Thanks goes to get2sammyb

”There are things we have held [back]," Yoshida laughed. ”We chose not to show those at E3 2017, but there will be some more news coming out from our teams later this year. No question."

TGS and PSX. I think they skip Gamescom

OfficerRaichu15 · Jun 14, 2017

Sucker Punch's new game??? Please!!

Deadpool_X · Jun 14, 2017

Right...yeah...

Allonym · Jun 14, 2017

I honestly can't wait for PSX.

Deadpool_X said:
Right...yeah...

The Last of Us 2, Death Stranding, Sucker Punch's new IP, From Software's new IPs and Armored Core. We definitively know that they have stuff they haven't ever shown gameplay for. They're also partnering and helping to bring Lost Soul Aside to PS4 as well. We know the games are coming, they just chose E3 to show off things that were more..."tangible".

daveo42 · Jun 14, 2017

Sony has already decided to release their exclusives during their own conference in December instead of at any of the current trade shows.

Hedgey · Jun 14, 2017

Makes sense. They have their own convention now.

VeryGooster · Jun 14, 2017

PSX is their new E3.

Fbh · Jun 14, 2017

Not that it excuses the poor showing they had but, yeah it makes sense to not show everything in one event

Ricky_R · Jun 14, 2017

Not really surprising. They still couldn't have held back many games though, and it's understandable. They have quite a few known projects underway already.

MagicWithEarvin · Jun 14, 2017

We wanna know what Sucker Punch is up to. I haven't even heard a single rumor about their current project.

delSai · Jun 14, 2017

I guess PSX will get a lot bigger than it is?

13ruce · Jun 14, 2017

Meh i like the old E3's more the drip feeding of info is kinda meh imo.

They might do another Paris con, who knows.

Tregard · Jun 14, 2017

Crash Team Racing at PSX, then

jaypah · Jun 14, 2017

They tend to have more shows that also need announcements so I can believe this.

Kayant · Jun 14, 2017

Deadpool_X said:
Right...yeah...

They generally do spread out their announcements across their usually 3/4 main conferences so it's not hard to somewhat believe if you take that into account.

Quonny · Jun 14, 2017

I mean, obviously.

They have their own show where they can distribute the information literally any way they please.

Resident_UA · Jun 14, 2017

I can believe that. If decisions get made last minute I can see them pulling back few things because they didn't have to hit that hard this year... But they did end up giving this E3 to Nintendo.

J-Tier · Jun 14, 2017

Deadpool_X said:
Right...yeah...

What gives you any reason to disbelieve Yoshida? They have PSX, Gamescom, and TGS too, all of which they have to make some presence at. Particularly PSX which is their own game show.

Alexander DeLarge · Jun 14, 2017

I mean, yeah. They revealed probably the generation's biggest title at PSX last year and completely ignored it at E3. I don't think the E3 press conference is as important as people make it out to be.

AfterTheFall · Jun 14, 2017

Surely this is the same with all 3 companies.

Equanimity · Jun 14, 2017

PSX is going to legit this year

Fbh said:

What made it a poor showing?

Omegabalmung9 · Jun 14, 2017

Dont they usually have their own show a week before gamescom?

Except Death Stranding, Spider-Man, and Days Gone, all of which debuted at last year's E3.

delSai · Jun 14, 2017

Tregard said:

Would make more sense then announcing it at E3 before the other Crash game is even out lol

MattAces · Jun 14, 2017

It's very strategically planned. Put a huge VR segment in E3 to get more exposure, showing that Sony is supporting it, attracting more people to buy it.

Reserves "BIG BIG BIG" announcement for smaller events or their own events, since they will be the only conference at that time to get all the media coverage.

Guymelef · Jun 14, 2017

It's a think when they have presence on TGS and PSX.

I wonder if they'll have conferences at Gamescom and/or Paris Games Week because Gamescom is near TGS and PGW near PSX.

Guevara · Jun 14, 2017

Would have made way more sense to hold back, say, the SOTC remake for TGS.

Cornbread78 · Jun 14, 2017

oh really? hmm..

Show us what you got? It's not like you haven't shown some games several years too early already...

The Last One · Jun 14, 2017

delSai said:

I guess there is a reason why they already have announced this year's PSX.

WordsintheWater · Jun 14, 2017

What first party studio is not working on a game right now that we know of? Suckerpunch and that's it right?

Man-is-Obsolete · Jun 14, 2017

Well yea. If they aren't coming out in 2017 or early 2018 may as well save them for TGS and PSX.

bombshell · Jun 14, 2017

That's the luxury of actually having a great amount of first party studios.

delSai said:

I mean it had a The Last of Us Part 2 announcement, so it's already big.

daman824 · Jun 14, 2017

Sure, I bet Microsoft and Nintendo would say the same thing

Floody · Jun 14, 2017

They should have put most of the pre-show stuff into the main show, a lot of it was worthy.

timberger · Jun 14, 2017

Yeah, I assumed as much after that terrible MS showing probably took the heat off considerably.

Uno Venova · Jun 14, 2017

PSX is where they seem to be putting their big eggs in lately.

Shin · Jun 14, 2017

This...
Not sure what people are complaining about or looking so shocked.

Uno Venova said:

Yup and understandable.

Drackhorn · Jun 14, 2017

This was to be expected.

callsignkrogan · Jun 14, 2017

Hopefully these are games releasing this year. One thing that was disappointing was 90% of the games that were shown came with a 2018 release date.

TheDarkKnight774 · Jun 14, 2017

Well....yea. They support 3-4 press events per year and we know other devs are up to stuff. I'd say most new games they haven't shown would be probably 2019 games

Just like Nintendo held things back as well (i.e. Retro)

DrakeDeception · Jun 14, 2017

I said this in the other thread complaining about Sony's E3 conference but depending on what they show this year at PSX. Sony might be prioritizing PSX over E3. Especially with announcing TLOU2 with a trailer at PSX last year. When I felt that could've been a big E3 trailer announcement this year.

Quonny · Jun 14, 2017

WordsintheWater said:

Technically Guerrilla Games as well. I know they're working on the DLC but they have to be planning another game.

ReplacementPelican · Jun 14, 2017

Disappointed as some people may be, Sony definitely blew too much of their load last year. Majority of those games aren't out yet and their lineup is still, for my money, the best out of the conferences this year. Purely, subjective, I know but if I was them I wouldn't have announced Spider-Man last year and led with an announcement and that demo this year.

Oh well, I'm sure they still have lots to show though.

PantsuJo · Jun 14, 2017

Tregard said:

Fucking DO IT, Sony.

JUST DO IT, PLEASE.

bman94 · Jun 14, 2017

But why? Sony E3 was lack luster cause of the lack of new announcements. Most of their big games at the show (God of War, Detroit, Uncharted, Spider-Man) were already announced and known.

delSai · Jun 14, 2017

bombshell said:

Thats true..
PSX is the most fun event anyway, Im cool with it becoming even bigger.

Fbh · Jun 14, 2017

Not a lot of announcements.

Also it wasn't a conference. Someone pressed play on a video... that's it

blastprocessor · Jun 14, 2017

Must admit l was surprised no Yoshida at E3 conference.
