Support NeoGAF

[Vic20]

Let's hope that if they do pull a Saturn, they won't pull a Sega and fail to mention the surprise launch to its partners.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

The problem is that Sony decided to go out and publish a date, which are in some ways meaningless, because this isn’t like 1990.

 

[flyingmonkeywhoa]

i still need to finish most of these!

How have you not finished Dark Souls and The Witcher 2 yet?....Get off of GAF and get back in front of your TV and finish both of them

 

[Napalm_Frank]

The hell is wrong with Op not telling us with Gamescon 2013 is..

Haha, right? I had to look it up.

C'mon guys. This is GAF. You should have the date marked in your calendar.

But FINE I'll edit it in the OP

 

[cLOUDo]

no way they go after microsoft

I say late october/really early november.

if that were the case, it would be announced at E3
would be the final K.O to microsoft

 

[Noisepurge]

TOO BAD MOTHERFUCKER!

No seriously, better get cracking then!

i'm cracking! i just have a bad habit of buying new games on top of this pile! just spent like 20 hours on Far Cry 3...'

My internet connection has been really spotty this year, hate playing it when i keep getting disconnected and losing all progress :/

 

[Azull]

Echoing october.

 

[maltrain]

Why use that gun when they won with the price and the not-DRM speech?

Now, they have another big gun, the launch date, for Gamescon.

And new games, of course, since they've only show 5 from 20 for the first year.

 

[RdN]

It's completely expected though, right?

I believe Microsoft will do the same.

 

[Joeki11a]

October 29, 2013

Do it Sony.

This

 

[Sid]

Hopefully it's mid October.

i still need to finish most of these!

Nice collection,get to Dark Souls first,play it offline since you have a spotty net connection.

they already had the KO at E3, can't waste em all.

 

[maltrain]

Microsoft gave the launch date already: November 21.

 

[robertsan21]

They need to launch in October! We can´t give those fucking traitors over at MS to get a head start.

 

[storybook77]

Microsoft gave the launch date already: November 21.

Damn, I missed that. Link?

 

[kittens]

Microsoft gave the launch date already: November 21.

No, they just said "November".

 

[devonraynor]

can't be soon enough!

 

[cLOUDo]

true, but still think that will be launched after xbone

 

[Napalm_Frank]

You guys keep saying October, but you have to think about the launch titles as well. They need to actually finish the damn games. For one, Drive Club, during some interview at E3 the guy said they still had 6-7 months to ship, which definitely isn't October, lol.

Hmmmmmmmm

Conspiracy time: Drive Club PS+ edition is the only version available at launch. Apparently it seems to be the least polished launch game they have so theyll release a ''prologue version'' with just some of the finished tracks, cars and whatever. Real game+the digital update for PS+ edition release in December.

Tho actually is October release even possible? Haven't we heard that Watch Dogs would be a launch title and Amazon is selling a launch day bundle with it and the game releases in November... Unless Sony moneyhatted timed exclusivity :lol.

 

[flyingmonkeywhoa]

Could they realistically release the console on October 29th? I mean assuming the launch titles have gone gold, and what happens to all the preordered bundles with games like "Watch_Dogs" and AC4 in them?

Also Drive Club is apparently only 35% complete

 

[jony_m]

release on my bday, oct 29

 

[Interfectum]

Also Drive Club is apparently only 35% complete

The E3 build was. Not the entire game prolly.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It's going to be in the last week of October.

 

[maltrain]

Damn, I missed that. Link?

No, they just said "November".

I think if they can they will. I'm sure Ubisoft's partnership with them could make that happen, both games should be gold by then.

I think Evolution was showing an early build of Drive Club, sounds like they were farther along with the actual game.

10/29 is only a week or 3 from where we'd expect the PS4 to drop, so I don't imagine it's impossible for them to go that route.

[IcyEyes]

October.

Thanks!

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Well... I leave you this from Reddit:



LOL if it's true... XD

That's a crazy ass coincidence if that math really works out. Who the fuck had time to figure that out, though?!

I'd love for them to release it at the end of October but not at the expense of having to rush their launch titles to market and have them suffer in the process for it, but yeah I'm not sure how crucial 3 weeks is to a big developer.

[schwabdizzle]

October 29th or Nov 5th.

 

[ascii42]

That's a crazy ass coincidence if that math really works out. Who the fuck had time to figure that out, though?!

It's a quadratic function. Finding a quadratic function given 3 points is Algebra II material, I think. Why someone would think to try that? You got me.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

well, if Gamescom is scheduled for late August, then they better be announcing the damn date.

 

[Bad_Boy]

im betting on november. id rather have october though but launch games need final polish.

 

[FunnyBunny]

Let it be October.

Yes.

I can take a day off in October. Not November.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

im betting on november. id rather have october though but launch games need final polish.

It would be a week or two difference anyway so the games would be pretty much the same.

 

[Bad_Boy]

It would be a week or two difference anyway so the games would be pretty much the same.

a lot of bugs could be fixed in 2 weeks.

I don't know where Gamasutra got that info, but nothing official has been announced yet.

 

[IdiotMyshkin]

I hope they pull a Saturn and it arrives on my doorstep coinciding with the announcement.

Saturn did that? Oh my lands, if

 

[flyinpiranha]

September.

I will be too busy with GTA V. October would be perfect.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

August 25th release.

How cool would it be to be watching the conference and hear - "the ps4 will be to store shelves today for purchase"

 

[storybook77]

It would be stupid to pull a Saturn on the people who have already preordered. Not everyone can pull $399 (or $299 if you preordered from a store that required a deposit) out of thin air!

 

[EVIL]

Please do a Saturn

IN STORES NOW!

this would be amazing, beating MS by months

 

[BobTheFork]

That seems like a long ways away to announce it.

 

[kittens]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense with the PS4. It's a totally different situation than what Sega had with the Saturn.

 

[LAA]

Was hoping for the release date to be revealed before august...
Hopefully at the end of July at the most...

I would so love if they announced "It'll arrive in stores... NOW", ha ha, that'd be amazing, I just imagine everyone in the audience running off to the nearest store, ha ha.

I pretty much want a PS4 ASAP, and if they can get it in stores before Microsoft... yet another nail to XBone's coffin, but even if it wasnt, I'd still wait for you PS4...

 

[Kyoufu]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense with the PS4. It's a totally different situation than what Sega had with the Saturn.

It didn't make sense with Saturn either. Sega were drunk.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Sorry folks, but my energy is dedicated to hoping for a November 10th Release. That's my birfdayyy

 

[PlanetSmasher]

It didn't make sense with Saturn either. Sega were drunk.

Not to mention I don't think it's even remotely feasible for Sony to pull a stunt like that without it leaking ahead of time.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Also Drive Club is apparently only 35% complete

6 days a week/20 hour work days incoming!
