wasn't the other one bloodborne? JRPG 1 (the game that melts the hardcore) while JRPG2 is the FF-like Game

Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly,but I recall JRPG 1/2 as being separate from Bloodborne.
Isn't it?
It's why I think the Sony E3 presser was great. I know PS4 has a great remaining 2016, but what Sony showed me at E3 were the reasons the next 2-3 years are still filled with some potentially amazing titles.

Updated current-gen announcement slate for Sony 2013 to YTD 2016. Only first-party games for console & PSVR.
Sounds right up SP's alley. Dystopian future, maybe?
Honestly... I would happy for a Spring release. Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, potentially the new God of War and Detroit. Next year's February and March would be the best two months (in a row) of my gaming life.
I don't think so. It sounds more... grounded, like Days Gone. I don't think it will be set in a dystopian future or have a Neo-Tokyo (Blade Runner, Batman Beyond, Akira) kind of setting. It sounds like a spy thing... maybe Rockstar sold the Agent IP to Sony and they (SIE) are changing its name to... "The Sentinel".
That or it will a spin-off series of an already existing franchise (Syphon Filter maybe?).

Yup. Pretty sure the From Software titles were separate.

No. They really haven't.
The infamous games would have been infintely better if they were melee focused instead of trying to shoe in run and gun TPS mechanics.
There is no clearer example of this than first light. Punching bad guys up as fetch is far far more fun than shooting anything. Likewise delsins chain is far more satisfying than his shooting.
If the melee was fleshed out so more, you never needed to draw for the sparkling bolts
Nice table. I'm curious what, if any, new first party game/DLC announcements there will be at TGS this year since Japan Studio seems to have their big games for the next while announced, with no potential DLC for the ones that will be released by that time. I guess we will just get more GR2, maybe a TLG trailer, Everybody's Golf release timing and the rest of the conference will be dominated by third party games. So it will probably be smaller for announcements than last year with more of a focus on updates on already announced games (which I'm fine with).Updated current-gen announcement slate for Sony 2013 to YTD 2016. Only first-party games for console & PSVR.
Yeah, I would rather Sucker Punch focus on melee. I always felt that inFamous would be better off lightening up on the TPS aspects. I mean, one TPS ability is fine but the rest of the abilities should be flashy as hell melee abilities, imo.
I wonder if the fact that Sony has so many big third party marketing partnership games releasing next fall (Sledgehammer CoD, Battlefront 2 and Destiny 2) affects the chances of them releasing a big fall exclusive since they will be busy marketing those three massive games. Obviously Sony won't rush a game to release in the fall, but this might make them more comfortable pushing GoW/Spider-Man/unannounced game since they will have their hands full with third party marketing. But hopefully Spidey is ready to go in the fall (if not earlier).
I'm expecting to see it at E3 2017 for a Q3/Q4 2018 release.

Okay, let's have a go:
December 2016: Gravity Rush 2
February 2017: Horizon: Zero Dawn, What Remains of Edith Finch
April 2017: The Tomorrow Children
Summer 2017: Dreams, Matterfall
Autumn 2017: Detroit, Spider-Man (I would not be surprised if this one slips into 2018 though)
March 2018: God of War
Summer 2018: Days Gone
Autumn 2018: Sucker Punch's next game
Winter 2018: Japan Studio's JRPG
I've probably missed some, and the two at the end are completely speculative.

No way is Tomorrow Children a 2017 title, it is a September 2016 title, it just finished Open Beta, the game is almost done, other than that solid predictions.

I would say both Days Gone and God of War will be dated sooner, but then pushed back to where you've put them
- but the dates are interchangeable for those two. I definitely think GoW will be dated for late 2017 and then get pushed.You should play First Light. God damn. The melee makes that game to me.

It's really punchy and she has a dropkick/flying kick that you earn up by doing the flashy quick melee hits. And then you can upgrade the kick to explode on impact and etc etc.
I was just playing the challenge rooms the other day and it's so effective and fun. It's the best melee in an Infamous game, and I'd say it's legitimately some great 3rd person melee combat.

