Optimistic predictions:

Spiderman: November 2017
Days Gone: March 2018
Detroit: Become Human: June 2018
Death Stranding: 2021
God of War: Fall 2018
TLOU 2: Fall 2019
Sucker Punch's new IP: March 2019
GT Sport: December 2017
Dreams: June 2018
Knack 2: September 2017
WiLD: Q2 2020

 

[Last_colossi]

Spider-Man - January-February 2018
Days Gone - July or August 2018
Detroit: Become Human - October 2017
Death Stranding - Late 2019 (probably the PS4's Swan song)
God of War - December 2017
TLOU 2 - Late 2018
Sucker Punch's new IP - September 2018
GT Sport - November 2017
Dreams - January 2018 with Beta at Christmas
Knack 2 - May 2018
WiLD - June 2018 (if it's not cancelled)

Insomniac is probably targeting around November-December for Spider-Man (close to Homecoming Bluray release) but I have a feeling it might slip into early 2018 due to Insomniac's statement about whether it would release in 2017: Tweet

 

[crash-14]

I think the only one on that list you will see in 2017 is knack2

If your lucky you might get gtsport at xmas but i reckon its gonna be a stacked start to 2018

With scorpio launching this year and at certain degree Mario being the Switch killer app, there's no way Sony ain't putting something big during the fall.

 

[Chuck Norris]

All are pretty random guesses.

Spiderman - May 2018

Days Gone - February 2018

Detroit: Become Human - April 2018

Death Stranding - November 2019

God of War - October 2017

TLOU 2 - Q2 2020

Sucker Punch's new IP - October 2018

GT Sport - September 2017

Dreams - December 2017

Knack 2 - September 2017

WiLD - March 2018

TLOU 2 will definitely not be released until 2020 at the earliest. They showed off that trailer incredibly early so that the possibility of the game being leaked was much lower.

That would be very uncharacteristic of Naughty Dog to show a game so far ahead of release. They've been pretty consistent in having about 2 years of pre release marketing before a game comes out. My guess is aiming for end of 2018, possibly with a delay to early 2019

 

[Kastrioti]

I doubt it was Konami that wanted to spend untold millions starting up an entirely new studio to build a Metal Gear multiplayer mode. There is plenty of blame to go around for what happened with MGSV.

I didn't know Kojima was the one who wanted the multiplayer for MGSV.

Either way hopefully not having to build an engine from scratch will help with the development time.

Kojima said recently all the story work etc. is done so now they're hopefully the rest of development is moving along.

I'm a bit surprised many think GOW will be 2018. I thought a lot was indicating a release this year? Now I am worried.

Drive Club delayed from launch into next Fall.
The Order 1886 delayed from holiday into Spring.
Uncharted 4 delayed from holiday into Spring.
Gran Turismo Sport delayed from holiday into whenever they finish it.

Sony does not have a great track record getting their big releases out in time for Christmas. On that precedent alone, I would not expect God of War this year.

Meh, I'll play the guessing game.

I'd prefer they don't rush it. If it's ready for Holiday then great but if it needs another few months in the oven I'd prefer it

[IcyRhythms]

I'd bet several of you money TLoU 2 comes out before 2020. That is a big gap to go without a game. I think TLoU 2 is easily a late Summer early Fall of 2018 game. April 2019 at the latest.

Spiderman I exactly by November of 2017 or January 2018

Days Gone is probably February 2018 or late spring 2018

Detroit November 2018

Death Stranding is probably the most difficult one, especially since it's confirmed multiplatform. I'll say late Summer 2020 at the earliest

GT Sport will be delayed until Spring of 2018

Dreams I expect by October of 2017

Knack 2 in September 2017

 

[Kuni]

Cool idea. Here's my takes (planned \ announced dates and slips I think will happen)

