Ask multiplatform gamers what version they'd prefer: PS3 or PC.

That's your answer.

Preference is obvious, what's actually important to sales of a new console is having games that clearly demonstrate that the console you own is being made obsolete.

It doesn't necessarily mean a higher resolution, or dynamic forehead sweat simulation. Consoles like the Wii and DS demonstrate this.

More games, sure. Are there going to be any launch day titles that make you think 'Ok, this could have never been done before, and I want it'?

 

[Uno Venova]

They delivered on the Vita so they could with the PS4 too.

 

[jimmypython]

"stronger" doesn't necessarily mean more games. Due to the ease of porting to this platform, I would say there will be a bunch of high quality cross generation games as launch titles.

 

[iavi]

Let's hope there's the practice of quality > quantity involved.

Also no cross-gen ports.

There's going to be a TON of cross-gen ports.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Well he interjects title count directly into that statement, and references how it's easy to port things to the platform as context.

Yeah I just think using the word 'stronger' is an easy out if the number is lower, he also said he 'can't' give the title count so he could be pulling focus from numbers to quality. Although what do I know! I'm just reading into it I guess.

 

[polyh3dron]

Vita had an awesome launch (window) lineup. This thing will be a guaranteed day 1 purchase if it's as good.

Problem is that hardly anything has come out for it since..

 

[baphomet]

Vita arguably had one of the best though.

Agreed, I never once thought "the vita has no games." Of course give me a wipeout at launch and I'm pretty content.

 

[Portugeezer]

 

[Foxtastical]

Fantavision 4K

 

[Dead Prince]

They delivered on the Vita so they could with the PS4 too.

but can they deliver after that.

 

[polyh3dron]

Let's hope there's the practice of quality > quantity involved.

Also no cross-gen ports.

I'd like some cross-gen ports actually. Dragon's Dogma at 60FPS? Yes please.

 

[WrenchNinja]

If Knack and Infamous are launch, then I might buy one.

 

[Backfoggen]

Lair 2

 

[SmokedMeat]

Strong launch lineups don't mean too much. People will complain that there's nothing to play anyway.

Yep, they should spread it out a little, an avoid any possible Wii U style drought.

 

[SolidSnakex]

If Knack and Infamous are launch, then I might buy one.

A Sucker Punch employee had inFamous listed as a launch title on his Linkedin. I believe that SP responded to that by saying that it isn't something that they'd even know about. Of course that isn't true since I believe both Guerrilla and Evolution were approached about making launch titles.

 

[SniperHunter]

DriveClub says hi

 

[ThisWreckage]

Knack, The Last Guardian, Infamous would be great.

 

[Canis lupus]

Well I have money only for 3 launch games so between Knack, inFamous, Killzone and DriveClub, one will have to wait. :/

 

[Portugeezer]

Yep, they should spread it out a little, an avoid any possible Wii U style drought.

That's all they need to do really, though I'd like a big selection at launch, I don't want months of droughts.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Here is the previous time he talked about launch games from March 30

This will also lead to the main difference with the PS3 era. The main difference is, we will have many titles for launch. Because game development is easier, there shouldn’t be a barrier as there had been previously. PS3 had the image that it was difficult to develop for. Even the PS2 wasn’t that easy. PS4 has a PC CPU and a GPU that’s been enhanced from a PC so the game lineup should become very rich.

So yeah I think he means quantity mostly.

 

[Oersted]

Pre-release promises. Could we get some facts?

 

[OverBlood 3]

Quality or quantity it is still quite a claim so here's to you PS4.

 

[Ushojax]

For people who like KillZone and Infamous, I guess.

I'm sure it will have the 'biggest launch line-up ever' that each successive console has, filled out with ports and shovelware.

 

[sn00zer]

TBH though outside of maybe 1 or 2 games PS launches are usually crap

 

[Sendou]

Isn't this what everyone says when they're releasing a new console? Would they say that this time we don't have as strong lineup as in the past?

 

[astroturfing]

so The Last Guardian, GTAV, AC4, FFXV and Killzone 4 then? cool, that'll do for me.

don't disappoint me Sony.

 

[ShirAhava]

Massive Line-up. Massive Damage.

