I'm worried that Sony is going to tone down their conference now that MS did abysmally. Please do not cancel Dreams 2.0 :(

They prepare these things for a while. They're not going to make alterations at the 11th hour, it would be absolutely chaotic and it's actually even more of a reason to go as strong as possible.
 
Ehh they in the best position right now I doubt they care about posts like that.

Not really I guess, but it still puts a big cloud up there that is Scorpio is coming. If I were running Sony right now I'd unveil Neo and hit back with an available in Sept/Oct and remind everyone of some of the amazing games coming in the next 12 months that will support Neo mode. Gamers hate waiting.

Well Scorpio's reveal was pretty "big" and if we have to believe Andrew House then there'll be no PS Neo presence at E3 this year so Sony "needs" some good stuff to combat 2 new hardware reveals.
 
I know this isn't going to happen. But man would I love to see a MGS4 remaster. :(
Or a MGS collection. Sha,e they made Legacy last gem. Should've saved that for this gen.
 
Are you being serious, right now?
100%. If your competition did terribly, why not jog to the finish line? Sony has no reason to pull out all the stops now, they can distribute information more evenly throughout the year. Even Gopher's "poem" hinted to them revealing everything at this conference, why would they want/need to do that anymore?

One new hardware reveal, and one video talking about a concept that doesn't exist yet.

Sony announce Crash, they win.
 
Oh for sure! I played the first Assassin Creed and then never bothered with the rest until Black Flag because of the setting and ship stuff interested me. Loved the game, just hated the Assassin stuff so if you remove all that stuff then they've got the perfect game for me.

Yep, also seems plausible that they decided to make a pirate game after Black Flag and so they decided to steer clear of ships and sea in Unity and Syndicate.

Cause they'll have other stuff for the rest of the year? No one is furiously rewriting their planned and rehearsed show now simply due to what MS done.

you honestly think that this show they've planned for months, they're gonna start rewriting and rehearsing the entire thing because of a MS press conference everybody knew was coming

are you for real
 
PS4 didn't sell better because it's the most powerful. It sold well because MS literally fucked up. PS4 was also $100 cheaper.

I doubt Sony is "spooked" they've probably known about Scorpio longer than any of us, and neo will be on the market for at least a full year before Scorpio even releases. Don't see how Scorpio will mess up Sony's business model with PS4.

You really think PS4 kicked ass because it was the most powerful? Were you not around last Gen, or in the PS2 era, or in the PS1 era*?

These conferences are planned weeks in advance; they're not going to be making drastic changes the day of the event.
 
Ms had a solid showing but no surprises cos of leaks. Bad gameplay demos and lack of excitement because of said leaks.Scorpio announcement was a fart in the wind after everything being pc cross buy. They've basically said go buy a windows 10 steam box and get the best of both.Pc and ps4/neo for exclusives is the only way now tbh. Scalebound looks incredible though. Can't wait for that one.

Sony better put on a good show. With decent demos. Excited to see what they can come up with.

You honestly think because the MS presser blew, that Sony is then going to react to that by doing the same? I mean really? That's not how business nor pressers work. Come on man...
 
Hmm, it's a bit worrying that there were no Capcom announcement at Microsoft's press conference. In no way are they gonna announce both Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 7 at Sony's presser.
 
If Sony doesn't talk about Neo, is this a sign of force or weakness?

It's a sign of superior strategic intelligence, or call it whatever you want. As many have pointed out, announcing the X1S and THEN a new and better version of the console coming a year later, in the same conference... it's a terrible choice. Not to mention the X1S is sexy as fuck, why not let it have all the attention....

I really hope Sony does what they said they will do, not talk about the Neo at their E3 Press Conf...
 
Dead Don't Ride, GOW4 reveal, TLG release date. Would be huge after what's been shown so far honestly.

I honestly think we'll be getting some good 3rd party reveals. I think Sefton Hill is at E3, We've been teased with a RE game, and RDR. Those announcements would get people hype as hell.

Also think the Slim reveal could have been handled a bit better. It's $299 for the 500gb and $399 for the 2TB

Based on what reasoning? Both of those titles would likely, overwhelmingly, sell the most on the PS4.
 
Aside from the specs everything Phil said about the Scorpio ecosystem is exactly what the Neo would be doing.

But everyone was like "that's too much work for the devs' blah blah blah.

Now I see Colin of all people saying the Scorpio reveal was masterfully done. All the arguments should still apply.

That said apparently Sony isn't announcing Neo tonight anyway.
colon said it was well done? I thought he would at least be peeved they are doing it at all.

But i agree it was a good reveal, I just don't think people will give Sony credit here, they emulated the February event IMO with the whole "by the devs for you" marketing Sony started. I've posted it twice though so I don't wanna fanboy out, but the similarities I felt were there.

Nothing about that reveal would make sony care .
In fact MS did Sony work by talking about there next system so early .
 
Wut?

Any link?

Well its been rumored that sucker punch is working on new IP here by some insiders i guess (initially they were assumed to be working on Spider man but later debunked with Insomniac doing that game instead and also it could be a VR game). Shu also said in an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2oEbmyujIE, look at around 29 minutes) he is really excited for their new project last year, so it could be a new IP.

Because these events aren't reactionary games. They're planned ahead well in advance. Think about it.

Would sony fly someone in to do an e3 presentation then change everything less than 8 hours before the show? Highly doubtful.
 
Sony should easily win best show. Microsoft show was somewhat salvaged by the hardware announcement. The games didn't look impressive outside of Forza Horizon 3 and and State Of Decay 2.

The fact that Sony has already ruled out the Neo/4K being discussed at the conference shows that they're going hard with games. That will be their counter to hardware reveals/announcements.
 
I guess I just don't understand the point of having all that hardware if games still need to be designed with the lowest common denominator (Xbox One) in mind. Maybe I'll be won over to this new console philosophy but right now it's puzzling.

The Neo and Scorpio seem to be negating one of the great things about consoles, the introduction of a new hardware baseline. Now they're just going to be like PCs where yes the upper limits are very high but few take advantage of all that power.
