Which Sony Studios are most likely to show up at E3?

ND will skip this E3. Maybe a trailer, that's it.

No way. Uncharted 4 will definitely be there and possibly Uncharted Trilogy.

Personally I can't imagine SP going back to Sly.

i would say it is pretty much guaranteed they are working on the next inFAMOUS game. I'm fine with that too. I think the next game will have much more content than Second Son which was probably rushed a bit as launch window title.

Naughty Dog ain't skipping no E3. That's their home.

They better not...

I don't think it was rushed. I think they're simply understaffed for the kind of games they make.

Wow, I just looked at the date and figured E3 is less than 2 months away. Anway, ND is going to be there, we'll finally see GG's Dinos, I hope for Persona 5, but am sceptical and Level 5 with a massive JRPG. I am also confident TLG will show up (
although I thought the same last year :(
). Oh, and they need to surprise with a fall 2015 announcement. They probably have an ace or two up their sleeve. Can't wait.

My guess is Gravity Rush and Uncharted Trilogy.

Not happening.
 
I wonder if Sony will have more 2nd party development at E3.

Things went awry with The Order, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't keep trying.

Level 5, Insomniac, and other previous reliable 2nd parties should be mined for potentially great titles.

We'll definitely see more second party stuff. I think something like Bloodborne means more to them that whatever went wrong with The Order. At E3 we'll probably see Ratchet and Quantic Dream's new game. Maybe even some DLC for Bloodborne.

as i said before, they've been doing that for the past few years.

they don't see it as '2nd party', because they fund the games. either 1st party or 3rd party. bloodborne and the order are 1st party games. actually, i don't really get the whole 2nd party thing. it's just a label but at the end of the day, a game is either 1st party or not. yes, it's made by a studio that's not owned by sony but really, who cares? it's not a measure of quality or anything at all. you can have no 1st party studios but still publish 1st party games, like what ea does.

rapture, wild, rime, helldivers, until dawn, resogun, alieanation, drawn to death, entwined, heavy rain, tomorrow children, etc.
 
Guillaume de Foundamiere being asked in July 2014 whether or not he will attend E3 2015 doesn't mean Quantic Dream will be there to debut their new game.

That decision lies with Shuhei and Michael Denny and how it plays into the portfolio announcement strategy.
No one from QD ever attended E3 if there wasn't a game to announce or to promote. Im sure they have the marketing plan long laid out including when its supposed to be revealed. Delays probably change plans, but I'm pretty sure that around E3 2014 Sony already knows what they will likely announce the next year. If their game is scheduled for holiday 2016 Sony will definitely announce it at this E3.


Great. I hope is not just for a remaster though.
Unlikely they would fly out to LA for a remaster. And the rumour was that some indie studio was doing the port, if it even exists.

Interesting. Rumor from legit sources/posters?
 
I hope to see the new game from Guerilla Games, Polyphony Digital with a first look for Gran Turismo 7 and Sony Santa Monica with the new God of War announcement.

It's my first post, greetings from Sarajevo :)

Kinda related, Sony E3 will at least have 5 trailers of 3rd party games:
  • Batman: Arkham knight
  • Destiny expansion (comet or something like that)
  • Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
  • Star wars Battlefront
  • The new CoD
The last two will take a big chunk of time from Sony E3 conference, and I'm sure there will more trailers from other 3rd party games. So I don't think Sony will show that many first party games.

Each trailer might only last a couple minutes at best. We don't know how long Sony will spend on 3rd party games so using it as proof that Sony won't show very many first party games makes little sense.

The trophy list for PS4 appeared. Then there was this extremely weird/silly Beyonce Two Souls "announcement" by an indie studio which never amounted to anything: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/press..._Powernoia_Games_DeliverBeyonce_Two_Souls.php

Wario noticed some devs of both ND and QD are following them on twitter. So its either a real studio or some kind of Kojima bluff. But at this point they maybe cancelled it or delayed it until there is a better opportunity release schedule wise.

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.

There is so much stuff already known that I just don't know how many suprises are left, when we can already expect lots of the stuff you mentioned to be there in some form or other.

COD marketing exclusive for Sony? Wow

I'm actually worried they won't show much first-party at all, I'd be incredibly disappointed. Reminds me of MS around the time when 360 was on top.

Starting to look like it. Strongly hoping CoD rumor is proven false. :/
 
Very likely:
Naughty Dog - Uncharted 4
Sony San Diego - Killstrain, Drawn to Death
Media Molecule - New IP
Guerrilla Games - New IP
SCE Japan Studio - New IP/TLG/Gravity Daze (on or two of them)
Sony Bend - New IP
Sony London Studio - Morpheus Stuff

Likely:
Polyphon Digital - GT7 (we will see something during E3 or Gamescom this year)

Won't show anything/too early:
Guerrilla Cambridge - Killzone Sequel (Bleh.....!)
Sucker Punch - Open-World Game (inFAMOUS released ~1 year ago)
Sony Santa Monica - New God of War game will by shown/announced at the PSX2015)
Pixel Opus - Their last game launched ~10 months ago
Evolution Studios - .....rofl!

Second Party (Independent studios working on Sony IP)

Very likely
Insomniac - Ratchet & Clank
From Sotware - Bloodborne DLC announcement

Likely:
Quantic Dream - New IP
Level-5 - JRPG (we know they will announce a JRPG for PS4. Question is if it's a Sony IP or not)
 
If Sony gets marketing rights on CoD and it looks like they have them for Battlefront too, then wtf does Microsoft have to market in November? Assassin's Creed? Halo 5 marketing will obviously continue deep into November but what else would they have to keep pace with Sony?

