Weekend Confirmed 153 - PlayStation 4 announcements, Year Walk, Crysis 3
by Jeff Mattas, Feb 22, 2013 11:00am PSTThe PlayStation 4 has been announced, so it shouldn't be a surprise that this week's episode of Weekend Confirmed is all about the new system, services, and software. Though Jeff Cannata is away in Barcelona, Garnett Lee and "Indie" Jeff Mattas are joined by Christian Spicer and Mike Schramm to break down what's exciting, what's concerning, and that which is still unknown about Sony's next-gen console announcements. Though PlayStation 4 is this week's focus, the crew also manages to sneak in some impressions of Crysis 3, and praise for Simogo's moody iOS adventure, Year Walk. Of course, a fresh batch of Finishing Moves brings it all home.

1. The main reason Sony hasn't changed the controller through 3, now 4, cycles is that a lot of people like the controller the way it is. Why piss them off by doing what Microsoft has done? It's not like they haven't tried a 360 controller to know whether they like it or not.
2. Sony's stock actually rose after the press conference.
3. I think you might be confusing the press conference Sony just had with an E3 press conference. I don't think that event was just for gamers. The way it was structured it felt like it was aimed as much at developers and publishers as it was gamers.
4. Speaking of my last point Sony still has GDC and E3 to talk about the PS4. By getting ahead of those events it allows developers to freely talk about the games they're currently working on for the next generation while also giving Sony the time to say, "hey that shit we were talking about at our event listen to these developers tell you how awesome it is and that it actually works." Also you know Sony will mention all that non gaming stuff at E3.

Rest your thumbs over your other fingers and move them as if on a stick. Now flex your thumb above your index finger and try to do the same thing. Its harder. The sticks of the dual shock are placed based on where your thumb has the greatest range of movement. If you consider the fact that the aiming stick (the one that you have to move the most) on the 360 controller is in the same location essentially, you see what I mean.
