PlayStation Has News That “Gamers Will Be Excited About” At GDC 2014

iGR: "GDC 2014 is fast approaching. From March 17-21st, the Moscone Center will play host to thousands of industry professionals, aspiring developers, and press alike. It’s one of the largest gaming-related gatherings in the United States. I had a chance to ask PlayStation developer relations manager, Brian Silva what himself and Adam Boyes’ team had in store for the conference."

Announcement of an announcement...

These companies might as well start saying "we are going to release games for our system this year. BE EXCITED!"

[EBTpickle]

I honestly think they're contemplating what they can announce between now and E3 and still blow everyone away in June. I believe Microsoft is in the same boat.

[xHeavYx]

Nothing wrong with creating some hype. I just wish I didn't have to wait almost 2 months to know what they are talking about

[UltimateMaster]

Yeah, wasn't it the same with the new Gears of War.
The franchise ended, there's nothing more to make of it. Without Epic Games, it's not a Gears of War. But Die-Hard Franchise lover will pay up the cash anyway.

When it's made by another studio, it's either a good/decent replica without anything new or a complete disaster in the making.

over the last few years sony has announced most of their stuff before E# but still kept few surprises. I believe they will do the same with PS4 and here is why

why only dominate E3 when you can have all the news to yourself weeks before E3 when you have no competition so all the games announced get full attention from media and gamers

than come E3 show more of what you announced and maybe show couple of more surprises

sony knows how to do E3 better than most imo

[Blastoise]

Spoiler alert: Sony will show some games at E3

:P

[thekhurg]

Dude WTF, I try to avoid spoilers.

[MightyNoX]

Oh hush, you know you love it! :P

[thehitman]

Its called building hype lol. You want people to tune in and focus on your product. Nothing abnormal about that.

[-Foxtrot]

True but I mean GDC isn't untill March

They could of said this a few weeks away from it like near the end of Feb...least then we wouldn't be waiting as long

[thehitman]

March is only a little more than a month away. GDC is a huge event marketing and build up starts usually for these events 1-2 months before it.

[Games_R_Us]

Its how PR works today, get people excited for the announcement and its a good way to get people to plan to tune in to it when it happens. For me, its annoying as it starts massive debates now over what it is, builds up hype and false expectation and when the event happens, if it doesn't live up to that user generated hype, people are dissapointed.

I wonder if people just tuned in and we didn't have all this pre talk, would we find the events better and more satisfying?

Food for thought. Agree? If so, bubble me up, I need it! :)

[alejandroelputo]

This are one of the news I like the most, when there is really no news. Just a news that there will be a news, it is just so tempting and awesome that it feels good.

[Lukejrl]

It is actually a problem with the way people receive their news today. It is Instant. So in many circles, not just gaming, any little tidbit of information is now news. Any announcement is worth reporting to fill the void that people expect to be filled while still creating hype.

[hellzsupernova]

"Please be excited for E3"
Square enix

[Dark_Anakin]

Well they won't say it will suck of course... :-/

[Lionalliance]

There's been a lot of Sony related news today.

[EBTpickle]

Microsoft pretty much had yesterday locked down with the Gears of War purchase, but there's two sides to every schwartz

[curtis92]

hey at least it's gaming related. #NFL

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Sony you spoil use too much.

[MRMagoo123]

I dont know what the disagrees where for , but its could be 3 things that come to my mind,

1: you typed use instead of us and we know how the N4G community really put their foot down on bad spelling, grammar and sentence structure.

2: They think you are being sarcastic because you really cant tell now days on the internet.

3: They love being spoiled by Sony and want to be spoiled more so they have to disagree that Sony spoil us too much.

Number 3 is the only one i could really think could be true tho but who knows.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Yes I meant US. I don't know why I typed USE. Sony been giving us a lot of great things and that's why I say spoil but meant it in a good way. Keep up the good work Sony.

[Eonjay]

Could be anything.

