A couple suggestions
Oh the members here are all against a chat box in favor of The Shack. I tried to close that and put up a shoutbox once and people raged. I'll consider the Planet Wisp one though, that's a great idea.

New default banner!

Nicely improved. Though I don't use the default skin, it's nice to see some change. Are you going to do the others, too? c:
Possibly. The only one I really want to do is the Blue Heroes banner. Not sure on any others yet.

New default banner!
So I felt the old banner needed to be redone as I made it a long time ago. I used the same theme/style but just updated it. What do you think?

Here are official hi res user interface screen shots. We saw a bit of this at the conference, what do you think? Personally I'm liking what I see, it's simple and a better design than the PS3 UI. It is kinda a lot like Facebook/social media sites. lol

Greetings from Planet Wisp!
Welcome to the forum! I never played Sonic Colors but I did play the remake of Planet Wisp in Sonic Generations and loved it which inspired me to create the Planet Wisp skin for this site. :D

Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royal
I'm excited about the level but the characters... Eh... Zeus and Isaac Clarke will probably play very well but they could have picked better ones from Sony's back catalog.

What would our policy be?
If by "our" you mean America, I'm pretty sure America's policy would be "Get off of our land, if you don't want to be American anymore!" I mean, secede if you want to, but don't try to steal land (Or buy, I... guess?) from the country on your way out. Go find somewhere different. If there's nowhere left, just become a citizen in another country that suits your needs better.

As for trade, I have no idea what such communities would do. They'd literally be dependent upon America for everything, whether it be simply allowing people to come to them for trade, or by using America as an intermediary. Ironic, considering that they're apparently doing this for independence.
You know one of the founding fathers said we need to have a revolution every 75 years because that's how long it can take before things become so bad they are irreversible. Things aren't terrible here but obviously to alot of people they aren't going the way they would like it and the people in charge aren't really doing squat and can they really change anything? There are things that simply can not be controlled. I ask, theoretically, what's so bad about revolution? I'm not saying now is the time but if things continue the way they are going and nothing improves.... I mean we know there is a lot of corruption in our government that will probably never be able to be eradicated.

He did reveal some interesting info:
-PS4 is 10x the power of previous generations
-Time it took previously(months) during development will now take days
-1080p 60fps is definitely possible and a focus
-More seamless world fully imagined by the developers
-Cross platoform, cloud gaming
-85 games down to 15 core games during the current generation, allowing a smoother transition
-100 million delta of expenses
-5-10% increase in dev cost
-Battlefield 4 confirmed for PS4

10x the power of the previous generation? While it did look really nice, the graphics just didn't seem as big as a leap like PS2/Gamecube/Xbox to 360/PS3. Course, launch titles tend to not push the system to its very limits till later on in its life.

I still refuse to believe Sony or Microsoft will block used games. With Nintendo already allowing it, it just simply won't work if two companies block it while another allow it(And I especially don't think Sony will.).
Plus those games aren't finalized and still have time to be finished and they started using dev kits only using 4gb of ram while now they have 8. DriveClub looked impressive though, it blew away GT5 and GT5 looks great already.

Eh I feel like he doesn't know so he is saying that. He's much lower on the chain, being only in one region, opposed to the president of worldwide studios which is in charge of all 1st party development and he said it does play used games. Sooo..... Oh and apparently EA is doing a live conference about the PS4, I wonder what games they have in store for it? Probably Fifa and Need For Speed, the usual for right now.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix
I may get it but I'm not sure, by that time my focus will probably be on PS4. Probably won't have a lot of cash for PS3 games but I will get around to it eventually.

Goldeneye for the N64 is widely regarded as awesome, I recommend Nightfire personally.
The remake for Wii(and the HD version on PS3 with Move) is actually pretty good as well. I was surprised how well made the remake is.

Fixed on FF.

Confirmed: Next Xbox blocks used games?
I'm locking this... I sincerely doubt it's true now that it's confirmed Sony is NOT doing this. Microsoft is not this stupid.

These three articles definitely have my interest.

I'm kinda sad though that they confirmed Cole's legacy won't be impacting Second Son at all, as inFamous's 2(At least the good ending) left a lot of speculation. I just hope it hasn't completely abandoned everything the first two games had. Otherwise, it only strengthens the problem with too many video games as of lately for creating new games for a franchise but barely being attached to one another, running out of creativity and likely to sell just because everybody would know the name. A problem I have with a few franchises out there. :/

Regardless, I'm still excited for new info.
Honestly it's like a movie that doesn't need a sequel or in this case had a sequel but didn't need a third. I feel they wrapped up the story nicely in the second and continuing it would just be like making a new story to continue it just for the sake of continuing it. Kind of like Taken 2 or Aladdin 3. lol!

The game is still based in the same world as inFAMOUS. It's 7 years after the events of Cole McGrath so it's not like they're tacking on the inFAMOUS name to a game completely unrelated. It's a whole new story arc, same universe.

@Snow Toilet - Yeah RFOM really stood out among other titles of that time. Loved the weapons and it kinda felt like a mature Ratchet & Clank.

