It would seem a bit weird to have GR HD and GR2 not at a Japanese event first, but I guess it's possible.
I mean, I'd love for that to be the case.
Even with the cancelled project, this isn't technically true.
Shinobi was hinting at it a lot for TGS, but it seemed like it was pulled last minute, so I'm hyped.
Also forgot TLG

Do you count Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and The Order as SSM projects?
It seems like any other meme that people who don't fit in much cling to so they can try to fit in with all of the other people jokingly yelling "TLG!"

The December revael has become a bit of a thing for Sony so I was wondering what they would do now that Spike wont be doing a thing
I hope we get something new at this thing. Maybe its time for GG's new game. Would fit if its early 16 beacuse I dont think they will need another game competing with Uncharted that holiday.

Interesting. Not sure if mentioned yet, but I think Sony is doing this as a reaction to the abysmal VGA's last year.
Better to have your own event than to waste big reveals at a laughing stock show that has become increasingly irrelevant.

They have stuff in pre-production. That shouldn't be surprising.

If Tidux is right I'm guessing it might be GG's open world rpg and Sony Japan's rpg.
Man TLG has gotten to the point where it just derails any sony hype threads lol.

Yeah, really. Game studios being game studios.
I'm not expecting much Japanese game news. Probably a FFXV trailer in English, which would align with Jump Festa and the demo being scheduled for the near future.

Yeah, it deserves to be there in some fashion even if they keep the gameplay blowout for E3. Maybe a sweet real first full trailer for the story and some glimpses at gameplay like they used to do at VGA. Can't wait.
Stig's game was canceled but not the other. Not sure what you're talking about.

Isn't the accepted wisdom nowadays that Barlog's project is a God of War sequel?
That's what some believe yes, so far there is no evidence that this is the case outside of it being a profitable franchise for Sony and what SSM is best known for.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Well E3 and what not I'm sure Sony doesn't charge and make money from people attending, their press conferences are free I assume for everyone since it's mostly journalists. Their cinema screenings of E3 I imagine only the cinemas made money on with concessions and such.
I don't know if Nintendo or Microsoft have had conferences where they charged admission to show of their games.
I'm not saying they shouldn't do it or that it should be free with Sony incurring all the costs. I think this might just be the first time one of the big three has done this.
Only 1 is 1st partY no?

Press conferences and E3 are for journalists and industry people so I don't think they charge money there.
Its normal for normal expos to charge people however. Like Gamescom and I think TGS both have admission fees, though this is higher IIRC.
As far as I can see this is the first time one of the big three is charging because this is the first time on the of the big three is personally hosting an event for normal people.
Tidux still has credibility?

It'd be very sad for me if it turned out to be a GoW, but I can't say I blame Sony for going with what works.

Well they better have some damn good shit to show to justify charging people. They would get torn to shreds if it was just already revealed games and demos.
Journalists/Enthusiasts don't pay Sony because Sony doesn't host E3. They pay ESA.
Sony is hosting this event - you pay Sony to access it.

Everyone who attends will most likely get a ton of swag and a code for at least one game.

Likely nothing new will be shown. Sony just out to make a buck.
Yeah, because that makes sense. Renting out a huge venue and setting up all kinds of booths/playable demos/getting their development teams in place... all those huge expenses will be offset by a few thousand people paying $90 for the weekend? Not only offset, but profit? That makes no sense.

The Order 1886 and Bloodborne must be there. Aww yisssss
December is rather soon than very soon
Yeeeeees!! I want new info for that game.
They might announce a Nathan Drake Collection then. And hopefully it won't be a clothing line.

That's what I was thinking. This pretty much confirms that there's no VGA stuff happening this year. I don't care what form a December event takes though, just give me them bomb drops.

Not really, this is pretty much the convention model. It's meant for enthusiast/fans. Stuff like developer panels, swag station selling game-related merchandises. meet & greets, autograph sessions are the going to be the real driver for these events. Game demos and exclusive reveals are anticipated, but it's the sweetener.
I would be surprised if we saw any major reveals at at this. Updates on announced titles, (Ratchet, UC4, etc ) and stuff like Uncharted Collection, etc.
I personally think comparisons to E3 or Gamescom is kinda flawed. It's closer to things like PAX or NYCC.

E3 ticket is very expensive, about $1000.
Industry Pass free but not Expo Pass
