Well only fifteen and half hours to go until Sony's big announcement happens, I'm very excited to see what they announce today. We all know it's pretty much their new console thanks to the teaser trailers talking about their past consoles plus with the advertising say it will change gaming you know it's got to be a new console. That or they announcing a brand new exclusive game but it would be a little too much hype just for that.
Anyway I thought I would put down a post before the event with what I'm hoping to see, plus I needed to do a general update. Well I'm hoping the rumours are trouble with the new controller design, I like the Dual shock but I hate the triggers, I find it annoying that I had to go and buy Gioteck clip on triggers to stop my finger slipping. Also the analog sticks need a better grip for your thumbs, maybe a slight indent could help there. So yeah I'm hoping for those two things to change and that's it for me, long as the pad is comfortable I'm happy.
The Console itself, well I'm not sure what I want it to do just as long as the download/install speeds improve because the PlayStation 3 is a joke when it comes to that. It's like being on dial up all over again and there is no excuse how it can be so bad. Oh yeah there is something I don't want, constant Internet connection and no Pre-owned. Now don't get me wrong all my consoles are pretty much constantly connected to the Internet but what happens if the net goes down, everyone has had that problem at least once. I don't want the net going down and then making my console useless to play while I have to wait for it to come back on. What happens if it happen suddenly in a middle of game, does it shut off and not let me save? if they going to do this they need to really look into properly since no Internet Provider is 100% up.
Pre-owned is a tough subject for everyone, I can understand completely that the Publisher and Developers get zero of the profit made from Pre-Owned. But on the other hand you got to expect a decrease in sales if you wipe out the Pre-Owned business, too many games are released in the same time frame and most people cannot afford all of them. Without trading in old games there be no way I could get all my new games, plus what if a game sucks? I'm stuck with it forever? then I won't be taking chances with games I'm not sure on. As I said it will decrease sales no matter what anyone says but I do understand something needs to be done so they see some of the money, hell they made the game.
Think I'm getting off track right now, basically I want an awesome console announced tonight with lots of new sparkly features to keep me entertained. I would also love to see a release date and that it will be this year, plus if we lucky some games to go with it. Uncharted 4 for launch will make it a day one purchase for me.

Actually before I change the subject fully away, the event is at 11pm GMT tonight so what the hell! typical since I will be at the Gears of War Judgement Lock-in at that time. Will have to take my iPad with me so I can stream it in the background, multi-tasking for the win although it is a Microsoft event so wonder how that will go down. So yeah subject change, Gears of War! cannot wait to play it tonight and see it in action although in another way playing it a month early will only make me want it right now. I played the God of War the other weekend as well, wasn't it a lock-in event more of a demo pod but my god the level was fun. Also walked away with a free Kratos Sackboy keyring as well which is awesome. As I said the other day it's going to be a busy day, since I will have a few hours after work and before the event I'm not sure what I will be playing.
I clocked Call of Duty the other day so I'm now balanced again with my challenge, I ordered Hitman HD collection for the PS3 since it was in the Mega Monday sale on Zavvi for £15. £5 for each game was a steal to me so had to order it, actually I could work on that. Also still got Saints Row the Third and Ni No Kuni to work on as well, the PlayStation 3 is really getting some love lately. Probably because I do love the Trophy system and a lot of my friends have moved over from the Xbox, of course it does not mean I've given up on my Xbox.
Think my challenge is going to struggle over the next few weeks since the March line up will be starting, not sure how I had originally planned to complete that many games to get all that lot. But I will be trying my best to keep clocking as much as I can, cannot allow my Pile of Shame to get any bigger. Well on that note I'm going to head off, too much rambling on this post so I think it's time to end it. Have a good one folks and no doubt I will be posting later or tomorrow with the outcome from today.