 

[Nafai1123]

I expect lots of cross-gen/pc ports considering Cerny's statement about it taking "weeks, not months" to port PC games to PS4.

 

[sqwarlock]

Make Last Guardian a launch title, and I'll take a day off work and wait in line for the damned thing.

 

[sublimit]

I hope i'll find 1-2 games that interest me from their launch line up.But i don't want to be overexcited just yet.

 

[enzo_gt]

I believe it, considering how many cross-gen titles there will be.

 

[Vitter.]

Make Last Guardian a launch title, and I'll take a day off work and wait in line for the damned thing.

that´s the attitude, hear sony?

 

[i-Lo]

"Stronger" in terms of quantity or quantity?

Anyway, significant credence would be heaped upon Sony if they manage to secure exclusivity for the next FF (timed at worst) in the west, make GT6 a cross generational game and reintroduce The Last Guardian.

 

[EvB]

I believe it, considering how many cross-gen titles there will be.

Even a cross gen version of Assassin's Creed/ Watchdogs or the latest COD game would trump the ps3 launch titles.

 

[Barry Burton]

Not exactly a bold statement, haha.

It's been a long time since the launch of any new console has really blown me away, I hope this time someone can deliver the goods.

 

[LastNac]

Nice. Hopefully something from just about every genre too.

 

[Data West]

Probably easy to say 'most games' when digital's so much more easily available.

 

[TimeEffect]

I want to see LBP 3D

Dont care much for inFamous, Drive Club, and KZ3 left a sour taste in my mouth. Unless KZ:SF can get its shit together, which I keep holding out for.

I'll jump in for next gen GTA V, BF4, next gen LoU, etc. if they are substantial ugprades. If they can string some great PSN games, that'd be great too. New Stardust on day one? I'm in...

But I think they need to do something more convincing. I think they need to show fan support by giving incentives like free PS+, or free credit for PSN. You know, a way to give back to the dedicated fanbase that goes in blindly, not sure if the console will hold up down the line, hoping for The Last freaking Guardian to release on time, etc.

Personally, what excites me more than what has been revealed so far is the OS and hardware features. I'm in day one, but so far it's because I trust the success of the PS4, and really want to hold the new controller and navigate the new PSN.

 

[Nags]

Hopefully they are looking at Nintendo and thinking about the 6 months after launch as well.

There's a difference. PS4 will have 3rd party support.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

There's a difference. PS4 will have 3rd party support.

But thats what they said at Wii U reveal!

 

[Coolwhip]

Well its not like he will say otherwise. Sony seems to be doing well for core console gamers though.

 

[Jinfash]

DriveClub says hi

Tell her I said hi back, and that if doesnt drop the "feels of the experience" bullshit and differentiate itself from GT I'm going to cut her.

 

[SolidSnakex]

There's a difference. PS4 will have 3rd party support.

It also helps that Sony's internal teams have experience with an HD console. And now they're moving over to one that's significantly easier to work with. It's becoming obvious that Nintendo is struggling with developing for HD consoles like many other devs did when entering the current-gen.

 

[IHaveIce]

Well not hard afterall the Ps3, Ps Vita and even the Ps2 launch weren't that great.


I just hope they don't rely too much on sequels and start new IPs.

Please stop god of war already at least with Kratos and give us a brawler like it set in a Nordic mythology setting.

 

[Green Wiggly]

Is it just me, or do launches not mean a whole lot anymore once you get past the initial wave of hype?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

When I watched the Guerilla Games presentation about lightning tech in ShadowFall yesterday it really hit me that Sony has been busy preparing internal studios for next gen. Nintendo will have to go through the same pains again when they finally move foreward in tech.

Ps Vita and even the Ps2 launch weren't that great.

Vita launch was good.

 

[omonimo]

And you think it will based on what? When was the last cross platform GT game you saw?

Spoiler

In before GT5 using GT4 cars jokes

BTS & FFXIIIVs you think are a coincidence or just a rumour? PS4 is studied to easy ports.

 

[jgmo870]

Their two handhelds have had great launch lineups so, yeah, it's not impossible.

 

[FrontalMonk]

PS2 had Timesplitters, Dynasty Warriors 2, Tekken Tag, and Armored Core 2. All great games.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

wouldn't surprise me if those 4 games that they showed in february were launch games.
