Well DriveClub's not going to be delayed again, I've heard they've given it to Team ICO to get it out the door ASAP.

I hear it will also include the long-awaited FFVII remake.

Oh, ad nice one Forbes! lol

 

[DemonNite]

Nah, they're referring to a golf driver club. It's obvious SCE is announcing they are getting into the sport equipment business. That or some kind of golf simulator...

or its a driver update to bring 10% performance boost™

 

[chubigans]

Don't take that Forbes Contributor article at face value, y'all. Those stories are literally blog posts by random internet folk.

 

[TrojanBlade]

When Shu asked how many people were coming to the GDC conference, someone replied "That's virtually impossible."

Then Shu started... laughing... out loud.

OK ...this really is VR ... or Shu is the biggest troll ever! I hope its the former!!!! I mean so many of his tweets are winks, lols and smileys from him when hinted at VR.

 

[viveks86]

Will Gaf go down if VR is announced for real? I want to stick around to read the reactions if it happens

Yeah this could very well be some random click bait. But what if, WHAT IF, he jumped the gun based on embargoed information that is already doing the rounds amongst the press?

 

[Shmuely Bully]

Whether it's confirmed or not somebody at Forbes is going to get a little talking to soon..

 

[SnakeEyes]

Will Gaf go down if VR is announced for real? I want to stick around to read the reactions if it happens

Yes, GAF will go down. 100% confirmed. GAF has gone down for less.

I suspect it will go down either way, ha ha.
The rage of if it isnt VR and the hype if it is, Gaf is doomed! Doomed!

Report from the future?

Thread worthy!

 

[V_Ben]

Wipe Out being a launch vr title would be perfect but they cannot have drive club AND wipe out at the same time..

Well to be fair WipeOut has probably been in development for a few years now if I were to guess.

Yeah. For an "oops, pressed submit too early" article it's very vague. I'd think Sony gives out more info at the presentation.

Keep mocking, hundreds of thousands of people played TitanFall brah, your reign was short lived.

OMG is fcking real!!

 

[creyas]

I've got to go sleep now. Will probably take a bit longer than usual. Can't wait to wake up!

 

[googleplex]

I'm trying, and failing to keep my hype in check.


I've been waiting for over 20 years for VR to really happen. To think it could happen on my PS4 this year is an amazing thought.

 

[Beant]

Thread worthy!

Sadly Forbes Contributor articles are never thread worthy

It is the chartz of games journalism

I'm not going to lie, I'll be slightly ticked off if this announcement is not VR.

 

[viveks86]

I don't know. He's some forbes contributor. I'm looking him up online to see if he has any credibility. New thread would blow it up. Would really suck if it ends up being false! lol

Dunno but Gaf will go down if VR isn't announced, for real.

 

[KAL2006]

Ideas for cool VR games

Virtua Tennis (first person tennis with Move controls)
Drive Club (cockpit view, with insane lighting affects)
Elder Scrolls Skrim
Until Dawn (First PErson Move game)
Daylight (First Person horror game)

 

[Raist]

Who's Demonite?

Shuhei Yoshida.

Spoiler

Would be quite the twist, wouldn't it?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

i'm half-certain he was being sarcastic with the new-thread request.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Hot damn I'm glad I picked up a ps4, boys. Really pumped about this right now.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So excited! Day one whenever it comes out.

 

[vpance]

Guys, any bets on > 4GB GDDR5??

Nope (See below)

I can only handle one direction of time travel at a time, thanks.

 

[Guymelef]

Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuehi Yoshida debuted the device at a session titled “Driving the Future of Innovation At Sony.”

From the future.

Shuhei Yoshida.

Spoiler

Nah, I doubt Shu has such photoshop skills. Unless, he has some interns making GIFs at the snap of his fingers.

Spoiler

Would be a cool story, though

 

[R_Deckard]

This is true, far too much info upto this point for it not to be, Edge dont get much wrong.

I think Sony waited till they had something (games) to show with it and you gotta feel this has DriveClub written aaaallllll over it.....

 

[Madchad]

Dark Souls with VR headset and move controllers to block and attack.

Yes.

 

[StuBurns]

Guys, any bets on > 4GB GDDR5??

No, unless they want another $600 clusterfuck. And I know some people think Sony are going to be super pro-consumer, but seriously, they might phrase it nicer, but they are going to implement DRM, they have no choice, all the power is with the publishers, and there's is NOTHING Sony can do about it.

 

[KumaJG]

Also the The Sony event will be recorded and uploaded to youtube.

 

[EventHorizon]

Yes, GAF will go down. 100% confirmed. GAF has gone down for less.

That sounds kinky.

 

[Massa]

At this point I don't care about VR, the only megaton I want from Sony is to have a unified worldwide Playstation Store not managed by Grace Chen. That and a single submission process for games, so developers don't have to do three times the paperwork and go through their hellish ridiculous QA process three separate times.

 

[S¡mon]

No, unless they want another $600 clusterfuck. And I know some people think Sony are going to be super pro-consumer, but seriously, they might phrase it nicer, but they are going to implement DRM, they have no choice, all the power is with the publishers, and there's is NOTHING Sony can do about it.

The question is: "Will they use GDDR5? Or DDR3?". I happen to know that GDDR5 RAM is very expensive. 8 GB? Maybe DDR3. GDDR5 8 GB? No way!

But true.

If Sony is using GDDR5, then they fucked up, I mean latency...everyone fucking knows about it.

 

[teiresias]

So when would we hear something if we're going to?

 

[JABEE]

Someone typed up a news story ahead of time and accidentally posted it?

 

[SnakeEyes]

That sounds kinky.

GAF *always* goes down for less...

 

[Dart]

Will there be pics shown on the live blogs(s)?

If it is announced they will release proper pictures and little details about the device to the media. That's how it usually goes.
