Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

The show is likely scheduled for May 20-25?

​

Later this month you will learn more about the long-term vision for Sony Group and the essential role SIE plays in that vision. As I mentioned previously, FY24 marks the start of the Mid-Range Plan period for Sony Group in which we will set the course for sustainable growth.

A Message from Hiroki Totoki - A New Era at Sony Interactive Entertainment

The following message was sent to Sony Interactive Entertainment employees today It brings me great pleasure to announce that I have decided on the succession strategy for the role of CEO at SIE. Over the last decade, SIE has grown tremendously, building upon our continuous successes in...

God of War Ragnarok PC announcement?
Also hoping for new trailers to like Until Dawn, Concord and Fairgame$

 

[Three]

That's not really confirming a showcase

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I think this is for a business group meeting, not a "showcase"

 

[Brigandier]

That doesn't confirm anything

 

[Loomy]

This is not a showcase announcement.
This sounds like there'll be a business plan presentation.

 

[GHG]

This isn't about a showcase. It's a business update for shareholders.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

am I reading wrong? that's dosen't sound like a showcase but more like a...... dare I say:

BUSINESS UPDATE MEETING

 

[ReBurn]

Sounds like a business update

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Ok boys, what do you want?

A showcase or an earnings report?

 

[Elios83]

No they're confirming a business update later this month (it's a traditional thing they do in May at the beginning of a new FY) not a showcase.
A showcase might happen as well but it's unrelated to this.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

May is the most magical time of the year. It's when PlayStation gives us a graph of their Live Service Games investment going forward. I then get to use my Survivor smile GIF.

What a fuck you to Microsoft and Hellblade 2. Showcase going to overshadow everything that week

 

[saintjules]

Ok boys, what do you want?

With the way people like to post about UK sales and the like, the latter.

What a fuck you to Microsoft and Hellblade 2. Showcase going to overshadow everything that week

I don't see how this "showcase" would affect the sales of Hellblade 2. Seems totally unrelated.

Also, MS is making sure to not show Hellblade 2 to anyone anyway, with their absolutely terrible and practically non existent marketing for the game.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Maybe it'll be like a certain other business update, it's just these 4 games coming to pc, Bloodborne isn't one of them.

I don't see how this "showcase" would affect the sales of Hellblade 2. Seems totally unrelated.

Also, MS is making sure to not show Hellblade 2 to anyone anyway, with their absolutely terrible and practically non existent marketing for the game.

The biggest gaming news of next week is the release of Hellblade 2. A Sony Showcase would totally overtake the news cycle. It's not even a dispute

 

[AmuroChan]

Sony's earnings call is on May 14th. So maybe we'll get some more details then.

 

[Represent.]

That's not really confirming a showcase

That doesn't confirm anything

its as good as a confirmation as we can get, expect a tweet on a random tuesday

 

[DarthPutin]

Ok boys, what do you want?

A showcase or an earnings report?

Frankly I'm not sure what's more intriguing nowadays. Certainly I'm more interested in MS plans than presentation of games now. And with quality of latest PS "showcase"...

 

[adamsapple]

That's not a showcase, fam. They very well might have one, but that's not it.

 

[onQ123]

Probably will talk about it tonight in the earnings report https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/

 

[begotten]

Spore 2 will be there.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Confirmation? Showcase?

 

[Perrott]

It should be May 23rd going by how the Showcases always air on Thursdays, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Punished Miku]

Greatness Awaits (because of sustainability)

 

[iamvin22]

That's not really confirming a showcase

Pretty much this. It reads more like a Sony event that includes sie divion.

 

[Perrott]

Pretty much this. It reads more like a Sony event that includes sie divion.

Well, last year the actual PlayStation Showcase took place just hours after this SIE business event.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

"Sony confirms"

Tag used: "Rumor"

 

[Topher]

This isn't about a showcase. It's a business update for shareholders.

God help us if it looks anything like this.....

 

[Danjin44]

Even if the rumors are true, there is not much to look forward when comes Sony's first party.

3rd party games has been waaaaay more exciting.

 

[GigaBowser]

new naughty dog ip game 2025 crazy ai i am known for my industry predictions

 

[Varteras]

I'd say someone needs to learn to read. But that seems fucking pointless when they don't even know what words mean.

 

[Varteras]

God help us if it looks anything like this.....

Well yeah. Would be pretty weird for those three to give a PlayStation business update.....

 

[Topher]

Well yeah. Would be pretty weird for those three to give a PlayStation business update.....

 

[Hawking Radiation]

What a fuck you to Microsoft and Hellblade 2. Showcase going to overshadow everything that week

Yes, YES !!!

SONY Exec: "Look at all this fucking ray traced shadows and reflections on this powerpoint slide. The global illumination on this font and the seamless transisitions between these two paragraphs. This is real AAAA shit we're taking about here folks. Ya ain't getting this over on Xbox"

That's how I see it in my head and its glorious

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Well yeah. Would be pretty weird for those three to give a PlayStation business update.....

I mean with Xbox going 3rd party and all they kind of did though right?

 

[splattered]

Sony gonna announce Xbox ports of Astrobot and Ratchet that support Xbox's new controller w gyro and haptic feedback etc. What a time to be alive. Please don't kill me.

 

[feynoob]

Yes, YES !!!

Best I can give you is more PC ports

 

[Varteras]

Best I can give you is more PC ports

And then refuse to sell them to most of the world.... after I sold them to most of the world...

Totoki isn't talking about a showcase. Notice he mentions SONY GROUP. He's talking about Sony's Corporate Strategy Meeting (May 25th) and Business Segment Group Meeting (May 30th), where every year they explain to the investors the state of each division and their strategy for the next few years. As complementary info, an extra to the FY2023 earnings announcement they'll have in a few hours.

Confirmation? Showcase?

No, Totoki and Sony didn't say anything about a showcase. Dusk Gollem and some people in this thread need to learn to read.

 

[feynoob]

And then refuse to sell them to most of the world.... after I sold them to most of the world...

I never said the deal would be fair.

 

[feynoob]

reading?

 

[ULTROS!]

Ok boys, what do you want?

A showcase or an earnings report?

Showcase - for gamers who want to see the games and criticize how terrible or derivative they look
Earnings - for gamers who want to experience doom and gloom in the future of gaming

So pick yer poison

 

[yurinka]

Ok boys, what do you want?

A showcase or an earnings report?

Both. But Totoki wasn't talking about a showcase. He was talking about the upcoming corporate meetings about Sony's (not only SIE) strategy for the next few years.

 

[feynoob]

Showcase - for gamers who want to see the games and criticize how terrible or derivative they look
Earnings - for gamers who want to experience doom and gloom in the future of gaming

So pick yer poison

Showcase for dummy gamers

Business event for the corporate greed

Dont be that guy

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I'm not expecting anything good from Sony cuz nothing of what I want and need from them will be announced and released anytime soon, except maybe TLOU2 PC port. But Capcom can show a teaser for RE9 with full reveal during Game Fest in June.
