Minecraft will be a launch title for the PS4! Whew. That&#8217;s done, so that leaves us with the ho-hum stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Sony <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.us.playstation.com\/2013\/08\/20\/gamescom-2013-watch-the-playstation-press-conference-live-today\/\">presented<\/a> a lot of games at Gamescom. Killzone Shadow Fall, Watch Dogs, Rime, a reimagined Shadow of the Beast, Hotline Miami 2, Rogue Legacy, Gran Turismo 6, and a host of other promising looking titles either had trailers or quick snippets of gameplay. Assassin&#8217;s Creed IV: Black Flag was used to show off the PS4 to Vita feature.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Playstation handheld, Sony <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2013\/8\/20\/4640262\/sony-cuts-ps-vita-price-199\">announced<\/a> a price drop. The new price of the Vita in the US will be $199. (That&#8217;s 199 Euros as well thanks to wacky pricing math.) Sony Europe&#8217;s CEO, Jim Ryan, said there would be a price drop for the Vita memory cards as well.<\/p>\n<p>Free Twitch streaming support for the PS4 sharing feature was announced. Only Ustream support had been announced at E3 for the console, so that&#8217;s welcome news for gamers with a streaming preference.<\/p>\n<p>SCEA president Andrew House revealed that Sony will offer a discount plan for gamers that purchase titles on PS3 and then later wish to upgrade to PS4 versions of the same games. While he didn&#8217;t have any specifics, he did say that Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, and Warner Bros are participating.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, despite rumors of an earlier than expected October release date, Sony fizzled by confirming a November launch for the PS4. The US launch will be November 15th, while the date for Europe will be November 29th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[37],"class_list":["post-24418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-playstation-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
