Third party exclusives matter - Titanfall is arguably the biggest exclusive and even if it is timed for one year, if it turns out to be as good as people think it is its going to move units.

It'll be interesting to see what Sony sends out against Titanfall next year.

I don't think they matter as much as some people do , Sony should be looking to make the next UC , GOW , GT , TLOU where they own the IP.
Then again i don't think Titanfall going to be as big as some others do and it being on 360 and PC hurts being a exclusive some what .
Owning the IP means at the end of the day if you want to play that game \ sequels you have to buy the system and third party exclusives don't insure that .

 

[B.O.O.M]

Yakuza and VC4 probably

I'm ok with this....as long as they localize this. If it's going to turn out to be a VC3 like situation then no. I rather not suffer

 

[Verendus]

Are you hearing the same thing regarding Gamescom being light on new stuff? Outside the OS/release date/vita/etc?

I was told to come expecting to be impressed. So, if they're doing more of the same, I question how they intend to impress me.

It'll be treated as Cinderella (like crap that means).

Man, why do you have to do this? I am going to cry in the corner now.

 

[LastNac]

Less than microsoft.


Sony seems reticent to spend money. I actually wrote a piece about it on my blog.


Sony Still Has A Lot To Prove



I also wrote about why the 180s won't necessarily save Microsoft while I'm shamelessly promoting myself (this will be it, promise)

Disappointing. Would have liked to see someone use the extra power.

The rollercoaster keeps on going.

What does DW have to do with Sega?

It has nothing to do with Sega, just me being a dumbass. Sorry.

Any chance we get some new indie announcements? =)

Please be October.

What? Well that makes me a sad panda.

I hope you told them you were massively unimpressed by E3 and it needed to be 10x better to be impressive.

=P

 

[Darklor01]

Thank you! This is what I was thinking. I expect a lot of the same with some real shockers thrown in.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

They have five notable ones. But I think the question you're asking is, 'Does Sony have any notable Western exclusive?' The answer is they have one which is going to be considered pretty goddamn huge when it's unveiled.


You'll know this year potentially. If not, then expect them at Sony E3 2014.

You were talking about Persona 5 not too long ago, what platform was it on PS3, VITA or PS4? You also said something happened to it, what was that about?

[Callibretto]

he meant Virtua Fighter Musou obviously.

No guys don't start getting hyped, it always leads to sadness

I suppose we can agree to disagree :/ marketed right Titanfall has the potential to be big imo.

Maybe it's the after party that's impressive

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Sony picked up the rights to Sadness? Finally, I thought it was vapourware.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Im going to be honest, Sony doesnt have to show as much games as microsoft, but they should have a teaser reel at least and a affirmation that X amount of titles are in development by first and third parties to be released in its first year.

Ok so wait.
1. Deep Down
2. Persona 5
3. Sega
4. Sega

What am I missing?

Also, you are such a tease and I love you for it.

 

[Chamber]

Too late. I'm expecting first footage of The Last of Us 2 to debut now.

 

[famousmortimer]

I was under that impression also... until today.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong, even if it discredits me here. I want gamescom to blow my socks out my ass.

I think you've been open enough to where its not that big a deal, it'll hardly discredit you. Everyone would be too happy and hyped to care anyway

 

[Brad Grenz]

Personally, I just don't believe Sony is going to be holding back at Gamescom. I never expected them to start teasing Uncharted or God of War sequels, but there's no reason not to start filling in the first year picture. Maybe they've just been holding their cards really close making it difficult for insiders to get any details or hints, but Sony is smart enough to recognize the number of announced exclusives is really the only perceived weakness out there. We know they have enough bullets left in the magazine to fire a burst at every big show between Gamescom and E3 next year.

And for TGS they definitely have to get some Japanese titles announced, though I expect that show to be more regionally focused in terms of what is unveiled.

 

[LastNac]

blow my socks out my ass.

Why would they even be up there?

 

[sp3000]

If PS4 releases late September or early october. Wow.

Now THAT would blow my socks out of my ass.

Also, never going to happen.

 

[squidyj]

If only that were true.

 

[LastNac]

Ok Kagari, do you forsee a potential Eastern Renaissance this Gen?

 

[Sandfox]

Yakuza and VC4 probably

I would be shocked if that happened.

 

[Samyy]

Ok Kagari, do you forsee a potential Eastern Renaissance this Gen?

Hell yea!

Spoiler

if you own an iPhone

I will expect nothing, but deep down hope for the best I guess.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Release date incoming? Sweet!

 

[Samyy]

I will expect nothing, but deep down hope for the best I guess.

I hope this game looks better when we see it next.....

 

[N.Domixis]

Can someone explain to me why exclusive third parties are so important? Why does Sony need them when they have their own studios? A game created by a third party does not make it better than a first party, for all we know Titan Fall and Sunset Overdrive could turn out bad.

 

[Kagari]

Ok Kagari, do you forsee a potential Eastern Renaissance this Gen?

It'd be nice. Japan certainly has an easier tool set to deal with this time around... the fear now of course is that SE, Capcom and Konami have all fallen into mismanaged messes over the past few years. Let's hope the smaller Japanese devs can pick up the slack.

 

[Darklor01]

Deep Down you know it won't

 

[LastNac]

Vita truly is the wild card for me. I was told not to expect another Uncharted, so unless it is Bioshock...

 

[kittens]

gonna need to wash your socks in the tub

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I have no socks in my ass, but Demons Souls 2 at TGS.

Believe.

 

[Chamber]

Blow my socks out my ass has meme potential.

 

[Bishop89]

A september release would be mind blowing. October would be good, but earlier the better.

November launch would suck.

 

[Kagari]

I have no socks in my ass, but Demons Souls 2 at TGS.

Believe.

I feel TGS is the real wildcard here. Sony is confirmed for the opening keynote, but I'm also wondering if Kawano will host their usual press conference as well this year.

 

[Callibretto]

regarding Sega, I see no reason for Sony to pursue Yakuza exclusive for PS4, it didn't sell in the west, won't sell on Xbox1 in Japan, and WiiU is probably underpowered to run it.

it's PS4 exclusive by default.

whatever those 2 exclusive is, it must have some sort of international appeal for Sony to get interested to moneyhat. or it's a genre that Sony want for diversity.

could be Virtua Fighter to fill their fighter lineup to go against Killer Instinct, and the other one is new IP imo.

 

[LastNac]

Oh...

Oh... water spit out everywhere.

 

[LastNac]

It'd be nice. Japan certainly has an easier tool set to deal with this time around... the fear now of course is that SE, Capcom and Konami have all fallen into mismanaged messes over the past few years. Let's hope the smaller Japanese devs can pick up the slack.

Does that mean we should perhaps turn to Atlus with our higher hopes?
