Vr sections for the win! Not only because I have one and its fun but because of the salt it brings that Sony wants to support a platform while we yell about the vita 😭

Sony Playstation: First Party Studios & their Current Projects
- Thread starter JuanLatino
- Start date
I'm expecting a solid but unspectacular show from PGW.
- God of War gameplay and perhaps release date
- Detroit release window
- Dreams re-reveal hopefully with a beta date
- Wild update... still no release window
- A reminder that GT Sport is out
- Sony London VR game announced
- Sony Manchester VR game announced
- Perhaps a new game or two from Xdev. No idea what they could be though. Maybe VR, maybe PlayLink, maybe AA.

Last I heard he still had creative director as his job title on his linkedin page, so there's hope yet

Regarding Pixelopus, I can see them making a playlink or a VR game
I'd be fine with a new IP from Moore. He could be another Ueda type for them, just make something super unique and awesome every time

Are the GoW predictions for PGX because of GoW having a history of under-performing in Europe, so they'd want to demo it at PGX for more interest?
Could happen, but they've barely shown off the game. I doubt we'll get anything

I think God of War is PSX
I was going to São Paulo to see him, but it didnt work out :/
I am so fucking sad. So close yet so far. T-T

They had stuff like Horizon at PGW in 2015. I think they'll want to incorporate games like GoW and Spider-Man even if they are saving details for PSX.
And yeah, since they claim the change was partially because of Europe, it would make sense to have it there in some shape or form.

Give PSVR the Vita treatment? May as well just kill it off at that point. I don't have a PSVR headset but I think it's important to include it in their shows.
I will say that they need to do a much better job showing it off than they did at E3 though. Grouping all the VR games into a solid block only drags the show down for people with no interest in VR, so they should spread the VR games out throughout the show instead.
yep!
Press day is tomorrow, and first party wise I'll be playing some Detroit and getting a Days Gone behind closed doors presentation (and maybe a Detroit one too). Was hoping for something God Of War but its not happening

Ready for those sweet impressions!
Id be fine with killing it. Spreading the vr section would be terrible because instead of skipping one big chunk Id have to skip several small ones.
There are other people who watch the show just for VR portion, because they invested $400+ on the system. Asking Sony to kill off the VR portion is a slap to face of the fanbase. Like it or not, VR is here to stay. The whole point of the conference is to showcase games, not iust the ones that are catered to you.

PSVR is selling too well to kill off in the conferences.
And good for them. They took a risk and it's paying off.

I am fully convinced that PGW will have a big focus on PSVR and PlayLink games
Their European internal studios and partners are the ones pushing software for these platforms really heavily, so its natural that they will have a big presence there
Thats also why I think more traditional software announcements will be held for PSX

PSVR games should be sprinkled throughout. And treated less like a segment and more like, "isn't this a cool game you want to pick up?"
That was the issue with E3. Good idea to focus on VR. Just poorly executed.

Yes. I hope Sony fill the 2D platformer gap in their line up. Puppeteer is a great one! Hope Pixelopus or japan studio do a great platformer game.
Horizon is European made though. I know technically it means nothing because any studio can get a trailer together for an overseas conference but it was Guerrilla's most local event and they didn't go to PSX afterwards.

Sure, if you want to significantly hurt the company and brand. Selling over a million people a $400 peripheral and then killing it a year later would be a monumental fuck up.
Yet Uncharted 4 was shown at E3, PGW, TGS and PSX in 2015. While Horizon was shown at E3, PS Meeting, TGS and PSX in 2016.
I think Sony pretty obviously have different policies for showing games based on how far they're away from release. And since God of War and Spider-Man are meant to be out in the next 9 months, it makes sense for them to start ramping up their promotion.
Plus, as has been mentioned a few times, Sony really wants God of War to be a hit in Europe, so it makes sense to focus on it there.

God of War gameplay at PGX would be a pleasant surprise.
GoW is defs a March release. If it gets delayed, it'll be a short month or two.

Hm, that is true. My expectations are low but I'll be happy if I'm wrong. If God of War is March I do think a release date will be confirmed before December which would leave PGW or a blog post...

Sure, if they're actually planning price cuts, PGW would be the right place to announce them.

It would be the best place to do it. It is right before the peak of the holiday period.

What time is their PGW conference? Depending on how early it is on the west coast I might not watch it live.

8AM PST

Yeah that might be too early for me. When I have to get up that early I never sleep well. I only end up getting like 3-4 hours of sleep and I'm unable to fall back to sleep. I'll be awake and watch the press conference live, but I'll feel like shit the entire day until I take my nightly medication that lets me fall asleep. Anything that starts between 5-9am (like Nintendo's E3 Directs) I just usually watch when I get up.

I'm going to be purchasing a PSVR this holiday season. I already have RE7 and will be purchasing The Inpatient (main reason I'm getting one) are there any other must have games I need to purchase?
VanCityGamer
Member
Probably best to see how Inpatient turns out first?
If you haven't played Thumper, it's on a whole other level when played in VR.
whatever6352
Member
I seriously doubt that it'll be a dud, but you're right and I'll be buying the PSVR after the game launches anyways. If it sucks I'll skip it and consider waiting on the PSVR purchase.
Thanks for the recommendation. Will add it to my list.

Supermassives other title - Rush of Blood is also meant to be good, dont have VR myself tho... yet.
Also tempted to pick it up for The Inpatient.

Expecting God of War and Detroit: Become Human gameplay videos and release dates at PGW. Also expecting a blowout for Dreams with an early 2018 release date for the Beta.

Not expecting GoW or Spidey at PGW at all. PSX is around the corner. PGW will get the smaller, EU centric stuff.
And maybe Dreams.

SOTC is likely releasing in the first half based on what Shawn Layden said last year. No word on Detroit yet besides 2018 in general.

Hard to Kill
I don't know what you guys were talking about but I personnally were reeally bored with Thumpert when playing without VRT whereas in VR it felt lika a LSD trip.
My advice ... try some weede or shrooms before but never alcohol you'll fly in another world.

And hopefully Dreams. It really needs a proper re-reveal, and being at a smaller show like PGW will allow it to take more of the limelight.

REZ Infinite.
Superhot
I also can confirm Rush of Blood is totally worth it.
REZ Infinite is good but it makes me nauseous.
Thumper is also good and a better experience than non-VR, but is not a crazy VR experience as RE7 and Superhot are.
There's a Neogaf thread that deals exclusively with VR games and you can get great recommendations there
Edit: Damn, I forgot Farpoint. Also totally worth it if you can get it with the Bundle

Yeah, PSX probably fits GoW better for the release day announcement. Spidey could get a short open world demo, but with no solid release date announced.

I was wondering if a release date trailer for Spiderman will be shown at the Game Awards, PSX might get another gameplay demo. Share out the footage.
