Sony's Gamescom Media Briefing On "Release Plans for PlayStation 4"

It blew me away when IGN's Colin Moriarty pointed out on Podcast Beyond that Naughty Dog was able to put out the amazing Uncharted trilogy and the incredible The Last of Us before Team Ico (part of SCEJ) has been able to complete one damn game.

Insane.
Japanese developers are maddeningly slow. We should be on Persona 6 by now.

To be fair I think Team Ico is a small team, especially compared to ND

but yea they are inefficient as hell. But I feel that with the new management at SCEJ is doing a good job of turning things around
 
October makes almost too much sense.
Release with all the multiplats.
Have the launch honeymoon lead into Black Friday which leads into December holiday shopping.

It's an apples and oranges comparison though. Naughty Dog is literally 10 to 15 times bigger, iirc, than Team Ico. Doesn't excuse their lack of output and inefficiency though.

Sad but true, I really wish they'd address that, it's frustrating as heck watching SCEJ being their weakest and seemingly little attempt at revamping it, when it should be a strength.

HD development caught them off guard and they're only catching up recently. Hopefully they can turn it around and deliver for PS4.
 
Ueda signed a new contract and the last guardian is moving again, as a ps4 game.


Everything I've heard this week has been bad news in terms of announcements. Everything is getting pushed back. I'll explain why later... I'm about to leave work.

My stomach dropped. Don't tell me that, Famous! :(

...I guess it's better to temper expectations now than crush hopes later. That's what they say, anyway.



Do they say that? Has anyone ever said that?

I wouldn't worry too much. There's never been anything confirmed about dates so as long as you keep your expectations tempered, you will be happy come next week as there will be much more clarity than there is now.

So Ueda is going to be a Sony employee even after TLG is finished?

That's good news...he seems like a great creative director...but production manager? Very poor.
 
Honestly this is kinda why I don't bother with putting any excitement or disappointment in 'insiders' info. This actually means nothing to us as people who don't know what was going to be shown before. I am definitely looking forward to the explanation, but it's gonna be what it's gonna be, and they're hyping it up.

It's still gon' be fun"

I was expecting some new announcements at Gamescom.

I don't see that as an impossibility. The focus will be launch though. I just don't think there's anything that's been said that will mislead anyone into thinking things are getting pushed back so Sony hasn't backed themselves into a corner.

All I need for the rest of the year is a release date and some BF4 in sweet, sweet 60 fps.

If it's just pushing back announcements, whatever, not a big deal. Honestly, all I want from Gamescom is the launch date so I can start planning.

Everything pushed back, to playstation blog and playstation access the day after of course, so they can announce half life 3 and shenmue 3 as launch title with a 20 minute trailer each and then 20 minutes of Jack Tretton listing all of the places the PS4 will be launching....Tomorow! before throwing the mic over his shoulder and doing a dance number with that girl from the gif earlier katee whatever her name was.

I'm lying.
 
The easiest way to announce something is with CG clips, but my guess is Sony are uber-paranoid about showing CG clips, for reasons 1) because of the PS3 launch and 2) because they don't effectively show the difference between the One and PS4 games.

Getting so freaking hyped!

Also... I REALLY have to speed it up on my backlog! :|

Lol. I hear ya. I still have to bother to finish ACIII. I mean it's not really good, but, I did pay for it. Just seems rather hard to want to bother.

Unfortunate to hear this, but I'm glad The Last Guardian is back on track.

Thankfully, it sounds like it is solidifying my justification for a PS4 purchase in late 2014.
