Nextbox - New IP/s, Halo 4 and maybe next Fable for launch

PS4 - Will maybe have a new IP, and will have a sequel for another series for launch. I'm thinking LBP, or Uncharted

Wii U - A game perfect to get the Wii U moving is the next Super Smash Bros., That would help a lot, it's easy to play, has characters many people know, and online would be awesome, well I hope it will be.

But Halo 4 just released for the 360, so wouldn't that more or less guarantee that it's a no-show when the nextbox launches? And I know Lionhead also just released a Fable for the Kinect; but perhaps they have 2 teams?

PS4 sounds about right though... I guess the Last Guardian could be a PS4 launch title...

I'm pretty sure we won't see SSB4 until 2014, but a 3D Mario or/and Mario Kart is more or less guaranteed ^^



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

You need one social game that is easy to play and doesn't require a lot of commitment.

You need a game that shows the graphical power of your console. Not the full power but at least a glimpse of the potential.

You need a game that is deep and makes the gamer want to play, even when they don't have time to play it. They'll stay up past their bedtime. They'll think about it when they're not playing it. Make them say "One more level" or "Just one more hour...."

And that's it. As long as they're exclusive. It doesn't do any good if the big game that shows off the capability of your console is also the game that shows off the capability of the competition. Call of Duty? Great game but you can play that anywhere. Arkham City? Amazing title. Everybody has access to it. Why do gamers NEED to play on YOUR console?

WipEout 4K

GT6 might come out a year later than PS4 launch, more polish and a bigger installbase.

GUERRILLA GAMES should release KILLZONE 4. I can't wait or Wipeout.

i dont think sony will have a problem when it comes to exclusives in their first year.


-naughty dog (uncharted team) released UC3 in 2011, so by 2014 they would have had enough time to release a new game
- media molecule LBP2 released in Q1 2011, also enough time to make a game by launch or launch window
-sucker punch infamous2 mid 2011, so a mid 2014 release window is likely is well
- santa monica, if they really are two teams now they had since Q1 2010 to release make a game, that would be about 4 years
- Guerrilla Games - reportedly a two team studio as well now, making killzone 4 and a new IP. killzone3 released in Q1 2011 so thats about two and half years to release a game and more time to release the other
- Ready At Dawn, they made the Two GoW games on the PSP and are now making a "next gen" game. it was said before that its an action adventure tittle, GoW ghost of sparta released in 2010, so they would have had more than enough time to make their game by launch date

these are six very talented studio's that can make diverse games and big hits. each one of them also released their last game at either 2011 or 2010 so they had enough time to make exclusive games set to release within the first year of the PS4

Seems like you know your SOny studios =) But wouldn't some of them be working on games for the Vita as well?

 guerrilla games cambridge's studio is working on the killzone vita tittle, but their main studio is said to have been split to two teams. 

naughty dog will surely make their games just for console and PS4, they once even stated that they work on console only, would be a big surprise if they make a handheld game, same goes for santa monica, they always been console only type of studio. both of these studios franchises (GoW, Uncharted) have had other developers make games for handleds instead of them.

Sucker punch, well they could be making a vita game, cant say for sure, but never heard a single romur, report to think other wise. though you never know

media molecule already has a vita tittle in the works, tear away you should check it out, it looks awesome!

ready at dawn, now these guys made the GoW handheld games but after they were done with ghost of sparta i clearely remember them saying they are making a new action adventure type game for the PS3, but a couple of months back i read something that they are making a "next gen" new IP, i guess they transfered it from PS3 to PS4.

Tear Away, is that the game where you can stick your fingers inside of the Vita so to speak? You put them on the back of the Vita and they appear onscreen?

Well, by the sound of what you're telling me it seems as if PS4 is set to have an awesome launch line up!! At least one of those studios will be releasing a game this fall. It'll be very interesting to see what games makes it to launch, which will be released the following spring and the second fall...

well im saying this with all the data that we have but its only logical that they release some games in the first year 12 months of the consoles life. it also depends on whether studios like GG and SSM are actually two teams or not now. but Sony do have a good number of studio's that should be working on PS4 games
