It's official: the new console is called the PlayStation 4.
Andrew House started the event talking about Sony's consumer-centric vision for the company. From the Vita to previous consoles, they've strived to create play on the goal and in the home. A new console is the result of Sony's desire to match parity with gamer demands for connectivity and developer insight into the needs of a system.
House promised a console that will be the most personalized system, the most adaptable, and offering more opportunities to remain connected even away from the primary console.
Lead system architect and industry veteran Mark Cerny explained that development on the new console bgan four years ago. The key talking point of his time on the stage is in connecting a broad range of services with a single console. Netflix and other services worked well on the PS3, he explained, but they wanted to offer a more fluid, larger world for gamers. In working with developers, he describes the PS4 as a system where the developers are happy, leading to better games.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida made the company’s plans for the PlayStation Vita clear: “Our priority right now is definitely to bring more content.”
“In terms of new content and new system and service features, we can add that, and we can work with third-parties to get more,” he continued. “We’re getting a very good feeling when we talk with third-party companies.”
It’s obvious that gaming platforms need to be supported by games and features, but Sony’s line of portables has struggled to buck a reputation as a barren system. To that end, Sony announced a suite of new initiatives to bolster the Vita’s library during their Gamescom presentation.

David Jaffe has never been one to muzzle his thoughts, and when he gets riled up about something, he's very quick to take himself to a keyboard and vent his frustrations. He infamously aired his grievances about a review on Joystiq on his public blog, and he was certain that the comments about his DICE session would quickly be filling up with comments like "Jaffe's a fuckin' idiot."
Is he right? While you might not always agree with him, it's always heartening to see someone who is passionate and outspoken about their beliefs, and who have the arguments to back them up. Jaffe readily admits that he got into video games because of the allure of movies and that he wanted to put that type of storytelling into gaming. But he's also quick to point out that it doesn't work, and that developers should not attempt to tell stories or impart philosophies in their games. He also thinks that it is dangerous. Watch his keynote below to find out why.
