It's so reactionary hahaSony not attending E3: Let's avoid an official announcement. We'll tell game sites this and they can tell gamers. This will prevent gamers bombing our Twitter
MS attending E3: Let's make an official announcement we'll be there. We'll do it on Twitter.
MS should open every game video with "E3 Exclusive"WORLD PREMIERRRRRRE...

Dreams: FebMan Sony better do that event in February so they can get the news cycle for a bit because once xbox show's the superior console with amazing looking games plus a cheaper console it's over for sony
I wonder how stuff like this affects publishing deals and stuff. Especially for indies. E3 presser is the big stage every indie game wants to be on and one isn’t even holding a presser do they go to the other guy for the exposure?
Especially during a generational shift where you don’t know where the chips will land, and MS can sweeten the pot with some Gamepass money.

Ehhhhh, if I was an indie game I don’t think I’d be happy with half a second of my game being shown in a sizzle reel of other indie games sandwiched in between some other stuff.I think that really depends on what Sony has planned. Right now we don't know what major events they have planned, if any, to essentially replace their E3 presence. If, for example, Sony plans some big event of their own during the Summer then that would easily be a place for indies and major third-parties to show off their games with them. I've felt that if Sony continued to walk away from E3 then they should do PlayStation Experience again but during Summer instead of Winter. Now if they're not doing anything major, which I feel would be a bad call, then they might find themselves in an uphill battle with outside studios and publishers who want big exposure.
They changed it back.Somebody made a typo on PlayStation memos and they all ran with it.
It now says “For the payers”

At E3 I could sit down and demo my game for 15 mins at a time to every press outlet over a 2 day period and have it streamed live.
There is a very big difference between E3 and a Sony presser during the summer.
That’s like saying the Super Bowl and the Rose Bowl are the same thing.
They changed it back.
It's now #ForTheFlutePlayers
Rumour has it the flute guy is being rehired, will dress up as a ninja and throw pointy stars.
Pssst. This is pretty clearly a fanboy circle jerk thread at this point. Don't try to reason with them rn.Who says it would be that way? I'm pretty sure PlayStation Experience was a multi-day event with press and public. They even had panels over the course of the event. Game stations were setup for people to play. A lot of people felt like it was Sony's own E3 event in the Winter. It just depends on how big Sony wants to go with it but nothing says it's a simple "here's some game videos... thanks for your time!"
That doesn’t sound like a company doing it to save money, as has been the narrative from some people. I’d like to see viewer numbers for the live streams from previous ones compared to E3.Who says it would be that way?

Seems reasonable, make a point with no evidence and then call people fanboys.Pssst. This is pretty clearly a fanboy circle jerk thread at this point. Don't try to reason with them rn.

If we want to act like they are the same.
Oh so you are assuming?I'm not interested in the narrative people have in their heads. If you want to spend your time looking for view counts and whatnot be my guest. I'm saying if Sony does a major event to replace their lack of presence at E3 then there is no reason to assume that it wouldn't be something good enough for indies and major publishers to get behind. IF they do something major. There is the possibility they won't, which in that case there is a problem.
Oh so you are assuming?
Sorry I thought you were taking examples from the past. There’s nothing to talk about here.
The other Playstation experiences have been one night deals where they do the presser, they play the games under supervised settings the next day and go home and write about them. They haven’t even come close to what E3 is.I was making conversation. Talking about possibilities. Sorry, I thought that's what we do here.
If they go, they better have lots of games to announce, here’s what I want: obsidian open world rpg, AAA inexile Crpg, fable 4, halo infinite gameplay, AOE4 new civ 1v1 gameplay + release date, MS flight gameplay + release date, new forza plus 1 big JRPG studio acquisition plus teaser trailer. Also hoping for enhanced hololens and New new physics Engine demonstration. Last year was very disappointing but Microsoft do have the most potential to deliver the best e3 ever with all the possibilities.
Dreams: Feb
Final Fantasy 7: March
Nioh 2: March
TLOU Part 2: May
Ghost of Tsushima: June - September
I have a feeling Sony will have an amazing 2020 that will be hard to top

This time it’s going to change though?
By the way this is way off topic and should be in the Sony not going to E3 thread instead.
I got banned for derailing my own thread previously so I’m going to end it here,
They were actually two-day events and plenty of major publishers got on board with it as well as some indies. The extent to what they got to show and talk about, I'm not sure. But if Sony wants to hold a similar major event and "improve"" it, I don't see why they couldn't. It's not really off topic since you decided to point out them not being at E3 as to how that could effect marketing deals on Microsoft's behalf. It's part of the conversation. Sorry you don't like it and want to keep resorting to being passive-aggressive. I'm not surprised given your history.
Xbots so desperate to have Phil go on stage present them a new car and lie to them about how many "exclusives" their 20 studio acquisitions will release 20 years from now that they don't even try to figure it out.
