Allein wegen dem Setting bin ich immer noch sehr am Spiel interessiert.
Allerdings sehr unentschlossen ob ich es mir hole. Die e3 muss einfach richtig fetzen und bock auf das Spiel machen.

Sony recently held its corporate strategy meeting in Tokyo, explaining the future moves planned by the publisher to exploit the PlayStation brand and make it as profitable as possible. The company’s CEO Kaz Hirai talked at length about PlayStation 4, PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now and more.
One of the most interesting points was made during the Q&A Session, as Hirai-san explained that the PSN and PlayStation Plus are going to “grow hugely,” so this year is the right time to invest in building up their infrastructure:
For PlayStation Plus and the PlayStation Network Business in General, but also the video and music businesses and the networking in those areas, the market there is going to grow hugely, but at the same time as we see the growth of the business, we have to be prepared with a solid enough network infrastructure. We have to be able to accommodate the increase in subscribers by having a solid enough network system and infrastructure and therefore we believe that now is the time of investment, so that when we see a growth in subscribers we can still maintain the network business, so this year is the time when we have to invest in infrastructure building.
Hirai-san also mentioned that Sony needs to change its mindset on the business models related to PlayStation in order to offer new experiences:
New Experiences for the user is what we’re always aware of. [...] We’re saying that TV is going to be a totally different TV, and a different dimension. SCE is selling consoles now, but with PlayStation we need to rapidly change that business position, so we need to really transform that mindset. That’s what I tell people and what I tell myself. To change my mindset totally.
It’s worth mentioning that the original speech in Japanese talked about selling consoles and having to buy disks, but the second part was omitted by the English simultaneous translation.
During the opening speech Hirai-san explained the future PlayStation strategy in great detail, even if the numbers provided are the same we already heard in previous releases. Still, he made quite a few relevant points, that you can read in the full transcript below:
This fiscal year we are set to consolidate our leading position in the home console market by further expanding PS4 sales around the world. Following its introduction in North America in November 2013, in 5 months, PS4 has launched in 72 countries and regions achieving cumulative sell-through of 7 million units as of April 6. It’s been a hugely successful launch, but the key to the long term success of the platform lies in how solidly we can continue to grow the installed base. In terms of game titles for PS4, as of April 13, 47 titles had been launched with a total of 20.5 million units being sold via retailers and over the network on the PlayStation Store.
By extracting the best creativity from all of our partners in the game development community, PS4 has dramatically expanded the possibilities of game play. But at the same time, PS4 is also designed to provide the kinds of social experiences via the network that offer users a richer gaming experience than ever before. PS4’s remote play function also allows users to easily enjoy the PS4 experience on their PlayStation Vita, expanding the PS4 gaming experience beyond your living room, and making it available anytime, anywhere. From a profitability perspective, PS4 is also already contributing profit on a hardware unit basis, establishing a very different business framework from that of previous platform businesses.
The network functions that are possible with PS4 continue to evolve by the day.
Approximately half of PS4 users are registered to the PlayStation Plus subscription service, while the number of active users on the PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network exceeds 52 million worldwide. Many of our users now enjoy an array of game, music and video content via the network. And our PlayStation App for smartphones and tablets that lets players share their PS4 experience to their mobile devices, is also proving hugely popular, with the total number of downloads already exceeding 4.5 million. Sales from our network business including game, music and video services exceeded 200 billion yen in fiscal 2013, and we intend to further expand that figure going forward.
When I was telling you about our entertainment business earlier, I said that the shift in digital content delivery from downloads to streaming is only going to accelerate. In the case of game content, the data format is completely different from movies and other video content, so there needed to be a technological revolution before we could switch from distributing game content via downloads to streaming. But starting this summer, we will begin distributing PS3 games via streaming to our users in the U.S. on an open beta version of our new PlayStation Now streaming service, first for PS4 and then PS Vita. And that’s just the first step. Going forward, we will use streaming to deliver the PlayStation experience worldwide. We also plan to make PlayStation Now compatible with new “BRAVIA” LCD TVs to be launched in the U.S. market this year. And in the future, we intend to extend its availability to a wide range of networked devices.
So, as you can see, in the Game and Network business we are set to secure even greater sources of profit by further expanding our content, software and network services on the firm foundation of a platform business that continues to generate stable profit itself, and offer our customers even more new and exciting entertainment experiences. This year marks the 20th anniversary of PlayStation. The PS2 platform was the biggest success until now in terms of profit, but I believe that PS4’s hardware, software and services have the potential to combine and develop into a platform capable of generating even greater profit.
We’ll have to see if Sony will manage to turn its game business into a fully profitable self-sufficient entity, but I can’t help hoping that they won’t change their mindset from selling consoles and disc-based games too radically. PlayStation Now has potential and it’s a great accessory to the PlayStation brand, but I personally can’t see it becomeing the “main” PlayStation business, at least not for a long time.
It’s also interesting to see that Hirai-san intends to invest in strengthening the network infrastructure despite the company’s financial losses. If anyone had any doubt on Sony’s ability to expand and invest, this should tell them that the Japanese giant is more solid than some would like us to believe.
The Order: 1886 is an upcoming exclusive that has gotten a lot of hype recently after its recent gameplay footage was streamed on Twitch. Unfortunately, the poor quality of the footage certainly didn’t do the game any justice but it seems like the developers realize the demand for a higher quality video, and they plan to release them in the future.
First of all, Ready at Dawn’s Andrea Pessino addressed (Translated) some of the concerns of the fans regarding the Enemy AI, that we saw in the recent trailer, and how plot will be a strong point of the game along with the graphics.
Don’t worry about framerate, it was just a streaming issue, live it runs smoothly. As for the AI, in that scene where they are dragging the other guy, enemies are scripted to do just that in that very moment.
One of the strongest points (alongside graphics) will be the plot so…on that regard you can relax
Ready at Dawn’s Community Manager J Goldberg talked about the low quality stream on Twitch and ensured that they have plenty of time to release high quality videos. He also hyped up E3, perhaps for the expected The Order: 1886 stage demo, that has been rumored for a while now.
The stream portion is just something new. Sure, streaming quality wasn’t fantastic since it’s not a perfect technology, but there’s plenty of time to release full high quality videos down the road.
Now all aboard the hype train to E3!
The Order: 1886 latest trailer started another silly debate about the game being “downgraded”, which actually isn’t the case, as per the comments made by the developer. In any case, people shouldn’t be quick to jump to conclusion without having to see proper quality gameplay footage.

