Good news for Sony, devs seem to like the system.

"A developers dream"

That's what the first Square Enix guy said right?

BanBrother4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

"Blastoise

It may have been the Capcom guy. He was funny as.

EDIT: LOL @Randy Sh**ford coming out of his hole.

Also, when it showed like all the developers comments on the PS4 during the conference video, Randy got to talk the longest. Bet he can't wait to be the first person next-gen to F*** us over again lol.

Army_of_Darkness4830d ago

PC developers very excited and happy with PS4.
PC fanboys worried and probably already dislike it. hahaaha!
PS4= exclusive first party games+ formally exclusive PC games;-)

TheGamerDood4830d ago

Hopefully we'll see that love get transmuted into awesome games!

ABizzel14830d ago

The PS4 announcement was all around great.

The only thing hardware-wise that's a bit shaky was the Jaguar APU. They're just not powerful CPU's, however with it being an APU we're getting a few features that a traditional CPU would not be able to do on it's own, such as greater graphics processing from the dedicated GPU, nd makes the system less energy consuming, which produces less heating problems. A give and take.

I wish they went with a custom Trinity AMD-A10-5800k, or custom Steamroller APU which should be a bit better, but nevertheless, I'm happy with everything the PS4 has to offer.

Exactly what I wanted and expected from Sony. MS you're up.

Also 8GB GDDR5 FTMFW :D

Sarcasm4830d ago

8GB GGDR5 is the Megaton, at least to developers.

Which I don't blame considering on PS3 they had to work split 512MB and 360's 512MB lol.

jivah4829d ago

The only thing I'm curious about is that cpu.. seems really weak being an ultra low power mobile processor. Hopefully they beef it up a bit idk...I needa see more...its a must buy but gotta see more

John Carmack happy with a Sony Console? Must have done something right lol

Yes Sony have just basically built a PC here with extremely flexible and familiar hardware to anyone that has worked with a PC.

piroh4830d ago

good news for talented studios since games aren´t made by hardware, games are made by people. most powerfull HW such as PS4 won´t help lazy people such as Crytek to make great games

shutupand take my money....

lol i couldnt disagree with you more lol Kz 2 was by far better than crysis 2 and 3 in terms of gameplay, fun factor, visuals and mp. Even kz3 was better. I find crysis games to be the most generic and boring affairs!!!!!!

Either which way i like what Sony have done thats how you start off nxt gen.......

adorie4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

I would haveagreed with you, but then you said visuals.

Crysis 1 is the better game than 2, 3 looks more akin to 2, which I found dull after the first play through.

These games need more replay value than just MP.
MP seems to be an excuse to skimp out on the juicy story and content, shelved later for DLC, cash schemes.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga16d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot14d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose16d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE16d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername15d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy16d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde15d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8615d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8615d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300016d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
