Next, we got to see some of Ubisoft's stuff. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Apparently, you can play as a character from Assassin's creed: Liberation as a PS4 exclusive character, Don't you love exclusives? (Shush, fans. Everyone has their exclusives, so stop whining about who has more. What are we, children?) For the most part, the gameplay of AC4 was just the protagonist walking. There was some sneaking, and a little bit of murder. The action was nice when it picked up, though. The visuals are great, as has become a staple in the modern gaming world.
Next game: Watchdogs. This is an interesting one. The protagonist can hack into just about every piece of techology, and you'll want to, considering all of the police activity in this game. It looks like an incredibly interesting take on the idea of Hacking. Then some sports stuff, and next we have the Elder Scrolls online! You know oblivion, Skyrim, those games, right? Well, now it's online! Not sure if that's a surprise, but there you go. PS4 owners will have access to a beta of the elder scrolls online, as well. After a strange clip of what is supposed to be a game called Mad Max.Not sure exactly what it was, or who, but it did look pretty cool, as little as they gave us.
Next, Playstation got to the real mudslinging. These guys really ran at Microsoft. They blatantly showed off that you will be able to trade, buy, and sell used games as easily as giving them by hand. And the whole time the crowd was cheering about hearing this, you could hear the presenter chuckling on stage. He was literally saying to himself “Take a look, Microsoft. We just won over tons of gamers by doing what you didn't.†He was thinking either that, or “Good thing we made those last minute changes! If we'd had that same system, Nintendo might be able to make a comeback!†Then again, Nintendo is off in their own little world, smoking fire flowers and having a merry little time, so I doubt too many people are worried about them. PS4 games don't need to connect for authentication, so you don't have to connect every 24 hours. They were throwing proverbial mud at Microsoft yet again. I did find one minor problem, though. In order to play online multiplayer on a game, you need to have Playstation plus, which you need to pay for. I don't like the idea, honestly. But, when you compare it to all the other things you're being charged for with Microsoft, it's not really that bad. Then came a game that had me wanting to jump into shooters for the first time ever. It was the world premiere of a game called Destiny, which looked awesome! The gameplay looked interesting, the environment made me want to explore, and yet there was still the shooting. Wouldn't be called a shooter if it didn't have shooting, right?
Then came some things about the cloud service that didn't concern me. To finish things off there was the price! $399! why is this so mind blowing? Well, after all of the things they showed, plus the lack of restrictions, it's surprising that it was $100 cheaper than the Xbox One. This is probably what caught people's attention more than anything else. People were thinking it was going to be more expensive than the Xbox, but were quickly reassured. I'll admit, I'm a sony fan. I've been one since the first playstation, but stopped around the PS3, and I intend to pick up the PS4 this Holiday. Which will you choose? Will you take the Xbox One? Or will you throw your money at Sony for the PS4? If you have enough money, you can always buy both! Either way, both are good gaming consoles with great games and good companies backing them up. In the end, there is always the option to have both. But, if people still insist on picking sides in this war, so be it. I'll grab me some popcorn, and sit back and smoke some fire flowers with Nintendo until the PS4 comes out. In the meantime, see you guys soon!
