Has there been an official list of launch games revealed? I've got the launch day console preordered and now I want to know which few games to get along with it.

I would expect that anything you see offered in a launch bundle is a launch game. But we're not gonna get a launch list until we get a release date for the console.

That's true. But the main question is whether or not everyone who has pre-ordered a PS4 will actually get theirs on time or a few days after. It really comes down to the demands of the people and whether or not they want one.

As far as the games go, I'm disappointed that Diablo III isn't going to be one of the launch titles (yet), but I hope it is. Would love to try that out on the PS4 soon!

I haven't been this excited in years! XD

yeah, I know GS is still taking preorders through its site but no clue if they have any idea how many they will actually get from Sony by launch.

I tried getting into Diablo 3 a couple times. It's just so mindless.

To those who preordered through Amazon, you should be getting a confirmation e-mail as to which you will be getting, Launch edition or stardard aka (screwed :P ) edition. 

Nice IGN write-up of Knack. As I've said many times I think its important the the industry offer up a steady stream of games like Knack and Project Spark in order to keep kids interested in console gaming. Otherwise, there is a real danger the game industry could go the way of the comic book industry (think not only an aging, limited audience, but creative stagnation).

Agreed I'm just not crazy about the art style and collor pallete. In every shot I have seen of Knack, the color pallete looks very washed out and bland. Would have preferred something more colorful like Jack and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank or Sly Cooper. Ratchet looks better to me even if it's not going to be as technically impressive. 

Not that Spark was a looker  but it's more interesting from a gameplay perspective. Just disappointed in RARE not having anything to show in the platform/adventure area and Nintendo's new Mario doesn't get me excited either. Sonic TLW is leading the race right now. As much as I'm not crazy about how it will probably play, at least in terms of appeal, it's above and beyond these other ones.

Yeah, Knack hasn't blown me away visually but I like what I've seen of the game. With the Ratchet series dead the world needs another kid friendly action platfromer. I tend to enjoy games where the protagonist grows as he absorbs bits of the environment (Katamari Damancy and Tales from Space Mutant Blobs Attack spring to mind) so that what was once an insurmountable obstacle becomes a bite size morsel. Cerny mentioned in an interview how Knack climbs buildings when he is small but knocks them over Godzilla style when he is supersized.

As for Spark, I'm a big fan of user generated content, so I think it is very exciting given the power and flexibility of the tools. I recently wrote a long post about GS's stage demo of Spark in the Xbone thread.

I played Katamari and though it was fun but it couldn't keep my interst long enough to advance. I get what you're saying though. And yeah I read your post. It sounds great.

Some good points there.

Here's a high-rez screenshot taken from the in-engine demo of The Order (insane level of detail). The lead developer hasn't said much about the game itself, but he has stated that it won't use upgraded models or FMV for cinemas so this will be what we get in-game. We know The Order mixes steampunk with werewolves, but I'm also hoping the Cthulu mythos is mixed in.

get rid of the sideburns and he kinda reminds me of Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. That's some nice detail if they can make the gameplay look like that. Great skin texture.

I watched the E3 on stage demo of The Evil Within and it looks like a winner. Scary as well yet thrilling.F1Lengend

Does it contain any interesting new details?

I wasn't too interested in Knack, but I played it a bit yesterday and it was kinda fun in a throwback sort of way. They also have realtime reflections everywhere, which is pretty cool. From the looks of it I think they're voxelizing and cone-tracing to do the reflections.

I had no interest in the Infamous franchise, but 2nd Sun definitely caught my eye.

The developer behind Dayz is interested in putting it on the PS4 once he gets the PC version squared away.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-13-dean-hall-in-talks-to-bring-dayz-standalone-to-ps4

When I asked Hall whether console manufacturers Sony and Microsoft had approached him about putting DayZ on an upcoming console he replied, "Yeah, we talked to both of them. But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates."

"What about Sony, then?" I asked.

"Oh, absolutely. We like them. I like what I saw on the PS4," Hall said. "I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well. I'm not s***ting on them. I'm kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I'm being a bit naive."

I know it's fashionable to hate Gamestop, but for those of you that still want to get on to the day 1 one launch, many gamestop stores have been authorized to take additional day 1 preorders as of thursday morning. Just found this out tonight at the TLoU midnight and nabbed myself one. Apparently they're authorized to take a lot more PS4 orders than X1 orders for some reason. Anyway, just a heads up for those of you like me that might have walked into a GS lately and found yourself too late.

Was really excited to see the price $100 cheaper than the Xbox. I ended up selling my 360 & kept the PS3 because of the better exclusives (IMO). I'm in line for a normal pre-order of the PS4. Happy to suport a gaming console that listens to it's gamers. 

Its time for me to upgrade my TV, Thinking about getting a 4k TV but new tech is insanely pricey. I might have to wait until next summer when the prices are a bit more reasonable. Too many games coming out this fall getting on the way. 

Not surprised about GS taking more preorders for PS4 given MS' policy. Demand for PS4 is going to be damn high it seems.
