Sony Playstation E3 2013 Events

[Carl B]

Not bitter, I just find it amusing that on the one hand some people cheer on Gaikai while on the other hand complain that they can't maintain an internet connection for 24 hours at a time sometimes.

I get your point, but I'm one of those as well... sometimes my Internet can get wonky, but it doesn't mean I don't want the ability to take advantage of cloud-based gaming/services. Especially since that may be my avenue to PS3 B/C. Which... I would love to hear more about. This transitional period is going to be a hassle if I have to keep both consoles around for a year or more to handle the game-release overlap.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

I'm sure you understand the differences, if not let us know.

The difference being that with a 24 hour check you can still play your games if it goes out for a few hours? While with Gaikai if it goes out you can't play your game period?

Regards,
SB

The No DRM was something I never thought would happen ! THere is a GOd after all ! It made up for no ND game showing up !

[Scott_Arm]

So Eyetoy is dead then?

 

[DJ12]

OP summary says The Order was a CG trailer, diddnt they mention it was in-engine?

Yes in engine, clearly stated and confirmed by Laa-Yosh as his company and the other one that do these kind of trailers had no part in it.

Pretty sure it stuttered at one point too although that might have been the stream which was flakey at best.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

there's headset included?

 

[BRiT]

Seems like PS4 Eye is available for preorder via Amazon for $60.

The DS4 (DualShock4) is also up for preorder at $60.

 

[oramay]

Well, basic online multiplayer not free is a bit disappointing, but the overall package is still fine for me. I think I played less than 10 hours online in total in the past year, but a few hundred hours of single player, mostly disc games borrowed from friends. Too bad the PS+ in my region has a record of not being as good value as the US and EU ones. I may have already subscribed otherwise.

The Quantic Dream demo graphics is what I want to see in next gen games. Hopefully more like that in the 2nd or 3rd year of the console's life.

 

[Strange]

also from the pdf.


PS4 + Playstation Eye = 460. Still a very good deal.

 

[Kb-Smoker]

there's headset included?

Yeah it wired to the controller like the x360.

 

[patsu]

So Eyetoy is dead then?

We shall see in Gamescom or TGS or another GDC. It probably won't fit into this presentation. The Sony speakers were too long winded.

 

[messyman]

The AC4 crashing and Destiny occasionally freezing were kinda worrisome. I hope PS4 is well ventilated.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Yes in engine, clearly stated and confirmed by Laa-Yosh as his company and the other one that do these kind of trailers had no part in it.

Strictly speaking there are the following studios in the CG trailer business:

Blur - Batman, League of Legends
Axis - Last Light
Digic - Watch Dogs, AC4

Left for grabs:
Plastic Wac, Realtime UK (The Crew?), perhaps Digital Domain (Halo - they did the first H4 trailer too)

Also the Rayman trailer was CG, someone had to do that too.

 

[jonabbey]

Hi, guys, what's going on in here? ;-)

 

[blakjedi]

And the winner is...... the consumer.

Well, as long as they buy a PS4 obviously.

I'm sure the usual suspects will be spouting the usual DRM is good, $499 is a good price for a console and CG trailers really mean thats how the game will look when it's released.

You are interesting.

Ishare games with at most 3 people.
My console is always connected.
I only sell my games at the end of the consoles life.
Xbl for a year, is less than I spend at a bar on any given weekend.
Ps4 stuttered and crashes several times tonight and showed quite a bit of cg/in-engine just like Xbox did.

Xbox showed almost exclusively gameplay... like when they switched from one game to killer instinct midstream without crashing... you must not have actually watched it.

The games so far look comparable if not identical for the most part.

Talk about incessant bias.

 

[jonabbey]

Amazon has the PS4's camera listed at $70 US, so I'm assuming it's not going to be bundled. Clever way for Sony to get that magic $399 price.

 

[patsu]

Seems like PS4 Eye is available for preorder via Amazon for $60.

The DS4 (DualShock4) is also up for preorder at $60.

Neat. Will have to wait for their PSEye demoes.

 

[BRiT]

So Eyetoy is dead then?

I would be very surprised to see PS4 Eye get any sort of mass adoption considering it's not guaranteed to be on every system.

I'd prefer a $449 - $459 price range instead if it means wide-scale PS4 Eye adoption in every single game.

70? Come on Sony, you make those for far less than 20 dollars.
