Man, I'm worried God of War 4 will not be shown at E3. The design director was on a long ass trip to Italy just now. Surely they would be crunching hard for the showing by this time, no?

It was playable as recently as PSX, I highly doubt it.
Alongside Wattam, Hexa's list is also missing Tumble VR from Supermassive Games.
I don't think Sony's publishing Golem or Secret Sorcery's project (both sound like they have exclusive deals but are self-published), so you can remove them.
Other things I'd mention are Queasy Games, FromSoftware and Novarama, since they're all probably working with Sony on something (especially Queasy, who have one more game left on their three game contract).

Some places do things right. Or, does it need to be playable to be announced?

North West Studio is listed twice.

We will most likely be seeing it, but if the PS4k and Horizon delay stories are true, I highly doubt it would be out by fall 2017 and might be a Q1 2018 title.
I'm personally keeping my expectations low and expecting at least their announced exclusive games to be out by the end of 2017, such as GT: Sport, Horizon and Detroit. Maybe that Bend game if it ever gets announced.
Best wishes.

I doubt Sony would just show a title teaser at this point. They might go full-on and do a Horizon-style unveiling for the game. Lets see.

Well they were my two simple explanations for how the design director being in Italy, might have nothing to do with it not being at E3.
Firstly, not every studio relies heavily on crunch. Although I'll admit, I don't think SSM is one.
Secondly, if it's not playable or demo-able, and they just show footage, there is less crunch.
I expect a GOW3 like teaser and then a reveal at PSX.

I didn't realise Matterfall was an XDEV game - assumed it was an internal project for which they owned the IP. Interested to see more though - the concept looked cool, and their voxel work on Resogun was amazing.
Also, I don't recall hearing about that Modern Zombie Taxi Co. Will have to look it up. Might have just got lost in the noise of bigger announcements.
If it's not shown at E3 I think it will definitely be at PSX. Either way, it's going to be the big centrepiece of one of their conferences, and I'm expecting a 2017 release personally.
I hope that is taken as the template for all of their reveals in the future. I want to see reveals with a few minutes of gameplay footage.

Hmm, not sure if a 2017 release for GoW4 will be likely. Maybe a late 2017 release? Even so, it should be shown at this E3 if it's going to come out next year.
Late 2017 or early 2018 probably. Leaning towards early 2018 given Sony's recent aversion (for good reasons) to releasing big AAA first/second party games in the holidays. Probably in March considering every console GoW has come out in that month.

I'm going to stick with GoW4 for March 2017.

I'd expect June 2017 as they already have Horizon for March if rumours of delay is true.

I was gonna say feb for horizon and March for gow but they may not have two huge games like that so close to each other and split marketing dollars. So maybe March for horizon and June for gow like you say
I would bet that too. Game has been in development since Barlog came back. They might even promote alongside PS4K/NEO if they dont start selling this year.

Nerdleaks found some concept art for what looks like a western game. In the bottom of the pics it says ''Copyright of Sony Computer Entertainment''. ''Days Gone'' maybe?
Interesting. Someone dig into that website and the name.
The trademark has been dropped for a while and was never renewed. Adding that to the absence of the game on SMS page, now I do fear that this game might been dropped.
Let it go.
Yeah nah it wont be. Probably better that way.

It's odd though that it was dropped in October but the game still showed up at PSX 2015 in December as a Sony title.
Edit: Err, rather, searching USPTO says it was abandoned in September that year, so even earlier.

It won't be. Judging from the gta v sales, Rockstar would lose a lot of money if they make a deal like that for Sony. Also, Rockstar will ask for a lot of money.

It's almost as if Sony has a history of accidentally letting their trademarks expire prior to release and this is just another example.

What if $100 bills fell from the sky???
I hope Sony really push Gravity Rush 2 this E3. If it's still releasing this year have a nice stage demo or at least trailer with the release date at the end. Ideally releasing around August-September. If GR2 flops the future is not looking good for the IP so hopefully they will give it a decent push, and release it in a somewhat quiet time where it can get the spotlight.

The only way I could see that happening is as a favour from Rockstar to Sony in exchange for Agent going down the shitter. Otherwise, no chance. I can't imagine the amount of money it would take to buy a Rockstar game's exclusivity these days.
It's Sony. GR will stealth release a week before PS4k or PSVR and bomb. They couldn't even be arsed to release the remaster at retail, for god's sake. Savour GR2 while you can because it is the last you'll be seeing from Kat.

There's very little chance of that happening, Very few Japanese games gets the spotlight in SCEA/SIEA conferences, TLG was more of an exception because of its special situation.
I think they are at least smart enough to know to release it in a quiet time of year for game releases. An impressive showing in their E3 conference and good release timing could save the IP. There's also the anime they are making for it (which is no doubt very expensive) so maybe they will get behind GR a lot more this time, let's hope so.
They give the spotlight to a lot of indie games in their E3 pressers so I don't see why they wouldn't give it to a significantly costly first party developed game. I think there will be a trailer for sure.

They wanted more then a month after the Japanese announcement to post a confirmation that the game will release in North America on the PSBlog. They don't see it as a priority or an important games in my opinion.
They don't see it as a priority but if it's coming this year they will have a trailer in the conference IMO. I'm just hoping they make it a good trailer, don't release it in a terrible time and give it some decent marketing when it releases (especially if Horizon and GT Sport are delayed and they have few retail exclusives to market).

A game based on Sucker Punch the movie would be better.

Puppeteer, Rain and more were debuted at SCE western shows.
My biggest disappointment for Ni no Kuni 2 was the lack of details following PSX, despite the original announcement being planned for E3.
I'm curious how far away from release Ni no Kuni 2 is... I'm guessing mid-late 2017. Hopefully we see some more of it (with gameplay) at this E3.

Those two were announced at Gamescom a SCEE/SIEE show, I was specifically talking about the SCEA/SIEA shows.
I do give you Ni No Kuni 2 though, forgot about it. It might show up and PSX since it's a bit more smaller in scope and others Japanese games were announced and/or localized there, I just don't think will see GR2 at E3.

Speculation is that he's referring to Gran Turismo Sport as this was posted on GTplanet and Jordan (the guy that runs the site and has tight connections with Polyphony) "liked" the post. Rumor is that its been shown around recently and we've now got confirmation that Polyphony has been inviting GT Academy participants to London for an event that starts on May 18th and runs through the 20th.

It's all about that money. You can't expect them to promote a game that didn't sell well and was on a dead handheld. Unrealistic IMO. Gravity Rush 2 could be a great VR game though...

It must have sold somewhat well or we would not be getting a sequel.

Source?
Even before the game released on Vita they wanted it to be a digital only game in the west, people had to beg for it to release at retail, one of their most interesting games in the Vita's launch window.
They didn't have big expectation for it from the very beginning.
