Support NeoGAF

[Sidewinder]

Doubt they can slim the console much. However not having something with 4k BR playback this fall will be a mistake with the One S due. Sony being beat to BR playback puts a little egg on their face.

Yeah would be kinda strange, considering how MS backed HD-DVD back in the days

 

[orochi91]

How do you mean? You think the presser is going to be a complete non-event?

I got you covered fam:

Okay, since we're two days away I'm going to make my prediction for Sony's conference:

- The conference opens with a sizzle reel set to an upbeat song. It shows off PS4 games released this year, a well as some of the games announced throughout 2015 that have yet to be released.

- "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Shawn Layden!" Shawn Layden walks on stage. He's not wearing a shirt that would tease an upcoming game - perhaps he may not even be wearing a shirt at all. Shawn Layden says "It's been a great year for PlayStation. We shipped Uncharted 4 and Ratchet & Clank to critical and commercial acclaim. We also shipped Hardware Rivals. Remember Hardware Rivals?" Shawn mentions sales numbers, network stats, etc. Anyhow, on with the show!

- Sony Bend rep comes on stage. (Dead Don't Ride gameplay demo.)

- Herman Hulst comes on stage. (Horizon: Zero Dawn demo.)

- Shuhei Yoshida takes the stage. "Last year I had the honour of reannouncing one gaming's most anticipated releases. Today were here to give you an extended look at The Last Guardian!" (The Last Guardian Demo)

- "But that's not all Japan Studio has been working on," says Shu, "we have one more surprise from Mark Cerny!' (Knack 2 trailer)

- Shawn Layden comes back on stage. He's wearing a Legend of Dragoon t-shirt. But he's here to announce Crash Bandicoot! Sony will also be bringing the original trilogy to PS4 as updated PSOne Classics. (Crash Bandicoot trailer) Shawn also mentions that Crash will be available as in the new Skylanders as a PS4 exclusive. This let's us segue into...

- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare demo

- Destiny Rise of Iron demo

- Ubisoft rep comes on stage. Exclusive content for Watch_Dogs 2. (I'd also guess that if Ubi shows off a new game during their conference it might appear on stage again here in some capacity).

- Stage presence given to either one 2K title or EA title.

- Gio Corsi comes out on stage. It's indie time!

- Trailer for Insomniac's Spider-man game.

- Andrew House comes on stage. Talks about Sony's great partnership with Marvel/Disney. Then there's some talk about VR, complete with a sizzle reel.

- Shawn Layden comes back on stage. He says they have one last thing to show. (God of War IV demo)

Given what's been heavily hinted at by Shinobi and others, it's pretty easy to put together a template of Sony's conference tomorrow.

I'm personally not expecting any "megaton" caliber announcements.

 

[Acquiescence]

You think it isnt? All the major news has been leaked by now, expecting anything else will leave you dissapointed.

But nothing has been leaked on Sony's end, apart from that Crash Skylanders game? We've had insiders come here and drop details, but that doesn't constitute as a leak.

 

[Audioboxer]

Either Neo is def coming this year or a PS4 revision with 4k playback will come out. Doubt you could call it a slim though as I honestly doubt Sony can make it much smaller. The innards of the PS4 are packed tightly.

 

[The Pope]

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

GOW IV and Dead Don't Ride are leaks.

 

[Freeman76]

I will eat my hat if there is a big reveal in Sonys conference. They have let their foot right off the gas now they are so far ahead of the competition.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Save E3 Sony!

 

[Shabad]

GOW IV and Dead Don't Ride are leaks.

God of War was technically announced a long time ago. Dead Don't Ride is a trademark, not a leak.

Same, keeping expectation check, no insider hype going to change that. Just need to see some good first party gameplay and that's it.
GR2 & TLG release this year will me my dream thou.

BTW, missing Adam in your show rundown.

Maybe add RE7, but that's pretty much it.

Search: Detroit, nothing found.

You fail

 

[GarciaHotspur]

God of War was technically announced a long time ago. Dead Don't Ride is a trademark, not a leak.

Insiders told us that Dead Don't Ride is real and what's the type of game. we had concept arts for GOW IV.

 

[Daft Punk]

Sony going to let MS beat them to the market with 4K?

In the words of Drake:

"It ain’t about who did it first, it’s ’bout who did it right."

 

[Acquiescence]

In the words of Drake:

Which Uncharted is that from?

Not even a picture of either game...Talk about some leak!

About the conference tonight, I do not see Sucker Punch in there. I think that their project will not be unveiled this year, Bend and Santa Monica will be the main First Party guests on this E3 stage,,,

 

[Blablurn]

Can't wait for Sony

 

[Javin98]

Which Uncharted is that from?

Wondering that myself. Don't remember Nathan Drake saying that at all.

 

[Loudninja]

I going to assume you are joking

 

[Linconan]

IF,
anyone comes across any Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement/confirmation etc.
Please PM me.
I don't want to miss anything, if, it is.

