I feel like Sony moved past the CG reveals. The last major CG reveal they did I think was in 2008 with the GOW 3 "IN THE END, THERE WILL BE ONLY CHAOS" teaser.

With Horizon's response last year, I am sure it's an in-engine gameplay.
Wasn't bloodborne a cgi reveal ?
 
If a game isnt in the top 40 in the u.k it very much is dozens. Plus knack still charts from time to time where as mario never does. The fact is Knack started by selling higher and has charted more often than knack in the uk. You seem to not follow the charts for the uk, the wii u is really dead there.

Wait, Knack still charts from time to time?

If that's true, then yes, I'm wrong.

And yeah, I know the Wii U is dead in the UK, even more so than other parts of the world. But you're also correct in that I don't regularly follow the UK charts.

Lord Knack, forgive me! My punishment is a pre-ordered copy of Knack 2 when it's revealed!

Anyone who is familiar with the PAL charts knows that the numbers below the top 40 are insignificant, and that's putting it mildly. I'm talking a miniscule amount here. So no, that would have little-to-no bearing in regards to what we're talking about.

Yeah, I concede this one!
 
This is exactly what I mean! Although I'm sure the number is much greater than "dozens". If you're buying a Wii U in 2015 or 2016, you're far more likely to be interested in a Mario game than a new PS4 owner in 2015 / 2016 is interested in Knack.

And this is, of course, speculation, since we don't have numbers for Knack. But out of the 4.82 million copies of 3D World, one would assume at least a few hundred thousand of those are from the UK.

Knack 2 exists.

MediEvil and Parappa stay buried.

Okay.

This is why the mere existence of a Knack 2 pisses me off so much. So many wonderful Sony IPs out there just lying dormant and forgotten.
 
If Nier is this year then fucking hell yes.

Also, Shinobi your God of War teases have gotten me excited for the announcement now. It's not like I hate Kratos, I just think the series needs a big shake up which it looks like it's getting. Hoping it's a female main character.

I hope the announcement is like Horizon - a short story/concept trailer that transitions naturally into gameplay showing a cool encounter.

Here's hoping they've switched out the chain blades for some dual swords or something.
 
Re: Crash

Honestly, I'd take almost anything. Because it would show that a solo Crash title is bound to come.

But anything less then a full title this E3 means they better have him in multilple things. HD Collection, Knack & Crash, headlining Sonys new fighter etc.

Imagine if Knack 2 was Knack & Crash. And that was the solo Crash game.
 
I feel like Sony will announce something new that also releases in 2016. Crash seems like the obvious choice but I feel like there could be something else.
Nope I doubt that.Other titles will most likely get release dates but a new unannounced game for this year does not seem likely at this time.

They have GT sport,Last Guardian and PSVR for the rest of the year.

And Gravity Rush 2. ;)

Good lord no. I think Crash and Knack can coexist. They're both VERY different gameplay wise (hell Knack's hardly a platformer, just a half-ass brawlathon). One doesn't have to be ousted.

I'd rather have Crash star in a solo game and nothing else. Something with polish and love. It has the potential that has yet to be unseen.
 
I'll buy 5 PS4Ks if sony announces Bloodborne 2 this year

In reality, I'm looking forward to the release date of Nier 2, Gravity Rush 2 and TLG this year. I need at least 2 of them to release this year.
 
They have to go hard or go home.

No C-tier developer made Crash game with some generic looking Bandicoot. it has to have a Ratchet and Clank PS4 like presentation off the bat with a good developer backing it. Hell, a remastered collection to top it off. New game, ND or someone else(Insomniac, Sanzaru etc.) at the helm and either a miraculous 2016 or 2017 release date.

If Crash is just a PSN avatar release I'll go fucking nuts.

Exactly, it's now or never.

I wouldn't mind remasters IF it's coinciding with the game like how they did it with Uncharted and Sly Cooper. I'd love to see a game that reimagines the first Crash with something akin to the recent Ratchet game in terms of visuals and presentation to celebrate 20 years. Hell, even if ND has no involvement in developing, at least let them consult the production.

I just don't want this to turn out anticlimactic but I'll remain optimistic.
 
By the end of this year we are going to have so much cool japanese titles on the PS4... literally filling the gap all year round in between Sony first party game titles
 
At first I was thinking Neo wouldn't be revealed until Gamescom but since God of War will be one of the flagship titles for it I'm starting to think it will be revealed at E3. The summer months are slow anyway so losing some core gamer sales wouldn't hit them hard anyway.

I hope they reveal it, I want to see what it looks like and how much in improves a games graphics. I sold one of my PS4s now when I still can get something for it :)
 
There's absolutely no way they'll show a CG trailer for God of War, if they show it even. They've moved past that, I imagine. It's 016, and we can get such amazing trailers built with the game's engine that showcase the gameplay as well as hype people up with flashy antics. We don't need CG trailers anymore. It's not 2005. Not sure why publishers keep churning them out.

Also, as for the protagonist in God of War, didn't the concept art show Kratos? Or are you thinking that was a ruse of sorts? It just can't be someone else. Would kill all the anticipation I have for the game. His story hasn't ended. GoW3 end credits prove that.

Don't fuck this one up, Sony Santa Monica.

God of War 4 is definitely there so they will show something. Whether it's CG or gameplay is the only unknown.
 
I'm kinda sick of the lazy "what if the Hero is the villan trope"

Unless they go all the way and turn Kratos into a irredeemable murdering of innocents bastard, I don't care.

Don't need an Uncle Dante "oh actually I'm not the villan, just here to pass the torch" situation.
 
Forgot about that one. Guess that's how much I don't care for CGI reveals (Bloodborne is my GOTG).

For me, BB's real first reveal is that Gamescom trailer.


Uncharted 4 reveal was......well actually I don't know if I could call that CGI. It was more cutscene model than CGI
 
CGI (and ''in engine'' or even worse, ''gameplay'') reveals certainly have lost their touch for me compared to last gen days. Gameplay reveals like Horizon, Nioh leave a much bigger impact. I think Uncharted 4 had a pretty bad ''trailer'' at E3 2014.

There are however some CGI trailers that are done well enough. Bloodborne and FFVIIR reveal trailers are pretty classy.

With Horizon's response last year, I am sure it's an in-engine gameplay.

Ironically enough, God of War Ascension also had a CGI reveal trailer. I'm sure there have been others as well, but can't think of any right now.

Wasn't bloodborne a cgi reveal ?

Technically it was, but I think they showed actual gameplay there at the same E3 show.
 
I still can't believe that Sony didn't include a gameplay trailer of Second Son at E3 2013. They had gameplay footage released after the conference and it looked better than anything showed at the event.

FFVIIR reveal trailer is straight magic.

You never know quite how down to the line these E3 demos are. Maybe not on time enough to be featured in a show.
 
This E3 could be fantastic for Superhero-Game fans, Gravity Rush, Injustice, Telltales Batman, Spider-Man, hopefully Suicide Squad is getting revealed, whatever Sucker Punch is up to (Infamous) might be there, Crackdown at the Xbox conference..

This gif symbolises Kat flying out of 2016 and into 2017.

Don't.
 
I'm down for a new main character as long as Kratos is involved in some way. If GoWIV is big enough, I'd like to see them experiment with GTA V's character switching.
