The future of PlayStation is all about great games and entertainment, and at PlayStation Meeting 2013, we brought some of the brightest and most creative minds from the development community on stage to unveil the games that will define PS4. A partial initial lineup for PlayStation 4 includes first-party games from Guerilla Games (Killzone: Shadow Fall), Sucker Punch (inFamous Second Son), Evolution Studios (Driveclub), and Japan Studio (Knack), as well as titles from our partners such as Activision/Bungie (Destiny), Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo III), Capcom (Deep Down), and Ubisoft (Watch_Dogs). PlayStation also reinforced its commitment to self-publishing and the independent development community by having Jonathan Blow onstage who gave a sneak peek of his upcoming title The Witness. Finally, the incredible minds at Media Molecule and Quantic Dream gave glimpses of their conceptualization process and the future of gameplay with some remarkable footage. We only scratched the surface at the event, and will have many more exciting titles to come.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:
  • - Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor
  • - Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation
  • - L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction
  • - A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus

You can see more images of the new DUALSHOCK 4 controller here.

Sony London's game may be a new game, too... though with it being an AAA third-person title, it could very easily be a new installment in The Getaway series.

That would be pretty cool... I'd definitely be up for a new Getaway game!

^^^ yeah I saw the reviews and they were good. Played part 1 and 2, really enjoyed them. Not many games to choose from at the moment. Bound by Flames looks interesting too, $50 ain't bad but I'll wait for a price drop.

Bound by flames is getting mixed reviews, CoD: Ghosts I have for PS3, Not into sports games, Haven't played A Need for Speed game since Carbon on PS3. Not too many games to choose from. Looking forward to Dying Light, The Order 1886, Arkham Knight, The Division and Watch Dogs.

I'm betting Dying Light and Watch Dogs are both going to be very good for the PS4. :scat:

Media Molecule's new game, Guerilla's RPG, The Last Guardian, Quantic Dream's new game, The Order... those are all new IPs. Hell, even Syphon Filter has been gone for so long that it'd practically feel like a new IP.

Are people still holding out for The Last guardian?The order is a new Ip that looks visually amazing,but wasn't well received by Colin Moriarty. Syphone filter would be something worth bringing back back, but don't think it would get over to well with current gamers.

Guerrilla makes awesome looking games as well, but they rarely ever have good story or likable characters.And chances are the Media Molecule game is going to be on the Vita.

I would love to see the price tag on Morpheus ,though.

Yes, since their previous 2 games were magical.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are in a league of their own. Now imagine a new game from the same studio with all the benefits of today's features, textures, graphical benefits, ai etc and your set for yet another out of this world game.

I would love to see The Last Guardian finally get released, just as anticipated I am of seeing "Rime"

And I hope Nintendo get their act together and just sell their IP and go multiplatform. That would take them out of the slum in which they are sitting for the last couple of years.

Let's face it, they don't have the fanbase anymore which is tired of waiting for the next big thing, tired of waiting for a steady, easy to use network connection and triple a games on a console which is on part with the competition.

Years ago Nintendo was the standard for platforming genius, now they have crumbled to casualgaming in which the true gamer neglects them and doesn't get or want to play their magical titles due to their decisions of hardware.

Only one could hope and I strongly believe that is the way they should go.

Wouldn't that kick ass to play a Zelda game on the PS4? Or a new Mario64?

Oh, dreams....

Your just talking crazy now,lol.Nintendo will be Nintendo until the death of them.The hopes of seeing their games on real next gen consoles is but a dream.there is a better chance for half life 3 and other game myths.

As far as shadow of the colossus and Ico go, i tried both and they were really boring to me.i don't understand the appeal of those games at all.so if the last Guardian never get's made it wouldn't hurt me a bit.But if Sony did some legend of Dragoon stuff :scat:

That's a little too Rich for my blood Compadre, can't see myself paying that much for 2 or 3 hours of play time and that's every other day. I have 7.1 Surround sound but just need headphones for some late night gaming when Baby is sleeping :D
