Sony also said that PS4 will require Play Station Plus to run online.

But they've reduced the cost to 5$ a month, plus monthly free games.

Which is fine by me.

EDIT: When is Nintendo's Press Conference?

Yeah Sony isn't making online mandatory, which is the important thing here.

It's a better deal then anything Microsoft can or ever will offer

Fanboyism be damned, Sony wins.

Anywho. E3 is about games! I love games! They had a ton! Copypasta'ing some thoughts from elsewhere:

Let's seeeee...

HOLYFUCK YES NEW KINGDOM HEARTS. LOVING Game Informer's article headline for it: "Kingdom Hearts III FINALLY Announced." Haha it's great. [Called this one the minute it was shown in the introductory video of Sony's conference.]

There's. A new. BATTLEFRONT!! Wish we got gameplay of that, but knowing the timeline of things, I know that wouldn't have been possible.

AC4 still looks great. And it occurred to me during the Sony conference gameplay that Edward is just NOT a good person. At all. So it'll be really interesting to be playing from such a different perspective in an Assassin's Creed game.

Herpderp Halo 5 herpderp. Gotta love that.

Titanfall? Yep... mechs are awesome. I kinda dig it.

I keep looking at Destiny and thinking "so... it's still Halo?" Even though I know it's not. It's just not grabbing my attention as much as I'd hoped. :/

How did I forget about Watch Dogs... more videos to watch... Aaand.... That looks fucking great!

Elder Scrolls Online coming to consoles?! Yesssss! Hope they pull a Defiance and have them all connected cross-platform!

And finally, love me some Trials.

Soo yeah. For games? It was an awesome day for everyone. Really was. Can't wait to see Nintendo's reveals tomorrow.

Absolutely brilliant!

So apparently, I'm the only one that gives a damn about Transistor:

Looks real interesting.

The console wars are over, Microsoft has lost!!!!

It is so sad that Sony had to state the obvious about used games and no internet restrictions, but whatever, way to go Sony.



The conference was full of surprised and fantastic. I was ready to rage though when they started to talk about movies and tv series, but they didn't talk about it long and even their sports talk was very quick. They didn't beat around the bush, told us what we wanted to know, showed us some amazing games (the Indie games look awesome, and I am curious about The Order), especially the new stuff on Watch_Dogs. I was actually even impressed with Destiny even though I'll probably never play it since it is an MMO.

Jack Trenton is the man and friggin awesome!! His facial reactions for when everyone cheered about the clarity of no restrictions was awesome and you could tell he was having fun with it. I loved how they stressed through the entire conference that this is a machine for gamers. Once again, Sony has won the war before it even started. Even the $400 is not bad. Now, when is Gamestop going to start taking preorders?

Oh, the console is also small as hell for a launch console and:

I think the only real downside I'm seeing with the PS4 is a PS Plus subscription being necessary for online play. That's not too bad though, seeing as I never play online and PS Plus isn't a bad service for the price. All of this trash talk is golden though.
I hope Nintendo has some good things in store beyond "We didn't make the Xbox One".

Mirror's Edge 2 is probably my favorite announcement, and I'm more than willing to wait for it if it means a superior game. The first game was one of my absolute favorites, so the more the merrier.

Welp, preordered the PS4. Might not keep the preorder depending on what the launch games are, but Elder Scrolls Online? $400? Sold.

I'm not a console wars guy(own both, use both) but the Xbone is really going to have to offer me more than their usual exclusive franchises to put up with their weird restrictions and technical demands, not to mention their higher price.
