PS4, Sony Exclusives, Gaikai and More in 2013

Look outside – do things look different? Of course it does! It’s 2013! Last year sucked, but things will certainly be different for gamers and PlayStation this time, right? Daily Reaction’s Seb and Dan rub their balls to see the future, and offer their mystic, absolutely correct, predictions about the next 12 months.

This year is going to be insane! (Hopefully) new consoles, loads of great games... I can't wait!!

[jujubee88]

C'mon, Sony! Make us Playstation enthusiasts proud!

It's not exactly like we had the best of years in 2012. Nevertheless, we are gamers and look forward to some fun this year.

Exclusive games. Exclusive experiences. Exclusively Playstation.

Happy New Year, everyone!

[LOGICWINS]

2012 was great for PS owners if you didn't confine yourself to exclusive games.

[Killzoner99]

If you think 2012 was not a good year for Playstation then I wouldn't call yourself a Playstation enthusiast. It sounds like you wish you were but you are NOT . Sony dominated 2012 just like it will in 2013, 2014 , 2015 etc. and anyone who says otherwise is nothing but a troll.

[EVILDEAD360]

'2012 was great for PS owners if you didn't confine yourself to exclusive games.'

It's a shame that this quote is viewed differently in regards to all consoles, when multi-plats get brought up.

edit @ Kilzoner

The guys said it wasnt the best of years and that was his opinion. LOL @ you jumping down his throat for not claiming mandatory worldwide 'domination if he were to be a Sony enthusiast...LMAO

Evil

[BitbyDeath]

2012 wasn't that great for me either luckily PS+ filled the gap with plenty of free games to play.

[zeeshan]

I absolutely love my PS3 but to be honest, I am getting sick and tired of this. No wait, I AM already sick and tired of current-gen consoles. They are taking forever to launch new consoles and breathe a fresh life in the industry. IMO, consoles should not stick for this long!

[LOGICWINS]

"If you think 2012 was not a good year for Playstation then I wouldn't call yourself a Playstation enthusiast. It sounds like you wish you were but you are NOT ."

Okaaaay

[EddieNX]

I just want the ps4 NOW!!!! Not interested how powerfull it is (although would appreciate it looking good obviously)

But I just want a new console because it's NEW. You know it's gunna be supported for many years in the future and all that. This is the main reason I like my Wiiu. Just because It's new.....

[xursz]

^ i always thought you were LX-General-Kaos posing as a new user but obviously he'd die before posting that. Good on you for supporting new consoles.

[MaxXAttaxX]

Lot's of good stuff on both PS3 and Vita.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Sony will most likely let you play anywhere you want.

CD Projekt red is a partner with then and you can play the wither 2 on gaikai.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Sony needs to make big profits to get out of trouble and I think they will want to expand into something more bigger and universal.

We could play on a calculator or toaster!

OR not.

I just don't think they spent 380M for a demo service. And on top of theat they invest 1/4th of 1.9 billion to further develope gaikai.
http://www.vg247.com/2012/1...

Gaikai was gonna start a full service just before sony bought them anyway.
http://www.joystiq.com/2012...

But anyway Xbox will have only console games and ps4 might have pc games also.

Like alan wake!

[RevXM]

"Sony will most likely let you play anywhere you want."

You know, when putting it this way it kind of makes me see a whole another main area of use for GAKAI technology.

Streaming game content like demos and so forth is cool... but what if its main purpose is to be fully implemented on PS4 and VITA to have seemless communication between them?
Stream your ps4 games to vita anywhere and anytime and access content to any PS certified device. Ps3 and Vita does this already to SOME EXTENT which I really hate because its a major tease because at one point I thought every game would be streamable to VITA day 1 but here we are with like almost no games supporting it...

Imagine having music, pic's and videos on your playstation and stream it to your android or iOS device and the other way around?

[Knight_Crawler]

If Sony really wanted to get out of trouble they would start by putting SOME OF there exclusive games on the PC.

