Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:43:05 PMOn immediacy, Sony wants to remove the barrier between the system and your need to play games. -
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:43:09 PMReally like how they're talking up speed, speed, speed. Anyone with a PS3 knows what it's like to wait and wait and wait. -
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:43:52 PMHistorically, games used to live in a tower. You play your game, then go back to the real world. Sony wants that game to follow you through your life.
-
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:44:09 PMPhilosophically, Sony is nailing it. Casual and mobile gaming is super fast. Eliminating some of the annoying console lag blurs the line a bit.

dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:44:48 PMI will say, between boot up time, logging into your profile, loading a game, then loading a save, deciding to start playing a game on current consoles is really not an impulse decision -- the PS4 promises instant gratification, and that could be a major win. -
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:44:52 PM@JeffBakalar: I'm curious to see what the execution is like.

Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:45:20 PMThey're still running through interviews with a lot of developers talking about what a great platform Playstation is.

Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:46:08 PMSony Worldwide Studio's Michael Denny is now on stage.
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:46:28 PMDenny lays out the ambiguous hype thick, talking about new experiences, synergy between hardware and software, and "unlocking the canvas of new creativity."

Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:47:32 PMKillzone?
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:47:43 PMGuerrilla Games exec is on stage to talk about a new game.
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:47:50 PMAnd... we're starting with sci-fi shooters...been there, done that....
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:47:52 PMExclusive game time -- here's where the sales pitch really starts.
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:48:07 PMOh seriously, is this a Killzone game? Talk about leading with the B-team...
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:48:20 PMNow for Kill Zone: Shadowfall.
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:48:39 PM
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:48:40 PMWell, the game certainly looks spectacular.
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:48:54 PM
-
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:48:55 PMIs this the part where we see another Killzone video that overpromises on visuals? Deja vu!
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:49:43 PMThe visuals are slick, but will this be what we actually end up seeing?
-

-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:50:49 PMThe main player is walking through this beautifully rendered city, when a massive explosion erupts.

-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:51:22 PMThe player wakes up in a daze to see the aftermath of the explosion. Again, the visuals are great.
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:51:32 PM
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:51:53 PMOkay, we're on to gameplay, which looks pretty impressive.
-

-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:52:31 PM
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:53:17 PMOk, looks like a Killzone game... and not that radically different than what the PS3 can do.
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:53:27 PMAmirite?
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:53:36 PM
-
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:53:44 PMJust so everyone knows, someone is playing this.
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:54:05 PMI wish all my games could be played on a giant screen in the Hammerstein Ballroom.
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:54:13 PM
-
dan.ackerman 2/20/2013 11:54:18 PMSorry to harp, but this kind of tiresome same-old-shooter mentality is exactly why people are worried about the future of living room game consoles.
-
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:55:01 PMCan't deny this looks great, but aside from graphics, this has all been done before.
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:55:13 PMThat said, I wouldn't mind spending a few minutes playing around with this game...as if Sony would let me.
-
sarahtew 2/20/2013 11:56:10 PM
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:56:20 PMSorry, it's "Killzone Shadow Fall."
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:56:23 PMPeople loved the trailer though.
-
Jeff Bakalar 2/20/2013 11:56:30 PMHere's a racing game...
-
Roger Cheng 2/20/2013 11:56:42 PMOn to the next trailer.
