E3 2013: 10 Reveals We Are Most Excited About

2. Playstation 4

PlayStation 4 The Playstation 4 has had it pretty easy so far. There had been some minor concerns about the console after the launch, but it all went more or less to plan. That was until the Microsoft reveal. Originally, they got a lot of extra support from fans who didn't want to put up with the restrictions that Microsoft were putting on the Xbox One, although now Sony have let a few questions poised to them fester and a certain level of doubt has begun to creep in. Sony possibly have even more of a point to prove than Microsoft at this years E3 due to the fact that we just know less about the console at the moment. We understand it is games centeric and that it doesn't need to always be online, but that is really it. There are so many questions that Sony have left unanswered in the wake of Microsoft's reveal and just haven't assured anyone that they aren't going to be pulling the same tricks. We don't know how restricted the experience will be offline and we don't know if they have a similar plan for used games or not. Microsoft can really only go up from here and if Sony don't have the right answers, they could find themselves in a little bit of bother. The Playstion 4 will have some great exclusives, and if they can really showcase their hardware and show that they really care about their community, then there is no reason they can't walk away from E3 with it all in the bag. Although, it is entirely possible that they will have a bumpy ride. I will be at Sony's key note press conference and I will be giving you all my reaction on the show, where they stand and I will do my best to get straight answers out of who I can.
