But seriously. It's not like they weren't clear on what would be occurring in the game.
I can't wait because of the incredible lulz.
I have just absolutely the word schadenfreude; I love to watch video game train wrecks.
It's why /r/SimCity was my go-to subreddit for months without ever owning SimCity 5.
I'll believe this "power of the cloud" hype when I see it. SimCity claimed the same shenanigans and then a few months later it turns out that there are no server-side calculations occurring, and that was a big PR scam.
Look, I'm not claiming to be an expert, but this is sounding like what we heard for SimCity 2013 and that turned out to be a crock of shit--there are no server-side calculations.
I think this has to do with the different outlooks of Tanimura-san and Shibuya-san.
I've heard joked on multiple occasions that Tanimura-san is basically Miyazaki-san in another form. My personal joke is that Tanimura-san can safely replace him because Miyazaki-san "hated himself" so much that he made Demon's Souls and Dark Souls for himself, as a punishment; Tanimura-san just hates everyone else, so the end result is the same.
Obviously he ...

Oh, ok. So you support their DRM practices. Got it.
Launch games? No. I can tell you what we know so far, which is essentially launch window games (within 6 months to a year of launch, some of them will be at launch I'm sure):

Sony didn't do this. We actually do have footage of PS4 crashes and it was this:

(There was a potential bit of a fiasco with "APP_HOME(Host)" but according to people who claim to know better than I know (I know nothing either way) that is typical language for a devkit that is expected most of the time to be running code of...
Well, I'll give you points for chutzpah.
Oh no they're going to give the game features that the community begged them for on BF3!
Game changer right here folks!
I have played RAGE. It's boring. It's a linear shooter pretending to be open-world, with a driving minigame tacked onto it and then used to make the in-between bits take longer as opposed to just loading the next goddamn level when I'm done.
Chrome? I have not played.
(In response to your comment below; easier for you to see if I comment here)
STALKER is the only game on this list that fits fairly. It is a shooter, but in many ways it's fairly similar to FO3, especially since first person is the assumed default of Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
It's a joke, vgopal.
It's a pun based on Bethesda's reputation for releasing games that don't work as intended at launch.
RAM isn't going to suddenly double the framerate, but actually, if you have double the RAM, you can hold double the textures in memory. Probably more than double, since not everything scales equally, and you can always use better textures (whereas, say, pathing information isn't going to scale much).
Paid online: got them there. With that said, according to Xbox fanboys, the big advantages of their system (much faster patches, especially) were because of the paid system. Hopefully we can see some of that now that the PS4 is paid online.
As far as "fees on used games to play online" -- all they're doing is not changing the status quo. EA was the big driving force behind online passes, and they just declared they were not doing them any more.
Fallout 4, Mount and Blade 2.
@MysticStrummer "Sony fans declaring total victory need to remember how the PS3's price tag was received at first, and all the doom and gloom that followed."
PS3's price tag was--correctly--criticized (much worse than X1 to be honest), and their sales bore the brunt of the fallout from that.
I don't want to say it wasn't boring up until the end. My experience with most of these conferences is that they're boring up until it's time to turn off the stream and then you're entertained by doing something else.
That said, I watched maybe the last 20 minutes (maybe) and I liked the Destiny footage (though it's not exclusive in any way, shape, or form)
But PS4 ships for $400, with a $50 Kinect competitor in the form of PS Eye. Do I know if it's "As good?" I do not. But we have an opportunity to see what Sony wants to charge for their answer to Kinect, whether that answer is competitive or not.
If a dubious line of argument is being reinforced by an anecdote, then calling into question the validity or truth of that anecdote isn't pedantic, it's a basic arguing tactic.
