I wonder if they will show the console

minimur124017d ago

I would piss myself if they changed it to May 22nd

Blacktric4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

In Brazil? No way. They always choose big events OR big cities in NA (or Europe if it's an event) to do these types of big reveals. What significance does Brazil have? Sales aren't that good enough in there to warrant a PS4 world exclusive reveal when they got LA or NY already.

b163o14017d ago

Not to mention the ridiculous prices, they charge for consoles and games in brazil.

Ozmoses4017d ago

I understand where you're coming from.. But, Brazil is pretty big... I mean São Paulo is the biggest city...

It is also one of the few countries still with dual citizenship.

That probably doesn't answer any questions...

But, just because the major city isn't in
America. doesn't really mean anything...

gaming is global and has been for awhile now...

any company that would limit themselves to one country would be stupid...

also it could be something like the Playstation College Tour here in the US... they could just be doing stuff for other countries also.

The console? I wonder if they'll have popozudas on stage.

minimur124017d ago

Is there a source url? i cant find anything on it, I dont want to do a blog with this just as the source. i want something official :/

WillM174017d ago

The Source: outerspace.com.br

minimur124017d ago

isn't that the same website?

how credible are outerspace in brazil?

ulissesnascim4017d ago

Yep, outerspace is very credible in Brazil.

Muerte24944017d ago

that i think would give a lot of gamer longer life spans on consoles is mods. They messed around with it with Unreal Tournament 3. I really want them to incorporate mods back into gaming.

kingPoS4017d ago

I loved pitting characters from Nintendo, SEGA, Sony and Microsoft against each other in Unreal Tournament 3.

Gameplay mods
Weapon mods
Cusom levels

All on my PS3

I think I'll play some UT3 & LBP2 now...

Kennytaur4017d ago

Let's be honest, some mods are great, but most are crap. It would probably help on Bethesda games though... But someone would likely have to control and approve them to avoid any cheating and game-breaking affairs, and no one wants to do that.

Muerte24944017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

thank you for getting what i was saying. Sony introduce bringing PC mods to consoles with Unreal Tournament 3. I know people remember the Spartan Master Chief Skin mod on PS3. It was a feature that xbox360, to my understanding, couldn't match. Whoever thinks giving a game more longevity using mods is a bad thing, is insane IMO. How can getting more bang for your buck be a bad thing?

For those who didn't know

kingPoS4016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

Yeah that UT3 was fun. Bullet time & 3rd person were two of my favorite mods.

All those mods gave the game some long legs. Even last night there were people are still on UT3. I wish devs were more open like this again.

Blasting folks with Samus on UT3 since 2009.

no probably just playstation mobile or keeping in touch with developers.

fr0sty4017d ago

I would imaging they are going to show the console at this or another similar event to prevent MS from being able to make any jokes about them not showing it during their reveal. I feel like Sony isn't going to give Microsoft an inch of room to attack them on this one.

Crazyglues4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

Wow right before MS's big date... talk about stealing the thunder???

Sony is not playing around this time... Can't wait

An event on Brazil? Like... 60k feet up in the stratosphere? Or, perhaps, on the ground IN Brazil?

I want to take a trip on Brazil! When I get there, I'll have some hot peppers in my pizza.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg12h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos11h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola6h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher

With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?

thorstein4d ago

No, and they already solved any need with the overlay that's coming.

Vits4d ago

Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.

Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft

Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC

Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher

The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.

Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.

ocelot073d ago

Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.

It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.

The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n

Nitrowolf23d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers

Tacoboto3d ago

Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"

N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"

When you don't even read the headline...

ocelot073d ago

I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"

So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.

Giblet_Head3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.

Einhander19723d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is just another ridiculous double standard article.

It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

derek3d ago

Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.

just_looken3d ago

Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart

m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony

Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.

Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now

Is Driver (PS1) Still Worth Playing in 2024?

"Driver was a technical achievement for PS1, a pioneer in cinematic gaming, and an often brutal challenge - TechStomper asks if its brand of 70s car chase antics still holds up."

PrimeVinister11d ago

The driving holds up, most of everything else does not.

PrimeVinister11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

@Shane Kim

Well, I mean the driving physics hold up. The draw distance, police AI, visuals in general etc do not

Cacabunga11d ago

One of my all time favorites on PS1. I spent a summer vacation playing this was so good

isarai11d ago

Sadly youd be hard pressed to find any driving game with better physics these days. But the draw distance really kills it for me

PrimeVinister11d ago

The physics hold up ridiculously well. And the draw distance is a real hurdle at first.

__y2jb11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Nonsense. The physics in any modern game or any 360 game is light years beyond Driver.

Dandizzle11d ago

This game is hard, you will fail and quit

PrimeVinister11d ago

But you will get there eventually... maybe

MatrixxGT11d ago

All in the first two minutes.

jznrpg11d ago

Stop with is it worth it articles. If you want to play a game play the damn game!

anast11d ago

I loved this game awhile back.

Barlos11d ago

Yeah but is it worth reading pointless articles?

__y2jb11d ago

It wasn’t worth playing in the 90’s.

Espangerish11d ago

My thoughts exactly. I bought it at release for full price and got frustrated and bored with it very quickly.
