Unless they can get the Playstation 4K/Neo out before the end of the year, there's no point in announcing it at E3. Otherwise all you're doing by announcing a 2017 product is potentially poisoning hardware sales for Christmas 2016.

I think they will probably want to have Playstation VR front and center for E3. Trying to push two new platforms at once would be pretty overwhelming.....especially when you consider that they would asking players to spend $900 in total just to stay current and up-to-date. Get VR rolled out, then worry about the 4K/Neo...

 

[Hexa]

That's the day I start my new job. I'll miss everything else but at least I can make Sony's.

 

[Ydelnae]

Yeah, staying up until 5am again! That's what I wanted!

 

[Tom Nook]

E3 in Prime Time!

 

[Aters]

I have high expectation.

My gut feeling is that they won't show it at E3, even if they release it this year. Just feels like it's too soon. Gamescom / TGS seems more likely.

CRASH
BIOSHOCK VITA
HALF LIFE 2.8

"We know Half Life episode 3 will be too big of a game to make in one go, so we're going to release episode 3 as an episodic game. Please understand... these things take time"

 

[Mokubba]

PS4K is far more than just a slimmed down console.

I know, but the moment they announce it, people will start waiting. There's always a spike in sales for new colours and hardware revisions and a dip in sales the week because people are waiting. Why announce it in June and have people wait until October.

It's an open secret, everybody's talking about it. So it's gonna be weird if they don't adress it at E3, even if they originally didn't plan to.

This is true and it won't surprise me if they do change their plans and announce it at E3 but I just think business wise, it makes more sense to do it nearer the time. They've also got PS VR to push so E3 can occupy that space.

We'll see, I could be wrong.

 

[Tankard]

The hype is back!

 

[icespide]

I was under the impression that Sony only prohibits exclusive features and games for NEO.

Night and day differences will only ever manifest in 1st-Party games, since those push hardware way more than multiplats.

just seems like they don't want to alienate PS4 owners while giving folks that want it slightly better IQ.

I just can't see Sony announcing something like God of War 4, showing it and saying "look at how awesome it is on PS4Neo" and then leave the regular PS4 version as a big question mark or leaving everyone to assume that the PS4 version looks like shit.

I also can't see them showing both version on a stage and pain-stakingly demonstrating the differences

 

[Rösti]

Excellent news. I think the schedule is pretty much set now.

 

[CriterionDog]

E3!

The best time of the year! Also it's been on my birthday or very close to it the past few years. ; )

[Loris146]

I'm excited for all the Sony Bend rumors to not come to fruition for a 3rd or 4th year in a row at this point.

Why there is such a huge hype for Bend's new game? Serious question.

 

[troy-X]

> Ni No Kuni ported to PS4
> Crash 1/2/3/Team Racing Remastered
> A release date for WilD
> TLOU 2

And that'll be all, thanks Sony.

 

[Mass Effect]

Have they ever revealed major hardware at Gamescom before though? E3 is typically the place for that. Only reason I don't foresee it being at E3 is if they are going to have its own stand alone conference like the PS4 reveal was. The Neo is a major major deal and its going to need an awful lot of explanation to the general public what it is.

If the Neo itself isn't there, I do fully expect to see Neo versions of games. God of War 4 will be shown in the best possible light it can, and given they are an internal studio they likely had access to Neo dev kits before any of this became public

I think they don't want to hurt the PS4's sales by announcing a console that would be months away. Plus they're going to be pushing PSVR this Fall. I feel like it'd be a little too much to have both this Fall, but I don't know.

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I don't think there is huge hype for their game. If there is, I haven't seen it. People are just interested because it is their first console game in a very long time.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

3AM for Germans again
Might take a day off on Tuesday to watch this.

Have they ever revealed major hardware at Gamescom before though?

Don't know if you can consider it major but Sony revealed the first PS3 slim at Gamescom 2009.

 

[Dinjooh]

They took their sweet time. Schedule is complete now, let me know if there's any errors.

 

[matrixman92]

is square enix having a conference again this year? They have yet to set a date and time

I've heard no rumours about it so far. Sadly.

 

[Jigolo]

Mr. Boyes, please post

 

[Pankratous]

Why Sony always gotta be at shit time o'clock?

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I hope they do the whole theater thingee again... that was so cool last year.

 

[orochi91]

They'll likely piggyback on Sony's conference for any megaton announcement.

just seems like they don't want to alienate PS4 owners while giving folks that want it slightly better IQ.

This is a great point, and the natural answer to this will be that Sony will absolutely show the best version of games releasing on PS4/PS4K.

