Gematsu: Sony to hold Playstation Experience event in December

The only people who play video games are people who don't own movies. Everyone else knows better.
Lmao.
Well I'm going to go to sleep. Leaving my mark on this page to see how many more GAF traveled by the time I'm able to get back on. This thread has more views than some countries populations.
 
exactly, thank you. go make a "I don't want crash/shenmue/ff7" thread and discuss with others in that thread, this is for people who are excited and hopeful.
Actual it's for all opinions, including dissenting ones. Just to reiterate: I sincerely hope we never get another Crash, Shenmue, or FF remake ever again.
 
Time to remove the shackles of conservatism and embrace the hype train. My updated predictions for the keynote:


  • Show opens with a trailer for new Crash. Thunderous applause.
  • The applause transitions into screams as Jack Tretton, who has been temporarily reinstated as head of SCEA for 2 hours, takes the stage to MC the event.
  • Announces a PS4 price-drop to $149. All existing PS4 owners are gifted $200 into their PSN accounts as a thank you to launch-window buyers. Can barely hear him over the screams.
  • The lights dim as a trailer for Horizon, now named 'Emagon' is shown. The graphical fidelity of the dinosaurs causes several attendees to become hysterical. Paramedics take them away and call for backup.
  • The SEGA logo illuminates the screen. Shenmu 1 & 2 HD collection announced, bundled freely with Shenmu 3, exclusive to PS4.
  • Kojima takes the stage. MGS5 now PS4 exclusive. MGS 1, 2 and 3 to be remade in the Fox Engine for PS4. As is Snatcher. Norman Reedus and Del Toro join him on stage for a 10 minute gameplay demo of Silent Hills. Tears stream down the faces of the audience the entire time.
  • Boyes sprints on stage dressed as Santa Claus, complete with Santa’s Sack. ‘I have some more gifts for you” he says, causing uncontrollable trembling in all present.
  • Suikoden I & II are available for download NOW on PSN, including optional fully orchestrated soundtrack.
  • Did somebody say Dino Crisis 4? Yes. Adam Boyes did, JUST NOW. He makes an awkward joke about PS4 being the undisputed home of dinosaurs. The reveal trailer shows Regina in a mech-suit fighting a T-Rex, 12 Raptors and a misguided Stegosaurus atop a mountain during a hurricane.
  • Boyes drops his Santa Sack on the floor and opens it. Shinji Hashimoto jumps out. The audience has been crying for so long that large swaths of people are losing brain function due to low salt-levels.
  • He doesn’t need to ask people to please be excited; there isn’t a dry seat in the room. New trailer shown for Kingdom Hearts. Mandy Moore is back as Aerith. FFXV world map shown, and 2015 release date revealed. “One more thing.” Audience holds its breath. FFVII HD remaster trailer shown. PS4 exclusive. Many audience members forget to resume breathing. The death count is getting out of control.
  • Amid the chaos, Chris Metzen takes the stage. PS4 exclusive Starcraft Ghost revealed. Paramedics have to restrain a man from clawing his own eyes out, such is the intensity of the reveal trailer.
  • Tretton takes the stage, visibly shaken by the carnage before him. But the show must go on. Let’s talk about firmware (it’s a Sony conference). Suspend resume available next week. PSN name changes sorted out, PS2 trophy support.
  • A turnbuckle and wrestling ropes rise from the stage, and Shu rushes towards it and reaches over with his outstretched hand. Tretton tags him in.
  • Medieval, Dark Cloud, Syphon Filter, Colony Wars and Wip3out have all been green-lit for PS4 games. The amount of happening in the room is causing cracks to appear in the walls of the theatre.
  • Kratos appears on screen. He's fighting the Gods of ancient Norse mythology. Trailer concludes with him disembowling Odin with a Dane Axe.
  • Naughty Dog logo appears. First footage of the Uncharted movie is shown. Wow, they really nailed the casting of Drake. Hang on. No? It couldn’t be? It’s actually photo-realistic 60fps 1080p gameplay footage of Uncharted 4. The stress of seeing UC4 gameplay causes a woman in the front row to go into premature labour. She wasn’t even pregnant when the show began.
  • Tretton thanks people for attending and watching at home. They still have new gameplay of Bloodbourne, The Order, No Man’s Sky, EGTTR, Rime, Wild, The Witness, Shadow of the Beast and more, but emergency rooms are at breaking point. Too much hype has been spilled this day.
  • “Oh, just one more thing”
  • The Last Guardian lives. Chunks of concrete fall from the ceiling, crushing those below. The room can’t handle all of the feels pulsating out of gamers as they bask in the glory of the gameplay trailer. The audience is too transfixed to run. When the June 2015 launch date is revealed the internet as we once knew it is dead. People watching at home scramble to put batteries in CB radios, hoping to pick up military chatter about the PSX event.
  • Only one attendee remains alive in the theatre. His glasses shattered while watching Sora, Donald and Goofy wage battle with Prince Hans, sparing his eyes from what followed. Scrambling over the corpses in the theatre, he takes refuge under a desk with Jack Tretton.
  • “Is it over?” he asks Jack tentatively.
  • “Yes” sighs Jack. “Well, except for one more thing”
  • The roof explodes, allowing a helicopter to lower someone down onto the stage.
  • It’s Gaben. Half-life 3 confirmed. Console exclusive on PS4. Available for download on Steam and PS4 RIGHT NOW.

