I'm gonna say they have nothing for holiday. E3 won't change that. Thats just my suspicion.
I don't think they are worried because there are multiplat that will carry them through holiday, with marketing deals and some exclusives like Persona 5. Maybe put a bundle in there and drop the price.
I do believe Xbone will beat them royally in Nov and Dec in na and UK.

Because it's a short (really short), easy and very casual platformer. Plus, it's essentially a remaster of what didn't sell that well on the Vita. It's not a bad game at all, but it's not a game to compete with Rise of the Tomb Raider and Halo 5 for a lot of people.
If Tearaway is their exclusive game they have for the holidays, that's a shame and will be to the majority of PS4 gamers.
What about all those 3rd party games?

The only people concerned with Sonys holiday lineup are on NeoGaf. General public doesn't care.

I never said that.
Tearaway PS4 is a remake of a Vita game. Naming that as a game to be excited for in the holidays isn't saying much.

And shitting on No Man's Sky too. A free roaming game with the scope of an entire galaxy suddenly deserves no excitement whatsoever. Amazing.
Depends on price + marketing. If Sony drops some VR teasers...
And this.

I do wonder how different some people's opinion of the game would be different if it were a Nintendo game. There seems to be an unreasonable expectation for Sony to make huge western AAA exclusives or they don't count.
Tons of people have ps4s and not Vitas too so the game is basically new to a lot of them.

Yeah. The 360 did fine without any major exclusives.
It's more these aren't the games that people will get hype about. I consider tearaway one of the top 5 games of 2013 but it isn't the sort of thing you sell systems with.
Calling Forza a big title is delusional too.
Are you guys serious? This guy have a typical PR spin and avoided the question.
Here what he really said.
1. They're not rushing their developers.
2. They have a great holiday lineup (because 3rd parties)
And there nothing wrong with that. They will still be the best selling console is the year.

My guess it that Tearaway and No Man's Sky will be better games than the vast majority of stuff released this year.
This is probably true. Most people I know at work and school are super excited and getting ready to buy consoles for Battlefront and COD. That's a great lineup to them.
.
I don't think people are shitting on Tearaway. It's just not a well known established IP. So in terms of having something good to play, sure it's nice, but that doesn't mean Sony shouldn't be concerned.
In the UK it will probably be close. PS4 still outsold the XB1 last November/Dec there.

Those 3 months make up more than half of a years total sales.
The wishful thinker in me is hoping for a Sony surprise. They've fobbed Morpheus off as coming by Q2 next year and say the main reason is waiting for enough decent software. No Mans Sky is touted as Xmas this year going by the New Yorker article and indeed this confirmation straight from Sony.
No Mans Sky is highly likely to be Morpheus supported, it would be crazy for it not to be. The devs have been seen with a Morpheus (and Oculus) dev kit so it seems highly likely.
A VR software shortage at launch for Morpheus will be minimised by having such a hugely hyped and massive game such as No Mans Sky supporting it, along with some neat demos and smaller experiences it could still blow people away and be a cool as hell Xmas present that will blow all else away.
Then we have decent VR games hitting over the course of the year to keep momentum going. Morpheus is like a platform launch in its own right so like any console launch it can survive with one or two must have titles at the beginning. The sheer epicness of having VR will beat away most cynicism from most quarters I predict.
Sony themselves have said Morpheus as it stands is near final hardware anyway and the software issue is what's really holding it back. A surprise Xmas launch would decimate all else before it even if it is "only" No Mans Sky and Project Cars as the main full games supporting it, I'd buy in an instant.

Tearaway is such a fantastic game and if they can do for the PS4 what they did for the Vita, then it will be just as special.
I'm not bothered, RIME, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Volume, No Man's Sky, Until Dawn, Aliennation, Persona 5 will do for me on the exclusive front, then add all those multiplats and it is golden.
I say this as someone who is single console only this gen (money and time are not good right now).

Especially at a time that racing sims are in decline. Sony must be having second thoughts concerning GT7 as well.
Stabbing is an acceptable alternative.
And there is shooting in NMS...kinda deflated my hype for it.
People are looking at this on comparison to Xbox One. There nothing announced this year that competes with a Halo 5 or Tomb Raider. But hey maybe they don't need to? I say third parties are enough for most.

For sim fans it's a big title. Especially with no Gran Turismo in sight.
Tearaway for PS4 is NOT just an ordinary remake.

Even thought I'm still hyped for it, I know what you mean. Let's hope HG came up with a way to prevent PvP from breaking the experience.
It isn't?
Saying Forza is not a big title is even more delusional.

Regardless of what it is, he's not going to namedrop something unannounced, duh.
Or would you rather he talk about Destiny again like last year?

Different hardware, different gimmicks. But it will surely be a lot of fun.

Everything I've seen has supposed the idea that you really are not going to be interacting with other players much, at all. If you're shooting, it'll be PvE content.

This is true. The significance of Sony exclusives is overplayed, not only because they're comfortably in the lead, but also because PS4 will have its first killer lineup of software this year, and it's not going to matter if that software is also on rival platforms. An unprecedented amount of PS4s will sell in November/December compared to XB1 or Wii U.
The only thing Sony could possibly worry about is Microsoft cutting off their balls to practically give away XB1 (not out of the realms of possibility). Otherwise, Xmas is sewn up in Sonyland.

I know what you guys mean, but, in an ideal world, we'd be equally excited about all of these games, not just the violent ones.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
2+ years in and studios are still "getting to grips" with the hardware? Kind of seems ridiculous especially seeing as the hardware is nothing out of the ordinary.
