Uncharted will sell no matter what time of the year it releases.

....and my argument is not about the game selling well. I'm saying that it would have a better impact on HW sales during the holiday as a new release. MS knows this as the only reason they are in the race in the US is because of the Holiday push. Big games, Big Bundles and Price drops.

They will probably have Gran Turismo and Horizon for Holiday 2016 + other unnanounced games..
Sonys Strategy is to bring out big exclusives over the whole year instead of only the holiday season

Uncharted had never been delayed.
I have no reason to second guess their release plans.

By that logic, why is Morpheus slated for a 1H release instead of the holidays?
MS =/= Sony. Different companies, different business plans, different strategies.

Sorry, I missed your first post and was ignorant about the overall context of what you were saying.
I think if Sony has no meaningful exclusives holiday season of next year then they'll just play it out like they're seemingly doing this fall - by emphasising the big third-party releases through partnerships and heavy marketing. Having the likes of Battlefront and CoD closely associated with your platform will be more effective at shifting consoles than a first-party title. It's sad, but true.

When has Sony ever done that? Despite all the complaints online from people trying to fan the console war flame, it really doesn't seem like Sony cares. They've been quite successful with their strategy of releasing games throughout the year.
Kind of crazy, but I really have no idea what anyone is doing this E3 besides Bethesda who seems more than happy to say whats coming.
Outside of
EA: Star Wars, Mirrors Edge, Mass Effect
MS: Halo and Battletoads
Sony: God of War, RIME, No Man's, Uncharted
Nintendo: Zelda
I have no idea whats being shown outside of that

don't get me wrong. I would love for Uncharted 4 to come out next spring. The sooner the better. I just think it's better to launch new IP's during the spring when there's less competition, and tried and true games and franchises during the holiday season to drive hardware sales. hopefully I'm wrong and it comes out in the spring so that I can enjoy it. Again the sooner the better.

what has bethesda confirmed other than doom? battle toads is not confirmed. zelda is not going to be shown. and a god of war appearance isn't confirmed either

if they didn't have an entire conference scheduled, i'd agree with you. but if they show up to this with just doom that would be awfully disappointing. it's more likely we see both games

No Zelda for Nintendo I thought?
I think Sony is gonna give No Man's Sky a huge presence at the show.
I gotchu, brah:
Bethesda: Doom, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls Online (probably BattleCry, Dishonored II, and Dishonored Remaster, too)
Microsoft: Rare Project(s), New IPs, Gears of War Remaster, Forza Motorsport 6, Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider (probably Scalebound, Gears of War Next, and Crackdown, too) (maybe Decisive Games' and Twisted Pixel's new projects)
EA: Star Wars, Mirror's Edge, New Plants vs. Zombies, Need for Speed, Sports Games (maybe Visceral's Star Wars Project)
YouBeSoft - Assassin's Creed Syndicate, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege (maybe a new Far Cry, Child of Light, Rayman, or Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs sequel - probably a new surprise like they always have)
Sony: Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank, Until Dawn, Tearaway Unfolded, No Man's Sky, Level-5's new project (possibly Gran Turismo 7, Gravity Rush 2 or Remaster, Horizon, Media Molecule's new project, SCE Bend Studio's new game, or The Last Guardian)
Nintendo: Devil's Third, Fatal Frame, Fire Emblem If, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Woolly World (possibly Bravely Second localization, Yo-Kai Watch in English, Paper Mario for Wii U)
Square Enix: Final Fantasy XV short trailer, Human Head's new project for Shinra Cloud, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes, Just Cause 3 (probably the next Hitman - maybe Star Ocean 5 localization confirmation and a Kingdom Hearts III trailer)
I wouldn't think so.
PlayStation 4's development environment is much more akin to PC, whereas PlayStation 3 and its Cell architecture were a whole different beast.
One would think Quantic Dream would show their new game at PGW, considering they're based in France.
Fallout 4 thing is just rumors.
This, combined with the fact that this is Lego Dimensions's tag line, almost confirms to me that a WB exclusive will be revealed at the Sony conference, along with some sort of incentive for Dimensions on PS3/4 (exclusive figure in the Starter pack a la Infinity and Hulk?). This SCREAMS "WB Segment" to me, with a Dimensions announcement, Mad Max Trailer/Demo (especially with the buzz of Fury Road), final Batman trailer, and then the reveal of WB's exclusive.

Am I missing something about a WB PS4 exclusive? They have some close marketing ties with Sony - Mordor, Batman, Mad Max, but I don't see anything for an actual exclusive game?
It's something Verendus teased. I think WB is going to reveal a game (Suicide Squad) but it's going to be multiplat with Sony marketing, not exclusive.

I predict last of us 2 will be announced, left 4 dead 3, a new mega man game, and red dead redemption 2
I AM FROM THE FUTURE
Exactly. Verendus said they have a AAA PS4 exclusive coming from WB. Suicide Squad, Superman, or Injustice 2 seem like the most likely options to me (suicide squad and superman in particular have been heavily rumored). Having it be multiplat with Sony marketing would be interesting, but I'm holding out that I think it's an exclusive. Maybe even this holiday; I think the latest game that WB is releasing this year is Mad Max in September.
EDIT: this year is wishful thinking. Next Summer sounds more realistic.

Ah, does anyone have a link to what he said?

Verendus already teased that Superman will make his comeback in a non-fighting Game.
With the Movie Batman vs Superman coming out, i think WB want's to make the Transition from the Batman Games to the Superman Games (With the first one beeing time exclusive on Ps4)
YES from 2013
Oh yeah, I had forgotten that tidbit. That seems really likely to me. Who would be making it, though? Is Monolith big enough to be working on that as well as Mordor 2 (assuming they're making that, but they'd be foolish not to be)? WB Montreal? It seemed like they were being groomed to make Batman games after Rocksteady was done. Either that, or Rocksteady has a secret second team a la Naughty Dog and Last of Us. Man, THAT would be a reveal.
EDIT: Lockstarter is also obviously code for Rockstar (!!!), but who the heck could Lazyeye be?

I was just thinking recently that his posts sound like he really wants to be viewed as an insider. Lots of speculation posted as fact.

I'm definitely interested in VR and all that it can bring to gaming, but if it eats up a significant portion of Sony's E3 conference (or if Microsoft announces theirs, etc.) that will be fairly disappointing, especially since it's a (likely late) 2016 thing. I think it has more of a place at GDC and CES shows, and things like this do not demo well on large stages. I think that's well known now, and so it might just be a topic rather than a full multiple demo deal.

DOA then.
What is that like 500?
Given how frequently non-Western games are either uninteresting to me or turn out to be disappointments, that takes just a little bit of wind out of my sails. Unless it could be a European Dev, in which case I'm re boarding the hype train. But I haven't played any Japanese games that I've LOVED in some time, barring Nintendo.
I can see that Gran Tourismo and some aspects of Media Molecule's game will be promoted as VR friendly (for example sculpting objects in VR). Although I would be willing to take a bet that Media Molecule will not be making a full on 60 fps game, thus no full on VR compatiblity.
Too much for VR too succed

that's not that bad? How much were you expecting

I'd be happy if it was $330 or less.
Where did the Lazyeye = Activision association come from anyway? Not sure I understand.