The summary of my table highlights what we usually see annually from Sony.
Sony may announce some games too early in advance, but as we can tell from how their annual announcement slates are, there's always quite a bit of surprises. Maybe less so in the AAA space, but games like Wild, Matterfall or Tomorrow Children are stuff that never leaks.
Between sizable 3rd-party (Japanese) exclusives, a bunch of AA 1st-party games and a some (1-2 at max) AAA first-party stuff.
That being said, I don't expect to see a Sony-FROM game or SP game this year. That will be reserved for next E3.
I expect to see Sucker Punch's game at E3 2018, no sooner than that. Anyway, I got The Nathan Drake Collection in today as well, so I think there's just five more Sony games to go:
I think I only have these left to get of Sony games:
- Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
- Ratchet & Clank
- InFamous: Second Son (I have it digitally but want it physically)
- InFamous: First Light
- LittleBigPlanet 3
- SingStar Party
And that's it, right? I'm not counting third parties like Disgaea 5, Digimon, Xtreme 3 etc.

Unless they're making an open world game, this would be an impressive level of incompetence if true from SP.
So you expect them to show their next game 4+ years later to be done 5-6 years to release?Madridista said:

Oh, fair enough. I haven't really followed it but I know if has undergone tons of beta testing, and I just assumed it was still some way off from release.
Possibly:
Sucker Punch
PixelOpus
More from Japan Studio? (the mega-JRPG hopefully)
More from London Studio?
Something from North West Studio?
More externally-developed SSM/XDEV/Japan Studio games
Can't think of any other studios who haven't announced a game already - maybe I'll take a look back over the OP.
I'm biased as I've never liked the team but I agree with this. Also, if the game happens to be yet another inFamous, I'm going to have a honest laugh.
After this E3, it's very difficult to criticise Sony's first party line-up anymore. First couple of years for the PS4 weren't great but things have recently picked up and are now looking better than ever.
All I want now is for TLOU2 to come out before the end of 2018. Also starring Ellie please.

I'm most excited about Gran Turismo Sport, it looks really good and is online-community based which I like. Days Gone looks damn underwhelming but I believe and hope there's more to it. God of War looks great. But I'm not particularly excited about Gravity Rush 2 or Dreams for that matter.

Naughty Dog could show a glimpse of single player DLC for Uncharted 4 and tease The Last of Us 2.
Gameplay reveal of Matterfall and maybe Sony has a deal with Remedy.

I'm sure they have a few more surprises for at least one of the three conferences.
I hope Dragon Quest XI shows up at the TGS conference, proper trailer + JP release date would be awesome. Though it's probably more likely that they show it next/give its release details at a separate DQ focussed event (where they can also show off the 3DS version).

I am interested to see what Remedy develop next, as due to the amount of time they take developing games I can't imagine many third party publishers are clamouring to sign them. I would actually find it really awesome if they've partnered up with Take Two again and made Max Payne 4.
Y'know, I've always thought that the developers of Lords of the Fallen and Venetica (Deck 13) could make a really good game if they had a decent publisher and proper support behind them. I haven't played LotF yet, but by all accounts it's solid but not amazing. Heck, maybe Sony should hire Tomas Gop and Deck 13 again and get them to make an endearing Eurojank RPG!

Nice collection. You are missing some of the best work from Sony WWS. UC4, Infamous, and R&C are quality software.
Updated current-gen announcement slate for Sony 2013 to YTD 2016. Only first-party games for console & PSVR.
I dont think Statik is first party IP, Tarsier owns that
Too many big stuff in PSX if you take the last two as examples, plus no way we get dates for God Of War, Spider-Man, Days Gone and especially KH3 lol, some of these are 2018 games. Dont know about FFVIIR tho. Also, Days Gone had gameplay revealed last week at E3
Only date I see we getting at PSX is for Uncharted 4 DLC, which will be premiered there too. Crash Remasters/Remakes (still not clear) should be there as well, no dates tho. Plus some for smaller stuff as well
DQIX had a trailer in TGS 2008, so I don't see any reason why DQXI wouldn't have one this TGS. I recall that DQ events were only for announcing the new mainline games. Not sure though.

