| Esquoret said: So... PS4 conference. Thoughts? In terms of system power and graphics, it's better but definitely not as revolutionary as the jump from PS2 era to PS3. Which is I think why a lot of the innovation is found in the social functionalities. Some of them are neat, others had me thinking, "Do people seriously have such little patience nowadays?" The controller is neat, though. It's the solid, trustworthy gamepad plus touch controls plus motion control. As long as the software is designed well it should be enjoyable to use. As for games, the new inFamous announcement is both nice and disappointing. Just kinda want Sucker Punch to go for a new IP. Watch Dogs and The Witness are interesting, but we know that already. Killzone still looks like a pretty shooter with not much of a story. Bungie's Destiny making its appearance is a nice blow to the competitor. Other titles are so-so looking as well, but will keep an eye on them. And Diablo 3 can go screw itself - ain't falling for that a second time! Anyways, it all seem fairly decent, and I suppose there's no reason for complaint. The technology is there, and so it's simply up to the developers to put their hearts and souls into crafting true masterpieces full of creativity and sublime mechanics. Oh, and most importantly, our profile and trophies are making the leap to next-gen too! =) |
It was interesting to hear what their vision is for the PS4 - loved what I heard. Would have been nice to see more of the PS4 rather than just hear about it, but I'm sure that will come in due time. A lot of the features mentioned (like suspend/resume, play before download is complete, remote play on Vita, etc) sounded great, but I have my concerns as to whether Sony will be able to deliver on everything that was promised, especially the Gaikai features. I'm sure eventually all the features mentioned will be there, but how far after launch will we have to wait for them?
Edit: And LOL @ Square Enix. "We would like to announce that we're announcing something at E3"
