Sony On Strong PS4 Developer Support: 'Can You See If One’s Missing?’

Killzone: SF and Uncharted 4 at launch would be insane!!

Galacticos4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

No, I want Uncharted 4 to get more development time.
Fall 2014 would be perfect.

Vickistheman4872d ago

Yea good point.

I think KZ: SF, Infamous SS, DriveClub and Knack are more than enough for launch.

We don't even know about the "launch window" games either. Hopefully The Last Guardian is one of them.

KwietStorm_BLM4872d ago

Yea probably insanely rushed. Definitely don't want them releasing a flagship series just to meet launch 'requirements.' Looks like there will be a good selection of games already.

Ace_Pheonix4872d ago

Naughty Dog has stated that all their properties are already natively a very high resolution (bad recollection of the quote, but they were talking about making next gen games), so maybe a very very beautiful version of The Last of Us at launch? One can hope.

WarThunder4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

Sorry mate. But there will be no Uncharted 4...

Killzone: SF, Knack, DriveClub, Ifamous Second son and The Witness will be at launch...

Tr10wn4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

The Witness is exclusive? i doubt Jonathan Blow will make it exclusive but you never know.

Edited
nevermind is timed exclusive, money talks.

PeaSFor4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

@Tr10wn

money talk?
sry but no money was involved for the timed exclusivity, like Jonathan Blow said himself:

"People have been speculating that I got a money hat for this agreement with Sony, or that we needed to do this in order to fund development of The Witness. Actually, no money was involved at all. There were people at Sony who really liked the game and were keeping in touch with us about it, and so we naturally started going to their PS4 developer events, got a dev kit, and started playing with it"

"Originally we thought we might be on the PS3 or Xbox 360, but eventually we decided not to target either of those due to the relatively low system specs. After some more time went by, and our release date drifted further into the future, we realized that the next-generation console launch time might be a good time to release the game"

"I don’t have good communication with anyone at Microsoft right now, and haven’t been disclosed on their next console, but all our technical people like the PS4 specs a lot more than the leaked Durango specs, and we like the positioning of the PS4 (it’s about games) a lot more than what we perceive Microsoft’s positioning is going to be. We like the PS4 and we like the people at Sony we are working with, so it was an easy choice to make the agreement"

DeadlyFire4872d ago

Sony has only shown us 5 games.

PS3 was unveiled with 20+ upcoming exclusive games in their conference and many more multiplatform titles. Not all of them materialized, but most turned out pretty well.

PS4 will have more revealed at E3. Sure not all at launch, but definitely coming. I could see Uncharted 4 teased for 2014.

I personally expect Planetside 2 and possibly Everquest 3 to come to PS4.

Donnieboi4872d ago

Need more jrpg's. Also some more genre's we dont often see on consoles, like RTS and MMO games. I'm getting ps4 day 1, but I want new types of games, and more creative ways to play them if it's gonna get more play from me over my ps3.

KnacK, this game is a sleeper

the game is like a successor to J&D,R&K and Sly, learning about the director Mark Cerny made me very exited...

@new I'm reading the interview off my iPod,I not sure if there is video attached to it because they don't give much info on each thread.

KillrateOmega4872d ago (Edited 4872d ago )

I just want to get my hands on Infamous: Second Son :) Kicking ass all across Seattle as Delsin Rowe with my smoke powers (which are just the tip of the iceberg apparently)! I'm also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Watch Dogs.

8bitHero4872d ago

while delsin gives me the whole "im a complete tool" vibe if seconds son is a launch title, online play is still free, and the ps4 is $400 or less I'll actually be purchasing a ps4 day one.

KillrateOmega4872d ago

I'm going to get it regardless. I might get it day 1, but I'm still not quite sure.

With the integration of Gaikai I imagine that there will be an optional paid subscription that will provide extra services. I also have a feeling that the console price will be around $400. I can't see them making the same mistake of releasing the console at $600 like they did before.

fei-hung4872d ago

can't ruin all the surprises now can we?!

I am hoping for a new Uncharted and it would be awesome if the Naughty Doggies made a crossover game with the Tomb Raider Team, even if it were just a cameo. The world would be set a light and gamers all over would die of Megaton overload.

WorldGamer4872d ago

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would love to see a next generation Colony Wars. Don't know if Sony still owns that IP tho.

InSpectre4871d ago

That's so cool you remember that game!

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

Cacabunga66d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot65d 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…

HectixRose66d 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.

JEECE66d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername65d 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.

Soy66d ago

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

DarXyde65d 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.

Ashunderfire8665d 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.

Ashunderfire8665d ago (Edited 65d 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.

pwnmaster300066d 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.

solideagle66d 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

Relientk7765d ago

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