What IGN Saw at the Playstation Event in Santa Monica

Colin and Vince give us a quick glimpse of what they saw at the Playstation Event in Santa Monica.

[KILLERAPP]

Can't wait for the info on the others PS4 games shown.

[Eonjay]

Same here. He said "a lot" of the PS4 games are embargoed. I am conflicted about whether I can hold out till E3.

[KILLERAPP]

Sadly they won't drop the megatons until E3. There have not been a single leak about the event in Europe and the event in the US. There also haven't been a single leak of the games that all the studios are making. The Sony ninjas are making sure to save all the surprises for E3. Don't worry the wait will be worth it...

[guitarded77]

Anyone know if there are any unannounced games they showed them that are under embargo? Or is it just new inFAMOUS, The Order, etc information.

I could sure use a God of War announcement... or anything announcement this week. They genuinely seemed hyped when they talked about the embargoed games they can't talk about.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Sounds pretty cool

[XabiDaChosenOne]

$199 vita with boderlands?.....
Other Me: You already have a Vita don't even think about it!!
Me: Shut up! I know!!

[JoGam]

Awesome

[ThatArtGuy]

Just buy the game by itself. LOL

[TheGrimReaper0011]

€40 for borderlands 2 on vita?
Other me: You already have Borderlands 2 on PC AND the loot chest edition on PS3!
Me: But then I can play it on the go!

[Fishermenofwar]

I always have Gollum moments when it comes to bundles....

[jacksjus]

8 Bit games on a $400 system is not appealing. Jus saying!

[SasukeX16]

That's your opinion just saying!

[PeaSFor]

for all i care a game could be in monochrome and would enjoy it if its good, dem graphic style polices can go play in the traffic. Just saying!

[DunDee910]

Polices? Really?

[Minute Man 721]

So is 6 vs 6 with bots on a $500 system. Not appealing

[solid_snake3656]

Oh shots fired shots fired

[BOLO]

Add running a decade old graphics engine at 792p...

[hellzsupernova]

you never grew up with them did you? some of the greatest games ever created were 8bit. towerfall looks like a lot of fun. stop hating start playing

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Hot Line Miami, was a great game,.. and cheap. then free. It is a must play.

I bought it, for like $7.50, during a ps+ sale... Cheap compared to an nes or sega cartridge, that would cost $40-$50.

[Prime157]

They don't get these indie games. I remember when I bought fat princess for cheap as Hell... got almost 100 hours from a cheap game.

[imtheman2013]

Hotline Miami 2... *mouth starts to water*

[Akuma07]

I don't think anyone is saying you should buy a PS4 solely for Hotline Miami......

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

@jacksjus I'm not really a fan of indies unless they're really good like Resogun and Journey, but get used to it. I think we will start to see more indie games than Triple A games for now on.

[PickAShoe]

Which is fine because games should focus on fun anyway.

[NeloAnjelo]

@jacksjus so is 720p for a $500 system.

The key here is choice. The best of both worlds... 8 bit and 1080p

[TwistedMetal]

Thats why you get a vita so you can play 8 bit games on either ps4 or on the go wit the vita or both for the best of bot worlds.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Couldn't agree more. If you got all that power. Use it. Nostalgia can only hold my interest so long.

[LaChance]

Where are the big games ... deep down we all know aint nobody lookng out for 8 bit and flappy bird like games on a 400$ system.

[DigitalRaptor]

Did you not hear Colin when he said that the PS4 games they showed were embargoed and that they would get to them in a short "order"?

Of course not. You're thinking of one thing and one thing only. Comparing well made games with depth to flappy bird is a rhetorical insult in itself, and pretending Mercenary Kings and Towerfall Ascension are the only things coming to PS4 is moronic, but who would've expected any less from LaChance?

[Automatic79]

Don't lose your cool not everyone is into Indies. Some prefer top triple AAA titles.

[morganfell]

You have a little to learn Michael. LaChance doesn't have an issue with indies, just Sony.

Someone is smarting bad...

[PeaSFor]

go wonder why he only have only bubble.

btw i enjoyed Nidhogg on my 2700$ pc.....just sayin.

a game can have a "8bit" style it doesnt matter, a good game is a good game no matter what whinners will spin.

[Ricegum]

Why is LaChance in a Sony related article? Has the boy no life?

[grassyknoll]

If you don't want independent games, don't buy them. I'd rather play Resogun & Outlast than COD or 2K Sports myself. Games like No Man's Sky & Rime have more ambition than most of EA's line up for this year.

[AceofStaves]

Exactly. It's not as if these are the only titles coming for PS4 this year. The smaller indie games add to the diversity of the line-up. Not every title is a AAA big-budget blockbuster. I'd rather a steady flow of smaller games between big tentpole releases I'm interested in than having to enduring gaming droughts where I have nothing to play for months because I don't play sports or FPS games.

