Do we have any predictions for second-party games? Too early for FromSoft right?
Depends on what you're looking for when you say first party.
If you mean strictly internal studios then Santa Monica, Bend, Sucker Punch and PixelOpus are the only ones unaccounted for. I could also see other small projects in the works at Sony London and maybe Media Molecule from the group that did Tearaway.
If you mean the proper definition of first party (Sony owns IP and funds it) then the possibilities get far greater. From Software might be teaming with Sony again, for example. And then there's always the collaborative projects that Santa Monica, Japan Studio and XDev are always working on.

Well, we could see something new from Detroit, that Quantic Dream game. I would say it's too early for From Software, but they announced Dark Souls 3 shortly after the release of Bloodborne, so who knows with them. I wanna say I read something about Level 5 doing an exclusive for Sony, but I could be wrong. And it's obviously way too early to talk about Kojima.
Oh shit true, I forgot about Detroid. Hyped for that as I'm one of the seemingly few people that loved Beyond: Two Souls lol.
Level 5 was rumoured to be working on a big JRPG right? But I can't remember if that was supposed to be Ni No Kuni 2 or not.
I wonder what the chances are for a Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead.
Speaking of Level 5. Do we know what ever happened to that “major title that will surpass White Knight Chronicles " ? It can't be Ni no Kuni 2, right ?

Yeah, Ni No Kuni is bigger than White Knight Chronicles afaik.
Could be. Ni no Kuni II looks epic.
If Verendus is to be believed, though, Level-5 is working on a PS4 first-party title in addition to their third-party game.
My interest in Ni No Kuni II is 100% dependent on whether or not they updated the battle system. The Team AI might have been the worst I've ever seen in a JRPG. Made the Tales series look industry-leading in the AI department.
Also I'm not expecting it at the press conference outside of sizzle reels.

I dunno, but Hino said that "that he’d like to make an epic game that exceeds the scale of White Knight Chronicles". Seems like a new IP. I could be wrong though.
Here's hoping we get a new IP after Ni no Kuni II.
lol I miss big Jack
Amazing! Could we have Starhawk here..

I wonder if ni no kuni2 will be at e3 I mean it's debut was at psx depending on how far along it is I can see it at e3. The IP did better in the west anyway right?
Yes? NNK2 is going to sell and review better than White Knight ever did.

Agreed, no chance.
Yeah, can't wait till we find out what that is.

Okay maybe I went a little extreme but if they want Crash to make a big comeback, they wouldn't release a shovelware game to celebrate 20 years of the franchise. Otherwise the series will be in purgatory again.
I just want to see a high-quality Crash game again, something that'll reinvigorate interest the IP. I'd hate to see not being used for squat.

I'd say both, honestly. A setting and style of game that doesn't really get too much attention being made with a big budget and one of the most respected developers in the industry made a lot of people (myself included) very excited.
I assume it was a combination of them just shifting focus to other projects and the game being too ambitious for its own good? It would be very nice to at least get a confirmation that it isn't COMPLETELY dead.

Just got Sony invite...took much longer this year. Think tickets are harder to come by.
The closest theater in miles who's doing the E3 Theater Experience thing is 4 hours from where I live so no deal for that.
I'd rather watch it on a Twitch stream with some friends.

It wasn't a good look when speculation was about The Last Guardian, FF7 and Shenmue either.

Was speaking about the conference not the movie theater deal....yeah I wouldn't go to that either.

Well fuck...just found out today my house is copping an 8hr power outage on this day due to apartments being built across the road. I will miss the Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft & PC gaming conferences
At least when my power comes back, they should all be up on youtube to watch in full. Will just need to put myself on media blackout until then :/

Can't you go to starbuck and use their wifi or something? Order a cup of coffee and stay there for 2 hours.

I predict Sony will once again have the best conference.
I think Ni no Kuni II will be there. The original PS3 version of NNK came out in November 2011 so that team has probably been working on NNKII for a while now (even taking into account that the English version they put a lot of effort into localising didn't come until January 2013 that's three years ago). The trailer also made it seem like a lot was done. Hopefully they have improved the battle system a lot and we can see it in a new demo (for the press not public) at E3.

Public Wifi at an Aussie Starbucks would definitely not be able to handle a livestream event lol

Sizzle reel inclusion Y/N?
Possible, but not at E3. They maybe include it very briefly in their Gamescom/PGW show.

Interesting tag you got there, I couldn't reach the end XD

Considering the amount of content in all of the mainline Ape Escape games, I'm going to have to disagree pretty strongly.

We're approaching two years since First Light, or 2.5 years since Second Son. I don't think it's unreasonable that they might have something to show; particularly if it's built on the Second Son tech.
I think Jack certainly had better charisma and stage presence.
Maybe Everybody's Golf, Wild or The Tomorrow Children? They might be a bit too small fry that SCEA doesn't think would suit E3.
That's a shame. I'd love a new major RPG from Japan Studio. I'm really excited for both Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian, but I hope they have something else in development as well (and no, I don't mean Knack 2).
Why do people keep bringing this up as if executives don't lie all the time
Yep. If Japan Studio are developing a AAA JRPG "to rival FF" (which I still don't fully believe) he wouldn't casually confirm a JRPG is in development. He especially (compared to most other execs which are already tight lipped) never breaks and gives out scoops in interviews/fan questions (just judging by Colin Moriarty discussing his large amount of experience interviewing him and seeing him do interviews/get asked questions by fans at events).

Oh you're in Australia too? McDonald's and Hungry Jacks have wifi fast enough to keep up with YouTube livestreams. Twitch doesn't work for crap when I tried it (unless you drop down to mobile).
Some coffee shops also have decent wifi. Westfield works too - again, YouTube streaming, medium quality.
Best option is your phone if you're in a 4g area. Doesn't take as much data as you'd think (1-3gigs for 2 conferences)
I've been in a similar position before
Tarsier Studios posted this tease just now, they are known to have very close relations with XDev & Sony. Reveal in 24h

We know they are working on Hunger, a game we still dont know if its a 2nd party Sony game or not. I feel this is prob related to Hunger

Man I'm ready to see more Hunger. That game looks like a playable Tool video \m/
Sweet. Hunger looks very cool.
Oh, I so wanna see more of Hunger, the trailer was so fantastic.
Is there a list of what's realistically expected? I know about GoW4, Dead Don't Ride and Crash possibly happening (mostly just from reading this thread lol). I also assume Detroit might pop up too. I'm not up to date on what everyone else is working on though,
Also these aren't exactly new teases but here. I'm bringing them up because I'm curious on people's opinions in relation to this conference
Potential(?) new Wild Arms from Media.Vision?

the Crash teases
WiLD & the Tomorrow Children would be 2nd party, but it would be interesting to see Ancel's game show up. Also, I completely forgot about Matterfall from Housemarque. I'm really interested to see what that turns out to be.