[Ezz2013]

@knight_crawler

lol in your dreams

[GribbleGrunger]

Ezz213: I think you'll find it is more than likely going to happen when Gaikai is fully utilised. Perhaps not the brands new AAA titles, but Uncharted 1, Motorstorm or Resistance would probably be part of the offerings.

[Orionsangel]

This looks to be the best year for gaming in years. Tomb Raider, Gears of War Judgement, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV, The Last of Us and even better if MS and Sony announce their next gen consoles. Big year!

[Conzul]

Yeah March especially is gonna be mad.

[akaakaaka]

Reading the comments in this tells one thing is sure

SONY WE ARE READY FOR NEXT GEN PLAYSTATION "4"
(Just making sure Sony gets the f&%$ message )

PS4 need to be a solid console in term of polished games and lag free online..

[MasterCornholio]

"SONY WE ARE READY FOR NEXT GEN PLAYSTATION "4" "

If releasing it now means releasing something similar to the Wii U i would rather wait because i want something that a lot more powerful than the PS3.

IMO

[showtimefolks]

a lot of games-check
most like new systems--check

insane year in gaming Check and check

i am so excited for early 2013 but i am also jyst as excited for what's to come in fall 2013(which most of it is still unknown)

[TruthBTold]

Lol, "rub their balls", should have been "rub their CRYSTAL balls" so their would be less fun to make of it. Anyways, I hope we at least get to see some next gen console games this year. I am ready if the jump is decent enough.

[insertcoin]

I'm a fan of your rubbing-balls lifestyle.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

lmao!

[Foolsjoker]

Nothing like some ball rubbing to start the year off.

[TrendyGamers]

Bring on 2013!

[doctorstrange]

Meh, wake me at 2014 so I can get all the games on PS+

[Foolsjoker]

Maybe we will see The Last Guardian also...or maybe not. =(

[Killzoner99]

It's people like you who really piss me off. You need to buy these games to support Sony , not wait around for them become free on PS+. You are nothing but a free loader IMHO and frankly I don't think you should be posting here until you realize that. Now GTFO.

[JaredH]

Based on the maturity of your comment I'm guessing you were born in 1999.

[FATAL1TY]

PS4 = Q3 2014

[Foolsjoker]

That will be a bit late, especially since late 2013 is pretty much empty for both Microsoft and Sony. So we will see next-gen by the end of this year, or Jan/Feb of 2014.

[BitbyDeath]

You can wait if you want but i'll be picking it up as soon as it arrives in 2013.

[PS3gamer4life]

Once sony announce we can preorder ps4 ima preorder it

[wishingW3L]

Same here!

I'm gonna pre-order PS4 as soon as humanly possible.

[Killzoner99]

It feels amazing to have all these exclusives that all the other fanboys wished they were getting this year, like every other year ROFL. Sony will continue to dominate everything it touches and it will steam roll M$ and Nintendo into an oblivion. I honestly can't comprehend how pissed all those fanboys are right now, It kind of makes me really happy:)
Long Live Play

[phantomexe]

Why would that make you happy??? Who is the fanboy now. Play great games not the consuls.

[rainslacker]

On behalf of the normal Sony fans, please don't post again. Being a Sony fan myself, your trollish comments offend me, and make you look stupid, with absolutely nothing of value to offer to the community.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

[Ezz2013]

well said

[andibandit]

@rainslacker

I honestly can't see whats so special about Killzoner99 in relation to every other Sony fan on this site. If anything he seems to fit right in with the rest of the sect.

[rainslacker]

@andi

There are extreme fan boys and there are fans. The extreme ones make us all look bad. It's true on every system ever made. Troll is a troll, and a troll by any other name smells as foul.

[Sanquine90]

Sorry, i am a sony fanboy but your comment offend me. I knew a time when the ps3 had almost no games ( because i was there , bought the ps3 on launch). TBH coolname:D I love the killzone franchise ( Does deserve more credit in comparison with gears of war and halo)

[millzy102]

@ killzoner sorry dude I play PlayStation and I love it but Sony won't stream roll anyone into the ground there's room for all 3 and it doesn't dominate everything it touches like the handheld market, PSP didn't catch up to ds and 3ds smashed vita, you diss fanboys but you are one of the worst, multiplatform owners like myself look at your comments and think how immature you are. by the way I have a vita and 3ds so I do my bit for gaming. and as for having ago at someone for using ps plus for free games, have a go at Sony as there the ones putting the games on its not like he's copying them illigally.

