I don't see why anyone's saying that. We all know Sony has new titles in store. Rofl!
"Not a single new software announcement was made by Sony at this E3" how would that not reflect badly?
A sucker punch game reveal, from software game reveal, Sony Japan game reveal sprinkled in with big third parties and gameplay/release date trailers is all they need to bring the house down. Obviously they are not going to JUST trot out the same stuff from last year with new trailers. Mixed in a with three a four new reveals would be more than enough. Ms and Nintendo are never going to reveal more than 3 or 4 big new titles anyways but Sony will have the added benefit of flexing their muscle with a ton of already announced big games so I don't see this e3 being nothing but a slam dunk for Sony.

Reflects badly to who. Who are we talking about the fanbase, gaf,the masses? I can assure the former and the latter wouldn't give two damns if a good show is put on.
Conversation is all moot anyway they have enough to announce games anyway
100% Agree. Everyone's excitement is so infectious. Like, yeah I'd be jumping up and down in my seat at home too, but having everyone else around me be just as excited is just so awesome.
I don't agree with you at all, obviously some would be disappointed by the lack of new announcements (in your scenario) but no way MS can close the gap software wise, as well as Nintendo, they can have that huge announcement that will make the most noise but when the average guy will look at each console's line up it will be clear which is the superior one, and bottom line, outside of all of the fanboys wars that will revolve around E3, this is the most important thing.
MS can't surpass Sony's line up this E3, they lack enough first party developers for that to happen, Nintendo just launched a new console they can't introduce enough new games compared to an already established console, and besides, they will always lack proper third party support, so yea some will make some noise about it but it's clear who is dominating this gen software wise for at least the upcoming year or two.
Obviously Sony would have to introduce enough new stuff during next year's E3 but I think the gap is big enough that they can just introduce new stuff for their upcoming line up for a year and it would still be clear which console has the superior line up.

Sony is going to have new announcements that much is obvious. Sucker Punch at least is due.
That said I do expect a stronger focus on showing more of past announcements compared to new game reveals than we had over the last 2 years. There is a lot of titles we need updates on that I would think will make up the majority of the conference.

Sure, that is true. I don't expect a ton of new announcements either. However, others and me thought the same last year.
Just by putting release dates and new gameplay trailers on the stuff they showed at E3 2015 and 2016 they would already have a monster of a show.
We're talking, on top of the multiplat third party usual stuff (and a date on KH3 would def be a big get)
Uncharted Lost Legacy
God of War
Spider- Man
Detroit
WilD
Dreams
Days Gone
FF7R
Shenmue 3
Knack 2
Horizon ZD Dlc
Death Stranding
GTS
But it won't be just that.
There's a good chance we'll also see the following
New SuckerPunch IP
Bloodborne 2 (or new From collab)
Capcom exclusive (Deep Down?)
And probably another surprise title or two (I don't expect to see anything on TLOU part2, too early for what I expect to be a mid 2019 title).
MS and Nin are pretty much known quantity at this point, aside from the odd AAA surprise signing either could get (AC is a shoe-in at some level this year for MS imo)...
And honestly even though I think Nin is putting all its eggs in early on (for good reason), their lineup destroys MS's, but Sony's is far stronger than either (for overall E3 lineup. In terms of what actually releases in 2017 it remains to be seen... But the PS4 already had a killer 1st half of the year).
Scorpio is also a known quantity after not 1 but 2 reveals, and the only way it would seriously shake things up would be by launching sub $399. Does anyone expect that to happen?

Oh no doubt and there is certainly it gonna be some new stuff there. It's just Sony has such a huge plate of games on the way we need updates on, FF7 Remake, Spider-Man, Days Gone, etc. I gotta think that's gonna take up a large portion of the conference and there's nothing wrong with that. These are big games people want to see more of. Sprinkle in a Sucker Punch reveal, a Bloodborne 2, and 1 or 2 other new announcements and that's a plenty strong conference.
If you excluded the announcements then that would guarantee it to be the worst show of the big three, just imo
If you can't make new announcements because you have to provide updates on games that still aren't out then that's a problem.
How so, given that this year's releases for the other 2 are also largely known?

How the hell is that a problem? Sony announced a ton of games. More than the other two combined. You think think they can do this every year? It's not that they have unlimited studios.
What the hell do you exect from Microsoft and Nintendo if that Sony line-up would reflect badly?

God I love E3 season.
Whyo said Microsoft and Nintendo were only announcing things for this year.
I expect something new from them. Your competition shows up with new hardware and software announcements. You show up with nothing new at all. It reflects poorly and gives merit to questions like "is Sony getting complacent ?" Idk how else to say it.
If you guys are content getting the same thing 2 years in a row then that's cool, but that personally doesn't get me excited for the future. Agree to disagree.

