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

Haha, holy shit. Pick your words better, mort. Not delays to games, delays to announcements of games. I'm going to write up a longer explanation now. Don't fret guys. It's not bad. It's actually good, if you're sony... but not so much if you're wanting to devour as much info as possible.

Jesus I was going to rage and then I read this post, damn.

You guys worry too much. If you're expecting them to announce Uncharted 4 already... well don't. They're probably saving it for the VGAs.
Gamescom for the past couple years has been a bit better than E3 - especially in terms of pacing. You should at least expect that much.
 
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.

If I'm remembering right, the discussion centered around how inefficient their Japanese studios have been. While teams like Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch are churning out hits, Polyphony took forever to get a proper GT on PS3 and we're still waiting for The Last Guardian. Someone's gotta crack the whip.

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.

God. Fucking. Damn. It.
 
Random aside: I've never really gotten why that clapping gif is used so often as an expression of approval, considering the context its from?

The last three Naughty Dog games have been announced there, so yeah..... Its about what I expect.

I still don't feel better. WHY DON'T I FEEL BETTER??

I still don't understand it though LOL. Where does 'tub' come into it?

That first dude just randomly referenced it, and it suddenly caught fire.

...and the 3DS and the Wii U and the Xbox One.

The PS4 is the first no bullshit, nothing-but-awesome console we've had in a while. Any negatives right now feel major, no matter how small. Don't ruin perfection. :'-(

I was actually lurking when it happened. The first response was a genuine comment by a user saying he was going to watch it in the tub. The next response and many more following Yes, And-ed it and -voila- a meme born organically before our eyes.

I expect at least one big studio announcement for PS4. Either from Santa Monica or Media Molecule or even Guerilla Games other team. As for other announcements it's probably more on games we know about, PSN games and a casual game.

I like you, kittens. We think alike on this issue. Perhaps I'll blow you a kiss now.

Perhaps.

I'm really curious about that one. I'm hoping from some gems at or near launch. Preferably something light hearted, with same screen multiplayer. I want to play my PS4 with my real life friends!

So true. A ripple of negativity feels like waves, even if that negativity is pure speculation.

Sony will win this war.

I keep reading this kind of comment and thinking there should be one of those dotted up marketing maps of the world showing the areas where PS4 wins, Xbox One wins, and that small set of islands where Wii U won.

What cracks me up is the speed and ferocity with which the haters jump onto any rumored bad news, only to be roundly laughed at when the rumor turns out to be false (See: The 3.5GB of RAM to OS rumor and the recent "Sony wants to steal indie IPs" rumor).

I've been really rooting for MM's 3D user creation focused title (I really think what they showed in February is the path they're going) to be shown proper at Gamescom. A surprise new game would be sweet as well. So really I just want one new first-party announcement at Gamescom for PS4. That would be enough. Uncharted definitely makes sense for the VGAs.
