Great points Bleszinski. Having an apple style ecosystem on PS4 would be awesome.
For the whole Knack thing, I'm guessing Sony wanted to tell the audience that PS4 has a broad range of games.
I've always loved platformers so I'm excited to see more of Knack.

JeffGUNZ4509d ago

Wait, don't people on this site rip apart Microsoft and Kinect for showing they have a broad range of games and options for gamers? Is it ok for Sony now?

Virtual_Reality4509d ago (Edited 4509d ago )

Like if Kinect games were any good.

"There is never a better time to launch new Intellectual Property in videogames than at a console transition. Gears and Halo 'got' this."

Except Halo started on Xbox before moving on to the 360.

kevnb4509d ago

halo was a launch title on the original xbox. Although it was microsofts first console, it was still part of a transition into a new console generation.

Rainstorm814509d ago (Edited 4509d ago )

And gears released a year after the 360.....the 360 didn't launch with gears or Halo........it launched with CoD2 ( not a new ip but it got new life) .....which probably explains CoD success this gen

While I agree new IPs are important to console transition.....cliffy would've been better off using examples like Halo and Resistance instead of shoehorning his own game into the conversation

Jek_Porkins4509d ago

Well I can only speak for myself, but we all saw that amazing Gears Of War footage before the Xbox 360 launched. I was going to wait and see with the 360, but bought one at launch for Gears Of War, which came out 6 months later. You do always want that big new IP at a transition, Halo, Gears and hopefully something big from Black Tusk.

Sony does the same thing, launched with Resistance.

DOMination-4508d ago

It makes sense. If you can make a great game at launch, new IP or not, you are guaranteed sales. It may ad well be a new IP though as they are more risky, financially.

alegolo4508d ago

@Jek_Porkins but GeOW came out a whole year after the launch of the X360 not 6 months after.

What a whiner. even his complements are annoying....
"saying it appeared to have more comfortable thumb sticks than its predecessors"
really?, the convex thumsticks were uncomfortable? I never bought the argument that concave thumbsticks fit the thumb better. How about when you aim up or down, your thumb only has the edge of the stick to hold on to. Im happy sony just made a mixture of the two for the ps4 though, so that nobody complains.

JeffGUNZ4509d ago

Take a breather fanboy, he never said they were UNCOMFORTABLE, he just they are MORE comfortable. I loved my 2003 civic, but my new 2013 civic has more comfortable seats. See where I am getting at? I feel like people on this site think everyone is out against Sony. Sheesh.

mp12894509d ago

The only problem with your car analogy is that Blezsinski hasn't actually driven the 2013 civic but has only seen a picture of it and thus concluded that it is more comfortable (and thats his actual complement to the ps4).I see that as a direct attack to convex thumbsticks so you can call me a convex controller fanboy instead to still keep it easy for you to understand. Thanks for telling me to take a breather because oxygen provides 70% of the energy my body uses. Also im quite content with the ps4 concave/convex controller.

JeffGUNZ4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

You're doing the same thing you hypocrite. You are saying he hasn't used the PS4 and made a judgement on it. You haven't used the PS4 either and say you like the PS4 concave/convex controller. It's the same damn this he did yet people get mad (like you) because you think he was bashing the PS3's controller. It's an opinion, everyone is allowed to have it.

Also, how are you 100% sure he hasn't gotten his hands on a dev. kit or played around with the controller?

he's team xbox, no suprise here

I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator16h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

PapaBop7h ago

^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

S2Killinit7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.

Abriael6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.

It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.

If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.

In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.

The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.

VR was the best thing that happened to Ace Combat. You kidding?

yeastori5h ago

VR is perfect for this type of game wdym

Abriael4h ago

It's a perfect way to limit this type of game.

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.

yeastori5h ago

I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
