I just posted this in the other Sony Gamescom thread, but worth posting here as well:

according to gametrailers:

The Sony event will be 3 hours. I'm not sure if that includes some pre and post show stuff from gametrailers or Sony themselves, but suffice to say, they apparently have plenty to talk about.

Hell yeah! So excited to be getting a next gen console this winter! My PS3 treated me well but it's time for an upgrade!

I hope we get a horror game, something from the Siren team maybe?

LOL at Ken Kutaragi in the background

I'm in tears!

There's gonna be a panel on the narrative in gaming hosted by Sony livestreamed by them. The conference will be between 1 hour and 1 and a half hours as indicated on the PS blog.

It's funny, he says the release date is soon and that there's nothing MS can do about it, but I believe they already have.

MS limiting the scope of their launch probably happened because a) they're having production problems and b) they learned that Sony is launching much earlier than expected, and now have to advance their own timetable.

he means purely in a "moving their launch date to be better or more attractive to consumers than PS4's date" way.

Imagine a sneak launch and consoles being delivered onto porches of people who are out of town :|



And who is that girl in the .gifs?

Must have totally missed that, do you have a link? I know they're having a panel, but I haven't seen anything that discusses the length of that panel or the main event.

That would be rough if that was the case. I'd be surprised MS would allow Sony to force their hand on something like release date unless there really would be a big gap otherwise. I'd love to read a book about all this someday. So many fascinating insiders and rumors.

 

[FZZ]

Sounds good, should be very interesting next week.

Also on a side note, Microsoft has CBOAT, Sony has Verendus, is the closest insider NeoGAF has for Nintendo Shikamaru Ninja?

Holy shit, I can't read.

 

[Acquiescence]

link?

I can't. She does webcam stuff, so even if I could find the video it'd probably be on some porno site, and I'd get banned for posting a link to a porn site obviously. Just google Katee Owen; she must be all over the net by now.

Well they said November at E3 - on the other hand one more thing to go back on wouldn't make much difference anyway...

 

[BleachAndPepsi]

the conference is held before the public event which is the 22nd

Okay, so the date reveal is the 20th, the conference is the 21st, and the public even is the 22nd?

Or am I making this way harder than it needs to be?

[Northeastmonk]

Just planning which Wal-Mart I'm picking up the PS4 from. This should be good.

 

[BigTnaples]

Fuck yes. Hope this launches in October. That would make my year.

 

[kvn]

I still hope for a surprise cool PS3 firmware update to keep interest for the the holiday season...

 

[thuway]

It's only one hour long . 2 Hours is the perfect legnth. It makes it go from a "convention" to a Super Bowl.

 

[Persona86]

Everyone, links are a very bad idea, just type Katee Owen in google images, no more questions needed.
Your welcome.

Now let's get back on topic.

 

[BRocknRolla]

How early are you planning on going? I've never camped out, so I'm curious to know how early you think you'd have to go. (I guess it would also depend on your geographic location.)

Katee Owen.
For future gif questions, you should get the google image search add on it's great.

 

[Acquiescence]

I laughed so hard at this.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Yeah, that's just Gametrailers inflation for you.

1 hour preshow predicting shit, then 1 hour postshow discussing shit.

 

[Mario007]

I'm on my phone now, but it was in the comments section on the Gamescon blog post this week. Someone asked if it'll be 1 hour or 90 minutes and Fred said that somewhere between the two figures.

 

[Jonboy]

This has been the best thread I have ever seen on this site. I am thinking an October date would be perfect to capitalize on the slew of games hitting around that time.

To think I had the pleasure of starting it. I'm so honored!

 

[BleachAndPepsi]

Only an hour? Ugh...makes it sound like they don't have much to show.

I'm sorry for artificially inflating the hype-air balloon.

Walmart

good luck

No worries guy, people were frothing at the mouth long before you posted that.

I may be wrong, but I very much doubt it's a 3 hour dealio. 90 minutes at longest.

 

[Ce-Lin]

October ??????

 

[BleachAndPepsi]

Walmart

good luck

At least it's not K-Mart.

I just hope it doesn't launch in September. Nothing can compete with the hype of a new iPhone launch. It has to be October. Late October preferably.

After getting the new Nexus 7, all I want to do is get rid of my iPhone and get an S4 or Note 2.

Stupid Sprint contract...

OT, but I'm psyched as fuck for the new iPhone. I've had the 4S for two years and I'm due for an upgrade and I'm loving the look of iOS7. And I've heard rumors of the 5S coming in gold, which would be mine so damn fast.

I'd get that and the PS4 in the same month, but yeah, I'm sure most wouldn't.

Once you get used to the Note 2, every phone looks tiny.

Well yeah, the thing is the size of a surfboard.

 

[Afrikan]

3 Hours? but i start work at 11:30

hopefully that's extra stuff and the presentation is an hour or something...but again, this is Sony.

3 hours would be insane. At some point people would start to glaze over. 1 1/2 sounds perfect.

Wasn't the PlayStation Meeting in February 3 hours? Or was it 2?

 

[Persona86]

I wonder if they will announce any secret launch window titles.

Looked it up on youtube and got a few minutes over 2.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I could see some smaller PSN titles get announced for launch to flesh out the PS4 PSN store. There's been a pool game announced already that's coming out at launch, I would think we'll see at least 3-4 more indie games hit the store on day one.

EDIT: Thuway says the actual Sony presentation is only 1 hour.

3 Hours?!!! Basically means 1 hour pre show and 2 hour actual show, as per last time.

Woo! Better ring my cousins. Looks like we need to make another night of it! Anyone know what day/time it is UK GMT?

 

[Mario007]

Guys it's not 3 hours, just stop or you'll just be disappointed.

 

[dc89]

Sorry guys wanting it in September and October, but I want it to come out in November. Sony pls, I couldn't afford it any sooner.

Going on holiday and stuff.

 

[dragonflys545]

3 hour... FUCK!!! That's the day I'm taking my Driver's license test

Delay the test by a month or come back home after then watch it...

1 Hour still awesome!

 

[nib95]

Dude, just buy it in November. Why you dumping on the rest of us?

 

[Persona86]

Nothing stops this train.

 

[dc89]

As if Sony will listen to me haha.

No, I'm cool with it coming out when ever. But I love the excitement of a console launch. I do have a feeling that it will actually come sooner than November.

Pick up thread will depress me.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I think they're unproportionally big.

I concur...Dunno what the fuss is all about...Gimme a volleyball player or gymnast any day '-)

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Lord in heaven. This the best thing to come out this thread.
