what's up internet kept up with TLD here bringing you my thoughts on what Sony had to offer it this year's e3 conference now first off the thing that caught me off guard the most is the fact the ps4 has a price tag of only four hundred dollars which is a lot cheaper compared to the ps3 at launch and even if you compare it to a brand new ps3 today it's only a hundred dollars more though to be fair the current ps3's do come all bundled with games right now now while I didn't think it was a little unnecessary for them to go as in-depth as they did in regards to what Microsoft is doing with their new drm procedures on the Xbox one I do have to admit that it was very hard not to laugh at the giant grin on Jack Trenton's face as he was discussing how they're handling used games now while the specs on the release and the details of how the pendulum used games are very important still the biggest foremost concern is of course what games are going to be on it and we did get a healthy serving of titles that we already knew about as well as a couple new announcements that we've got to see and try out on the show floor now to begin with we did get some actual gameplay and more info on games we already know about for the ps3 like beyond two souls as well as further information on a lot of ps4 titles that were announced back at the console reveal including Killzone shadow fall driveclub and my personal favorite infamous second son which we did to get to see some actual gameplay of which showed it to be very stylistically similar to the original games but with the new spin on it with his powers involving smoke and fire instead of electricity now we also got a couple of new games announced for the ps4 that will be exclusive including the order which is a victorian-era steampunk style game where you're fighting werewolves as well as a new game from Quantic Dream called the dark sorcerer which looks to be a lot more comedy focused as opposed to their usual drama style now what I found interesting about their conference and their floor show is the fact that they emphasized a lot more multi-platform games and indie titles rather than their own exclusives multi-platform wise we saw gameplay for games like watch dogs Assassin's Creed for NBA 2k14 and we finally got to see some real gameplay of destiny instead of just having some vague trailers like before now there was also a number of games announced at the Sony conference that will be multi platform including the long-awaited reveal of Kingdom Hearts 3 as well as a new footage for final fantasy versus 13 which is now being rebranded as 15s I saw a very misdirecting trailer for Mad Max that looked an awful lot like fallout and completely out of nowhere it was revealed that elder scrolls online will be getting a console release including an exclusive beta for ps4 on the indie game side of things we saw a large number of different titles covering a large array of different styles which is Sony's way of showing they're trying to have a lot more support for the indie game movement and not relying solely on just big-name publishers one title in particular that I was really excited to see especially because the booth is being run by the actual design team was transistor from supergiant games the team behind Bastion which I'm a huge fan of now alongside these games we did also get a couple announcements in regards to the PlayStation Plus service which is getting a few tweaks for the ps4 first off anyone that's currently a member and gets a ps4 will have their membership move over there all is going to be offering a few games for the ps4 right away that'll limited versions for PlayStation Plus members the first which they announced will be driveclub now one thing they didn't try to sneak in about playstation plus is that they are adopting a model similar to what microsoft is doing with xbox live gold where you still get all the benefits that playstation plus had before but now it's also used as a requirement for playing online multiplayer games now what we're checking out Sony's exhibit at the floor show I got a chance to try out the controller which despite its appearance actually feels very familiar to the ps3 controller although I will say is a bit more comfortable in terms of its grips one thing that did get a little annoying for me although this just has to do with the fact that we haven't had time to adjust to it yet is the placement of the touchpad which I was constantly pushing when I was thinking I was trying to pause the game overall Sony had a lot less to say in terms of cults exclusives than I thought they would but the presentation overall was very solid thanks to a combination of the controller design third-party support and an absolutely astounding price point these factors together I'd have to say that my overall reaction is Sony this year is very positive and I have a lot more high hopes in terms of what we'll see in the coming years after launch so those are just my thoughts on what we saw from Sony at this year's e3 if you have yet to make sure check out my other vids for e3 coverage including my thoughts on the Xbox one if you have yet to do so
