I would seriously consider picking up a PS4 before KH3/FFXV if this, Crash, or Medievil reboots came out
did you seriously expect 100 AAA games ?

This is my own personal view and I admit it may be wrong/against popular opinion;
I just see them as short games to play in bursts when you have a spare 15 minutes (time is used as just an example of a short amount of time) and are over fairly quickly and give very little replay value.
I know I will have and will continue to miss out on indie gems but they simply don't interest me and when numbers like 100 are used and the percentage of indie/arcade games is unknown it will only lead to disappointment for me personally.

A DD title is still a game. I'd even argue that a number of the digital-only titles on that list will absolutely shit all over some of those retail releases in terms of fun and replay value.
You don't need a $400 console to play Don't Starve though. It's on Steam.
Is it that hard to understand why people who just bought an expensive new console with 100GB of DDR5 whatever are not as interested in games that can run on any PC?
Is it that hard to understand that those are still games even if you can play them elsewhere, even if they don't cost as much as GTA or TLoU to make? They're still games even if they don't come in a box you by on amazon or at gamestop?
Seems like it is a difficult concept for many to grasp.

I'm trying to understand the logistics of this. 100 games in 10 months?
It's halway through Feb and there are barely any games. Excuse my ignorance but are a massive chunk of these essentially going to be indie/mini/mobile style games or something?
I'm also assuming this is the US only? Because in Australia we already don't have some of the downloadables titles the US does.

Yes I do, but they don't interest me at a basic gaming need/enjoyment level.
Edit: therefore quite possibly a large percentage of this 100 games list will not interest me.
I'm also not claiming they aren't games, just they don't appeal to me.

Turns out the Wii U is saved now
By no means am I shooting down these digital titles, they'll probably be a lot more fun than the other stuff coming out cause these developers put their hearts into it. However, I want Sony to unveil the big guns and luckily we might see something by E3....
Demon's Souls 2 please.... Where are you to confirm this Demonite?!?!?!
I didn't say they aren't games.
Totally, I don't buy games unless there are atleast ten explosions, uses mo-cap and havok, have a perk system and have on-disc DLC.
100 games, just on this system!? No wonder a lot of companies are going under. How many games do we have time to play?
And I (and a lot of other people) have more than one system.
With this many games it's going to end up being a scramble to see who can market better, and who can offer their game for free (with In Game Purchases) to get people through the door.

An indie or Indies as meaty/deep/complex as The Order/Destiny/Uncharted ?
Wait...
Sony isn't releasing most of these 100 games, wise-ass. These aren't replacing inFamous and DriveClub on Sony's release calendar, don't be silly, they just ADD to what is already coming from Sony and 3rd party publishers and how anyone can find anything negative out of this piece of news is just mind-boggling.

Perhaps not but you listed the absolute top tier of AAA games. There's plenty of indies as deep and fun as your regular AAA game and for just a fraction of the price.
I find them great because they're excellent ways to fill the gaps between AAA releases

I definitely can appreciate the anticipation of seeing what Sony's first-party efforts are shaping up to be for this year. I'm just looking at that list as it currently stands and god damn there are a huge pile of games that am likely going to be playing in the next 10 months. Some seriously good stuff on that list.

the quality of the ram in the consoles i buy directly influences the games I find acceptable on it

Games are games and I am happy to have them. Indie or major they're still going to play on my system. As someone who has a laptop that I prefer not to game on, those indies are brand new games for me. Outlast didn't scare me any less because it was on PC before PS4. Don't Starve wasn't less awesome because other people played it before it came to my system. I think a lot of people get lost in the "BUT IT'S BEEN ON PC FOREVER" mindset or the "INDIE GAMES BE TRASH" thought process and forget that there are a ton of people out there who don't have PC's that can play these games.
So tired of the indies vs AAA debate when most of the games released on the majors for both next gen platforms are buggy, short, filled with unnecessary microtransations or all of the above.

The only ones that seems upset is you and two other guys, its a tweet, calm down.

100+ for 2014 vs. 120+ 'upcoming' isn't exactly the same thing...

Also, it would be really dumb.
Yeah but when we only get 3 Sony first party games out of those 100 then something is not right. Also we don't have a release date for 2 of those games.
Uncharted & likely The Order aren't that deep or complex. They are fairly straightforward and simple shooters. The only thing indies can't match is the cinematic flair/graphical quality, but for people who don't need every game to look like a summer blockbuster movie, that doesn't matter much as the gameplay can still be deeper & require more skill than highly automated games like Uncharted.
Whatever, I don't get all the indie hate. I had more fun playing through Outlast than any AAA game released on the PS4 so far. I own Don't Starve and BInding of Issac on Steam and I'm still loving DS on the PS4 and looking forward to BoI. As long as it's a good game what does it matter?

You have no idea if "The Order" is either of those things.
Between the people who are disenfranchised with AAA games, and those arguing indies shouldn't count towards a consoles number of games(?) I am confused. Looking forward to the PS4 stuff big or small, 1st party or multiplat. What's more important is how much of that 100 is worth playing here's to hoping a good amount of it.

does anyone know the budget of hotline miami 2? trying to figure out if i should be hyped or not
Doesn't make any sense to compare with Uncharted as the franchise is supposed to be linear cinematic experience.
Let me know when an indie developer will able to provide any good MP shooter, open world action-adventures or some racing action. Most people don't give a shit about indie platformers.

God Eater 2 better be one of those games. (I know it's on Vita)

How many retail? How many RPGs? How many exclusive?
I need the answers to the important questions.

Sony is still releasing around 15 games this year. The Order, MLB, DriveClub and inFamous are known retail titles and I'd wager a guess it's pretty much 100% certain they'll announce at least 1-2 more big games in the coming months for a release later this year (the rest are confirmed/possible smaller digital releases like Dead Nation 2, Rime and Hohokum). I'm fairly certain Sony Japan will have something for 2014 (I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Last Guardian get a Q4 2014 release) and probably something from 1-2 western studios as well (Media Molecule? Santa Monica? Bend? London?)
