      The PS4 is the only system with a sensible name this time. Well, I guess 360 was kind of dumb already, and Nintendo's been screwy for a few generations already.

      I don't know what the PS1 had (and I don't feel like looking it up), but the PS2 launch lacked good games and the PS3 launch was abysmal on every front. I would hope this is the best one yet.

      As someone who sucks at games, but nonetheless enjoys them, I feel like I need to point out the fact that it is hard enough for me to focus on one screen without having to deal with any of this crap you suggest be connected to a smartphone, tablet, or vita. The Little Big Planet thing I agree with, but it would be too hard for me to keep up with multiple screens in the midst of any action whatsoever. Plus, what am I supposed to do with my phone when I need both hands on my controller? Put it on the couch armrest? Then I have to look away from the screen for multiple seconds, and I guarantee that I would knock it off at least twice every ten minutes. All that stuff about using a c\second screen to expand a UI is especially bullcrap. I have a 54" tv and a 24" monitor, why would I need a 3.5" phone screen, just put it in the primary UI. Also, I'm not a paranoid person, but isn't that animus stuff a little bit too Orwellian?

      SPORTS...I will use football as a example but it applies to others as well. There are some things that suffer greatly in sports games that next gen can clean up. FIRST...PHYSICS we need to move on with physics in game that can be genuine...next GAMEPLAY next gen needs to address and improve gameplay greatly. and lastly the EXPERIENCE the game in next gen needs to be compelling so that you want to continue to play especially in a league...SO a group of friends get together and want to form a league..Once the league name is picked and the number of owners are established a cap is established for each team, the system establishes a schedule and a draft day is scheduled...AH first issue...10 guys sitting in front of a console for hours picking players? No but this is next gen, you can be notified on phone or tablet that you pick next you can have the AI pick for you based on your earlier settings or you can be notified while your playing another game its your turn..problem solved. Now the scheduling...ah next problem. so.. week one jets at vikings one guy is on ready the other is not ok so the system sends the absent guy a message either via cellphone or on the console. it asks do you want the AI to play for you? How do you want to play it? conservative, all out? or do you want to schedule a time to play? either way games advance every three days or whatever league decides...problem solved. So your team is in the cellar and not playing well, fans are not coming to the games, the AI sends you a message via cellphone time to fire coach? your decision. Your team is playing well and making a playoff push but your star RB just went down, no need to panic enact a trade or free agent pick up via message on cell phone tablet email or console. weather reports for upcoming games come in via cell phone or console message so does injury reports or free agent add or drops and you can even watch highlights of games played so you can prepare your team for next weeks game. If your team makes the playoffs you level up, if you win it all you level up...with things like home field advantage, better field goal percentages, better prepared after practices and easier to add free agents. if you lose you can hire a new coach or gm or just try again. the stats are compiled by SAP and you have access to everything. you can add seats to your stadium, use different equipment such as cleats by under armour or jerseys by nike if you wish with money you earn by ads placed in your stadium or more fans coming to the game cause your team is good consistently. If the physics are life like and the gameplay is good...you have a reason to be always connected and a cause to pay more.

      I think I agree with some of the earlier posts,the things described are not really next level. But more reincarnations of existing themes and ideas. It is time to move on. More power better graphics should be a given but it is the experience that needs to be upgraded and freshed out. let us say there is a action adventure rpg. you have your typical choices when you first boot the game such as skin, abilities, gender, race. as you play through the game and you complete tasks you level up BUT...your leveling up and HOW you completed your tasks are being tracked and compiled in a database. SO for the multiplayer aspect of the game which is not mindless old tired deathmatch or CTF but story driven task completion..you can be recruited to form teams...so if you CHOOSE to add your information you can be sent video or text messages in game or via cell phone that a player is putting a team together and needs a sniper or a driver or a warlock etc. so that the multiplayer is online persistent and the completion of THOSE tasks level you up as a team and as a single player. So one multiplayer episodic content consist of three teams searching the ruins of africa for a relic which can change the fate of the world. the first team to complete the tasks gets new abilities, money(in game currency) and level up. so as a single player you get a video message of recruit pause your single player game, and join a team as a sniper and help complete the mission so now as a single player your a better sniper... you earned money and are eligible for next level episodic missions. your ps4 tag shows your level in game and you can be contacted for other missions via cell phone if you so choose. If these consoles are going to be connect to everything and games will cost more money give a REASON why a gamer will CHOOSE to buy in.

      That's good for Sony, but (and I'm sure they know this already) those aren't necessarily customers who are going to buy it no matter what. You can safely take at least a quarter of that 600,000 and then you may have a closer approximation of the number who will actually buy it. Still, it's good that people are interested.

      Half Life 2 Episode 1 release date. June 1st 2006. Half Life 2 Episode 2 release date. October 10th 2007. Half Life 2 Episode 3? Yeah, episodic content is great when it churns out regularly, but all too often it'll either drop in quality or just turn into a full blown game that'll have the development time of a Guns n Roses album consummating with Duke Nukem

      Closest I've seen to this (and it's not the same thing) is Dead Rising 2: Case 0... which was actually awful as a pilot, because it was fun and didn't have the same amount of bullshit as the real game.

      Even if I wasn't skeptical about information that comes from unnamed sources when "neither of whom works for EA or Microsoft.", I can't see EA exclusives lasting very long. The idea of them closing off an avenue of revenue is nearly as laughable as the idea of Activision supporting innovation! ;)

      Maybe if EA put out any games of reasonable note this would be news worthy. And anyway, for me, not being a day one buyer, even going so far as to wait for GOTY editions, I'm not really phased by this. For multiplayer games that EA might do, I have no interest in being harassed by 13 year olds, so getting new DLC as soon as it's out doesn't affect me either

      Seems like a reasonable price but does cloud-backwards-compatibility mean that I can play my old games as long as i'm online or does it mean that I can only play select Gaikai ps3 games.
