Support NeoGAF

[Loudninja]

Games like GOW4, Littlebigplanet karting are pretty much certain at this point.

Not sure about Syphon Filter 4 or Sony Smash brothers or what ever its call.

 

[BassForever]

Expect new PS3 games and new ports of PS3 games for Vita

 

[prwxv3]

They could do the MS way and rely on 3rd party. Move all of their studios to PSV/PS4 development

Sony tend to try to end their consoles with a bang. I guess the Last of Us is one of those games. God of War 4 could be one of those games too.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Announcements? Sony is DOOMED.

 

[Huff]

Sony tend to try to end their consoles with a bang. I guess the Last of Us is one of those games. God of War 4 could be one of those games too.

We usually know more about their line up for their next 6 - 8 months than we do now. Don't we?

 

[mugurumakensei]

Probably bought Nintendo.

Nah, Nintendo bought Sony so it could get into the Android market, and this guy is happy to work with Miyamota on Angry Koopaz.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is Sony Smash Brothers a thing?

If so, announce it please.

 

[Takao]

Expect new PS3 games and new ports of PS3 games for Vita

I just told you in another that Sony has never ported a PS3 game to Vita.

 

[TTP]

I've heard Datura (Plastic/Santa Monica Studios Move game) will also be there in some form. That's one of the games I'm mostly curious about.

 

[StealthGoblin]

It would be nice if Sly Cooper 4 released on PS3 and Vita, with the Vita version having some really cool 'expert modes' added for extra challenge.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Can't he be a little bit more specific?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Can't he be a little bit more specific?

Indeed, this could literally be anything.

 

[RoboPlato]

I hope it's more than just the Vita stuff.

 

[Always-honest]

Insanely fun online dancing game blowout!!!

 

[Yjynx]

Some of them could be Vita related stuff.

 

[newjeruse]

Boy, that sounds like a thrilling swan song for PS3.

 

[TTP]

I hope it's more than just the Vita stuff.

Me too. I'm surprised about how little I care about anything Vita myself.

 

[Oppo]

Yeah and it's making online communication even sloppier. This is a former BBC editor and he writes "taking" instead of "talking"? #uncool

Oh c'mon. AutoCorrect gets even the best of us sometimes.

 

[injurai]

Sony is going back to its roots to create Sake.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

I just told you in another that Sony has never ported a PS3 game to Vita.

Exactly why they are due to announce some at GDC.

I'm curious to see what Sony is planning to announce.

 

[AranhaHunter]

So will the games/features announced at GDC == the games/features announced at the webcast on the 9th?

I just told you in another that Sony has never ported a PS3 game to Vita.

Hustle Kings...unless you mean retail games.

 

[JJD]

They could do the MS way and rely on 3rd party. Move all of their studios to PSV/PS4 development

As much as I love my PS3 I hope they do that. I need a lot a crazy exclusives to justify paying $800, $1000 dollars on a PS4 at launch...

Spoiler

I live in Brazil...

 

[JWong]

Twitter is just becoming ridiculously omnipresent.

All this hubbub about facebook and it's twitter that I'm amazed how important it's becoming.

Or how misleading and dangerous it can be.

On one hand, it helped to usurp a dictatorship.
On the other hand, it caused complete chaos and panic in a "Oh my god it's the 2nd Chernobyl!".

 

[JJD]

Also I hope we finally see that move horror game! Even Shuhei Yoshida said in a tweet that something was going on in regards to that game. Many people thought that The Last of Us announced was indeed this game.

 

[Lingitiz]

They could do the MS way and rely on 3rd party. Move all of their studios to PSV/PS4 development

I think that they do have enough partners and internal studios to support both Vita, light PS3 development, and early PS4 launch titles. Vita has started pretty strongly with mostly the dedicated handheld teams like Bend. PS3 is having late life with Title Fight, Sly 4, Starhawk, LBPR, which are all from external teams. The second team at ND also allows for some flexibility. PS4 is probably being worked on by SSM (assuming RAD are making God of War 4), Hennig's team at ND, Sucker Punch, etc. I think the only surprise could be in SSM not transitioning to PS4, since God of War 3 came so late.

MS is in a bit of a different situation, they've dumped a ton of money in building first party for next gen but are able to coast off of third parties thanks to Kinect and COD while tossing in a big blockbuster like Halo 4 at the end of the year.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

so, he heard everything about gdc and e3, why not just say it?

 

[Murkas]

I would like to hear new game announcements, for PS3 and Vita.

New, or at least series we haven't heard from in a while, Uncharted and God of War can take a break.

I will also accept Vita ports.

