Sony is the jedi I would say. calm composed and wise beyond it's years.
though Mark Cerny kinds looks like Salacious B. Crumb...
paying day one prices is a investment in future installments, if you love a franchise and want a sequel, support it, it's that simple.
I will be buying both Infamous 3 and MGS 5 day one just for that reason.
lol, just getting annoyed that there is 50 dragons crown reviews, and no next gen news worth commenting on.
I agree, except for your last statements factoring into things. THEY HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED WHAT THEY SAID THEY WANTED THE X1 TO DO. This console is not the X1 they revealed in any way, nothing about it is the same, in this case that is a very good thing, because the original X1 was terrible.
cool a dragons crown review. This is exactly what N4G needs, can't believe no one else thought of reviewing this game already.
He says that now, because like everything they say it is bizarro speak.
"No we will not change policy"
"DRM can't just be turned off"
No we will not remove the internet requirment, buy a 360"
"The kinect has to be on, it is integral"
now
"no we will not ever offer a kinect less x1"
love all the straight up fanboyism.
Every thing deserves second chances. They made mistakes, they got greedy. Now they are learning from them. The money lost over the next few years will set them on track to make things that gamers really will like, because they will now see how misguided they've been.
In a couple years when can get it cheap without a kinect I'll totally pick one up, and bet it will be just as good as my PS4 (launch on that one).
The comments...
they better give a firm release date at Gamescom. I want to line up my vacation with it so can make the best out of my investment.
it's not enough.
here's why
yes 12gb is enough for casual non gamers, but Sony needs to turn them INTO gamers. 12 gbs doesn't give them the full experience, it is basically a "lite" version. They won't be able to buy ps+ and be indoctrinated, instead they will only be getting the casual aspects.
they need at least 60gb, that way they can get plus and without investing in games can learn why games are so good.
if someone had a 12gb ps3 ...
the ps3 is 6 year old technology. So YES it should only be 150$. By this point last gen we saw the PS2 at like 100-150$ range, and with the ps4 coming out at 400$ and being something like 12x the power, the ps3 implied worth will be taking a nose dive.
if you don't agree go out and buy the overpriced useless new model. I think most people are aware how pointless 12gb is for 200$ hell even an ipod has 16gb for less.
Good for you!! let's all clap for the antisocial shut in
"clap clap clap"
I buy a console to play games but I use it for many other things too. those extra things may not factor into my purchase choice, but appreciate them being there.
I am looking forward to showing crazy glitches in the eventually coming Fallout 4.
I am interested in sharing my community content I make for the upcoming Media Molecule ps4 game to youtube so peo...
a let down :( Was hoping for a big E3 like press conference. I'm a sony fan but now that the kinect isn't mandatory it means that eventually a model sans kinect will be made and that I will pick up.
So my interest is peaking on the xbox, they really should do a conference to capture new people now that all the negs are gone that have kept people away.
I'm a fanboy and I can smell fanboy, and that sir is fanboy talk.
You are just forcing yourself to see every move they make as wrong. You can't accept that they are redeeming theirselves because that in your eyes makes the PS4 less outstanding. Get over it. It will lead to the PS4 being better because now they have to work for it. E3 was handed to them. Next week we should see them actually try because now they need to step up the game. This will be epic.
at only 12gb this shouldn't cost more than 149$ 200$ is way too much, and will hurt them.
It really should be a 60gb at 169$ that is the sweet spot. Enough space to warrant getting ps+ and anyone who gets Ps+ will become a sony fanboy. which would mean more money down the line.
12gb isn't enough, hell I got a 40gb model and can't even download the free Uncharted 3 campaign on PS+ because it is more than my total harddrive even if everything was deleted.
I'm deeply entrenched in the Sony camp, but I can respect them changing to appease their customers. This article and the dozen others like it that sprouted up after the announcement are ridiculous.
It's a good thing they are changing. Now I will probably buy one myself in 3 or 4 years, once enough cheap content has accumulated.
I bet you it is Uncharted 4. my powers of deduction say YES.
my wishlist
1 Hot Shots Golf announced as a launch title. This would greatly improve their launch lineup and offer a game with a great amount of replay value (had like 300hrs into the ps3 one)
2 Naughty Dog game, don't care if it's a new IP or an existing one
3 Santa Monica, please no more hack and slash. you're too good for that, especially now that they got a battlestar writer onboard.
4 either a return of Jak o...
the Media Molecule tech demo made me want the camera so badly. If that ever comes out as a game I will go out and buy one. I like that it is optional.
How exactly is the xbox destroying anything but itself?
It is weaker, more costly, and has less talent behind it.
great, was hoping there would be a live stream, too bad MS isn't livestreaming too.
hope to see a hot shots golf announcement, hopefully as a launch title.
