Not excited about the Sony announcement. I have a PC.

Still,  a steampunk IP announcement is interesting...

EA games don't need to have multiplayer. Plenty of them don't, they need an online component which can be all manner of crap like leaderboards. Also VR wouldn't work to well. There trying to do unique VR experiences then just slapping VR onto everything as is.

Also would be hilarious for them to lead with MP details before we have any information about the 'actual' base game lol. If it's MP related I'll be happy and also find it extremely amusing they would lead with that. Though I'd love a beta announcement.

Watch it just end up being an announcement that ME:A will be available on the new PS console. 

Gives me an idea. Maybe they'll announce the ME equivalent of the DA Keep? Like "Keep your saves and choices from PS4 and even other platforms, like Bioware does with the N7 Database (or w/e) and the up and coming Mass Effect Andromeda!" They have to announce it at some point and, while cool, its not exactly an announcement worth a spot at comic con.

I remember the false alarms before Trespasser's announcement. I remember being deliberately hyped up by tweets in anticipation for a big announcement of what the final DLC would be like and it ended up being something really stupid. I can't recall the details now. Just that the oh-so-hyped announcement ended up being something we'd already known about or been able to assume beforehand and had nothing to do with Trespasser. Huge letdown. So, I'm trying to contain my enthusiasm here.

It is entirely possible. Though MEA is it's own fresh start, a reboot with out rebooting anything. I definitely 100% think they 'should' do that for future Mass Effect titles past Andromeda though that's for sure. I think it's less buggy and awkward then having to read save files and all that. I also personally enjoy going over it and making all the choices for a specific world state to bring in and not having to worry about my past actual games mattering as much.

Though ehh, while It wouldn't directly get used by MEA it would be a good thing to have in place to collect choices made so it exists ahead of time for the next title whenever that ends up being.

I'm only here to see a new developers trailer.
I want new images of developers developing any game.
New IP: The Development

Game Dev simulator?

Yah, Sony is launching their Playstation VR periphery in october.

No, well not entirely? PC has it's own line of stuff that's recently come out. Sony has it's own VR (Playstation VR) which works with PS4 and there next thing PS4 neo or whatever the balls they call it. Xbox isn't doing their own VR thing as they feel the ones coming out on PC are already doing that. So XB1 Scorpio will just end up supporting those instead of having it's own thing.

One good/bad thing about PS-VR is it's kinda the low-ball entry. It's cheaper then the PC options and works on a console that's ultimately cheaper then any PC you could possibly make and actually manage any semblance of VR. So if there is anything that might get the proverbial ball rolling on a wider consumer market for VR thaaaat'll be it.

Cause right now? Right now doing anything in VR requires a butt ton of money. You need a solid computer to manage it properly and then the VR headsets that run you half what you dished out for that PC lol.
