Gamescom 2013 is coming!


In just a few short days we’ll be packing our bags and heading over to Cologne, Germany for the annual Gamescom extravaganza. PlayStation will of course have a major presence on the Koelnmesse show floor, with attendees able to get their hands on many of the biggest titles heading to PS3, PS Vita and PS4.

On Tuesday 20th August – the evening before the doors open – we’ll be holding our regular Gamescom press conference, where we’ll be showcasing the future of all things PlayStation. The show will be packed with news on both announced and unannounced titles – suffice to say, you won’t want to miss it.

You’ll be able to watch the conference in full right here on PlayStation Blog, on our dedicated Gamescom page, or in PlayStation Home from 6.00pm BST/7.00pm CET/3.00am (Wednesday) Sydney.

Shortly after the press conference, we’ll be holding a live panel discussion hosted by journalist and broadcaster Dan Maher, where some of the biggest names in PlayStation gaming, including Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, Beyond: Two Souls director David Cage and Assassin’s Creed writer Darby McDevitt will be sitting down to discuss the role of narrative and storytelling in games.

This too will be streamed live for your enjoyment, and what’s more we want you to get involved. Firstly, we’ll be inviting you to Tweet your question on the topic of ‘storytelling in games’ to @PlayStationEU using the #PlayStationGC hashtag.

[Pennywise]

Hype levels rising !

 

[MercuryLS]

I hope they announce a new Naughty Dog title. I want to see what they've been working on.

 

[Unknown One]

Quite obvious that Sony didn't revealed everything at E3. Now this is the true battle to get the launch buyers.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

The trade shows have been really exciting this year. Gotta love new hardware roll outs.

 

[Courage]

SSM better show their new God of War game.

 

[Evolved1]

I love how all this stuff is streamed now...

 

[Globox_82]

I hope they announce a new Naughty Dog title. I want to see what they've been working on.

ND announces their games at VGAs. This will be for EU studios mostly. First and second party. I predict one big surprise. There has to be.

 

[.la1n]

Too bad there won't be any PS4 presence.

 

[JABEE]

Excited to see the unannounced titles. What time will these streams be running in EDT?

 

[shinobi602]

The show will be packed with news on both announced and unannounced titles

 

[Sendou]

Tuesday? So it's less than a week away. Didn't even realize. Will tune in. Fingers crossed for some Vita news.

 

[Ovek]

Give me a next gen wipeout!

 

[schwabdizzle]

TLG......................Believe.

 

[Acheteedo]

The show will be packed with news on both announced and unannounced titles

Awesome, they have a lot of unannounced games coming so it should be pretty epic.

 

[dugdug]

Glad there's some unannounced games coming. Feels like Sony's been awfully quiet since E3. I know that was only 2 months ago, but, still.

 

[sunnz]

An open world game for the ps4 pls.

gta for vita pls.

 

[Rootbeer]

D: Unannounced goodness.

FF XII HD for PS4. A guy can dream.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

unannounced titles

 

[olimpia84]

Here's hoping they deliver on the Vita front since there isn't anything I'm interested in after Tearaway is released.

 

[Globox_82]

TLG......................Believe.

TGS.....makes more sense

 

[Crimson_Gold]

So the blog has officially hyped me to a level where I won't get any work done until next Wednesday. Gamescom will likely surpass E3. The fact that we will be seeing more of The Order guarantees that. The unannounced stuff is just icing on the cake for me

 

[Cake Boss]

 

[KennyLinder]

So we should get:

PS4 launch date
PS4 launch titles
PS4 new game announcements?
PSV price drop?
PSV new game announcements?
PS3 price drop?
PS3 Gran Turismo trailer, official date

[Globox_82]

D: Unannounced goodness.

FF XII HD for PS4. A guy can dream.

How many of those are big titles (that most of think of when we hear "unannounced") and how many are smaller PSN titles? Not trying to dismiss smaller games, but you folks get the point.

