Games Are the Real Headliner for The PS4 Event
While Sony may have been just a little vague with just about every other aspect, the plans for its games were a lot more concrete. With new releases from the likes of Ubisoft, SuckerPunch, Bungie, and even Blizzard, it was clear that the company spared no expense to show that at its core the PlayStation brand is still all about the games. In general, the titles all looked pretty impressive, with graphics that even came close to rivaling some of the top-budget digitally animated films. The only real problem I will always have with events like this is that a lot of what was shown was more on the cinematic side of things. Videos supposedly running off a fresh devkit are pretty cool, but after what happened at the PS3 reveal, I tend not to fully believe in a console until I see how games look as they are actually being played live.
All that said, the demo I found most impressive was Ubisoft's own live Watch_Dogs section. Sure we may have never got to see someone actually holding a controller, but what we saw on the screen was convincing enough for me to see what the full PS4 experience is going to be like. The same can also be said about Knack which we very visibly saw being played live on a PlayStation Vita. The other big moments for games came in partnerships openly announced by both Blizzard and Bungie to bring exclusive content to the console. Blizzard in general seemed a lot more like they might only be making games for Sony platforms which makes for a lot of MMO-intrigue for the future. What we will actually see remains somewhat undecided, but Blizzard's Diablo III and Bungie's Destiny certainly look like worthy additions to the PS repertoire.
All in all, I think Sony had a pretty great event, but what about you? Let me know by leaving a comment below!

As far as prerender, I was far more shocked to see gameplay. The event was to announce that another console was in the works, and they showed gameplay!?! That is unheard of.
Are you one of those people that I could give a million dollars, and you would reply by saying, it's just a shame that I couldn't get two?

Dont get me wrong I stayed up to the wee hours to watch this (UK) and enjoyed it. Even woke the wife up to say we need to start saving. Was happy with what was shown. As for watch dogs was not common knowledge it wasnt running on pc. Not till ubi talk after show, by which time I was in bed dreaming of realistic floating heads and big dragons.My point being prerenders dont really give you a sense of what the game will be like and we all got stung in the past with the ps3 killzone trailer. Great to see games on show hence my looking forward to E3.

I told my Wife that I was going to have to pull a bank job at some point this year. She just started a business, so I am broke.
