PlayStation "Meeting 2013"

I miss you, Steve Jobs.

Hey look, it's Ru, I used to work for that guy.

Worst. Selling point. Ever.

Anyone else getting a $550+ price tag vibe from all this?

I'm glad they got all these developers together and got them to do their best Peter Molyneux impressions. We needed some comic relief to perk things up after Dave Perry put everyone to sleep.

eh? The WiiU Gamepad is wireless as well. There is a range limit though, but I would not be surprised if the Vita also has a range limit from the console.

Ah, I never followed the Wii U closely, I recall it was wired, my mistake.

Oh joy, Killzone, the series no one likes.

yea more kilzozzzzzzzz......snore

Killzone is a relevant franchise, and not just something Sony trots out whenever they need a tech demo.

Maybe if they wish hard enough I'll start believing them.

Oh, look it's killzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Jetlagger stole my brainwaves.

On the plus side, it's pretty. On the minus side, it's Killzone.

Welcome to the next gen - brown FPS for EVERYONE

It just doesn't look that much better than anything on the PC, and the gameplay looks completely derivative.

THIS ISN'T A SCRIPTED SEQUENCE, HONEST

And I'm glad to see that the next generation of shitty FPS still features an abundance of waist-high walls to keep you in the environment.

This is the prettiest boring trailer I've ever seen.

The smoke particle effects do look good.

Wow! Sony has distilled generic down to a fucking art form.

Dead silence. No applause.

I'd rate that Killzone trailer a "Slow Golf Clap"

Pretty sure everything they've shown is pre-rendered scripted stuff. Including the Knatch or whatever the spelling for that game is.

I know I have been QA for too long and I focus on details too much but


laser bent to go down the stairs

LASER BENT TO GO DOWN THE STAIRS

Killzone looks great, then game instantly reverts to your tired FPS formula.

Drive Club is a game you play with real clubs!

Someone be sure to verify that trademark registration date.

Great, more forced socialization. This time with cars.

So... the driving game has clans and clan tags then?

OH MAN, A SIM RACER WITH CALL OF DUTY'S MULTIPLAYER GRINDING

I mean, I know that I love the idea of giving buffs to the players that are already at an advantage in a multiplayer setting.

I want a photo-metric apparatus.

Actually, after the last Forza, I've come to think that "social car game" is a great idea.

Supposedly there was a guy controlling the game on stage.

Sweet jesus, I think he's going to climax talking about this game.

Not sure why they couldn't do drive club on any console already, except for rendering the driver.

The exquisite feeling of opening the door.

Breathing in the experience.

I kinda get the impression that there are people masturbating to this.

Only if the game comes with a patch of italian leather and screen instruct you to sniff the leather whenever you get into the car....

Busy racing? Yea, hold that thought, go browse some social menus!

Included in all packages. You heard it here first!

Means nothing. He could be standing there moving the buttons around while the video played. Even the Vita part could have been video of previous gameplay.

Scaring us with how much we are being monitored right after explaining how your new console lets other people watch you playing games remotely and is connected with every device with a screen is maybe not a great idea.
