It was a decent presentation IMO. Got to the point, and showed some solid looking games. Another gaming console from Sony that will have 3rd party games and solid first party efforts.

Will that be enough to make Ps4 number 1 entertainment device in your living room? I don't think so... After a few years on the market, games are hardly system sellers and you need another angle to grow sales year over year.

To be honest, I don't see Microsoft, Google or Apple even flinching after this presentation. I mean all Microsoft has to do is give the next xbox PVR and cable box capabilities and bundle it with cable over IP subscriptions with Comcast, Time warner or any other cable provider... $199 for 3 year cable/xbox live subscription and they will outsell the PS4.

So basically Microsoft has to show no games and they will win? 

The future of gaming is fucked.


It really is if you see the future of gaming as hardcore games. This gen showed that you can have amazing core games but get totally outsold by a console appealing to a new market.  Good core games are a check box on a console but the ecosystem battle and war for livingroom control is the next step.

Also keep in mind that most of the stuff shown today will be multiplatform. Hell Watch Dogs was just announced for Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and WiiU. Developers can't afford to develop these types of games for one console that will sell betweenn 5-10 million consoles its first year.

Knack, Killzone, inFamous, the Witness and Drive Club are exclusive to PS4. So, most of the stuff shown are not multi platform. Nice try though =)


Yeah Im not stupid. I'm talking about the slew of games that took up the last 30 minutes. Everyone knows those games you listed are sony exclusives and if you think those games will sell more PS4 consoles than a multiplat Call of Duty or new Madden with awesome console exclusive sharing featues... I wish you good luck.

You aren't stupid yet you said the majority of the games announced are multiplatform, I showed you otherwise. Argument over.

I want a PS4 for the multiplats that won't make it to Wii U...

I'm I the only one who noticed that when the Killzone demo became playable the whole city was hidden behind smoke.

I was pretty content, Infamous and Killzone sold the PS4 to me(hopefully their launch titles)

Edit: also we got to remember that we still have E3/Gamescom/TGS for sony to give more and show more for the PS4, they can't put everthing in one showing

Such a presentation is done like a stripper is doing their show

Just show a little bit...then tease with nice stuff(KZ4)...go back to a little bit less appealing and so on till the show is over or you are out of money.
Then at the next show you get to see more....At E3 they will go naked and dance on your face.

Yeah it was pretty average. Not underwhelmed, I don't know what to think, but...meh. Sums it up perfectly. Dragged on a bit.

Though, what were people expecting from a system reveal?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

What Mark Rein said in GT post show - that self-publishing they mentioned on PSN can be really big thing.
