The successor to Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been announced, and with it marks the end of the 3rd PlayStation generation, and likely the end of a few titles announced to be in development exclusively for the PS3.
With the PS4 due out this holiday season, Default Prime editor Mike Patuleia decided to take a look back at a few of the announced exclusives that never were and tries to predict their fates for the next generation. Number 1 with a bullet in his mind...
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
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
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.
No game proves how quickly things can change in terms of ethos at a studio quite like Agent.
Rockstar's game outpost has steadily declined since HD console gaming started . Hell, they were releasing new games every year since the PS2 launched, up to the start of the 7th gen.
Agent, Versus 13 and The Last Guardian all have potential to be on PS4 and I hope they all are.
As for Yakuza 5... I am pretty sure it will get a release on the PS3 (alongside Tales of Xillia 2) with a next gen Yakuza being made for PS4 sometime.
What I would like to see is a ps3 to ps4 cross buy program.
Granted, not all games will be made for ps3 and ps4. I have no question the very newest/best games will be made exclusive to ps4/720 with full developer focus on newest engines, etc.
But during the transition many games will be made for both ps3 and ps4. Watch dogs, call of duty, destiny, etc. The largest games made by big publishers will be made for both generations of system due to low install base of the new ones.
So why not put both ps3/4 games on one disc? This minimizes the impact of no backward compatibility for purchasers of at least newest ps3 games and prevents games from getting lost in the generational shift by combining the install base for ps3/4 game sales.
As a consumer it would be great because we could still get ps3 games without feeling like were wasting money on last gen stuff that isn't playable on our new systems we want. And until you get your ps4 we could be building up a library of games which you could experience in ps4 mode once you upgraded. This adds a special incentive for us to buy a ps4 and also to still keep buying ps3 games until we do.
So what do you think of this?
Timeslitters.
Maybe agent was too ambitious for the ps3
I remember Wardevil (not exclusive, but would have been cool if it had been released) looked great, but was cancelled.
