Forums - Sony Discussion - Megaton predictions for PS4 at E3/TGS

MAJOR UPDATE: I've talked with my source and he has said that it's not a certainty that ALL megatons will be shown at e3 this year; some might appear at TGS as well - and this really sucks!

So, let me share with you my predictions for e3 AND TGS this year:

The price:

$349.99 EDIT: My source have now said they might not announce the price at e3, and that he wouldn't "make any bets on the price either" =/ Looks like I might be screwed!! And here is the reason why it'll cost $349: http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/52361-tired-unrealistic-hair-then-use-amd-tressfx/ - they made a deal with AMD.

The meltdowns:

A former Xbox exclusive will be shown!

The Megatons:

An old franchise from the PS1-era will return to Sony (1st party).

A PS2-era series will also return (1st party).

I also suspect that we'll see The Last Guardian will be there (but this I have no back up for, it's just a hunch).

But the best part is a game that will redeem a whole company (I've heard it's a boss fight they will show)(exclusive).

And PS4 is also getting a BIG online service that will kick ass. Part of this service has actually already been announced, but it's not obvious yet...

I hope you enjoy this years e3 Sony fans, because it will be a great one! I'm hyped to see all the awesome reactions already :D

 

These EDITS might make it into e3/tgs or it might not, they will how ever be announced one day:

EDIT: Naughty Dog is working on a new IP as well, not sure if that will be shown though...

EDIT 2: We might see some VERY cool saving and charging features for the new controller, as well as seeing other features for the consoles (tracking and measuring stuff).

EDIT3: I'm trying to sneak in another hint of possibly a new game, but I'm not sure though... Could have been announced or it might not have been, don't know actually... It's hard to keep it hidden.

EDIT4: Gaikai will be huge and awesome! It will blow your mind! I hope I can add some information soon.

AMD to sell a version of the PS4 APU to PC builders

In further AMD news it has been revealed that the company will be making available a version of the chip powering the Sony PlayStation 4 to ordinary folk and PC builders. The chip will be the same AMD Jaguar APU minus some Sony technology and custom specifications.

John Taylor, head of marketing for AMD's Global Business Units, told The Inquirer that the APU will be available to consumers later this year. The chip made available to consumers will be the based on the same technology but sounds like it will be cut down in several ways. Talking about Sony’s PS4 reveal AMD’s Taylor said “Everything that Sony has shared in that single chip is AMD [intellectual property], but we have not built an APU quite like that for anyone else in the market. It is by far the most powerful APU we have built to date, it leverages [intellectual property] that you will find in our A-series APUs later this year, our new generation of APUs but none that will quite be to that level of sheer number of cores, sheer number of teraflops.”

When AMD launches its third generation of APUs later in the year and the Sony PS4 is available it will be interesting to compare what differences and enhancements the Sony technology and chip specification makes to games titles across systems. However I’m sure both systems will offer nice in-game hair.

 

THIS IS THE REASON WHY PS4 WILL BE CHEAP! $349 ISN'T AN IMPOSSIBILITY!

I have a hard time believing the $350 price you´re claiming.



I bet you your user account.

- Price $349
- Former Xbox exclusive on PS4
- PS1 and PS2 franchises revealed for PS4

 

EDIT: Ok, so you want me to call you king in my sig for a year. If I win, then you have to exclaim your own stupidity in your sig.

Didn't anybody learn the lesson this week? You over hype things and the reality will always fall short. You can and have every right to be excited, but make realistic predictions.

From my memory, every E3 from the past few years is a disappointment to everybody. Its not about who "won" but who "disappointed the least". Then again, we do have 2 new consoles to showcase, so I hope I am wrong here.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

These are exciting predictions. I hope a few come to fruition, but I have my doubts.
I actually think the price will be $450, but I'm hopeful for $400; $350 would be a dream.



I bet on $449 at least.

 

$499-$549 for premium versions.
