Oh this episode of Destructoid is brought to you by Lumosity coming up on his truck toy dragon age inquisition gets a release window minecraft is a ps4 launch title and there’s a whole lot of other news coming out of gamescom which is happening right now all that more right now on Destructoid

Welcome to Destructoid I’m Tara long and I’m max Scoville happy Tuesday max happy Tuesday Tara it’s it’s benim got it was Tuesday actually we’re watching this press conference morning there was so much stuff happening and I was like well what are we gonna do now and it’s like

We have to shoot the shower [ __ ] yeah it does so more like a Wednesday also yeah I don’t know why no feel it in my bones but you’re right we we did have a bunch of press conferences and news to come out of games come this week kicked off

In Germany the first one was of course for Microsoft who finally released their list of launch titles for the xbox one that’s been a long time coming there are 23 in total including some that we already knew about of course I call of duty ghosts and assassins creed 4 wash

Dogs etc we also expect to see dead rising 3 Crimson Dragon the follow-up to the Panzer Dragoon series lococycle Lego Marvel Super Heroes peggle 2 zoo tycoon which I am unabashedly excited for and fighter within which is Ubisoft’s new Kinect fighting game that I’m sure will be interesting anyway there’s a full

List of launch games up on Destructoid com if you want to check them out we’ve also got some news about exclusive content including an announcement for fable legend lion heads new four player online co-op game where you can play as either the hero or the villain it’s

Another game in the cable series what do you want I don’t know Ubisoft’s the division is also set to get some exclusive content for the xbox one along with fifa 14 which is gonna have an exclusive ultimate team mode available only to xbox one users more exciting

News there is that all Xbox when pre-orders in Europe are going to come with a free copy of FIFA port and that’s them going after the European my right that’s actually a really great deal because people are so into fifa that you only lasts while supplies last so I

Don’t know that they have 15 copies and set aside for the first thing and people who pre-order another big topic that they addressed at their conference was so publishing for Indies which is of course been a hot topic lately this is all going to be handled under their new

Independent developers at Xbox or ID at Xbox program eventually the goal here is to make it so that any Xbox one console can be used as a dev kit so anyone can publish their own game theoretically that’s probably a long ways off so in the meantime all developers accepted

Into the ID at Xbox program are going to receive two free dev kits and access to all the same tools and support that current xbox developers have which is nice they’re also going to be able to set the whole wholesale price for all games they publish while Microsoft is in

Charge of setting the retail price presumably after adding their own markup i’m not sure what the difference is between those we asked for a comment and the response that we got was sort of nebulous so it’s a little up in the air still microsoft also made it a point to

Note that any developers who publish through idx box will retain a hundred percent control over their intellectual property which is just good PR on their part this full program is scheduled to launch this fall but applications are being accepted right now at xbox calm / ID unfortunately not everyone is going

To be able to be accommodated for when the program launches in fall so developers with a proven track record of shipping games on pc console or mobile are going to be granted first priority and they’ll slowly let people in overtime what’s your games do get published microsoft says that they will

Be much easier for consumers to find all games are going to now be displayed in the same area on the xbox dashboard so no separate section for Indies and there’s also going to be a spotlight section that showcases editors picks as well as a recommendation engine for

Users to find new games which is something that i think is uh sorely missing that’s not right that sounds promising I’m excited to see ya there I was actually pretty impressed with their showing no no not games wise but no hardware wise stuff yeah I didn’t even have been even stream their press

Conference yeah see how Microsoft they stay said some stuff at Gamescom is as Tara just pointed out and that’s cool but then Sony said some other stuff and everyone got way more excited probably because they actually live stream their press conf yeah those things just want

To talk about that way with so many being these sultry teases that they are the first volley of announcements at the presser were about the ps3 a thing that’s been out for eight years most notably that the 12 gig model will be getting a price cut to two hundred bucks

Which is pretty cool if you never got a ps3 or in the market for a cheap blu ray player on top of that Gran Turismo 6 will be hit december six which I guess someone somewhere is excited about who really likes cars and they also announced that

Little big planet hub would be coming which is a little big planet platformer free to play it’s a little big planet but you Bible outfits like yes I neuron that seems like something they’ve been kind of been moving towards for a while I’m curious to see how it pans out now

Moving on to the exciting stuff the ps3 wasn’t the only thing to get a price cut the PlayStation Vita has been permanently reduced to two hundred bucks as well which is just really great news all around these I don’t know why but I’ve been thinking it was two hundred

Dollars this whole time I was on sale at like Amazon like earlier this week yeah I heard about that oh yeah anyway a whole whole ton of video titles were announced one of the biggest surprises being Borderlands 2 which Randy Pitchford mentioned but again he occasionally says things so it took it

With a grain of salt um a whole of indie games are gonna Gotham got love to a game called Murasaki baby was revealed which is a kind of Tim burton-esque touch screen platformer by the Italian studio OVO sonoco and then there was a huge massive pile of indie games that

Were announced as cross by titles for the Vita and ps4 including rogue legacy hotline Miami 2 wrong number plumbiers upcoming game wasteland kings Helldivers which is from the guy stated magica and then Binding of Isaac rebirth all of this is pretty exciting you know some of

These have been out on you go PC for a while but now they’re coming out for you know Vita and be on ps4 of course we also going to look at the Remote Play functionality of the Vita during a demo of assassins creed 4 in which the full

Console game can just be played through the Vita while your TV is being used for other presumably more boring stuff and apparently that is a feature that’s going to be available on quote unquote almost all ps4 titles so basically the same idea as the wii u except sony

