Famitsu stream going on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EHfaAPgBKc

With Famitsu's editor in chief hyping this up, we should be in for at least a pleasant surprise or two!

What do you guys hope to see or what do you expect? I'm hoping for an RPG (wild arms!) but it seems unlikely

There could be some announcements.

“Since these awards are coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the PlayStation, there’s probably going to be more pomp and flare than usual this year,” Hayashi said during a Niconico live stream, “and I think it’s probably safe to say that means we’ll likely be seeing a lot of surprises coming out our way that are befitting such an occasion.”

Will stay up even though I don't speak Japanese and it's 2:30 AM and I have 4 classes and a Calculus test the next day
 
What's PlayStation Awards? I've never heard of it before.

Awards given out based on sales. There are also user nominated winners as well. But it's primarily about sales. This year is supposed to be a bit different since it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the release of the PSone in Japan.

So nobody gets to vote? I'm not sure what the point of this is.
 
Playstation. You love it long time :D

Didn't they have this last year with nothing being announced?

This year because of the 20th anniversary it seems like there will be a special announcement:

“In order to thank everyone for supporting us for 20 years, in celebration of what’s to come we’ve been preparing a special PlayStation 20th Anniversary project that will be revealed at this year’s Playstation Awards. I hope we can all enjoy it together.”

They have this every year with no announcements. This is a bonafide corporate award event that awards platinum and gold hits to best sellers.

But this year is apparently a bit different because 20th Anniversary.

Yeah, I'll probably stay up for it because of the timing.

If it weren't for the 20th Anniversary, this would be the most depressing PS awards ever.

Japanese PlayStation sales range from dead to dying. Only one game has for sure broken 500k -- God Eater 2. Maybe they have overshipped enough copies of LRFFXIII and GT6 to Southeast Asia to reach the same mark.

Hide it all behind smoke and mirrors, announce one game and pretend everything is fine.

The answer is in the post you quoted.
 
:/ On the day I have to go back to work. Ugh!

I don't think anything will happen, but if it does... please be MGR2, FFXV, or TLG!

Sigh, it starts right after my 4PM break ends.

I don't expect anything too excitin, but am secretly hoping for PSO2 for PS4 announcement.

I'm waking up right in time for this 8 in the morning so I'll be watching it.

I hope we will get something Persona 5 or Gravity Daze 2 related but I expect absolutely nothing from this event.

I don't expect anything from the FsmitsuXDengeki event either.

If I'm not wrong, we've already have a PS Awards without a platinum winner a few years BC back. PS Awards has kinda hit the bottom floor for a long time now.

At least last year had GTAV winning Platinum.

Gonna guess a PS4 version of Tales of Zestria gets announced since Baba is there and we haven't gotten any news about the game in a while.
