TPA not on Sony's PS4 launch lineup list...

[pseudokings]

As the thread title says, TPA is not on Sony's PS4 launch lineup list, debuted at GamesCom. Saw another list that has it in the "launch window" of between Nov. 15 (or 29th for our European friends) and the end of March... which sounds eerily familiar to me of a version I've basically given up on/moved on from, that still hasn't see the light of day (cough*WiiU*cough). Now I realize something as important to their company longevity as the PS4 version will not suffer the same limbo-hell state that that version has, but I do worry that given FS track record with delays/launches, and all that new work involved in doing the PS4 versions right, that we may be in for a lot more of a wait than we'd prefer to admit.

Anyone at FS want to speak up and calm the concerns of the fanbase with something more than "as close to launch as we can manage"? That sure would be a nice surprise.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Would be nice to get some kind of confirmation.

I'd really like to have a better date since I preordered the Killzone pack fom Amazon to get it right away. My main reason for getting a PS4 right now is TPA. If they're not within a month or so of launch, I'd cancel the preorder and just wait for a $400 version when it's available.

I guess I should have used the term Day 1, or Launch Day, which is not confirmed in the Sony press release, just before Dec. 31. Feel high and mighty if you must, but my core point is still relevant. Six weeks is a better timeframe to work within that 4 1/2 months, but it still isn't that same as "we'll have it available on Day 1". It's also a lot more likely for something to slip off the list of "launch frame" titles into "release date: TBA" status, than a Day 1 title.

The comment you made in bold was unecessary and the title of this thread clearly states "TPA not on Sony's PS4 launch lineup list..." which is untrue and misleading.

Sony decides what games are day 1 title, not FS. I think the fact that Sony had TPA in their booth shows that the aren't likely to back burner the game.

Game over, man. Game over.

From FB: "We're a launch title for PS4 on November 15th, we're excited about that and hope that you are too."

Incredible news does that include the European launch or is it a worldwide release?

Excellent. Bravo to FS for telling us, instead of making us wait and wonder. Thread dead as far as I'm concerned.

According to latest PS blog, TPA has been scratched off (literally) from the list of launch day releases and there is no date set for future release. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/30/ps4-the-ultimate-faq-north-america/

Well, that's a bummer.....

This is already under discussion in the Launch Countdown thread.

I recon Sony asked them to update the textures.

I doubt it. Sony does not concern itself with how a game looks. When they test a game its to make sure that the game is compliant with the technical aspects of the console. That it won't corrupt anything, make it crash, that its compatible with all available peripherals. It would be more likely to go be rejected because the share function wasn't implemented correctly or something along those lines. Also Bobby has confirmed that they are using textures that are higher resolution than the PS3 version. Finally, Sony would not have featured TPA at E3 if they didn't like how it looked.

I think you contradicted yourself a little there--and you were right to do so. ; ) And yeah I don't think texture resolution would be why they would delay it.

By concern I mean that Sony would not hold up approval for textures. However, if someone disagreed with that hypothesis you would know that Sony likes the look of the game or they wouldn't have featured it in their booth.