Actually plans on releasing games for their system oh I haven’t really talked about a TS border stuff and this has been going for a while Tara talk about something else when a restaurant okay I will moving away from big three for a moment EA also had a presence at

Gamescom this year so I cherry picked a few stories from that but I thought you guys might enjoy first up dragon age inquisition has been given not quite a release date but a release window of fall 2014 which is quite a ways off I was expecting that a little

Bit earlier so that’s a little shocking we also got a new trailer to go for that showing off some of the game story elements it also includes a brand new hero and a much more open world to go with it they talk about that in the

Trailer so if you want to see that check it out we also got some details on battlefield 4 whose beta is set to roll out this October yay spent some time talking about l’évolution which is the new feature they’re implementing that lets you manipulate certain aspects of

Maps to your advantage like for example you could cut off the power to a building and then switch to night vision things like that strategic things they also revealed plans to include amphibious vehicles with a hard phrase and a new mode called obliteration where a single neutral bomb will spawn in a

Random location and then you can use that to destroy an enemy held objective which is pretty neat perhaps the most surprising news to come from EA had very little to do with games actually and everything to do with their business policies which are a sore topic for

Anyone who’s ever had to deal with their user support well starting today EA is going to begin offering full refunds on all digital games purchased through origin as long as the request for refund is submitted within seven days of purchase within 24 hours of launching the game or if you pre-ordered it within

Seven days of its release date whichever of those happens to come first the only exclusion is that this is limited to full EA games so things like DLC are going to be covered but still it’s nice to see EA following and Microsoft’s footsteps even if the policy was

Admittedly shitty to begin with man that’s that’s what that see that see that goes you know yeah I mean I’m sure some people will pay had some that to a pretty baffling experiences with origin yeah they have and I could see some people just like trying to power through

A game and beat it in 24 hours and you get a reef in refund just to stick it to EA that’ll be interesting yeah anyway back to the ps4 cuz we want to talk about the ps4 run up to bat at sony’s press conference we got a look at the

New interface and the ability to hop in and out of games which is sort of exciting and boring at the same time the press conf or just started off with like a dude just like sitting on a chair and I was like do they know the cameras are on gonna

Sit there playing the game the nice change is the it’s not quite the cross media bar things in a ps3 and it looks like it’s very super responsive so that’s cool but again it’s the kind of thing you kind of have to you know use

For yourself feel for but hey it’s a new thing to look at with our eyes so that’s cool we also got to see some Killzone shadow fall multiplayer in action which features customizable war zones so you can like tweak the rules of the game type and share with your friends and

Shoot guns and stuff in addition to that we got new trailers for infamous second son as well as watchdogs which oh by the way is going to be turned into a feature film in a joint effort between Ubisoft and Sony Pictures so I imagine that’s really exciting for all the diehard fans

Of watch dogs out there you know that game that isn’t out yet meanwhile playroom the funky I toy / PlayStation Move happy action theater type of game will be coming pre-installed on all ps4 S though it requires a PlayStation Eye to play it I’m sold separately pretty sneaky Sony pretty sneaky again though

The really exciting stuff that was being shown off at the ps4 was more of the unusual indie content the games and stuff that would get to look at that are new the triple-a stuff is kind of underwhelming the Chinese room the studio behind dear Esther tease their

New game everybody has gone to the rapture which is a post-apocalyptic first-person adventure game running in CryEngine 3 which looks downright beautiful and it’s nice to see a post-apocalyptic game where things are just really quiet as opposed to really ruined yeah meanwhile tequila works whose last game deadlight was something

Of a mess revealed rhyme which looks like eco meets winwaker meets Nino Cooney and I would like to play it soon please the old amiga series shadow of the beast which apparently a lot of people in addition to me had never heard of before according to twitter that’s

Being rebooted which is a game where you’re like a beast and you have shadows presumably resogun is a new shoot-’em-up from the guys who did super stardust and guns of Icarus online which is the crazy steampunk first-person shooter where you ride around in big airships and have

Goggles that’ll be coming too and then there’s n plus plus X equal to n plus which will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive later this winter and I know a lot of people are really excited about that in spite of fact that it looks like a flash game you

Be quiet now ya know I’ve watched friends play that game for hours yeah I know that game is like crack I just I so got it so bad but it’s really fun anyway the the really big announcement minecraft is gonna be a ps4 launch title

Oh and hey it’s also coming to ps3 and Vita so yeah I don’t know what happened with the exclusivity deal they had with Microsoft but it’s been exclusive on the xbox 360 for over a year now and all right well I’m shirts de cerdo and now a

Whole lot of kids went out and decided they wanted to push a meat is so sony also had some cool little tidbits about the ps4 it is going to have twitch TV support and streaming your game will be as simple as hitting the share button

And I mean that’s I they have that in addition to ustream I guess which is which is quite be cool to see how to implement that you know I think that I I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some some schmoozing and maybe money changing

Hands over that I know cuz that was the big thing that Microsoft seem to have the edge on and then Sony you thought we have twitch to W yeah def major also everyone who buys a ps4 will get a free 14-day trial of PlayStation Plus what

Yeah that’s cool I mean they do that I think I good day ice cream anyway so they do that anyway maybe it’s a seven day trial or something yeah but hey that’s cool so you can you can check that out get some free games and play

Around with it and then of course the big reason for this press conference was to announce the PlayStation 4’s release date which is November 15th in North America and November 29th in Europe so there you go let’s get excited I just spouted off a whole lot of information