• Spiderman - Fall 2018 (will probably slip to Spring 2019)
• Days Gone - Spring 2018 (likely slip though by a few months to Summer 2018)
• Detroit: Become Human - This one is actually a bit tricky.... The footage shown did look quite far along and it has been a while since Beyond but this is Quantic we're talking about... Spring 2018
• Death Stranding - 2021
• God of War - Spring 2018 (likely will slip though)
• TLOU 2 - Spring 2019
• Sucker Punch's new IP - Fall 2018
• GT Sport - Fall 2017
• Dreams - Hoo boy. Very tough... That game's development has been way too quiet for my likely. 2018 (possibly cancelled)
• Knack 2 - Spring 2018
• WiLD - No idea... Lets go for Summer 2018

 

[border]

I'd be very surprised if Wild was canned or if Sony dropped it. Ancel has been posting art and screens on his Instagram account recently

Sony dropped Rime, Sony dropped Edith Finch. Sony Santa Monica doesn't have any other inter-studio collaborations heading forward.

I think they've kinda lost their patience for independent developers. If WiLD doesn't have plans to launch this year, I can definitely see Sony dropping it.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

damn that looks dope, i hope we get a release date soon enough

 

[labaronx]

The problem with predicting some games:

Detroit Become Human: it looked surprisingly in depth and far along last e3. One has to wonder how much more will they show prior to release. An e3 demo and behind the scenes hands on for publications are probably the last footage theyll probably show before release. Which means it could be a know show at the remaining conferences this year

Spider-Man: this one is probably the hardest to determine. No actual live demo, and has been on radio silence for a good year with no updates. Not tied to spiderman homecoming movie which is post e3, dvd likely to be released late October early November. Has potential to be a system seller if done correctly, so sony probably isn't rushing it.

I'd swap Spider-Man around with GOW. All things are pointing to the former releasing this year.

All of them will stealth release on PSN during Sony's E3 show this year.

Knack 2 will get bumped to PS5 and 2020 though.

[RustyNails]

God of War is easily a spring 2018 title. No way it launches in few months.

 

[Van Bur3n]

I'm going to take a guess at a few of them:

Spiderman - Q1 2018

Days Gone - Q4 2018 or later

Detroit: Become Human - 2019 or later

Death Stranding - Not any time soon

God of War - Q2 2018

TLOU 2 Q3 2018

 

[SolidSnakex]

Sony dropped Rime, Sony dropped Edith Finch. Sony Santa Monica doesn't have any other inter-studio collaborations heading forward.

I think they've kinda lost their patience for independent developers. If WiLD doesn't have plans to launch this year, I can definitely see Sony dropping it.

They definitely appear to be dialing back their indie releases, particularly those that were associated with SSM. But I don't think they ever classified Wild as being an indie title. I think you could see that with the way its been treated. At gamescom 2014 when it was revealed, Denny talked about how helping establish new IP's and studios in Europe is something they're proud of and mentioned how excited they were to partner with one of Europe's top creators. They brought Ancel out to announce it there. And then the following year they brought him out again to show a demo of it. It's also notable that it was their big end of show reveal at gamescom 2014. The game seems to be a big deal for them. It's just that it's being made by a small team and is very ambitious, so it's taking time to complete.

[VanCityGamer]

I'd swap Spider-Man around with GOW. All things are pointing to the former releasing this year.

I really don't think all signs are pointing to Spider-Man this year, sadly. I'd be shocked if it releases in 2017.

I can't find anything, anywhere that indicates Spider-Man is 2017.

TLOU 2 will definitely not be released until 2020 at the earliest. They showed off that trailer incredibly early so that the possibility of the game being leaked was much lower.

That seems like weird reasoning and not something they would do.

People seem to think that game is way further away than I do. Nolan North knew they were working on it in some capacity in June of 2015.

The first game they started working on in 2009, first teased in 2011 and then released in 2013.

To have a game they announced not come out for 3.5-4 years post announcement just does not seem in line with how ND operates. Especially when we got a full cinematic and not just a title/voiceover.

They've been a two title studio for a while now and I think TLOU2 has been in the cooker for awhile in some capacity.
