The PS4 is Here!

And now on to the one true love of my live... okay second love, but never mind that. Sony delivered tonight!

We started out with a rock star entrance because they can, then they announced that Vita's not going anywhere. That bad boys got 85 games lined up to come out by the end of the year.

As for PS3 we've got Last of Us coming up this week I think, Puppeteer which kind of confused me but it still looked cool, Rain which is also confusing but cool looking, Beyond Two Souls, and Gran Tarismo 6 (sorry if that spelled wrong, went by kind of quick).

Also Batman Arkham Origins, GTA 5 Bundle with a headset and 300 other games by the end of the year. A lot of which I think will be indie games, but we'll get there in a moment.

Now for the PS4 and may I say, Baby is looking good!

Sony Entertainment said they were working towards unlimited music and video available day one with the PS4 (Can't remember if we have for PS3 but this is awesome).

They are also bringing Redbox Instant, Live Events Viewer for Pay Per View, and Flixster to the PS3, Vita and PS4.

There are 30 PS4 games in development as I type this, 20 of those with be out first year of PS4's life with 12 of those being brand new ideas. One of which is a steampunk game by the name of The Order 1886. Looks to be about Werewolves and it looks good.

Next was the first person shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall. Now I'm not normally into first person shooters, but this bad boy looks to be worth my time. Also Drive Club... yeah racing still not into it.

Then Infamous Second Son which was just... yes please.

Knack was the next game they showed. Kind of cutesy, but I like so I will try it out.

Killzone and Drive Club will be available at launch while Second Son and Knack will be out in 2014.

They then showed a clip from a game in production to show off the new super realisticness, cool but I could have got that from the previews and gameplay. It was a funny little clip though.

Supergiant Games showed off there new baby: Transistor. The artwork alone is worth it to me for this one. It's a 2d one proving once again that we don't always need real.

They talked about self published games a bit and showcased some indie games which I was really happy about. I like when the little guys get to show off at big events and some times even show up the bigger dogs. All of the games previewed would be PS4 exclusive.

We also get Diablo 3, nough said.

And then Sqaure Enix made my night. Update on Versus 13 oh no wait we're Final Fantasy 15 now kids (my sister called this one from four miles away). And Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development (Sploosh!) They showed a really shot in game preview and I can't wait, It's going to be amazing. They did say that FF 15 would be on PS3 and 4, yay!

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Demo: It plays like all the other Ass Creeds it's just now your a pirate. Still can't wait to play.

Watchdogs Demo: Yes please! This game looks so just, I can't even it was that good. And I know I'm using that a lot but I don't know what else to say. Sony just came out and made sweet sweet love to us, cuddled a bit and then loved us some more... Yes I know I'm a fan girl leave me be!

Anyhoo, NBA2K14... that is all.

Elder Scrolls Online: Beta coming to PS4, can't wait. Big fan on Skyrim so...

Mad Max game. Yes you heard me right, there is going to be a Mad Max game on PS4. Looks cool, no demo just a trailer, but it's something.

There are 140 games in development for the PS4 and they all look good so far. During the demos there was some lagging, mainly in Assassin's Creed and the last one (getting to it) but they have time to work it out. I believe in you Sony.

And then the big news of the night... wait for it... No Restrictions. None, zero, zip. Sony took out it's much bigger dick and slap Microsoft silly with it. None of this need for an internet connection, no online auto check-ins keeping your system on all the time, none of that. They're working the make the PSN better with more stuff and PS Plus is carrying over to PS4. That's right, if you have PS Plus your not going to have to pay anymore it's just going to be there for the same price it's always been.

They closed out the with a demo of Destiny. Once again not really a first person shooter kind of gamer, but I'd play this in a heartbeat. I love during the demo the two guys playing... they got new weapons during the play right and one of 'em got a sniper rifle (my weapon of chose). And the first dude was all "I like the long rifle. What's it's name?" and the other guy answered "Shut up and get behind me." I do love fan boys sometimes.

After that it was a quick chat about the Cloud. Sony not loving the Cloud as much as Microsoft but not denying it's a good idea. Using it as a backup which I feel like is what it's suppose to be used for but maybe that's just us. To top it off Sony dickslapped Microsoft again by putting a $399 price tag on the PS4. My sister already has plans to preorder. All and All the day went to Sony and Microsoft dug its self even farther into the hole. EA pulled its self back up and Ubisoft... yeah what did Ubisoft do again?

Anyhoo tomorrow Nintendo Direct takes the stage and after that I kind of don't care. Good Night gamers!
