E3 2013: All aboard the hype train

[Emperor Smeat]

Coming close to that time of the year again for arguably the biggest event in gaming. Considering Sony and Microsoft already held their own events while the other major publishers revealed most of their stuff, didn't need an extra early hype thread this year for E3.

[VSG]

June 6 is not >7 days away

[Immortal Moose]

June 6 is not >7 days away

Konami conference is Pre-E3.

[Kalyx triaD]

Here we go... So much copy-pasta coming...

[alvarado52]

I swear if Sony and Microsoft don't address their used game DRM (or lack there of) in detail i'm gonna go wreck a Gamestop.

[Kalyx triaD]

How many years has it been since I left the E3 thread to you, Smelly?

[Fignuts]

Another year, another few days of hoping for a Mirrors Edge 2 announcement.

[Kalyx triaD]

We might get lucky this year...

[Extreme Angle]

Really excited for this year

[Kalyx triaD]

As is every year, pretty much looking toward Nintendo. My expectations for the other two are so hilariously low they can only impress from there.

[Extreme Angle]

Yeah, really looking forward to the Smash Bros reveal

[ClockShot]

Ugh. Sony's presser is late this year. Usually it's on around mid-afternoon here on the east coast.

[Kane Knight]

HYPE

[Emperor Smeat]

How many years has it been since I left the E3 thread to you, Smelly?

Third year in a row.

[Drakul]

I'm only looking forward to Nintendo. Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, New IP and who knows what else as well as more info on Yoshi's Island and LttP2.

Xbox have to perform a miracle to be worth caring about.

[Kane Knight]

I'm only looking forward to Nintendo. Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, New IP and who knows what else as well as more info on Yoshi's Island and LttP2.

Xbox have to perform a miracle to be worth caring about.

Nintendo's EA showing should be excellent this year.

HYPE

[Drakul]

Earlier today, Masahiro Sakurai sent out a tweet saying that new video from the upcoming installment of the Nintendo all-star fighting franchise will be debuting on June 11.

[ClockShot]

Come home later and watch Konami's presser. Hoping Lords of Shadow 2 got a date set in stone.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Konami Bitches, yeahhhhhhh.

...


Starting with social games division.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

You can already watch the whole thing:

http://uk.gamespot.com/shows/gamespot-live/?event=konami-pre-e3-show-2013


Keifer Sutherland is Snake...

[Emperor Smeat]

Also available on Youtube as well.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jRvnyT1R8J8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Fignuts]

Holy shit snacks, Lords of Shadow 2 looks amazing.

Also, I want the song from that trailer.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Final Bosman is easily becoming the best gaming video every week. Guy is just so sincere and doesn't need to use anger to get comedy out of it.

[Kane Knight]

He reminds me of John Hodgeman.

[LoDownM]

I like the "We are pleased to announce, Mirror's Edge 2, exclusively for Kinect." at the end of the video, because I can see EA/Microsoft saying that and pissing everyone off.

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh this guy. I like this guy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bunch of E3 tidbits and news (broken down by conference or where most of it will likely occur):

Capcom:
* Capcom is claiming they have a "big surprise" to reveal at E3. They also revealed the majority of games they will show off at E3.

[Kalyx triaD]

In the interest of keeping things streamlined with what will be a huge media week, let's keep shit like that vid out of here.

[Drakul]

Passing the time.

[ClockShot]

Watched the Konami press conference last night. As I thought, Lords of Shadow 2 looks amazing.

Kinda missing the Combat Cross already, but I guess a sword will do.

[KIRA]

Kingdom hearts my fingers are crossed for a PS3 version as well as I cant shell out the money for another system for a good while but still :drool::drool::drool:

[Kalyx triaD]

You know the time between Square announcing a game releasing it is like a whole console generation.

FF15 for Xbox 4.

[Ermaximus]

I'd really rather not buy a new system for one game. KH3 for PS3 is a must.

[Boomer]

E3 live stream night shows on Giant Bomb are some of my favorite gaming content all year. They start pretty late (10:00 PM PST), but they always have some crazy list of guests drinking and telling industry stories. Had some really awesome content last year with Ed Boon and David Jaffe.

[Blitz]

<div style="background-color:#000000;width:520px;"><div style="padding:4px;"><iframe src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:arc:video:gametrailers.com:1a185ec9-2cec-46c5-a512-e84fb993cb01" width="512" height="288" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div>

The Final Bosman is easily becoming the best gaming video every week. Guy is just so sincere and doesn't need to use anger to get comedy out of it.
That was incredible.

