Sony he started strong in his talk from the Gamescom 2014, where what better way to start the presentation than by showing in-game material of two of the most anticipated and spectacular games that will arrive in the future at PlayStation 4: we talk about Bloodborne, from the director of the acclaimed Demon's Souls and clear spiritual successor of the same -with permission of Dark Souls, another great of the genre-, whose gameplay gave me goose bumps with its creatures and setting, while The Order: 1886 also plunged us into a twisted atmosphere where the hardware of PS4 I was putting out muscle. We also had material from Little Big Planet 3, but of course the other two titles completely overshadowed the exclusive Media Molecule.
Almost breathless, these two videos left us, which gave way to a indies game fireworks, whose intake, already almost per tube, is beginning to become somewhat cloying with the saturation of titles of this cut, when, clearly, users demand triple A cut programs for their console of hundreds of euros and in which almost half of players of PS4 -which already has an installed base of more than 10 million machines- pay your subscription PlayStation Plus.
As I was saying, indie games took on a special prominence, and the first to come to the fore, spiced up with Russian background choruses, was The Tomorrow Children, a game that mixed construction, resource management and action with a minimalist staging. The next was The Vanishing of Ethan Carter; then we had Volume, with its peculiar staging and that was signed by the author of Thomas was alone, which was quite reminiscent of virtual infiltration trainings de Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance; it was confirmed Hollow Point and an agreement with paradox to bring more games to PSN; and it was confirmed DayZ, which in addition to reaching PC, will also have a version for PlayStation 4, although no release date was specified.
An eye-catching announcement was that of Hellblade de Ninja Theory, a studio that has gone from developing high-level production games to joining the indie family - the truth is that the commercial setback of its DmC, on which it is rumored that there will be a remastering-. At first, the trailer shown pointed to Heavenly Sword 2 thanks to the appearance of the protagonist, although to speculate, let's think that there could be some kind of relationship between Hellblade -blade of hell- with Heavenly Sword -celestial sword- or simply be a play on words as a wink on the part of Ninja Theory.
An indie that has me captivated is that of our Spanish compatriots from Tequila Works. The last trailer shown of Rime in this Gamescom 2014 it is pure love: a unique aesthetic -remember at times to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker- and a very particular adventure style in the third person - in the vein of the classic ICO de PS2-, they make me presage that we are going to be facing an important game in the exclusive catalog of PlayStation 4.
Destiny was present at the conference and Activision took his chest out of his game, bragging that it was the most reserved new IP in history, with the version of PlayStation 4, for which they will send an exclusive map on the day of its premiere: the September 9. The next show to show on stage was Far Cry 4, which gave us moments of authentic chaos even with herds of elephants destroying everything on the screen. Ubisoft confirmed that the version of PlayStation 4 will have until 10 keys -or what is the same, invitations- to deliver them to the friends that we want to join our game for two hours in a cooperative mode, without the need for them to have the game.
Hideo Kojima took the stage to show us more his expected Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Far from getting excited with cinematics, we were shown what we would be able to do with the iconic cardboard boxes, in a humorous video. Not only will we be able to camouflage ourselves and move with a put on top, we can also stand up, open it and shoot, jump out of it and crawl away and use it as a decoy thanks to images printed on it, like a soldier who can confuse the enemy or a scantily clad young lady who will amaze even the fiercest persecutor.
Drive Club, the bet on speed in PS4 That seems never to come, it was seen in a new demo where we see how the game is progressing, the weather effects on the circuits or some of the possibilities of the photo mode. We will see if almost the year of waiting has been worth it. Below was a trailer for a horror game defined as PT, a kind of interactive teaser that is only available on PlayStation Store and that has subsequently been confirmed as the new Silent Hill prepared by Kojima Productions, will have the collaboration of Guillermo del Toro, is expected for next year and it has not been very clear if it will be an exclusive of PlayStation 4.
Sony He told us about the news of the 2.0 update for PS4, of which we can highlight the options to upload videos to Youtube and the call Share Play, which allows any user of PlayStation Plus pass control to another user anywhere in the world, and also play in coop or competitive mode with a friend, all through PSN. And be careful, the one with whom we play will not even need to have the game, although in any case, we will have to see how all this theory works in practice and if the internet connections are stable enough to guarantee a pleasant experience. Of PS Now, the streaming game rental service, was reported to hit Europe in 2015, first debuting in the UK. Finally, we will have Playstation TV at 99 euros this year and will come with three digital games to download for free.
The final stretch of the show was enlivened by other game announcements. Until Dawn, that first-person horror game that was going to use the Move controller, has changed platform, going from PS3 a PS4With that peripheral banished, the perspective has been changed to the third person and it is emerging as a horror game with decision-making that will affect the development of the plot - although against it, we must point out a graphic section that needs to be further polished. Media Molecule announced the arrival of his Teaway a PlayStation 4, which will do so by taking advantage of all the characteristics of the DualShock 4. Finally, the indies were once again given prominence, highlighting Michel Ancel's game, known as It, an open world bet to explore in the skin of humans or creatures that roam the wastelands of the game. Regarding news for PS Vita, There was not a single advertisement for the laptop, which has discontented and demotivated, even more if possible, the owners of this console.
The truth is that, except for the surprise of Silent Hill in hands of Kojima Productions y Guillermo del Toro, We did not have great news of weight. The gameplay of The Order: 1886 y Bloodborne confirm that they will be two of the most powerful titles of PlayStation 4 in a 2015 full of releases -remember that there are a large number of games that have been postponed until that year-, in addition to Drive Club will have to come out in very good shape to stand up to the new Force de Xbox One. As for the rest, too indie, although counting on wonders like Rime, the total abandonment of PS Vita and we can already see that Sony is preparing, little by little, the transition to a era of digital services They claim to be the future of the industry.
