There was a lot of content coming out of the PlayStation Experience today and it was very exciting. Before I get to the mass YouTube links to all the trailers and teasers, I’m just going to say that there was not trace of The Last Guardian if you were looking forward for that.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End made a game play debut. The video on YouTube cuts the part where the player makes an oopsie and clips off the map, but I think this is a nice step away from scripted game play shown in other conferences. In my opinion, what happened to be a mistake in the game play debut is much better than the awkward acting of playing a game on stage.
MLB 15 The Show came up next featuring LA Dodgers Puig at bat unfortunately getting a home run off of SF Giant’s Lopez… Giant’s supporter here and I think MadBum should have been featured. Just saying.
Bloodborne game play footage made me ecstatic. I really want to get my hands on some sort of beta for this.
Ultra Street Fighter IV announced for the PS4. I mean what other game was Capcom going to announce for the PS4 that is a fighting game. I’m really glad they responded the way they did with Adam Boyes commenting on the leaks this week.
Killing Floor 2 kill things with things! If you just want to mow down hordes of zombie monster things with a team of other players.
The Forest A survival horror game where you try to live and survive in a forest where mutant creatures are after you.
Orcs Must Die! Unchained A tower defense and fortress siege game where you are either defending your fortress or attacking one with your own army
Darkest Dungeon a turn based gothic RPG game
Bastion the isometric action RPG with an awesome narrator making its way to PS4 and Vita
Skytorn an 8-bit roguelike game where you traverse floating islands and fight what lies in them.
Severed I know nothing about this game, so take a quote from the PlayStation blog: “you take control of a one-armed heroine wielding a living sword.” Sounds fun and looks that way too.
Shovel Knight featuring Kratos! I absolutely love this game and glad to see that it’s coming to PS4 and PS3 especially with that Kratos cameo.
Capcom enters the stage again but this time debuting the totally not leaked earlier this week with Street Fighter V and some awesome game play footage that’s not the final version yet.
More games to look forward to for PlayStation
Enter the Gungeon and that’s not a typo. You’ve got a gun and you’re in a dungeon. Gungeon.
Wattam I have no clue what this even was. The developer was also nervous on stage fidgeting with a fork. I’ll be looking more into this.
Until Dawn during the show, it seemed like there was a form of audience interaction. I really hope they do the “your chocie matter” approach well.
Final Fantasy VII (it’s the updated PC version being ported to PS4 because we haven’t had enough the game yet)
Drawn to Death (it’s pre-alpha, but it’s coming from David Jaffe and the studio Bartlet Jones)
Gang Beasts This looks like it could be couch co-op.
Overall, I’m quite happy with the entire show. They do have a lot of indie titles I’ve already seen via PC gaming, but to see them enter the console market to those who don’t game on a PC is thrilling. This opens up a wider audience for game developers and allows for more console gamers to share their gaming experience with those on PC.
I’m glad to see further support for the PS Vita as the handheld hasn’t had any light recently and makes me love my Vita even more.
Seeing David Jaffe on stage talking about Drawn to Death was especially exciting for me because it was God of War that really rocked my world when I got it for the PS2. Taking an approach towards an arena shooter with the Bartlet Jones studio delights me even though it appears to be pre-alpha. I’ll be looking forward for this game.
I’m eager to see what else is left in store at Sony’s PlayStation Experience.
Cheers!