[BlaqMagiq24]

You disappoint Sony fanboys everywhere, myself included with your comment. I love Sony but it's not gonna steam roll the other 2. CTFO.

[DigitalRaptor]

I could be considered a fanboy and I don't think Sony will "steam roll M$ and Nintendo into oblivion".

Comprehend that.

[Max-Zorin]

He's making gamers all look stupid.

Smh......... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Shuyin]

+1 bro <3

[MultiConsoleGamer]

No ps4 in 2013.

The Last of Us is GOTY material.

[Riderz1337]

No planned video game releases for 2013 Q3-Q4. If that's not a sign for next gen I don't know what is.

[quantae06]

Sometimes they wait for E3 to announce games for Q3-Q4. Wii U doesn't even have games announced that far. But I wouldn't be shocked to see a PS4 2013 release. I'm hyped up for the PS4.

[Farcryplayer3]

Seems that gta 5 is taking forever to come out

[modesign]

2012 was great if you were a casual gamer, 2013 will be the year for the core gamers.

[Plagasx]

To call Sony's next console anything other than the PlayStation 4 would be pure suicide. Especially from a consumer and marketing standpoint.

Please don't do that Sony...

[BlaqMagiq24]

The thing is though it might happen. "4" in Japan means "death" which is why that number is nowhere to be seen in Japan. Orbis sounds like a cool name to me anyway (if it's called that.)

[DigitalRaptor]

The whole "4" superstition in Japan, as reasoning as to why it won't be called PS4, seems false to me and probably won't apply.

In Japan, PS consoles are marketed and pronounced as the global brand PlayStation (Pureisutēshon), and thus Pureisutēshon Tsū (PS2), Pureisutēshon Surī (PS3), and so I'd assume that it would continue like that for PS4.

[PS4isKing_82]

My prediction. PS4 launch date: Friday November 15th. Price $400-$450. Basic and Deluxe models. One at 320gb and one at 500gb. PS3 receives a $100 price drop down to $149.99 the same day PS4 is announced this summer.

Square-enix reveals that FFvs13 development has indeed been moved to PS4 as a major part of the dev time taking so long for the game, and will be released the following holiday season in 2014. And that ff13 lightning returns will be the last ff game released for ps3.

[solar]

YEAR OF THE PLAYSTATION!! well ive heard that many of times in the last 6 years....and im a Sony fan.

[Ezz2013]

no you are not sony fan looking at your comment history
and in term of games yes
since 2008 it been the year of ps3
2008-2012 and soon to be 2013
ps3 exclusives have been winning HUGE numbers of GOTY awards every year

[ElitaStorm]

what, are u trying to use iam a sony fan as a disagree shield lol i dont think so

[Indo]

Cant wait for an official annoucement for the PS4. It will be the start for next gen consoles as with the 720. But I cant honestly believe the Wii U is considered a next-gen console but thats just me.

[younglj01]

Personal I'm happy with my PS3.I can choose games from any type of genre and they are top notch titles.I think most gamers are forgetting that Sony have alot of old titles that haven't been released on the PS3.I think I deserve Agent and Syphon Filter on my PS3 and I will personally be pissed if this titles are released only when the PS4 is shown.

I'm sorry but after looking at TLoU and Two Souls I think their is alot of hidden power left.I think we will see alot of titles released exclusives too the PS3.Also I deserve TLG on my PS3. Hopefully Sony dont give up on the PS3/Vita combo because I see alot of amazing games if the tech is worked on until atleast late 2015 or early 2016..

I would love 3 or 4 years of nothing but top notch exclusive titles hyping the legacy of the PS brand even bigger.If the PS3 is able too pull this feat off It would then personal be the greatest console of alltime suprassing the one and only PS2..