If it eventuates it’d only be a solid 7/10 show because no Mass Effect or Fallout.

Promote this man right meow!
 
You requested it, so here is my poem:

Only 5 days away from our very first
Public event and the Gaf just ‘bout burst

Amazing to see many guesses and Gifs
Until 10am that day you’ll be hanging from cliffs.

The problem with Gaf and it’s vast speculation
Is that even great news brings out your frustration

One person’s favorite is another’s least fave
But we try to bring games that most gamers crave

Our goal is to have fun, share news, announce games
Meet new friends, talk games & also denounce flames

Keep an open mind while we attempt something new
Hope to see you all there where we can share a cold brew!

Don't quite your day job, my man. A lyrical MC you are not. :)
 
Actual it's for all opinions, including dissenting ones. Just to reiterate: I sincerely hope we never get another Crash, Shenmue, or FF remake ever again.

its really not when everyones taking these opinions to derail the threads. done.


(I don't think either of the 3 are happening here but I love everyone's excitement so who am I to shit on the fun everyone's having here?)

Nothing wrong with sharing your opinion, but that other dude was basically calling ppl ignorant for liking Crash. I don't care for Shenmue or FF either... but Crash <3

Derail the thread? Have you been reading this thread? It's a hype thread which is basically a clusterfuck until the event thread goes live.
 
What's with the people who act all uppity when certain series' are begged for to return, like it's a personal affront that they're clamoured after or something? "Waaaah, don't bring back Crash, it was always terrible!" "Don't waste money on a shit franchise like Shenmue Sony, if I don't want it then no one else can either."

Some words for you negative nancies - sling yer hook and jog on . This is a hype thread so take your misplaced cynicism elsewhere.

I don't really care if someone likes Crash or Shenmue. I think Crash is antiquated and a modern Shenmue would be a colossal waste of cash, but if these are things Sony wants to do it's no skin off my nose. I wouldn't hope to stop anyone from being excited about them either. I have opinions and I'm expressing them, but that's about it.

It's not that I don't want these things to happen (I don't care) it's that I think they'd be dumb moves, business-wise.

Edit: And yeah, TLG is NBD!

You probably should have had Lang do a once-over on this

that's fine. then instead of telling people they're wrong for wanting something, ADD TO THE DISCUSSION and mention games you'd LIKE to see included instead. I don't see why that's so difficult.
 