Well, they kinda have to not block used games because Nintendo is already allowing it. You can't expect it to work out if one company blocks it while another allows it. But at least my worries are safe, being reassured. :V

I don't really like Killzone, but uh, you sure you're placing its launch that much higher? XD Not quite sure about that yet. Not to mention Watch Dogs is just confirmed to Wii U. Of course, I'm hoping Second Son could be a launch title too.

But yeah, I know the new guy seen is not Cole, but I'm just hoping that seeing it continues the inFamous franchise, it doesn't completely brush aside the first two games. Like hopefully Cole's story will leave a legacy or impact. Though I think it will, since I remember Kessler being called "First Son" or something like that.

But yeah! At least I know some new and big Final Fantasy news will show up at E3. They said a new game will be announced, which could be Versus being re-announced as Final Fantasy XV. Or it could maybe take the Agni's Philosophy concept, which I wouldn't mind. Though I'm excited for Lightning's Return too, but I doubt that's what he's referring to.


Oh and uh, how many Ls and Rs are there on the controller? I mean, L5 and R5? @____@
Yeah I would. PS1 had an ok launch, PS2 had a horrible launch, and PS3 had a slightly better launch than PS2 but only one real shining game since Motorstorm got delayed. Playstation has never really had a great launch as far as games but most consoles don't really, it usually takes a year for the games to start rolling.

As far as Watch Dogs being on Wii U. Well yeah, it's multiplatform but that doesn't take away from the launch titles. Wii U got a lot of praise for having a bunch of games that were on PS3/360...

I find it amusing that Sony never showed the actual console.

Ah, so Second Son is actually inFamous 3? Alright. Hopefully it's very connected to the first two games. Want to see Cole's story have an impact, not abandoned. ):

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Features are definitely impressive, Second Son has me pretty excited. Some games that made me go "Oh that just looks cool" but not overly making me want a PS4 for those. I know the system will eventually have those games though.

There was a shred of hope though hoping for a surprise from Square about Final Fantasy Versus XIII being moved to PS4, but alas. Guess we'll have to wait for E3. Info will have to appear... right? Since Square is now marketing perfume with the game.

EDIT: Oh! I must have missed this. They showed the Agni's Philosophy tech demo again and said a new title will come this E3? Hoo-rah.
They didn't show it so they can make an impact at E3. They got people hyped up for this and now they want more which will happen at E3. It was actually genius, get a sample of it now and show the rest later to have two big impacting shows instead of just one.

As for Second Son, I'm thinking it's a spin off or a whole new story arc with the inFAMOUS name. That wasn't Cole and it didn't look like a continuation of the previous ones. The guy who uploaded it falsely labeled the video. And the SE guy said be excited for E3. I'll bet it's Versus XIII but renamed to XV. There's no way he's talking about Lightning Returns.

Pics of the Dualshock 4... I'll bet it feels pretty comfortable.

Thoughts so far:

Aahhh that demo from Epic Games... !!! That looked really cool.

Real disappointed with the Dualshock 4 though. :/ Looks like I could accidentally break the thing, and the triggers don't look particularly better then they currently are. I always chose to put a trigger extension on a PS3 controller because I find them TOO SLIPPERY and not curved right... at least for me anyway. Was hoping for a big change in design for the controller, but alas, nothing too extraordinary. :/

But whoaaaaa digital games can be played as they actually download in the background. WHAT'S TAKEN SO LONG? ;_____;
I think the controller is fine albeit just a small evolution of what's been before it. I'm looking forward to what the touch pad and light bar bring to games. Seems like it could be interesting.

Digital games can be played as the download in the background, you can try out any game on PSN instantly, you can instantly boot your game from where you left off by simply turning it back on, you can watch what your friends are playing even if you don't have the game while leaving messages or even taking control of the game, 8 gigs of ddr5 ram, Gaikai technology for remote play with Vita, recording of any gameplay by simply pressing the share button. The new interface is awesome!! So much capability.

My favorite games show were Knack and inFAMOUS: Second Son. Knack just looked really awesome!!

According to rumors the price will be $399 US dollars at launch. Which is much cheaper than the PS3 launch and the same price as the Xbox 360. There have been leaked photos of the prototype controller but it's not know if they are real or not. Apparently it has a touch pad like the PS Vita and Move functionality built right into a traditional controller design.

http://www.examiner.com/article/report-ps4-launch-price-significantly-cheaper-than-ps3
I gotta be honest with you. That controller just looks like something straight out of the late 90's maybe early 2000's. But it's just a prototype. Such a small "screen" for something touch-worthy.

EDIT: I'm glad to hear about GT6. I really liked the fifth installment a lot. My wonder is what will this make for Killzone 4.
It's not a screen it's a pad, there's a difference! And the controller looks like exactly what it is, a prototype.

@Volt. We'll see. The price is a bit high but what would kill it for me is the paid subscription for most services like Live. PSN is so much better than Live the way it is now, why devolve into something that offers less value?
It be starting sooooooon!!!
