How I really loved Karma :)

Edit :

The poster said.

"@MaximeDelf @Kawootz En fait la borne est même pas présentée comme une borne PS4. Y'a juste une manette branchée dessus."

"Actually the terminal its not even presented as a Ps4 one. Its just has the controller plugged there."

Maybe its the EA terminal ?

The Order 1886 was running on PC at Gamescom. This really shouldn't be surprising to anyone at this point.

I'll just leave this here:

I think it was just for specific game developers that couldn't have the PS4 devkits over. A similar thing probably happened at E3 with the Xbox One as well. You guys can have at it, should be interesting seeing both sides spin this one.

Thanks M-M! Article updated

Muerte24944313d ago

not Sony but EA. That's a Need for Speed kiosk

This particular image does indeed look very suspect.

NFS could have very well been running on PC, but this image does a poor job as evidence for it imo.

iamnsuperman4313d ago (Edited 4313d ago )

You are right it is probably an EA booth
Access tour of the Sony booth here: http://www.youtube.com/watc... . Nothing like that in the video. It is worrying for these developers that this game is launching in November and they are not running it on the PS4

pedrof934313d ago

That it not the PS booth.

@golding89

Correcting someone isn't the same thing as denial lol.

If its not even presented as a ps4 kiosk then what's the commotion here? EA doing their thing....but with ps4 controllers.

Stupid Xbots jumping to conclusions.

"How I really loved Karma :)"

I'm not sure this is exactly karma.

Wasn't the MS E3 story big because they were supposedly using more powerful PCs than they should have been to simulate the One's capabilities?

sigfredod4313d ago

Wrong title is not a Sony booth is a EA booth

WorldGamer4313d ago

Noooooooooooooo!!, oh wait, okay. Lol.
I guess since MS did it at E3 and people made a big deal, it's only fair to make a big deal about it now that Sony did it.

Nice tit for tat, very appropriate given the contentious environment in the gaming industry right now.

Let the games begin, lol.

RytGear4313d ago

I read this and could not find a source... seems more than dodgy to me.

iamnsuperman4313d ago (Edited 4313d ago )

The author says it was taken down. But why take down the image? Which account did it come from? What was the name. Information a normal journalist would write (especially if the image was taken down)

edit: thank you for updating the article

CaptainCamper4313d ago

You're most welcome. We found the source thanks to posts on these comments. N4G community isn't all bad :D

darkequitus4313d ago

No big deal. There are obviously dev reasons as MS had with some of their games.

Not sure what the article is talking about faith in Windows 8. Love or hate Windows 8, a dev would use the most mature OS for a development/user environment.

CaptainCamper4313d ago

We received the image via an email from a community member. I've just replied to see if they can give us the handle of the original poster.

The Problem with Hype

"Think of the last E3, or the last Gamescom, or the last Tokyo Game Show. What was the main thing shown at the press conferences held there? The trailers, gameplay videos, and everything else shown are done so to get you excited about a certain game that they want you to be more interested in. If the trailer is well-done and people like it, the hype of the game goes up and people talk about it more and more. But what happens next? More trailers and details for the game are released, just hyping you up more until the game comes out. But sometimes, when the game comes out, it’s not everything you expected. It’s not as fantastic as you had hoped. It’s not all that it’s hyped up to be. "
