Hope this is uk date. Birthday is 20th and due to go on holiday on 21st... Go get dat midnight opening!

 

[Hrothgar]

Which region does this information cover? US or EU?

 

[kaskade]

I hope it's true. I feel like it would be a smart move for Sony either way. They have the 100 less price and a first release. That's a nice head start for them.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Do we know what country the rumor is coming out of? I must have missed it if we do know.

It's out of North America. Canada and the U.S. share release schedules.

 

[honorless]

Since it's being listed as an entirely new Sony system, wouldn't that significantly lower the chances that it's a Vita redesign? Just wondering...

I always look for thrustworthy inside information in Tales from my ass threads.

...I suppose that would be a good place to look for that sort of thing.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Launch edition paid off already on amazon and it would be great in october.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

I hope it's not the 12GB PS3... :/

It's not. This is out on this Sunday.

 

[skads_187]

same here, lets hope its true!

 

[BRocknRolla]

Thanks!

 

[KAL2006]

So for launch we have
Killzone Shadowfall
Knack
Drive Club

8 days later the following release
Assassins Creed 4
Battlefield 4
FIFA 14

A week later
COD Ghosts

Then later in Nov
Watchdogs

 

[coughlanio]

I'll put money on Europe being first this time around.

 

[Officerrob]

I hope it's true, but it just seems too soon

 

[Skeff]

Hope this is uk date. Birthday is 20th and due to go on holiday on 21st... Go get dat midnight opening!

No midnight launches in uk if that's the case, pretty sure sunday trading laws run from 10pm saturday to 6am monday or something stupid, of course this only matters to larger stores, however their are alot of regulations regarding being able to refuse to work on sundays, increased wages etc.

The only midnight launches would probably be small independent shops, so not game or tesco or asda or anywhere like that.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good, the sooner that platform of awesomeness comes out, the better.

Bring on the Sony Playstation 4™

 

[Darklor01]

I don't know, the earlier posted article where PS4 passed through the FCC was for the US version.

 

[Rhindle]

Not buying this as a PS4 launch date.

I don't see them launching in advance of COD, Assassins' Creed and Watch Dogs. There would be nothing on the shelves to buy with the system.

In theory, they could try persuade publishers to pull forward release dates ahead of current gen releases, but I don't see that happening.

 

[casmith07]

Exactly. Get the hardcore fans out of the way in October, then in November, the word of mouth and advertising gets kicked into overdrive, ship everything they got for the holidays... my god it would be perfect.

I think it's realistic.

 

[MoneyHats]

I'm still hoping for 9/9/2013.

Playstation 9/9/1995
Dreamcast 9/9/99
Playstation 4 9/9/2013

 

[illmatic22]

I want to believe.

 

[Dunlop]

Killzone Shadowfall
Knack

Battlefield 4

Watchdogs

Launching with only 3 games would be bizarre.

The game I would mostly likely get is Watchdogs so I am good for a Nov release

 

[Liquidsnake]

I still think it will be in Nov. and it will be one week in front of or one week after Xbox.

I hope I am wrong.

 

[R-User!]

I like this info that came from Kneel and Lick her's post in the Tail's from my Ass IV Thread.

Spoiler

Tale=Tail=Ass=Kneel and Lick Her Tail from his Ass=October 21st is the PS4 Release Date!!!...

Spoiler

sorry... too many accidental sexually suggestive double entendres to resist.

And I know it makes no sense.

You need to talk to all those 24 hr supermarkets.

Edit: And just about everyone working in retail has their working week listed as Monday to Sunday to avoid the Sunday working laws.

 

[Skeff]

Well it would be 3 retail games, there'd be more digital games I'm sure, playroom is already installed on the hdd.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Playstation 9/9/1995
Dreamcast 9/9/99
Playstation 4 9/9/2013

Hah, no way it's happening.

I'd love a september launch tho.

Still... the launch lineup is so weak. I mean don't get me wrong, I am tired of this gen and can't wait for new hardware but oh sheesh talk a bunch of crappy games in there.

 

[Paganmoon]

Killzone Shadowfall
Knack

Don't forget EA's cross-gen games released in Aug/Sep, like Madden, FIFA, NHL, they'll probably be available on launchday.

