There is no doubt that Sony's PS4AllAccess event on the 14th is a genius marketing move. grabbing all the attention of the media and gamers right at launch is pure genius. it will help push those who are on the fence about either the PS4 or the xbox one to get the PS4, it would also cause a lot of gamers excited about the PS4 to make an impulse buy in the coming days. So here is what i think Sony should and shouldnt do at the event.
Don't make it ALL about indies!
- Indies are great, i love indie games. Limbo and Bastion are games that i love very much. But to grab peoples attention and get people talking and extra hyped they need the big AAA games to be present. indies should be at the event, but it shouldnt dominate it like it did with gamescom.
Show a lot of stuff
- "you dont say" is what i am expecting all of you to be saying now. its obvious sony should announce a lot of stuff during the show, and its every gamers wet dream that they announce AAA game after AAA game, but we know that wont be the case. Best case scenario (atleast the way i see it) is that we get three big game announcements from three big studios. while that would be awesome, that shouldnt be it. Sony should start announcing announcments like Journey and sound shapes coming to the PS4. then show Some gameplay from other indie games like hell divers and rime. then announce a few indie games, show new gameplay of infamous with new powers and new DriveClub gameplay, then start with the big stuff. Show a lot of content, even if there isnt a lot of huge AAA games to be shown.
- Dont give promises, just give us confirmed info
Back in E3 some dude from the Sony pictures (i think) came out and talked about how PS4 will get some exclusive content blah blah blah. nobody really cared, it was just promises without any content really announced, and while im sure those promises are coming true down the line, we really have no confimred data to even try get excited about. if you are gonna talk about features or content coming to the PS4, make sure you can confirm when its coming, confirm what is coming and be able to show it and make it look awesome. Promises doesnt excite much and it will only be a drag during the event.
- Dont show watch dogs or any other 3rd party game we seen a lot.
For the love of god do not show us watch dogs. we seen that at the PS4 reveal, E3 and gamescom. enough is enough! we get it, its coming to the PS4 and it looks great but gosh we got bored of seeing it over and over again. same goes for any 3rd party game we seen a lot. Show us gameplay from a game we barely know nothing about or never seen gameplay before. a new trailer of kingdom hearts for example, but not a game we seen billions of times.
- dont focus to much on multiplat games
Make this event about exclusive PS4 games. games and content you cant get any where else. make people hyped about the PS4 and only the PS4. Dont get me wrong, atleast one big third party game should be announced there, just dont make it about multiplat games.
- Announce Naughty Dog, Epic games or Sony Santa Monica's new game
These three studios are HUGE. and any game from them will get people talking and hyped. i know Epic games arent confirmed to be working with sony (on either multiplat or exclusive games) but its been hinted that they will be at the event. an announcement from either of these studios can make the event go from "meh" to "fucking awesome".
Show The Order 1886 gameplay
- Its about time we see gameplay of this game, we got screen shots, dev dairies and an awesome trailer. but we havent seen the game in action and its about time we do. and if there is a multiplayer aspect, just confirm that there is one.
- Give us Infamous and DriveClub release dates.
Killzone seems awesome, knack looks promising and Rusogun is looking outstanding. but gamers want to know whats coming next, giving them release dates for Infamous and DriveClub will assure them that games are coming and coming soon. It would be great if they announce the release date of The order 1886 as well, or atleast give is a time frame for release.
thats all i can think of now, i might add some stuff later.
