Shinobi doubling down on that Horizon delay. Eh, that's alright. I've got Dragon Quest Builders coming in October so I'm good.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Horizon being delayed is fine. It's a massive new IP that I feel Sony and Guerrilla absolutely have to nail. More time means a better game and a slower release window means more eyes on it and people buying it.

Plus they have The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo, and PSVR for the holiday season.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Lol.

Nope.

Even if you're wrong this time I'll still believe what you say but are you %100 sure of this?

 

[DieH@rd]

Lol.

Nope.

Looks like Sony is pushing on with the belief that "wave of inertia" will sell their console during holidays no matter what 1st party games they release in that period... This has served them well so far in PS4 gen, they released more exclusives outside holiday season to boost sales during "quiet" months/quarters.

Anyways, reasons be damned, I hope the game will be great [and that Sony will market it better than Until Dawn/Ratchet].

With how the PS4 is selling, do they really need to go with MS's "playoff" style game release schedule?

 

[Shredderi]

The fact that GG said last year that they would delay into 2017 if necessary confirmed that it wouldn't release in 2016. They were just softening the eventual blow.

so, looks like Destiny's new stuff will be revealed next week, before the Sony's conference

They never confirmed 2016 anyway. Just 'targeting 2016'

fantastic

Lol.

Nope.

Sir, can we expect any teaser from you in the next days ?

Before? Huh. I wouldn't be surprised if they still show something Destiny related at the conference tho.

Why do you always want the surprises to be ruined lol. C'mon, E3 is right around the corner, you can survive with out hints/leaks/teases.

oh that will totally happen
but a early reveal could mean a shorter segment during the conference

Spoiler

i hope lol

Zoetis, get in here! xP

Take the extra months if it means making the game better.

Crash Bandicoot PS4 listing in Germany

Probably nothing since they list TLOU2 as well, though.

Pretty late on this particular bandwagon but is this confirmed to be fake?

Gopher's tease satiated my desire for teases and what not. I don't want any leaks either.

Insomniac games announces ape escape reboot using the ratchet and clank engine. Also available after the show ape escape 2&3 for ps2 classics with platinum trophies.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

I'm curious: why do people want to see Agent so badly? Did we even see any gameplay of it, or do people want to see it simply because it was being made by Rockstar and became vaporware much like The Last Guardian?

Yeah, the challenge accepted and the poem.

It was a new IP from one of the best developers in the industry. It isn't complicated.

Yes, please!

I think being a new IP by Rockstar (and Ps3 exclusive back then) was enough reason for many people.

Just from this description alone,

The game is set during the Cold War and will take players into "the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations

and the fact that is being made by Rockstar, should be enough to get anyone hyped, specially after RDR.

1970s espionage. By Rockstar. It would be badass.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I'm fine with the Horizon delay. I will be VERY disappointed if that game flops. Same for NieR Automata which also expect/hope gets delayed.

 

[I-hate-u]

Lol.

Nope.

This holiday season will be a slaughter fest anyway.

iirc according to Square, Nier Automata is Q2 2017 at least

I figured as much. Based on footage they showed during the concert it had no chance of being ready for a 2016 release unless it was rushed.

This obviously doesn't rule out Destiny being shown off in some capacity at Sony's conference, but I do like what it suggests about the amount of time that will be spent on Destiny.

On a separate note, I see throughout this thread some talk of "E3 spoilers." I feel like I'm almost alone in just wanting to know everything now. I don't care too much about the song and dance that Sony will do. I'm much more interested in the information itself. The spin and polish are fun to analyze, but they're superfluous.

Eh, it isn't like people are clamoring for PR speech lol. It is just wanting to experience that surprise of finally figuring out what will be announced.

Imagine if TLG, FF7R and Shenmue 3 had been full blown leaked before E3. Like images and videos and the whole nine yards. Those moments at E3 would have been ruined or at least heavily dampened. Fortunately, there were just reports that nobody believed.

 

[Bollocks]

Heavenly Sword 2, do it Sony

 

[Acquiescence]

I just want to say, I was calling the Horizon delay aeons ago. Even if it was ready in time, releasing a new IP like that in the midst of the holiday season would be sending it to its death anyway. A February-April date will be far more beneficial for the game.

 

[potatohead]

I thought NT is basically already making this, a spiritual successor at least?

Right. I totally get the desire to be surprised. But I'd prefer a leak of everything in Sony's conference right now. The problem is that there's not a good way for leakers to leak trailers/gameplay.

 

[sn00zer]

All I want is Ape Escape with HITMAN-like levels and Medievil to be aknowledged

just a tease, not a leak ^^

 

[farisr]

good bye shinobi

 

[wrestleman]

Ape Escape with HITMAN-like levels

Elaborate?

 

[sn00zer]

Elaborate?

Hitman 2016 levels are wide open, literally you can go anywhere. It just kinda makes sense for Ape Escape which already had pretty open levels.

 

[El-Pistolero]

I'm really lowering my hype right now.

I can't see Sony, or any company topping last year's press conference. Final Fantasy VII, Shenmue 3, and the Last Guardian were all confirmed to be real. When was the last time three "legendary" franchises were all resurrected on one stage?

The other thing:
I know the idea of bringing back old IPs sounds great in a forum post; but I just don't see it being one that moves the needle or does any thing for any one outside of the most faithful. This is what kinda gets me when people are calling this year's Sony E3 Dreams 2.0.

I think this year's E3 will be more in line with Sony's 2014 press conference, or Sony's 2008 press conference. They'll have a solid mix of third party, and just enough first party to reinforce their commitment to exclusive content. That's it.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Well, if your definition of what makes a conference great is the announcement of long awaited, eagerly anticipated games, then it stands to reason that last year's will never be topped. If, however, you are of those who can put aside the powerfully distorting effect of the heart and judge any showing by the sheer variety, originality and ambition of the games on stage, then I strongly believe that Sony has what it takes to produce their best E3 to date...

 

[everyday math]

Nope.

I hate you

GT Sport is november. We still don't know when TLG will launch too.

August, September, and December are the three months that I can see them releasing TLG in. I think they'll try to keep October relatively clear because of PSVR.

So do we think sony will show or mention the Neo at E3, or is it now March 2017 ?
