Sony : Paris Games Week press conference dated

So whatever happened to that random Dark Cloud mention? PS2 game coming to PS4? Remaster? Or, (please) a sequel?

I know it's the most unlikely thing, and that I'm like a handful of fans who care or even know what Dark Cloud is, but I would get sooo drunk if Dark Cloud 3 happened.
 
Quantic Dreams and sci fi? I'm not sure if i'll be ready for this
Well you likely will see tomorrow xD


I kind of hope Quantic Dream move away from the cinematic/QTE games.
Maybe they will in some ways, but the cinematic is definitely here to stay.


I'm surprised the movie isn't directed by David Cage.
Yeah especially since he said he would not direct a movie as he is more interested in exploring interactivity.
 
I don't think it was to find out what we want, it was to find out what they should prioritise.

I don't disagree with that being the main reason for it, but I think that they know which ones should be the top of the list without even asking fans. PS1/PS2 classics, change PSN name, folders, and notifications for friends coming online would all be at the top.
 
Man I'll be working for this. I still can't decide whether to browse gaf at work while the announcements come in or wait until after work and watch it blind...shit!
 
When PS1/PS2 classics are eventually compatible on PS4, will the whole PS3 catalog be playable or will they start over again? I'd love to play Mega Man Legends.

The rumours suggest that they might be adding trophies this time round, suggesting that they'll start the catalogue over. Of course, it could be the case where they just turn around and dump the existing PS Classics catalogue and only add trophies to new games (or allow developers to update games in their own time), so who knows.
 
Why would you legitimately want that? There are thousands of other games in other genres that can give you what you're looking for if you're not into the games Quantic Dream makes.

I really enjoyed Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls but I would like to see what they're capable of in other genres in this era. Like trying to make a game more like Nomad Soul.

I'm just curious to see what Quantic Dream could do.

Maybe they could do it well, but you gotta realize they have been focussing on this genre for about 15 years now. Totally changing everything up would require a radically different approach to how they make games. Most likely they would need to massively overhaul their engine, pipeline and internal workflow. It would be a very challenging task for such a specialised studio, which optimized every step of the production for the type of game they make. I dont really see it happening in the foreseeable future, even if they are talented enough to make it happen. They found their nieche and seem happy there.

Thats not to say a more open ended world ala Omikron cant happen. I definitely could see something like that coming out from them still, just without traditional combat.

Oh right, I didn't think this through. Welp, it was just a (Quantic) Dream.

Anyway, I'm hoping for a sci-fi game then (remember Kara?)

So do you think Sony are involved with the Housemarque x Jarvis game? There hasn't really been any indication of that, and they've handled the reveal of them doing a game with Jarvis and seemingly this current unveiling of the documentary etc. by themselves. Also Alienation has yet to be released so I'm not sure Sony would reveal a new game from them yet.

On the other hand Sony has strong ties to Housemarque and them choosing PGW to do this seems quite convenient

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony

Dark Cloud 2 was a great game.

I'm assuming its apart of PS4 classics on PS2 reveal whenever that is
 
Any idea if the conference will be uploaded on Youtube to watch at a later time? Busy at work tomorrow, and just want to enjoy it with a beer in hand at the end of the day :p

Well, there was a DS4 in the video documentary, so we have that to go by.

Link to relevant thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=884174

KARA was magical, and would truly be a shame if something was not done in regards to making it a tangible product. That website was registered before the PS4 was released and the linked thread is relevant because of what the Singularity represents in term of the KARA video.

Oh okey, thought it was some newly siteregistration. But it seems like they updated the domain(?) five days ago.

This. They are one of a select few companies making this type of game...a type of game I LOVE

I am terrible with time zones and fearful I will miss the conference. If I live in New Orleans (central time zone) what time will the conference be?

Please forgive my ignorance.

Don't know for sure, but Sony and Housemarque are clearly tight -- ps3 exclusives, vita launch title, PS4 launch title and Day 1 PS+ entry... they made their name on Sony and I'm sure there is loyalty there to some degree. I doubt that'll change, but who knows.
