This is for the other games.

That move thing from Media Molecule looked different and I am glad its not anther LIttleBigPlanet as I can't see where they can go with that but it doesn't interest me that much.

Knack, when I first saw this it looked like a pixar film.

The Witness: Braid was interesting while short it was enjoyable I just hope that epiphany thing he talks about doesn't take to long. As my patience is not great, when I have no idea what to do.

Deep Down: those dragon flames looked awesome, very impressive graphics  rumoured to be a squeal of Dragons Dogma.

Final Fantasy: to be shown at E3, please oh please be Versus.

Other Square Enix title: Don't have an opinion on as I have no idea on what gameplay path it could take.

[I_live_4_fun]

I thought the exact same thing when I saw Knack, lol. And that was funny when Shinji Hashimoto came on to tease the new Final Fantasy for Square Enix at E3. I really thought he was going to announce it there and then .

Deep down looks really good. I liked Dragon's Dogma by Capcom and this looks like it's an RPG too .

[OC-138]

Deep down looks cool, kind of like Skyrim but not...definitely impressive graphics wise.

[Axe99]

I was generally very impressed - I'm a big action-platformer fan, and it was awesome to see them open their conference with one .  Deep Down looked excellent (I'm hoping a coop dungeon-crawler - gotta be half-decent odds), and I'm sure the Witness will be very impressive but I'll need a walkthrough to finish it, lol .

The rest of the games shown were pretty good, but we'll be seeing alot more games being revealed now that the PS4 is official and the NDA is lifted from developers to keep their mouths shut about next-gen.

The floodgates are now open! Waiting patiently for BF4!

[Saintsy]

Wouldn't mind a new dora the explorer game. With these new specs, they could do wonders!
Maybe i'll never find the apple thats behined her now!!!

Battlefield 4 has been confirmed for next-gen consoles !

The EA Labels President, Frank Gibeau mentioned this briefly in a "Transition Is Our Friend" blog entry on the EA website:

"For EA’s creative teams, this transition comes as no surprise. We’ve been investing and innovating on new technology for months. Console partners who have seen our early work agree, EA’s next-gen software is nothing short of astonishing. At a GameStop company meeting earlier this week, we gave 500 store managers a sneak peak at Battlefield 4. The game received a huge ovation and thousands of fans reacted to a single enthusiastic Tweet by GameStop’s CEO".

I don't think there are any official details about the game as yet (but I'm sure someone will make a big thread about it when there is lol).

Yeah this was revealed a while ago with a document from EA apparently. with some information like 64 players, 3 factions US/RU/CH etc

Cant wait for E3! Should be a very interesting E3 with so many games and hardware.

[OC-138]

Yeah, i might actually care about e3 this year, seems like it will be huge.

on pc, has bf traditionally had an annual release (not talking about bad company here, talking the actual 'good' battlefield game) ?

Nah, I think it's been a bit intermittent.  The gap between BF2 and BF3 was pretty big.  Outlaw's the best person to answer though, I'm sure he'll be along soon .

[Outlaw]

Battlefield 1942 released in 2002
Battlefield 2 released in 2005
Battlefield 3 released in 2011

6 year gap between BF2 and BF3.

^ math checks out...

[straussy240]

Anyways back to the topic, I wonder if the presence of the Activision CEO might hint that ps4 could get dlc before xbox for Destiny

[spectre51]

PlayStation get timed DLC ahead of Xbox well I never.

I know of a couple of PS exclusive DLC but I can't remember if we have had any timed ones.

Hope Bungie can pull off Destiny it looks good but the 10 year plan is ambitious, I feel Activision will push this to be another cash cow with COD and Skywalkers.

Hmm i doubt it, i'm thinking that PS4 might be the lead platform out of the two next gen consoles for Destiny and other future titles. Timed DLC exclusives might become obsolete next gen, well i think they should - but having exclusives games per consoles is still important.

I'm sure Microsoft will still pay Activision to give them DLC for COD on Xbox before PS4. I'm interested in seeing what Microsoft has planned, not just hardware but games - they dont seem to have anything other than Halo, Gears of War & Forza, i have a feeling they'll push Windows 8 / Windows RT with the next-box.

Was nice seeing Blizzard on stage too, sure Diablo III is old but still nice to have the option for console gamers, but it also could lead to blizzard releasing future titles for PS4 - StarCraft II wouldve been a good title to have on PS4.

Agreed

Being a huge xbox gamer up until a few months ago, Microsoft's business model has been putting a lot of their fans in shitty moods for a long time. Everything is so Kinect focused, with entertainment apps, plus limited first party support for new IP's. Microsoft have sorta forgot they are a gaming console first and foremost.

I really was excited about the fact that Sony came out and said they were focusing on being a console for gamers and they kept the focus on games, which I am sure will win a lot of xbox gamers across to the dark side.
It almost felt like Sony were talking directly to xbox gamers and having a dig at microsoft at the same time about there lack of exclusive games

For microsoft to compete next generation they need to broaden there horizons past halo, fable, gears and forza as I dont believe they can compete with just four main exclusive franchises, they need to become a gaming console again, not a home entertainment system that you sometimes play games on.

[Outlaw]

Yeah exactly - besides competition is healthy! I will pick up the nextbox if it has decent exclusive games that i'd want to play otherwise PS4 will be enough for me.

Yeah mate - I'm an Xbox gamer as well... I play both though but MS has definitely abandoned the 'core' gamer. I stated it in another thread so I won't go into too much detail. I'm not particularly interested in the the next xbox, simply because, like you, there's only really Halo, Fable, Gears and Forza. Fable I enjoyed but there is no Peter Molyneux anymore. Halo I was never a huge fan of. Gears has been overdone and has become stale. Forza is a brilliant game and probably the only thing that the Xbox has going for it at the moment... along with some of the XBLA games like Trials Evolution. Sony is still pumping out great AAA first party stuff... 2013 looks to be another ripper year. MS has lost complete touch with the gamer.
