I honestly can't see any reason to want to play Move games over Remote Play. For me, so long as it works with minimal input lag-I'm happy.

Gooooood!

Free Rayman & Velocity Ultra!

Well these are the team behind IL2 and all of the spin off games that use the same engine, so that could be interesting. Birds of Prey was really good!

@Epic FPS only dominates in the charts- the big boys need the big games and they keep the cash rolling in. Also, if they weren't there, would there be many rallying so hard to push them aside for more thought provoking games?

Also, I don't really see them as dominating. Most people may stick to one big FPS, possibly dalliance into a more adventure centric, story driven single player one as they come along, but sports and 3rd person action titles still abount too.

And of course, indie-mania is taking hold (getting boring), but today's indie is tomorrow's PSN and so on . . .

I've said it before, and I will again. i think for the most part, of those considering a next gen system, brand loyalty may win out. I know how good a gaming and entertainment experience 360's can be, but I'm really not interested in the next one. it's all swings & roundabouts at this point.

Previous gameplay footage has looked smoother.

I saw a forign TV report on youtube visiting the studio, the camecapure output shown while testers were playing looked very good.

There's nothing 'special' about these cards other than the shape. The pricing is very deliberate, memory is cheap as chips these days. A big reason for the propriatory memory cards is to thwart piracy somewhat, but they should be cheaper.
I have a 32GB now with a 4GB spare. about 10GB left on the 32, more if dump the Music Unlimited playlists. I'm not adverse to deleting stuff now I can save to the cloud with plus.

What threw me with SS was the arena set up. I sort of expected to be exploring.

Given the good sales, a sequel with a more open world approach would probably do really well too.

@Epic Sony should give them some incentive, as it's sure to shift a few Vitas too!

GTA.

Chun Li, Power Girl (Hughes), any number of fantasy female characters look similarly proportioned.
Were she real, I'd give her a wrestle!
In fact, she's probably going to be more distracting to play with than the Sorceress!

I played the Android free version a while ago. Not my thing at all, and i wouldn't want to play it on my Vita, but it's there if someone wants it at least.

Sony don't need to phase the Vita out. They aren't reportedly making any losses on it, so no need to shut the door. They've wisely revised their own expectations of the market and shifted focus to PS4 launch, and why wouldn't they?

It's a great system, with plenty of content. Yes the price may be a barrier, the memory cards are ridiculously priced- but there's tons of content.

The PS4 could be the saving grace for Vita- especially for those who already own the system. If Remote Play comes off well this time, vita is pretty safe.
I love my Vita, I have plenty to play, and replay and haven't even touched at least 70% of the PSN content on offer.

I treat it the same as I did my PSPs, mostly play at home, take it pretty much everywhere too. Different situations call for different games, there's plenty of room for every genre on Vita.

@ShogunRok So long as they can distance him from the nastiness of Italian football.

What a waste of Liverpool's finest.

WipEout HD to 2048 to a line drawing game.

Bring it on!

@Squiggle55 I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, the Fett and Clone tables are fairly dull compared to the ESB one, don't think I'll spend much time with them.

Wow! So glad I picked up Star Wars pinball, the trial tables don't do it justice-the ESB table is quite simply amazing.

Star Wars Pinball unlock is half price on plus too. £4.00

The Beta was certainly that, rough around the edges but solid in concept.
The sprawling front end no doubt put (and will continue to) some players off, but once you start upgrading the game gets so much better.
It's far easier to specialise than create a broad soldier though.

I think it's very clever. Early PS4 adopters have nice shiny new IP (Drive Club) to go with their new machine and those who are sticking with PS3 get a new entry in a PlayStation powerhouse franchise to keep them sweet.

Also to note, if GT6 is coming to PS3, that's probably because Polyphony have been working on it for a few years already, based on PS3 architechture.

Honestly, if they can sort the cursor drift on shooters I'd still be on board with Move.

Hahaha I do hope they have some sort of permission to use the '1%' tag. If not, it could get messy for those dev's. If they have, then, well- proceeds of crime?

Don't much care about Sly or Jak, but if this is to become a trend, I'll be all over Shadow of the Colossus!

@rjejr What if turns out to be 'just a dream' . . .

Still looking good.

Any word on who's handling the port?

@rjejr MS have officially debunked the always online rumors.

One of my friends who has Kinect gets most use out of talking to the xbox for functions, mostly with LoveFilm and really likes it for that. The 'better with Kinect' features on Mass Effect and (especially) NFS Most Wanted are well done too. Using voice control to use easydirve to change the mods on your car on the go is pretty much perfect, much better to use in a race than going through the menus with the d-pad. Of course, this is basically good use of a microphone and well implemented vocabulary, but something I do wish Sony would copy to be honest.
The only thing I've really ever wanted a 360 for is the insane amount of shmups on offer compared to PS3.