[LoDownM]

Rare's new game was revealed on SpikeTV's pre-show, Kinect Sport Rivals.

[LoDownM]

Omg, I want Ryse now.

Oh, looks like Rare trolled everyone on the pre-show thing.

[ClockShot]

Just got home, what I miss?

[Kalyx triaD]

Killer Instinct is indeed returning. Forza 5 thinks people give a fuck about racing fake humans. Stuff.

[LoDownM]

That Spark stuff looks very interesting.

[LoDownM]

Crimson Dragon, the quietest game in the world.

[ClockShot]

If it ain't Resident Evil, it's Dead Rising.

How about some Onimusha. Oh wait, that's cancelled.

[Ermaximus]

JFG in HD Rare. Stop being assholes.

[ClockShot]

OOPS!

[RoXer]

That Halo reveal was silly

Why would he need a duster/cloak?

He's in a space suit.

[LoDownM]

Hm, kinda impressed by Microsoft's press conference, maybe it's because my expectations where so low.

[alvarado52]

Hm, kinda impressed by Microsoft's press conference, maybe it's because my expectations where so low.

lol my thoughts exactly. I was going into this with a very "screw you MS" mind set.


As much as I hate their Xbox One policies, I cant deny how great these games (exclusives) look.

[ClockShot]

$499 for the new Xbox.

Meh. Haven't won me over yet, Bill Gates.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wasn't that the original price for the Xbox 360 (at least for the higher model)?


A few of the games looked really interesting although Jago looked a bit weird on the KI trailer.

[ClockShot]

I thought it was $399, maybe even $299.

EDIT: per wikipedia, $399 regular, $299 core version.

[alvarado52]

MIKE JOOOONES

[alvarado52]

I think its a reasonable price. A $100 price hike from the previous release.

[LoDownM]

Might end up buying a Xbone for Ryse and Dead Rising 3. And that Spark game possibly.

[Kalyx triaD]

Better show then I mentally prepared for. But as some of you said, my expectations were dirt low.

[Boomer]

I thought MGS5 looked great. Dead Rising 3 didn't look link Dead Rising (no goofiness that really is the only reason I love the series). Capy game looked alright, but I need to see more.

Don't care much about BF4 or Titanfall, but both showed well.


Oh, and Killer Instinct looked ok, I guess. Visually looked nice, but I totally can't tell if it will be fun to play at all. But then again, it looked like a three character demo.

[Boomer]

But for $499, I probably won't buy in for a while, if at all. Most of the games I would want will probably come to PC eventually, and I'm so far behind in my gaming catalog that I should be able to wait.

My XBL Gold goes up in August, and I'm not convinced I'm paying for it anymore.

[alvarado52]

These exclusives have me back on the fence for next gen system.

Dead Rising looked like a grittier departure from the others, but does maintain the core mechanics, so im okay with it.

Killer Instinct? Nuff said.

TitanFall looks plain sick.

[ClockShot]

THIEF!

[Emperor Smeat]

Microsoft revealed how their game video sharing system works and uses Twitch TV for hosting.

Microsoft has detailed the Xbox One’s video sharing capabilities with Upload Studio, a way of saving and sharing gameplay clips with friends, and also confirmed that the console will support Twitch.

Players can use Upload Studio to record and edit gameplay clips. Players have the ability to add commentary and a backdrop to the video to give it a personal touch, it can then be shared online or with your Xbox Live friends.

The platform holder also revealed a partnership with Twitch, which will allow players to quickly and easily stream footage to Twitch straight from the Xbox One and also add their own commentary.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/xbox-one-upload-studio-detailed-twitch-support/

For comparisons, Sony's PS4 sharing uses Ustream for hosting. Baring a surprise by Sony, neither would be providing any support to Youtube.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I had some life shit to deal with, so I missed Ms. Let's see what EA has to offer. Come on Mirrors Edge 2 and Plants V Zombies: Garden warfare.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ahahaha, yessss one of the 2 right off the bat.

[ClockShot]

Got an e-mail from gamestop telling me to pre-order now.

Just so ya know.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Got an e-mail from gamestop telling me to pre-order now.

Just so ya know.

Pre order what now?


