Martin Gaston has absolutely never at all had the song from Beauty and the Beast sung to him at any point during his life, ever.
well, the list was wrong still though......cause the old one included studios that are not only in Europe.....Capcom, BANDAI NAMCO, CC2, Tecmo Koei, Platinum Games....etc.....and those mostly have exclusives always for PS......so im still way calmed, cause they are my favs....
i am watching this in the highest possible resulution in the higest video quality and i am wondering WHERE ARE THE PIXELS
1 Like Martin Gaston i bet you made a party over this PS3 faulty announcement . Another Giant leap to nowhere right ?
1 Like Creative Assembly.. YES, Hopefully they make a Spartan like game.
Though I'm not bothered about the strategy game on console, I'm getting Rome 2 on PC even if it does go console, which it isn't.
3 Like I like the part about removing crap like Angry Birds and Minecraft and adding The Witcher 3 and Little Big Planet 3.
The lack of R* games in the list makes me believe that GTA V will be exclusive to current gen
@haze_blaze @IC3_C0LD_ZERO Isn't Rockstar North in Scottland? I think their publishing offices are in USA
I would assume there's a PS4 version of Need for Speed in development then, seeing Criterion appear on this list
A pretty good list. Never heard of most of the devs to get dropped so I'm not bothered.
1 Like Wait wait wait....so you mean to tell me that they padded the numbers of companies that have ps4 games in development? ....Not surprising Sony has done this before with Ps3.....dunno if everyone else has as long a memory as me......
3 Like @IanNottinghamX Not that it mattered in the long run.. Still the widest choice of AAA exclusives?
1 Like @DownHill911 @travo0159 Since when can Americans read and write. Thats how it should go.
6 Like @mcTPAXEP @travo0159 America IS the world.. didn't you get the memo? Europe is an island the size of a football field (by football I refer to the real meaning of the word), and Asia was destroyed in WW2.
Ask an American to draw a map of the world and it will probably come out looking like something from Art Attack.
@warhawk-geeby @mcTPAXEP @travo0159 Europe is an Island? LOL... The true is that USA people think that they are the only americans (north americans will be more acceptable), It's the only country in the continent (america) that thinks it's a country. You dont even know the name of any states. You must have an educational reform becouse you stand like stupid out there.
@warhawk-geeby
it was European who discovered America and conquered u Red indians and then establish it..
@darksonic140 @warhawk-geeby @mcTPAXEP @travo0159 thank god for overly sensative people, the internet would be so boring without folks like you, god bless.
@warhawk-geeby @mcTPAXEP @travo0159 I lol'd so hard, because we own America. America was nothing if we didn't show up sixhundred years ago. Keep your facts straight...
The list still doesn't somehow excite me.2K and Avalanche are the only two I'm looking forward to but otherwise I'm still not certain what the other studios will bring to the table.Every day I become more and more convinced that Sony's PS4 will be better than the Xbox 720 but Microsoft will certainly pull out better games and exclusives than the PS4.If this happens,I'll surely buy the Xbox 720 since the hardware is almost similar and the exclusive list will be the decider in more than one way.
@Samparksh In terms of exclusives .. Sony has the greatest hand hear .. ps3 exclusives was remarkable compared to exclusives of Xbox which most was arcade games except halo and gears of war .. Sony has little big planet .. god of war series , uncharted series .. GT series , heavy rain , last of us , .... etc .. all that cause Sony owns much more studios than Microsoft has
Still more than Microsoft that's for sure. But it don't matter... only the game does.
2 Like 30 developers thats 30 games so not too shabby right?
plus I dont know most those developers who have been dropped so ps4 didnt loss much right?
@steelmouth Same thoughts here, I did however read the bottom list and panicked when I saw Criterion Games.. I thought it had been removed. Thankfully not!
2 Like @MidNightStrikes
this is the list of European developers , atlus has works out of japan and north america
1 Like Now really a big deal. Sony will still have about 11 or 12 1st party studios making games as well. We only hope they get released at a reasonable time this time around. No more games taking 3-4 years and then not living up to the hype (cough GT5 cough). Where the hell is The Last Guardian?
3 Like I think it's scheduled for a PS5 release?
In all seriousness there's gonna be a pretty strong exclusive line up--just don't expect to see GT6 anytime soon.
1 Like @Devils-DIVISION @blackace yes after the ass dusting GT5 got, GT6 wont be showing its face any time soon
@The-Neon-Seal @Garudyne989 @shingui5 Yeah I know that, but that shouldn't be a factor in why people don't know them.
@Garudyne989 @shingui5 Their Japanese/American devs. This is a list of the devs based in Europe working for them. It isn't exhaustive.
so those are the EU ones or???........i guess, i still can be sure the japanese side like TECMO, Namco Bandai and Platinum games are still going to be on the list!
