4 Possible Exclusives For The Launch Of PlayStation 4
The importance of a solid launch lineup for a new piece of hardware can't be understated.
For the sake of argument, let's accept the predictions of most analysts, who say the PlayStation 4 will launch between 2013 and 2014. Considering the time gap, let's see what Sony exclusives might be ready for that time frame; the PS4 will undoubtedly need a few big hitters right out of the gate.
Gran Turismo 6
If we take Kazunori Yamauchi's reputation for being a perfectionist and the sheer amount of time involved to create a franchise entry, it's not a stretch to assume GT6 won't be ready for a few years. It'd be an especially alluring title for the PS4 launch because it's almost guaranteed to haul down high review scores and big sales numbers. This is one of the most popular franchises in history, remember.
Uncharted 4
Hardware launches are typically found around the holidays; Sony will likely want to release new Uncharted titles in that same window, and we're talking about the most critically acclaimed series of the generation. Sony well understands the importance of what has become a flagship and suddenly iconic franchise; to have a new installment ready for the new PlayStation would be epic. Naughty Dog and the PS4 would make for a lovely couple.
Killzone 4
Guerrilla may be working on a new mystery project but they will invariably make a fourth Killzone, and it should fall into the 2013/2014 time frame. The PlayStation 3 launched with an original exclusive IP in Resistance: Fall of Man, and this generation has proven the necessity of big shooters. Plus, KZ3 was a massive technical achievement; can you imagine what Guerrilla could do with the PS4...?
Metal Gear Solid 5
Good God. Just think... These projects take time and like Yamauchi, Hideo Kojima is a perfectionist and won't be happy with anything less than a near-flawless production. Along with Gran Turismo, this is one of PlayStation's original exclusive masterpieces. To have a fifth entry available when the PS4 hits store shelves would make for an explosion of interest. Long-time Sony fans and new gamers alike would be impressed.

Then again, KH has a bit of a cartoony feel on their games, so I'm not as confident on the fact that if it's necessary for them to use FFvsXIII's engine. It looks like a game that could easily be mult-plat unless the game somehow have a bunch of content and need advance physics and such. This is what I worry most about when a game is multi-plat, which is the fact that content may be cut to prevent too much overkill on the DVDs. I mean how many ps3 exclusives are less than 10gb? Other than that, I wouldn't mind too much.

Look at the first Uncharted. Sure, -now- it'd be a system seller, but I remember when it first came out. Was a great game recommended by all, but it took some time before it became well known as a must buy title. Even though the press scores and people who played it loved it, I think it took most people a little while to buy into it.
When UC2 came out, now THAT caused waves at release.
A new IP might be a good reason to get a PS4 eventually, but it won't cause waves immediately at release. It will just be 1 item in a collection of reasons to get into the next gen. This was the case with the first Uncharted or LBP. Neither were system sellers at launch, but they became a part of a collection of must-haves and as additional reasons to get a PS3.

It's a shame though! Cause Ben may be 100% right in his list being overall system sellers, but none of them are of *any* interest to me, not on a "system seller scale". :(

Also, developers would probably need about 2 years in advance to get their development kits for the ps4 if Sony wants any chance of them releasing at launch, and to be of quality they're known for. That means PD, Kojima, Naughty Dog, and Guerrilla would already have it by now.

GT6 will happen on the PS3, and my guess is either later 2012 or early 2013.
I honestly believe PD will blow the doors off the genre with GT6. As you stated, GT5 was a framework for the PS3 versions, and there is nothing left to do but add content.
The driving on GT5 is hands down a top level experience and is unmatched on a console. I believe it was the primary objective for GT5 and took longer to perfect after KY began racing.
GT5 is only missing a few things from making it perfect in my book, and I have a feeling that GT6 will follow GT4's footsteps.

The list is pretty good but I really don't see there being a MGS 5. 4 did a beautiful job sowing together the story. I'd also like to see new IPs from Sucker Punch and MM.
Then next year Insominiac, Santa Monica, Quantnic Dreams etc. could release their games the next year. and then you have a nice cycle of exclusives going.

I just hope they won't feel too hesitant in the future to put standard cars in the game because really with the physics of the game, it's a shame to take off hundreds away when they have a choice to port them to a reasonable level. PD has gone to an insane degree of realism in terms of details on their cars now, so sacrifices would have to be made. We can't have a thousand premiums, so if we want 1000 cars to drive, then there would have to standards.

Great point when you consider that far worse shadows and jaggies have been excused elsewhere.
daus26 -
I honestly find fault at GTPlanet. To many people there focused on the bad instead of the good, and I am willing to bet that several so called journalists used forum opinion to influence their review (reinforcing why I only come here).
UGH. The premium v. standard issue. It's a not factor to me with exception of not being able to change the wheels on the standards. On the track (where it matters) there is no difference between the premiums or standards and most of them still look better then other games on track cars. It's a dead issue really.

Unless Sony will be subsidizing the game, there is no way I can see a MGS5 being exclusive to a Sony platform and simpily because Konami as a whole(which include KP) seem to be moving away from the whole idea of plaform exclusives. A good example of this stem from the fact Kojima is considering a MGS game for the Wii U.

As for MGS though, I don't think it will remains exclusive. I'm hopeful it does, but I just don't see it happening the way things are going.

