Yeah, but God of War is too big to be miss on E3 , and Santa Monica studios names is really influential , if SONY want to win by miles on Holiday (NPD)  at least they just need to hype this before holiday , and also SONY has a lot project that involve 3rd party this year, so i bet there is so many games coming on 2016 that need to be announce on E3.

I think  PS Experience will more of gameplay then an early footage , and most of announcement is better to do on E3 rather on PS Experience, Because with E3 they can create hype for new user base and PS Experience for their loyal fan.


I totally agree here, I mean Cory Barlog went back to Sony Santa Monica in August 2013:

I think the new IP Santa Monica were making was being headed up by Stig Asmussen & Barlog was working on the new God of War. The title could be around 2 years in development at this point, with Barlog working externally from Sony until he came back in late 2013.

Personally I think we'll see at least an in-engine trailer for the new God of War.

 

E3 will likely be Sony's event for their biggest hype building projects and God of War is one of many that have been in the works for over 2 years at this point.

Having a God of War trailer to use as part of a reel of 2016 releases to show off at the end of E3 2015 would do nothing but build huge hype for the holidays. God of War has never taken 4 years to release, in fact it's a regular March release, with Ascension and 3 taking 3 years to come after the previous release, God of War 2 only took 2 years to come after God of War 1.

There's nothing about GOW's development that makes it seem like it's had any troubles and ideas for how the series can move forward have been circling around for a couple of years, that it could either be Norse or Egyptian.

I think a March 2016 release date is a given for the next game, a teaser of some kind, with a 2016 release window is the least we should pin our hopes on at E3, with a huge focus on gameplay at either Gamescom or PSX, where the official release date of March 2016 will be given.

 

This is just my too pence though.


There is no way God of War releases March 2016. No way.
