Going to the theater for the first time this year (shoutout to RefreshGaf!) so I ain't getting spoiled for Sony's conference! I would prefer not to get spoiled for other conferences but I would be okay if it happens.

LOL. This article doesn't say that even though I don't think PS5 will be at E3. Saying that I don't rule out Sony raining on Scorpio's parade in some way.
And the above is pretty laughable to be honest.

I thought SpiderMan was a first party game.

Should close with GoW, maybe open with something we don't know, SP new game.

Open with From exclusive and follow with Sucker Punch's new IP.
They never start off with a new IP. Horizon and Days Gone were both 2-3 reveals into the conference. So I think it'll be Spider-Man or Bloodborne 2.
Giving this "rumour" the benefit of though seems unlikely they would go away from the APU route. I mean the GPUs in the consoles have been already been discrete level compared to what was possible on a standard configure on Jaguar.
Saying that I guess Infinity fabric would make discrete route more viable? but then again if am not wrong in saying APU would still be cheaper, easier to cool among other things.

Sony the past couple of years as started off with something huge that the crowd can recognize quickly
E3 2015: TLG
E3 2016: GOW
PSX 2016: Uncharted: TLL
Something like a new From Software game would make for a perfect opener.
Then Sony usually does first party games typically with something new in there. So after the opener, expect something like Sucker Punch, Detroit, Days Gone, Spider-Man and Dreams.
As for closers, usually they close E3 with something we already know about and it's always one or two first party games. I would be surprised if God of War doesn't wrap things up.

Spiderman is published by Sony but Insomniac is not a first party developer. This is what we typically refer to as a 2nd party game.

End the show with a big God of War setpiece and a early 2018 date. Spider-Man can be right before last.

Kingdom Hearts 3.
Story Trailer.
New Utada theme playing over it.
X1 version scrapped, now PS4 exclusive.
Holiday 2018.
Believe.

Some here refer to it as 2nd party but Shu said that doesn't exist for them. It is either 1st or 3rd party.
Sony had big third party deals in 2015 but they still opened with exclusives first.
Psychological Intellect said it is now PS4 exclusive a while back but has no public backing from mods or anything so it's worth very very little. That post isn't a prediction too since he claimed to know other stuff about what of KH3 will be shown at E3.
Has he been correct about stuff like this before? If not, not worth believing it is true.

Exclusive or not the game is gonna sell more on ps anyway.
I don't think so which is why I said it's worth very little. But he's been posting normally on Gaf for a while so it would be kind of weird for him to suddenly start posting stuff that could very easily be proven wrong.
Yeah expecting the sales split to be 9:1 at least.
Laplasakos

Oh, i see.
Highly unlikely. If that was the case, SE would have pulled the plug off with FFXV. Also, didn't Spencer said that he is positive about japanese support after his trip in Japan? Imagine what will happen if KH3 turned out to be a PS4 exclusive now.

FFXV was to test the waters on XB1 userbase I would assume. Anything after that Square would be cautious.

Phil says a lot of things.
Again I am very skeptical of his post but to play devil's advocate, to your first point, FFXV makes a lot more sense to keep on Xbox than KH3 considering it's completely standalone/has series history on Xbox and Square has completely ignored Xbox with all KH collections. We are probably looking at less than 10% of KH3's sales on XB1 considering FFXV was certainly >85% PS considering in Xbox's biggest market (the US) IIRC the sales split was still >75% on PS4. Square might see the benefits of being promoted as an exclusive as worth more than that likely small amount of sales. Spencer could have been referring to some smaller sized upcoming Japanese releases that might have skipped Xbox but they were able to keep on Xbox One.

Yea and FFXV completely bombed on the XB1 right? That's why I made the bold prediction it could be playstation exclusive now. Could they have decided based on how poorly FFXV performed and how it's traditionally just a playstation game that has such a complex story (with a little Nintendo sprinkled on), that maybe it's not worth putting it on XB1. Most likely not, but it would be crazy for sure if that happened.
Edit: did psychological intellect say anything other than it being a PS4 exclusive about e3?

KH3 going exclusive doesn't make a lot of sense.
Surely it would sell enough on Xbox to justify the port. Its unreal 4 so porting wont be hard.
And lets be real. From Sony's POV they know its gonna sell 80% of its copies on PS4 anyway so a moneyhat seems kinda pointless.
If SE was considering pulling the plug on the Xbox version I could see MS stepping in and tossing them a bone to keep it on the platform to save face.

Not true, Phil said lots of interest in Xbox and Scorpio after his japan trip. Cancelled on PS4 more like

I doubt there'd be a moneyhat involved -- it'd just be business on SE's end.
Depending on how far KH3 is in development, it might be better to kill the Xbone one.
You are always the person who jokes to a whole new level.
I genuinely hope your account is just a parody and adapting the maximum sarcastic personality of yourself.

I don't think Sony would have anything to do with it. After the explanation for NieR not coming to X1, it seems to be a SE/MS problem.
He said to expect a meaty trailer with a release date (not sure if he means a specific date or the 2018 release year that many are expecting).
I don't really think Sony would even need to moneyhat it with the prospective sales of KH3 on XB1 after Square has made no effort to set up XB1 players for KH3, Square could have just decided it wasn't worth it to put it on there. Focusing on one platform could also make the development process a bit easier for the Osaka team who are transitioning from 3DS/PSP hardware to current gen with KH3 even if porting from platform to platform is easier with UE4. Again I doubt this but just explaining why it's not impossible in my opinion.
All your posts are sarcastic now, so many Switch posts people fell for.

You mean like the entire kh collection and 2.8 just did
They announced 3 they not gonna cancel but I don't expect another on the platform after

I don't think KH3 will skip X1 but I definitely wouldn't be surprised at all if it did. The recent KH releases this year skipped X1 and Square isn't putting NieR on the platform either. DQ11, another big Japanese game, isn't coming to X1 as well.
I don't think there's a date but I think it will confirm 2018.
I mean how those remasters skipped Xbox just like FFX, X-2 HD and soon XIIHD, but with FFXV, a mainline game actually releasing on Xbox. The same is happening with Kingdom Hearts 3.

Talking about kh3 just gets me riled up at this point. The one series that gets to me since it's my favorite. Nomura be on some ol bull sometimes
