You say that if these deals weren't in place already. Titanfall was the last show piece of Microsoft's E3 conference last year, and the it was Gameinfomer's cover before that. The deal was in place way before Either system was announced. Now what's stupid in hindsight is full exclusivity. If EA were smart they would have coasted on microsft's money getting god word of mouth from PC/Xbone players's and six months later drope Titanfall prepare to drop edtion for PS4 players.
They were thinking that the xbox would have taken an early lead in the places were Call of Duty is king. That coupled with microsoft's massive exclusivity and marketing pockets its understandable why they went with it.
What no one counted on was how much Mattrick screwed the xbox group before being fired.
Not really feeling it yet, No single Player seems like a bad fit for a L4D style game. Something like this works for say a titanfall where its an actual shooter or even destiny which is an MMO.
This is an interesting take on PVP but this honestly sounds like it should be a mode in a shooter and not the main attraction.
Hopefully they expanded upon it.more as we get closer to expovseason.
It's basic in its better than the Wii Us, but worse than the Xbox One which is what I was expecting in the first place.Only real complaint I have so far from what ive seen is the PSN is a goddman mess and the worse out of the three store fronts.
You'd think they design the whole think over for the touchpad or look similar to the what's new Tiles.
edit: I also would like to see the friends list become more like Twitter similar to what Miiverse and Live are doing this gen. I like that on the other systems I can follow a developer without impeding on my regular friends list.
Y'all some paranoid ****s. You guts do realize that Shu owns a 360 and Phil Spencer owns a PS3. Hell they've talked The Last of Us. Animal crossing, and Pokemon in the major nelson podcast.
While I want to see at least one big new game (the rumored FF-esque JRPG from Japan Studio or the rumored WRPG from Gureilla games). Mostly i'd like to see more info about all the already announced games.
Guess I'll pick up a 3 month pass for PS+. Won't be getting any sony consoles until early next year but might as well have a decent library of stuff to play when I do get a Vita and PS4.
This Plus Smartglass being pushed hard makes the Wii U misstep even more obvious. The biggest feature of both are the ability for developers to make smartphone companion apps that work through Playstation app/Smartglass.
It's an angle alright. Let's be honest why the guys behind the program are legit, Sony's marketing for indies is totally an exploative angle since the events leading up to launch are focused on us the core who like indie tiitles.
Still who cares if its an angle if the games are good.
While I think this and the Xbox Music thing is cool. I hope both let other music apps use this background features since I don't suscribe to either. (though I do a have music uploaded to xbox music.)
I'm really happy they decided to go this route for the second player. I like when games have ways to bring new gamers in and honestly the mario Galaxy/Sonic lost world money collector is kind of lame.
IGN has a 15 minute video up with gameplay up. I defiantly see where the game is coming from from the new levels shown. Its a hyrbrd of two generations of Playstation. I get the vibe of Crash Bandicoot blended with God of War.
Only Sony could screw a game that should have been a sure fire hit up. I know they needed something for Holiday 2012, ut the game really should have been delayed to 2013 to be on all three Sony consoles. Plus the UI, character roster, and overall gameplay still needed work.
While that's true its apparently free for only one year. (Still a pretty sound strategy depending on how many dev units one needs)
The Xbox One has the possibility to become similar to Rasberry Pi or any other modern platform. (No one complains that a dev kit for Android can cost up to $100-$600 depending on what device you buy, $220-500 if your grabbing a nexus).
For guys interested in development or even school programs the Xbox One is an interesting proposition once everything gets squared away.

@Squiggle55
I know that, but i'm talking between Microsoft and EA. Zampella was ****ed off because EA sold the exclusivity to the title without his consent.

Re: Rumour: Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Set to Touch PS4
Rodmius Prime sucks.
I'm guessing this is going to be the next game in the Cybertron series.

Re: PS Vita Slim Ventures Stateside in Borderlands 2 Bundle
Kind of bummed that we aren't getting the dope Camo model, but I'm down for this. I'd say the trade offs for oled are worth it imo.
Sony should really ramp up marketing to piggyback off the PS4 hype and tackle the kids market by showing all the kid friendly games like Sly Cooper.
Re: PS Vita Slim Ventures Stateside in Borderlands 2 Bundle
@get2sammyb
So you'd still reccomend the first generation Vita. This seems like a really good deal.
Re: Microsoft Will Pay You to Dump Your PS3 for an Xbox One
@Pushsquare @get2sammyb s
Was this article even needed other than pushing clicks from Fanboy bait. This is standard practice in the retail industry as it pretains to games.
I expect so much more from this website.
Re: Blimey, PS Plus Subscriptions Have Tripled Since the PS4's Launch
The service is pretty awesome but let's be honest this would have happened regardless due to the PS3 having a paywall.
Re: Microsoft: Sony's Done a Nice Job Defining the PlayStation 4
@KiLLeRCLaM
Or you know these people are just that and don't always care about politics.
Re: Review: Mutant Mudds Deluxe (PlayStation Network)
I already have this on 3DS, but will gladly double dip next month.
Re: You'll Be Able to Try Killzone: Shadow Fall's Multiplayer for Free Next Month
Nice Sony has done this before with the Killzone and uncharted multiplayer.
I think they should wait till infamous and than spin off the multiplayer for around $20. Maybe push it in the esports community.