Aw, PvZ GW looks so fucking ace, but XBox only announcement so far.

[ClockShot]

Xboxone, Hasney. November 2013, $499.

[ClockShot]

Hello again, Vince.

[ClockShot]

Someone's got a live mic. somewhere.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Battlefront sighting. BATTLEFRONT PEOPLE.

[LoDownM]

No gameplay for Battlefront :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

NFS looks good. Titanfall looked great too. EA surprisingly bringing it so far.

[ClockShot]

Why not just call it Hot Pursuit 3. Or would this be 4?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No gameplay for Battlefront :(

They did say last week that there would be no Star Wars games until end of 2014 at the earliest, so I'm not shocked. Just glad to be surprised.

[ClockShot]

A Need for Speed movie?

Why?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hopefully NFS movie is the only bullshit. Really hope this Dragon Age is a return to form.

End of 2014 nnnngggg

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Is that Morrigans voice?! ALL IS FORGIVEN.

[RoXer]

PEGGLE 2 YOU GUYS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

PEGGLE 2 YOU GUYS

I know, it'll be an ace time waster too.


Fuck NBA all star man.

[ClockShot]

I thought I heard someone's voice.

Someone backstage like a producer is popping in here and there.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Still not gameplay then. OK.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

At least Madden is gameplay. Looking quite pretty.

As pretty as big guys in padding can look.

[ClockShot]

Good, Von Miller ain't on the cover.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They're rattling through the sports quite quickly, quite happy with that.

FIFA is passing me off though because the PC version will still be based on the old engine and I'd buy it if it looked like that.

[RoXer]

Drake for some reason

[ClockShot]

I think Pro Evolution looks better than Fifa.

[ClockShot]

Bruce Buffer?

WHERE'S MICHAEL?!

[ClockShot]

Kinda hoping Brock Lesnar's music hits.......

[Boomer]

They did some NFS filming in my hometown. Still not gonna see it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Battlefield 4 looks better than the PS4 Killzone already, but this is the PC version, so we're not sure what the gap is going to be like yet.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think EA said in the past at least for player count the console version will support 64 players like the PC will.

Edit: Nevermind it was confirmed by EA earlier on the speech that I missed

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Holy shit the building collapse.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

MIRRORS EDGE 2 FJFJWKFBRKSBFJEKFBTISJFBTIRIFBFHFIDJFBFHFJF

[LoDownM]

Dat destruction in BF4.

[Boomer]

They will have to do a lot to convince me to play a Mirror's Edge sequel. Original suffered a lot when the action slowed down, and I really disliked any sections with any sort of combat. I'm sure it will be a better game though.

[RoXer]

You are most definitely in the minority

[Kalyx triaD]

That Battlefield 4 gameplay was rad. Great to see Mirror's Edge 2.

AND BATTLEFRONT BITCHES

[Boomer]

You are most definitely in the minority

I think the original is flawed as hell, but I think the game has always deserved a sequel to iron the kinks out. People have been clamoring for it, sure, but there are plenty of people who feel the way I do.

And honestly, why does it matter whether I'm in the minority or not? Just my opinion.

[Boomer]

Mirror's Edge is also almost five years old. I think it will get a much better treatment now.

Should make some Oculus Rift support!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Was going to turn the Gametrailers feed off before David Cage makes me want to punch something, but an advert to The Final Bosman made me really happy so now I can survive him.

[alvarado52]

In an age where the internet tends to ruin reveals and what not, this E3 has been a refreshing one. Sure, we all knew of these games, but we didnt know what these games were looking like, played like, etc.

This E3 has made me a little less pessimistic about the next console generation.

[Boomer]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't like watching E3, I like watching people talk about E3.

I still watch everything (except Konami's conference) every year. I've also been out of work or on summer vacation during E3 for the past five years or so, but I imagine I'd still have it on if I were working. I guess I just like seeing the reveals instead of reading about them later.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, E3's been cool so far. Actually hyped for Ubisoft in 30mins and Sony tonight. Nintendo tomorrow should be crazy.

[Cool King]

So I've watched the Microsoft and EA conferences and I might watch Ubisoft & Sony's.

Anyway, I marked out like a bitch at the announcement of Killer Instinct, but it didn't last long when it was announced as being an Xbox One exclusive, but then again, it is a Rare game so I should have expected it.

