Which is a shame because graphically it was the best thing they showed at the sony event. And Cerny is working on it. It has a better chance at being good than assassin's creed 9 or any other AAAAAA game has.

Kind of what I expected, but still, Infamous and Killzone (plus Driveclub?) on day 1 would make for a pretty awesome launch.
The diversity is great: a FPS, a racing game, a open-world-game and whatever Knack is :lol
Vita had good diversity as well and I'm glad to see that they try to continue that trend on PS4

I already thought this was the case, but nice to have official confirmation.

Besides Watch Dogs, AC4, and thief, and deep down we also have no idea what 3rd parties are up to
But I was told next gen would bring new IPs at launch
You'll have The Last Guardian also. haha

I hope the titles have good legs. Sony is prolly gonna be out of ammo for several months after that unless we get surprise Last Guardian announcement or something ridicilous.
At least 3rd party support sounds to be good enough to push Durango+PS4 in the first few months even if most titles are cross gen.

Yeah I'm preeeetty damn sure knack will be better than killzone. I'm interested in drive club, infamous and knack the most right now.
Killzone is an already tired franchise to me

I guess SCE wants to dispel the whole PS3 has no game meme with a new one for PS4; PS4 has too much game. Also a problem with the PS3 launch was launching without familiar franchises. Instead we got Resistance and Motorstorm.

So basically I'll already have a backlog at launch if true.
Sony's probably targetting inFamous and Killzone for launch, with only one being out day 1 and the other coming a few months later. Gives them some wiggle room if one needs more time.
Man, I'm going to be fucking broke after this launch no matter what. I'm already planning on four games for launch and we don't even know the whole lineup yet. This is insane. On top of that I always get a spare controller and want to get a new pair of headphones. Hopefully there's a PS4 equivalent of the Pulse Headset.

Please be true.
This would be the game to get me to buy a PS4 at launch no question.
Do it Sony, please do it. So Nate Fox doesn't go crazy.

To continue the Playstation love-in here I'll say with KZ:SF, Knack, DriveClub and Infamous looking very likely part of the launch line-up, it could indeed rank as one of the best launch line-ups in recent times (don't forget Watchdogs).

Vita had this problem. It had a GREAT launch lineup but it was so front loaded that it had the ''no games'' effect for following months even when people probably didn't take a second look at the launch lineup.
It is much better strategy to have a constant stream of releases than have insane amount of releases on launch and go to the Wii U mode afterwards. Launch titles tend to get buried under the best launch titles and kinda be ''forgotten''.

Well I always assumed I'd be getting this along with my PS4. It's been a while since Infamous 2 so Sucker Punch will have had plenty of time to get this finished by launch.

I recently played through KZ3 for the first time (I've owned it for quite a while, just never got around to it). After all the comments about how it's a much worse game than KZ2 I didn't expect very much, but man, I thought it was a pretty damn great FPS. And I'm generally not much of an FPS fan. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to KZ:SF.

If this is true, Ill be there day 1.
Indeed. People say that it looks too basic but what's funny is I've been replaying the original Spyro, a game that is about as basic as it gets, and it's still just pure fun.
Yeah. Maybe Sony should target relase of Second Son for EU launch. I also think that EU would riot if US got Drive Club before them.
Its gonna be an interesting launch no matter what happens.

-COD
+
Unannounced titles
Jesus Christ.
-Watch Dogs
-Driveclub
-Killzone: Shadow Fall
-Assassin's Creed 4
-Knack
-Infamous: Second Son (strong possibility)

-Battlefield 4
-COD
+
Unannounced titles

Well if the game will be released at launch it's been in development for 2,5 years. Sounds reasonable to me. Also given the fact that the studio expanded since inFamous 2 (back then around 70 employees). Now they have over 100.

Sony's in an amazing position to have a steady flow of titles over the course of their first year. Their studios have been working on PS4 projects for a while now since mant have split into two teams. If all of them elease a game every couple of months they could potentially have a couple big excuisives every quarter until 2015 and by then the second teams could be gearing up to have games ready. It's really exciting and I hope they can pull it off.
And surely a slew of indie games on PSN as well, like The Witness.
inFAMOUS is one of my favorite new IPs of this generation. If Second Son is a launch title, well, dammit, I'm getting a PS4 on launch.
Basically Killzone, inFAMOUS, and Watch Dogs are pushing me to get a PS4. inFAMOUS is a system seller for me. Honestly, those three are enough to warrant me picking up a PS4, even though I usually try to wait for 5 or more games before I take the plunge, but I'd probably buy one if only Second Son was a launch title.
All I know is that I can't wait to go to E3 this year. I'm all set and ready to go, and the convention center is within walking distance of my apartment.

Sounds brilliant if true. Let them confirm Versus or Last Guardian for 2014 and itll be one of the best launch windows for a console.
One of the best promos in a long time.
My wallet is already crying, but I plan to pay on the system and some games as the year progresses, so that will ease the pain. Will need at least two games at launch.

Also for what its worth Sony has higly likely been working on Planetside 2 for PS4 for a while now but as a F2P title it is a lil different.

The two situations aren't comparable at all I'd say.
Sony had a handful of studios working on Vita projects. Obviously every single studio is already working on something for the PS4 or will be pretty soon.
I'm betting PS2 will be preloaded on every PS4 so they can put a "comes with a game" tag on it.
SP said that the combat section of the trailer was gameplay with more cinematic camera angles.
