I really can't say why a showing of TLoU bothers you. Are you really dependant on hype?
Nah, I just think it's too early and would detract from game dev time too much to put something together. By the time TLOU II has gameplay demos, it'll still be a couple of years off and I feel it's better to show it then when we have a concrete idea about where the game is headed.
For me, the perfect Sony showing is how they revealed God of War and Horizon. Trailer into gameplay or just short intro into gameplay. The game is concrete and well into dev, so multiple showings don't bother me because I have a very clear idea about the actual game.
Something like TLOU II? I don't need to be reminded it exists or get hyped up by a new trailer. Sony has so many games to show, TLOU II could skip this E3 and this PSX and really blow socks off with a reveal next year.
It feels unnecessary to add excitement to the conference given the rest of their lineup.
