Wonder if anyone saw the so-called "mysterious image" Sony tweeted yesterday...



Well today IGN posted another one....



...with Sony's tweet references Insomniac Games - developer of Ratchet and Clank, Resistance and the newly-announced Sunset Overdrive for Xbox One.

New R & C game perhaps?

Looks like an image from J&D, but it is Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus for PS3....

Would love a new R&C game, but the tagline "When Worlds Collide" makes it sound like a crossover game with two IPs.

It's probably _________ and Sonic. It's always Sonic.

Come on R&C and J&D kart racer!!!

I was going to post that Amazon was still taking preorders for launch day bundles, but it looks like they've stopped. I had already preordered a PS4 at Best Buy the day after Sony's conference at E3, but got in on the 20% off Amazon GCs sale at Meijer last week and just preordered the Knack bundle yesterday. Hoping that comes through, but I guess I'll keep the BB order as well for now, just to be safe.

Oh cool, a Stargate game.

Here you go....

PS4 Vs. Xbox One: All PS4 Bundles Sold Out At Amazon

Two days ago we reported the standard PS4 edition has been sold out at GameStop website as the “unlimited” supply has seemingly run dry. Now Amazon is following the same path. As the second major retailer to have five out of six total PlayStation 4 PS4 pre-order bundles load completely sold out. However, there is a the standard edition that is currently available to pre-order. If you haven’t place yours yet, act quickly before it gets sold out too.

The “Battlefield 4″ and “Killzone: Shadow Fall” with the same $10 off annual discount on PS Plus is also sold out. Including ”Knack” PS4 bundle and PS4 “Watch_Dogs” bundle being sold out too. Not only that, but the PS4 Launch Edition seem’s to be facing the same path as-well.

...and I just checked Amazon...yep...all bundles sold out

Per IGN, you will be able to access your digital library from other PS4's. Very cool.

Ratchet & Clank:

Not a PS4 game, but as I noted in the new thread for the game, it's great to see Sony continue to support the PS3 with AAA exclusive content even as they launch a new console. It's a real contrast to what MS has done with both of their consoles.

2013 PS3 exclusives:

God of War Ascension
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
Last of Us
Beyond: Two Souls
Rain
Gran Turismo 6
Dragon's Crown (Vanillaware)
Puppeteer
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus

That's a pretty impressive lineup in any year, much less a year that they're launching a new console. In contrast, the 360 is a wasteland in terms of 2013 exclusives. There was a Gears in March, and that's about it. It's also worth noting that very few of the developers for the games above has announced games for PS4 yet, but you can bet they are working on something.

I'll admit, Sony has had a fantastic year with exclusives. If they can repeat in 2014 with PS4, it's going to be hard for Microsoft to regain that ground. Especially with the $100 price difference. I'm sure Titanfall, Quantum Break, and Halo 5 will sell some systems though.

I really don't think Titanfall will be an exclusive for more than 6 months.

Speaking of exclusives...IGN has a through hands on with Killzone:Shadowfall and seemed impressed with it.

...and These Are Killzone: Shadow Fall’s Pre-Order Perks

Killzone: Shadow Fall is undoubtedly PlayStation 4’s most-anticipated exclusive launch title, and today, Sony revealed what gamers who pre-order it can expect to receive in return.

The Shadow Pack gives players three exclusive skins for OWL, your robotic companion. You’ll also get a multiplayer “Spotlight” move, which is a “special victory move” used during online combat. And finally, you’ll get a copy of the game’s soundtrack.

at listing the worthless digital crap before the soundtrack.

I haven't looked to see if the confirmed day one launch titles have changed, but here is what I had posted elsewhere: Those in blue are Exclusive to PS4

I haven't pre-ordered any games for the PS4 yet, will be checking out some free versions and demos prior.

Also waiting for more info on non-exclusive system games to see if one version is better than another


Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty: Ghosts
DC Universe Online (Free to Play)
DriveClub (Free to Play PS+ Edition also available)
Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack
Madden NFL 25 - very low interest
NBA 2K14 - very low interest
NBA Live 14 - very low interest
PlanetSide 2 (Free to Play)
Warframe (Free to Play)
Watch Dogs - High Interest

The only Exclusives on Day One that I am interested in right now, are the Free to Play ones...

I don't think I really ever played Killzone (I bought KZ3 HE and KZ2, but don't remember playing them), so that might become an exclusive I get very interested in

Is it worth getting the trilogy now?

After seeing the latest in game footage of Assassins Creed Black Flag, I'm going seriously look at that one...WOW!

This gameplay video for Killzone Shadow Fall looks awesome.

Dammit...! so is it worth getting the trilogy now, or just skipping it and getting this for PS4?

uh oh... Someone I know isn't going to like having to hit a button to use a ladder....

I didn't know Planetside 2 is a launch title, and free? Can't wait to check that one out.

FWIW, I thought the prior Killzone games so far were not very good. Clunky controls, the people and weapons felt very heavy, and the game just wasn't that fun to play. 2 and 3 were pretty games though. If you want to try it out for cheap, Target has Killzone 3 on sale for $5.99 this week.

That is a very wet sandbox game!

Yep...at launch, optimized, free to play, and exclusive. You might want to buy some guns or perks, but they are all earnable in-game if you're patient. There's some discussion of all the PS4 free to play games in the free to play thread.

Warframe also looks terrific if you like co-op.
