LOS ANGELES (Gamer.no): It was a humble Jack Tretton which kicked off Sony’s press conference at this year’s E3 Mass of.
– Thank you PlayStation fans who stood in line to get here already on Friday. You mean everything, he preached from the giant stage in Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
“I guess that’s a good thing”
In retrospect, it’s hard not to look at this innocent outstretched hand as a frempek on what ended up being megaton bomb at the end of the grand conference: Sony refuses to follow Microsoft into an everyday stuffed to the brim with requirements related to used game sales and network connection.
“Sony refuses to follow Microsoft into an everyday stuffed to the brim with requirements related to used game sales and network connection”
Instead they went straight into the throat of the competitor, with a language that clearly testified that gaming giant has been joined by the harsh criticism of Microsoft’s new online focus.
such Hallingkast makes PlayStation 4 at extremely attractive for Internet pulp, especially in the last couple of weeks after Microsoft Xbox One unveiling, has allowed lamentations heard loud and clear. Some have even begged Sony to not impose any restrictions on used game sales and demand for the Internet.
At Sony therefore choose to emphasize hard and clearly at the end of their conference, just ten hours after Microsoft showed off their arsenal of games, is a bit of a declaration of war.
– Customer confidence is a key element in everything we do, said Tretton and punctured the many speculations that Sony was going to follow the arch-rival’s footsteps in terms of physical games and online requirements.
New focus
The strange thing about it all is that Sony and Microsoft, which until now has largely competed for the same audience, it seems to go their separate ways. Microsoft is embracing a wider audience with a heightened focus on media capabilities, while Sony polisher their machine for a gaming audience (something PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has been ready for a while now). Sony did in fact its entertainment chief Michael Lynton just five minutes to talk about the media service before he ran off the stage to make room for more gaming stuff. For us who already sitting and drooling for the next generation, the competition seems to be in Sony’s favor right now – what the wider international audience seems I am however a bit more uncertain.
PlayStation 4
To further tap true boxer out of rival giant announced a price tag of late autumn console that is 100 euros during the competitor. , That is not Sony’s PlayStation 4 stuffed Eye camera into the sum, so if you want the whole shebang begins difference to decrease significantly.
Most importantly, any perception that we are in the front line of console purchases are left with. About one console is so much cheaper than its competitors, while it seems to offer more of what we want than the other, we will of course also be more susceptible to snatch it up precisely.
Simultaneously: Is there one thing we have learned from the previous console generation is that things change drastically in a modern console lifecycle. PlayStation 3 was long frowned upon by game fans in the international context by a monstrous arrogance and high price from Sony, while the Xbox 360 seemed to be the preferred console and have the upper hand in the market. Towards the end of the generation has all evened out, both in the sales context and game selection.
“Online gaming is locked behind payment service PlayStation Plus, a feature that until now has been one of Sony’s biggest advantage over its competitor.”
Must pay to play online
On the negative side, Sony managed to sneak away an important informasjonsbit the conference. Online gaming is locked behind payment service PlayStation Plus, a feature that until now has been one of Sony’s biggest advantage over its competitor.
such a claim, it also comes more responsibility for a good service that does not fall into the same pitfalls that made the PlayStation Network on PlayStation 3 If Sony does not deliver here are net cost of a heavy pill to swallow for many.
Otherwise, it’s nice that Sony does not seem to ease the PlayStation Plus service’s other offerings. Both the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 uses the same payment service is a big plus for anyone who has invested in Sony’s consoles.
Then there was the conference, then
Sony’s usual presentation style is still an aber they have not managed to shake off. It seems more rigid and less playful than Microsoft’s gaming bonanza of trailers and show. For me that still sits and writes it superbly to get a little more time between battles, but for those at home, I suspect that the endless talk from Jack Tretton, Shuhei Yoshida and Andrew House can be a bit bland in length.
Interestingly enough continues Sony exclusivity playful, but it’s now more about downloadable content than the whole game. It is however a bit tiresome to hear about all of småpirk to be thrown PlayStation 4 public’s way. Had you given me five bucks for every time Yoshida talked about exclusive content for the many games that were shown had I earned roughly on Los Angeles flight.
Yes, because it lacked not at stake here either. After 20 minutes of PlayStation 3 – PlayStation Vita and scrap slim Sony started with the unveiling, breathless trailers and experiences that convinced me that a purchase at launch is not a stupid idea.
In addition to a new look at the games that were announced in February, we were served trailers and stage play by Ready at Dawn The Order: 1886 Avalanch Studios Mad Max as we’ve heard rumblings for a while, and a tasty tokløver to Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix fans in Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV. At the same time we see an impressive demonstration of Bungie great shoot Destiny and a rainy demonstration of Watch Dogs.
Some concern was that the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Destiny experienced technical problems during game introductions. A couple of really long freeze points did not show games from their best side. In the former case, it was so bad at the end that the demonstration hung himself, and Sony decided to jump on to the next game. It was clearly embarrassed and defeated Ubisoft producer who left the scene.
Indie movement also had its time in the spotlight. Sony seems to continue his love affair with small games creators, and slammed as good eight pieces on stage simultaneously. In addition, Bastion studio Supergiant Games on stage and told about the next game his, Transistor, like on the front console comes first PlayStation 4 It is well worth noting that both Supergiant Games and The Witness creator Johnatan Blow seems to emigrate from Microsoft and across to the competitor, having had issue deals with the Xbox giant earlier. This underlines just murmur we’ve heard from indie movement for a long time that Sony is more attractive as a partner at this time.
Conclusion
Sony continues to give little too lengthy presentations during E3, with a dry Jack Tretton is a little too keen to talk about the PlayStation instead of view PlayStation. While no one can deny that Sony delivered the goods this year, with a packed schedule of games and games focus lying on its heels with its competitor.
The decisive moment fro Sony was still Tretton ridicule of Xbox Ones web standards and used game plan, and the audience roar of deafening applause when Sony boss told me that they have no intentions to follow suit when the PlayStation 4 comes to Christmas once. One last kick at the competitor’s direction came when it became clear that the console will be cheaper. P>
Now the Sony and Microsoft each way. Sony wants to capture an audience that is focused primarily on games, but Microsoft seems to look at its upcoming console as something “everyone” should have the TV set, a media box that will be the centerpiece of the living room. As it looks now, Sony has the most attractive offer for us who want a gaming console first and foremost be about games.