No. Ubisoft has said Watch Dogs will be there whenever the PS4 releases, as has DICE and a few other developers with regards to their next gen games.

Current gen/PC launch dates =/= next gen launch dates.

An example:

Watch Dogs will release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii U on November 22, and be available at the launch of PlayStation 4, Ubisoft has announced.

[Krakn3Dfx]

Killzone, Knack, DriveClub, DCUO, Warframe, Retribution, possibly Outlast.

Doesn't seem like there would be a lack of playable titles.

 

[JORMBO]

So close. I hope that is true.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I need to take about 4 days off during launch. I hope it is the 21st and they announce it as Gamescon so I put in for those days off at work.

 

[Bluforce]

All I know is GTA V next month then PS4 the month after!? This is gaming heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And GTA V on PS4 in November or December.

Believe

 

[Mokubba]

They might try to push the F2P games like Warframe but yea still weird. I'm expecting more stuff at Gamescom though.

 

[Skeff]

You need to talk to all those 24 hr supermarkets.

the ones that shut 10pm on a saturday and open 6am on a monday? i think they already know.

24hour means their open from 6am monday to 10pm saturday.

 

[Maxxan]

For the record, how likely is it that Sony announces the release date at Gamescom? Is it more or less a fact?

 

[Moosehole]

I would be totally ok with this. Not too early, not too late, and assuming Xbone is still slated for November it would be out first.

Hope this turns out to be truth.

 

[KAL2006]

Perhaps Sony want to give Killzone a chance instead of going head to head against Battlefield 4 and COD. Also most people will have the free version of Drive Club and can upgrade for a cheaper price for full version. I also think FIFA and Madden will make it for launch.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

For the record, how likely is it that Sony announces the release date at Gamescom? Is it more or less a fact?

I think the pressure is on for both consoles to get a release date at Gamescom, so pretty good at this point. both will show up with a date just in case the other announces.

 

[Skeff]

For the record, how likely is it that Sony announces the release date at Gamescom? Is it more or less a fact?

I'd say 90% in my opinion.

 

[uncharted86]

For the record, how likely is it that Sony announces the release date at Gamescom? Is it more or less a fact?

I would think so. Waiting for TGS late September seems a bit late to announce it.

 

[Mifune]

Two days after my wedding. That's one crazy month.

 

[BigJonsson]

Great, October 21 would be awesome


I think I pre-ordered too many games this fall though......even without the PS4 lol

Stop, this is all false. Another quote, this time about Battlefield. Again, a vast majority of the cross gen titles have a set current gen/PC release, while being a launch title for the next gen systems. (whenever those dates are)

At around 09:10 you will hear the presenter ask the developer when will the game be launched and to my surprise the dev let loose that whilst the exact date for the release of the next-gen consoles has not been confirmed Battlefield 4 will be there for all us gamers when they are

http://trutechnoid.com/2013/06/15/battlefield-4-to-be-64-players-and-launch-title-for-next-gen-consoles/

Here's AC4:

Game director Ashraf Ismail announced the news in an interview with ElderGeek, confirming that Assassin's Creed 4 "will release when the [next-gen] consoles are available.

[Lunzio]

Perfect to me

 

[fantomena]

Please be true. My money is ready.

 

[storybook77]

Don't forget EA's cross-gen games released in Aug/Sep, like Madden, FIFA, NHL, they'll probably be available on launchday.

NHL is next year.

Madden, NBA Live, and FIFA are launch titles. NBA 2k14 is also a launch title.

I wouldn't take any of this so literally. These things are always subject to change, especially around console launches.

 

[ElTorro]

If true, hopefully Amazon sends out the first packages early enough for the weekend before the official launch day.

 

[RoKKeR]

I wouldn't take any of this so literally. These things are always subject to change, especially around console launches.

Why not? I can just keep linking these stories, the devs are all saying the same thing.

Call of Duty: Ghosts will be releasing on the Wii U and will also be a next-gen launch title, executive producer Mark Rubin said in an interview with GameSpot.

http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/12/4423032/call-of-duty-ghosts-coming-to-wii-u-is-a-next-gen-launch-title

Launch title means launch title, and I doubt any of these huge, AAA games are going to slip or miss the PS4's or Xbox One's launch date.
