Itsuno said he will be announcing his game this year.

PSX is the most likely event for the announcement.

TGS.

Short Predictions - TLOU Part II gameplay demo, Fromsoftware new IP ARPG directed by Miyazaki, and maybe another little DS trailer.

Dream - Ape Escape 3

 

[//ARCANUM]

I missed last years but attended PSX 2015. We believe we lined up about 4 hours before the show began and got really great seats, maybe four or five rows back from the stage. Was that still the case at last year's show? Guessing it'll get harder and harder as the show gains popularity.

I'm not sure exactly when everyone showed up the night before, but I do know that camping occurred. I got there *early* and there were thousands of people already there (they had let people into the theater way earlier).

 

[Sidewinder]

Colony Wars - believe!

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Hate to bring this up, but are we still expecting DMC5? Or is it DEAD?

TGS.

You are setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Just jumped back into Playstation gaming this year after being Xbox only this gen. Loving my Pro and the lineup they’ve already announced. Can’t wait to see what’s accnounce at PSX this year.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

TGS.

Not relevant enough.

 

[The God]

disappointment is apparently a kink for DMC fans

 

[_Isaac]

Can't wait!
Last year was pretty fun, and it was cool meeting some gaffers too. I am glad it's back in my town again. I do hope they rethink the way they handle the PS merch store though. That was a disaster last year.

 

[Blam]

Got my ticket. Never gone before we having a gaf meetup?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

The game awards usually line up with PSX, right?
Should be a really fun weekend.

Really wish I lived anywhere remotely close to there.
But alas, I live in Canada thousand miles away.

Edit: also, sucker punch better be there, or I'm gonna be pisssssssssssed.

Yeah, TGA is on the 7th this year.

 

[krae_man]

Got my ticket!

Always enjoy hanging out with fellow GAF at PSX. It's practically become a tradition to attend.

We can just reuse most of the OC OT!

Can't wait!

Man I hope they have their act together this year. Announcing in June and putting tickets on sale in Aug are signs that they are finally learning from past mistakes.

A 2+ hour line to buy merch is ridiculous. They cost themselves thens of thousands of dollars with that nonsense.

 

[Samy]

Hope it's not as disappointing as the last PSX and E3 conference were.

 

[demosthenes]

will they have better policies about getting in? I loved the show but it was a cluster fuck.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Hope it's not as disappointing as the last PSX and E3 conference were.

Come again?

 

[Raw64life]

Can't wait for Dragon Quest XI to not be at this event at all because S-E likes to wait until three days after this event to tweet out details about the western versions of DQ games to their 15K Twitter followers.

 

[bombshell]

Come again?

The Last of Us Part II announcement was sooooo disappointing...

 

[Neonep]

Hopefully this year it's more organized and they get more room. Last year's felt little compared to the year before that.

 

[Shin]

What do you mean, it was that packed and there wasn't enough space for everyone?
Because IIRC there were a handful of empty seats (looking at the stream).

 

[badcrumble]

Itsuno said he will be announcing his game this year.

PSX is the most likely event for the announcement.

That suggests there might be some form of PS4 exclusivity for, uh, whatever it is.

If Square got up on stage at PSX and announced that DQ11 was Switch exclusive in North America. Would they get cheers or boos?

What do you mean, it was that packed and there wasn't enough space for everyone?
Because IIRC there were a handful of empty seats (looking at the stream).

Keynote completely filled up. There was enough room for all other panels though.

I thought it was fine space wise and line wise. There were a couple of developers that really, really screwed up the demo length->kiosk->demand ratio(RE7's 4 booths and 30 minute demo come to mind), but overall it was way better then say PAX.

The security screening got bottled up in the beginning both days. I was early enough in line to not be be impacted by it, but that is for sure something they need to improve.

Getting in was a pain in the ass.

 

[AmuroChan]

Really curious what content they're going to show at PSX since they're doing PGW this year. I really hope they don't spread themselves too thin. We pretty much know what 1st party is working on except for SP. What new exclusives do they still have left in the bag to reveal? I don't want just all 3rd party stuff and Indies.