[iSpeakTruth__]

Please be some Order 1886 gameplay and AAA first party announcements

[mo241]

that would be awesomeble.
(French for awesome.) true story

[Jaqen_Hghar]

MOAR INDIES!

[OmegaShen]

Check the fanboy come on there, he crys about all PS4 games look bad an not as good as Xbox One's. He even says no one plays KZ SF's online (I play it online with all my friends, an I haven't had trouble finding a full game).

I'm betting it will have to with PlayStation Now, update for PS4 to upload to YouTube, maybe support for mp3 music files, new games and just maybe..... PS Vita TV.

[mo241]

No I hope they show something new those things should be done with yoshidas well known tweets.

[pyramidshead]

Interesting. Hope it's live streamed.

[ABizzel1]

GDC usually isn't, because most of the stuff is behind doors, and more of a game developers event, then a media event.

IGN, and some of the other sites will be there, simply because they're based in San Francisco, but overall GDC announcements are usually revealed through articles.

[REDBEARD]

A new Crash Bandicoot developed by Naughty Dog. Sony buying the Crash and Spyro ip from Activision.

Sadly its never going to happen :(

DAAAAAMMMMNN YOOUUUU ACTVISIOOOON!!!!!!!!!

[king_george]

Spyro no way cuz activision is making bank off of him but crash.... now theres a possibility ;)

There have actually been a lot of rumours going around that crash is coming back home to playstation :) i hope they are true

[TheFutureIsBlue]

Hey...any news related to the PS4 I will gobble up. Lay it down Sony! http://gifrific.com/matheso...

[captainexplosion]

Sony needs some exclusive 3rd party games. They have nothing in that regard at all and are even behind WiiU. Luckily, they have the best 1st party studios.

[frostypants]

Why do they "need" exclusive 3rd party games? Paid exclusivity is stupid.

[captainexplosion]

How is it stupid to have exclusive 3rd party games? Its stupid not to. I think it helped the 360 out when Microsoft bought 4 Gears of War games, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. If Microsoft didnt buy Titanfall, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare, Gears of War, and Dead Rising 3 the XB1 would be irrelevant.

[sherimae2413]

uhmmm how about deep down?

and you o realize that most jp develop 3rd party games are exclusive to playstation?

-disgaea series
-yakuza ishin
-the tales series (mostly and recently releases and the upcoming too)
- games from nihon falcom
- games from gust/tecmo koei
- drakengard series
and so on and on

[Majin-vegeta]

Isn't this where Yu Suzuki and Cerny will be talking about Shenmue??I reckon either Shenmue 1&2 HD or Shenmue 3.Will be announced.

[DigitalRaptor]

Yes indeed.

The pieces are all there, they just need to be put together. This is the time for these parties to come together and make the game all Shenmue fans have been waiting over 10 years for. #SaveShenmue

[RytGear]

I hope that from now until E3 we only hear about the games that have already been announced but then we get the tidal onslaught at E3 of game after game being announced.
The PS4 is selling well enough that it doesn't need to announce any more new games for now, as long as they are coming.

[pwnsause_returns]

shenmue 3?

[maniacmayhem]

GDC isn't known for big game reveals so it might have to do with PS Now or maybe the Vita Mini coming to NA.

[Skattman]

Hoping for some ps4 Wonderbook, PS4 Move or Playstation 4 Home announcement.

[hellzsupernova]

Woooooo me too :D

[e3kehoe]

I hate these. "Hey we are announcing a game that you won't be able to play for another 2 years. Well if ever.." looking at you guardian.. sweet ..rolls eyes..

[ziggurcat]

i've become quite skeptical of these "announcements gamers will be excited about."

the last straw for me was kojima's "earth-shattering" exclusive PS4 MGS announcement that ended up just being a PS2 retro skin for snake.

[GreatnessAwaits]

Well all I have to say guys is don't get too excited. GDC is never anything special. I repeat don't get too excited. You have been warned.

[NeloAnjelo]

Sony has remained in the news since Feb 2013. Good job with all this momentum.
