I'm guessing this means the PS4 aswell

JoGam4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

Question is if not the PS4, which one will you buy? PS3 or PS4? I may still buy the PS4 version just because its next gen.

Hydrolex4004d ago

Why PS3 ? I wanna see PS4... I don't take my PS3 serious anymore after the PS4 announcement... I'd sell it tomorrow if R* announces GTA V for PC or PS4

Sandmano4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

Yeah your right I forgot about GTA, the ballad of gay tony and the lost and the damned...

thechosenone4004d ago

Woo hoo! *happy dance* :D PS4Life!

chcolatesnw4004d ago

"Why PS3 ? I wanna see PS4... I don't take my PS3 serious anymore after the PS4 announcement... I'd sell it tomorrow if R* announces GTA V for PC or PS4"

WHAAAAAAAA??
What about Last of Us and Beyond. And even if it wasn't for those I'm keeping my PS3 strictly for the Uncharted series. Uncharted 2 and 3 are some of the best gaming playthroughs I've ever had, and I wish to replay them on an yearly basis at least once.
Excellent story combined with cinematic graphics and gameplay.

Sevir4004d ago

250-600 dollar investment, as if games aren't coming anymore because the next gen is coming...

You'd sell your ps3 just to play cross gen ports? You're behaving as if The Last of Us, Beyond:2S, Puppeteer, Gran Turismo 6 and whatever Other Exclusive they announce at E3. The PS4 is coming but the PS3 will continue to get original content, long after the PS4 has launched, I don't think Sony will stop producing PS3 exclusives for another 2 year's. So hang on to that ps3... There's no way to transfer over those games to PS4, no BC.

slapedurmomsace4004d ago

@hyrdro...why man?? To this day the PS3 is still one of the best blu ray players, just keep it as an extra, even if it's just for that.

And here I am planning on buying a super slim when the ps4 is released cause I don't like the way my reg slim is starting to sound.

jimbobwahey4004d ago

Since Sony is being sketchy about the PS4 playing PS3 games (the confusion over whether Gaikai will or will not stream them) I think that they'll probably rerelease their big PS3 exclusives on the PS4 at some point.

Sony realized that the tactic worked well with HD remasters of PS2 games on the PS3, so they'll probably do the same thing again. I can see an Uncharted trilogy and God of War 3/IV pack being released for the PS4 at some point. I've no doubts that they'll port over Beyond: Two Souls and The Last of Us as well.

Obviously it's a gamble assuming this since Sony hasn't commented, but I can see why somebody would be selling their PS3 right now to put the cash down on a PS4 preorder, before the value of the PS3 drops in a few months.

60 minutes of 'Ubisoft additional content'/ Probably flag collecting.

LOL_WUT4004d ago

I gotta admit that was pretty funny ;)

Transporter474004d ago

Yeah most likely i'm only buying the PS4 Version.

PraxxtorCruel4004d ago

The 60 minutes of extra just like Assassins creed, which turned out to be what exactly? 15 minutes? Nevertheless better than nothing I guess!

showtimefolks4004d ago

Sony is really stepping their game up and are taking the exclusive DLC part serious

Lets see E3 is gonna be a lot of fun. If rumors flying around are true than a lot of big publishers are picking sides on who they will make exclusive content for or even games

I doubt a 3rd party publisher would agree to do exclusive game bit I guess enough money can make it happen

DonFreezer4004d ago

Sony is taking their dlc part serious but when Microsoft does it you bush them because they have no exclusives and they steal dlc content from other consoles right?

showtimefolks4004d ago

DonFreezer

i don't bash anyone, i give my opinion. You can see my comment history

early on i thought it was stupid but MS proved that exclusive DLC does matter and i am glad sony learn from that experience.

both systems will be about the same specs wise so in a way both console makers need exclusive content to gain the attention of gamers

GTA dlc was stupid because MS through it would sell into millions upon millions and it didn't but COD and Bethesda DLC deals are actually very smart

in a perfect world all dlc would come to every console at the same time but this is a business and everyone is looking for some sort of advantage

MS did soe very smart things looking into future

original xbox requires broadband no option for dial up

xblive service a killer service set up early for long term

locking DLC

but they also made some stupid ones too, like not every xbox360 with harddrive or not built in wifi into earlier models but they made the changes so i guess everything is ok as long as they learned from their mistakes and improve

IAmLee4004d ago

At the end of a trailer it says, 'to be released on current gen consoles as well,' or something along them lines, so it's looking like a PS4/720 title too :D

On a side note, I'm refraining from watching this, as I want everything to be new to me when I'm playing it for the 1st time. :')

Syntax-Error4004d ago

Why would anyone buy a $500 system to play a $60 game that will be released on current gen w/ no significant improvements? It's not like having to choose a title being made for NES and Super Nintendo.

hkgamer4004d ago

They not buying a ps4 specifically for this game... I would laugh at anyone who buys a next gen console then only purchases multiplatform/generation games.

I'm planning to buy ps4 and purchase a few exclusives. If I have any spare cash, I provably will get this game aswell

And most likely next gen version too..

