Um, those games will be announced at their E3 conference.

There's a good chance it'll be announced on-stage at E3 via CGi trailer, in-engine or vertical slice demo.
Having a closed-door demo only means that they don't want to reveal the gameplay officially yet, or isn't comfortable letting other people go hands-on yet.

Gears was a public test at home on peoples consoles, ntkrnl was someone who clearly had access to tons of info leaking things, not really the same situations.
As naive as the Gears situation was, I don't think it really the same, if they hadnt done that test we'd likely still be in the dark over it

Shinobi already teased a gears game for this yearSo we werent really unprepared.
I don't think Shinobi hinting at things is quite on a level of ntkrnl/cboat either. So far they've been pretty quiet compared to recent years.
Not like anyone genuinely thought they wouldn't have a Gears game this year either

Xbox fans need their own GopherD/Verendus. There's been nothing to get excited about...
Ahhhh, I see. That's a little disappointing, I always liked Gamescom. Gave me something to look forward to just before classes started up again.
I wish they'd drop in. Always makes things interesting.
I think you read that in a rush and didnt understand what he meant
The way the press has treated Bloodborne impressions and The Order impressions (E3 behind closed doors) I take MS's way and show gameplay footage when I am ready, on my terms, to everyone at a conference of my choosing. Sony dripping info to the press doesn't have that big of a benefit as they might think it does - we're not in the age of magazines anymore. Between the clickbait impressions (where a flaw is magnified 10x even if it's trivial) and with all the hype from other games at E3... just really not something worth that much - in my judgement. Even if the impressions have an embargo...which is silly - just show footage when you're truly ready - no embargoes. I guess it's a way to explain to the media how the game works etc (so that they can relay that to their "audience").... but most consumers can figure things out without explicit info falling to their laps. The actual process of trying to understand the footage and the unknowns is better press in my view.

Bloodborne impressions? The impressions for Bloodborne were always extremely positive.

I usually have a few fanciful hopes for e3, not been in the loop much this year though so my expectations are a little low key. The only potentially outlandish thing I'm secretly half expecting is Metroid U from Retro (they have to have been working on something, right?!). That would be super cool.
I don't think anyone wants another ntkrnl situation happening again. The man was spot on in every facet, but he literally took the winds out of a conference. This year, I hope we go in blind and earn "Insight" (Bloodborne awful joke).
The concern for frame-rate was real. Avoidable. It's all about controlling the message.
The only thing I misread was thinking the games were not going to be announced at E3. Besides that point, I still don't like the main argument. In my judgement behind the scenes demo's to the press of freshly announced AAA games isn't too beneficial. I would argue it's hard to control the message when that type of footage is not ready for public consumption (not with today's press) - and there are reasons for such.

Insight means having eyes on the inside. So get to leaking.
Not happening, I've actively asked people to not tell me anything, nor do I want the anxiety and mockery that comes with it. I'll leave it to the pros, and if the rumors swirling around on GAF are any indiction, this thing should be fun.

I did not mind ntkrnl so much because it was 5 months~ before, a leak right about now, less than 3 weeks to showtime wouldn't really have the same effect, teases are nice to get a bit of hype and excitement but a blowout now would be pretty rubbish.
We still got Ori from it too which was a nice surprise (although the trademark had leaked from that too a while before)
Cboat posting stuff about the 2013 conference on the day too (the stuff at the show, the stuff around like that was fine) and MCV saying Crackdown was going to be announced "tonight" last year is not really something I'm interested in.
E3 could be very fun/interesting (if things I've heard are true).
I mean, let's be real. If MS unveils nothing new and shows off what we already know is in the pipeline: Halo 5, Gears 4, Crackdown 3, a new Rare IP, Forza 6, and Scalebound - do we even really need a leak at that point? It's a solid conference based on the confidence of the source material going in. ^_^

Yeah, last minute leaks are not fun at all. Might as well just wait for the conference.
Yeah I feel you. But this happens all the time actually. Just happened with SW Battlefront at the Celebration

Spencer teased Ori, Crackdown and Scalebound.

Im wondering whether Rares AAA game will be at Gamescom instead of E3. Theres other stuff they could announce at E3 instead and save the bigger game for a few weeks later to make their Gamescom show a bit bigger.
They seem to be hyping things up a bit so I'm expecting them to have some new things there and unlike last year they haven't announced things just before (Halo 5 Guardians, Forza Horizon 2, Project Totem -> Kalimba, Sunset Overdrive gameplay)
Very true! I'm really excited to see what Rare's been working on and hopefully some Scalebound gameplay.

I don't really remember that from the press. They mentioned it but I can't recall anyone really making a big deal out of it

The press generally understands that a game being shown behind doors means that it's early, so there's little reason to be concerned about performance issues.

A question regarding Sonys First Party Studios.
Does Team Soho from Sony London still exist? They made the Getaway Games & i would to see them work on a PS4 Game again
For the MS Conference im actually pretty excited for Scalebound. It will probably be the most expensive project from Platinum Games. Let's see what they do with that MS Money

Company with dinosaur in their name
Not making a dinosaur game. Wtf is this?
This was exactly what went through my head when I saw that. Coupled with "wow what shitty title art."

Maybe they are hiding the dinos?!

yes shinobi confirmed it to be at E3
I don't actually know when, but I'm willing to bet money it's a 2016 title.
People hoping for this year are hoping for too much imo.
I'm hoping for 2015 based solely on how Todd Howard and Pete Hines have talked about their marketing approach recently. I believe they said they want as quick of a turn around between reveal and release as possible, and when they show the game they want it to basically be finished (I'll see if I can't find sources for those). If it is 2016, I think it'll be in the first half of the year. Plus, Fallout 3 was revealed at E3 the year it released, so it isn't completely unprecedented.
I'm going to expect 2016 though just so I don't get my hopes dashed.
Would be nice if they revive either The Getaway or Eight Days just like they did with Until Dawn
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I promise you that there will be one.
hopefully the rest of the days are going to be GIFs as well
Please make MGSV face splashing gif the last one
Metal Gear Solid isn't going to be day 1 for sure but you will see. I don't think it would be face-splashing gif but I had my own favorite scene tho.
Thanks!

it would be great yes....Seeing how they are working on their own openworld RPG (Horizon) i have a the small hope that they go back to the Getaway Universe

What was the ntkrnl situation?
Poster names ntkrnl literally leaked MS's entire E3 conference and pre-E3 announcements. Was spot on.
Here. Ntkrnl is a famous leaker believed to be a Microsoft employee. Leaked the entire Microsoft 2013 press conference. The leak was amazing to see, but took the wind out of every announcement.

Even Ntkrnl wasn't aware of what Rare was doing.
Make sense since Phi wasn't even aware till he went to the studio.
I wish we at least knew the genre
Shrennin
Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Which means one of three possible things: Rare didn't start really working on their new projects when ntkrnl knew of his info (hopefully not), Rare's projects really are meant to turn around the studio so they were kept very top secret (hopefully yes), or ntkrnl just didn't have any real connection to Rare so there just wouldn't be any info for him (the less boring but most likely answer out of these three).
