for sanity's sake we have to assume that some of those new experiences are games we've seen recently announced.

No matter how good Sony does at any E3, I will always remember E3 2006.

Man them fanboys are really coming out of the woodwork.

BlindGuardian4367d ago

I'm pretty sure it won't be 20 new AAA exclusives anounced, those 20 experiences probably are:

-4 or 5 new exclusives for the PS3
-4 or 5 new exclusives for the PSV
-gameplay and release for The Last of US
-hands on and release date for The Last Guardian
-maybe info/footage of Agent and FFV13
-full reveals wth gameplay for LBP karting, GOW ascencion, Battle Royale (let's call it that)
-a couple of PSN game like Journey

Rainstorm814367d ago

@ Blind guardian

yea i think you are exactly right, sony has multiple platforms to cover so 20 seems reasonable

pixelsword4367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

20 New games just announced, one month away from a possible price drop and my 60Gb PS3 breaks...

I want to see something on this, very, very much.

DeadlyFire4366d ago (Edited 4366d ago )

If this were all on one platform I would say PS4 launch titles. As the platform itself would give every game a new experience. That or some type of new Move/Kinect like device for gamers.

Out of this 20 though even for PSVita/PS3 that seems rather high count. Unless a few PS4 titles are in the mix. I remember when PS3 was announced we saw like 8+ new game CGI trailers. Just saying. Some were just vapor, but others have made outstanding success. I can't wait for KILLZONE 4 PS4 CGI trailer. :P

Akuma-4367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

While Sony talks about games and more games, others talk about sales and how their competition isnt good enough when Sony is clearly supplying its core fans mostly with software while also catering to casuals and others.

I laugh when I hear or see people try to disrespect Sony when they are obviously the best game company in the world. They don't rely on a handful of ip's like Nintendo, they actually keep making new games and continue story-lines of others. Think of a genre of gaming and Sony has an exclusive title that fits it.

When Nintendo fans think about a new Nintendo system, they are thinking of playing the same handful of ips that Nintendo has been making for years and that is ok. When xbox fans think of a new xbox its the same , thinking of a handful of games. When majority of Sony fans think of a new Sony gaming system, they think of a lot of new ips and sequels to many Sony ips and not just a handful.

Blastoise4367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

Amen. Sony are not afraid to take risks either, they always support different innovative games (Heavy rain, Little Big planet, Journey). People always say Nintendo are the innovators, but it looks to me that its mainly Sony thats pushing new ideas forward.

vvv
LBP is original, what other racing game can you create your own track, kart, and character other than modnation racers (Another PS3 exclusive).
Move & All stars - I'll give you them
And as for Trails games & trophies now you're just running out of things to come up with arnt you?
You've completed ignored my point and just pointed out the two things that Sony has copied
in the last 6 years, without pointing out any of the dozons of brilliant original games that have come from them.

jthamind4367d ago

^^^yeah, new ideas like Move, LBP Karting, the All-stars brawler, trophies, the Trials game....

oh, wait.

lol. well, so much for originality.

mobhit4367d ago

All of which existed before so... what's your point? There's nothing wrong with using concepts as long as you revolutionize it.

Cyb3r4366d ago

@ jthamind how long has it been since Microsoft announced a new IP????

Xenial4366d ago

Well said. And that is so true.

humbleopinion4366d ago (Edited 4366d ago )

Sorry to burst your bubble Akuma, but Microsoft pretty much abandoned most of their franchises from last gen with the exception of just a select few (Halo, PGR, Fable, Forza - the last two actually appearing only near the end of the console generation).

Just a reminder about some of the new IPs Microsoft published this generation:
- Gears of War
- Mass Effect
- Kameo
- Viva Pinata
- Blue Dragon
- Lost Oddysey
- Too Human
- Alan Wake
- Shadowrun
- Ninja Blade
- Crackdown
This is over 10 new IPs for this generation just from the top of my head, and I'm excluding some older franchises that didn't even make an appearance last gen so Xbox owners probably weren't expecting them (Banjo, Perfect Dark), excluding Kinect games and some causal crap, and excluding Arcade games because if we include new IPs on XBLA there isn't even a competition.

True, some of these games weren't very good, but others became some of the most critically acclaimed series this gen. It's a risky business after all and no publisher manages to nail all of their games.
I assume your ignorance comes from owning just a single console both this gen and last gen. Otherwise you would have probably been more familiar with what games were available on other platforms last gen and what games are available now.

I assume that next gen will be the same: a few select franchises will carry over while the rest will be abandoned, and new experiences will be introduced. But until we hear about them announced, we can only expect the things we are familiar with. This is regardless of which console you own. It's probably just like owners of the PS2 were expecting to see on the PS3 new iterations of games like God of War, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Killzone etc. - that's just how things work.

