Topic: PlayStation4 - News/Rumor/Speculation - Over 1 Million Sold on Day 1

[Drizzt]

Sony's conference really let me down this year. Where were the new exclusives?  Too many last gen games: GTA V, Last of Us. Delays galore, that horrible free to play sizzle reel. They spent way to much time on that Powers thing, and the letters to Sony. A huge waste of two hours, If it wasn't for Uncharted 4 (which I already knew about) and Bloodborne it would have been unforgivable. I hope Nintendo can save this mediocre E3 tomorrow.

That's all that games are these days though. I'm looking forward to GTAV and The Last of Us because I never got them for PS3. I'm actually looking forward to a lot of this stuff, and it's great for me because I'll finally be done with school in December so I will be able to actually purchase and play said games.

BLOODBORNE HYPE TRAIN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(It's a Demon's Souls/Dark Souls spiritual successor)

[ShyGuy]

I wonder if Grim Fandango will show up elsewhere.

[NWR_insanolord]

I was really underwhelmed by what Sony had to show. First off, they basically gave a big middle finger to the Vita, and beyond that there wasn't much on PS4 that really interested me, especially for this year. For whatever reason, I've been fairly interested in Destiny for a while now, but at this point it looks like that and the various annual sports games are the only thing I'll be picking up for the system the rest of the year, aside from your various indie stuff.

[Oblivion]

You're telling me you aren't ultra fucking hyped for Bloodborne like me?

[broodwars]

At the end of the day, I feel Sony had a "good" Press Conference, but not a "great" one like last year.  It had an incredible amount of variety compared to every other press conference, and man seeing something like Entwined up on the big screen (downloading right now, btw!) was such a blast of fresh air after everything else we saw today. A new piece of Standalone Infamous Second Son DLC centered around THE most interesting character of that game was great. The Order continues to look impressive, LittleBigPlanet 3 was a nice surprise, and Grim Fandango making a return was the best news of the night (I've never played it).  Bloodthorne was a nice surprise, though it's made by the Dark Souls people so it can go **** off. That said, Sony showed tonight that they have...nothing...for Fall 2014. The fact that Drive Club didn't even make an appearance at this press conference probably speaks volumes about its quality.

Sony's looking to have a fantastic 2015, but man its 2014 lineup is meh.  They had the best games of the show so far, but Microsoft IMO had by far the best conference (if for no other reason than that journey into No Man's Land that Sony did after No Man's Sky's trailer ended).

I've never played any of the Souls games, so it doesn't immediately resonate with me. I did like the very little I played of ZombiU, which people often compare to them, at E3 two years ago, but haven't touched my copy.

I'm not saying they didn't show anything good, it's just that there wasn't a ton there that really appealed to me.

[azeke]

Just like last year Microsoft had more exclusives i'm interested in.
Last time it was Dead rising 3 and Sunset Overdrive, this time it's Scalebound.
From what i see Sony didn't show anything. The Order? Meh. Little Big Planet? Nope. Uncharted? Youtube game. Demon's Souls? Call me when i will finish Dark Souls on PC, which is long ways off and most likely i'll stop caring by then.

[broodwars]

...I mean, that's like your opinion, man.

And that's, like, your opinion, man. I didn't say the game looked terrible. I merely cited that I had no interest in anything the Dark Souls team touches. I don't agree with their design philosophy. So tone it down, and stop taking things so personally.

[Oblivion]

You don't like anything, dude. Whether its Nintendo, Sony, or anyone, it's nothing but doom and gloom from you. I don't even need to read your comments when I see your username, I can already guess what it'll say. I actively skip your sections of your podcast because they are just filled with so much negativity.


And for the record, you said none of that. You simply said **** off.

[ShyGuy]

I was surprised by how much they did feature the Vita, actually.

[NWR_insanolord]

Hey everybody, let's calm it down with the attacks. This really isn't worth the kind of vitriol I've seem here.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

Just got back from the conference and much to my surprise LBP3 got the most applause from the crowd. The Order looked great on the big screen but very dark (talking color not tone). Multi plat stuff looked great but the one big omission from the conference...WHERE THE HELL IS THE LAST GUARDIAN Was IGN right? Nothing. Zilch. Donuts.


I'll get a PS4 for New Super Sackboy and GTA V but I really, really wanted to see TEAM ICO. It hurts, like bad. Hopefully Nintendo will ease my suffrage in the A.M but the ouch was so real.




Powers? Thought it was an anime, not live action but still meh...


R&C always looks dope so that was a plus.




All in all it was a solid B. None of those guys were Jack Trenton.

[ShyGuy]

Brian Michael Bendis got FAAAAT

[broodwars]

Oh noes. One of the most controversial posters on the site doesn't like me. Whatever will I DO?!!!  Btw, I love the prejudging of what I'm going to say before I even say it, to the extent of not even listening to what I'm saying. Really lends credibility to the argument that I "hate" everything.

That aside, I just finished the story mode in Entwined on my PS4, and it is a lovely little game with a gorgeous visual design and a fantastic soundtrack. It reminds me a lot of Dyad in how it takes the Tempest concept and shapes it in new directions. It's on the short side of about an hour and the difficulty curve is all over the place, but I really enjoyed it.  High recommended if you're a bit burned out from today's E3.

[Ymeegod]

I didn't bother watching the entire 2 1/2hrs and only looked up at the highlights like LBP3 which is coming out Nov.  Grim Fandango was a great surprise though I kinda wanted an sequel instead of an "remastered".  So many games got pushed back to 2015 so it's kinda hard to get excited about them but Batman looked great.

No Kingdom Hearts III news, I knew it wasn't going be there but it all but confirms an 2015 launch now. 

[azeke]

Batman looked great.

Battank mode is completely retarded though.
I saw they added more gauges over enemies' heads, hopefully that will fix combat system.

Yeah, when I saw the Batmobile break out the guns and start shooting people, a certain line from this Batman: The Animated Series episode kept popping up in my head:

"Rubber Bullets. Honest!"

Batman looks very pretty, and maybe by the time it comes out I'll be in the mood for another Batman game. Maybe. Origins kind of soured me on it. The new Scarecrow design is pretty freaky, though.

I think I saw a clip in the end Montage.

I'll talk more on the E3 Episode of NFR but, this conference could have gone better.  Also I'm more than a little sick and tired of these conferences being about 70% or more M content.

[ShyGuy]

Batman did indeed look awesome, the scope of the city was nice. But dang it, those empty empty streets irritate me!

Well, we'll be in agreement on that front. I like M-rated games and I like shooters, but I was pretty damn fatigued with the lot of them by the time we got to the end of Ubisoft's conference.

[shingi_70]

Entwined worth $10.

[broodwars]

Entwined worth $10.

Yes, yes it is.

But they gave Batman guns! Guns! Ugh.

More like 2016.