At the beginning of Microsoft's conference, I was pretty much certain that I wasn't buying the console. It just wasn't doing anything for me and the only way Microsoft could change my mind was if they showed some good games. Killer Instinct is one of those games. I also thought Sunset Overdrive looked interesting and Metal Gear Solid V has gained my interest again. It looks pretty damn good. I lost a tiny bit of interest in it as I had doubts about how good Kiefer Sutherland would be as Snake but from what I heard, he's not bad as Snake.

One main thing that's putting me off from buying an XBox One is the price. It's £429 here and who knows how much a game will cost. If I am to buy it, it may very well be a good bit in the future.

Moving on to EA and I was only watching to see if a certain game was announced. I had to watch the conference right to the end but it was worth it as finally, Mirror's Edge 2 is official!

http://img.addfunny.com/funnypictures/hodgepodge/12/whenimasturbatef504efcb145d07.gif

As the kids say these days, I "lost my shit" at the announcement. I'm so happy it's official but I just hope to God it isn't going to only be on the Xbox One and PS4. I'd be happy if there were also 360 and PS3 versions but then again, I get the feeling that if the game uses the Frostbite 3 engine, it'll need the Xbox One and PS4. :-\

[Emperor Smeat]

Already guaranteed to be running on the Frostbite 3 engine considering everything shown today by EA is running on it and EA did tease in the past Mirror's Edge 2 would use it when DICE first announced the new engine.

Considering the Xbox 360 and PS3 already use the engine, they could get the game although it all depends on what EA/DICE are doing with the game that would require it to be only next-gen.

[Cool King]

I just watched the trailer again and saw the Frostbite 3 engine logo at the end.

Oh well.

[LoDownM]

People on the GameTrailers stream bitching about Aisha Tyler, the must've forgotten that terrible douchebag Ubisoft had hosting before.

Stop showing the stage during the trailers, fuck. No one wants to see the fucking stage.

[Emperor Smeat]

The Crew doing the same idea as Need For Speed Rivals with the whole instant single-to-multiplayer for missions/races.

[RoXer]

The Crew looking pretty darn neat

[Ermaximus]

Boomer, be glad you can play Mirror's Edge. I can't play it without getting motion sickness. Every damned time.

Aside from The Division, which presents an interesting counter to Bungie's Destiny, Ubisoft's show was boring. Too many CG trailers. Aisha was cool as usual, though.

I keep watching that Battlefield 4 multi trailer and getting chills.

Final Fantasy XV looks gorgeous. Also Kingdom Hearts III or something.

[LoDownM]

Shit, I was too excited, did he say KH3 was a PS4 exclusive?

[Blitz]

Thought I heard that it will be on both PS3 and 4.

[Blitz]

lollllll Assassin's Creed demo just shit the bed

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Polygon, KH 3 is PS4 exclusive while the new Final Fantasy game is both for PS3 and PS4.

[alvarado52]

Well, as far as exclusives go...so far the Xbone has the better overall group IMO.

[Disturbed316]

Why is everyone getting a boner over Mirror's Edge 2? Yeah the first one was something different but I personally didn't feel blown away by it, at the end of the day all you doing is running and jumping, I may as well be playing a Mario game.

Some interesting reveals so far, not quite sure what to make of the PS4 looks. Personally looking forward to the new episode of Telltale Games Walking Dead, and interesting to see where Dead Rising 3 and Assassin's Creed 4 go.

[LoDownM]

Whelp, Sony just won.

[Blitz]

Sony is kinda tap dancing all over Microsoft's face right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Sony just lock out online multiplayer to only PS+ subscribers for the PS4?

A few tweets on Twitter are stating Sony might have just implied that to be the case.

still funny though

[LoDownM]

Kinda sold on Destiny now.

[Blitz]

lol so PS4 pretty much had to have no DRM, or else the fanboys would've torn it apart for that PLUS a multiplayer fee in one generation.

That said, I have no issue paying for a worthwhile online experience.

Also Destiny looks pretty hot. And I never gave a single fuck about Halo.

[Blitz]

damnnnnnn 399

[What Would Kevin Do?]

$399.

Holy shit.


Are they trying to bury Microsoft before the next gen even starts?

[Blitz]

Damn. I usually don't subscribe to "winning and losing" in these kind of things, but Sony just took Microsoft out behind the woodshed.

[Boomer]

I might actually buy one at launch at that price. If I can get one, that is.

