No need to mention Xbox at all.

You literally called me a fanboy out of nowhere? I don't deny what I like, I have a huge affinity for Playstation but own basically everything. You brought it up by your dumb response not me. I responded to someone to the effect about how Playstation does more focused showings now as apposed to what the rest of the industry including Microsoft do. And going by how Gamescom went, and how this summer went I think in terms of hype Sony and Nintendo seem to know what their audience wants out of these showings.

You directly mentioned Xbox for no reason mate, now grow up.

Sony are still being really, really cagey. No PSVR2 stuff is a big omission because we all know its coming and is going to be a significant area of focus in the years to come.

They'll probably have another showcase this fall or early next year to cover this stuff too.

Notice this time there is no damage control regarding GoW, GT7 and Horizon not being included in the event. And that they didn't call it State of Play, so it may feature some extra juice.

Predictions:
  • Horizon Forbidden West Story Trailer
  • God of War Trailer (either in-engine or gameplay)
  • TLOU Remake
  • Twisted Metal
  • Firewalk's IP
  • Forspoken Gameplay
  • Death Stranding (Kojima's trailer)
  • Guerrilla's second game reveal
  • Santa Monica second game announcement teaser
  • Spider-Man 2 announcement? (too soon but can't rule it out because of the upcoming holiday season)
It was a good idea to kill Twisted Metal and for me it can continue buried. Regarding Firewalk and SSM 2nd game I think it may be too early for them.

I agree the other ones, with Spider-Man 2 for a late 2022 release.

TLOU remake I think will be included in a potential TLOU2 Director's Cut (the PS5 version of the game) similar to how the Spider-Man remaster was included in Morales PS5. According to Schreirer the TLOU1 remake was created with the idea of bundling it with TLOU2 PS5 and makes sense.

I think they may also show the release date for Uncharted 4 PC port and may announce the TLOU2 multiplayer game since I expect it to release in less than a year because they have been working on it for a while, and they may release it as standalone but also bundled in TLOU2DC.

Capcom has an unannounced AAA new IP scheduled a year ago to be released in 2022. They may also show something else from Square, like FFXVI or Dragon Quest XII. And some indie games like Kena or Little Devil Inside.

If it doesnt Hasan basically committed career suicide, but I would have to believe that the delay we heard about for August for this Event was the main reason.
He never said the delay was for this event, it was some random fake rumor. He's only a rookie newbie who had some normal issues so he needed more time.

Right on time, they had their event on September 16th last year.
Their last events were this summer: one for Horizon and other for 3rd parties.

Final Predictions

- Show starter, gameplay showcasing what looks like Demons Souls remake but new location and a new armour and weapon. Once the gameplay has ended title card "Demons Souls: The Sixth Archstone" Bluepoint game director reveals they been working on not just a remake but new standalone DLC for Demons Souls partnering with From Software. They also announced they have been acquired by Sony and are part of PlayStation studuos. To celebrate the upcoming new Demons Souls DLC which is due next year they announce "Bloodborne 4K60 patch releasing next week"
- Avengers: Spiderman DLC Trailer
- Call of Duty Vanguard Multiplayer Trailer exclusive skins for PlayStation owners
- Gran Turismo 7 New Trailer
- Returnal New content
- Final Fantasy 16 Trailer
- GTAV E+E and GTA Trilogy announced
- Arrowhead Games New IP exclusive to PS5
- Forspoken New Trailer with release date
- Ratchet & Clank DLC NG+ Arenas
- Dragons Dogma 2 Announced
- God of War 2 Gameplay Demo
- Show ender, we get a wrap up of the conference with the presenter stating they have one more surprise, we will be shown a teaser no gameplay of either Spiderman 2, Barlogs new game, Guerilla Games 2nd. After the teaser has finished we get a closing commentary by the presenter stating this game is a PS5 only game and will show off what can only be done on next generation console and are looking forward to show more in the future.

No shows and my reason why
- Last of Us 2 Directors Cut, I feel Sony will wait until Ghosts and Death Stranding are out the foot before announcing another remaster
- Last of Us Remake, I feel they want to time this announcement with the TV show for marketing synergy
- Deathloop we seen too much of this
- Kena, Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima DC, we already have trailers for these and they are near release
- Last of Us Factions, this has potential to be on the show as well but I feel like they will save this surprise for another time maybe bundle it with Last of Us 2 Remastered announcement, it would make a decent Game Awards announcement.

Sounds too good to be true.

You are just not going to get second next gen games from these studios when they are struggling to get last gen games on time.

Firewalk's new IP is probably 3-4 years away. Spiderman will probably be at E3 next year at best. It's likely a 2023 title.

My predictions:

a grand orchestra conducted by bear Mcreary plays as jim ryan walks out to an empty black void. Behind him you can see the sillouettes of ps mascots like aloy, spiderman, a bloodborne hunter, ratchet, ect.

jim talks about how its been a rough year for everyone, but the team is excited to show us what they've been working on.

jim then proceeds to unbuckle his belt, the orchestra swells as he reveals himself. He stares into the camera, winks, and says “well, what do you think”. Out of the head of his penis climbs ken kutaragi, he was jim ryan in disguise this whole time. It turns out, playstation never existed to begin with, it was just a construct of our minds.

What if when he unbuckles his pants mascots start popping out? Or what if from the void comes shue holding a arrow that points to SIlent hill logo on the screen behind them?

So hyped for Little Devil Inside.

I think we may see TLOU Remake because it will be a fucking graphical showcase and a half. Would be the perfect time to show what the PS5 (and PlayStation Studios) can do when the Holiday season is just around the corner.

Only 40 min is very disappointing imo. Sony has been silent and delaying games now for so long while MS has been open and communicating. They will have to surprise drop a AAA game next week for the wait to have been validated.
After the 40 min events the stream will continue with devs showing their games, so will be pretty likely 40 minutes packed with trailers.

Their last events were this summer: one for Horizon and other for 3rd parties.
Those were State of Plays though, I guess it depends on what can be considered an ”event”.

Last year the first big one was called ”The Future of Gaming Show”.
The second was called ”Playstation 5 Showcase” and this one is called
”Playstation Showcase”.

Bluepoint aint working on a Japan studio remake. After Shadow under performed I doubt they would green light that, and if they did, its not their main project for sure.
Their next project after Shadow was a Japan Studio game: Demon's Souls. And who said Shadow underperformed?

I know that there is the rumour about a new Sony studio and the producer of Bandai has left to an unknown company, it would be interesting if its a studio that makes fighting games.
Arc System Works maybe?