DonFreezer4004d ago

If those 60 minutes were announced for the 360 or the Wii U i bet we would see you all Sony drones crying to your death about Microsoft or Nintendo caring only about exclusive content.

hkgamer4004d ago

Everybody wants exclusive content, actually most gamers want content even if it isn't exclusive. Think people get pissed off because ma spending money and sonly being cheap.

Here we go again about exclusive content...

Sandmano4004d ago

I think MS started it with COD.

JoGam4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

Was it COD or GTA? I know Both.

FITgamer4004d ago

Nothing wrong with exclusive content, unless its timed exclusive content(Like M$ with COD) Just seems like a waste of $.

insomnium24004d ago

People do lap it up and love it though. They have no choise.

AngelicIceDiamond4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

The exact same thing fanboys cried about all this gen will rejoice over it now that its PlayStation's doing it.

Let the hypocrisy begin.

@Minato Ubisoft didn't give it to them for free, Sony decided pay for it again. How can MS use that so called "50million" to bring in new games when they're all being made for 720 at this whole time?

Minato-Namikaze4004d ago

No we said it wasnt something a company should waste 50 million on when that money could be used to make 2 or 3 games instead.

Software_Lover4004d ago

Microsoft made it possible for the game to be released. They were severely over budget and no one else would flip the bill.

So you would rather the game not be released.

fabod864004d ago

I think that you are mistaking it with LA Noire...

Minato-Namikaze4004d ago

Where is this proof that sony paid for this from Ubisoft? We dont know what was given in exchange.

@software lover
You're telling me GTA 4 was in danger of not being released? Or is there another game that i am missing that MS paid 50 mil for DLC content (not including the 75 million they paid to stop GTA4 from being PS exclusive).

Pinkdolphin4004d ago

Ahahahaha!!!!! Oh yea lets assume ubisoft was feeling kind and generous and did it for free because they love sony. The lengths fanboys go sometimes.... Please just stop.

MysticStrummer4004d ago

That's not what "fanboys" have complained about and you should know that, as much as you're on here ( commenting on PS3 articles ). MS decided to spend money on acquiring timed exclusive content rather than on real exclusives. You may like that but many people don't, including 360 fans.

4004d ago
MysticStrummer4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

@DK286K - I guess that depends on your idea of what a healthy balance is.

And no, I have nothing but circumstantial evidence and the testimony of all my friends that used to have a 360 to tell me that MS spent more on marketing and timed DLC than on exclusives.

You're still not understanding what I meant though. As long as Sony does it AND brings a large number of new IPs, yes it is ok. If they go the MS route, no it won't be ok. You're acting like only Sony fans think MS did that, which isn't true.

EDIT - The dumbest thing about AngelicIceDiamond's comment is that Sony was already doing it to some extent this generation. This isn't new, but MS did more of it for sure.

Hicken4004d ago

Actually, people complained because they spent money on this for multiple titles while the exclusive GAMES dried up.

Geez, if make things up to try and prove your point, your whole argument falls flat. The $50 million, for example, was for GTA; that was early enough in this gen that it COULD have been used on another game, as I doubt they were making "all" the games for 720.

And really, what kind of weak excuse is that? Are you Xbox guys SERIOUSLY buying into that? "They're not making any games for 360 cuz they're making games for 720."

So why can Sony do both? I heard Microsoft has more studios than Sony, too. Someone in a recent article even went as far as to count the different teams of MS developers, while not counting the multiple teams at ND, GG, and others.

Even so, Sony's supporting THREE CONSOLES with lots of games; why can't Microsoft seem to maintain ONE?

They should encourage people to buy next generation not staying on this generation -.- .

aquamala4004d ago

console makers want people to move on to the next generation

why would third party developers care? it's the same to them if you buy the $60 PS3 version or the $60 PS4 version

Salooh4004d ago (Edited 4004d ago )

Because it's easier to develop for and will evolve gaming. I know that they are seeking money but before this bullshit, new consoles bring new opportunity to new ips to be famous because of the lack of games. Therefore, they try to bring the best game they ever could but now it's a sales race only. This is a new thing just like the dlc's , pass codes and DRM..etc

Watch dog is a day one on ps4 but I'm just saying why some people are disappointed and see different thing happening. Developers blamed the companies for limiting them which is true but now when they got what they want they go the easy way instead of blow us away with next generation..

That's what i'm worry about more limitations will come. Locking more things. Bring new ways to profit without true value to customers. What a shame..

raWfodog4004d ago

Because Sony is still supporting the PS3 like they did with every past console that they had. There will be many more PS3's out in the world than PS4's this fall. Companies still want to make money this year...

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack993d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood992d ago (Edited 992d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill992d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi992d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer992d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat993d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee993d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack992d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos993d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq1992d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn992d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad992d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer992d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne993d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer992d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma313993d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack992d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313992d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1057d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1057d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

neutralgamer19921057d ago

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1057d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1057d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1057d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1057d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1057d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