[LoDownM]

Don't really mind having to pay for Plus to be able to play multiplayer, as long as they continue to give out free games and such on a monthly bases. Plus, I'm still a single player guy anyway.

[Blitz]

Any Microsoft exec with a modicum of intelligence is weeping into a bottle of whiskey right now.

[Disturbed316]

Wow, game over for Microsoft. I'm certainly leaning towards a PS4 now, I want a console for games not tv.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow between the digs and the price, Sony's making sure Microsoft won't be a threat any time soon to them.

Best case for Microsoft is to lower the price while worst case is early PS3 sales numbers or even worse with all those requirements.

[FearedSanctity]

I was only going to pay for one online service, and for apparently half the price, PS+ it is

[Boomer]

I'm not sure Microsoft can lower the price unless they remove the Kinect from the box. And I'm not so sure they want to do that; they want to make sure everyone can play every game released on the system.

[alvarado52]

Well, as far as hardware goes, I like what Sony is doing with (and without) their policies concerning DRM...

....but these things are about software, and i feel MS has the stronger exclusive lineup.

[alvarado52]

I dont know why you guys are saying Sony won. Sure, they undercut in terms of price and policies, but youre really gonna tell me you were blown away by the next gen exclusives of an extra hour of Watch Dogs content and early access to Elder Scrolls beta over the actual software of TitanFall and Dead Rising?


Bitch please.

[Kalyx triaD]

Xbox One definitely got the games but maaaaaaaaaan.

we're not friends anymore

[FearedSanctity]

Another pretty alright looking FPS and ANOTHER zombie game just aren't really enticing enough for me to make the commitment. I'll get one EVENTUALLY, sure. But so far nothing has made me deem the Xbone my priority

Bitch please.

Exclusive FPS's are not a system seller for me. Dead Rising 3 looks like it might be fun, but it doesn't really scream to me "buy an xbone" at launch.

I'm far more interested in FF15 and Kingdom Hearts 3. And since AC4, Watchdogs, The Division, Destiny and The Crew are all multiplatform, I'll be getting a PS4 first.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guys... get both for fuck sake. One this year and next year the next.

[ClockShot]

Just got home from my buddy's house. We watched the Ubisoft and Sony pressers.

My thoughts in the morning.

[Boomer]

I hope Adam Boyes makes it on the GB livestream tonight or sometime this week. That will be a fun conversation.

[alvarado52]

So i preordered both consoles on Amazon successfully...hopefully I get them on launch, so I can resell dem bitches on eBay and get my system of choice free of charge off the potential profit.

Did they give an actual release date for either system? My Amazon account shows the PS4 delivery date of Dec 31st and Xbone of Dec 4th.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nope. As of now its just November for Xbox One and "Holiday 2013" for PS4.

If I had to guess, probably something similar to the Wii U with the launch date being between the week before to the week of Black Friday

[alvarado52]

Huh...well, even if i get them a week or two later, i figure the price will still be pretty high on eBay.

[RoXer]

Do you really think they'll be sold out though?

[RoXer]

Or am I just being optimistic?

[RoXer]

Hmmm, maybe I should I do the same thing to earn some extra money.

I just don't see them running out of stock like last time.

Or maybe I'm being an idiot.

[alvarado52]

Everything this caliber gets sold out around holiday season.

Also, never underestimate the laziness of parents with money to burn.

[alvarado52]

the way I see it, on Amazon they dont charge me until they ship

If I get them both and theyre selling well on eBay, sweet.

If they dont, i dont open 'em and send them back and no harm no foul.

I imagine PS4 being so late with an actual system visual because, initially, they had that smug look on their face like "We'll let Microsoft reveal theirs first, then upstage them... "

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The 500GB hard drive is upgradeable just like the PS3 one as well, not sure what MS is doing about that. Pretty much cleaned MS's clock, there is just no way I'd buy into an XBone when there's a cheaper, more powerful console that doesn't try and shaft you every single way they can.

[ClockShot]

Good morning everybody. As promised my thoughts.

Ubisoft came to play again. Jerry Cantrell opening up with Rocksmith was pretty cool. Aisha Tyler back to host was great.

Like I said when Rainbow Six: Patriots got cancelled, they owe Tom Clancy an I.O.U. And did they deliver with The Division. Looks pretty darn cool.

Want Watchdogs.........NOW!

