    Beyond is a PS3 game, isn't it?

    What about listing CoD, FIFA, BF4 etc?

      BF4 and Fifa haven't had official announcements as far as I know. Fixed the other two though, thanks.

            I think that The Witness isn't an exclusive, just that the PS4 is the first console to get it?

            Although not yet confirmed by Sony for the PS4 the Gaikai led video/music streaming service has already entered very early beta testing on PS3.

            Originally it was estimated they were looking to buy Netflix but they have a larger back catalogue when it comes to films and there's no music on Netflix yet although rumours suggest they're moving in that direction.

            It's long been rumoured that it may be run by a third part company in partnership with Sony, maybe even Netflix themselves as Netflix have been under a great deal of pressure in that space over the past couple of years from the increasing number of new entries in that space.

              Think eyetoy(4?) is included, as it is a part of the controlling system

                Yeah, it will be in the Box, at the very least they need to to have some kind of feature Parity with One, regardless of how well it would work in comparison.

                  I don't think they need to have feature parity. Neither company knew what the other was doing during development so there are bound to be differences. Sony won't have anything approaching kinect for example.

                    It doesn't take a genius to see that Microsoft wasn't going to let go of Kinect , there are now mobile phones and Tvs that have gesture control, Sony need to cover the possibility that they could be the one without an important consumer feature later on down the line.

                      I don't think that Kinect and the PlayStation Eye thing are designed to do the same things to be honest.

                      I do feel that for Microsoft Kinect is very much an integral the platform that, it's where other parts of what their offering comes from. I don't think with Sony that their version is as important as that, it's more like something additional to the main system.

                        But it isn't an important consumer feature. No one wants this stuff. Netflix built into their tv sure. Talking to their tv? No. Waving at their tv? Also no. Their tv watching and listening to them 24/7? No

                          It's important that my hardware doesn't feature such nonsense.

                            That's a pretty uninspiring games line up. I think FSW should do one for Xbox One if no one else is going to!

                              Quite surprised to read this but it looks like the Dreamfall Chapters series is on the way to PS4.

                              From an indie developer's point of view, this reveal was a disappointment, I had hoped for more from Microsoft, an assurance that they will be more open and inviting to the rising tide of new games and studios, but there was no mention of it or sign that they are changing the way Xbox Live will work for indie developers, which makes it hard for us to get excited about the platform.

                              There's room for things to change or be clarified closer to launch, but for now our development focus will be on PlayStation 4. Sony has explicitly stated their support of indie development, and we are already looking at taking Dreamfall Chapters onto their platform.
                              If it is the whole series then it includes The Longest Journey, Dreamfall: The longest Journey and currently in development Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey. Blood awful names.


                              Sort of half related as CD Projekt are assisting them in with the latest game. CD Projekt have announced Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt as getting a PS4 release. Akthough I don't expect it to be an exclusive they've refused to comment on it reaching "other nextgen consoles" when asked after the Xbox 1 reveal.
