They really are trying hard which is a good thing. They really do seem more gamer focused this generation.

Minecraft isn't really a gamer game, its more of a nerd game.

How wrong you are my friend. Like it or not, Minecraft has revolutionized our current gaming trends.

No it hasn't, at all. And you're delusional if you think thats true.

Yes it has, not the game itself but that indie gaming can be a viable platform for the mass market.

What do you think a gamer is ? Someone who's played eleventy versions of COD ? A master at Counterstrike ?

A gamer is anyone who likes games. Could be all-Korea grandmaster Starcraft champion or a kid who likes Wii Sports.

Or board games or hopscotch.

Minecraft has sold over 20 million copies.

I would love to see a new Uncharted game at E3.

That would almost make me preorder a PS4.

Sure, tell that to the massive Indie market that would not have existed without it.

 

[zerocool84]

I wish but we would have heard some rumors on that, plus they've been working on their latest game that's coming out in the few weeks. It would have been awesome. I really enjoyed inFamous but not as much as Uncharted.

Yeah The Last of Us has been their primary focus the past couple years. If I had to guess, I'd say the next Uncharted won't come out until sometime in 2015.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Sometimes I feel like we hear too much. I want to be surprised by something like an Uncharted 4 launch title announcement dammit!

I'm glad their games take a while to come out because they're always top notch,I'm the other hand, The Last of Us would have been a great launch title though.

Uncharted has been Sony's go to series for a while. Though I think four games in the series is probably enough for now. Infamous and Killzone are already two big launch window titles. I don't want to see Sony throw all their best material up right at launch. First year is always the big hurdle and staggering AAA games would help prevent long droughts of new stuff. This was the problem with the Wii U, 3DS, and Vita.

I'd actually love to see Naughty Dog do a new Jak & Daxter game instead. Or something else along those lines. Too many M-rated shooters on the new platforms. Sometimes you just want some lighter fare.

 

[Remobz]

I can't wait for them to release the ps4 true specs and look at E3

 

[dagamer34]

Yeah The Last of Us has been their primary focus the past couple years. If I had to guess, I'd say the next Uncharted won't come out until sometime in 2015.

Naughty Dog has 2 development teams ever since Uncharted 2. One worked on Uncharted 3, the other worked on The Last of Us. Now, it's unlikely they'll have a PS4 game ready for launch, but I would expect something around Fall 2014.

Will there be an Uncharted 4? Maybe, though I hope they bring some fresh IP to the table. They've done so each and every generation: Crash (PSOne), Jak & Daxter (PS2), and Uncharted (PS3).

 

[purbeast0]

if there was a new jak and daxter title at ps4 launch, i will preorder one as soon as i get that email from gamestop.

 

[ManBearPig]

When is E3 anyway?

 

[Saylick]

When is E3 anyway?

June 11-13th.

More rumours pointing to tight Vita integration with the PS4. Apparently Sony wants all games that do not require the PS Eye to support remote play. Kind of something we already knew but more fuel for that fire. Sony's been sitting on this technology for a long time now.

In other news, the #PS4noDRM Twitter campaign is gaining a lot of traction. It's about retaining the right to purchase used, trade, and rent games. Though Sony's already hinted they won't block pre-owned games, a lot of gamers fear they may backtrack on this. Though we still don't have a clear answer, many Sony execs are showing support for it on Twitter.

I've been a bit cautious about the Vita streaming feature... mostly because Sony actually said we would get it for select titles on the PS3, but that didn't really happen. Although, I think there's a decent chance that the PS3 just didn't have the extra processing needed to support that feature, and the PS4 is designed with it in mind. So, at this point, I am cautiously optimistic.

Many Sony execs? How many console gaming related execs could they possibly have at Sony?

Already confirmed: https://twitter.com/yosp/status/339697948646572032

And you are correct, the reason why PS3 games didn't support Remote Play is they would have had to give up some SPU performance to transcode output for a PSP or Vita to display. Hardware encoder in the PS4 means no performance loss.
