CGI into gameplay and mass hysteria over whether it is NEO footage or not.
Expecting the same for Dead Don't Ride

I feel this is really optimistic.
I think they'll announce a 2017 release date and it'll actually launch in March, 2018.

Ha ha, you just put the idea of a NRS vs Sony game in my head.
Elena vs Mileena, Fight.
Oh, God, please no. That would be so long since SSM's last game. I can't wait to see a revamped GOW in Norse mythology and having to wait until 2018 would be horrible. I can see it releasing in May or June, probably delayed to July, maybe. Don't see why they must necessarily stick to March. Uncharted 4, for instance, broke the series's tradition of releasing during the holiday season.
If NRS is working on something like that, I'd rather it not exist. Don't want to see Nathan Drake saying stupid ass lines and the story being a mess.

Oh, I don't think they're planning on March. I'm predicting a late 2017 release window with a delay into March of the following year!
I'd love a new God of War next year but I'm not too optimistic about it. SWS has been totally fine with delaying projects this generation.
Don't seem too far fetched to me. IIRC, Ascension was released less than a year after its reveal. Of course, GOW3 was released almost two years after its reveal, but its reveal was a CGI trailer.
Also, seeing your Bloodborne avatar, it reminds me of something. I would love it if GOW took some inspiration from Bloodborne. I would want a GOW game with a wide open map, optional areas, vague backstory and combat closer to Bloodborne's.

Maybe next week's reveal will also be CG?
I actually think it'll be a demo though....at least I hope.

nononono, dead don't ride will be "2017"
then q1 of 2018
then q1 of 2018
I sure hope not. Speaking strictly of first party titles, Sony has been moving away from CGI trailers, I hope it stays that way. The Horizon reveal is the way to do it.

Definitely. I'm hoping that unveiling was a sign of how they plan on handling future reveals.

The way I look at it:
- if the game will go dark for one whole year, they'll do a Horizon-style gameplay reveal
- if the game will be shown again in new capacity in less than a year, they will do in-engine or CGi
- if the game will go dark for one whole year, they'll do a Horizon-style gameplay reveal
- if the game will be shown again in new capacity in less than a year, they will do in-engine or CGi

I'm hoping for a Horizon style reveal no matter the release date.
GoW more then anything needs the cutscene to gameplay transition followed by the camera panning back to reveal some giant sized enemy.

Start with a black screen, fade in -
"Sony Interactive Entertainment Presents"
Fade to black
Naughty Dog logo appears, then fades.
Nathan Drake voiceover: "I made a promise that I was done with this life... I kept that promise... As long as I could..."
Open with Drake in a Jeep driving through the streets of a foreign city, scraping against cars parked on the side of the street. He sounds panicked as he comes to an intersection, "Oh crap, no no no!" The camera pans to the right as Sully, in another Jeep, hits Nate's Jeep and sends it spinning out of control.

I'd play it.
Doesn't have to be Unkarted. I can see this being introduced to the MP in a patch. The SP already has driving sections.

I think it makes perfect sense when you consider that most characters that people identify with Sony originated in a fully 3D environment. A game like Power Stone would allow those characters to be most like they are in their own games. And that's an obvious strength of Smash. Yes, there are certainly some characters that originated in 3D games in Smash, but the majority of the characters started in 2D games. So they make complete sense for a 2.5D fighter and they work really well like that.
Imagine if you could run behind cover with Drake or use his new grappling hook just like you do in U4, or if Kat could properly use her gravity powers. Those are all things that are entirely possible with a game that's built like Power Stone.
I'd take digs at it and then buy it anyway day one.
The original knack is tough as nails on harder difficulties.

It would otherwise be at Sony's conference, where it may get overshadowed by some other announcements. IIRC this isn't supposed to be a major expansion but rather a stop gap they put together quickly since Destiny 2 got pushed forward a year, right?

Hopefully Destiny info doesnt get shown again at Sonys presser, but you know it will.
Hoping for a 2 hr conference because there is so much stuff I can think of that Sony can spend time on thats going to bring it a bit down.

We don't know how big it is. We don't know how far Destiny 2 got delayed. The Twitch reveal is just odd.

Dark Cloud 3 anyone?

It's either Bungie has something else to show/sell (expansion pack or D2) or that Sony's conference has too many megatons.
Re-watching last year's conference, it was just slightly more than an hour and a half and they managed to put in a crapload of megatons, so perhaps they can do it again this year? Then again, the Neo might be announced at the conference next week, so yeah, the longer, the better. Even 5 minutes is enough for a reveal that crashes the Internet.

It's bigger then the first 2 DLCs we got for Destiny. Not quite as large as TTK.
Man I would love a Destiny 2 trailer. Just anything would be nice.

I don't think it's beyond possibility, especially if our guardians carry over.

There would be a lot of angry people if they didn't carry over.

Yea, personally I just want lots of announcements.
And theres a lot of stuff you can expect will get some decent time.
Neo, VR, NMS, Destiny maybe, CoD and so on.
I just want a decent focus on first party/Japanese titles/exclusives though I think that wont be the case. Probably a 50/50 split.
Ugh, NMS has been shown way too much. I hope we get nothing more than a 2 minute trailer this time. Hopefully COD and Destiny don't overstay their welcome as well. It would be nice if Sony can keep the Neo announcement to 10 minutes or less. I'm dreaming here, but I wonder if it's possible after the essential info of the Neo has been announced, Mark Cerny comes on stage and says "Free upgrade for existing PS4 owners" and walks off. Would drive the audience (and me) insane.

What if Kojima comes on stage and announces his next project is a pachinko game?

Yeah, I hope there's a good mix. The mix of first party, Western, and Japanese titles really added to last year's conference.

Yeah, I think they do that again, though last year's was pretty tight and I think they are usually in the neighborhood of 2 hours, so I wouldn't be surprised if this year's is a little longer again.
Plus they had a couple of sections that might be a little bit more fleshed out this year like the mid-conference VR which was basically an Andrew House mostly-boring speech with some footage on the screen, whereas I think we'll get it more announcement style this time like the PSX new VR quick game announcement trailers (not the difficult live demo that crashed and burned, I don't see them doing a live demo again after that, atleast not at an E3 which I think they've learned needs to be relatively "fast paced") with launch getting closer and more games probably dated.
Most important is a lot of announcements though.
Then I will personally fly to Los Angeles and shove a pachinko machine up his ass.

Yea, NMS should be a trailer max. But you and me know it won't be.
I think VR will be fairly short. Neo will probably be the most significant in terms of taking up time.
Hopefully they get both done in the beginning and just append Neo/VR compatible after trailers where necessary.

And would drive sony executives insane lol
True, but I'm really just hoping for a crazy trade in deal. Something like trade in your current PS4 and pay $100 for a Neo would make me bite immediately.
Yep, hopefully we get a gigaton in the opening, a megaton or two in the middle and a megaton plus a gigaton to close the show.

You'll be ashamed of yourself when you find out why it's a pachinko game.
What do you mean? Say what as a joke?
Ha, caught your stealth edit! In any case, we already have a GIF of what I wrote, but I don't think this is the time and place to post it.

I just meant I wonder if he'll take a side swipe at Konami by telling us he was thinking of making a pachinko machine.shinobi602

The question isn't whether God of War will be there (it will), the question is...is Kratos the main character?
Hmmm..
Hmmm..
Kratos the Villain 2017.
Yes but not the same Kratos we know
Pr it could be more then one playable character.