Competition showing new stuff will be good but i am sure Sony also has a few new things .
Still the talk going to be about games we have seen already and i don' even think Sony new stuff can compare.
GOW , Spidey , TLOUP2 ( if the show it ) UC TLL , Days Gone , GT etc etc.
These are games that going to sell millions people would love to see and get more info about them .

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Hope they don't waste too much time with fucking Destiny 2 and Call Of Duty.
I dont understand this. All of the announced games last year are set to release mostly in 2018-2020. And you are not excited for the future?

What NEW things are the competition going to show? You sure seem pretty confident.
MS is just showing new HW and the same old games that will launch with it. Nintendo will show a direct with games that haven't release yet.
Sure. That doesn't mean I want the same content shown to me a year later.
No one's saying they don't have new things. Some are saying Sony could have an E3 with no new announcements and still have the best show. I'm saying why I disagree.
I don't doubt MS will show one or two games we haven't seen yet. But to assume Sony won't as well is laughable.
Those will get a nice time slot. Two of the biggest games releasing this year and something majority of the market will see. Prepare yourself now.
I would argue that if they only did gameplay demos of spiderman, the last of us, shemnue 3, red dead redemption 2, God of war 4 and ff7R and nothing else, they would still completely steal the show.
People say stuff leaks and it does, but a lot leaks from the last couple of years only really happened very close to E3.
Obviously we're getting new things, from all 3.
But there are 2 facts that are valid for all 3:
1)we mostly know what their internal studios are working on.
We also mostly know what their external privileged partners are likely working on (like Playground Games or Insomniac).
2) This one concerns more Sony and MS than Nin who chose (not without cause) to do an early reset and to abandon their current gen platform early: We are now past the mid gen point, and likely 2 years or less away from the big gen 9 reveal (at least for Sony).
E3 2018 will be all about the few titles to release while overlapping the new reveal/ launch period (Imo TLOU part 2, Death Stranding and Sucker Punch new IP), because E3 2019 will be all about the "PS5".
So this year is kinda the equivalent of 2011 in terms of E3. Except that the equivalent hardware reveal (Vita and PS 3D screen in 2011) was last year, so it's imo all going to be about Software to release between the end of the year, and mid 2019.
It means that whatever it is, it has to be well underway to make it within the next 18 months (save possibly for the three titles above, which have a window of 6 more months imo).
If you don't like this year, next year will be even worse because it'll all be about titles coming within the coming 12 months then, and will be largely (though not exclusively) known.
Doesn't mean we can't have a few surprises though (there will be some), but dev cycles are what they are, and WWS is mid to late gen heavy usually.

Announcing new hardware doesn't mean shit if there aren't any good games. Look at PSP Go, that didn't help Sony win anything. New hardware for old systems is pretty dull which is why Sony didn't waste time at E3 last year talking about it. MS at this point would need to announce as many games in one E3 as they have 2014-2016 combined to match Sony.

I think it's pertinent to the conversation that Sony has more press conferences than the competition. It'll be a year since Microsoft took to the stage, and just six months for Sony which does make a difference.
Nevertheless, I think the scepticism surrounding Sony's show this year sets them up perfectly. I actively encourage everyone to continue lowering their expectations -- it's just going to be a re-tread.

Well the good thing about Destiny is that it has an event dedicated to it next week so that potentially means it won't be a big demo @ E3. At most I expect a story trailer and maybe a first look at the first DLC.
Call of Duty is probably getting a singleplayer demo and multiplayer trailer w/ beta date.

Red Dead will be on stage with Sony they have the marketing.
If it goes like this then it would be perfect as far as I'm concerned.
1. Start with Ape Escape 4 reveal.
2. Activision partnership stuff because that's definitely going to take time.
3. Partnership with Namco to bring Klonoa and Ridge Racer back.
4. VR stuff because it's definitely going to happen.
5. Twisted Metal remastered on PS4.
6. Dead or Alive 6 gameplay.
7. Ninja Gaiden 4 teaser.
8. Sizzler real featuring TLOU2, Spiderman, Days Gone and Detroit.
9. Sucker Punch new IP in game trailer.
10. End with Devil May Cry 5 gameplay demonstration.
My heart ♥

I swear there is people saying that media silence and lack of leaks are allarming, and that Sony not having anything new to announce is a given and they're fucked.
Next one is "why are they releasing trailers a few days before E3? stupid move they should save material for their conference".

They won't announce zero games lol
Sucker Punch is a lock. Probably another FROM colab. Honestly those 2 along with everything we know would be a killer conference. Don't see anything MS announcing matching that, Nintendo maybe could if they announce a new Metroid
so true lol
Obviously they wouldn't. There are people in here saying how they could announce nothing and still "steal the show". I was disputing that.
That's PSX.

Well, if MS doesn't announce anything exciting and Nintendo doesn't announce a new Metroid then Sony would steal the show for me without announcing anything new. I do agree that announcing nothing would be a bad look but luckily there's no way that's the case
