vita baby!!

I'd say there is maybe a 20% chance this is comming on vita as well. I think the Vita's big announcement is going to be an established third party franchise that has yet to appear on the handheld.

I am really looking forward to this. LBP Vita is one of the Vita's best in my opinion.

That stinks. I love my vita, I "convinced" 6 of my friends to get on. Less vitas in the wild = less vita games. The only explanation for this is they are puttinh all their $$ behind ps4 and cant afford a huge push/pricedrop/marketing campaign for Vita.

With the exception of grand Theft Auto, i probably wont buy anything that is cross gen. killzone, drive club, and infamous are the games i am most looking forward to(as well as the witcher). I remember the first year of the 360, where i kept trying to find the difference between cross gen games and was dissapointed. so i will stick to ps4 exclusives.

This is the most frustrating time of the year for Game News. All the big announcements are just around the xorner! e3 cant come soon enough.

microsoft contractually obligated devs to make tge 360 version of cross platform games equal or greater than ps3 or they wouldnt release. kotaku did a article on it a few Years back. If this remains the case, there will not be an advantage for ps4 software-wise, only hardware. which is probably why he mentioned things like the controller, and the quick start functions that are built into the console.

I am playing sly cooper thieves in time right now on the vita, this is a game i would not normally take time to play on ps3, but i love it on the go. i am glad they did this Need For Speed and mortal kombat cross platform, as i dont think they would have spent as many resources to develop these games if they were vita only.

@get2sammyb for sure, sounds like I will be keeping my ps3 alongside my ps4 (at least for a while).

I love rockstar. GTA is my second favorite title (bully being the first). i wish they would confirm or deny a ps4 version, as this may impact some peoples decision to upgrade.

How are watchdogs and assassins creed both launch titles when one comes out in oct and the other in November. unless they mean "launch window" titles.

With the porting issues the ps3 endured,I always feel more confident in exclusive titles as they were typically higher caliber games.

Between this, and th fact that uk retailers are taking pure orders when us retailers are not, it sounds like the uk is the safer bet as far as launch markets.

Pretty weak sony. This is part of why pspgo failed miserably. Their only store is inconsistent at best. Its not the end of the world, but it is pretty unprofessional.

My bet is on 9/17/13, side by side Killzone launches. Also i am predicting gta v as a launch title. A long shoot for sure but that is my bet.

I budgeted $400 for the console, $150 for games....fingers crossed!!

I love racing games, this looks promising. Looking forward to more info.

The only reason i could see MS doing this and getting away with it is if there is a benefit to the gamer that outweighs the drawbacks of an always on device. Developers would be very enthusiastic about a console that would eliminate the used market and piracy. So much so that Microsoft might be able to swing some sweet exclusives (there was no call of duty or Madden at the playstation meeting). Also they could potentially sell games at a lower price point if they had no resell value. I am not a fan of their business practices, but i am not naive enough to think they don't have a plan.Microsoft is in the business of making $$$ by any means necessary.

Speaking as an American, i assure you there are many American companies way worse than EA. They are just recognizable because they are a media company. Last time i checked, Electronic Arts never raped a bunch of third world countries for their natural resources.

I bought a 360 at the beginning of this gen since ps3 wasn't coming out for another year. After 3 rrods and Microsoft's abhorent customer service i got rid of the 360 and i will not buy another console from Microsoft.

I think Sony will wait until the new Xbox event, then immediately announce price/release date/console pictures. And i predict launch day add sept 17 2013. Side by side killzone vita/ps4 launch.

This guy is still alive? At this point he's kind id irrelevant. I heard he joined Activision or some other big publisher a while ago, then was released shortly thereafter. Can't wait for the xbox 720 pong version 2013....

That would be awesome if sony could also land arma for ps4. I hear its one of the best military sims out there.

I think it's hilarious that bungie made a big deal about how they wanted to do something different and that's why they stopped doing halo..... But instead of a circle around earth, it's a ball over earth? And the character models look an awful lot like the enemies from halo, and the player models are all armored. I'm just saying, this could have looked exactly the same and been called halo mmo and no one would think twice.

*bought a 360, darned Swype.

Awesome! I almost thought a 360 just to play this when it first released, then i haven't had the time to play it on ps3. I will for sure play this on my vita. Great news. Also can't wait to replay walking dead on vita.

Why oh why are there no other fps announced? Killzone is it. The main reason I wanted a vita in the first place was the promise of dual analog fps on the go. I hope some vita battlefield or cod or team fortress or something is in the works because the genre is highly underrepresented right now.

In my opinion this whole backwards compatibility thing is overrated. Every time i get a new system i typically focus on the new games as opposed to playing old last gen stuff.

*last of us collection. Oops.

Yep, trading the ps3 in as soon as ps4 launches at Gamestop in the u.s., so I'm not wasting money on any more ps3 games. I'll wait for the inevitable ps4 lady of us collection

Far cry 3 has a whole separate 8 hour Co OP campaign. I have not played it, but i hear it is fun.

The thing is,(and Sony ran into this with the ps3), that game developers who make cross platform games are going to make them to the specifications of the least powerful system.that's why skyrim,cod etc don't look any better on ps3 vs xbox. No developer is going to spend a ton of money making a high end version gof a game for someone with a $3,000.00 gaming pc to pirate when they can make it for the console (mostly pirate free) and port the same game to pc.

Dude, I love Kojima. We need more crazy geniuses in the gaming industry. Imagine if Ken Levine gave an interview in a giant diaper. Awesomesauce.

Love sound shapes, more albums please!

The 3g is useless, you can't play online with it. I use the mobile hotspot from my 4g hotspot to play vita online while out and about.

Guilty pleasure, I love call of duty blops declassified. Its the lowest reviewed vita title on metacritic but its online multiplayer is fun on my lunch break@ work. Great article.

I also noticed Gamestop UK is accepting pre orders visa their website.

I wish they would open up pre orders in the us. Hopefully the rumors are true that Sony has a ton of ps4s in production and their won't be a shortage, but i want to lock in a pre order.

All of the above please! But vita would be my first choice!!!

@Gamer83 i agree, its probably the same suits that made them switch from horror to action that canceled them when it didn't work. I wish someone would make a truly scary game for console. Also, microtransactions have no place in a full retail release.

Sweet!

I don't know,i live in the us and hope for a holiday release. However, Gamestop UK has pre order on their website already, while Gamestop us only has a sign up to learn when u will be able to preorder.this makes me feel like us might have to wait this time. We will see soon hopefully.

@ThatOneBlackGuy Mike Jones!

I think the fist bio shock was good, but overrated. I think it rather reprehensible that they announced a game that was never even in production. I bought a vita to play fps on the go, and i am disappointed there haven't been more on offer, but overall i am very satisfied with the system. Hopefully this will eventually come out, as a lot of other folks really love the franchise and that would b good for the vita.

I like Jack Tretton, he reminds me of William Shattner.

I filled my 32gb card months ago, wish they would come out with a 64gb option. I love not having to shuffle game cards around.

Got it! Thanks Sony!

Keep your cameras and wands away from me! Lol, i how if they do decide to add motion controls that it is beret implemented than the vita stuff, less qte please!
