October...damn I hope that pans out.
Just for the sake of clarity (and fun!), here are my full predictions for Sony's first party announcements throughout the year:
E3
- Guerrilla: Horizon
- Bend: New IP
- SCEJ: Gravity Rush
Gamescom
- Cambridge: Killzone or Resistance
- Media Molecule: New IP
TGS
- Polyphony: Gran Turismo 7
PSX
- Santa Monica: God of War project
I'm not expecting Quantic Dream's game until next year. Also not expecting The Last Guardian at all even though we know it's coming. I just don't have enough faith in it to actually expect it haha.

I too would not understand a COD co marketing deal when you already have Destiny and Battlefront.
I'd totally get Acti going platform agnostic on COD though.
Persona strikes me as the type of game that'll perform well no matter when it's released. That's because the fanbase is extremely loyal and it caters to a crowd that's been hungry in recent years. I also expect a great critical reception which will help drive sales and maintain legs for months. It should be fine

Naughty Dog - crazy UC4 setpeice demo.
Team Japan - SCEJ X level 5 collab maybe. hino even confirmed he'll be at e3, whether its for sony or some other pub is to be seen.
--Team Gravity & Team Ico - nope to both. kat and katbird will both be missing.
Polyphony Digital - maybe, could be something thats not even a game. concept/vision GT like stuff.
Sony Bend - doubt it, too early.
Santa Monica - CG trailer at best. hinting at the setting.
Sucker Punch - no.
Guerrilla Games , Guerilla Cambridge - GG yes, GG cambridge, no.
Media Molecule - yes.
Sony London - LOL
Quantic Dream - maybe. depends on whether they have an all american A-lister starcast again. otherwise gamescom
Rad: yes, the order dlc. i hope so.

I imagine Sony will reveal whatever fancy fall thing Destiny has planned, I can't see them having both Destiny and COD reveals
I haven't followed The Last Guardian like some folks but I kind of expect it to be there. I doubt I'd play it but it'd be an awesome reveal to watch
I also think it'd be a huge waste of time in a conference that is sure to be full of wasted time

Man oh man, what would I do for another Dark Cloud game, or better yet, a direct sequel for Dark cloud 2 (akaark Chronicle in pal regions).I truly adored the Max and Monica in that game and would love to see them again along with the world Level 5 crafted. As I recall, Sony re-registered the Dark Chronicle trademark in japan last year. Sure, trademark renewals aren't a strong proof that it'll most likely to happen, but hey, you never know.

there is one thing that people are missing in terms of sony's strategy...
that is, more first party games but not with first party studios.
to sony, there are no second party bullcrap. there are only first party games (games they publish) and 3rd party games.
so something like heavy rain, etc.
we are now seeing games like rime, rapture, wattam, order 1886, bloodborne, until dawn, tomorrow children, etc.
that is what i expect from sony this e3. collaboration in one way or another with developer studios to make first-party games.

interesting. If that means that I can get CoD DLC at the same time as Xbox that is good with me.

The Last Guardian is officially announced as cancelled, and they roll out Team Ico's new project, due Fall 2016
They have an incredible amount of stuff to announce.
This is basically the time when all the developers jump on the winner bandwagon and tons of games for PS4 are in development.
But keep in mind that they have announcements at Gamescon and TGS to make as well so E3 won't get all the love.
I guess that what we can expect from western studios is:
New Uncharted 4 demo + Uncharted Collection announcement
New Ratchet&Clank PS4 game with a release date this year
Guerrilla announcing their new IP Horizon
Bend announcing their new horror game.
Quantic Dream annoucing its new PS4 game (seems like they confirmed their presence at E3)
God of War 4 small teaser (don't expect gameplay, they're not ready for that yet, PSExperience in December will get the first gameplay trailer).
But it's Japan studio which could make the biggest announcements and steal the show for Sony with:
Gran Turismo 7 announcement trailer
Collaboration with Level 5 for a new PS4 RPG (which is confirmed to be announced at E3)
Bloodborne getting more love with an official DLC expansion.
Gravity Rush 2 with Gravity Rush remaster for PS4 announcement.
Clap Hanz showing actual PS4 footage of their new Sports Resort game (the game was announced last year at E3 but development was very early and they had nothing to show).
The Last Guardian, yeah people will joke about this but honestly it's time, game can't be in development forever, just like FFXV it will be unveiled again after a long silence and probably the release date is sooner than we all expect.
Then third parties announcements and demos (Batman, MGSV and Star Wars Battlefront will be there in some form).
Square Enix might announce something exclusive like FFXII HD.
Indies and other third parties surprises of course will be there.

