So, the other night while I was relaxing and recuperating from nonsense, the Spike TV PS4 Launch Event was taking place and there were a few things announced that...you know have some bearing and importance on folks. From what I heard, it was nigh-unbearable to watch or, if you went in with low-expectations because Spike TV, it was merely trying to watch when it wasn't just...announcements or trailers. Which was a lot of the time! As usual, the correct choice proved to be simply sitting by the wayside and allowing the news to come to me, rather than going after it and wading through the dreck associated with it. Still, it did afford us -some- things that were rather interesting, so I should get into them a bit before we forget the event took place at all and move on with our lives.
Above is the teaser for the much-expected, but still appreciated Uncharted game for the Playstation 4, simply referred to as "Uncharted" at this point in time. Some are taking that as the end-all be-all title and insisting it's a reboot or something from a different character's perspective (since the voice-over is done by a different character) and to be fair, there could be something there. However, common sense just states that it will simply be revealed (likely at the Spike VGAs....or VGXs? They're changing the name for some reason) as Uncharted 4: Subtitle goes here and be that. Given the context of the teaser, I have my own little pet theories about what's going to go on in the game and what it's going to be called, but I'll keep them to myself for now because it's a bit early to be going off on wild tangents about what it could be from a minute or so of voice-work.
That's pretty much all we get of Uncharted 4. Just that clip. For now. Again, hopefully come December we'll get a shiny new trailer like we usually do during the VG
There was an announcement for some PS3 news in the form of The Last of Us Story DLC, called "Left Behind". It's one of the pieces of DLC included in the Season Pass if you bought that, like I did because I am a whore. I, uh...I didn't look into it beyond that. Because I still haven't played The Last of Us yet.
....stop looking at me like that. Stop judging me. I know TLoU is going to attack my feels and I need to build up a tolerance to that, especially with how down I was for those months. You know which ones.
Another note of import is that inFamous: Second Son has a really real official release date of March 21st, 2014, rather than the date in February, whatever that was. This news was accompanied by the above trailer which shows off Delsin's Photokinesis in-depth...while confounding me on how it's actually supposed to be Photokinesis. It looks a lot like it's just their take on electricity alongside some (admittedly beautiful) neon effects and advanced maneuverability benefits. Which is fine by me! I'm honestly not complaining, I just didn't figure they would be able to make Photokinesis an actual offensive power, since it's just the control over light (in this case, neon lights), which I thought would be like a blinding flash type deal, meant to be used in conjunction with another power. Of course, I really don't know how power switching is going to work, so I guess it's best that it has offensive capabilities!
Everything in that trailer just reminds me that I am super happy that I pre-ordered the Limited Edition and that I'm going to get a PS4 for that game. I am -trying- with all my might to resist getting one before January because I just don't -need- one before then because I've literally got like 15 PS3 games I haven't even -started-, but the PS4 is so goddamn shiny and Remote Play sounds amazing and hnnnng. Still, they should be easier to come by in January/February, hopefully, and perhaps a patch will be out by then that fixes some of these annoying early problems people have been facing. I say all this because I pretend it makes me feel like I can resist the temptation. Like if the store I went to today actually had PS4s out and visible, I would've went "Heh, see you in January~"
The rest of the news was basically that TowerFall Ascension is coming to the PS4 as soon as its Ouya exclusivity expires (I think), Destiny's Beta launches on PS3 and PS4 first, and Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes is getting exclusive Nostalgia-based DLC on PS3 and PS4. All of those points, I could probably expound upon some, but I don't know a damn thing about TowerFall Ascension and I don't need to look into -another- PS4 indie at this point, I don't care about Destiny and I'm still very irked about the situation of the PS4 (and XBone) version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Since it means I will probably not be playing Ground Zeroes, which annoys me greatly. Still, that was all the news that came out and, well, it's not bad. Could've been a few more 'ground-breaking' things, but as it stands, nothing here is just 'eh', even if I don't particularly care about half of it.
I would have just straight-up bought a PS4 if I saw one, is what I was getting at