I'm pretty sure Spidey, FFVIIR and Days Gone are 2017 games. FFVIIR was cut into 2-4 different pieces of the OG game so it comes out this century. I suspect both GOW and KH3 are locked in for Q4 2017 to Q1 2018 for both. Both games have been in development for a long time.
There's not much huge stuff, most of it is repeated games with new demos but with release dates 6 months after the OG release. The big announcements would be remaster of Crash shown (not for me, don't give a shit unless it's the real reboot), and CvsM.

Way too ambitious for PSX. Shuhei and Scott Rohde both reiterated after last year's PSX that the conference isn't for major E3-type announcements. You'll get maybe one major showcase followed by a bunch of smaller titles and probably VR games. PSX is also the only conference where they actually talk about the Vita. My guess is their one big announcement at PSX this year will be the UC4 single-player DLC followed by a release date in early 2017.

Somebody needs to show up and tease something related to that final fantasy level jrpg. That's the one thing I want to see Sony first party do. I could only imagine if they did something similar to dragons dogma and sotc with it.
I think most of those games in that PSX prediction have a good chance of appearing but they won't be given release dates. Maybe they confirm a fall 2017 release window for Spider-Man or one of the other games though. FFVIIR will most likely be there but KH3 probably won't be shown until Jump Festa a few weeks later IMO.
I was unaware of that info, that makes it seem a lot more likely that it has a big presence there. Maybe they show a PS4 version trailer at the PS conference and a 3DS version trailer just gets uploaded online.
Do you want them to fail with their new IP? Making a new IP isnt something that easy. You have to taken into account how much time it would take to nail down the concept and mechanics of the game. Beside, they are not your typical 300 man devs so of couse it would take longer than normal. Heck, even GG tooks almost a year and half to nail down their vision for Horizon. You gotta give them time, unless you want a half baked, uninspired product.

New IP or not, it will be a failure if they take that long. Plenty of studios are making great looking games in a solid amount of time. Only time it's ok to take that long is if it's a new IP that's open world. The fact that they have already made a game on PS4 should push the dev time as well. I expect we see it on PSX at the latest, but I can see it at PGW if Sony has it in Paris again. Then we will get to see and hear that awful excuse of a crowd again.
That game needs to be Legend of Dragoon reboot. Then Sony will change their slogan to WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVELurkFish17 said:

SP's new game is very likely an open-world game anyway, since that is what is hinted in job descriptions, unless they're lying there to obfuscate the nature of their new game.
The point is, Sony havent talked about their triple A release dates on conferences in general, if Im not mistaken only first party IP game release date we got from PSX last year was Ratchet's (apart from stuff like Fat Princcess and Guns Up which released that day).
PSX is not really about the big games, its about minor stuff that relates to PS audience. Of course Uncharted has showed up there in the first two, which is why I think they will start the 2016 edition with the U4 DLC. Horizon gameplay is a good bet as well, because of the release date beeing ~3 months away from the show.
But who knows, we'll see

Based on what? They had the PSX conference last year and got lambasted for it. The first one was better. Plus they got SFV announced there. In regards to U4, I'm expecting them to release it in November and probably announce during the Europe Game Show.
Based on Sony Worldwide Studios president words:
https://twinfinite.net/2015/12/sony-explain-playstation-experience-lacked-game-announcements/
A big focus of PSX is the show floor as well, since is an event open to the public. The presser is just a part of it, the most important for most sure, but PSX keynote is not like an E3 one

The only big game announced at PSX 2014 was SFV. Other first party announcements were :
- Wattam
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Killstrain
- Drawn to Death
- Yakuza 5
- etc
Last year Sony had the following announcements :
- Ace Combat 7
- Ni no Kuni 2
- Yakuza 0
- MLB16
- Modern Zombie Taxi Company
- various VR stuff
In terms of overall quantity and quality, they are about the same.
