The reason I ask is that I google it and couldn't find anything on it at all. The only thing that makes this believable to me is that the Days gone was a really weird point to end the show on. Sure it looks good, but a new ip from a studio no one's heard of seems really out of place to end a show on. Especially considering that they had a trailer for it near the beginning of the show. 
On the other side of that coin, it seems weird that that's the game they would cut out of all the games they showcased due to the Orlando shooting. Unless something REALLY screwed up happens in the reveal trailer. 

Well Bend is actually pretty well known as far as studios go.... they did the Syphon Filter games and UC: Golden Abyss

But to your point, apparently they are saying there was a bit where guys go into a saloon and shoot the place up....full of npc's, not enemies. I don't know if it was fact or speculation phrased badly. Will have to see. 

If the latter is remotely true, I'd 100% believe it. I mean, the opening comments on the shooting were very real, genuine emotions. It wasn't scripted (though obviously the guy rehearsed himself going by his repetition of phrases and such), and you could tell it was more than a sign of support - he was genuinely upset even days later. Which, I know, we all should be and I still am, but to see genuine emotions come from a public figure of any sort is something to note. 

 

Anyway, my point is I could see it getting pulled because the PS marketing team felt the poor taste and backlash would be huge, but more so because THEY would be offended by showing it, a key difference from just not wanting bad press.
