I don't we'll see a lot games either tbh.

Sony's focus in this event will be more about the hardware than the software. I think we'll see a few first party titles and a third party montage.

This. I dont take this guy seriously anymore after some recent tweets related to Playstation. He may be fine when treating other matters as journalist but he seems biased when this is the case. I may be wrong though.
Dude grow up.

Gies has been adamant that Durango >>> Orbis.

If you followed the spec threads you can tell the guy has a agenda and not a whole lot of it is substantiated by any facts.

I only look back at them every so often so I probably missed most of his posts, ah well.

Anyway, I do expect/hope that we hear some proper OS details... seeing the OS itself in action wouldn't go amiss either but I'd except some concrete details at least.
 
I seriously doubt it. I just don't see Sony really forcing Naughty Dog to do another Uncharted game if they don't want to.

I think it will be Uncharted related, but ND may change the formula, like maybe prequel starring young Nathan and Sully with some new gameplay twist to change things up, they may even change the title into something else.

I was actually thinking the other day about a PS4 uncharted where you play a young Sully.
 
lol Aeigies seems very mature to me and above this console war bs. Just cause he first heard durango was better then orbis doesn't make him a fanboy. Sweetvar said the same thing. I've heard so many rumours from different sources that durango is better. It's only been very recently that people are changing their vibe towards orbis because of new information.

I'm very confident we'll atleast see whatever new IP Guerilla is cooking up. I am also expecting something from Evolution. 3rd parties will probably show something off too, whether those are more than glorified tech demos/logos remains to be seen.

When/if they show off that UI, i wanna go "FUUUUUCK!!! LOOK AT THAT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, IT'S... FUUUUCK!!".

And i will now all is good and a pre-order is a given.
 
I hope we see a new IP revealed. I'm sure Uncharted and GT will look icredible on the new console...but...I'd like to totally see something new on Wednesday.

Just curious but was the PS Meeting 2011 as hyped as this one? I don't remember hearing much about the meeting at the time.

Hmm, from GAF members there was a good amount of hype, but from the media and Sony's own marketing... no, this is much bigger.

I think you'll see a lot saved for E3 this time. It makes more sense in terms of scale and public perception.

I think we see a couple of games but the highlight of the event will be the hardware and I think the emphasis will be on the controller. E3 will be the time for 3rd party and software.

No. He went on a small tirade in an older thread that amounted to 'Sony is incompetent' thus he is not above his bias even if he is above console warz.

I was actually hoping for young Nathan Drake personally, young Sully as main character will play almost exactly the same as Nathan Drake. while younger Drake where he still isn't used to gun may offer more new gameplay changes like more focus for solving puzzles and sneaking around instead of shooting.

Thanks, guess Sonys marketing is better then. (or they figure a home console reveal is worth more than revealing a hand held console)

On the bright side, people can now use the word "PS4" (or whatever it's called) for any games they plan to put on it instead of "Next Generation consoles" or anything like that.

It's funny though, Sony doesn't even have to show much of anything if they tell gamers exactly what they want to hear. That will make or break this PlayStation meeting. Info on the controller, info on BC, info on the specs and hints at launch titles.

What or who is your source? Arthur Gies? :)

I think there will be less games than at the PSV meeting.

We'll see a Guerilla Games game I think. And Sony's famous wall with logos. ;-)

No I meant sources that we have seen like karak, sweetvar, bgassasin, aiegies and whatever else. From all the rumours and leaks for the longest time it pointed that Durango was better. Even a pastebin piece said orbis was a 200$ e machine piece of crap. Everything pointed to ps4 being shit and you know this.

Now that we got an update. It's looking to be the other way around which is great although I would prefer both consoles to have 3+ Tf gpus for future proofing but that much doesn't seem likely.
 
There might not be a lot of third party games but they have to show some type of support from them. Show a few now and save the rest for E3. Better to do it now than let MS steal them all at their event and E3. Which we know is going to happen anyway.

If that's what you want to believe, sure. I've never read such rumours or "facts" for that matter.

No. There are posters on this very forum that said that the 1.84TF and 4GB RAM numbers were goals months before we heard rumors. The information we had was incomplete. You're being reductionist.
 
People in the know have already said that we shouldn't be expecting Sony to show their full hand here. They're obviously going to put a big focus on the tech and what the system can do (like Gaikai) in order to get that info out the way before E3. But they also know that they have to at least show enough games to keep the excitement for the system at a high. They saw how Nintendo handled the Wii U's unveiling, where all eyes were on them and they just didn't have enough to show to keep that momentum. Sony can't afford to have the same thing happen to them since MS is going to be hot on their heels with the announcement of the next Xbox.
 
I don't expect much in the way of games. They may show two or three first party trailers and they'll likely show a third party game. It will mainly be about the controller, the system itself, some features, and maybe even the OS.

If I were Sony, I'd have a software blowout on the same day Microsoft shows their new console.

I was hoping that we'd get 2.5 TFlops in both. But at this point that is not going to happen. :p

I don't even know where to start and don't know where you've been but the level of delusion in your posts is pretty impressive. Orbis has been rumored to be more powerful than Durango for a while now.

None of those sources knew much about Sony to begin with expect maybe sweetvar .
Any way i expect to see maybe 3 or 4 games and some trailers there still a good while to go .

I'm not expecting too much but a couple of high profile third party and 2-3 first party IPs should at least be there IMO.

I think we'll see quite a few first party games also because they need them to showcase the console's new features.
Telling people they have a new controller has no value if they can't get people excited about it, showing concrete examples of how it works and why it's great. I mean that's the whole sense behind the presentation.
Third parties is more complicated, they work with their own schedule and I guess that we'll see different situations, those announcing just support, those making just a technological engine demo (Epic? Square Enix?) leaving games announcement for E3 and those who could be ready to announce new games.

I don't get the point of announcing early, but not showing any games. Sure you get all the attention, but it will turn to negative attention very quickly.
You don't want peolple coming out of this event waiting for the Xbox reveal.

Are we entering the "do not expect that much" mode now, three days before the event? Previously people have been expecting lots of games and third parties being there... :)

But I guess it's a sane thing to do after all.