ShinMaster4366d ago (Edited 4366d ago )

It's not just about new IPs.

humbleopinion4366d ago

#ShinMaster
His comment about MS VS Sony WAS just about new IPs:
"When xbox fans think of a new xbox its the same , thinking of a handful of games"
VS
"When majority of Sony fans think of a new Sony gaming system, they think of a lot of new ips and sequels to many Sony ips"

And this is obviously not true, and the IPs I listed just prove this point. Besides, I'd like to hear any fan saying that they're only looking forward for the same handful number of games assuming they know about other games.

I am going to assume that whatever number is new games, will definitely be in favour of the PSV.

Man so many new PS3 reveals lately... but I really want to see gameplay demonstration of the Last Guardian and Last of Us.

mafiahajeri4367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

Some VITA games would be great!! New IPs too please!

Kennytaur4366d ago

Why would anybody not wnat more games for the Vita, and no new IP's? This can only be good, the PSV and 3DS need to prove that handheld gaming isn't dead by a long shot.

N4G is riddled with stupid immature kids. These must have run out of bubbles since they dare not explain their actions in a comment.

Lol people read too much into things like this. Yeah there will probably be over 20 new games shown but I bet most will be Vita games, some will be move games and some will be PS3 games and the PS3 games will consist of games already announced like LBP Kart, Sony Smash Bros, GOW:A and probably 1 or 2 other surprise announcements.

"Triple shot of excitement." I'm guessing more PS3 & Vita games, then PlayStation Suite news as the chaser. As for PS Move, I've pretty much given up hope at this point.

The Amazing Spiderman and Bioshock Infinite are confirmed to have Move support. Infamous 3 and RE6 are likely to follow suit.

I expect the Last of Us to have it. It seems tailor made for Move(using Move to shoot a gun or swing a pipe).

Don't know what the hell ND's problem is. They keep making excuses for not putting Move in the game by saying they don't want to "tack it on". Well...why not just do it right for the fans who want the option to use a great piece of hardware?

Infamous 2/Socom proved that Move works well with TPS games. As I said, don't know what the hell ND's issue with Move is.

^^Check out 1:47, look how agitated they get when they're asked to justify why they can't implement Move into their games.

@LOGICWINS
I'm not the only one that looks at Evan Wells and thinks of a gopher or a rat, am I?

@MistaDonzie
What do you mean "already"? If it were announced this year and came out next year, you'd notice a development pattern that occurs for many other games. There were two years between Gears 1 and Gears 2, two years between GoW 1 and 2, 2 years between each Uncharted game, two years between F3 and FNV, two years between Rainbow Six Vegas and RSV2, two years between inFAMOUS 1 and inFAMOUS 2...

So, uh, this isn't abnormal or anything.

LOGICWINS4366d ago

"I'm not the only one that looks at Evan Wells and thinks of a gopher or a rat, am I?"

lol, nah your not the only one. Hopefully, Infamous 3 gets announced for the PS3, not the PS4. I think the PS3 has a lot more untapped power left in it.

Agent, the only game i wanna see.

I'm getting all the other exclusive's Sony has announced, but i'm desperately waiting to hear more about Agent. It's Been Too Damn Long.

pixelsword4367d ago

If it is I'm not getting it on either console. They will likely clip the PS3 version and stuff the 360 version onto two discs, just like FF.

-Mezzo-4366d ago

Doesn't matter, i just want to see the game.

Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.

just_looken14d ago

The new temp boss is the sony cfo bean counter so i can see this being a thing get every penny.

Cacabunga14d ago

PlayStation officially losing it.. fans will never support gaas games

just_looken14d ago

@car

The new boss did a interview in japan he wants to tap into the mobile market like nintendio so he give 0 fucks about gamers/fans

Redemption-6414d ago

@Cacabunga
You only speak for you and those who think like you, but most fans will support what they want. Playstation and PC fans are literally supporting Helldivers 2 and that is a gaas. Maybe you wouldn't, but many more would if they like it.

Huey_My_D_Long14d ago

@Redemption-64
Look, Im not making any judgement calls about this guy, but I will say that Helldivers 2 GaaS model is unique to Helldivers, and legit the only other game I can think of thats similiar was the Avengers game except HD2 pass is still better.
The fact that you can earn in game currency in a way that doesnt make you feel like you have to grind forever, as well you being able work on that pass that you bought...on your own time without a time limit...that right there is fucking huge to me, and I can't name any game other than avengers that avoided trapping players with FOMO logic...I think GaaS on HD2 shouldn't be compared to the rest of the industry...it should be copied.

Helldivers 2...

Redemption-64

In Europe it's a 60 40 split favoring PC.
In the US its a 60 40 split favoring PS5.

So PlayStation owners supported the game just fine, it's not getting carried by PC or anything like that.

