Sony: There's Still Plenty of 'Highly Significant' Titles in Development for PS3

What worries me is backwards compatibility. I mean here Assassins Creed 4 is coming out around October but they are saying it will be out for next gen too. This is a prime example. Do I buy for PS3 or wait till next gen?

I think it's a great idea since a lot of people will wait for the PS4's library to expand before buying one, so continuing to support the PS3, will help make the wait easier.

I just want to hear something about The Last Guardian.

versus 13...

@get2sammyb But why would you spend £300+ on the machine just to play a game you could on the console you already own? Just so you have the version which is 1% better looking? The amount of big games that will be released for both PS3 and 4 is worrying as it shows devs are concerned people just aren't going to buy next gen consoles.

Last Guardian, please!!! I'd be okay with it being out for PS4 and PS3, as long as I don' have to buy a new system to play it (because I just don't see myself buying a PS4 for at least 2 years).

Yes there is plenty years left in the ps3, why oh why are we getting the ps4 already is beyond me, the ps3 is just starting to feel its groove. but whatever....

The PS3 is getting Dust 514 which is in Open Beta now. and along with the PS4, The PS3 is also getting Diablo 3 and Destiny

@rastamadeus (yes, I know I'm not Sammy ) It depends on it your already planning on getting a PS4. If you are you might as well get the game for the new console, if not stick to getting it on your current one.

I think its a good idea to keep supporting the PS3, especially since the PS4 isn't backwards-compatible. There are going to be plenty of people waiting for more games and those who can't afford it or don't want to spend so much money on a console that will stick to their current one(s).

I'd be a missed opportunity if they don't and just like the PS2 before it the PS3 is still worth a purchase.

70 million people own a PS3. Obviously Sony has to be continue to support the platform for the next 2 years or so.

History says that is takes at least 1 year (potentially 2) for enough people to have bought the new platform for the dev focus to shift completely. It makes sense for them to release against both versions during the transition period, otherwise they would go broke. I don't see it as a worrying trend, just good business acumen. By mid/end of 2014 it won't happen anymore.

@rastamadeus : 'why would you spend £300+ on the machine just to play a game you could on the console you already own? Just so you have the version which is 1% better looking? " - I would and will!

Not for a single game, but for all my future game purchases. The PS4 looks way better than only 1% better and it is not just graphics. If you take Watch Dogs as an example, the PS4 version will have better physics and AI etc.

Some quotes:

• "Every core pillar of the game is able to be pushed further. We're able to push the immersion. The fidelity of the graphics is one part of the immersion, but it's more than graphics.”
• "We can spend more time in the brain of each AI with a more powerful machine, saying, 'OK, how will I react to what just happened there? Where will I run to? Will I call the cops?', or stuff like that,”

Count me in. I will be purchasing on PS4.

Garpicz r teh best!!!!11!!!11!! Sew PS4 teh bes!!!!11!1

Seriously though, the PS4 needs more than graphics to win my heart, all the PS4 has done is remind me of how much gaming has declined. Aw man, I can see the seats in the car! So awesome! Shame it will be another dull-as-ditchwater driving sim. Aw man, Killzone! Shame killzone is crappy when the sheen of the pretty graphics is taken off.

I was talking to a friend about the PS4 conference (who only saw part of it) and when I said that there the medievil game shown there he actually got exited because he thought that it was a new MediEvil game (as in the PS1 game), but was dissapointed to see it as a generic fantasy game. Which just reminds me of how these seemingly dated games that are supposedly a thing of the past are far more cherished by pretty much everyone I know who has been gaming for a while than these supposedly groundbreaking new games.

But now on topic, makes sense, considering that the PS3 has a larger userbase than the PS4. But I do think that they should push themselves and make something truly good on the PS4.

I don't remember any of console transition but, I am pretty sure that companies just didn't jump the ship (stop making game for previous gen consol) on day 1, so to expect this from PS4 would be ludicrous.

I understand the conditions is different now, since PS4 won't have Backward compatible.
But really let's be honors would you pay $100+ for a backward compatible PS4?

Think about this:
360 Premium cost $399.99 ad launch
PS3 Fat G1 cost $499.99 ad launch and was consider expensive, even though it included Wireless Recharged controller, HDMI, Optical Out and Blu-ray + Build in PSU.

Making PS4 "to expensive" can cause first time Consol ppl to choice NGXbox over PS4

I'm really appreciative of this because I'm definitely not interested in buying a PS4 at launch. I have learned that you don't buy a new console until at least two and a half years after it's launch. I believe in the PS3 and I'm still shocked at the announcement of the PS4.
