True, but this was merely the unveiling of the PS4. A lot of developers are holding out for E3 to show their stuff on the major stage. This was Sony's stage to shine on, not the developers. E3 will be all about the games. I looked at this as Sony's chance to hit the ground running early so they can really make it about the games at the big event later this year.
We just have to look at this announcement and unveiling as what platform Sony is giving us to enjoy the games to come on.
Yeah is was a PS4 EVENT. An event about the console Sony made called the PS4.
You ever heard of E3? I have a feeling the shiny new stuff will come out then. Thats where they'll show the console
Did Nintendo spill the beans on all of their titles at the Wii U unveiling? Or did they merely show what the console was capable of while showing a few games that assisted them throughout the process?
You're basing all of this judgement on the few titles they showed like those are the ONLY games that will be on the PS4 for the next decade of a lifeline it will have. They showed a handfull of games to give gamers something to anticipate on launch.
The games are important, but those few games shown aren't the ONLY games releasing for the console. You want Sony to show you everything they have for your personal decision making? The system doesn't even drop for over half a year. We don't know whats going to pop up between now and the holiday season. But we do know what the console will be capable of, and thats what the whole event was about.
You're not fully grasping what Im trying to say. I never believed Sony would show all of the games or give every single detail about the console and the unveiling. I know these are just launch games. I know there will be more than 2 or 3 games when the system launches. I just don't feel Sony has shown
WHY the majority of gamers should go out and buy their console based on what took place at the event.
Besides specs and graphics, why should the majority of gamers care about the PS4?
You bring up Nintendo. In 2011 when they unveiled the Wii U they showed mini games/videos/demos of how they will change the way gamers interacted with games through the gamepad. They showed all the different ways developers might utilize this device to enhance game play to make the games more immersive and fun. Did they show all the games? No, but hopefully they left consumers excited about the possibilities of new ways to play and experience video games.
The whole point of this event was to make consumers excited about the new PS4. Was Sony effective? In my opinion, no. Most gamers don't understand specs and don't care about shiny graphics.Sony expected consumers to be excited about graphics and specs when history has shown us graphics and hardware specs don't sell systems.
Did Sony show the average consumer any new or revolutionary ways to play games on relevant IP's?
I know all about E3 and that Sony will show games at that event. In my post I used myself as a placeholder for the average consumer. Sony has to impress me along with millions of other potential consumers why their product is worth their time.
Will Sony have fun and exclusive games on their system? Will Sony offer consumers new ways to play games on their favorite IPs? Will they deliver on all of their promises they made at the press event? Will the PS4 be affordable? These are things Sony must account for.Time will tell if they will, but if they hit their mark on these things I feel they will do GREAT.
