I watch for that 1 game that looks super cool to me and the 2-3 games that yeah I will try those
The remainder 75% is usually really bad for me and its not just SOP as the last few years its been almost every show from Xbox and Sony both
This is a disclaimer its just this authors personal opinion and is not telling anyone here how they should feel before feelings get hurt

That's how most shows are for these things since 2005. There's no way someone likes 80% of everything shown.......unless you play all games released.

They've acknowledged its existence before. That's what I mean. It's a known unknown.

Yeah, that's all I hope for - one decent looking game. And there are far worse ways to spend 40 minutes.

It's the same thing every time, over hype what will be announced and then the show ends up being a disappointment.
I am going in with zero expectations….

Dont let us down, Sony. It's the last showcase release year (25/26) before all the conversation turns to PS6 and people hold off.
I certainly could use a great showcase that creates anticipation and discussion around some new titles

They really have not.
For instance, Guerrilla has openly talked about how they have a multiplayer Horizon game in the works; but in the case of Cory Barlog at Santa Monica Studio, literally nothing has been said by or about him on the record -- although we all can make the logical assumption that he must have been working on something for the past seven years.

If he was being interviewed by anyone else I think it would be different, but this is ps.blog, so it's essentially SIE marketing department letting all the viewers know, "Hey the Corey game is on the way".

These guys get it. Shutting down E3 was horrible for this industry.
E3 was responsible for:
(1) Mainstream media attention on gaming.
(2) All major console manufacturers, publishers, and developers bringing their A game because they knew they had to fight for space and attention. There was no space for lazy shit.
(3) It was convenient to watch because it was all over the course of five days, instead of all these streams over the course of like 3 months that you need a fucking spreadsheet to keep track of.
(4) The memes. My god, the memes.

Why should they counter the switch 2? Sony and Nintendo multiple times said they are not considering each other as competitor and they also don't need to, since one is a powerful home console, the other one more intended for portable play.
I miss E3 especially the booths, model girls, cosplayers, demo and extravagant announcements and surprises.

Considering how expensive the Switch 2 and it's games are and, based on the cost of the PS5 Pro, how expensive the PS6 and it's games will be, they probably SHOULD start considering each other competitors, because they're going to be competing for people's entertainment budgets which are going to get slimmer because of these increased prices.

No one complained about it until Sony skipped it. Then everyone argued it was archaic and not needed. Journalists had some valid complaints about opening it to the public, but that doesn't affect viewers much.
To be fair, Nintendo switched to a Direct video, but they were on the E3 showfloor with one of the biggest spaces for years still at that point and 3 days of Treehouse coverage so they definitely weren't skipping it.

So you don't want anything new huh?? No wonder gaming is in the state it is.
"This generation is just remaster and remakes!"
But also "all I want is remasters and remakes!"

Am I totally misremembering things? Wasn't Nintendo the first console manufacturer to start skipping E3?

I laid it out. They switched their main event to an hour long video, but then immediately after had 3 days of showfloor coverage live which is more than anyone. Developer interviews, further reveals, live demos, all day long for 3 days for several years after Sony left.

Nintendo might start to feel like this, but Sony shouldn't. Most people who want to buy a Switch are interested at least sometimes in the portable aspect and that is just one thing the PlayStation 5 cannot give them.

So yeah, mark my words. Will be a super disappointing show, but a couple of hours later, nearly no one will speak about it anymore, because there are bigger news.

Ports, remasters, a remake and a patch? My god...
You'll get at least something from Ghost and Death Stranding...two actual new games.
They probably are, in a few weeks, who knows.

this put gaming into a perspective, a lot of pp ( me included ) would prefer to play the good old games remade then the modern slop that we get now.

This is -at least- 5th year in a row that they have a State of Play around a week or so away from their Business Segments Meetings, where they detail their plans and strategy to their investors for the FY that started a bit before.
Sometimes they announced some stuff there that later was going to appear in that meeting, either if it's the announcement of a first party game, 3rd party marketing deals, 3rd party exclusives of some kind or even some acquisition.
But in any case, that late May/early June State of Play/Showcase has been there every year because it's a tradition that goes back to the E3 days. Now they do spread game announcements across the year in different events or just posting them in internet a random day to avoid overshadowing, but back in the past there was the tradition of announcing most of the important stuff at E3.
But yes, even if they spread the announcements across the year it's fair to expect at least one first party reveal (as could be the GoW spinoff) and at least a handful important third party ones (as could be RE9 or FF Tactics) at their event. In addition to standard trailers of already known titles 1st and (with marketing deal) 3rd party titles, specially the ones to be released in the next 9-12 months or so.

Don't expect anything since most of Sony's SOP have sucked. I think they've had one good one since this gen has started. They are delivering in all the other ways I need them to so I don't care really.

I gotta say whatever Japanese VA they have during the trailer makes me want to play in Japanese, she delivers those lines so strongly I couldn't help but be sucked in.

The game takes place in Japan and characters are Japanese, of course I'm gonna play with Japanese voice.

I miss the old Sony E3 presentations, where they were showing smash after smash and hype was through the roof.
Nowadays it's just meh!... Very low expectations.

Be prepared.
I have a feeling this will be the greatest gaming presentation in history. Just a gut feeling.
Looking forward to see Bloodborne remake. Only a few hours to go.
Get hyped.