FinalFantasyFanatic14d ago

@just_looken,
I'm perfectly fine with the way Nintendo entered the mobile market, I never touched their mobile games, meanwhile, the console/handheld stayed the way it is. As for being a bean counter, he's probably going to reel in these massive budgets that Sony's studios have had lately, I haven't played Spiderman 2, but I cannot see how they almost tripled the budget for that game.

@Redemption-64,
That's an exception to the rule, I'm expecting a lot of these GAAS games from Sony to fail, to be fair, they only need a few to succeed, but I would have preferred that they put more of their resources into other types of games.

True their monetization is driving players away and at the same time, their decision to chop out content and convoluted systems is keeping new players away from the game.

Joe91314d ago

I don't think that will happen based on how things worked out at Naughty Dog now that we know what we do, seems they had the option to fully commit to live service games or stay making single player experences so they gave up on their live service game. We are not sure how things came about with Bend making a live service game but I hope that was not a forced situation. Sony doesnt seem like they are forcing studios to switch up but we will see, Sony's bread and butter is single player games it is how they dominated the console market.

Obscure_Observer14d ago

Yeah, I though Sony learned something from all their failures in the LS segment under Bungie´s disastrous leadership and supervision which led to games been cancelled, studios closed and all the people laid off.

Looks like Bungie still plays a major role in Sony´s LS initiative and Sony is not backtracking on their GaaS plans.

S2Killinit14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Are we forgetting that Destiny is also a highly successful franchise? I feel like that definitely deserves mention here.

Besides, there is no reason why a person cant learn from past experiences.

Joe91313d ago

I agree, people act as if Destiny flopped when it came out lol it took 9 to 10 years for the numbers to fall yet people are still playing it add the success of Helldivers 2 no wonder Sony is going forward down this path.

S2Killinit13d ago

Personally, I see no problem with Sony also having service games as long as they make good ones, and more importantly they deliver the AAA story driven games that they are known for. So yeah, I agree 100% with you.

Christopher14d ago

I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.

CrimsonWing6913d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Honestly, what’s to learn from? How to make people happily continuously dump money into a single game over its life-time? Buy season passes continuously for several years with a smile on our faces?

GaaS is a design decision that is everything wrong with this industry. The fact that Helldivers 2 did so well and people defend the monetization because it was $40 and is a fun game, scares the sh*t out of me to see that the door is open and all shift will probably be to replicate that in future games. We already know the ROI for traditional game dev cost isn’t doing it for them.

I thought with Jimbo leaving we’d see a change for the better… I’m not so sure now.

S2Killinit13d ago

Service games are being offered by everyone. Sony cannot afford to only create single player AAA games. No one can. They already said they will be doing both.

Abnor_Mal14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.

Christopher14d ago

They play long-time existing live service games like CoD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and the like. Mass majority of new live service games are considered failures and aren't moving gamers away from older games.

just_looken14d ago

Yep the huge issue with live service is they need paid players along with a reason to play them.

You forgot mobile market that also taps into that player base as well as the eve online style games there is only a certain amount of krakens/whales blind supporters compared to the amount of live service games we have its not sustainable math wise.

700 restaurants making food for every seat for 1000-3000 eaters just does not work out

Einhander197214d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Christopher

I am not a big live service fan and literally own zero of the games you listed, but that is not true, unless you call games that aren't the top games to be failures.

There are tons of live service games that are profitable.

Games don't have to be the biggest game ever they just need to make more than they cost.

I challenge you to show professionally prepared data that shows that more live service games fail than make enough to keep going.

Because all the data that I have seen shows that live service is less of a gamble than making a big AAA budget game which needs to survive off retail sales.

FinalFantasyFanatic14d ago

I sometimes wonder if we're at saturation point, where it's hard for a new game to join those ranks unless it's particularly exceptional, people only have so much time and money to devote to these types of games.

romulus2314d ago

Correction, they have no issue playing good live service games

shinoff218314d ago

Lol it's not even a quarter of the ps5s sold. Helldivers may have been a hit but let's not say most are enjoying it because truth is most(the real most ) don't care about it.

S2Killinit13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I play what is fun. If a live service game is good I’ll play it as long as its not a money scheme which Helldivers is not.

And Im a single player gamer.

mastershredder14d ago

How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.

Sony May Soon Let You Decide How Much NPCs Talk In Games

Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.

blackblades20d ago

Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.

just_looken20d ago

Sony in the past has always been first at bat with new ideas/tech but in the end never fully use it or just toss it away.

blackblades20d ago

I think they did use some but yeah most usually never happened but at least they thought about it. Sony seeks things like this and other, Nintendo seek different ways of playing going by there different controler designs and console designs.

Crazy to think the savings from this lawsuit allows them to develop one AAA game.

Make it Bloodborne 2, please and thank you.

Profchaos22d ago

Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.

Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both

Pyrofire9522d ago

Patents suck. Most of them are complete garbage.

Knightofelemia22d ago

So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
