PlayStation Experience Event in December Discussion Thread 2 - What we Know

Status
Not open for further replies.
Shenmue will never get a sequel. It was the precursor of a genre that is now overcrowded, and for Suzuki to realize his vision, it would take an astronomical budget. Needless to say that the core fanbase, though dedicated, will contribute only a fraction of the sales that are needed to break even. We could get some HD remasters down the road. But a third episode? No chance.
FF VII remake might happen IF Sony joins in the development. This game would sell, no doubt. But it would drain resources from Square that could normally be allocated to newer projects. I don't like its chances, but it is not impossible.
TLG I would love to see, and this one is being worked on at least. I am not certain it will be unveiled before E3 2015 though...

Depends how early his ban lifts, and I imagine some of the traffic will leave here after the TGA Thread comes up tomorrow, and then we go batshit for the rest of the night in here.

I'll tell them I'm on the official GAF Hype Train, that should give me clout. Right?

I'll definitely clear out the 64GB card on my phone in preparation. Everyone will see the main presentation stuff streaming so i'll try to focus on getting everything else I can. Maybe there will finally be a different playable area for TO:1886 than the one we've already seen a bunch of times, for example. Stuff like that.

I'll ask myself, "What would Driftwood do?"

Well, FF VII:R as far as we know is already happening...sooo.

I don't see what Shenmue naysayers can really prove. Yes, it would require a huge budget. Yes, the core fanbase is tiny. That's why for it to happen it would need an amazing marketing team, and as Suzuki has proposed, it would probably need to have an indefinite crowdfunding approach a la Star Citizen.

It's simply impractical for Sony to reboot an old franchise like Crash Bandicoot. Crash is a videogame staple that only made sense in the first generation of 3D gaming. Now there is no niche in the gaming market for a furry critter that has an abnormally large upper torso and a cracked out face that swallows gems and mangos. And the most I think we'll get out of Shenmue is an HD remake. Nothing more. Why can't we be a little more progressive about this and expect something completely brand new? I want something out of the ordinary, not some rehash of a now irrelevant franchise.

Hmm...FF7 stuff, Shenmue, I say bollocks too. I'm only hoping for TLG finally showing up but I'm not sure Crash wouldn't sell. I think it would do a nice a million or more actually, but I'm not sure Activision and Sony are that cool where they would give up Crash for little profit and Sony is restructuring all about profit for the next 3-5 years, so likely will be playing it safe with investments.

Realistically, I'm only expecting TLG and the rest to be new IP and updates. I think something like PSone B/C would really be huge news for me though, and I hope it comes back. Everyone also seems to be forgetting Morpheus, which likely will have a strong presence. I think we're going to get Gamescon version 2, with a bunch of new titles spread across various genres, and 1-2 bombs. Just don't think the bombs have been what's on most users wishlist. Crash/FF7/Shenmue, meh, don't see any of em being there.
 
TLG is a megaton.

EVERY Sony event people look for it and it's a no-show. Cock-tease of the century, when it finally shows, tears will flow. Just has to be good, we know it'll be beautiful.
 
I don't need Crash, Shenmue or even FFVII:R.

I'll be happy with seeing more of the stuff I already know about (NMS, UC4, Order etc) and I'm waiting to he happily surprised by anything else announced.

For me, getting a firm release date on PS4 Assault Android Cactus would give me the quivers, vapours and probably a stonking erection.
 
Sony's last few conferences have been really disappointing so I'm not sure if I can even muster the hype anymore. Im definitely curious since they kinda have to announce something exciting as a centerpiece for this event but I have a feeling I will be let down unless its A)Something totally new and exciting or B)a revival of a long dormant PS1 franchise (jet moto, crash, psygnosis games (wipeout, Colony Wars, G-Police), etc.)

Well and that's why it isn't gonna happen, unless it's a seriously pared down game asset wise. I see a Shenmue Tales/Episodes to be a far more likely incarnation of the game than a full fledged AAA release. Yakuza is basically Shenmue in terms of gameplay, minigames, focus on Japanese culture and that didn't do well enough to ship the last major installment over here. Yakuza 4 was limited to certain retailers as it was. I just don't see it coming out as a big title just for the sake of fanservice. I love those games but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

I should probably play Ico and Shadow of the Colossus sometime, so I can understand the hype for Last Guardian...
Click to expand...

Eh they're both amazing games, but at this point Last Guardian hype is largely due to it being the unattainable, the apple in the garden of eden, baby. Don't you know that we'll always be true?
 
Did I miss any new stuff/leaks etc? Didn't get to check this thread for a few hours and there are way too many posts to go through lol

The last thing I can think of was Sony San Diego teasing having something unexpected to show on twitter. If there has been anything else I missed it.

SotC is fantastic, and truthfully I never had a chance to play Ico but either way my TLG hype is insane

That's not why. Shadow of the Colossus is arguably the best game ever made.

Yes you should

Both are amazing

Well I guess I'll have to bring out my PS3 again, and see if I managed to get Shadow of the Colossus when it was on Plus.

Not sure if posted, but from reddit. Some guys prediction for Saturday.
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.

And if they do announce it, it should be on SUNDAY, as the finale or near-finale announcement.

And because, that's when I'll be there, bitches!
