I expect "greatness" will we receive it is to be answered! i sure hope so

MrSec844023d ago

Yep, tonnes of stuff is in development.
You just know Sony has a few huge games to announce at E3 for this Fall and loads of stuff for 2016.

The list of potentials is huge.
This E3 should be awesome for Sony!

FarEastOrient4023d ago

This article only talked about 7 studios. There's 21 studios, should've put a guess for the rest.

OB1Biker4023d ago

I would like Sony to show off what they got even if it's CGI like Ms did last year but it seems they want to show new stuff at every event and keep things under wraps.
Hopefully there's no leak like last year 'project Beast' made it seem Sony show underappreciated by many who should have been mind blown by the reveal instead.

Rookie_Monster4023d ago

We will see a couple of new games for 2016-2017 from their first party studio. I don't think any blockbuster AAA will be released this year. Very unfortunate as I am hoping my PS4 will be more busy this holidays.

Blackleg-sanji4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Multiplats?

In what way is that exciting tho? You had halo and forza last holiday? And you're telling me outta all the ps exclusives releasing from now until December noting interests u

Rookie_Monster4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

My PC is for multiplat. My 2 consoles are for exclusives. Lucky Halo 5, Forza 6, and Tomb Raider are still exclusives I can look forward to this Fall. Advantage of having all the hardware at my disposal.

BitbyDeath4023d ago

Halo and Forza you can expect every year.
Tomb Raider isn't bad though, won't be as good as Until Dawn but still decent.

buttcheeks4023d ago

Lol i can guarantee you they announce at LEAST one triple a game for the holiday

guyman4023d ago

You're only fooling yourself if you think that.

"I don't think any blockbuster AAA will be released this year".
I've seen you troll, you just dont want sony to release any games.

But it's no surprise coming from you. There has not been one exclusive released this year for xbox one, for the reason of packing everything up into october/november to dominate the holidays. This year already, the order 1886 and bloodborne have been released. Persona 5 and until dawn will release this year too and Sony will definitely announce another AAA exclusive to compete with the exclusives annpunced on the xone for end year.

Then there are indies such as alienation, everybody has gone to rapture, rime, etc. which are going to be brilliant but i wont count those because i know you dont count indies as games.

Wonderbook 2: The Book Of Boredom

Army_of_Darkness4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Wonder book.... The game Sony spent half the time demoing but no one gave a sh*t about and was a total flop... Sony, please don't waste precious E3 time on useless crap like that ever again. Show games that gamers want to see(hopefully more Morpheus this time)

Kingscorpion714023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

I believe we will see more games at the PlayStation experience press conference this fall

Germany74023d ago

Let's hope for God of War, Gran Turismo and The Last Guardian. Probably it will show new IPs, Horizon, Until Dawn, Ratchet & Clank, Rime, The Tomorrow Children, Shadow of the Beast, No Man's Sky.
Would be great more details of Wild too.

DigitalRaptor4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

Yep. We constantly hear from others that PS4 has a weak first-party.

Well, when their first-party was busy pushing PS3 games in its final big 2 years on the market more than the other 2 guys, it's not surprising that they were stretched thin when it came to PS4. As I've said for years, Sony takes 1-2 years to get the ball rolling on first-party stuff every single generation they've been around in this industry, and yet people are acting like it's a weakness.

I look at games like RiME and they remind me of the way in which Sony trusted in Team Ico in the early PS2 days, and since then have secured 2 classics. I look at The Tomorrow Children, and it reminds me of the inventiveness and wacky creativity of Keita Takahashi's Katamari. I look at WiLD and I look back to when Michel Ancel was creating his new (now classic) IPs in Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil. I look at No Man's Sky and it looks to just be another great unique IP in the history of PlayStation that explores new ground. These are the indies that could break ground - and they are decidedly and rightfully some of Sony's biggest games. AAA is now an uncertain term to me when I think of games. It's about time a AAA publisher gave games like this shoulders to stand on in terms of mass market recognition. If you don't let these great (potentially timeless) ideas flourish, then they get ignored for the sometimes less deserving products.

Horizon is going to be Sony's big AAA reveal at E3.
It's going to paralyse eyeballs.

Bend Studio's open-world horror game could be shown.

Street Fighter V will be there with more character reveals and a playable build.

Gran Turismo will more than likely be there and probably announced as a Morpheus launch game (I hope).

Media Molecule is confirmed to be showing their new game this year. It will probably be E3.

