Forums - Sony Discussion - Paris Games Week: Will Sony have a better first party showing than E3 2015?

 

Will Sony have a better first party showing at PGW than E3 2015?

YES! 17 26.15%
 
No. 21 32.31%
 
Maybe 24 36.92%
 
I dont care. 3 4.62%
 
Total:65

okay, read the bit about "first party" now.

dream media blowout is already known to be shown at PGW.
i think quantic dreams title has a good chance of being announced
i'd bet 1-3 downloadable titles are announced (on par with alienation from last year)
GT 7 if we're lucky.

that would be a good show to me.

Thats a bit silly isnt it? A conference exists as a whole in its impact. If we isolate only the first party stuff... E3 was the last guardian and Horizon, wich doesnt really attach to the reality of the event, just a slce. Aside a great looking Legend of Dragoon, nothing can match that anyways. I think my post holds. A RE7 exclusive like SFV would be second party cause Sony publishes, but its not a huge difference.


Because the person in question was not talking about the conference as a whole. He was stating that Sony's own offerings at PGW will be better than what they showed at E3.

Nothing more. And nothing less.

Contrary to the OP, this has nothing to do with the entire conference at all. Just what one publisher (Sony) is going to show from their own studios.

There is nothing silly about that information as it was stated. 

 


I dont know how you assume that Sony's offerings at PGW don't include everything that is at the press conference. Maybe they mean the stuff on the show floor? Then there isnt much megaton about that. This whole thing is sounding like 2nd hand misguided information.

i don't expect E3 levels of announcements but i expect a good show from sony.

Hope we can see more of Horizon and the new game from QD. Maybe SMS will be there as well.


PSX, they have hinted as much.Gotta keep some stuff for that event haha

yeah... scratch that... some surprise from 3rd party then... GT will be on PSX too because i just know it will support PS VR and that will be one of the major things to show on PSX.

I think any comparisons to E3 are setting people up for a letdown. You just cannot match the excitement people have for some of the titles that were announced at E3. So, it's probably best to let that go.

They can still have a very compelling show, they've still got unannounced titles (QD, and Bend) both of which were playable at E3 (they weren't present at E3, but Yoshida admitted they were in a playable form already, at E3). GT is still coming, and No Man's Sky still needs a release date. Haven't heard anything from WiLD in awhile, either. So, there's plenty for them to announce/show and create some new excitement for the brand. I just don't think expecting E3 levels of crazy is a good idea. There really aren't that many titles you can go back through history (that Sony has a chance at owning) that inspire those levels of hype.



My advise here is, don't expect something big, just expect something underwhelming, because when something good happening it will make you happy, but if something bad happen, you will not get too depressed

As I said TGS did have a bunch of AAA exclusives that were very important to the region, along with having a decent amount of appeal to the west, Gravity Rush 2 and Ni-Oh in particular.


This is true, but you mmust remember that this is because JPN devs are doubling down on the PS4. Its not a similar situation in EU. Im sure the show is going to be good. A far am I am concerned GC conferences for the last few years have been better than the E3 ones but I do have to disagree that the last few years have had lots of big exclusives from Sony. Even in the Year with Tearaway, Killzone and Puppeteer, only Killzone was a big game.

That said, I expect this year to be good with Paris. They had a stellar E3, and a stellar TGS. There is no way Sony stops that momentum with either PGW or PSX. Both are going to be equally awesome. 

On a side note, I hope Sony London shows off some stuff but I am somewhat doubting it. I think they really need to fix Singstar first because the shoddy release of the latest title on PS4 doesnt inspire confidence in the rest of the games the yare working on.

 

Actually it is, I mean Sony's biggest new IP is from an EU Studio (that's Horizon from Guerrilla Amsterdam), the big VR game is RIGS from Cambridge, Media Molecule have released Tearaway Unfolded already and Dreams is up next.

Supermassive Games are based in England, same goes for Evolution Studios, both Driveclub and Until Dawn were both made in the UK.

Sony London are Playstation's 2nd largest studio, they basically housed development for Playstation VR.

Europe is Sony's biggest market, in fact Europe is where the majority of Sony's sales in both hardware and software comes from.

North West are also based in the UK, their Sony's dedicated VR studio. There's also the team making Hardware: Rivals, I'm pretty sure they're based in or around London Studio.

 

Output has been larger from European studios for PS4 exclusives (games on releasing on PS4, nothing else) and we still haven't seen anything in the way of a true game from London Studio yet. European PS4 exclusives are more prevelant than Japanese or even American right now, that may change at PSX.

 

From Gamescom virtually every Gamescom has been packed with big announcements, Sony are on a roll with each of their conferences, so it's highly likely they'll stay the course with their next conference and any going forward.

 

As for London, they didn't keep over 300 people on their staff for years to make VR demos and Singstar, seriously they have more people than Guerrilla Games who have got their 2nd and 3rd AAA releases coming for PS4 by next year, London probably has a few big things in the works that didn't pan out on PS3, but were moved to PS4 because it was more capable hardware wise. Singstar barely needs an indie studio to make it. Those VR demos have largely been on rails stuff, it's not like making full games, RIGS I can understand needing like 50+ people.

What London has been making for Playstation VR has been awesome based on what demo users have said, that's the most recent stuff.

If GT7 supports VR then that is going to be crazy. A part of me doesnt want that. I want GT7 to be the best possible looking and playing game it can possibly be.

But added VR would definitely be fun.

from my understanding PS VR will not be a head mount display alone, it will feat. a processing unit of its own that will create the "middle" frames between the 60 the PS4 is delivering to the HDMI port to achieve that 120fps target. that magic stuff is outside of the console and game original code so i don't think PD will have to sacrifice anything for VR.

I don't think we will see anything that amazing. Probably some more gameplay trailers of already announced games.

...

 

really? 

Ok... there is a conference. it will include both 1st and 3rd party content. According to the guy off GAF who supposedly has insider info:

PGW > E3 in terms of Sony 1st party published IP only. He is not saying the entire showing of the conference is better. He is not saying that 3rd party games announcements are going to be better.

He is only saying that within the whole conference, in relation to 1st party content ONLY, PGW will be better than E3.

That is what he believes from the info he supposedly has.


...

really?

Do you notice how there is no source in the OP? I don't know why you are acting so high and mighty. I dont know exactly what the guy said, so you can't hold it against me. Just went off what the OP said. Wether he was acurate or not, is not really my say (though i assume of good faith that its accurate). Actually, you havent posted the source aswell.

I would like to know exactly what this "guy" said now.

Regardless, this sounds like a very pety debate. The question here is: What can be this megaton that is bigger than E3?



While these things are subjective, for me nothing will top Sony 2015 E3 for years to come.
