There are so many games they needed to make a new show to announce them.

 

[ThisWreckage]

But the megatons are for the people that didn't preorder it and make them go "DAYUM, why didn't I preorder? I better buy one asap".

Well, maybe, but I'm not convinced of that. Most people will not pick up a PS4 until it's at a mass market price. I think we have at least 100-150 dollars to go before that begins to happen. I think this program is more for the hardcore gamer and it is going to justify the purchase even more.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I know, I started it, and expected there to be an intro or something so I looked away for a second and missed everything. Wait, what? lol



Dat avatar tho....

While we are at it, can I get a Socom 2 remake and a Rollcage sequel. Thanks! Check is in the mail.

Playstation 1 nostalgia hit.

Bushido Blade. I'd even buy a move controller if they announced this shit!

might be the best event to restart TLG

 

[postal chaos]

At least this will help pass the time while I wait in line at GameStop.

 

[Elios83]

Great, huge event incoming, this sounds more and more like an other February-like conference.

I would be pleased with that.

we need some DemonNite teases, damnit!

 

[Pound_lb003]

Who's that?

Shahid's boss at Strategic Content

It's also you, Carl.

Follow this guy on Twitter and he'll greet you good morning each day. It's wonderful.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I'm sure this has been brought up, but out of curiousness, I checked my cable to see what the next GTTV episode was (due to anticipation of next week's event). It looks like tomorrow's episode is sort of their XB1 episode, as well as a Nintendo preview (I think Geoff tweeted something about this): Here is the info: "An exclusive look at the Xbox One launch titles Ryse: Son of Rome and Dead Rising 3. Also: a stop at Nintendo to preview Mario and Zelda Games." As of now it seems that XB1 is not getting a special like the PS4 is. Perhaps tomorrow's episode is the closest thing to it.

They keep saying they are waiting for the right time. Wouldn't this count? An exclusive launch event for your new console?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

John Koller (head of hardware marketing) is teasing major announcements at it too

So should be some exciting stuff, by the sound of it.

If I wasn't excited/expecting new big Sony reveals from this event, I am now. Multiple Sony employees publicly hyping up "major" game reveals at this event? It's on. I fully expect one AAA title, and maybe a few indies. I wonder what the big one will be?

Persona 5

 

[Callibretto]

Persona 5

it may not be Persona, but my bet is it's an rpg.

Sony got their fps, tps, open world game, racing game and their kid friendly action game. they're just missing some rpg and fighting game

 

[LiquidSolid]

The VGAs last year drew a .19 overnight rating. A 3am rerun of George Lopez on Nick at Night doubled the ratings of the VGA. Not that I think this PS4 launch is going to do any better but the idea that they need save reveals for VGA like that show matters at all is laughable. Nobody at sitting at home Friday night waiting for the Uncharted 4 trailer.

I wonder how much of a crossover there is between wrestling nerds and videogame nerds (outside of the hardcore internet ones of course). Impact's the highest rated show on Spike, so it as a lead-in might push it over the VGAs. Maybe not though, it doesn't really matter.

 

[Nightengale]

Megatons for an event of this timing serves many purposes, but if we're talking about a sales advantage with hardcore gamers, then there is one notable potential.

To get XB1 buyers to 'CANCELLING MY PREORDER.'

 

[I-hate-u]

I can totally see this happening:
Uncharted 4 announced, here is a teaser trailer, first gameplay trailer at the VGAs.

iirc Geoff announced the PS4 Launch special at the end of the Killzone episode they recently did. So maybe they'll announce the same for xbox on thursday night's episode.

This is for an American audience. An RPG seems very unlikely.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Yea... it's Spike. I highly doubt we're gonna get a JRPG or anything. It will probably be a third person shooter/character action game. I still hope they reserve the Uncharted 4 announcement for VGAs, since we already know it's coming. I'd be pretty bummed if the only big game announced at the launch event is Uncharted 4, and we just get a new trailer at VGAs with no additional game reveals.

 

[Creaking]

Unless it is...

FALLOUT 4

But but but, Bethesda unprecedented partnership with Sony!

Oh all right... VGAs it is...

 

[Hyunashi]

VGAs are gonna be potentially awesome this year.
But I see an UC4 trailer and then gameplay at VGAs.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Almost no one will be able to catch this live. If preorder numbers are true, people will be waiting in line until 3 a.m. the night of launch. People will be able to catch the VGAs live.

Maybe not in the US but the rest of the world will def be tuning in. I know I will... even though it'll be 4-5 in the am when I do. ¬_¬

*sighs* Unfortunate, but oh so true.

VGAs were great last year, they finally managed to almost create professional looking show. For the first time, the show was watchable.

 

[Skeff]

Almost no one will be able to catch this live. If preorder numbers are true, people will be waiting in line until 3 a.m. the night of launch. People will be able to catch the VGAs live.

Pretty sure it will be on tablets/smartphones in the launch queues. Hopefully some nice retailers may put it on the TV in the window for you

I think it would have been better if it had been on a couple of hours earlier, but maybe Spike couldn't do that.

 

[Some Nobody]

Most likely GameStop will be airing it on their big screens, so if you got yours from them you're probably good. In my case it's from Wal-Mart so I'm kinda boned, but I doubt I'll pick it up before my birthday anyways.

 

[gamerforever]

The Last Guardian and Uncharted 4/ The Last of Us 2 will do me.

 

[-Amon-]

I've seen so many crazy wishlists in this thread ... just go with a wipeout 2097 remake on disk, bundled with a negCon controller for ps4 sony plz.

Anyway, Shu's trolling away on Twitter:

Anyway, Shu's trolling away on Twitter:

Are you sure he's not just being honest?

 

[GeoramA]

Haha, classic Shu.

 

[Mr. RHC]

It's always a great joy to see Yoshida twitter snippets.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Are you sure he's not just being honest?

I'm 100% sure he's trolling. This is just what he says when people ask him about surprises. That DeAndre guys last reply is one of disappointment because he now thinks that they won't show anything during the show. So when they do it's actually a surprise to him.

 

[KennyLinder]

Are you sure he's not just being honest?

I agree. The only other hint is from SCEE:

2014 and beyond? Maybe a new announcement? Or could just be words.

 

[Uno Venova]

I hope this show is also going out to see what the lines are like.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Are you sure he's not just being honest?

I wasn't sure before but after teases from other Sony PS people which confirm what Geoff said, I think Shuhei's messing around with us.

 

[cebri.one]

Maybe they'll show Agent

[Tsundere]

It's only a surprise if you didn't expect it to come at some point. Could all just be a technicality.

 

[Suzzopher]

I agree. The only other hint is from SCEE:

Didn't John Koller also hint?

 

[Nightengale]

Yoshida is a master troll. If he purposely says 'no', that means there is something.

He said no for TGS and Gamescom too. That sly drummer.

 

[Saint of Killers]

It's only a surprise if you didn't expect it to come at some point. Could all just be a technicality.

That was my thinking too when I read Shuhei's first 'No' response yesterday.

 

[RulkezX]

I'm gonna hype regardless , but I suspect Yoshida is telling the truth , there is nothing to gain from saying ''No'' at this stage.

 

[salromano]

Are you sure he's not just being honest?

I don't think so. Geoff + other Sony execs seem to be teasing big announcements.

[KAL2006]

Okay now I'm expecting at least 2 major announcements. If I had to guess, Epics new IP and Santa Monica new IP.