Shinier graphics will always be a boon for marketing, but I suppose it will all come down to how big the backlash will be once this updated console is officially announced.

Best reaction ever... Last year will never be topped. It's impossible.

Still one of my favorite videos of last year.

"If Shenmue get announced, you may never see me again."

LOL

 

[HerroRygar]

Really hope they address the Neo situation. I want a premium FFXV experience and I'd be willing to wait for it if I knew when I could expect it.

 

[Newtype-001]

They took their sweet time. Schedule is complete now, let me know if there's any errors.

Thanks for this.
If this is correct Sonys is at 2am for me Tuesday :/ if i still have college i might just sleep in but i have 4 lessons that day.

 

[Deadstar]

When the PS4k is revealed to be using gtx 1080s the internet is going to explode. All yours for $499.

 

[Ragona]

Iam really looking forward to the conferences as Iam pretty sure they realised how giving the crowd what they want gives them alot of goodwill!
On the other hand we should try to contain our expectations just a little so we dont end up all excited.

I guess we will see:
Last Guardian
Horizon
Bends Game or God of War 4
Destiny 2/ addon whatever itll be
New Call of Duty
1,2 suprises (crash anyone?)
10-15 mins VR tops, I still think its tough to demonstrate on stage.
Indie showcase
Random Tim Schafer Game ( Full Throttle I guess)

Im with most of you guys that PS4k was prolly not intended to be shown at E3, but with the crazy amount of leaks who knows.

 

[DoubleTake]

Ah yes its that time of year again.

Crossing fingers for From Software's new IP

 

[Kayant]

For the people wondering about PS4 Neo reveal Shinobi recently said in a podcast he heard it will be revealed at PGW (Not 100% sure but yh)

The TGS "rumor" is based on assumptions among other things that were presented as facts in a shitty news piece.

 

[Obliterator]

You don't put an over 4TF GPU into a console for slightly better IQ. That would be an absolute waste on current 1080p PS4 games.

There will be significant and substantial differences in assets on 1st party games. Likely not as much on 3rd party. And they won't pain-stakingly show the differences between the 2 versions. They will only demo Neo versions of games on stage.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Bend's new IP is what I'm most excited to see this year, much like Guerrilla's new highly anticipated IP debut last year. I feel in my gut that it's going to have a jaw-dropping premiere much like Horizon did.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Not expecting much from them. Last couple of conferences started strong but got really really boring and uninteresting after that.

And with Neo most likely not there, a big point gone for me.

 

[Piggus]

So the chances of PS4K being there are 0 right? TGS?

lol what

Of course it will be there.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

I don't think psvr is getting as much of a focus as everyone believes. Sony has stated many times that they are being modest with projections even with the nice pre-order numbers. There will be some overlap between hose interested in PS4K and PSVR, but I don't agree with the idea that launching both would be too hard.

 

[Tom Nook]

Nintendo

Can you least give us a tease of the NX?

 

[icespide]

I'm not convinced that the more powerful GPU isn't intended for anything more than much higher resolutions for 4K TVs while maintaining performance of their 1080p version + some more effects.

we'll have to wait and see though

 

[Kudo]

Would love to see FromSofts new exclusive too but I'm doubtful, they have Dark Souls 3 DLC coming up and they will probably just show trailers of that, and not at Sonys conference, if I remember correctly Dark Souls 3 reveal happened during Microsofts conference last year?

 

[J-Skee]

My expectation
TLG gameplay + release date
Horizon gameplay + delayed date
Sony Bend Project announce
Sucker Punch Project announce
GOW 4 from Santa Monica announce
Wild gameplay + release date
Crash Homecoming
No PS4K
No Detroit from Quantic Dream
No FFVIIremake
No Shenmue 3

Nice title. I really hope Sony has a talented team for Crash. Unless Naughty Dog is splitting into a two team studio again, I just don't see them doing it.

 

[Dinjooh]

Nintendo

Can you least give us a tease of the NX?

Yea :/

I actually wondered if I should leave it on the schedule - but I'm guessing a lot of people are still gonna set their timer for whenever the Treehouse event starts. I know I am.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Not expecting much from from them. Last couple of conferences started strong but got really really boring and uninteresting after that.

And with Neo most likely not there, a big point gone for me.

Yeah, I think it's a bit early for FROM's next game!

I wonder if thatgamecompany's ready to reveal their next game.

 

[Piggus]

Aww man 3 AM again -.- why can't they have a little bit of consideration for their EU audience and go a bit earlier

It's an American event, and earlier times would conflict with the other conferences. Sony seems to always benefit from having the last word anyway.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

The only conference I care about, lol.

 

[PodcastFips]

Great, another night without sleep, as always