Batch #1 is done. #2 will be in a few hours. I'm slowly collecting avatars, this will be a big project. :D

Oh wow, please add me, can't be on too many hype trains!!

Drac84 predictions: now we know why something like that can't ever happen, the world is not ready for so many megatons during one event.

We could compile a list of first and second party PS1 classics that have not seen any sequel on later systems - aka "list the games that could be brought back"

Ideally it would be great to add a comment why this franchise is great to revive.

I'll start:
COLONY WARS (Psygnosis/Sony)
Why?
It's been a long time since a proper space opera has come out, and looking at Star Citizen and the hype for No Man's Sky, it is pretty obvious the time for a AAA space game has come. The thirst is real!

EDIT: Please put me on the train too :)
Also, there have been requests and a first train pic by Amirox somewhere in the pages 200 to 220...
 
Can someone put me on the 'holding a candle for Media Molecule' poster?

Events come and go, Media Molecule does not show, the thing other than Tearaway, for PSX let us pray. Amen.
 
Shit. Won some twitter thing from Playstation earlier & got invited to the game awards on friday.

TGA & PSE this weekend. I am not prepared.

A release date for Tearaway would be already enough for me. I'll be crazy hyped if they show their other project again, although i'm not really a fan of the Move controller.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out the last two letters, although I suspect one of them may be a T.
I do pick up a sinister tone though...

Edit: And yeah, TLG is NBD!

But at the same time, what some people need to recognise is that, in a general sense, the likes of FFVII-R, Shenmue III, Sony Crash or the re-reveal of TLG represent the hypest of the hype. They're about as top-tier in terms of video game announcements as you can get, and this is an upcoming event that, due to some apparently reliable insider info, is going to bust out quite the megaton. So in that context, whining directly to a Sony representative in the thread that this game is a waste of time, or that game isn't worth spending any money on, or don't listen to those fans because they're deluded, is just kind of inappropriate. All you're doing is being this person here...

...a horrid little party pooper.

I don't even want a FFVII remake, because the original is my favourite game and I don't believe Square Enix is in a good enough state to do justice to the original, but sitting here whining about the possibility of it appearing in the next 4 days is just outright obnoxious. I might not want it, but I realise that a lot of people do, and I respect that.
 
KHInsider &#8207;@khinsider 7m7 minutes ago
Ichiro Hazama of Dissidia fame was in attendance at the 2.5 launch event as an observer, but what do you think he's really in the US for?

Maybe something on PSX?
 
This thread is going crazy. I really hope the PS Event delivers, otherwise there's going to be a ton of disappointed folk here.

Trying not to go too crazy, for new reveals and announcements I'm hoping for:

  • Gravity Rush 2 info (probably on the PS4 now, or PS4 and Vita)
  • Gravity Rush HD on PS4
  • First news on Horizon
  • First gameplay for Bartlett Jones' Supernatural Detective Agency, or whatever it's called
  • Maybe some news on the new Bend Studios game
  • Some more Morpheus info & software
  • (A major Morpheus project by London Studio)
  • Something new from Japan Studio (let's hope those trademark renewals for Dark Cloud & Wild Arms Arc the Lad weren't just housekeeping!)
  • Release date/window for Rime
  • New footage for Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

I'd be pretty damn satisfied with the above, coupled with Uncharted 4, No Man's Sky, Bloodborne etc. Hopefully we have see gameplay and less CGI. I've also kept it to Sony stuff as I haven't really been keeping up with the Capcom/Square etc teases.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture won't be there.
 
Really holding out for something Gravity Rush 2-related this week. Whether it's the Playstation Awards in Japan or the Experience event, I need to see the return of Kat. The wait has been agonising.
 
Batch #1 is done. #2 will be in a few hours. I'm slowly collecting avatars, this will be a big project. :D

Would like to be added to this hype train.

I'm assuming the twitch streams will be archived? Have people over so can't watch live :(
Also anyone know if Giant Bomb will be covering this like they do with E3 streams?
