The controls doesn't look too good. Camera seems like it's always at the character's back. It would ba a shame if it doesn't control like dark souls or dragon's dogma.
Just great. They should have had a poll before they started making a device that no one's gonna buy. Seriously though this is gonna be a tough one for them. Feels more like a novelty than a necessity. Not a fan of FPS but it would be interesting to see it work with motion and the camera. For other games though? Moving the right stick is a lot easier than moving your neck.
If you were playing in a really really big room and the console is hooked up to a projector that might make some sense. Otherwise its gonna be a pain crowding 8 people in front of the TV. Really useful feature... really.
Would have liked it better if it was a new dragon's dogma. Dark Arisen was a lot of fun. Still, deep down seems pretty interesting especially if it plays like dogma. And a MMO version is pretty cool.
Kinda interesting bit I doubt It'd be any good. Even Google now is annoying to use so I really doubt Sony is any closer to a really good voice recognition software. Also the fact that's it feels kinda pointless for navigation.
Ugh, same thing with revengeance. The Vita's already showing signs of obsolete horsepower. Specially compared to today's phones. I thought I had one hell of a machine when I bought the Vita, now just a year later it's lagging way behind my phone (at least in processor and memory). Vita's in such a bad spot, if they'd jacked up the power they'd have to jack up the price. And people would just the same be complaining. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
@get2sammyb you got me there. Seriously, do you have to mention PS4 and (lack of) Japanese centric games? Now I'm depressed. It makes sense though that they'll hold it off till TGS, but it 's still kinda strange cause there still a western market for these kind of games so why so tight lipped? Unless there really isn't anything significant coming this year. Or maybe I'm just too impatient?
First person free running? What? Seriously? Free running is so fun to watch because it's cool to actually see the stunts they pull. I'm not really sure how I'm going to enjoy watching flailing hands. I guess I'm just gonna have to use my imagination at what the character is actually doing while free running. That's so fun! How unbelievably pointless. No thanks.
Seriously are they even planning to release any Japanese games aside from knack? This is my biggest problem with PS4, the games! I know FPSs are sellers but not everyone likes them. I have to wait till next year for FFXV and dark souls 2. And guess what? They're not even exclusive. C'mon Sony a bit more diversity at launch please.
This is probably a bad idea but the perfect gun controller can be now be made from the DS4 and camera. 2 sticks, light tracked by cam. It now has the 2nd stick for looking that was missing in the ps move gun cons. It might just work.
@MadchesterManc I'm with you. Are there really no Japanese devs that capcom can give this project to? And why do they have to choose double helix? What's up with that? Do they seriously want this to fail? Why do I have so many questions? Great job letting clover go capcom.
A lot of games that people play on the PC are F2P. It's not a model that should be ignored. In fact I think I would be good if the same kind of games will be adopted to the PS4. The more people playing on the PS4 the better.
As much as I love my Vita I'm willing to let it take the backseat for now. The focus should be capturing next gen. I'm sure if PS4 becomes successful more devs will start to see game sales potential in the Vita. I'm sure even ports will help sell Vita.
Definitely picking it up. Maybe not at launch since they still don't have a game that fully supports the cam. It's really interesting to see how developers are going to use it.
Just drop the damned price already. Unit and memory cards. It's time for Sony to take one for the team. Let's face it price drop is the only thing that can sell the vita, let's stop wasting time waiting for a killer app that's not coming. Just do a Nintendo please.
How can it not be good? 499 with the camera, they slashed it to 399 instead of 439. What's not good about that IGN?! People can still pick up the cam for 60 bucks. Still 40 bucks savings than if they bundled it with the PS4.
I can still remember ornstein and smough. I almost broke my controller in half. Oh the frustrations! Anyway, happy as I am that I can play this on my PS3, I really think it would be much better on PS4's hardware. Faster load times, no blightown lag, 1080p, I could go on...
Definitely longer. If you think about CDs (music), a song compressed into a 5mb file will do for almost everyone. People can store hundreds or thousands of songs in a multi-gig player. But it's a lot different with games. Game size just keeps increasing. 40-gig sizes may just be the norm with next gen consoles. They're gonna fill up that HDD pretty fast. You'll end up deleting games when you run out of space. Might be a lot easier to just insert a disc.
I doubt if it'll be a good idea to have a bundle with the camera since they don't have a game that supports it yet. Too bad FFXV isn't a launch title, it would've been awesome.
This is actually a pretty cool feature. There are a lot of funny moments when gaming that really deserves to be seen by others. Might not be a pretty big deal but it's great to have.
Smart for MS to do a 180 so early. The thing about Xbox's previous issues is that they will be totally forgotten by the time Xbox launches. They'll make it look like they're a company that listens to its consumers, rather almost screwing the consumers. MS gets away! Genius! Evil but genius.
I'm sure all is forgiven now in Xbox land. Even with the PS4's 100 dollar advantage, NA will probably still go for Xbox. I'm sure MS will be bragging about TV and kinect as their advantage and people will eat it up.
That's pretty much like DS3, move, and vita in one. I know a lot of people hate motion controls, but adding it to the controller wouldn't hurt. It just opens up the DS4 to a lot more possibilities. I hope some developers can really take advantage of the DS4's potentials.

@MadchesterManc I'm really jealous about that. Yakuza Ishin? No fair.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a Virtual Reality Headset for Your PS4?

I'm still waiting for TGS before I can really say yeah or meh. Fingers crossed.

Re: Here's Your Very First Official PlayStation 4 Hardware Bundle
MS is gonna have a hard time topping that. I hope they have the same great deal for other regions.

Re: Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime Not Very Impressed with the PS4's Launch Lineup
Zelda? Mario? Donkey Kong? Please Nintendo, stop it! I've played games since the first Mario Bros. and I'm just sick of those titles. It's 2013!
Re: Feature: Eight PS4 Titles That You'll Be Able to Play for Free This Year
@ShogunRok warframe definitely!
I'm actually more excited about the free to play than the launch line up. Savings for me. Now if only TGS would come sooner...

Re: Xbox One Developer Concedes That PS4 Is More Powerful
I don't think it would even be noticeable. 1080p is 1080p. Also multiplatform games would probably be scaled down so it works on both systems.
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Will Play Like a Dream on PS Vita
I hope other developers are taking remote play seriously too. A shame if it doesn't live up to the promise again.
Re: PS4 Will Make Playing Your Digital Titles Anywhere a Lot Easier
MS dropped the ball on this one.

Re: E3 2013: Sony's Not Going to Lock Entertainment Apps Behind a Paywall
Free online play on free to play. Wow! You don't even have to worry about buying games if you're short on cash at launch!
Re: E3 2013: See the PS4 Camera in Action in the Playroom
That's pretty much like DS3, move, and vita in one. I know a lot of people hate motion controls, but adding it to the controller wouldn't hurt. It just opens up the DS4 to a lot more possibilities. I hope some developers can really take advantage of the DS4's potentials.
Re: E3 2013: You'll Need a PS Plus Subscription to Play PS4 Online
It does say PS4, but I wonder if they'll also require it for vita and PS3 when PS4 launches?
