Sony Conference Thread: It's over! PS4 confirmed, price/console design unknown.

BYToady

Of course, its apparently now in a 'buy the alpha version and we'll totally finish it someday we swear' mode.

Killzone is a series where I often wonder who exactly plays the games for fun. The first two are
just bland as can be. No idea about three.

I am.of the mind Sony found this mid nineties IP that nobody ever published and bought it. Thats the only way to explain how terrible the names and title are.

-Tal

killzone is pretty much just the console equivalent of crysis

p. standard shooter that is really just an extensive tech demo

Diarmuid

Yeah that's fair, but I got hooked on Killzone 2's MP for a while. It was a lot of fun.
Killzone 3, not so much.

Killzone gave you a squad of four characters with different loadouts and then didn't implement any form of co-op. The mind boggles.

PaperLuigi44

The important thing that Killzone trailer showed is the beautiful future cityscape. If we can get that level of cool future cities on the next generation of consoles (without it being blown to shit, of course) then I will be very happy indeed.

Sagroth

I highly, HIGHLY doubt that there will be any significant time spent in un-blown-up future cities. It will be 90% rubble and corridors.

Wimble

I dunno, man. They might be blown up but I'd be surprised if it wasn't much more detailed and large scale than just your standard brown rubble mess. Corridors won't be necessary from a performance perspective any more so the better FPS experiences will certainly not hamstring themselves with that either

this is my hope, at least

Balefuego

The Killzone demo was very technically impressive but man it looked booooooring as fuck to play.

Most of the other stuff they showed seemed pretty cool though.

ps4 has a ridiculous amount of fast ram so I think we will indeed see bigger areas

-Tal

reminder that the ps4 can hold an entire dvd9 inside its ram

Poorochondriac

I can hold an entire dvd9 in my butt

Wimble

I want the mass effect game with areas like the one from the killzone trailer

I super want to walk around in huge ass cities like that. Super duper

I think Watch Dogs could be the next Assassins Creed game. It hits a lot of the same notes-- conspiracies, gadgets, parkour, cloth physics, stealth, neat melee movies... just without the historical adventure part that drew me to the series. I browsed? surfed? around and I am not alone in thinking that. I hope that is wrong, because I do not want a modern AC game at all.

That hacking shit he does on the fly looks bad as fuck, I am sold on that game.

Pack up the forums, we're done here. We did it. We won.

I'd like the Killzone city, but let me run around on it like Prototype or Spiderman 2 or Hulk. Those buildings are just asking for me to jump off of them and do a flying elbow smash.

Mr Pink

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction 2, featuring entire, fully destructible cities.

Sweeney Tom

A next-gen sequel to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction would honestly be a console-seller for me.

I don't even care for what system, just announce it and I'll go next-gen just for it.

Blake T

Yeah that studio got shut down for making those types of games.

It got shut down for making shitty versions of those types of games

looking over the list of games they made, Hulk Ultimate Destruction was pretty much the only good game they ever made

Blake T

Eh I never played the prototype games.

Ultimate destruction was fun, but I was bad at it and never finished it.

Blake T

Geth, never change.

Thats a huge jump from what the PS3 offered.

Im curious if Microsoft will bother matching it or be more conservative and focus on not making a fireball that runs hotter than the sun.

Would you like to hear the story of how I ended up with 3 copies of the Transporter?

Because I apparently have the worst memory when it comes to if I own that one particular movie or not, and a few Blockbuster stores were going out of business.

Yes hello this is me with the original Devil May Cry

I owned that game for years

I BEAT it a million times

Then one day I am in the store and 'oh Devil May Cry for 5 dollars?!?! Wow!'

I take it home and go to put it into my (alphabetized) DVD book and "FUCK"


Then I shit you not not three months later I am in the EXACT same store and 'oh Devil May Cry for 5 dollars?!?! Wow!'

I get home and go to put it in my DVD book and "FUCK FUCK"

Oh man I hope they learned their lesson.

Wimble

I played a bunch of Prototype. I thought it was mega rad. I love speedy movement that rewards being effective and precise with even faster movement (see: quake)

Prototype 2 seemed rad too but I had some odd performance issues with it on my PC that I couldn't solve so I stopped playing it

Blake T

I do kinda want to play watch dogs though.

To Microsoft: How to top the ps4 announcement

Backwards compatibility.
Let me buy second hand games.
Have less creepy people describe carbon fibre. Or better yet, don't mention it at all.

bsjezz

so are any actual good new games coming out?

Blake T

There is watch dogs, which is modern day, hack anything ACy type game made by a paranoid nutso.

Some car guy made by a weirdo who is obsessed with leather game.

A neat "kids" 3rd person adventure game where the main guy can grow and shrink at will

And a killzone game and bungie's new game which is multiplatform

Blake T

Watch dogs I think genuinely looks cool.

bsjezz

anything as good as the last of us?

bsjezz

man i want to play the crap out of that game. why are we talking about consoles when i don't hve the last of us yet

the last of us

Blake T

Gosh, I'm not sure if I can think of anything worthy of italics.

Balefuego

And a new Infamous!

Blake T

Nothing with that uniqueness though jez no.