My Kids have been complicated today

The rapper darlings.

 

[tomato shrub]

Hype-level on life support after EA and Bethesda.

Goddamn it, I automatically assumed Drake was our dear Nathan Drake. Guy's too lovable not to be the first thing on your mind.

Spoiler

And I'm going to miss him.

 

[jiggle]

I don't wanna miss out on chrono trigger 2
But not sure if it's worth stay up 2am-4am for this
That's gonna ruin a whole day of vacation trip

Save SP for PSX. GG and SP both release a launch title, GG second title just 8 months away. SP new game shouldn't be that far out.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Sure. I hope you don't actually believe they have nothing good to show because it hasn't leaked.

 

[Lichter]

No leaks so far?

 

[jiggle]

No leaks so far?

Rdr
Re7 exclusive

 

[The God]

No leaks so far?

Few gaffers saying RE7 is an exclusive

 

[Lichter]

Interesting, thanks

 

[Turkoop]

Couldn't sleep well. too much hype.

all i recommend tonight is that you guys kick back with your favourite game you've been itching to replay and just enjoy yourself.

e3 will come soon enough. no sense celebrating christmas on christmas eve.

MY FAVOURITE GAME IS AGENT, WHERE IS IT DRAGON

 

[xxl30001]

2nd part of that gif...alas it's the bad ending, but I'm sure Sony will bring the real ending to E3:

omg :,(

 

[Jack cw]

Sony going to let MS beat them to the market with 4K?

4k is far from a market. it's niche at least. They have VR, which for them is the bigger deal.

 

[Simply Sami]

A lot of people are going to be disappointed when most the conference is going to be dedicated to VR.

I really hope not.

 

[kurahador]

Hype-level on life support after EA and Bethesda.

And we still have MS, PC Gamer and Ubisoft to go through.

 

[Get_craycray]

I don't understand his comment since PS4 Neo will have 4K too.

 

[Rozart]

You are a genius at gif making.

 

[driver116]

It's pretty much 'free' for any modern piece of hardware.

 

[KZObsessed]

I'm expecting Sony's conference to be mainly focused on first party. They'll show a few 3rd party games of course with some exclusive content/marketing but I'm not expecting any big 3rd party exclusive deals. They're too expensive these days and Sony don't really need them.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

4k is far from a market. it's niche at least. They have VR, which for them is the bigger deal.

There is about zero percent chance of that happening. 10 to 15 minutes at most for VR.

Do you consider games like Bloodborne and SFV big 3rd party exclusives? Hell they just signed Kojima for a 3rd party exclusive. I don't think they are done with them at all.

 

[justsomeguy]

Interested by what Sony have to show even though I'm an Xbox guy. Do hope it's not just psvr (I'm sure it won't be) but I want to see some more awesome first /second party content and not money hat exclusives.

 

[wapplew]

They need to show Spider-man, RE7 VR, Ace combat VR and GT sport which might longer than 15 minutes. /jk

 

[kurahador]

I think they'll just announce some VR booth at the show floor like Bethesda did and ends it with VR games montage.

 

[prwxv3]

Bloodborne is considered first party for Sony.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Im hoping it goes something like this:

- Dark room with the audience waiting.

- Music starts playing over the dark room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i8qAZOu5-g

- Single spotlight illuminates a large wooden crate in the centre.

- Shawn Layden bursts out of the crate Kool-Aid style with an Aku Aku mask on, then says they have a lot to get through, but firstly something you have all been waiting for.

- Crash PS4 trailer.

- The rest of the show proceeds as expected, RDR2 gets announced, RE7 etc, COD demo.

- Middle of the show, another megaton, MediEvil reboot trailer, developed by From Software.

- Some sections on PSVR games, No Mans Sky is officially a PSVR title. Some other third party demos.

- Silent Hills is back on.

- Spider-Man announcement.

- Winding down to the end, GOD4 (God of War: Ragnarok maybe) trailer, melts faces, they all thank every one for coming.

- Shawn Layden comes back on stage with a columbo style "just one over thing", Spyro The Dragon reboot trailer.

- Jack Tretton comes back onto stage with his microphone, waits for a moment as the audience goes quiet, then nonchalantly says "boom" drops the mic and walks off the stage.

 

[Neff]

Sony having a Resident Evil VR exclusive isn't unrealistic by any means. In fact it'd be quite ideal for them.

But it being RE7 is very unrealistic.

If they do have one, it'll be a spin-off, side-story title.

 

[mulac]

Come on Dark Souls remaster...

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Bloodborne is considered first party for Sony.

Yes by virtue of IP ownership, but the studio that made it is definitely a major third party and they paid for it just like a 3rd party exclusive.

 

[Rozart]

- Shawn Layden comes back on stage with a columbo style "just one over thing", Spyro The Dragon reboot trailer.

Everyone loves Crash but I've always loved Spyro more. Activision's Spyro is so fugly.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

RE 7 and Spiderman are VR games?

Hello darkness my old friend.
