Forums - Sony - WHAT I REALISTICALLY EXPECT AND WANT ON PS4

To be honest, as much as I love Jak & Daxter, I only really love the first one. The second game was a complete chore in how it dealt with its semi-open world, not to mention the introduction of weapons absolutely ruined the charm the first game had and killed my love for it. The third game was better, but the series is now a shooter-platformer. If I liked that, I would like Ratchet and Clank more than I do.

Uncharted 4 release title=day one buy. End of.



i think it will release either Holiday 2013 or Summer 2014, maximum price $450.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I agree, but he was a cool character and has some history.

 

It would make more sense for Sanzaru to work on that IP instead of Sly. Jak was more popular and maketable.

720 and PS4 will both target between Sept-Nov 2013.

 

Anything else would be the result of huge developmental problems. 

 

 

For the record, I dont think Uncharted 4 will be a Launch title. ND is usually on a 2 year cycle, but since they need to learn new hardware, they will take an extra year.... meaning Uncharted 4 will be out 2014. One year after the PS4 is released.

 

Perfect time for a big time game to release, as the system is still new, but will have enough userbase to buy the game.

The list is pretty...good...but knowing Sony (looking at PS3/PSP launch, and how the mistakes were not learned for the PSV launch), probably only a third, if not less, will actually occur.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

ND have 2 teams now, once the TLOU team is finished early next year they could help with Uncharted 4 for a year, making development much quicker, maybe not the whole team but I', sure at least some would, especially if it's a request from Sony to have as a launch title or launch window title. Actually by Q3 this year TLOU will be at the polishing stages, so maybe some of the team will switch to Uncharted 4 that early. I think it's definitely possible, and it would be a great move for Sony. 

As would GT6, which seems very possible as it'll be 3 years since the last release when PS4 comes out, Polyphony was already working on it a couple months before GT5 came out and they said development will be quicker this time.



Back on GT, it would be an amazing launch title. It would give the PS4 a fantastic initial boost provided the price is right ($399 max for cheapest model), and there would be more than enough time for another GT on the PS4, further boosting PS4 sales and making a lot of money for Sony from the GT sales.



Come on people. Really, why does everybody want a cheap new console?
Is the 10 year lifespan too long for you?
When consoles getting cheaper initial prices they won't be able to catch up with pc graphics for a long time (i mean less time than a more expensive console).
That leads to a shorter lifetime.

I want it releasing with a 600€ pricetag. that would be 750US-$, but usually they aren't calculating the prices correctly, i.e. when we have to pay 600€ that would mean in NA about 650$.

400 Dollars is just not realistic. You won't get a machine from the future, just a cheap thing with normal pc components.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

$400 isn't cheap at all, and will provide a big jump over current gen. I don't want a $600 PS4 because I want Sony to stay in business. A $600 console would sell like pork in Baghdad, the competition would be way ahead. The Xbox 360 is on par with PS3 from a hardware perspective and it was $400 instead of $600.

$400 is incredibly realistic, $600 isn't, and anything above $600 would be suicide for any console manufacturer.
