Does PS4 support used games? Yes. You can also freely lend, borrow, rent and trade PlayStation 4 games with no penalty to the consumer whatsoever, a clear shot straight into Microsoft’s backyard… And straight into the hearts of gamers everywhere!
Whereas the XboxOne Used Games controversy has bitten Microsoft in the ass, Sony has flipped the script and played chess to checkmate Microsoft while they are down. Everything the XboxOne has done to take away the rights of consumers, Sony has done the opposite.
And then there’s this:
Genius. Absolutely genius. Things are going to get really interesting….
How much does the PS4 cost? $400. That’s the price for the PlayStation 4, making it a full $100 dollars cheaper than the $500 dollar XboxOne!
This is a HUGE blow to Microsoft, and could go very far in ensuring that PlayStation 4 will be the immediate favorite in the next-gen console war, at least out the starting gate.
Of course, which company has the better games is up to taste, I personally found the XboxOne’s lineup with TitanFall and Ryse to be much more impressive… but will that be enough for Microsoft? Time will tell!
PS4 will get exclusive Sony Pictures TV shows, movies and content in a huge new push to unite the PlayStation-brand with Sony’s other departments in movies, music and video.
This is Sony’s push to directly compete with Microsoft’s XboxOne and it’s focus on TV. However Sony is even more powerful in this department by the very fact that Breaking Bad, for example, was created by Sony Pictures!
In other words, they can provide exclusive TV shows or movies of the highest caliber, something Microsoft can’t boast… at least through in-house content.
Exactly how this will develop for the PS4 is up in the air, but this is a huge announcement by Sony either way from their E3 2013 Press Conference.
Mirror’s Edge 2 PS4, XboxOne, PC was announced and shown with an impressive trailer as the send-off for Electronic Art’s E3 2014 Press Conference.
Faith is back! She returns from this underrated gem of a series that didn’t sell well, but I think the sequel will be huge. People recognize that Mirror’s Edge 1 was a absolutely fantastic game, and one that they should’ve bought. All those people who missed out on it, will definitely pick up this sequel.
Especially given how awesome the first-person fighting looked in the new trailer. However they didn’t show much of the parkour, which surely will be a huge part of this sequel just like the fist game.
All-in-all, awesome announcement, especially given that they pointed out that Mirror’s Edge 2 will be released “when it’s ready” :P
It’s also worth noting that platforms were not announced, but surely it will be on PS4, XboxOne and PC when it’s finally announced.
Star Wars Battlefront returns! It’s back, but on XboxOne, PS4 or PC? We don’t know as details weren’t revealed, only the words “Star Wars Battlefront”, words that fans have been waiting and clamoring for, as they wait for their favorite online game to return.
No details on the game were revealed, nor anything else. But hey, it’s a great development.
DragonAge 3: Inquisition has been announced for XboxOne and PS4 as the third entry in the Dragon Age series. For the first time, Dragon Age will enter open-world gaming in a title that features both new and returning characters from the series.
Sadly no gameplay from the game was shown, but a CG trailer built for fans was shown at EA’s E3 2013 Press Conference.
It will be released in Spring of 2014 by BioWare and EA.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain for XboxOne made it’s Microsoft E3 2013 Press Conference debut and absolutely stunned the audience with one of the greatest trailers of all time. At least one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen.
Every single aspect of this game (remember Keifer Sutherland Voices Snake) was impressive, from the voice acting and story, to the cinematic nature, to the INCREDIBLE gameplay. Metal Gear Solid 5 takes the franchise into an open-world for the first time and absolutely blows games like Elder Scrolls out of the water when you see the ways Snake can sneak through the environments.
At one point in the trailer he rides on a horse in an expensive desert environment past a group of guards and makes it past them unseen, by hugging to the side of the horse! Absolutely awesome. The gunplay, the close quarters combat, the phenomal graphics… this game just looks incredible.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released likely in 2014 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC and now XboxOne. The XboxOne version shown is the first time we’ve seen the fact that MGS5 is coming to a next-gen platform, but it will most-definitely, assuredly, be hitting the PS4 as well. It will likely get announced later today at Sony’s E3 2014 Press Conference.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming to XboxOne with some exclusive features, including full support for SmartGlass support.
The game, which is the latest from Polish developer CD ProjektRED, is the close of The Witcher trilogy and is the first open-world game in the series. This game looks incredibly impressive. Don’t forget about The Witcher 3 which is an easy game to get lost in the shuffle, but is an incredibly well polished and epic title of high pedigree that should not be missed.
And the Press Conference footage of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on XboxOne is definite proof of that!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released in 2014 for XboxOne, PS4 and PC.
Project Spark for XboxOne was announced at Microsoft’s E3 2013 Press Conference as Microsoft’s answer to LittleBigPlanet or RPG Maker, which looks like these games but ON FREAKIN’ CRACK.
Project Spark is a “game creator” platform where players are able to easily shape and build worlds and share them with their friends. But unlike the aforementioned games, this game is a third-person action game, where players can easily mold the world as they see fit using simple voice commands, where you can say “mountains” or “forest” and can even change the daylight. You can also use smartglass or the controller, and mold by simply moving the stick. Drop enemies in, and immediately drop your player Clark in and you can start playing.
You can also mold and change enemies on-the-fly, and have a buddy co-op with you and change and mold the world as you are playing it!
The details are somewhat murky but just watch the video and you’ll see exactly how this game plays. Another fantastic AAA killer-app for XboxOne. Mighty impressive!
