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

Just replay an old show and charge you the same price to watch it in 4k.

Your first mistake is linking to a tweet from a fake insider.

Showcase? Some of us are still fucking waiting for Uncharted on PC… where’s that run off to?

 

[SlimySnake]

People complain about shit like games being made for investors only yet talk like this, what the heck
Stuff like this is exactly why I'm so against games getting more expensive and why I hate 60/70 dollar games and console prices jumping. When you spend so much money you start thinking of a simple entertainment medium like it's the goddamn stock market.

Ummm no. Its always Been like this since the day the first console without pre stored games was introduced. Consoles have literally been an investment that pays off not at launch but over the course of an entire gen.

 

[Rippa]

First off; WHY ARE WE YELLING?!

Sheesh, generation SENSI-ZOOM really needs to take a chill pill.

SONY will show when they feel the NEED to and not a second sooner. And definitely not because YOU say so. If you no like, BUH-BYE.

 

[GymWolf]

It looks like that tweet was not made from the ground up on a trustworthy source.

They're video games, not stocks. Only reason you call them investments is because theyve become so expensive. Is a plate an investment I make because later down the line I'm gonna put food on it? Dear god....

Every time someone asks, it gets pushed back a week.

 

[TheGodfather07]

im starting to think they are only going to do a god of war state of play for the rest of the year. there will be no showcase. sony just dont seem to give a shit about putting on shows anymore which is total opposite of how they were in the past.

Same old, same old.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I’m hearing from my sources that Sony will have a show by the end of the year, but if it moves it’s because plans change, so you should expect a show sometime in 2023 instead

Hope that helps

Heard the same but my source is my butthole and it only talks to me after drinking milkshakes

Hard to have a showcase when the closest AAA game (SpiderMan 2) you have to release after GOW Ragnarok doesn't come out until Holiday 2023 (if no delays happen). I don't think a 10-minute gameplay demo for a game releasing in less than 2 month warrants an entire show.

Do you have the release plan of Sony for 2023, can you maybe share it with us that are not in the know?

 

[Trogdor1123]

All of this bullshit could be done if everyone just did the big shows again. We would all know e3, gamescon, and tgs would have everything.

Pisses me off. We shouldn’t have to deal with this shit

When was the last time Sony revealed a AAA game for the first time and released it within 12 months?

 

[Negotiator101]

They usually announce it like a week before so it's still possible September is right.

2020 if you're not counting TLOU Remake

Gaffers getting excited for showcases they'll bitch and moan about once they actually get to see them

Typical day on the forum

Showcases which aren't even confirmed for that matter.

Just because man don't go screaming about his problems online, doesn't meant anything.
And even if he is perfectly happy, then what?
His opinion doesn't matter? He is supposed top break his leg and then talk to you?

 

[onesvenus]

You know how to count? Is the 8th. Ain't 8 yet.

I'll gladly ping you tomorrow

 

[Chronicle]

Would like to see whats in the works for us.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Sony hates getting people excited about their games now. Not sure if you got the memo

Too true. Yup give it less than a minute before 'BORING'. Pops up. Then another minute before some cries 'we want a dino-sister remake from like 1982 that sold 2 copies.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I'll gladly ping you tomorrow

Tomorrow I is the PlayStation showcase is currently scheduled for the 8Th. Is planed to to be show Ragnarok, silent Hills and abandoned update.

But things can change at any minute tho.

Nah, your post is. You are literally on a video game message board posting about someone else's problems which you've deemed unworthy of complaint. Who is worse? The guy with the first world problems or the guy whose only problem is getting tirggered by people with first world problems?

 

[Alebrije]

What the hell is joel doing in a movie?

Its "The crab of us" , a cult movie about crabs and some guys..its where all started...

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

That sounds like a first world problem

 

[SlimySnake]

More like a zero world problem.

Will probably get announced tomorrow/Friday for next week. There's no way it's tomorrow with less than a day's announcement.

[Elios83]

You should ask Roberto Serrano, Tidux, the guy from Xbox Era and their friends

Seriously they'll do it when they're ready.
Many studios are developing a lot of stuff.
At some point they'll have to introduce the 2023-2024 games like they did with the 2021-2022 games in 2020, even in the short term there are many unannounced PSVR2 games and that's a early 2023 launch.
It's just that they give very little notice these days so things are announced suddenly.

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.

How is it a "massive backfire" when E3 has not even been a thing the last two years?

agreed. now everyone has their own "showcases" that we have to be excited about. I have been Sony's fervent supporter but it's true they single-handedly killed E3

Everyone has moved on from E3 at this point.
Most publishers are making their own events, see EA, Ubisoft and more.
Publishers want to be able to decide when they're ready instead of paying millions to be forced to attend a show with a bunch of nothing just to say they're there.
So not only the decision didn't backfire looking at the views their shows get but they set the trend.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Physical E3 obviously has not been a thing because COVID happened, but a good amount of publishers still showcase their games and a future roadmap of content in June. Some others like EA have also skipped formal E3 showcases, but they still do their events in the summer months. By the way, E3 is coming back as a proper physical event next year.

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.

why did you put it in quotes as though sony actually said that? its pure nonsense. when sony did a showcase last year, it was mainly filled with 3rd party stuff with only 10 minutes of 1st party. sony did a state of play earlier this year for 3rd party content. stop making shit up.

 

[arkhamguy123]

He did buy it though, and he'll buy God of War for it. That's my point. These shows are cool and all, but at the end of the day, they have your money and they will take more of it whether the show comes out in September or 2023.

So presumptuous. GOW will sell well but I mean people can and will skip it. I'm skipping it, my buddy in real life is skipping it, this poster disappointed with next gen turn out may very well skip it. A lot of people on this board seem very unenthused and I'd wager a decent portion will skip it.

The general consensus around these parts is that the quoted parts is the reason why Sony did what they did regarding E3.

And Sony has had streamed events every year. I'll agree that Sony should give more advance notice for their events, but saying skipping E3 was a "massive backfire" is a bit much.