sollte mk8 nicht in 1080p laufen? das hat man hier ein halbes jahr lang gelesen. jetzt sinds 720p mit starken kantenflimmer. mk8 geometrie ist sowieso schon sehr grob und simple getrickt, und da reicht nicht mehr für etwas aa? sehr schwach für eine hw aus 2012.
Ich habe das auch gelesen, aber komm schon. MK8 sieht wirklich ganz gut aus für die U-Hardware. Die Entwicklerteams können nicht zaubern und haben so ziemlich das Beste herausgeholt.
Bei der Wii U sollte es ohnehin nicht vordergründig um die Grafik gehen. Sicher sollte sie gut aussehen, auch bei Zelda, Bayo und "x", aber eine 1080/60 Debatte sollte man nicht führen. Es reicht schon das zwischen der X1 und der PS4 hin und her gebitched wird, was das betrifft. :v:
Dich als alten Nintendo-Fan ärgern solche Aussagen natürlich :v:
Sobald die One für 199-250€ zu haben ist, ist sie mein. Full HD brauche ich nicht zwingend.
Wie der Bond schon ganz scharf auf die Nintendo Spiele ist :rox: :v:
Ich finde ja eher das Englisch, was der verwendet, lächerlichNa klar und jeder auf der Welt hat eine PS4 und jeder zehnte eine zweite!

Na mal schauen wies in Zukunft mit der PS4 weitergehen wird. Im Moment läuft sie ja noch richtig gut, aber sowas kann nicht ewig ohne mehr Software anhalten (außer die Konsole ist ein Massenphänomen wie die Wii). Klar es gibt einige Multi titel dieses Jahr noch, aber ob auf Dauer wirklich das Auflösungskriterium die Leute dazu bringt eine PS4 statt eine Xbone zu kaufen? Vorallem wenn dann bald die Xbone ohne Kinect rauskommt die exakt genauso viel wie eine PS4 kostet. Imo muss Sony aufpassen und schleunigst mehr Exklusivtitel bringen. Driveclub und The Order in einem ganzen Jahr ist etwas mau, da muss Sony einfach die E3 rocken und zwar mit Neuankündigungen.
Damit will ich jetzt nicht sagen dass die PS4 ansonsten doomed ist sondern ich sehe nur die Gefahr dass die Hype Blase irgendwann mal platzt wenn die Leute evtl merken dass da nicht genug Auswahl für sie vorhanden ist...
