP 9999? Well is something like that.
Yes, the balance gone, but sometimes, is fun just to go nuts.

Why when other companies add free stuff in a game, there are articles celebrating that fact, but when SE is adding free stuff in FFXV, there is allays an article questioning this additions?

Early next year.
2017 Fall is already packed with games.

Funny! The question of Sony's commitment to indies didn't come up on E3 2016, and if I remember correctly, there was no announcement of indie games at that conference.
Another issue that people are complaining is the conference duration. And again, E3 2016 conference clocked around 1 hour, and nobody took issue with that at the time.
The hypocrisy continues.

It could work for some games that are coming in the Fall, specially if they have a release date for Gran Turismo Sport.

Probably a price drop of 50$ or a bundle, close to the launch of the XBox One X.

In my opinion, PSX 2017 is a better platform to reintroduce Dreams.

And we cannot forget PS+. If players play online in another console, no PS+ subscription.

@3Above As long they have 60+ million player base, they don't need to worry about this.

In the 7th image, is Kratos still carrying the head of Helios?

It's clear Sony is focusing on God of War, Spider-man, Days Gone and Detroit. And since those games are scheduled for 2018, there is no point in debuting more games, when they already have a packed 2018.
Also, the focus on VR might put off some people.

Overall, I think this E3 have so many leaks, it was difficult to find a surprise or a comeback in all the press conferences.

I wonder if we gonna see any of the unused colossi. Fumito Ueda originally planned for 48 colossi.

@viciousarcanum Probably because the arcade version of the game runs on a modified PS4.

@ShogunRok The description says "Over 20 playable Final Fantasy heroes and villains to play", so could be more. Also, there is going to be DLC characters for sure.

This might be the effect of Red Dead Redemption 2 delay.
Every publisher is now more comfortable to launch games in the Fall.

If this list is true, it's disappointing.
CAPCOM will grab this opportunity to grab more cash for characters that were always available in past games (X-Men characters and Dr. Doom).
And no Asura? Really?

The noise caused by the episodic nature of the game clearly made damage.
Square Enix plan for the release of the game seem to change every time in order to appease the gaming community. Also, the scepticism in the gaming media, and gaming community, on the episodic nature of the game didn't help, as many saw this as a purely financial move.
Good luck, IO Interactive.

@get2sammyb My problem with the game is the story, it should focus on what happen after the first Darksider, when the horsemen are all summoned.
I love the Darksiders games, but this seem like a cash grab (yes, even more than the remasters).
Hope I'm wrong.

So Nioh and Nier Automata go for 1 million units sold each, and now Persona 5 goes for 1.5 million units shipped.
It's been a good year for the niche games.

Every God of War game (except Ghost of Sparta), launched in the month of March. Maybe they follow this trend and launch in March 2018.

I blame EA.
Mass Effect Andromeda could have launch in September, allowing Bioware to polish the game, at least at a technical level.
This launch it's purely to fill the financial quarter report.

@get2sammyb I think it's because of the eyes.

I remember a time, when people replayed a game over and over. Now is just, play and forget. I understand there are always more games coming out, but not everybody buy a game on daily basis. A developer improving on the re-playability of the game is welcomed.
Don't forget, people shout out loud because SE made Hitman episodic, and now, the same people say it was a great strategy for the game.

They probably working on a PC port for FFXV.

P3: FES and P4 (Golden and spin-offs), please.

A solid month

Could it be a shadow drop for the event that SE have planed for January 31th?

I'm steel waiting for a remaster of Uncharted Golden Abyss for PS4.

@ShogunRok I would have vote for him if it were multiple selections. I was actually divided between Tidus and Noctis.

2016 has not be a good year for Ubisoft. The Division was underwhelming, Watch_Dogs 2 sells were lower than the first, the silent launch of STEEP, and now this. Is Ubisoft trying to sabotage itself?
I think the hostile takeover from Vivendi and the investigation over the inside trading are signs that something in Ubisoft is not right.

The remaster of FFVIII and FFIX could be a possibility, since they already exist for PC, the port to PS4 wouldn't be difficult.
A FFXIII triology remaster is not out of the question. Could make sense, since there is the possibility of creating a great package with 3 games and all the DLC. Again, the games exist in PC and the port to PS4 is possible.

If the Uncharted 4 ending is any indication, it's probably going to focus on Sam and Victor adventures.

What about Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8?

In the Playstation Blog, there is a good FAQ about PS4 Pro.

"The price is right" and "What's next for the PS4?" are the most important aspects to clarify.

"Flex those specs": I still believe the success of PS4 comes from Sony giving players what they want, and not the specs. The common consumer does not care about specs.

"What does it do?": I'm curious to see how they going to present the graphical improvement in games, at least to those who are going to watch the stream of the event. Unless they stream the event in 4K and you have a 4K TV, I doubt that you gonna see any graphical improvement.

Nobody wants to see a digital nip-slip.

The conversation about price is something that fascinates me. I remember when people went mad because the price of No Man Sky, because it was made by an indie studio, and so, it should never be priced 60€.
Mass Effect 2 to PS3 was launch a year later of the PC/XBOX360 version, and it was priced 60€.
I think the issue with ROTTR was the whole screw up in the exclusivity deal, because when the game was revealed in E3 2014 there was no knowledge about exclusivity. Only months after, we learn that the game would be exclusive to XBOX One, and that made people mad.
In the end, companies can price whatever they see fit, but it would be nice a goodwill gesture from SE (charge full price, but offer the DLC codes).

PS4 is on the front for one big reason, it was 100$ cheaper than the XB1 at launch. The same reason the XB360 was in the front, because Sony thought that people would spend 599$ for a console.
Now, the XB1S price is between 299$ - 399$ (depending of the HDD), so I believe the XB1 Scorpio will be at least 499$, and so, we have a very expensive console that probably only tech enthusiast will buy at launch.
And then, there is the problem of user base, now we have 60 million (give or take) current gen consoles, and developers are going to optimize games to a new iteration of consoles that have no were near that number of user base? I'm not knowledgeable about game development, but I think that upscaling and frame rate improvement is not just that linear.

IMO, Sony needs to focus on the 40 million user base to sell PSVR. They need to make sure to consumers that PSVR is not another hardware like Move or PSTV, that is launch and then forgotten.
About the Neo, I think they should present the new console in their own press conference (like they did with the PS4) and probably on Q1 2017, when they can get more media attention.

For the people that boycott games because of publishers, in truth, are hurting the developers. In case of Deep Silver, by boycotting Persona 5, you'll be hurting Atlus, not Deep Silver.

@FullbringIchigo I was probably one of the few people that laugh at the video of Mighty nº 9 because of how ridiculous it was. But the failure of Mighty nº 9, as a game, is the responsibility of Concept, not Deep Silver.
Believe me, if the game reviewed on metacritic between 80 or 90, nobody would be talking about the ridiculous trailer.

@FullbringIchigo @Bad-MuthaAdebisi
While SEGA could come across as lazy for not publishing the game, I believe they are protecting the game by not putting the name on the cover.
Lets no forget that SEGA, as company, is still working on recouping their reputation that once had.

Looking forward to the following games:
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts HD2.8

After Odin Sphere, I think this could be a good opportunity to bring Dragon's Crown to PS4.

@Gamer83
It's no doubt that Ratchet & Clank lower price point is a big help, and makes up for the lack of advertising.

Ratchet & Clank back in the top 10. Now that is a success story.
