Re: Feature: We Predict the Stories Set to Shape PS4 and Vita in 2014

I predict that PlayStation Now is going to be successful, especially if they can manage to get third parties on board with the idea. If it's limited to just first party titles, then I still see it doing moderately well.

I'm expecting some pretty big Vita news at E3. Likely another price drop to $170-$175 or a confirmation that Freedom Wars is getting localized, though it seems highly unlikely that it won't.

Also, I expect Media Molecule and Santa Monica to drop some bombs and blow some minds with whatever they're working on. E3 would also be a good place for Sony to showcase its (rumoured) headset, as that's where all the people who are likely to buy it will congregate.

Finally, I'm really looking forward to PlayStation Executives Battle Royale and Kaz's show. If neither one happens, then I don't think I could go on living.

Re: How Important Is PS4's Early Sales Advantage? Not At All, Says Sony

I predicted that Japan would be the one to hit the 5Mil mark, but it looks like the US and EU will handle that themselves. I expect Japan to push sales to at least 7.2Mil within the PS4's first month on shelves.

All that aside, Sony is smart to keep the momentum going. If they take their foot off the gas for even a second, they may regret it.

Re: Feature: Thinking of Throwing Out Your PS3? These Upcoming Titles Should Change Your Mind

I'm still playing through The Last of Us, Ascension, Ni no Kuni, Puppeteer, GTA V, Tomb Raider and the Ratchet and Clank collection, so Raven (Yes, I named her) isn't going anywhere anytime soon - not to mention I'm still waiting for Lightning to return.

Even if I weren't still busy with those games, I would still keep her to use as a Blu-ray player and because all my pictures and music are there.

The Last of Us definitely deserves the award, everything about it is worthy of the highest praise. It seems like The Last of Us is nominated for a new award every week, yet it didn't win GOTY? That's bull.

I'm glad to see Ascension up there, I thought it had a good story and was only brought down by the fact that Santa Monica promised us a more human Kratos, but failed to deliver outside of a few moments.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Now Clears the Cloud on Sony's Vision of the Future

@Subie98 Have you not seen the Xperia Z Ultra or the new Sony Bravia TV with TRILUMINOUS display? Not even their new TV'S, I have an older Bravia and it's picture quality is amazing.

@-CraZed- I understand what Sony's plan is, but I'm thinking about my descendants who won't get to experience the joy that comes with unboxing a brand new PlayStation.

PlayStation Now is a great idea and could help convert smartphone gamers to the PlayStation brand.

Re: Star Wars 1313's Creative Director Plots a Course for PS4

I'm still furious that Disney cancelled Star Wars 1313. It was the first Star Wars game I've genuinely been excited for in years, then Disney buys Lucas Arts and throws pretty much everything into the furnace.

On topic: I hope he's at Santa Monica helping out with The Order, that game seems right up his alley. Then again, Santa Monica is working on a space based sci-fi game, so he'd be a big help there.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS Vita Stretches Its Legs with Strong Sales

@Sanquine It makes sense if you really think about it. Sony is smart enough to realize that they'll likely never beat Nintendo when it comes to handhelds, so they're focusing more on home consoles.

Do I like it? No, but it's not like SCEA or SCEE have given up on it, there have been a surprising number of announcements for 3rd party games that will be coming (multiplatform, but still).

Then there's PlayStation Now, which as I said yesterday, essentially turns the Vita into a PS1, PS2, PS3 and portable PS4 - then there's the Vita's own library of games