@Jaz007 I think it's all going to be very similar with the addition of second screens via glass and surface, the touted TV services and such, and unless MS changes it's behavior towards publishers I doubt they'll ever have anything like Plus.
@TheRealBatman I'm not sure, it's going to have to be under some pretty specific circumstances that I'd want anyone controlling my game remotely.
As I've said elsewhere, I think PSN and store access will remain free, but the advanced feature set to be based on a Plus like subscription.

Can I set my Sky+ box to record just adverts? hahahaha

@Epic I'd say that Plus will stay as it is in regard to PS3 and Vita.I think PS4 will have a different tiered system put in place.

No dungeon crawler will ever set the world on fire, but i'd have happily played it

Perhaps they've been inspired by Criterion and are trying to get the best out of each system before they commit fully?

I'd prefer NHL14 myself.

@Splat Again, what ends up discounted and free on plus is entirely down to Sony's ability to secure such deals with the game's publisher. Publishing and the associated rights is a messy business, and quite different globally, which is why there are different stores per region in the first place.

@Epic All down to the publishers really.

@Gamer83 Far more exploits at work on PS3 and 360 though.

I'm not too bothered with updates at all to be honest. There's only been a couple of occassions where it's buggered up a planned online session when I wasn't expecting an update, but there's always another console, or phone, or book.

I've never had a Vita update that left me as annoyed as some of the PS3 ones, not even close.

Having just upgraded to plus (largely so I could transfer my Vita saves to my new 32GB card without too much fuss) this is good news. Free Velocity and free Sine Mora!

Can't wait for the polished up Velocity, and I found Sine Mora a better experience on Vita and was going to buy.

Shmuptastic!

@Gemuarto I know what you mean. I tend to very much get a 'already played it' feeling by the time of release.

Japan first, possibly with NA.
I fear that EU will be left hanging again. A shame if that happens, it was a pretty hard time watching my mate buy 360's left right & centre back at it's launch. And I was tempted to get one too. Glad I held out for my PS3 as many of their early 360's danced a jig of death.
A later release is by no means a deal breaker this time either, but, if they miss xmas again and the cash is in the bank, it'll probably get spent!

@TheRealBatman @rjejr
That's not really fair Bats, it's a far, far superior piece of kit. I said way back when it came out that an amalgamation of the Eye/Move and Kinect would be the best way to go, and that's pretty much what we'll have, a better camera.
If only Sony would invest some time in to a vocabulary database so I can talk to it!

Also, other than multiplayer, it really is just more of the same in the case of GoW, due to that, those just coming to the franchise can pick up the collections or GoW 3 for a tenner or less first.
There will be fewer and fewer disc releases for PS3 as time goes on. It's the twilight period-there are still gems of games to come, and the usual raft of yearly sports franchises and FPS- but I doubt much of anything else on disc.

@get2sammyb They could go with a timed freebie subscription with every console perhaps? A month of fully featured stuff for free then you have to stump up?

@ztpayne7 I think there will be a heavy emphasis on a subscription service. I'd expect given the proposed wealth of features we'll be looking at something much closer to xbox live.

Haven't played it, but I'd bet my Mrs would've picked them out though. She's a teacher, Cambridge graduate and all round smart arse!

@get2sammyb
There will apparently be two flavours of nextbox. One full price, and one based on some sort of subscription model as you mention, which sounds more like some kind of shady long term hire-purchase 'deal' if you ask me.

As I say, anything up to or below PS3 launch price is fine by me, there's a whole bunch of great components in the PS4, enough to worth a £450.00 gaming PC, albeit with a better GPU thrown in too.

Well, my plan is to have around £600.00 to spend for the PS4 launch, that's soley based on what I paid for my launch PS3 (only £450.00, but that was packed with a couple of games and spare sixaxis).
So, I'm prepared to lay down £450.00 on the console itself, so that allows me enough (I think) for a couple of games and possibly a subscription for something akin to PS Plus at launch.
If it launches at £300.00, more's the better, I'll still have £300.00 to throw at games and possibly another controller. Win.

@Epic It's not about compression. It's about optimisation. It's the difference between something working, and something working efficiently. And ultimately the difference between run of the mill and ground breaking.

@Scrible It's a legacy issue. Would you rather lots of competent dev's able to wring the best out of a system or just a few like we have with PS3. PC gaming is all about optimisation, making the best gaming experience you can have depending on your hardware set up utilising scaling tools provided by the developer. Since consoles are fixed hardware, this is totally down to the developer. Also, since PS4 is as close to 'off the shelf' parts as PlayStaion has come-and is similar architecture to a PC, there ought to be massive amounts of optimisation and good management of assets. PC Games aren't 'better', they just come with the tools to make use of better hardware.

@Sanquine Each to their own pal. I detest JRPGs on the whole
