Surprise gift? I should've checked this thread earlier!
It's been "in production" for 8-9 years... c'mon now.
It's now or never...
until next year's E3

They essentially had to start over when they moved to PS4 which was 2011 or so I think. Sure, maybe they could've brought over some assets, animations and stuff like that, but it's not like moving over to PS4 solves all their issues right away and plop in their old PS3 code and run with it. The PS4 SDK is still evolving too. Also, this is SCEJ we're talking about here, not ND or GG. Factor it all together, compare against their peers, and it doesn't seem likely.
Most big Sony AAA projects are announced/revealed earlier than 6 months prior to release. I think they had more games planned for 2014, but those have fallen through the cracks. Anything not currently announced will be for 2015 and beyond.
There's certainly the possibility of Last Guardian, Uncharted, or Project Beast being much further along than anticipated and ready for a Fall release. Or a Gran Turismo remaster.

Quite.
Same here. The fact that it's free makes it better. If I had to pay, based on the rumors, I wouldn't go... but free is always good.
My friends don't judge me until I mention I'm going to meet up with some GAFfers at the event. Lol.
"Why would you do that?"
"Aren't you afraid of meeting random people from the internet?"
All in all this should be a ton of fun.
Anyone think it'd be rude to bring my tablet/phone and use them during the showing to Live Tweet and stuff? Not sure if theatre etiquette changes when you're watching a live conference and not a movie.
We meet random people from the internet all the time. If you think about it, maybe the person you last had a conversation with, that you didn't really know, also uses the internet. So technically we are always meeting people from the internet, assuming that they use the interwebs.
lol
I would assume the same rules apply, unless they say otherwise.
Kyledk05 told me about, and I checked to see that I was automatically upgraded, too. Can't wait to see all those trailers on the big screen. Especially TLG.Yo!!! I just got upgraded from Waiting List to Confirmed Ticket status! ATL GAF we go hard!

Did anyone else's waiting list spot get upgraded to a ticket? Mine just did for the NYC theater.
Theater/opera live broadcasts in UK cinemas are quite often in the box office top ten. Surprisingly popular

pretty excited... gotta admit not as many gaffers signed up on the nyc sheet as I would have imagined
This list from IGN has me excited. It's a list of the events and game reveals/etc that Greg Miller will be hosting at E3. I believe it's been updated since we laat saw it because now all the 'unannounced title' spots have almost all been replaced with PlayStation game. Two caveats:
1. The Order et al aren't mentioned specifically, so these previously announced titles could (and likely will) take up a few of those slots. Not to mention...
2. This is just what Greg will be hosting. That could theoretically mean that he isn't touching any of those previously announced titles. It's a long shot that these are all new games, but it's so so odd that there aren't any SCE game listed - even the ones we know about. Makes me wonder if these SCE studios that claim they won't be there might be lying.

I got an email for the wait list upgrade for the NYC location yesterday afternoon. Same location, so I don't know what exactly they did. Maybe they got another screen at the same theatre?
People with tickets already, did you get an email asking yo to confirm or something? Maybe they opened up spots if people didn't RSVP/confirm.

Another Keighley tweet. This time he said, "Only a few days now. You'll see." along with this gif: http://giphy.com/gifs/zz00w5nNFMnPq

So houston people what's the plan? From my understanding it's meet slightly beforehand to sit together, then after the show it's an Ihop run.

I really thought we'd get a new FFXV trailer at this conference. Fucking Square Enix.
I'm expecting TGS for that, to be honest. They may show some non-FF things like Tomb Raider sequel.

Where did you see confirmation that it won't show up?
EDIT: Nevermind. I saw it. =( I'd love for it to be a trick, but I believe them.

Damn.
I was going to go, but then my little brother was like, "Are we watching E3 together again?" Now I'll feel bad if I go. Only have one ticket :/

I need to stop checking in to this thread. Lol. It is making it hard to keep my expectations in check.

Do we know that this is pertaining to the Sony show?

I think people just assume that because he seems to be partnering with Sony for the theater event, 30 minutes of bonus stuff by GT and hosted by him shown after the presser, and covering the show with Jack Tretton.
Who knows with him though. His main goal is to get eyeballs glued to GT, to say he stretches things at times is an understatement. So it could be nothing.
by the way this is my defense mechanism to keep my hype in check
In case any of you are nervous and getting butterflies in your stomach about heading out to this event, I just wanted to share some words of encouragement.
Remember that you're a good, smart, likable person. You deserve to be in that theater just as much as anyone else, don't be intimidated by the large crowd. You might even make some new friends before the night is through. These are all folks with similar interests to you so there's a common bond there.
If worst comes to worst and the anxiety overtakes you just know that you can leave that theater at absolutely any moment you please and no one will think worse of you for it. None of us are emotionless robots, we're humans and at times we panic, that doesn't make you any less of a man or woman.
Be mindful about what you're there for, it's a night of fun and learning about new Sony games, nothing to be nervous about. Just enjoy yourself and everything will be fine.
And who knows, maybe years down the line you'll be able to tell your grandchildren you were there when they announced the PS4 version of The Last Guardian. Of course, they'll stare back at you with a quizzical look considering the PS9 is already out and The Last Guardian has yet to be released, but still.

You'd feel like shit if you went. Enjoy it with your family.
