That is a launch window game, and then we can all die in peace.

Going by the rumors, they have a new Uncharted, a Guerrilla game (probably Killzone), a GT6 prologue and a racing game (Wipeout? Motorstorm?). Looks a pretty solid launch with all their big guns (except GoW).

Uncharted team is working on Last of Us, Wipeout team was killed last year. Guerrilla game is likely, GT6 prologue is doable but with that team you never know. That will be first party, and third party? any ideas? any prospects?

No. PS5 launch title.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

The team that made UC2 is working on TLOU, the team that made UC3 is working on an unnannouced project. Then there's MM (tearaway is a small team), GG (as you said), Sucker Punch and maybe a game from Japan Studio or evolution.

Third parties: Next COD, FIFA, BF, Watch_Dogs, MGS GZ... those are coming for sure.

MS and AMD has finished preliminary works on Xbox 720 CPU/APU architecture [we still dont know what exactly they are making], and they've sent final designs to be manufactured. If these wafers come out good and without bugs or yield problems, the most important part of Xbox 720 will be ready for mass production in few months. Taping process usualy lasts two months, with one additional month for detailed testing.

This may just be a rumour, but I've been expecting MS to launch their next gen console this year, so I think this could be fairly accurate, or should I say...semi accurate! =D  ....okay.

"Taping process usually lasts two months, with one additional month for detailed testing."

That's one more month of detailed testing than the 360!

720 sounds like it will just squeak by with a holiday 2013 launch, most likely only in North America. I say PS4 get's unveiled this year, but doesn't release until mid-2014.

ND is 2 teams.  They split after Uncharted 2 I believe.  1 made Uncharted 3 and the other made Last of Us.  The Uncharted 3 team will have had 2 years if Sony releases Fall 2013 to make a new game.  Considering it's a new console that would be impressive, but for ND it's doable as they're a very efficient company.  Sony still owns the Wipeout IP so they could have someone else working on it.  The usual Battlefield and COD will be third party along with sports games.  Watch Dogs, Star Wars 1313, and MGS: Ground Zeros/Phantom Pain could be ready come launch or close to.

I secretly hope that Microsoft will announce and then ship the console within weeks of E3. They did the same thing with the Xbox 360 Slim where they managed to keep it secret right up until the show and then announced it and let people buy it straight away when their hype levels were at the maximum. It'd be IMO better than announcing it in June for release in November/December and it would be a nice little head start if they can get good production volumes of say >300K per week.



Tease.
