You gotta be nuts to expect TLoU 2 next year.

I expect to see:
New Sucker Punch IP
GT Sport
FFVII Remake
God of War
Detroit Become Human
Day's Gone
Spider Man
Call of Duty 2017
Destiny
Battlefront 2
That doesn't necessarily leave much space for new game announcements though. I'm not entirely sure what else they could announce. Have there been any rumors of a new From Software collaboration?

Maybe, but could have started production before Horizon was finished. Hopefully any DLC will be substantial like Infamous, Uncharted rather than released in small chunks. The Last thing Horizon needs is challenge arenas or horde mode.
I mean a hoard mode with ribots could be pretty cool.

Sorry but expecting TLOU2 at E3 is crazy, let alone expecting it to be their big open. The game hasn't even entered full production yet, nor does it have a game director, there's no way it's ready to be shown in a significant way. I'm betting they're going to go dark with it until PSX at the very earliest (though even that seems kinda early).
As for the conference layout, assuming the structure is the same as the last couple of years, I think it's a safe bet to say God of War will close the show. Aside from GT Sport, that'll be their next major blockbuster and SSM always deliver on the spectacle. For the opener, I'm guessing they'll go with Sucker Punch's New IP, followed by FromSoft's New IP shortly afterwards.

I don't see why any of that matters tbh. This is same company that has no problem showing games like Death Stranding or the Final Fantasy VII remake. In fact I think it's crazy to not expect TLoU 2 to be there in some form.

Unless you think Sony owns Square Enix, I'm not sure what FFVIIR has to do with anything.
But Death Stranding is an example of Sony letting Kojima do his thing. It clearly doesn't apply to all their games, seeing as Dreams wasn't at their E3 conference last year.
I mean, you can keep dreaming but Naughty Dog already have a game coming out this year and Sony made it absolutely clear when they announced TLOU2 that it was still very early in development. At most I'd expect a few seconds of montage footage.
Neil Druckman is both story and gameplay director on TLOU2 project.
There was discussion here when that was announced on PSX, lots of people yelling that everything will be story and that gameplay will be marginalized.
Usual GAF overreaction.

Can't wait for "where is X, is it cancelled?" When any one of those miss E3.
Sony had the same opening strategy in 2015 and 2016. Open with a beloved IP, followed by a new IP (TLG-Horizon, GoW-Days Gone)
The duo GoW-''Dead Dont Ride'' was my bet for the opening in 2016 and since that did happen, Im going with the same mentality here
Opens up with ''BloodBorne 2'', people go nuts
followed by Sucker Punch's New IP
Now, to predict the ending is harder. 2015 was Uncharted 4 gameplay, 2016 Days Gone gameplay, so I dont see a pattern for the kind of game they will have there, just assume that it will be gameplay
And I still dont think we'll see TLoU Pt II there. Thats the PSX opening IMO

That was never confirmed, it was just speculation because we know Druckmann's the only director at this point and Straley's not going to work on it once he returns from his break.
Logically, I can't see them suddenly moving back to a solo director, not when they've said for years that the game and creative director roles are too big for one person to do. That's why my guess was that Kurt Margenau would move over to be TLOU2's game director once TLL was finished, making way for Straley to join Shaun Escayg and Josh Scherr's team to create a new IP.

Whole e3 conference will be dreams footage
The conference will be made entirely within Dreams, the will build all the trailers and gameplay showcases of the other games with the Dreams tools
and close the keynote by announcing that Dreams is out NOW
My point is that a game being early in development has obviously never stopped Sony from promoting it so I don't see why it's crazy to expect TLoU2 to be there.

New PaRappa announcement? Are there plans to remaster others?
And that's just stuff we know about. ^_^

I think this might be it but instead of Bloodborne 2 it will be a new IP from From.
Second Son released in March '14 with First Light showing up at E3 the same year so it's possible. Hard to guess without knowing how big Horizon's expansion is going to be.
Sony has a timed exclusive deal for the title.

It just doesn't make a sense at this point. You say Sony aren't shy of showing games early but so far, those announcements have all been very deliberate and they haven't been shy of going dark either (see: God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone's non-appearances at PSX). Aside from Death Stranding, every Sony game this gen has had a substantial gameplay trailer with its first or second showing and I don't think TLOU2 is at that point yet.
And sure, I guess Naughty Dog could pull a Kojima and continually dish out teasers every 6 months but until that actually happens, I really don't think they're going to go down that route.
I know that, so? You think that deal gives Sony control over its marketing? Sorry but that's ridiculous, Square Enix were the ones who made that decision (which they even said was done to try and give Japanese console sales a helping hand).
which is why I dont think we'll se them at this E3, ND loves PSX. So I think its PSX 17 for that debut gameplay and another gameplay section at E3 2018
Just like they did for Uncharted 4

there is no need for Sony to show TLOU at the E3 Conference, unless the Game is set for an 2018 release date.
they have a shit ton of games (unlike 2013-15) and a limited amount of time.
Also there are more than enough big games that will boost the hype (GOW, FF7 Remake, Spiderman, Shenmue, DS + new announcements + third parties)

Any word on where Sony Will hold the conference ? Hoping it's the same venue as last time.
DriftingSpirit

Yep.
There is stuff coming out now, stuff coming out soon, stuff coming out within the next year and stuff coming out beyond that. If it was only stuff that was coming years from now, obviously that would be an issue but Sony has actually created a good flow for everything from now to years from now.
I mean, this quarter alone almost makes me want stuff like God of War to not come out at all this year. Too many games.
If I had to guess I'd say it will be at Shrine Auditorium again
Last E3 Shawn said that they were excited about coming back there after years doing the show on other venues
I'd love the orchestral performance with the large theater/stage setup to be the new norm. Absolutely loved the vibe.
Literally 50 seconds after the conference ends.

Ape escape 4 is coming I feel it
Only one new first party announcement?Updated my predictions:
I think this year is just showing updates on previously announce games.

What other first party can even announce stuff? Sucker Punch is the only one that has had time to develop anything new. Maybe some small project from the guys that made Entwined. Mayyyyyybe something small from Japan Studio but they have their hands kinda full.
SP is the only studio that can show anything big that is tangible.

Yeah, that was great. I actually watched the conference the whole way through for the music. I usually just catch the separate trailers after the conference is done. It would be epic to hear Bloodborne 2's music played by a live orchestra.

Ppl sleeping on Sony japan. Shu was talking big not a while ago
Honestly if they somehow did that the rest of the conference they could just call up Bossman on stage and start dropping goofy jokes and it would be one of the best conferences ever. Just give me FF7R.
Updated my predictions:
Pixelopus new game for me is almost a guarantee too.
you know, if ''Bloodborne 2'' really happens, they are bound to produce (and maybe develop some of it even) there, so I dont think people are forgetting that.
We need that JRPG bruh

Updated my predictions:
8 min of live demo for bb2? Nah. If there will be a bb2 they will announce it with a trailer.