 

[The God]

How does it suggest that? Plenty of multiplatform games get announced at PSX

 

[snake fish]

Got my ticket. Will definitely be better prepared lining up overnight for this year's PSX.
Also hoping for a Monster Hunter world demo.

 

[Kudo]

Bloodborne 2 Reveal Trailer please... Save me from anguish.
Hyped for the show, will be good times.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

SFV and NNK2 were exclusive.

 

[Shin]

Getting in was a pain in the ass.

Ah ok, gotcha.
Still envious of those going there as it seems to be a blast.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

SFV and NNK2 were exclusive.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite wasn't exclusive.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Me, my wife, and a few friends all registered and ready to go! This is our big christmas trip this year, super excited.

 

[Cre8]

Can't wait for Sucker Punch's new game reveals, been too long already....

 

[Neonep]

What do you mean, it was that packed and there wasn't enough space for everyone?
Because IIRC there were a handful of empty seats (looking at the stream).

At Moscone West in 2015 they had all three floors. 1st & 2nd were show floors and the 3rd was a dedicated to where the keynote and all the panels were held. Last year they had one floor for everything. Basically they could have used more space to get more people in for the keynote. Last year it felt like more people with less space compared to the previous year.

 

[krae_man]

Got my ticket. Never gone before we having a gaf meetup?

Absolutely!

 

[Zukkoyaki]

After last year, I can honestly see Sucker Punch announcing their new game at PSX.

 

[BadWolf]

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite wasn't exclusive.

Ace Combat 7 also wasn't exclusive.

And even SFV was only console exclusive.

 

[RSchmitz]

After last year, I can honestly see Sucker Punch announcing their new game at PSX.

Indeed. Before last year I didn't think a major AAA game from first party would ever be announced at PSX. E3 seemed more fitting.

Still, I wonder if we will get anything in the same vein of Parappa, Patapon and Locoroco remasters. Those were cool.

 

[Neonep]

I'm not sure exactly when everyone showed up the night before, but I do know that camping occurred. I got there *early* and there were thousands of people already there (they had let people into the theater way earlier).

The "theater" was smaller last year than the previous year. Definitely more people last year.

 

[v1lla21]

I'm going depending if my gf can go. Had fun two years ago so definitely want to check it out again.

 

[Shin]

Makes sense, PSX seems to be growing and the de-facto conference for PlayStation as well as for fans.
With that in mind it's also not far fetched to think that some games are withheld in order to make their debut there.
Especially games that have strong ties to PlayStation, they are also market leader so everyone wants to be at their conference.

Hence why it needs to be better organized, last year's felt sloppy. It will probably be more organized this year though. Last year they didn't announce the date or venue till October. This year they announced the dates in June and tickets went on sale in August.

 

[Samy]

Come again?

I didn't like it at all.
The only thing that caught my eye was TLOU 2 which I guess is cool and even that isn't coming out until 2019 at the very least.

Fingers crossed for those attending, I'm from EU so i'll watch it on stream (hopefully 4K like E3).
I'm hoping to see 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (more/announce date), need my Vanillaware fix it's long overdue!

 

[silva1991]

We're ready, Itsuno.

Bless us.

Hopefully in TGS.

...when is TGS? early next month?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Ace Combat 7 also wasn't exclusive.

And even SFV was only console exclusive.

Yeah, a new game getting announced at PSX doesn't necessarily mean that it will be exclusive.

Hopefully in TGS.

...when is TGS? early next month?

It is next month, but imo you shouldn't expect anything from that show.

 

[LowSignal]

I was thinking of going $65 doesn't seem like a bad price. It's between this and twitchcon.

 

[TissueBox]

I'mma try to make it.

 

[Holmes]

Wish it were in San Francisco again.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Will there be a GAF meetup?

 

[krae_man]

Will there be a GAF meetup?

Of course.

And if you're nice to Xenorevlis, he might make GAF lanyards again:

 

[Neonep]

Wish it were in San Francisco again.

Same here. It would cost me much less.
