What if Sony has Bluepoint doing Spider-Man?

A wildcard I have not seen mentioned, and possibly rewarded to them to do a new game instead of a remaster, due to the great job with Drake Collection.

hey welcome back Obi Wan

Thank you, sir.

Great time to be back. This week has been quite eventful.
 
It's kind of depressing how many people want Crash in Skylanders to be real and the only Crash thing announced.

*shrugs*

People I guess. Anything for Internet drama.

I bailed out that thread so quick its embarrassing.

Like I said in there tho I'm not jumping on the dream is dead train yet. They could just as easily announce a new crash and go o yea he'll also be in skylanders. So meh
 
Needs more Duck Game. But yeah, your predictions are awesome. I'm thinking September for Last Guardian as well, and February for Gravity Rush 2 sounds perfect (since the fall is gross with how many games are already coming, get that free and clear of that!)

Thank you. I think TLG in early September is a good bet. Stays away from all the heavy hitters from FFXV to COD/BF/Gears/WD2, etc. and is a month after No Man's Sky. Gravity Rush 2 in February makes sense as it's away from the games I just mentioned, gets released in what's usually a slow month and comes out a year after the re-master. Don't know how GRR did but GR2 will have to sell very well for there to be a GR3 in my opinion. Persona 5 won't affect GR2 since they're both very different games and once 2017 starts, I actually see Horizon being delayed a few weeks to March just to get it away from GR2 and Persona 5.

Thanks for reminding me of this. I had a great time with the demo and given that it's exclusive to PS4 and supposedly releasing this year, I'd be really shocked if we didn't see just a tad more, even if it was just a new gameplay trailer with a release date.

You're welcome. I'm expecting at least a few minutes of Ni-Oh at Sony's press conference. My list is long but majority will be a short few minutes meant to be updates and reminders.

Sounds realistic. And, for me, pretty boring. There's maybe two games on that list I'm passionately interested in, and both I've already seen plenty of and just want to play.

Hype defused for now. Probably for the best.

I know a lot of people are expecting Dreams 2.0 but to be perfectly honest, Sony doesn't need it right now and I don't want to see 2018 games and beyond. I want to see the games for 2016 and 2017. I'm interested in 10-12 of the games that I listed and even those im not interested in playing, im still interested in seeing them and how they do when they get released. Sorry that it's boring for you.

This seems to be way too many Japanese games to feel realistic.

True but if they want Japanese games to sell better, Sony needs to you know, show them off. I'm not interested in the majority of them but I still think that they should show them off more than they currently do. I'm expecting a few short minutes of each game just to remind everyone and give those who are already interested an update on where each game stands.

Your show would be like four hours long.

Can't speak for anyone else but I would love this!!! Four hours??? Screw it, let's make it five baby!!! LOL. :)

Not much to get excited about there, it's basically 2015 all over again with a couple of new mixed in.

Although I do hope we get a worldwide Vita price drop. I could do with buying a second unit as back up/to take to work with me.

That's the problem with showing games early. They will obviously be repeated the following year if they're not released in between each E3. This is why I don't want to see games for 2018 or games that aren't ready yet to be shown. Out of Dreams 2.0, the only game im slightly interested in is Shenmue III and I can easily see that taking another two years. I want to see what im getting sooner rather than later. A Vita price drop should have happened already. Sony should just start clearing them out by now.

I also expect something like this.
Lots of updates, tons of great games, a few new big titles announced.
But I can't think of surprises bigger than FFVIIR and Shenmue 3 being announced and TLG resurfacing after years of silence all in the same conference.
Even if Crash happened (and it won't especially if the rumors about Knack 2 are true) and RDR2 happened, it wouldn't be anywhere close to the surprise level of last year. Certain things can only happen once in a lifetime and that's why they're special.

Exactly. The "big" wishes I keep seeing are Red Dead 3 which could happen but not at either press conference. Take Two/Rockstar don't need to kiss either publisher's ass. Personally, if Red Dead 3 isn't on their release schedule by May 2017, I would wait until next year's E3 to show it and pull a Fallout 4. Rockstar Games don't need years of videos, trailers, etc. They can show it off at E3 next year and then a gameplay video a month or so before release. It's one of those games from one of those publishers that once you see it, you're not forgetting it.

Isn't Crash Bandicoot IP still owned by Activision? If so, my guess is that the only reason it appeared in Uncharted 4 is so their copyrights don't expire from non-use. And if Knack 2 is true which it appears to be, no point in having Crash anyway. Better off saving it for a future year if it ever happens.

Agent is as dead as Eight Days.

I hope this year Sony has enough sense to not do a Destiny bundle for DLC and have a FFXV bundle instead. Missing out a MGS5 bundle for the U.S. was an oversight.

I think that Sony will do a FFXV console bundle for sure. The Destiny/COD bundles are my guesses due to the contract that Sony has with Activision. Both received bundles last year so if the same thing happens again this year, im expecting this to be a yearly thing.

Yep.

As for this new rumor, didn't a rumor before this one say, by a supposed insider that Crash will be there, but, 'not in a big way'?

Still does not rule out all eventual avenues.

I mean who knows crash in skylanders in 2016 to raise awareness with the younger gen than crash in 2017. The way these devs and publishers think I could see that
 
I mean Crash's 20 year anniversary is this year right? If it's not now, I do feel like they're gonna lose out on the nostalgia factor as more and more people don't even know what Crash is :/.
 
I wonder if Sony will have a "Japanese Game" segment where they sizzle reel or show rapid-fire trailers for games like Ni-Oh, Yakuza 6, Ni No Kuni, and Dragon Quest Builders showing the lockdown the PlayStation brand has on that portion of the industry. Would make for great fan service and would be a way to quickly showcase a lot of games.