Seriously? That sounds like the worst combination imaginable.

They got the Fallout: New Vegas writer so there's some decent potential.

It went great with From though. I'm sure it will continue. They already have Insomniac developing Ratchet & Clank for release this year. Level 5 is already working on something too.

Oh please lord, say it isn't so. I don't wanna watch ten minutes of the same old shootbang/explosions/"'MURICA!" at Sony's conference. It's bad enough having to put up with the onslaught of fucking Destiny footage for the past two years, but now this.

Please no Cod marketing Sony, the last thing I need at your conference is a copy and paste 15 minute Cod demo.

I also don't get why some people are doubting if Guerrilla Games is going to show up, in my opinion Sony is going to try and make Horizon a really big thing, maybe even use it as their headlining new game this E3, so at least an ingame trailer seems obvious to me.

Since the game was originally planned for 2015 (I believe), I'd normally guess that this is a situation similar to Bloodborne (less than a year between announcement and release) but with Uncharted and Street Fighter already planned for the spring it'll take a little longer I think, still an E3 announcement is 100% going to happen.
 
I'd like to see Horizon from Guerrilla Games. I think the premise sounds amazing and I love the artwork, although it's only 1.5 years since Shadow Fall and I wonder if it's a little too soon to show it yet. I think it will show up this year though, so if not at E3 then it'll probably be at PSX.

I also hope we see Bend's new game, which as I recall from Shinobi's hints is an open world horror game? Been a big fan of their work ever since Syphon Filter, so I'm interested to see how this goes for them.
 
If Sony does get CoD hopefully there's nothing more than a trailer at their press conference. Ideally they should start and end their press conference the same way they did in 2009 (Uncharted demo to start, God of War demo to end).

I know people are excited for 1st party stuff, but you have to realize by now that the 3rd party Destiny/COD/Battlefront is what really sells these things. So of course they're gonna take up stage time cause they are probably going to outsell most of those first party offerings. So there isn't really a point in whining about it anymore or being surprised.

It has robot dinosaurs, a red-headed female protagonist, and Fallout: New Vegas's head writer. If any of that is intriguing.

Maybe it takes place in the Savage Starlight universe along with No Man's Sky and Sony is doing a videogame version of Disney's MCU? But SSM's Destiny-like game was the linchpin and dominos toppled across Sony WWS when it was cancelled? Alas.

I think Guerrilla is the second largest Sony owned studio now(two teams?) and it was in the works before KZSF released. If it isn't at E3 it won't be because they have nothing to show.

Welcome to GAF, Maroon Gamer.

Sorry but I don't think there's any chance of God of War appearing. It would've only gone into full production once Santa Monica's new IP was cancelled just over a year ago, so it's still a long way off. I'd bet on a March 2017 release.
 
Hey, it's not Sony's fault that America rocks!

America rocks, but I don't need the umpteenth gameplay trailer of regurgitated CoD bullshit to tell me that. It's so boring to watch that stuff by this point that I'm just completely numb to it.

I can see it now, we're going to get a CoD demonstration that takes up the longest portion of the conference. All the while there will be no sight nor sound of The Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2, Hunger, MediaMolecule's new game or Silent Hills. And then the conference ends and I crumple down into the corner of the room and cry myself to sleep.

That is still the weirdest development this generation. I hate that SSM is stuck being a GOW factory. I mean I do like GOW, but I wanted to see them branch out.

Sony allowed them too - for some reason, the project got canned.

No way, those who get CoD will have their 10 minute gameplay galore. :(

3 years? I'm expecting it to be the big Fall 2016 game with a reveal at PSX.

Believe me, I know what you mean.
I can't stand FPS anymore.

But we have to deal with the truth -> Dudebros love these games and COD is still the king right now. So ouf course Sony/MS (whoever) will market it. It makes absolutely sense, business-wise.

It's a 2-hour show. Not the complete show will be for you and me.
Think about the other gamers, too.

Yeah, if Sony do have exclusive marketing on COD now (as well as Destiny and Battlefront) then they would be wise to push the shit out of that deal. All of those games are massive, will sell millions of consoles and are guaranteed to sell better than pretty much any first party game. I'd much rather see exclusive games at the conference (whether that's Uncharted 4, new Sony IPs, Street Fighter IV or a third party partnership like Deep Down).

I do think that we'll get a showing of Sony's projects that is at least comparable to last year's, if not more so. Last year we got:

The Order 1886 demo
Entwined announcement/release
First Light announcement
LittleBigPlanet 3 announcement/demo
Bloodborne announcement
Uncharted 4 reveal

I can imagine something like this:

Uncharted 4 Demo
Another Entwined-level Project announcement
Ratchet and Clank proper reveal/gameplay trailer
*Possible* Bend project reveal
Bloodborne DLC
Japan Studio announcement trailer (Be it their JRPG project or Last Guardian or whatever it is they are working on)
Guerrilla's Horizon reveal

We know Santa Monica is working to on God of War. They even said so on that panel not too long ago. God of War 3 release timing makes me think they want to capitalize on hype for the new game, so they are absolutely going to show if God of War 4.
 
Ill be surprised if Ratchet and Clank gets anything more than being in a montage during Sony's press conference. I think it might be too soon for Bloodborne DLC as well.
