Sony promises 100 PlayStation 4 games for 2014

Here's a more fun fact: produce it then talk about it, otherwise you got nothing. (and about 70 of those are likely PSN titles only)

When you throw indie titles in to the mix, 100 games isn't anything. PC gamers have always been enjoying this. It's nice to see the console mfg's starting to open up more.

I'd rather have access to 100's of good games instead of a handful of "exclusives" every year.

Most indy games aren't even worth the time it takes to download them though; I not saying there isn't any good ones, just when indy support gets flood-gates open, it's no end to clone apps and un-originality. I'd rather pick through a handful of exclusives than mine through 100 games of crap.

If some of these new ps4 games come to fruition in real good programmed games then OK. But the continuous external production of games that are... kill this, shoot that, blow this up can feck off.
I have been involved in gaming since pong and I have to say, lately, the games are all just blow the world up and anything in your way. Just destroy it all with no real brain-power substance.

I was a hard-core Tomb-Raider fan but they turned that into a shoot-emm-up as well, so that leaves me in the wild regarding puzzle games of the like of Tomb-Raider.

Is it all going to be like this constantly ? or will some true game programmers inflict excellence in their gaming approach, and add a new game or two that has real depth and puzzle solving for the mind, or will it continue into a blood-fest of kill this, shoot that, blow it all up scenario.

It's like game programmers nowadays just want to fit the time-line for production of a usually straight-forward game mechanic and make money. Just look at the excellence that went into Half-Life... I have a feeling that it is all about fast tracking games now, and putting the programmers under stress to make a game to fit a time-line for production, no matter what pile of junk it is.

Don't get me wrong, it's not always a bad thing, but how many of these are real new games or reheated PS3 games?

"It just ain't like the good old days, is it?" :)

My first game was pong too but I can't say I agree Stardata. There's a lot of variation out there and some truly fabulous games.

It's not about "quantity" it's about "quality" and if you are pushing that many titles in a year, we all know what type of crap that will be put out.

I'm sure there will be a lot of stupid kids games (i.e. Legos, the next big kids movie, etc.)

They are going to port 95 PS3 games and release 5 new games? Cool...that will make the system almost as good as the PS3!

Seriously tho...if I didn't have a PC, I might actually get a PS4 if they re-released fallout 3 & NV as well as skyrim on the PS4; with enough ram it might be possible to complete those games.