 

[redblack85]

It all has becoming quite clear, with the rumors heading towards Game Developers Conference (GDC) that Microsoft will have secret meeting for their next Xbox and reports that Sony to utilize AMD instead of Cell CPU, now we had another strong indication towards the unveiling of PlayStation 4.

[Desmond]

Exactly why they are due to announce some at GDC.

I'm curious to see what Sony is planning to announce.

How are they new ports if we never had ports to begin with?

 

[weekend_warrior]

PS4.

 

[ElFly]

Vita Lite, $200, pocket sized, actual battery life.

 

[Toki767]

Considering it's SCEE...it's probably Move related.

 

[Blitzzz]

where is UK-GAF and why aren't they live tweeting this shit?

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Didn't you guys hear? There's no PS4 announcement coming. I mean the thing is only JUST NOW hitting its stride, you assholes!

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Considering it's SCEE...it's probably Move related.

Worse, probably Home related since SCE London is all up in that Home shit.

 

[Takao]

Hustle Kings...unless you mean retail games.

Hustle King's campaign mode is supposedly all new on Vita.

 

[bgassassin]

So that's why PS4 won't be announced at E3.

 

[EatinOlives]

Man, why can't I be in Europe in cafes talking about how my Vita is a taco.

VelVita?

Spoiler

Not a taco, but close enough.

 

[Anth0ny]

"So we're not going to talk about the PS4 at GDC, right? That's for E3?"

"Correct. GDC will revolve around the Final Fantasy 7 remake for Vita."

 

[venom2124]

Interesting timing because I just filled out a survey for an unannounced ps3 sequel. It said the game would be a prequel to a popular franchise and they were testing names. I assume it's for God of War 4 because some of the names were From Ashes, Odyssey, Alpha, and Chaos Begins. Very God of War-centric subtitles. So it looks like we are getting a prequel for Kratos. Kind of strange because his past is pretty well covered.

 

[patsu]

It can't be PS4 announcement. Sony would want more attention focused on Vita and PS3 now. Probably PS Suite related news, and more Vita and PS3 development stuff.

Very interesting!

Maybe it's a prequel with Zeus as main character, at the time of the war against the Titans.
And the next cover of PSM France hints at the ligthnings..

That would be awesome if the entire game was as the first great battle in God of War 3!

 

[Kafel]

I've heard something but I'm not saying anything

If this guy was a gaffer, he would be banned. But he gets a thread instead.

 

[KageMaru]

Maybe they'll reveal some games they showed at the destination playstation event.

Hopefully one of these announcements is QD's next game since they are showing off new tech next week.

 

[DiscoJer]

A large number of Minis developers have Vita devkits, so hopefully we will see a lot of those projects.

Frima has been teasing a Vita announcement.

Minis of PS Suite teases.

 

[BosSin]

Hmm may have to go to this cafe seeing as its only a 20 min bus ride away

 

[Callibretto]

bring a Vita and use Near, when you get their psn id, spam their psn mailbox with messages

 

[jeff_rigby]

I disagree. It's the media who forced their way in to GDC, and because they're there, the publishers use it for marketing stuff.

Articles on GDC confirm your statement but GDC this year is having a press briefing and No Keynote (because it was abused last year) where each of the presenters gives a 2+min synopsis/overview on what they are presenting. As such, I don't think a leak a week in advance of a press overview presentation is an issue.


1) Khronos OpenMAX 1.2 published Feb 2012 will impact some of the presentations.
2) Sony patent for a depth sensing camera published Feb 2012 also??
3) AR in another Khronos PDF is targeted for Sept 2012 with the Sony depth sensing camera giving more features to AR.
4) The WebGL standard has moved on from the 1.0 announced March last year at GDC...expect more on that at this years GDC.

Maybe Sony finally getting DASH IPTV DRM support for the PSN rather than having movies downloaded. Timetables finally announced for PS3 and Vita???

It can't be PS4 announcement. Sony would want more attention focused on Vita and PS3 now. Probably PS Suite related news, and more Vita and PS3 development stuff.

Agreed but next gen Xbox news might have with it information that also applies to next gen Sony. If for instance Xbox is using IBM 3D stacking (2013) and Sony is 6 months or more behind Xbox then as several Sony employee posts would imply, Sony will be confirmed using IBM 3D stacking rather than 2.5D. Performance figures for next gen Xbox might be announced and we can then get an idea of what the MIN for Sony might be. Lots of speculation will be resolved.

We also need to start getting an idea of what PS3 is going to look like at the end of 2012 and going into 2013.

Now that we have a webkit browser and it's using the same native support libraries Vita uses, we indeed might get an idea of what the PS3 might look like later this year.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

If it's these games:

Little Big Karting
God of War 4

I'm not interested. I want Vita announcements.

you think little big karting isn't going to end up on vita day and date with the PS3?