Happy New Year.....

[Riderz1337]

Sony could possibly have the greatest launch line up ever.

Polyphony (GT 6 Prologue?)
Naughty Dog game
Guerilla Games new IP plus Killzone 4
Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet 3?)
Sucker Punch possible new IP or inFamous 3
Sony Santa Monica (Can make whatever they want it will be awesome)
SCE London/Japan/Cambridge

Plus they got plenty of other studios but these are just the ones off the top of my head. Not to mention all the third party games such as Battlefield 4, NFS game, Assassin's Creed game, CoD game etc.

[remanutd55]

i still dont understand why people keep ignoring Evolution Studios as one of sony's eilte studios.

[nunley33]

I'm looking forward to a PS4 Motorstorm with 1080p 60fps and 1080p 3D. Motorstorm will be used to show off 1080p 3D, just like they did when 3D first came and with it's 3D playstation tv. Lunatics Unite!

[Riderz1337]

Oh I thought they were closed but it was actually Sony Liverpool that shut down recently. I always get the Motorstorm and Wipeout devs mixed up for some reason.

[remanutd55]

Next Gen Lunatics Unite indeed nunley33!!!! Motorstorm as launch title pretty much guaranteed my ps4 purchase on launch day.

[BitbyDeath]

@Riderz1337,

Liverpool and Evolution were said to have merged.
Chances are we may see both Wipeout and Motorstorm as launch titles.

[whoyouwit04]

can someone tell me what the hell the deal is with Gaikai? I haven't been able to us it since sony bought them.

[Adolph Fitler]

I loved 2012 for gaming....then again, I was lucky enough to purchase a PSVita, as well as some of the best games this gen. ending with one of the best fps's ever in FC3.
Also, Gravity Rush, UC:GA, & massive ammounts more great PSVita & PS3 games, some exclusives, some not, but all readily available on my Sony machines.

I also have a Wii-U (bigboy toy for Xmas), & I can safely say that anyone who merely thinks a new console is going to be the bane of all there yearly gaming excitement, will be bitterly dissapointed, as newly launched machines really have very few outstanding games for the 1st 6-12months.....just like it took MGS4 on PS3, Gears on 360, Mario Galaxy on Wii, all games that were nowhere close to launch of there respective hardware alliances.

So, I'm looking forward to games like Injustice: Gods Among Us, The Last Of Us, Aliens: Colonial Marines (hopefully the Wii-U version will prove the machines is more than 7yr old tech), God Of War: Ascention, Dead Space 3, & a minority of others makes up a pretty high quality, varied year for mine.

[illtornworld]

Something tells me the PlayStation Orbis is going to be amazing its just a gut feeling. This year is gonna be amazing too many epic games are being released!

[remanutd55]

I want Motorstorm World Tour as ps4 launch title, thank you.

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

yup.
I want to buy Motorstorm 4, Killzone 4 and PS4 on the first day. I just love Motorstorm.

[remanutd55]

yes either Killzone 4 or Resistance 4 as ps4 launch title!!!!

[quantae06]

I still haven't played a Motorstorm game yet. I might buy one later on.

[remanutd55]

get Pacific Rift or Apocalypse, just to get ready for next gen Motorstorm lol

[BitbyDeath]

Recommend Rift, crashes just don't feel as good in Apocalypse. It is still pretty crazy and worth getting though but for first impressions sake i say Rift.

[memots]

I want more Cross-everything with Vita . Anything that add to the Vita is good in my book. I am disappointed with remote play, its not better than on the psp in fact i think it run's worst on some title.

Cross-Buy is a big deal for me. Make buying the retail version on a ps3 game worth it.

[Mister_G]

PS4... please be secure, no hacking scandals. And no more problems with multiplat games not running so great on the Sony machine.

Oh and faster bluray too, so we don't need mandatory installs.

[DivineAssault]

2013 looks so awesome!

[Pillsbury1]

Last year was awesome for playstation and the future is going to be even better. Long live play.
