I actually was counting on it being next year. Hell, I got so many games to play this year just from the beginning of the year I kinda want it to be next year. Not to mention I have no games I'm looking forward to next year other than Days Gone. So it will make next year a huge drought. I guess I've had 2 -3 years of decent games (can't remember which year but the year GTA V came out on PS4 was the last bad game year for me... it was sad when a remaster was my GOTY cause there really was nothing else that came out that year that I wanted).
It's only April. An announcement at E3 gives plenty of time for marketing. Not that I think that's the right date. No way they drop this in august and gow4 in the fall. One of these will be fall one will be q1 2018 around the horizon date.
