Sony showed off enough content that I want to result in me being very happy with their conference.

Overall, it did exactly what I wanted and was able to match the MS conference for me. I'm so happy to see ALOT of games in my future for both consoles.

Oh and..... Grim Fandango!!!!!!!

The only minuses I would give Sony would be based on a few parts that got really slow and took some of the edge off the excitement of the games, and for the lack of detail on games I really want to see (The Last Guardian and Project Beast come to mind)

Oh yeah I was so annoyed they didn't show TLOU gameplay. Given they said thats what is different. They said they used Cutscene models ingame. So showing us slightly sharper cutscenes isn't good. I want to see part of a level played.

The problem with the MS games is that even their new games aren't that interesting this year.

 

Sunset overdrive looks pretty damn great.  There big highlights were remakes of Halo and a remake of Crackdown though.  I get that Halo sells and people love the series but announce new games, not stuff we played 5-10 years ago.

So that's it?

 

Well overall feeling is a meh. Neither Sony nor Microsoft showed anything particularly noteworthy.

So many remakes and sequels.

I'm more disappointed by Sony's lineup than Microsoft's, I was expecting a little more variety from Sony. But no, just the same old rehashed stuff. About the best thing between the two conferences was Insomniac's surprise trailer. 

 

All aboard the Nintendo hype train I guess.

I felt like sony was trying to troll Microsoft with the TV and camera things ...


I have no interest in Sunset overdrive, give me Uncharted instead anyday!

 

For my own taste in gaming the most interesting exclusive shown in both conferences was The Order.

 

Sunset Overdrive looks really nice tough imo.

Regarding Project Beast, you guys were right, but my mistake was confusing that name with Capcom's Deep Down game. That was the game that I was hoping to see more of.

Sunset looks bad, the gameplay may be fun, but looks bad.

So The order is not a multi-platform?

please, lets refrain from making statements based on opinion and pushing them as a general truth.

The Order is PS4 only.

Ah so graphics are more important than gameplay? The Order looked dull to me, but oh well " ooh shiny "

I think both conferences were actually weak. To the point i'm not even sure i'll buy a new console this year. I'll play all multiplatform games on PC anyway. There's no way i'm gonna play Witcher 3 or the new Batman on consoles while i can play them with real next gen gfx on PC.

 

I can't recall all exclusives shown and i'll surely forget one of two but for the most part it was meh.

 

Fable 3 : i've yet to play a great Fable game. They are okay but ...

Forza Horizon 2 : i'm interested i like Forza serie but on another hand i like GRID/Dirt series too and i can live with only thoses.

Sunset Overdrive : looks cool i want to play it.

Crackdown 3 : I liked the first one but it was also lackluster and a disappointment so i'm not holding my breath too much.

Dead Rising 3 DLC : AWESOME TRAILER hope it is coming to PC too.

Scalebond : looks bad but i'll need to see more but is it like Pokemon for adults ???

Halo 5 : was not really shown :( .

Halo 2 HD with all the bugs that killed the original at high level on XBox forcing people to use trial accounts to start at low level again and avoid all the exploits in the game : yeah GREAT move to include the stupid superjump. ***** the map you said you loved so much while playing was almost **** unplayable at high level because of the stupid superjump. Educate yourself about a game before you go to speak in a press conference. What's next the return of bridging just for Halo 2 HD ... hope they did not forget triple weilding for extra ammo. It was a hard to do exploit but with needlers it was deadly.

 

The Order : looks awesome don't care about the black borers it looks really cool.

Uncharted 4 : never cared that much about uncharted and probably never will.

LBP 3 : looks like a great family game again. I could see myself playing that with my daughter no doubt about it.

Entwined : looks nice but well definitely not a system seller.

Let it die (not sure it is exclusive) : did not see enough but looks meh right now not a big fan of Grasshopper anyway.

Bloodborn (not sure it is exclusive) : did not see enough of it but it is From Software should be a good game at the very least.

Last of US HD : really want to play this one. One of the two PS3 games last generation i wanted to play on my 360 (with Journey).

Second Son DLC : looks nice but not a fan of Infamous either.

 

Anyway dunno i feel like in both case it is missing something. Specially something new. I mean Horizon 2, Crackdown 3, Fable 3, Uncharted 4, Halo 4, DLCs, lot of sequels few original content. I'm dying to play Last of US tough.

Sunset looks bad, the gameplay may be fun, but looks bad.

 

 

Who cares if it looks bad. Lifeless Planet gfx are average at best but i would still play that over a new craptacular Call of Duty.

Regarding Project Beast, you guys were right, but my mistake was confusing that name with Capcom's Deep Down game. That was the game that I was hoping to see more of.

 

 

 Me too it was a big letdown to be honest to not see that Capcom title.

Never understood the hype behind LBP. Would take Uncharted any day though, but unfortunately that's about all...not enough to get me to shell out for a PS4.

 

People have kids. Would you play Gear of Wars with a 9 years old girl ???

 

Nah you play Little big planet or Lego games or Mario games.

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
