Retro_Link Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 We don't have a Next-Gen thread, and I didn't want to split this across the Xbox/PS/Splinter Cell threads so... Yeah basically before this game there was absolutely nothing coming out in the second half of this year! Now we have some news on that!
Cube Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'm pretty sure that Beyond: Two Souls will be out in the second half of this year. I'm not ready to buy a new console this year, so if one is released, I'll build back and stick to PC releases before deciding which one(s) to get next year.
Murr Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I think i'll also be waiting a while before jumping onto the next gen console from either Sony or Microsoft. I've got the Wii-U and this year promises to hurt the finances with the number of games coming out. My back catalogue will take ages to finish too. So should be alright. Unless of course either console launches with a game of epic proportions that I need to play.
Retro_Link Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 I'm pretty much a year behind with my games anyway! :p Every time the N-E award for game of the year comes up I realise I haven't played any of that current years games! So yeah I too have more than enough to keep me going for a long time (Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Journey, Sonic Generations) and I still have to buy Uncharted 3, Infamous 2 a number of others, plus all the incredible games from the first half of this year! I can't see myself buying a PS4 anywhere near launch, though never say never I guess. It's funny, the industry keeps talking about how it now needs the new consoles now, but maybe the consumers still aren't ready. Industry is in a difficult place right now with the financial situation.
Cube Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Star Wars 1313 has a PS3 release date for later this year.
Captain Falcon Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Star Wars 1313 has a PS3 release date for later this year. Has that actually been confirmed? I mean, prior to that, no platform other than PC had been specified at all. The only thing we knew was that it was a UE3 game and therefore not completely out of touch with current machines in terms of the underlying rendering mechanics... the question was always whether they could keep up.
Cube Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 http://www.facebook.com/PlayStation.DE?ref=stream PlayStation's German Facebook page posted it.
Captain Falcon Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah, I just came across that after you said about the PS3 release. Nothing has come from Lucasarts though yet that's why I was unsure if was absolutely legit. Could this be a cross-gen title? Makes you wonder... I'm still not convinced the PS3 has the chops to run the game as we last saw it and that selection of images are mostly concept art, and stills from the previous demo that we know weren't running on PS3. I would love to be wrong as but as of right now, not everything adds up in my mind.
Rowan Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I agree with pretty much all of you, no where near ready for a new console as I'm still enjoying new games and backlog on PS3. Is there anyone that actually wants a new console this year? I've always wondered whether the Wii U sales might make Microsoft/Sony consider delaying to 2014.
Captain Falcon Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 And just as soon again, 1313 is back to not being confirmed for anything other than PC, unless they are trying to deny that one as well. Strange they use the word "inaccurate" though. It almost suggest there is a shred of truth to the original story if not quite how it was portrayed so either it is coming in 2013 but not to PS3, so PS4, or it is coming to PS3 but just not in 2013. They should have just left it as "we have not confirmed any platforms at this time" and had done. I'm guessng they are playing it by ear to see whether the PS4 will even launch this year, with recent speculation suggesting it will despite most previously expecting it arrive early in 2014, and whether they can even get it running on PS3 to a suitable standard.
