Recently, Sony San Diego revealed the first glimpse of the PS4 version of MLB 14 The Show. A teaser trailer was included that showed off Jayson Werth, Matt Kemp, AT&T Park and The Green Monster in all of its next-gen glory. We decided to compare these screenshots to the current-gen version of MLB 13 The Show and real life images of each baseball player and stadium assets.
While personal preference can undoubtedly play a part, allowing studios like Santa Monica, Insomniac and Sucker Punch to take any given fan’s top spot, the numbers supporting Naughty Dog do anything but lie. They’re the best, and you have to deal with it.
The top 5 are correct but in the wrong order IMO.
1. Naughty Dog (Top-tier dev in the industry for story, technology, acting, graphics, and gameplay)
2. Santa Monica (They're in their Naughty Dog top-tier era)
3. Insomniac (unrivaled AAA / blockbuster quantity and quality)
4. Guerilla (4 & 5 can swap places, both are equals IMO, great studios with new hit IPs)
5. Sucker Punch (4 & 5 can swap places, both are equals IMO, great studios with new hit IPs)
6. BluePoint (best remakes and remasters in the industry, just need to make their own "new game")
7. Polyphony (Hasn't evolved as much as the other 5, but still a good overall dev)
8. Sony Bend (they need a few more AAA games under their belt to rival GG / SP)
9. Hosmarque (indie dev turned AA, on the path to becoming AAA)
10. Media Molecule / San Diego Studio / Team Asobi (I wouldn't put any of these 3 above the other. MM has pushed creativity for a PS game to the limits with LBP and Dreams. San Diego mainly does MLB, but also has some good ports under their belt. Team Asobi and AStro are hits)
It’s all change at MLB The Show developer Sony San Diego, which seems to be the latest team under the PlayStation first-party umbrella to be leveling up. The studio – which also houses the Product Development Services Group and, purportedly, an entirely new unit rumoured to be working on an original Uncharted title in collaboration with Naughty Dog – has fresh digs and a revised logo.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
if it was as super nice on ps3, ps4 MLB 14 will be unbelievable
Looks really good. Can't wait to see more in the coming months.
I'll pick this up , 1000 polygons ! Good lawd!! Dat Mullet!
This is when we are really going to see what the PS4 is capable of. With it's exclusives. The difference between the PS3 and PS4 player models are staggering.
Hopefully they can keep up the attention to detail on the whole cast but sadly I don't think that'll happen and this is where we kinda hit the wall. :/