I want Dead Nation 2, but it isn't The Order: 1886 type of reveal

 

[Into]

PlayStation is a worldwide brand as such they have to space out the announcement and strategically place them where it makes the most sense, they will both show unannounced titles in Europe (Gamescom) and Japan (TGS).

I never doubted for a second they would not show new titles

 

[IconGrist]

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

 

[Platinum_D]

My hype level is over 9,000 lol can't wait to see what happens at Gamescon

 

[RurouniZel]

Praying for a Vita price cut. Or at least a price cut for the memory cards.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Lots of things to talk about. More than people anticipate.

 

[Sendou]

So we should get:

PS4 launch date
PS4 launch titles
PS4 new game announcements?
PSV price drop?
PSV new game announcements?
PS3 price drop?
PS3 Gran Turismo trailer, official date

PS4 price drop?

#finishit Sony

 

[KennyLinder]

Sony, any sort of Cat/Eagle simulator would be great, cheers.
Namco, any sort of 60fps pure racing game about racing around ridges would be great, cheers

 

[sixteen-bit]

TLG......................Believe.

lol, never

 

[JoshHood]

ND announces their games at VGAs. This will be for EU studios mostly. First and second party. I predict one big surprise. There has to be.

Last year's Gamescom had more new Japanese games than European! But as a general rule, yes.

An open world game for the ps4 pls.

gta for vita pls.

Infamous Second Son looks to be pretty ace. Plus there's AC and Watch Dogs.

Too bad there won't be any PS4 presence.

What? Of course there will be.

 

[Globox_82]

PlayStation is a worldwide brand as such they have to space out the announcement and strategically place them where it makes the most sense, they will both show unannounced titles in Europe (Gamescom) and Japan (TGS).

Europe is very important for Sony and seeing how FIFA will be at MS press....they better deliver.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Praying for a Vita price cut. Or at least a price cut for the memory cards.

Price cut on the memory cards and larger memory cards. 64GB or bust

 

[Mik_Pad]

So we should get:

PS4 launch date
PS4 launch titles
PS4 new game announcements?
PSV price drop?
PSV new game announcements?
PS3 price drop?
PS3 Gran Turismo trailer, official date

With the 12 GB PS3 arriving on NA this weekend at $200 I don't think we will see a pricedrop until TGS.

 

[SykoTech]

Will watch for Media Molecule and whoever else is announcing new stuff.

What? Of course there will be.

It's a joke based on that other ridiculous thread suggesting the PS4 wasn't going to be there.

 

[Grieves]

Give me a next gen wipeout!

If only...RIP Studio Liverpool *sniff*

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Lots of things to talk about. More than people anticipate.

Hype, knowledge or speculation?

Give me a next gen wipeout!

It'll come. One day

 

[The_Hitcher89]

SSM better show their new God of War game.

No thanks. Put it on ice for a few years imo

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Naughty Dog needs to announce Uncharted 4, I am holding off getting one until I know its coming, even if its just a teaser with Uncharted theme playing.

I bought my original PS3 in anticipation of The Last Guardian..........

 

[Templar_Dante]

They said "Unannounced" !
Thats what I was waiting for! A confirmation.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I'll be watching.

 

[Globox_82]

No thanks. Put it on ice for a few years imo

5 years at least. Work on something new(both teams, or 3 or how many they have now with Cory) then before PS4 gets replaced, drop new GOW game

 

[TheJollyCorner]

What? Of course there will be.

I think he was making fun of the last TALES FROM MY ASS thread.

edit: beaten and shamed

 

[RurouniZel]

Price cut on the memory cards and larger memory cards. 64GB or bust

Co-signed. I want more than 32GB.

 

[Bundy]

unannounced titles

 

[StiLt]

Hyped. Can't wait to see what they still have hidden up their sleeves. The sheer quantity of unannounced titles is mouthwatering to contemplate. GC and TGS are going to be the best they have been for a long time.