I'm convinced The Last Guardian is coming this year, but how many times have all of us said that? It became a PS4 game around 2012, but I'm convinced this year is the one. Feel free to laugh at me when Andrew House thanks us all for watching and it's left for another year.

Ratchet & Clank Redux will get a world-first demo, and it will look beautiful and play smoothly. Based on all the previous multiplayer Ratchet games, I hope they leave it well alone.

I think Persona 5 will get a small slice of stage presence. This is my most anticipated.

Sony London will have their Morpheus game to show, as well as the rest of the studios working on Morpheus. They have to build hype for this thing, and no place better than E3, less than a year before its release.

All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. All of Sony's first-party studios have been in development now for long enough to have a project ready to at least show. It's going to be great - perhaps not as packed as some people expect, since they have about 5 shows to attend this year. Oh and the Japanese games are coming, yes they're coming.

Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses

andy8529d ago

Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price

Pergele29d ago

Whatever you say buddy, let's all wear the tinfoil hats.

IceKoldKilla29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?

ChunkyMonk29d ago

One game that Sony payed $200 million for. lol
Also, you sure were quick to get triggered. Maybe your the one who needs a hug?

Eonjay29d ago

If nothing else, we should be united against the real issue here. AI and unnecessary tariffs that are effecting all gamers.

Athlon10129d ago (Edited 29d ago )

The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.

S2Killinit28d ago

Its not the war. Its the RAM issue.

jznrpg28d ago

War is causing gas prices to rise. Transport of everything requires gas so the prices of those items go up as well. So it does have an impact

Athlon10128d ago (Edited 28d ago )

The blockage of the Straight of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war has affected raw components used in semi-conductor manufacturing such as bromine, aluminum, and helium. Iran had attacked the liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in Qatar which is a large producer (1/3 globally) of helium which is used in semiconductor etching. So it's the both the war and the RAM crises.

badz14929d ago

Oh no...should I get the Pro now before the price increase?

I dont think that'll ever happen. But i must say back in the day, they were definitely trying because they were more cash rich than their competitors.

CosmicTurtle42d ago

I think MS were and still are the richer company. They tried to acquire Sega back in the day (and considered doing so again more recently), they obviously bought exclusivity to Halo which was originally shown as a Mac title. I don’t think as a company MS can claim the moral high ground here. It’s a wilful lack of self awareness.

Of course Sony would try exactly the same if they had the resources, but when the PS2 dominated the industry was in a much healthier place with an abundance of great third parties.

This has been a depressing generation as far as first party decisions are concerned. The fact we are debating business plans rather than which game is better is a sad reflection of the state of things.

Darkseeker42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

There was Nintendo as well, Sony wouldn't have had a monopoly. In fact, the world would be better today if Xbox never existed in the first place. They pretty much brought all bad practices we have today. We might have gotten all of it either way, but not this early. In term of franchises, I don't think there is anything Microsoft released that would actually be missed if it didn't exist. Even Halo the world wouldn't notice if Halo didn't exist.

S2Killinit42d ago

MS was definitely a bad influence on gaming.

raWfodog42d ago

I think almost everyone will agree that a monopoly is not good for the industry. But that being said, the competition needs to be smart and strategic with their business. Simply buying up publishers and traditional third-party studios just to keep them out of the other companies reach is not a sustainable practice. That goes for all parties so don't think I'm just referring to Xbox.

I'm no business guru by any stretch of the imagination but I firmly believe that the best way to drive consumers to your software and hardware is to invest smart in your first-party studios. Give them full support and guidance in making unique, fun games that are only available to play in your ecosystem and the gamers will come.

Reaper22_42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

But first party studios aren't enough. They only make up a small portion of the industry. Without 3rd party there would be no industry for Microsoft or sony.Developing games take time and money and sometimes you gotta make moves to stay competitive.

raWfodog42d ago

Nah, I never said first-party was enough. I said it’s the ‘best way’ to drive gamers to your platform. 3rd-party is a free-for-all and there’s no guarantee that gamers will use your hardware to play the game. If you want to push your own software and/or hardware you need first-party, or at least exclusive deals with third-party studios.

SimpleDad42d ago

They Shure did a great job... 25 years later Xbox is dead.

Reaper22_42d ago

Then why be so emotional and continue to talk about it. Xbox will never die be ause it stays in so many people's head.

lodossrage42d ago

How can you even see him being "emotional" in that comment?

If anything, you're the emotional one, constantly trying to go at anyone that says anything against Microsoft. So when you call him emotional, it comes off as deflection

Elda42d ago

I own an XBSX & I can say it's becoming irrelevant out of the 3 current consoles.