As for the boys at Sony, they knocked it out of the park, but not far, in my opinion. Wanted to see a couple more first party titles get announced. Like The Last Guardian, that would have blown the roof of the place. But The Order looked neat.

I'll gladly pay a little extra for PlaystationPlus, was thinking about it anyway. And I don't think The Eye will give me a problem or get forced on me.

Gonna go to my lucky Gamestop and get my reserve a PS4. Gonna be a great holiday.

:D Mega Man.

Nintendo did a much better job of promoting the 3DS than what Sony did with the Vita last night.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's so bizzare, surely Sony should look at the 3DS and see that it sold like shit until Nintendo got some games out for it and not just ignore it. Walking Dead is fantastic, but not late-port system shifter fantastic.

[Kane Knight]

I'm not sure Microsoft can lower the price unless they remove the Kinect from the box. And I'm not so sure they want to do that; they want to make sure everyone can play every game released on the system.

They could actually take a loss. In fact, it looks like their current setup sees an actual markup. If they're more concerned with making a profit on each individual Xbox rather than selling a large install base, this is the way to go, I guess.

Xbox One definitely got the games but maaaaaaaaaan.

A shame you need special permissions just to play them.

Everything this caliber gets sold out around holiday season.

The Playstation 3 would like a word with you.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd be willing to bet Sony really believes the sales for the Vita will spike once the PS4 arrives not because of Vita games but because of the whole Remote Play feature. Had the same thinking and attitude with the PSP.

Even when they had something nice to talk about the Vita (60% sales are digital), the actual reason behind it is really depressing (barely any games on retail shelves).

[RoXer]

Giant Bomb live stream gear got stolen :( Glad I just went to bed when I realized they were running late.

Yeah I was going to post about it but I think only you and I listen/care

[alvarado52]

The Nintendo games look great, but they definitely didnt go out on a limb for something new.

Been thinking more about the PS4 v. Xbone, and as much as the DRM sitution is damn ridiculous, I personally enjoy the Xbone exclusives over the PS4 ones (which basically now consists of Killzone and whatever Naughty Dog has down the pipe).

The truth is, I haven't lent out, borrowed, or rented a game in years, so I believe Im the type that will be minimally effected by it. I do trade in from time to time for Amazon credit, but even that is scarce.

I just feel like if i buy the One, i'm contributing to a trend that should not be fed at all...but a lot of people felt the same way regarding paying for online play.

[alvarado52]

It appears Sony wasnt being 100% honest on the big stage (shocking, i know).

Third-Party Publishers WIll Have Final Say On Used Games for PS4

In an interview with Game Trailers’ Geoff Keighley, Sony CEO Jack Tretton shed more light on how used games will work on the PlayStation 4. It seems that, while the system’s first-party games will be free to trade in or share without restriction, third-party publishers can choose to behave otherwise.

Tretton’s remarks start at about 1:08:00 in this segment:

“If the consumer pays x amount of dollars for a game and they don’t have the flexibility to get some additional value out of it, it changes the way the perceive the value of the game and it takes dollars out of their pocket to buy a new game... We just want to give the consumer flexibility.”

Asked what Sony’s response would be if publishers wanted to restrict used games sales, Tretton replied:

“We create the platform. We’ve certainly stated with our first party games, we’re not going to be doing that. But we welcome publishers and their business models to our platforms. There’s going to be free-to-play; there’s going to be every potential business model on there and again that’s up to their relationship with the consumer and what they think is going to put them in the best stead. So we’re not going to dictate that. We’re going to give them a platform to publish on."

On DRM:

"The DRM decision is going to have to be in the hands of the third parties. That’s not something that we’re going to dictate or mandate or control or implement."

Tretton also said that a PlayStation Plus membership will be a mandatory purchase if you want to play multiplayer for PS4.

http://kotaku.com/third-party-publishers-will-have-final-say-on-used-game-512643240

[Boomer]

Sony was being completely honest; I believe you are misconstruing the words. Sony isn't enforcing any DRM on games, but is leaving third-parties to do so if they wish. It's the same as it is now. Microsoft is forcing the DRM themselves, and I'm sure publishers could add more DRM to their games on Xbox One if they so desired as well. I'm sure EA or some similar publisher has requested these features out of the gate for their own reasons, and Sony is leaving the option in for them.