Re: Need Your Fix of PS4 on the Road? PlayStation App Is Out Now
Already have it on my Nexus 4. Pretty good but a bit sloppy that it goes to a b links.
Still a great first effort.
Re: Super Motherload Digs into the PS4 Launch Lineup
my most anticipated of the indie stuff at launch.
Re: Sony Would Like to Give You Some Money for Buying a PS4
I hope this deal lats at least for the next year.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Plans for the PS4's Launch?
Watching the Giantbomb and IGN Livestreams and counting the days till next year when i'll get one.
Re: Talking Point: Is a Big Reveal Likely During Sony's PS4 Launch Livestream?
@Legendaryboss
Yoshida jokes around on twitter alot.
While I want to see at least one big new game (the rumored FF-esque JRPG from Japan Studio or the rumored WRPG from Gureilla games). Mostly i'd like to see more info about all the already announced games.
Re: Resogun, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and Soul Sacrifice Front NA PS Plus Update
Guess I'll pick up a 3 month pass for PS+. Won't be getting any sony consoles until early next year but might as well have a decent library of stuff to play when I do get a Vita and PS4.
Re: Want to Play PSone Games on PS4? Sorry, You're Gonna Need Your Old Consoles
I' m buying a Vita and Vita TV so this won't be that big of a deal. Hopefully they Patch it in just to have the PS4 have even more software support.
Re: Talking Point: Which PlayStation Game Gives You the Goosebumps?
The Original Resident Evil is still one of the most scary Games I've played.
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS4 Pulls Ahead of Xbox One, Too
Do people really care about this stuff. I mean it doesn't seem to help the PC all that much.
Re: Weirdness: You're Going to Wish That Your PS4 Controller Is White
I just want one in blue.
Re: The Order: 1886 Takes a Trip Through Time in Game Informer
Got the digital issue and this game looks amazing On par with Killzone and Infamous.
Re: PlayStation App Will Facilitate Second Screen Experiences on PS4
This Plus Smartglass being pushed hard makes the Wii U misstep even more obvious. The biggest feature of both are the ability for developers to make smartphone companion apps that work through Playstation app/Smartglass.
Re: Hands On: PS4 Launch Title Knack Is Gradually Gathering Steam
Wood Knack looks pretty sweet. I'm honestly more excited about this than Drive Club or Killzone.
Re: Looks Like Delsin Rowe Will Be Switching His Threads a Lot in inFAMOUS: Second Son
Give me a Sly Cooper Jacket pls.
Re: Project Phoenix Officially Swoops onto PS4 and Vita
@Gemuarto
that looks horrid.
Re: Sony: Indie Drive Is Not Just an Angle, It's Truly the Strategy of PlayStation
It's an angle alright. Let's be honest why the guys behind the program are legit, Sony's marketing for indies is totally an exploative angle since the events leading up to launch are focused on us the core who like indie tiitles.

Re: Cosmic Star Heroine Is the Retro Sci-Fi RPG You've Been Waiting For
@odd69

Re: Game of the Month: August 2013 - Rayman Legends
Pretty sure Time and Eternity came out last month.
Re: Deep Down Will Be Playable on PS4 at the Tokyo Game Show
Please let this be a new Dragon's Dogma game.
Re: Weirdness: Sony's Latest Xbox One Dig Is Actually Really Rather Amusing
Boyles and Spencer are my two favorites at each company so its awesome. Real talk I want all the shirts.
Not sure which side of the coin i'll fall on first at launch.
Re: Here's Your Very First Official PlayStation 4 Hardware Bundle
I hope we get this in America. I would honestly forego one of the controllers for PS+.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on the PS4's Launch Lineup?
Its decent. Not as good as the Xbone's but better than the Wii U's. I think killzone is about to be pushed to Uncharted levels.
Re: Music Unlimited Is Not Going to Be Totally Useless on PS4
While I think this and the Xbox Music thing is cool. I hope both let other music apps use this background features since I don't suscribe to either. (though I do a have music uploaded to xbox music.)
Re: Ueda: The Last Guardian's Still in Production, But Isn't a Priority
This game is never coming out. So after Puppeteer and Knack what's next.
Freedom Wars
Gravity Rush 2
the Level-5 game?
Re: GamesCom 2013: PlayStation 4 Cultivates a Fresh Flower Port
Nice but I would rather have had Journey.
Re: GamesCom 2013: Are You Stuck in Knack? Sounds Like a Job for Robo-Knack
I'm really happy they decided to go this route for the second player. I like when games have ways to bring new gamers in and honestly the mario Galaxy/Sonic lost world money collector is kind of lame.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a $500 PS4 and Vita Bundle?
I don't own a Vita so yes I would.
Re: Review: Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational (PlayStation 3)
I guess this means we might see a tennis entry for PS4 Japanese launch.
Re: Stop Pleading for New PS All-Stars Characters and Stages

Re: Lose Yourself in the Cold, Harsh Downpour of Rain
Japan Studio is on fire.
Re: SOE Not Thinking About PS4 Version of EverQuest Next Just Yet
I need this in my veins. They totally should be targting PS4 at launch tho.
Re: inFAMOUS: Second Son Brings Car Crash Entertainment to PS4
My most anticipated of the Sony stuff announced.
Re: Deep Down Raises Its Flame Shield, Is an Online Game for PS4
Most likely this is Dragon's Dogma 2 with a mutliplayer component meaning they should stop making monster hunter games right now.
Re: Round Up: We've Played a Ton of PS4 Games, Read Our Thoughts
I'm exicted about the console as a whole and plan to get teh Trifecta at launch. (Knack, Drive Club PS+, and Killzone: Shadowfall.
Have you guys played any of the indie games yet?
Re: Sony's Loaning PS4 Development Kits to Indie Studios for Free
@ViciousDS
While that's true its apparently free for only one year. (Still a pretty sound strategy depending on how many dev units one needs)
The Xbox One has the possibility to become similar to Rasberry Pi or any other modern platform. (No one complains that a dev kit for Android can cost up to $100-$600 depending on what device you buy, $220-500 if your grabbing a nexus).
