Sony: We Held PS4 Exclusives Back from E3 2017
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Hm... I wonder if Sony is trying to make psx bigger with more triple A announcements? Obviously TLOUPII was a huge deal last year... and I see them wanting to jump off of that momentum.

That's true, but I don't think they would be anywhere near ready to show something.
Well we're getting Knack and SOTC from Japan Studios, but I guess you're right there's still a good amount out there that will be possible to show.
Unlike ms, they actually have multiple aaa studios and 2nd party studios and japanese partnerships

I read this as, "We'll have a better The Last of Us 2 trailer for PSX this year than we could've gotten together in time for E3".
Which is fine.

After a disappointing E3 all eyes are on PSX now. That's gotta be a better show than what they gave here.

Offcourse they are, sony has a steady assembly line by now and theyre being properly funded.Theyre not in two minds about what theyre selling and they have plenty of external support.
We just need to keep in mind every conference isnt going to be stuff of dreams
So many people said this one was a dud, with tons of great exclusives, if this is a dud then im more than happy because it can only get better.

Yeah, as if there are any new games that will come after the ones we know about. Nice try Sony.
I mean, they didn't even show off all of their announced exclusives.

Following Microsoft's presser lacking in anything new or exciting exclusives-wise, Sony were left with very little incentive to go shooting their load. We know there's certain questionmarks hanging over teams/studios/titles, but E3 2017 wasn't their time for the spotlight.
That we got a slew of meaty VR games, gameplay for the big titles we know about and a few actual surprises, plus a loaded pre-show, that was a good enough performance. I know people like to think the shows are planned well in advance and will be stuck to rigorously, but it's not massively surprising that they might have held back on a couple of weighty reveals feeling they had the breathing space. There's 3 big shows a year for Sony. So they chose to keep a few of their stars on the bench for a game they knew they couldn't lose? I can accept that, it's sensible. It's also infuriating as we like to watch the bombs drop.

probably a hit and run shit-post, but yes. We even know a lot of them.
So do you. Unless you keep yourself in some weird selective gaming bubble.

I think it was obvious. Maybe they felt they didn't have to come out full guns blazing because of how they felt MS's conference went. Either way, i'm sure there will be surprises at PSX.

I guess we'll get release dates by PSX for most of their titles and new stuff. I'm honestly surprised Andrew House wasn't at the show like usual and that it was short this time around.

I mean, if MS said this people would have doubt based on the number of studios they own and how their studios work on IP centric but we're talking about Sony here, same with Nintendo they have strong first party studios
Also, being held in early December, the reveals and news that come out of the event generates positive buzz in the important run-up to Christmas.

Does Insomniac still have that second team in NC? Are they working on my Resistance remaster with mixed MP modes/maps yet? Blue point looks busy, so it has to be them at this point. I want my RFoM trophies finally dammit.
JStev, just let the cat out of the bag already.

You privy to a law that says they have to make their big shows at E3 or something?
Yeah more then likely.
And later this year : The news is Dreams will be cancelled.
I will find Shuhei and eat him.

Well, of course they did. PSX is kind of a big deal to them these days.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I actually see that happening .. last year's PSX was just as big a Sony's E3 conference. Wouldn't be surprised if we see, among other things, first TLoU game play demos there this year.

Who can blame them? Microsoft's highlights were multiplatform games.
If I have to bet, SP is PSX.

Just like people want, not announce new games if they're not ready. This will please them

There's no need to show game's too early. Sony had enough content to show at E3.

Isn't this common sense/knowledge? I assume all the major pubs do the same. The only difference here is that Sony will show more at their own show and TGS, etc. than the others will.

They delivered a pretty solid PSX last year so I don't really doubt them. Plenty of trade shows to go around (TGS, Gamescom, PSX), no need to show every single thing at E3.
I agree, they should have just one conference without a préshow.
