Maybe it will too much money to secure exclusivity for FF15 & KH3, plus its SE and there is no release window for those games anyway internally or publicly. I suspect FF15 will arrive this year in Japan, since SE has no games releasing in the 2nd half of 2014.
I would rather have Sony invest that money on putting a team together developing a JRPG or producing an RPG developed by Level 5.
correction: it should be squaresoft game dumps a square enix game.
@Murad, CDPR is PC only game developer, just recently they have ventured in the console space. With the game releasing on XB1 and PS4 this allows them to release the game simultaneously(due to similarity of architecture), instead of releasing the PC first and then console versions. Also CDPR hasn't developed a PS3 game, so will they spend time & money to develop the game for PS3? The console has 80 Mil sales, but how much will that be in sales for witcher 3? I think this is the bes...
I thought Casey Hudson was making a new IP and was done working on ME.
Next Call of Duty announcement incoming. 99.99% positive
I believe I read here that next xbox will also include hardware from AMD.
to Britainz:
GG, MM are already working on a new IP.
Sony Santa Monica has Stig (director of GOW3) working on something new, maybe GOW in a new mythology, or a new IP. I think Resistance has been shelved for the time being, with Insomniac working on a different games. Naughty Dog maybe has a new IP in works or Uncharted 4 since they have 2 teams working on games. We have yet to hear from many Sony studios, this is just the beginning.
Hardware is mainly locked for the next Xbox, and software is already in works by many developers. My question is will the next Xbox have windows 8 OS or will it be proprietary OS built just for Xbox?
To Dragos:
I believe the hardware is locked, maybe some tweaks here and there. There is still E3, PAX, GDC, TGS to look forward to for Sony to talk about more gaikai implementation. It won't be a one trick pony. Read somewhere that graphics won't be the big jump this gen like last gen PS2 to PS3. Graphics will be more about details in the particles, emotions on faces of characters.
What I expect from Microsoft with new consoles is new exclusive experienc...
It all depends on Rockstar, to keep it PS exclusive or multi platform. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Agent to be exclusive.
to nukeitall,
PS3 in year 2012 had 7 Exclusives.
Little Big Planet Karting
PS All Star Battle Royale
Starhark
Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault
Sorcery (This is a move game don't know if this should be counted or not)
Tokyo Jungle
Twisted Metal
Also they release the ratchet and clank, killzone, jak and daxter collections.
plus MLB the show, and move games.
The problem I perceive for steambox is exclusives: We all know why we bought our console of choice, Xbox for Halo, Gears. Sony for Uncharted, Killzone and Nintendo for Zela, Metroid, Mario etc. The big question will be what will steambox offer compared to Xbox, PS and Wii. What will differentiate steambox from the current or upcoming consoles on market?
We will mostly be able to play steam games on PC with keyboard, mice or controller, so why buy a console to just play steam games....
I agree with you porkchop on this. Sony shouldn't buy Insomniac Games, and spend time in creating RPG games. But Sony should keep good relationship with Insomniac, they do need each other.

Buying Blizzard for MS would be not smart, knowing they take forever with releasing their games. If Blizzard started work on Diablo for the next Xbox, it wouldn't release until Xbox 4 was close to announcement. So ponying up 8 billion for Blizzard isn't worth it, maybe I'm wrong and they work on a new IP which is based around consoles architecture. COD which is a fan favorite currently could also change in the future and be on the way down. Curr...
I'm just upset from Sony, since they didn't push many RPGs this gen.
You have a good point green, but what is the life cycle a gaming console should have? This article suggests life cycle should be only 2-3 years. And 2-3 years doesn't justify the money invested in the gaming console. If 5-7 years then I think it will be good.
Sony conference was good in my opinion, but wonderbook was a disappointment, because they took a long time with the game. Instead they could have shown a core move game.
I think a lot of people are disappointed with Sony conference was because the gaming media had created a lot of hype for Sony conference where they will be showing Last Guardian, Agent, FF Vs13 and more.
I think Sony should have had a epic trailer for the end of the show instead of the Last of us. (I'm...
Isn't this for their studio in NC and not in CA?
Epic is as big as Valve. Also please note Epic owns 2 more developers People Can Fly and Chair Entertainment. If MS were to buy Epic, MS would have to buy the above mentioned devs. Even though these devs are small they are assets to Epic and has driven up the price of Epic. Also Epic has the Unreal Engine, Unreal Tournament and Gears of War which are big assets as well, and will cost MS to spend more. Whereas Sony purchases devs which are smaller and could add to the assets of Sony, such...
To Death,
Sony probably cancelled the game because the money invested to keep the game going would have been more then to just cancel the game and cut their losses. Approximately 50% of the games at a publisher are cancelled on a yearly basis. The loss done by this game would be small then it would have been if the game was allowed to be completed and not finding the sales upon release. There are games being cancelled by publisher during the pre-production phase but the pu...
