What would Sony have to announce to get your juices going?

[Amnesiac Pigeon]

The Last Guardian.

Day one purchase of the PS4 if that is where I can play it.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Transfer all you PS3 data (trophies, online name, etc.) to the PS4 no problem.

All former PS games, from PlayStation to PS3, will be able to be played with not problem. And I mean put the game in the actual system from the physical disc, not streaming. If there's a way to copy it from the disc to the system itself, I'll settle for that.

$300 at launch with no 'superior' version that works better and costs more.

I don't think any of those things will happen though, so I think I'm just going to sigh and go back to playing my old systems for a while.

 

[Souleks]

New MediEvil
New Twisted Metal

I wouldn't even care if you couldn't sell used games at that point.

 

[NoeL]

I've never really been into Sony. I decent controller would be a good start.

 

[Yopaz]

I don't get the problem with social media on a console, if you don't like it, don't use. Judging by how big it is someone likes it and I see no reason to take that away from those people just because I wont even consider using it myself.

OT: Tales of Symphonia with some improvements along with another two Tales of games and I think I would buy it. I did buy ps3 because of Tales of Graces after all...

 

[Joccaren]

Hardware wise:
16Gb RAM, Equivilent of i5 3730 processor, equivalent of 670GTX, 512Gb SSD and CLC liquid cooling, for cheaper than it'd cost me to upgrade my PC to that level [$360].

Peripheral wise:
Keyboard and Mouse as a fully functional control scheme.
Flight Sticks
OR
Full on virtual reality

Exclusives:
A great Strategy game or old-school RPG. Don't care about shooters or action games, way too oversaturated in them as is.

Odds of it happening?
Absolutely 0. This is why I'll stick to my PC, sorry Sony and Microsoft.

 

[Auron225]

PS4;

A crapload more powerful than the PS3
Backwards compatibility with PS3
Large collection of games ready to be released with it
Maintain free online play
£150-200

Yes I know that will never happen (especially the price) but you wanted to know what would get ME excited. I'm not anticipating excitement, if that makes sense.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Game-wise, I'd like to see:
A new MediEvil game. Hopefully without the "Kiddification" the remake suffered.
Launch titles which don't suck ass

EDIT: Also, a new Monster Hunter!

Console-wise, I'd like to see:
Backwards compatibility for my PS3 games (if they can go back further then I won't argue)
The ability to transfer games bought on PSN to the PS4

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

A 400 USD starting price, the Last Guardian as a launch title, a more durable and heavier controller (larger would be nice as well), backwards compatibility and some other nice exclusives.

If it had those things I'd take out a loan to buy it day one

 

[octafish]

They are releasing thatgamecompany's back catalogue on PC. That's about the only thing Sony can do that will interest me.

That or bring the release date for their new console forward so devs can make games for a system that has more RAM than my phone.

 

[FFP2]

-Still have free multiplayer.
-Get MGS and FF back as exclusives.
-No "always online" bullshit.
-Backwards compatability. I know that this won't work because of how stupid the PS3 innards are but still.
-Them showing an open world game that doesn't perform like ass.
-Them dropping the Wii ripoff.

I'm probably gonna get a PS4 regardless of the above purely because I like their exclusives and Japanese games tend to favour Sony.

Can't imagine why...

 

[ScruffyMcBalls]

Onimusha as a launch title (or released in the launch window) so long as it assumed Dawn of Dreams never happened. But most importantly, just don't force an "always online" internet connection or lock out used games. So long as they get those two hardware specs right the rest will fall into place.

Oh, for an added bonus, it'd be cool if they started using the Japanese Sony mascots world wide. Why? Because they're fucking cats. That's why.

 

[mysecondlife]

A really big franchise game coming to PSVita as exclusive would take me by surprise.

Like hoping that MGSV is actually MGSVita.

As for PS4, I see myself buying it within years. I like their exclusives and its controller doesn't seem to be way outside my comfort zone that I have with DS3.

 

[SecondPrize]

All I'm really expecting out of the new consoles are better specs. I don't care about innovative control systems or radical new whatevers, just put out a system with better specs than you have now and let developers get to work on making what they can out of it. I guess it should be said, in light of last time, that a healthy launch library would be a good idea.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

If they bring back Gex, Medieval, and another new Sly game I'd probably be sold in an instant.

 

[Strazdas]

I thought hard about it and i dont think thats possible.

A crapload more powerful than the PS3
Backwards compatibility with PS3

Please pick one. you cant have both. you can have a powerful PS4, or you can have a PS4 that is compactible with PS3 design and continues the tradition of being awful platform to work on.

I suppose that's what happens when you ask a console question on a site where 65% of people said that the PC was their gaming platform of choice (though that survey was 3 years old).

well, consoles, for the high market share they have, are completely obsolete for any decent task by now.
