Would A PS4 Announcement Overshadow Future PS3 Games?

So let's say Sony does announce the PlayStation 4 on February 20. But doesn't that mean that a great many upcoming titles will get less attention now...?

No
Me always want The Last Of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, and God of War: Ascension..

Abash4095d ago

Exactly, its not like someone will say "Oh the PS4 is coming soon? Well I'll skip The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension". Especially when they are releasing in the next few months and the PS4 at the very least is all the way at the end of the year

ThatGuy24095d ago

I think all those games you mentioned will be enhanced on the ps4 or something...

wsoutlaw874095d ago

Ya and Sony did the same for god of war 2 and it was fine. I believe it actually came out after ps3s release and only on ps2. What do you want them to stop making games for a year before a new console. people will buy these great looking games.

aCasualGamer4094d ago

Why would it overshadow? (Looks at title)

There is only good things that can come out of this announcement. Think about it. People get hyped, and interested in gaming again. They see the release date, and think to themselves "What am i supposed to do in the meantime?". Well, there is Last of Us, GOW Ascension and Beyond Two Souls. These games will keep gamers occupied until launch.

So no, it won't overshadow. It will have the opposite effect, shed more light on these games.

aceitman4095d ago (Edited 4095d ago )

No, especially if its backwards compatible with an upscalling chip to make the ps3 games look even better. Maybe that will be there Trojan horse. and a price drop on the ps3 and vita will get sony on the road to victory , sony will do this right this time from the beginning to the end .

Donnieboi4095d ago

With 70 Million PS3 owners right now, I don't think the PS4 will have a dent on the new exclusives. My getting a PS4 doesn't undo the fact that I still own my PS3.

Root4095d ago

Well I suppose you could look at it like

"This is what we can do now"

Last of Us, God of War Ascension, Beyond

"Imagine what we could do with brand new tec next gen....games which could look better at what your already seeing now"

A game looking better then The Last of Us or Beyond, even if it's not that big of a jump...it makes you think

MultiConsoleGamer4095d ago

I don't think it would because those games will probably also be available at on the PS4.

And it's not like the PS4 is coming out tomorrow. I really hope it will drop this holiday season, but certain rumors* have me worried that's not going to happen.

(*a chip manufacturing delay from a couple of months ago. for a "next gen console.")

If the PS4 does release this holiday season then I'll be happy and broke. But just in case it slips into 2014, these games will obviously carry the PS3 through the next holiday season.

Sony is in a good position no matter what happens.

BitbyDeath4095d ago

Those games are releasing before the PS4 so I doubt people will stop gaming just cause of an announcement.

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted2d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere2d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook72d ago (Edited 2d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy852d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga2d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher1d 15h ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

Seraphim1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble1d 10h ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike2d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv721d 19h ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

BoneMagnus1d 17h ago

@darth - Nice collection!

crazyCoconuts1d 12h ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire1d 17h ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19922d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga1d 15h ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk2d ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7211d 19h ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty1d 12h ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds1d 23h ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx121d 22h ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
