How presumptuous of me.

He seems to hate Zelda and prompt was which would you choose if you had to pick.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Quite the opposite.

1. That E3 one was a massive power and strategic move. Sony showcases get more than 20-30 million views, and where is E3 now?
2. We have had full clarity of the lineup. Sony announced 11 first-party games during their initial showcases, and they have released 10 of those games. GOW Ragnarok is releasing in two months.
3. Now that they have completed that launch phase, they will hold another Showcase and announce and show the games for their mid-gen phase that will be released soon.

This is much better than announcing first-party games in advance and then not releasing those games for years.

1. Sony bailed from E3 in 2019. The two subsequent years, 2020 and 2021, were obviously outlier years as COVID prevented any physical presence or event to materialize and everyone was forced to hold digital showcases. Without that physical presence, it makes complete sense why some other publishers "skipped" E3. A digital showcase allows them to reveal their projects before or after the competition, though they all generally take place in the Summer.

2. GoW Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and SpiderMan 2 were announced in 2020, so that trows your point #3 about not showing games far in advance out the window.

3. Are you saying Sony should only have a big showcase every 2 or 3 years? I don't think fans have the patience for that type of schedule as is evident by threads like this one.

Just stop. I've seen the guy posting about being hype for God of War, I don't need to presume anything.

 

[Trogdor1123]

This is absolute best example I’ve seen of a first world problem. Get a grip man ffs.

Oh come on. Asking them to simply go to big conferences again is a bad thing? Get out of here

 

[OZ9000]

Soon, Only Not Yet.

 

[Crayon]

These shows usually have a few little highlights. And it's all info that's going to be known before new thing comes out anyhow. People get all antsy for them tho.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

We will get another indie showcase and we will like it.

 

[arkhamguy123]

I'm sorry I wasn't keeping tabs on this guy to be privy to this posters post history from last month.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

My guess is the showcase will be in late Oct. Just before GOW releases and right before the holiday shopping season begins.

 

[Strider Highwind]

Thats what I think as well. We're already seeing GoW Ragnarok ads and whatnot..Makes sense

I'd like to see some stuff with PSVR2 though.

 

[Shifty1897]

I really thought the announcement was coming today you guys. I'm dead inside.

 

[AV]

I'm sorry I wasn't keeping tabs on this guy to be privy to this posters post history from last month.

Apology accepted.

 

[kyliethicc]

play games

 

[N0S]

Jim is 2 slow and 2 furious

 

[Yoboman]

It's tomorrow

 

[Robb]

I’m expecting something this month, but who knows?

 

[TheGecko]

I dunno, I mean what's there to showcase? God of war maybe?

 

[A2una1]

Ragnorak is available on PS4. He didnt need to buy a $500 console to play it.

But he need to spend 700 bucks on a console, when he doesn't know what to play? Sounds somewhat irresponsible...

 

[M1chl]

Even as a green rat, they really don't have to do shit. MS would be also better off not having event this year, it was really fucking bad.

Hey boys and girls, after one year, there is still nothing interesting coming.

Man, what a...what a strategy

 

[The Cockatrice]

What a shit year for gaming. I've done nothing but replay more than to play good stuff. We got like what ER, HFW and God of War soon. That is it. Callisto most likely getting delayed so whatever on that.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Jokes aside it's long overdue, could happen any day now. Overall it's been a great year for PlayStation fans though, can't really complain, Sony just needs to give the faithful something big to celebrate, I've felt that missing in 2022.

 

[H . R . 2]

oh..oh ...The Snitch has an Abandoned banner on his Twitter account


could be this though:

[bitbydeath]

When Sony dropped out of E3 and most other industry gaming events a few years ago, a lot of the PlayStation faithful here saw it as a power move, a statement to the rest of the big publishers that "Our games don't need to share a stage with anyone else". Now, all that's come from this decision is that PlayStation owners are more often than not left scratching their heads trying to figure out what the actual roadmap for Sony first-party development is, and some very lackluster digital/streamed showcases. What a massive backfire.

Sony had a show in June though, and the consensus was that it was the best one held that month.

 

[daninthemix]

Right?! I want to hear about all the upcoming PC ports. Come on Sony, give us a date!

 

[RoboFu]

Jim’s too busy playing Spider-Man on his pc.

 

[SenkiDala]

Pretty sure he has no clue of how to hold a controller in his hands, and he doesn't give a fuck.

 

[Unknown?]

Yeah and PC gamers don't need to spend $600 on a 3080 but they did. Could have stayed with a 1050.

There's a reason people upgrade you know?

 

[Torrent of Pork]

What kind of dystopian nightmare have you unleased onto my imagination?

 

[kyussman]

A guy I bumped into in the street told me they should certainly be doing something in the next six months,but as he was walking away I noticed he was wearing slippers so I'm not so sure now.

 

[tmlDan]

I dunno, I mean what's there to showcase? God of war maybe?

oh, i dunno, ANY game coming out in the future past GoW? lol

 

[Pejo]

It's a patent that Sony filed like 10+ years ago, one of many that shows ways to interact with advertisements to make them more money. AFAIK nothing has ever been done with them.

The future of commercials is pickle-icious.

[Punished Miku]

It's going to be a new micro-event so that it's easily sharable on Tik-Tok. Rumor is that we're going to get 3 new 10 second clips of God of War.

you joke, but this could be the future with how ADD the younger generation is lol

Yeah I kind of scared myself with that joke lol. It honestly is a decent idea.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Salz01]

Part of me thinks there won’t be one. Just so Spencer doesn’t have ammo about Sony having exclusive games etc before the merger.

 

[DonF]

When they’ve successfully worked out a way they can charge you to watch it.

Sony hasn't heard of pay per view‽

 

[Shizumapower]

Delayed until 'targeting first quarter 2023'

 

[Shizumapower]

[sojuwarrior]

Showcase will be after GOW release to avoid stealing it's thunder. I think that's always Sony's strategy?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Are you ready boyz? The show is about to begin.

Consensus according to PlayStation fanboys?

No. Consensus between Xbox fanboys.

 

[Valedix]

Some day after today.

 

[balls of snow]

Hopefully after my vacation.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I'm starting to think that Sony isn't going to do a whole lot to draw attention to themselves until after the results of the Activision acquisition.

 

[Sanepar]

There will be no showcase but u guys can keep dreaming. Wait for the next sop and chill. That is it.

 

[gametimedecision]

To me this is why cancelling E3 shows was simply unacceptable. It allowed Sony to skip shows where they were EXPECTED to show up every year. A show that is essentially designed convince PS5 owners who invested $500 in their eco system to stay in the eco system. It's almost like a shareholder investor call. They are required to show up to justify your investment you made for the next 6-7 years. They are no longer doing that.

And when they do, they jerk us around month after month instead of simply setting an exact date and time so we arent sitting here holding our dicks wondering just when the fuck they will tell us what first party next gen games are coming in 2023 and beyond. Right now, its literally just two. Spiderman and Wolverine and we havent seen any gameplay for them.

It so wild too because when Sony announced they weren’t doing E3 anymore some fans legit rejoiced and started anti E3 campaigns left and right….it’s like, this so clearly was not a positive for consumers lol

but the anti E3 crowd seems to have gotten what they wanted tho, it’s sooooo much better/s

 

[anothertech]

Weeks not months

 

[DenchDeckard]

Where has any of sonys messaging been in the last 3 years really?

In the toilet, that's where....I hope we get something this month.