I wonder this every E3...they never do it
 
I posted my predictions a few pages ago of what I think will be at Sony's press conference. Below are a few things that I DON'T think will be there and are of course, just guesses and my own personal opinion.

- I don't think that it would make any sense for Sony to talk about or show Neo. It would take away from their show overall and make everyone question what every game shown was running on - current PS4 or PS4 Neo? To me, that's a problem if I was them. A far better idea would be to release a Sony Direct (same as Nintendo) a month or so before Neo gets released. A recorded video detailing everything and explaining it all in a rehearsed scripted video is far better than live on a stage where things can go bad quickly. The video would obviously be picked up and shown on every website, etc. so getting it to people wouldn't be a problem. Also, if they drop the current PS4 to $300, why announce a $400 Neo at the same press conference? And showing VR? No way. Way too much oversaturation and that needs to be avoided. I will be shocked if Sony mentions it let alone shows it on Monday.

- I know everyone loves Crash but isn't the IP owned by Activision? If so, im pretty sure that they allowed it to be put in Uncharted 4 for one reason. It keeps their trademark active and can't be cancelled via non-use. And if Knack 2 is at E3, it would make more sense to save Crash for next year if it ever happens.

- I don't think that Kojima will show up at all during the press conference. Seriously, there's no reason for him to show up. Why would he? A cheap pop? That's stupid. He can only debut for the first time once. No point in wasting that. I would save him and his game for next year's E3.

- Red Dead 3. Simply, Take Two/Rockstar don't need to be at either publisher's press conference. And if you're Sony/Microsoft, why would you want it to most likely overshadow everything at your own press conference. Take Two/Rockstar could still announce the game next week but im not betting on it. I'm thinking they hold off, pull a Bethesda/Fallout 4 next year and you get the game a few months later. Any game from Rockstar doesn't need years of anything to stay in gamer's minds....which leads me to the following....

- Agent is pretty much dead. Granted, never say never but aside from wild speculation, hopes, dreams and prayers, you never ever see anything about this game. At least with Red Dead 3, the map leaked and yes, I do believe that's the actual map for the game. If im wrong, im sure someone can correct me but except for Rockstar saying Agent hasn't officially been cancelled, has anyone ever mentioned this game at all? Agent is a prefect example of Take Two/Rockstar not having to show their games for years before actually releasing. Rockstar is too popular, loved by gamers and all.

- Speaking of Rockstar though and the above two games.....for me personally, fuck both of them okay. Give me a M rated MANHUNT 3 already!!! Enough with the open world bullshit. Give me a brutal, bloody, violent snuff video game that also gives you great visuals, one hell of a soundtrack and kiss ass gameplay in the same way the original did. #Dreams2.0

- As for Naughty Dog, im not expecting them at all until PSX when they show off the single player DLC which im predicting for next January.

- Don't see Sucker Punch being at E3 at all. Let Dead Don't Ride have it's shot. Give the smaller teams their time to shine. Besides, chances are their game is a few years away anyway and no, I don't want them developing a Spider-Man game. UGH.
 
People wishing for Crash being only in Skylanders just for the meltdowns on GAF/Internet are really weird, and I am saying this as someone who couldn't care less about Bandicoot.

I mean look how fast the thread is going some were waiting for the opportunity to say something. Hell every few pages in here we get the "crash wasn't even good hes not coming back" post
 
Even with all of the rumors flying around I'm going into E3 with extremely tempered expectations. It isn't really intentional, I've just always have had my expectations in check for E3 and am easily satisfied. Heck, I was happy with E3 2014 lol

Hoping for meltdowns and disappointment can be a little odd, but for me it's funny since it shows how out of touch some companies can be. Activision is especially rotten with it, with this and Modern Warfare Remastered.
 
Timed exclusives are bullshit. IF Rockstar owed Sony an exclusive for some reason, creating Agent, fine. Not timed though, at that point if Rockstar have wiggled things legally down to that just let it go Sony. I know you probably want to get back at MS for TR, but upfront timed exclusives are the sleaziest of sleaze. Just spend your money on new IP/IP you own.
 
are you serious?

Yeah, I am. Manhunt was fucking awesome. Loved that game. Manhunt 2 sucked and was heavily edited/censored. Would easily prefer Manhunt 3 over Agent/Red Dead 3. I play a good amount of open world games but sometimes, I want a good linear game. Manhunt was an awesome linear game. Besides, Red Dead 3 will come out eventually so why not make those like me (all five of us) happy with a new Manhunt game??? Manhunt FTW!!! :)

who does?
 
Timed exclusives are fucking stupid and a waste of money. If a publisher is going to pay large sums of money for exclusivity, why not pay extra and at the very least, make it a console/PC exclusive? If publishers out there have so much money that they don't know what they want to do with it all, let me know, I'll send them my address and they can mail me a multi-million dollar check. LOL.

I can understand why you're so hyped for a Manhunt 3 but a Red Dead 3 would be a megaton and people loose their minds. I mean R* really knows how to design open-world games.
 
Oh and that Spider-Man thing is real, Insomniac is developing it, original story, Sony is publishing, PS4 only, highly stylized cartoon look.

I was excited until I read Insomniac and last part. I'd like to see a realistic MCU spiderman by sucker-punch.

Don't get me wrong, i love Insomniac. But it fits sucker-punch more.
 
I get why people associate sucker punch with super heroes but literally nothing in any of the infamous games correlates to spidey's particular move set and the way he gets around
 
Since there will be a PS4 Neo, will we ever see another PS VR version with revamped hardware using better hardware and components, maybe better display and resolution with more responsiveness (just like the new iterations of Oculus Rift) which will be suited for PS4 Neo?
