I think you've nailed it Runa! Sony has not done big conferences or reveals in a really long time.

Also why do the big Forbidden West reveal in a state of play when it could have been held a little longer for this event (although its likely the delay only occurred after).

I honestly cant remember the last time I was excited for one of these events...or satisfied after.

Because SoP's have become the new format for single game demonstrations, or for smaller updates throughout the year.

Horizon also had pre-order info go out before this event, so the gameplay demonstration would have been timed because of that and not for this event. 

We know the show is going to focus on this holiday season and beyond, so updates are naturally par for the course. But I don't think it's strange to be hyped for this event, especially when some Sony personnel are. The support team in Malaysia, for instance, is very pumped to have something they've helped on be shown. Could be GoW, could be Factions, could be something else.

Not strange at all....Sony events tend to garner hype no matter what. I just think given some expectations that we see online on forums and youtube etc. its bound to disappoint. 

Personally though I'd love to see a major event from Sony with big game reveals, and some sort of strategy with regards to PS+, PSNow and PS5 system updates. It feels like for the last 2 years or so and pretty much since Sony left E3 - information has been coming in drips and drabs creating more questions and confusion than anything else really.