It's not something that they would specifically mention during the reveal, but there should be a clue somewhere in the trailer or marketing afterwards about who has co-marketing. This is how the last two CoD games were unveiled
Advanced Warfare - Starts by pointing out that it's Xbox One footage
Ghosts - Reveal at Xbox One unveiling
The pre-order page will also be telling based on which platform they choose as the default. So we should know who has co-marketing next Sunday.
They have two exclusive RPG's at least confirmed to be there.
Western RPG by Guerrila and JRPG by Level 5. Variety will be there once again.
For COD? For sure.

I keep forgetting Sony Bend exist.
They seem like they should be ready to announce something at this stage. Uncharted GA was a long ass time ago. I know their Vita follow up to that game was canned but that also must have happened at least 2 years ago now.

All at E3? Do you guys ever learn?
1. Sony doesn't announce their games 2+ years from release anymore (unless there's a significant delay).
2. E3 does typically get the biggest announcements but Sony still tries to spread them out between E3, Gamescom, TGS and PSX.
Here's what I'd expect this year:
E3
Japan Studio - The Last Guardian
Level 5/Japan Studio - New JRPG IP #1
Quantic Dream - New IP
Guerrilla Games - Horizon
Gamescom
Sony London - Playroom VR
Media Molecule - New IP
Sony Bend - New Horror IP
TGS
Japan Studio (w/ another studio) - New JRPG IP #2
Japan Studio - Gravity Rush 2
PSX
Sony Santa Monica - God of War 4 (maybe, a teaser at best though because it's a Q1 2017 game)
Mix in games that've already been announced (U4, R&C, etc.), maybe some DLC (Bloodborne and The Order DLC, please), a couple of remasters (Uncharted Trilogy, Beyond) and a few smaller second party announcements and I think that's pretty much it.

If I had to choose 1 I would say MM. Been awhile for them, however I think they might be more likely to show off a game at gamescom

Mark Healey's been tweeting about how they're planning to reveal their project this year.
Yep given the more casual/creative nature of their games Gamescom seems a better fit for them.

I feel pretty confident about most of these. Guerrilla Cambridge seems pretty iffy- I don't see Sony letting them make an original IP right now, but I also don't see a new Killzone getting pushed out anytime soon. How soon Sucker Punch's next game comes depends a lot on whether it's an inFamous game or a new IP.

I've been predicting that it'd show up at E3 2015 for a long time. I didn't think it would show up in 2013 or 2014 but I think the timing is right this year. Puppeteer and Knack came out in 2013, freeing the resources within Japan Studio to put two other AAA titles into full production and I think those two games are Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian.
Nightengale

I agree.
IMO, I always thought it was fairly obvious that development on TLG/GD2 was slow/nonexistent because of prioritisation on Knack/Puppeteer. And AAA development takes at least two years to show tangible results.
So, two years after Puppeteer and Knack feels like the right time.

My predictions:
I think this should be enough, of course there's always the black sheep known as TLG. I feel like Sony is keeping this game as their secret weapon in case the PS4 begins to decline.
- Naughty Dog - UC4 Semi-Story Trailer / Uncharted Trilogy for PS4
- Insomniac - R&C Gameplay, release date and a free ticket for the movie with the game
- Polyphony Digital - Grand Turismo 7 Prologue - Digital Only
- Sony Bend - New I.P. Engine Trailer
- Santa Monica - God of War Teaser at the end of the conference (a la U4) Will probably reveal something shocking (New Protagonist or New Gods?)
- Sucker Punch - I don't know why but I find it strange that there's no Sly Cooper game releasing next to the film just like R&C. Sly Cooper Redux anyone?
- Guerrilla Games - New I.P. Reveal Trailer
- Quantic Dream - We might get another demo (like Kara) but it'll be closer to the actual game setting (kind of like The Casting demo from HR). Hell I wouldn't mind a game based on Kara to be honest but one things for sure whatever QD shows is going to be looker.

Most likely? Does anyone really know? Before every conference I see these page long lists of first party fantasies that never come true and then everyone is disappointed lol.
On a side note: Gimme more Sucker Punch please. Every Infamous has been amazing and Second Son was a fucking blast. More infamous, new IP I don't really care, this studio does not disappoint me I really hope we get something from them.

Ok I didn't find the video but found an article on what he said,Sony's Shuhei Yoshida was asked to give one-word summaries for some of Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusives, and in reference to Sony Bend, he said "panic", LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule's upcoming title, "extraordinary," Guerilla Game's upcoming title, "epic," and Yoshida's refusal to say anything with regards to Sony Santa Monica's upcoming title but seems to be the next God of War, MM's game look like it might be a Morpheus game, Sony Bend's game was rumored to be a survival horror game. This interview was from 2013 when the PS4 launched and the funny thing is that we haven't really seen anything or heard anything about these yet so in 2013 they were being worked on and it's 2015, time for their reveal ?
That's a mystery to everyone. I would be hyped as hell for a new Sly. When it comes to Sony, it's Crash, then Sly for me.
