in cerny we trust
What's the reason you think it can't score above that?

It's the sequel to Knack.
Everyone will have so low expectations that even the slightest improvements will blow their mind.
Knack 2 will get a 90+ meta for sure.

It already loses two points in character design alone.

Thatgamecompany could swing either way. They have history with Sony, but I could see MS ponying up the cash. The kind of PR of securing a former Sony dev may be attractive to them. Meanwhile, Sony seems less interested in small-scale non VR games these days.

Of course it'll be better. It'd take a special kind of voodoo magic for the second game to be worse than its predecessor.
This is really the only reason I could see thatgamecompany's new game at Microsoft.

People not ready for Knack 2.
Sucks that the 3 First Party games i want the most are insanely unlikely to happen. Hell, 2 are definitely not going to be announced. SP is doing something new, so no Infamous. Jaffe just put out Drawn to Death which means no Twisted Metal for now. Unless they're doing one with out him. Only one left is a sequel to PS Allstars and i really doubt they'd announce it at E3, thats the perfect PSX game. And even if they announce it, i'd probably be disappointed because it wont be what i want.
I think this is the first E3 in a long time where my expectations are really low. Spider-Man should be awesome and i want more Days Gone, but thats it. Everything else i want i dont expect to be at E3.

So they can't conceivably improve based on criticisms of #1?
As per ThatGameCompany, I imagine that if they were interested in doing exclusives they'd check with Sony first, but I don't think that's where their heart is.
Journey brought them global recognition, they can self publish digitally with no problem I imagine. Or they'd go with a very hands off Indie Publisher interested in wide releases.
Fully expecting a PC/ PS4/ XB1/ NSW release from them (possible delay on NSW due to morecrecent and different profile).

I know in the grand scheme of things it might be a minor thing but I hope that the orchestra is back again or some sort of live performance.

They're in the same theater so I can't imagine it not.

Yes they can, I wasn't disputing that. It's just not going to be an 80+ game on Metacritic.

This is bet bait. Someone bite.
Indeed. Sony already have 3 FPS games that are more than likely going to appear in the conference. Hell maybe even 4 with Far Cry but I can picture that being PSX instead when the other 3 are out (obviously it'll be a major focus of Ubi's).

I'm not sure what you're saying here. If you're talking about Sony/Microsoft publishing their next game then I seriously doubt either of those are realistic possibilities, since thatgamecompany left Sony specifically so they could go multiplatform. Pretty sure we've even heard talk of investors providing them funds, which lends credibility to that.
But if you're talking about timed exclusivity deals then it's not like Sony have cancelled Pub Fund. They're still helping out on tons of small scale games, they just don't seem to be funding and publishing that many any more.

Yes! Thank you.
edit: wait, no that's not it. I'm not talking about a theater experience but actually watching that shit where the conference is being held.

I was just referring to which conference it could be revealed at. Should've been more clear.
Edit: which would go along with a marketing deal I suppose

I forget if Sony usually starts with a new game announcement or previously announced. Can anyone remember which?

2015 - TLG, Horizon
2016 - God of War, Days Gone
Last year, GoW art was leaked but afaik the game was still new, same as PSX with Uncharted: Lost legacy

Usually new. I am guessing this year they will open with SP new IP. Followed by Spiderman and then close with GOW gameplay.

Yep. His elaboration is necessary context.
- Let it go.
- It was dead two years ago.
- They did announce bunch of games for Vita at PSX.

As far as Reiner's comment go, I think the only game on that list that's really in question is TLoUPII. It seems like all the others will be there in some form or another.
So you are saying that it needs to a good game to get good reviews. Hmm... j/k
I am not as bullish about 80+ as some of you, although I do think it will surprise many people. Knack name won't do it any favour in terms of reviewers giving it a fair shake.

Yeah, I just can't see TLoU showing up so early, and immediately after PSX like this. Everything else is fair game.
I doubt its a new IP since the lead game has always been a title that gamers have been familiar with. TLG was in limbo up until its revival in 2015, GOW in 2016 and Uncharted at PSX 2016.
Only title I can see that will fit the bill for the opener is Bloodborne 2.

We have gotten a Vita game shown at every Sony E3 conference since launch, let's not break the combo!
