The word is officially on the street: The PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox will be hitting the streets in time for Christmas, up against each other in a rare console showdown. Microsoft has a countdown to E3, and Sony might be revealing PS4 information officially as soon as next month.
And really, big deal. Both of these consoles are by all accounts pretty much the same thing when it comes to actually playing games. What matters are the games themselves, and Sony hasn’t kept what franchises will be coming to the PS4 much of a secret.
Why? Because of their collections.
Guerrilla Games will most definitely launch a title on PS4 launch.
Sucker Punch could be making a new Ip or secretly developing Infamous 3. But I do think they'll make launch with AAA caliber title nonetheless.
Even though Ninja Theory gets a lot of hate from the hard core DMC fans I'd like to see a new Heavenly Sword as a PS4 launch title too since the original was a launch title and it was a 'goodun.
I do think well see heavenly sword 2 at some point on ps4
Its pretty crazy to think about all the studios they have in their stable who have been obviously working on PS4 games for the last few years. That launch window is gonna be pretty special.
IF they are Killzone 4 and inFamous 3 then it would be wise to give the HD Collections for free on PS+ / Gaikai so that people have the entire series Day 1 as well as making it an impulse buy for all consumers interested in the PS4.
Infamous 3 isn't happening atleast not right now, i would be shocked if SP come on stage to show Infamous 3. I think they are also doing a new IP
i think going forward sony's main studios will do 2-3 games in a series than move on and sony will find a 2nd party partner to continue the franchises
that way sony gets its established game franchises and game studios get to work on newer stuff
Killzone 4
Gt6
should be ready to launch with PS4. I think sony will surprise us all by showing The Last Guardian and releasing it day one with PS4. Sony sent some of its top development talent to help finish the Last Guardian.
show some new IPs at E3
release trailer for Uncharted 4
new Ratchet game done by Insomniac
I hope to see Uncharted 4, Killzone 3 and a new IP from media molecule.
Then after that work in KILLZONE and after that continue with the new IP and switch torn and I will be a happy fan!
Like INf. but Sucker P. needs a new ip that will bring new ways to play a open world it needs to be similar to INf. but more over the top action with a new more of a adventure plot.
and leave INf. continue on the vita.
Those games usually come a year later.
Although I do expect a great launch this time from Sony, I doubt well see anything too big.
Most console makers save their big guns for the following year after launch.
My thought is ps4's launch will include the yearly sports game ports of madden, FIFA and NHL 2014, a couple of sub par racing games, a couple of decent first party games showing the capabilities of the console and 1 or 2 obligatory fps from activision and ea.
Then in the spring the big guns will start rolling out.
I might be wrong but realistically, that's how I see it going based on previous hardware launches.
But whatever games launch with jt, I'm buying it day one regardless.
