You've seen the Kinect, its definitely more powerful than the Kinect 1, but its as far as concrete gaming is concerned its just a more powerful version of the same thing. You wont be able to control games with it, you'll still be on rails. The most you'll get out of it is a more accurate version of what you experienced this gen. Most people forget so quickly that Sony supports DRM....just not in the gaming industry. Sony saw an opening to take a lead over Microsoft, but many know that if Sony was to launch head to head with Microsoft the chances are higher that they will win. MS knows so they arent going to risk anything on any chance Microsoft has, spared no expense. Sony isnt an angel, trust me they've been through some shit but they cannot afford to piss off gamers, and the PS3 era humbled the crap out of them. Sony as a corporation has gone through enough and they do not want to rock the boat with anyone. For the two and a half years they have been solid with gamers. Microsoft doesnt need the gaming industry, but they want the greater portion marketshare Sony built. Works out better for all of us if theres competition. Problem is when it gets dirty (LOL) it really gets dirty. |
I think Kinect 2 needs to be used to SUPPLEMENT a games controls. That could be something special if they do it right. For example, twitching/leaning in a shooting game to go further behind cover, etc. It's possible with some creative minds, but the only way it would ever happen is if EVERY system had one.
Sony did play it a bit safe with PS4. I don't blame them, as it probably assures solid sales during this generation, even if they don't have the most sales. Risks are just that, risks.... I like Sony's first party offerings, and I will pick up a PS4 eventually. Same with Xbox.
As for the big announcement. Seems like a price cut is the biggest thing they could announce right now. Or a big exclusive / new title.