What I would like to see is GT6:Prologue arrive on the PS3 and and then GT6 come as a Lunch title.
Uncharted 4 would just be amazing launch title, Can't amazing how beautiful it will preform and look on the new tech. Naughty Dog is/should be working on a new IP or old PS title like Crash or something for the PS3 and then start on U4 for the PS4.
KillZone 4 I think Guerrilla should be working on a new IP as well. With Sony's studios working on new IPs they will reach out to those who haven't bought a PS3 jump in. Because everyone who want's to buy one for these games already own one.
And Finally but differently not least! MGS5 This game and GT6 have the best chances of being launch titles for the PS4. But one thing has to happen and is almost guaranteed but not certain, It has to be a exclusive. The Collection is going to the 360, which makes no since unless your going multiplat which scares me. MGS:Rising, which I absolutely hate, mainly because it's going to the 360 but also because it is called Metal Great Solid but the game has no Solid, solid came from Solid Snake, which is not in this game at all.
Well that's what I got to say and that's how I see it.
Happy gaming all!

If we want to talk about real possibilities then I'd say multi-plat titles like CoD, NFS, Battlefield, Sports game, etc. I don't think ps3 had an exclusive title at launch day, except Motorstorm perhaps.

Maybe even a DMC 5, so we can just ignore this horrible reboot in the making. I have to admit I cant think of many as I still have a lot of expectations for the PS3,I am expecting at least one title from each main series before the next console is out.

I'd not be able to resist getting the ps4 was it for example boosting a totally new RPG from BioWare. But if it had to be well known IPs then a title like Crysis 3 would be irresistible. Or the next BioShock. Burnout Paradise 2! Ohh yesss... Or how about a Borderlands, this time as a real mmorpg!
Actually, I don't care if the new Xbox is out and can offer the exact same titles cause I just *know* I'd still prefer the Sony machine. I'd prefer everything about it: The design, the features, psn, the community, everything!
Heck I even find the green covers of the xbox games to be fugly.

KZ4 i doubt it, i cant see GG going back to the killzone series after the flop of the last 2.
sonys put so much weight behind the series, and it really has not stood up to even some of the other ps3 exclusives, let alone other titles out there!
KZ just has not gained the popularity and fanbase to warrant a continuation into the next generation.
uncharted 4 i doubt, ND always create new IPs for new consoles so id be surprised if we saw another uncharted after 3.
plus all the rumors going around that drake will be killed off and i cant see the series continuing without him.
plus ND always take their sweet time making there engines and games, so i doubt will be seeing a ND game as a launch title.
maybe a little after, but no way available at launch.
GT6 is already in development for the ps3, so i doubt it will shift to the ps4.
no way GT7 will be released as a launch title for the same reason as uncharted, kaz is a perfectionist it will take far too long to build the engine, get the game up to his standards, by then the ps4 would of been out for at least a year!
would of been much better to put reistance 4 as a launch title, especially since insomniac normally releases a game a year, and resistance was a launch title for the ps3.
i can definitely see us getting another resistance game after 3, maybe hopefully on the chimeran planet.
ok earth has lost, its in total turmoil but instead of trying to fight them off our turf why not fire off a kamikaze mission to destroy there home world, and hopefully saving ours in the process?
either that, or a R&C game.
no doubt will see a R&C game for the ps4, but there wont be 2 insomniac games available at launch so 1 or the other.
im inclined to go with resistance since 1 it was a ps3 launch title, and 2 its a more adult game and adults are the only ones who buy launch systems.
or even LAIR, yea the first did not do well but it was a fantastic concept just sadly not done well.
if done right, it could make one kick a$$ launch title!
or even HAZE, yea the first did not do well but again it was a fantastic concept, just far too buggy!
if done right, it could make one kick a$$ launch title!
or even heavenly sword 2, ok ninja theroy have said there not doing exclusive games anymore, but how many times have developers said something then done the opposite?
i rest my case!
either that, or since sony owns the IP why not get sony SM to do it?
rumors going around that there doing it for the ps3, even better!
or even syphon filter, yea theres been rumors of it being in development from just before E3 07!
so either release it for ps3, or have it as a launch title for ps4.
or even 8 days or the getaway 3.
yea they were almost finished for ps3, so either release them for ps3, or rework them for ps4.
the gamplays already in place so now all they need to do is rework the graphics and they got 2 launch titles!
RE6, yea ok RE4 and 5 were MP, yea theres rumors coming out of comicon that crapcom revealed that RE6 will be revealed at TGS, but id be better as a launch ps4 title.
crapcom dont have the time they need to rework the RE series, id much rather see this put in the incubator for a few more years.
KH3.
ok, ok, people have been BEGGING for this for years!
but come on, how long can they go on just ignoring us!?
come on $E, its time for donald and co to come back to the black beauty!!!!!!!!
........ assuming the ps4 will be black.
ok, now for the totally unrealistic, but oh god i want them games!
a new J&D game, a new crash bandicoot game helmed by naughty dog, a new manhunt game, a new medievil game, a new GEX game, a new spyro game by insomniac, a new pandemonium game, a new oddworld game, a new bugs and taz time busters game.
i wish there was a system that could run old games perfectly, and a easy way to get them.
i enjoy older game so much more then i enjoy newer ones, i mean i spent all of last night on my PSP playing bugs and taz time busters.
most fun ive had playing a game since infamous!

i bought my PS3 because i expect it to last for a long time. now every1 wants a PS4 and sony barely made back the money on these things.
as for exclusives that will launch, well i doubt any of these will b at launch if there is a new system.
but i guess it is nice to speculate

What Sony should do this time around which clearly cost them big this gen is put a good, modern graphics chip on it, and a lot more memory, to make sure that's not a bottleneck anymore...
