This should be a very packed 40 minutes with all the expected footage

 

[AV]

40 mins though?

Because it's not gonna be a big game event. They just need to tell people the price and date, show off some features/UI, and detail which games will be available at launch. They can drag all that out for 40 minutes, no sweat, it's Sony.

I'd be shocked if there's even one big game announcement.

There HAS to be at least one big game announcement..

 

[Elog]

Last event was 42min with 16 games...just saying.

Edit: 1h 9min is the right time (taking out the hardware reveal).

 

[mejin]

There HAS to be at least one big game announcement..

I expect 1 or 2 bombas at best...like FFXVI and GoW 2. It won't take much time and probably won't have a full gameplay like Morales, Demons Souls and Horizon could have.

If it was announced as a State of Play I would think no big announcement would come.

 

[AV]

There HAS to be at least one big game announcement..

Why does there? Whatever it could potentially be isn't coming out this year, is there any need to start hyping up 2021/2022 games when we've already had Horizon 2 teased? Blowing your load too early is a bad idea. That's how Sony ended up with the same handful of games several years in a row at E3.

There might be some games in a little showcase, but I imagine at 40 minutes, the bulk of this is going to be information on the system and people getting it.

 

[Ellery]

Well as per usual I have lots of hope and wishes but when it comes to Playstation it is usually Naughty Dog that comes to mind first.
They are the best studio in the gaming industry and all recent games (especially on PS4) have been amazing and with Neil Druckmann being in charge they elevated even further and are making games for a more mature and educated audience looking for depth beyond gameplay and they are the ones I trust most to deliver that again on the PS5.
A new IP would be nice, but I feel like it is too early for that. Then there is also the Uncharted Sully off spin rumor but no idea if I should believe that. (Would be cool though)

 

[Alebrije]

The time has come...

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Just give me Demon's Souls gameplay and Silent Chills teaser. Everything else is a bonus.

Spoiler

Info of new Tekken or Ridge Racer would murder me though.

That's all I expect.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Let’s go! All aboard the hype train!

 

[Klayzer]

Everybody calm down gif

Sony ALWAYS blows their loads early and it's ALWAYS worked. They've forever managed to show you the stuff that's coming out this year, along with stuff that's coming out 1 to 2 years down the road.

 

[THEAP99]

As some others indicted, I don't know but I have a funny feeling there's not gonna be many megatons. My dream about people becoming disappointed may come true.

 

[Silent Duck]

C'mon Superman 64 Remaster!

I wouldn't say it worked very well in 2013 when they announced Driveclub and The Order at the PS4 launch event, two games that suffered delays and came out to middling reviews and "okay" sales.

Everyone already knows God of War 2 is happening, there's no need to have a teaser where the voice actor says "boy" 2-3 years before the game's ready so that everyone is constantly asking about it. We've already seen Horizon 2 and Ratchet, save something new for "E3 2021" or whatever that actually ends up being.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Expect the worst and hope for the best.

Hopefully it's a great event.

It "would" have worked had those games scored low to mid 80s in Metacritic or more. But what I'm asking for (something big) is whatever game Sony will be releasing Holiday 2021. Rumor is it's Uncharted: Young Sully edition.

 

[turtlepowa]

They just have to show a God Of War 2 2023 logo and people get wet panties even though the whole world knows it's coming anyways.

Imagine if the event was just this followed by 38 minutes of B-Roll showing the PS5 render?

 

[Rolla]

Lol. Haven't seen that video in a long time. Total fea Biggie Smalls.

I found it on twitter and it litterally made me laugh out loud. I don't know who the girl is but that has to be the smoothest entrance I've ever seen ever.

The girl is one of the twins from the 90's r&b/hip hop group called Total. I think.

 

[Insane Metal]

Finally, nextgen stuff.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Just want Demons Souls, Returnal, Ratchet, Godfall and some FFXVI and Project Athia lovin'.

 

[Hostile_18]

PSVR 2? Absolutely no way. That's a year out at least.

We are like 8 weeks away and hardly no anything about backwards compatability either. That's just insane to me. I doubt it will show up much here either. Which tells you everything you need to know about how seriously Sony value improvements on old games. (I hope I'm wrong).

 

[DonF]

In for the surprises and prices. HYPED! Let's go!

 

[ZywyPL]

Price, release date, and maybe UI/OS features presentation, that's all I ask, the games will eventually show up, but they need to launch the console first.

 

[Zheph]

guys, any strong gifs made for this event ?

I saw one like this for the event two months ago :
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/3a/5c/ee3a5cede89e58819056af9ce89e862f.gif

Was just wondering if we have an upgrade for tomorrow or maybe something else

 

[gamerguywashere]

"General Cerny, the planes are taking too long and the troops could use a moral boost. Won't you speak to them?"

"...tell them, tomorrow...always, tomorrow..."

 

[REDRZA MWS]

If I don’t get some SOCOM PS5 news I swear I’ll just buy the all digital one day one anyway!

 

[SinDelta]

Spoiler: Some thoughts

Already revealed, might get more details and gameplay-
Horizon Forbidden West
Demon Souls
Spiderman
Ratchet and Clank
Resident Evil Village

Good chance of reveal based on franchise success and rumor
God of War 2 (5)
Final Fantasy 16

Unexpected but makes sense in hindsight reveal
Silent Hills
Persona 6
Playstation Allstars Battle Royale 2
Uncharted Spin Off
New Killzone
New Resistance Fall of Man
New Infamous

Hope-
Chrono Trigger full on remake
Skies of Arcadia remake
Gravity Rush 3
Dragon's Dogma 2 (Now that Devil May Cry 5 is done.)
Eldin Ring

 

[skneogaf]

I'm not interested in anything but God of war and actually seeing the size of the thing in comparison to anything like a person or the ps4 etc.

 

[sublimit]

 

[Salmon Snake]

Let's goooooooooooo!!!!!!

 

[hemo memo]

It’s 40 minutes not 40 hours. Tame your expectations people.

 

[VN1X]

If I don’t get some SOCOM PS5 news I swear I’ll just buy the all digital one day one anyway!

Crazy talk!

 

[Phoebe Buffay]

 

[mortal]

One day left and no leaks save for the FFXVI rumor. I'm impressed.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Whatever it is, it's obviously prerecorded. So it should start on time and be the length they say it is.

Hopefully. They are buggers for making you wait a few mins.

The last one started a few mins late

 

[Slings and Arrows]

If that's the case, is it worth staying up for?

 

[angrod14]

The should just release that biotch and stop the suspense-building PR game.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Can't wait to see more footage of GTA5 running on current generation.

But in all seriousness, if they show Spider-Man gameplay, I'll be a happy boy.

 

[AV]

If that's the case, is it worth staying up for?

You working earlies Gash?

I dunno, I'm raiding on WoW until 10:30 anyway so I'm just gonna watch it after.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

 

[gamerguywashere]

if they don't have much at launch, like not even ridge racer, i'm gonna wait for a reason to upgrade

tbh, a PS5pro is just a few years away, might as well wait for the turbo model after a few AAA games have already been released

...if they don't have anything to play at launch that is...

 

[Yoboman]

24 hours to go

 

[MiguelItUp]

Hope it's crammed with a whole lot of delicious.

 

[DragoonKain]

If they do anything with FFXVI I doubt it’s more than a 5 second teaser cinematic.

 

[JMZ555]

Two things i want...
Demon souls gameplay and date is launch
Last of us 2 Factions multiplayer trailer with date launching this year

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Kingdom hearts 3 and FFV13 got a bunch of people to buy a ps3 and they never even came out on that system