[jacksjus]

Mercenary Warriors and them other BS games aren't Resogun & Outlast. No one is arguing independent games, but c'mon was Don't Starve really worth being the first free to play game since launch? I know some like it, but for the majority it was disappointing. Don't Starve looks like a free iPad game.

[BitbyDeath]

1. Don't Starve isn't free to play, nor was it the first Ps+ game.

2. I get it you don't like the survival adventure genre, doesn't mean millions of others don't. World does not revolve around you.

3. Lol at ipad talk, no phone games are that detailed, you clearly have not played it.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Don't Starve is a great game with lots of depth (literally) and is a hell of a lot of fun to play. I can respect the fact that it might not be your particular brand of cognac, but I'm having fun with it and so are the majority of PS4 owners that I know personally.

[iiorestesii]

Your like a little kid crying at Christmas.

[supraking951]

ugh embargo

[TwilightSparkle]

That's it im studying japanese so I can play some real games >:(

[kingdom18]

I'm taking a homeschool course, and I keep forgetting to study Hiragana! So in terms of advancement, I'm still on the cover.

[TwilightSparkle]

Well I can follow the tales series in japanese cause their all pretty basic. But the other games not so much

[kingdom18]

@rikukey Well that's nice to hear. I'll have to have a go at the PS3 version of Vesperia once I'm finished Genki 1

[Rickgrimes95]

Pretty sure there allowed to talk about infamous tomorrow and the order on the 18th

[LexHazard79]

Great indie games are always welcome! These titles are definitely very appealing and I cant wait to play them. $199 Vita w/Borderlands 2 is something I might looking into aswell.

[Akuma07]

It's good to see how popular indie's are becoming. Too bad it hasn't really changed the traditional model much. AAA studios are still not learning from this.

[Flames76]

Why in the world would they talk about PSvita?Its a flop that lost over 2 billion and only sold 7 million units in almoost 3 years lol.Sony even came out and said it will never make money.Im guessing sony loves to keep losing money?As far as the PS4 goes Titanfall is overshadowing all the games for it right now

[superterabyte]

[Stedron]

@superterabyte
Funny shit man keep it up. I love when you guys post gifs

[Ricegum]

Why are you here, in this article? Mentioning Titanfall?

Oh god, it's just another troll.

[memots]

??

[xymox333]

I will be really pissed if the PS4 get's a God Of War game before the Ps Vita. Look Sony PS4 players already got inFAMOUS before us {the Vita players} come on Sony.

At least give us a exclusive main-entry God Of War game. Some GT6 or 7 would be nice too.

[JasonRoseEh]

Why would SSM waste the cache of God of War on the Vita as this point? Why marginalize that vision for the series when it can be so much more on the PS4? God of War 3 and Ascension are 2 of the best looking games last gen, easily top 10 across both consoles, I don't want God of War taking a step back and being held on the Vita.

BTW I have and love my Vita, but GOW doesn't belong there now.

[Locknuts]

So all the good stuff was under NDA? Bummer....

[Psygnosis333]

I just don't understand why Poliphony Digital dont want to relise Gran Turismo 6 on PS Vita..it will be huge success on handheld device ,PSP got GT4 and it was great :)

[NeloAnjelo]

Can't wait to see what they showed for PS4

[GetRealOne]

The indie titles looking nice. Hotline Miami 2, Oddworld New and Tasty are the hottest i think. And totally forgotten about the console exclusive retail title daylight. Just sold my xone yesterday, because titanfall is not intersting me and nothing else is coming out the next months...

[idontcare]

Liarrr!

[GetRealOne]

What about name one game coming out before autumn... sry I forgot project spark, something else?

[Tzuno]

They saw a green light.

[TheRedButterfly]

They saw… a slimmed down Vita and a bunch of indies… - . - That "100 games coming to PS4 this year" is looking less and less impressive every day… How many of those 100 will be any good?

[GW212]

You can say the same thing about any platform. Most titles won't interest me.

What do you have? Titanfall (which I think is going to be a relative flop) and Quantum Break (no one has actually seen that one in action)?

[ricochetmg]

Titanfall will be a failure because EA backed the wrong pony.

[TheRedButterfly]

The difference is that MS and Nin aren't touting quantities.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

"Once more the Quad Brotherhood will rule the galaxy, and we shall have peace."

[ironmonkey]

Whats appealing on the xboxone right now that the ps4 doesnt already do better. just Live stream byitself already trumps anything an xbox can do. This is just another repeat of last gen sony with more games equals a winner.
