Your spoiler tag is exactly what I'm thinking there.
We need to stop with this ridiculous over exaggeration. Gears of War, God of War, and the Batman games are not franchises on the ropes. That's just ridiculous to even think that.

Yeah vita would waste valuable Powers time.

I wonder if 4A Games will make an appearance...would love an announcement from them.
The constant GoW collections/remasters did more damage than the prequel did imo. There would wouldn't be franchise fatigue if it were just the core games. In fact people would be hungry for more right now.
I think you're understating the selling potential of a main line God of War game a tad.
The next game will sell on a platform that's killing it right now and Sony's marketing push will make sure nearly every PS4 owner knows it's coming out.
I don't believe the remasters or prequel have hurt it's potential sales one bit at this moment in time.
GoW is one of Sony's few main IP's that sell through with massive numbers too.

There will no doubt be a thread like this soon. Might be a bit early.
Tech support, from what I understand. I think they help with engines for studios like ND and Guerrilla. I also read something about sound engineering, though?

I'm pretty sure a 20 minutes long Powers 2 trailer would be more valuable for the PS4, than anything Vita.
Well...
Yeah, we saw how well that went down last year.
This is a huge thread, so excuse me if this has been asked before:
What are the odds of seeing any PS4/XB1 hardware redesigns this E3? Historically, would either company introduce a redesign at this stage of a consoles lifespan?
The PS4 is in pretty good shape design wise, but, I think their could be some aesthetic efficiencies gained on the XB1. I am honestly holding off on buying either system until a second-gen hardware design is announced and I'm hoping that E3 is when that announcement would happen.

PS4: below 10%. Still early in its life and selling great as it is, without much criticism about it.
X1: 30%? There's the same arguments than the PS4, but the design got criticism for being too big and not for everyone's tastes. Could also happen for a sales boost, but I doubt it's the priority right now. Sure it'll get one before the PS4 though.
Rumors of a new XB1 controller. I'd also say there's always a possibility of a had drive upgrade. Wouldn't get your hopes up for a major form factor change though, especially for PS4.

I'm sure MS engineers are hard at work on making a Xbone Slim, but I wouldn't count on it just yet. Don't forget that these consoles are less than 2 years old, so a redesign already seems pretty soon. Plus, Sony pretty much bypassed the first console redesign and launched a PS4 Slim model.
I don't think the GoW franchise is on the ropes at all, but it's certainly very tired. They've just rehashed the same old gameplay and environments time and time again.
The next GoW could ideally do with being a fresh reboot for the franchise, or at least feel like it's being built from the ground up for PS4. GoW 3 and GoW:A both felt too much like they were still using the PS2 games' code underneath it all, invisible walls included. PS2 games with PS3 graphics, basically.

I dont believe GOW is on the ropes at all. There's a reason why they are making a remastered version of gow3. A proper gow4 is on the way and sony is putting a lot into it. Im assuming that's why they brought cory back. The game will get a huge push feom somy and it'll sell well.

If you watch how slim notebooks can become nowerdays I wonder how slim a slim console could be (including Blueray drive of course).
Should be possible to build something slimmer than PS3 slim. And this would be quite nice.
Xbox needs a slim version urgently in my opinion.
Yup. I think GOW remastered will actually pull respectable numbers as well. When GOW4 is announced and later released. It'll sell. No doubt or question about that.

No, I'm fully expecting a repeat of E3 2009. A setpiece demo that will melt minds.
My roommate has an XB1 and we cannot currently fit it in the cubes of our entertainment center. I understand Microsoft wanted to stave off the overheating issues that plagued the 360, but the XB1 has all of the charm of a cable box from the early 90's.

It's more probable that Lord Voldemort will be there.
Pay them no mind. There's people like them every year on EVERY Sony conference thread. Haters gonna hate. Reasons don't matter to them.
Most console gaming from 2005-2015 in a nutshell tbh.
Well... Xbox/Playstation console gaming at least.
Must have gone down well enough if the show got picked up for a second season.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The Vita stuff last year wasn't really good or necessary.
The PlayStation Blog coverage should be enough for the Vita stuff.

There was vita stuff last year?!? What conference did I watch?

My guess:
July : GoW3 Remastered
Aug : Until Dawn
Sep : Tearaway Unfolded
Oct : (rumored) Uncharted Collection
Nov : No idea.

July: GoW3 Remastered
August: Until Dawn
September or October: Tearaway Unfolded
October: No Man's Sky* (might get a disc release a la Journey)
November: Uncharted Trilogy
And then of course there's their digital releases like Rime (hopefully this year), Shadow of the Beast, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, SOMA* and The Tomorrow Children.
*I know these are not first party games but I think Sony will market and push them a lot.

Add Persona to that List and 2015 is a pretty great year. Hopefully Atlus will make it
I don't think most of those games are even out yet, looks like we'll need an update this year (including details of how they are also on PS4 now).

August - Until Dawn
September - Tearaway: Unfolded
October - Uncharted Collection
November - No Man's Sky
I think there will also be some exciting releases mixed in there like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, The Tomorrow Children, SOMA, Shadow of the Beast, ect... but I think that's how their release schedule could shake out.
Hopefully Persona 5, but I don't see that hitting in 2015.
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Tamaki from Unseen 64 Tweeted this this morning-
Has he said anything that isn't so obvious?
I'm just hoping they give us a fallout 4 release date
I think SOMA would be a perfect game for Morpheus. That VR needs a good horror game

Abzu is 2016.
And that it's 2015 or at least spring 2016. An 18 month wait would just be too much, I'd probably go insane.
Are you just speculating here, because I'm not sure bundles that add value as the series ages could even remotely be considered franchise fatigue to such an extent that the whole thing is now "on the ropes". Does that hold true for MGS given the multiple collections that released there? I wouldn't say that franchise is on the ropes. I don't follow your logic here.
I think people are plenty hungry for more. Of course, it's the kind of people that aren't Neogaf posters.

this is no shit territory. You don't even have to be an insider to know this.
