This seems like the worst possible time for a reveal of anything positive. Its late on a Friday (East Coast) which pushes it out of a reasonable time for most of the world and for the US its late on the Friday before a holiday weekend which means many people won't be focused on it.

Feels like a perfect time to push out some bad news that can get glossed over during the weekend, no?

Interesting. So what's your take on Sony's E3 press conference time? Must be all doom and gloom hoping nobody notices it.

I understand where you're coming from. But the only people who even care about this teaser is people like us and if it's bad news we won't forget about it over the weekend. We never do.

Well they have to tell you at some point. Better to do it now rather than at the conference.

edit: those GIFs at the top of the page are killing my browser. :(

Visuals look stunning but the game looked pretty awful last time they released some video. I hope to be impressed this time round.

Not necessarily. There's typically a Playstation stream going on Friday at 4 PM anyway. Lately it's been Towerfall, I believe. I assume this will just take the place of that normal stream. Or maybe they'll have a short segment showing this and then get back to the normal stuff.

If it's bad news, I don't think they cover that in a live stream. This is probably just a teaser for what we'll see at E3.

Ugh. A third person shooter? Who even likes those? Sony you better give me my princess crown JRPG sequel (and it better be cross buy on vita for FREE...and you better MARKET IT god your marketing is so bad!!! For example there are NO commercials for atelier totori plus vita!!!) for ps4 and you better have star Hana-chan and she better be 14 like mufasa-sama said OR it needs to come with real life dress up dLc or I am selling my console.
Pervert.

Come on you are better than this. E3 won't have overlapping conferences. Everyone knows that people will be watching no matter what so the time of day doesn't matter. Friday afternoon before a holiday isn't really the time that a company announces a significant achievement.

Fair point, but with gameplay embargos expiring next Tuesday it seems a little random to even bother throwing a small snippet in.

I bet it will be 10 secs close up blackheads then "More on E3"

Even 1 frame only will enough to hype. Sony doing it.

I have no idea what the genesis of this is. Sounds like I missed something great.

Didn't Shinobi say that not even RAD knew about today ?
I doubt that they don't even know about the delay of their own game :p
These kind of comments that makes the insiders looks bad... there is no way that RAD didn't know about today.

It is better to make no comment instead to try to make excuses with silly comments.

He's no insider, but he knows some people from RAD.
Who knows, it might be just old footage that wasn't used up until this point.
Or maybe some stuff of the E3 conference...
 
If Sony are rolling this out in the same way they have DriveClub then we'll probably see a gameplay trailer with a release date today, along with some previews. Then in the weeks up to E3 we'll get some new B-roll footage and developer interviews via the PS Youtube channel.

I wouldn't read much into this. I don't think we're going to see much. I think it's just a way of keeping the game in the minds of people. Maybe they're prepping us for a big blowout at E3 on The Order news.

Even if they use the same old gameplay as we all know from other games, that still does not mean the game will suck. They showed so little.

TR uses old gameplay, and it was awesome bacuse the whole package was balanced to be great. Same goes with new Wolfenstein, which gives me soooo much fun these days.

RAD needs to show more, they need to showcase charachters, world, scope of the game, and more gameplay. And in the end, even if they dont show as much as we want them to, end product can still be great. There is something to be said for a game PR cycle that does not spoil entire game. :D

Oh I have my skepticism, but mostly about why they are showing this now as opposed to E3. I just think reading into the timing of today's twitch stream for them trying to fly under the radar with a mediocre update is a bit much.

They are obviously hyping it up, so hopefully it delivers.

Looks like the Order.

It's also a Friday so PR 101 says this is when they'll confirm it's moved to 2015 :-(

on the west wing they said the government should always release bad news on friday because no-one watches the news on friday night or reads the papers on saturday (they wait for sunday) so you can sneak it out

but i think the opposite is true in videogames, which get discussed online and for fun (as opposed to work in following politics). if you announce bad news on a friday, nothing happens till monday morning at the earliest so it dominates the vacuum over the weekend, then gets another burst on monday morning when oulets write opinion pieces about what this meeeans

Indeed. Even COD:AW got "leaked" on Friday and was scheduled to be unveiled Sunday.

That being said, I'm expecting the worst and believe this game is getting delayed to 2015.