[Boomer]

It's the whole "Online passes are totally stupid and nobody but the publisher likes them, but we will still let you do them" answer. It's just the same as it is now on 360 and PS3.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah they never said the Used Game policy/DRM was suddenly being removed as part of all those digs against Microsoft. Those people cheering and clapping yesterday probably didn't even realize its still there. To be fair, Microsoft also has it as an optional feature but its tied into a lot more restrictions than Sony's.

Same for the announcement of PS+ now being required for multiplayer on the PS4 since people only noticed it from a disclaimer/bulletpoints and not something Sony said last night.

The whole conference was designed to get people as less pissed about the DRM side of things Sony is doing while keeping all the anger focused on Microsoft.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, that's old news.

Can't really blame them, as you have to figure that having no DRM whatsoever, would affect third party support.

Even when they had something nice to talk about the Vita (60% sales are digital), the actual reason behind it is really depressing (barely any games on retail shelves).

With Plus being mandatory, the best selling point for the Vita may be free games. This is provided they don't change things up, but this is one of the main reasons I got a Vita.

Now, if only they'd make the cards cheaper so I didn't have to swap out my games every four hours....

It appears Sony wasnt being 100% honest on the big stage (shocking, i know).


Sony was transparent about this from the announcement of the console in the first place. It's not new, dishonest, backtracking or kleenex

The PS3 already has some DRM on games, like a PSN Capcom fighting game that I don't quite recall.

The PS3 has some DRM on all games, as they're on the PS3.

I don't imagine any console this gen is going to let you play burned games. Can't comment on the specific one here, but it's not like consoles are exactly open systems.

According to a few E3 interviews, EA is coming up with another "Online Pass"-type plan and would make use of the new options Microsoft and Sony is offering for their next gen consoles.

EA even hinted they had no clue Sony was still allowing some restrictions possible and are considering using those options for their new plan on the PS4.

Yep I got back home in time. Fucking love Justin McElroy stories (his Sherlock Holmes stories from years past were so damn funny).

Day 2 is on with Cliffy B and Jonathan Blow

[Boomer]

One of the best E3 talks I've ever seen them do. Amazing shit.

[RoXer]

I wish they would have stayed longer

[Boomer]

I have a lot of respect for both of those dudes, even if they both occasionally do things in the media that I'm not a huge fan of: Cliffy acts like a rock star, and probably is as close to one as you will see in the industry, but I'm happy to see he seems to have mellowed out some after his departure from Epic. And Blow is just fucking smart, but does a lot more complaining on Twitter than I really care to read. I do really respect what he's done for indies (I think Indie Fund is an awesome idea and I'm happy he helped make that work).

[Boomer]

They probably would have if they didn't have a shitload of guests left to show, and I guess it's technically possible they could show up on a later part if they wanted to.

Probably due to missing out on a day for their E3 recap shows. Yesterday was around the same as well for the guests being there for the 1st hour or so.

Yeah Blow is really smart when he's not complaining or acting like a douche on Twitter. Got really bad for a period where he became a Sony exclusive provider and the lashing out at Nintendo (while Nintendo was fixing a lot of their mistakes from the WiiWare era).

[Boomer]

I actually gained a lot of respect for Blow when he shared the couch with a XBL exec in 2011, and basically dismantled Microsoft for their practices on how hard it was to get his game on their system. I remember it ending up kind of ugly, but I liked that he was willing to stand up and speak eloquently about his issues, even if he became a bit overbearing in the process.

[Kalyx triaD]

Link me that. Sounds fun.

[Boomer]

Nice, I don't think Zampella has ever showed up for anything on GB. Interested to see what he's like.

[Boomer]

Well current show is http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb or http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/.

Are you asking for that 2011 Blow chat?

Think he might have been the one who also revealed how expensive the patch system was for XBL and PSN which got everyone pissed off at both Microsoft and Sony.

[Boomer]

Yeah, the chat from 2011 is here. I was scrubbing through, and it looks like they are talking about it around 50-60 minutes in:

[RoXer]

I think you and I were talking about it in the 2011 E3 thread too at the time.

Pretty interesting listening to Johnathan Blow complain about certification
</td></tr></tbody></table>
Really loved that discussion, especially right in front of the MS guys. Wish Blow had talked more; really enjoyed his perspective. The MS guys were a little too indoctrinated for my tastes.

Time for them to start talking shit about the shows on the stream. Excited.

Haha yep:
