In the original definition of parties, the second one is you. Meaning there is some kind of relation between you and the console manufacturer, and then there are third party entities providing something for this ecosystem, too.

visuals as detailed, it could be whatever aesthetic the team wants, but man, it's kinda hard going back to finish up the DLC for BB after playing Horizon. They nailed the art, but the frame-rate is so clunky at times, it's weird they are running on the same machine.

This is true, but how it's used in the gaming industry is really false. I think someone stated in an interview the Kinda Funny staff used it with Yoshida and he didn't know what they were talking about.
It's just third party developers making first party games. Sony either owns the IP or doesn't. If they do, it's first party, simple as that.

Yeah, Shu said there is no second party.

I think From produces some of the most beautiful games in the industry from an artistic perspective and although I'd like their games to have better visuals I don't think it's necessary. If they can just get their games to a stable 30fps I'd be happy, although overall I didn't have many issues with frame rate dips in my playthroughs.

They have nothing..Nothing!!
Sony's has had a different vibe for their E3 presentation the last couple of years. I was thinking they should revisit a theme that they did back during the PS3 era, and use media molecule's game to present. Instead of sales figures, use Dreams as an intro into your game announcements. So say you open the conference with a demo/gameplay of Dreams. Here we see some depth of what the game is. Then, for example, it segues into a 5 to 10 second intro for Spiderman using Dreams' tools. Just some artistic way of capturing what lies ahead.. kinda of what you might see at MTV video awards when they announce the nominees. Maybe they go literal and create a scene where he's swinging or something;or go more abstract, and just show a spider on a web. The latter allows the audience a few minutes to kind of guess what's coming. You do this throughout the conference. Once folks kinda catch on, they'll be guessing what's next . And it'll really throw them for a loop when a new IP shows up as the clue will have no relevance to them. It gives Sony a twist on their conference and its a nice way of showcasing Dreams. Just an idea...Was going to make a thread about it but I didn't think a thread of some random idea I had was thread-worthy.
Fill me in, what is the not so secret stuff coming from XDev this year? WipEout Collection is one of them?
LittleBigPlanet 4 shadow drop at E3.
WipEout Collection, WiLD, Matterfall. They used to be the producers of the Quantic Dream games for Sony as well, but Im not sure they are doing that for Detroit too
Thanks, I doubt the latter two are this year, so not much announced coming from them soon.

Maybe not thread worthy, but a really good idea. It reminds me of the first time they demo'ed Until Dawn at an event and the audience was screaming which choice to make. I would love a Dreamed based E3, where in-engine they preview the next trailer, I bet the audience would be guessing after the first one like you said. I'll tweet it to Shu.

Once it was announced I long since said they should bait and switch with a dreams trailer. Have it be a bunch of Sony ips and have ppl not really into dreams wondering what the hell is going on. It would blow minds
DriftingSpirit

It would be creative but they would have to nail it. Otherwise, people will just shit on it. Heck, people would probably shit on it regardless lol. It would probably put respek on Dreams' name though.
Hey cool..I don't use Twitter, so that's really nice of you.
I wonder how long that would take them. Recreating another game within a game has to be difficult...And to really have it pass as something else...Tall order.

Indeed it would have to be in a comical way instead of serious as well
Yeah. Everything you do on that E3 stage needs to be executed well...Whenever you're putting your product(s) out there, you need to have your best foot forward.

I've said this before, but I really hope Sony opens their conference with an orchestra again. Just imagine a re-interpretation of the Bloodborne theme for a sequel announcement <3
Yeah, I'm hoping for an orchestra too.
Also, if this music randomly came up in the middle, it would be super hype for me. Even though it'd be for a remaster.
Triggerhappytel
Member
Yeah, the orchestra was brilliant. I'd love to see that again to accompany the Bloodborne 2 reveal.

Can anyone remember any teases or something from PSX that could be expanded on at E3? Seems like they've had clues in December then megatons in June that were related to each other:
PSX 2014 - FF7 bait'n'switch
E3 2015 - FF7 Remake announced
PSX2015 - Crash Bandicoot t-shirt
E3 2016 - Crash remakes announced
PSX2016 - ?
Maybe a brand new Wipeout?
PSX 2014 - FF7 bait'n'switch

Yes the orchestra needs to come back.
Like another user here already mentioned
Just imagine Aeriths Theme from FF7 played by the orchestra, before we got to see a new trailer for the Remake

Do it SONY!

So you don't think Spider-Man is a Sony first party game then?
I'd argue that if a first party owns the IP OR the publishing rights, it's a first party game. So Microsoft may not own the Sunset Overdrive IP but it's still a first party game because Microsoft owns the publishing rights to that game. Insomniac can't even port it to PC without Microsoft's permission. Same thing goes with Sony and the original Crash and Spyro trilogies on PS1.
PSX2016 - Japan Studios logo flashes on screen only for Knack 2 to be revealed
E32017 - Japan Studios logo flashes on screen but this time a AAA JRPG is announced.
It seemed like they just stopped doing that cycle (tease at PSX, reveal at E3) and skipped directly to revealing the Wipeout remaster at PSX. I don't think a new Wipeout game is going to be happening. Unless the remaster sells really well.

They are going to announce more than one new big exclusive. When has output ever been that low?

PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!
Sony choosing to reveal The Last Of Us Part 2 at PSX is telling imo
They know people are expecting another megaton year of dreams from them and having the TLOU Part 2 announcement at E3 would have helped with that tremendously.
But they revealed it at PSX instead.
I think it's because they are already confident they have enough megatons at E3 to blow people away and that is very exciting.
It's not proof obviously but it seems likely the reason they didn't save TLOU Part 2 for E3

I think it is was that and because they wanted to legitimize PSX. The event can't be passed off as minor anymore. E3 will obviously be the place where the majority of the big announcements happen but I think PSX is relevant in that regard as well.
But yeah, Sony got enough ammo to go around for both events. Sony gonna bring that hype.

Well, new announcement or not...without a doubt, its going to be another mind blowing conference.

Oh I wish. Would be perfect as cartoonish goofy souls
But at this point I hardly believe. They had pitches and tried to make original MediEvil games for PS2, PS3 and even PS4 but they never went to full production, so Im not getting any hopes up for it sadly...

I'd love that too, in case you haven't watched this yet:

It's not close enough. You have no idea how much Assassin's Creed withdrawal I'm dealing with right now. That year off and the lack of a reveal leak by now is killing me.
Omnistalgic
Member
Yeah, I would just add that clause in, own the IP or publishing rights. It gets tricky with business, but the point is second party isn't really a thing at all.
keltickennedy

My bet is that we will see it revealed in Game Informer shortly before E3.
Good point, but they just announced so many games that I can't imagine what else they could announce. New Supermassive exclusive? Agent revival?
Agreed. I get the excitement for new announcements but just based on what we know about, there's enough to keep a PS4 owner happy through the end of 2018.

FROM exclusive
Don't worry Sucker Punch will show that there's still great stuff coming beyond 2018
Right there with ya. Excited too see what the Black Flag team does.
