I disagree.

What people really don't want to see nowdays is Sony announcing another MP focused title, even less on an event that is not Playstation focused having potentialy multiple big new game reveals, and if they do that as the big announcement for such an event, I can see a lot of backslash with very little benefits.

People will mock it however good it may look (visual and gameplay wise) and bring Concord up immediatly.

What Sony needs to show in this kind of event is their next big singleplayer game, Horizon 3 would be a good pick, Horizon MP would not.

And to be honest, if it was up to me they would only reveal games on their own events anyway.

What "people on the internet who like Sony too much" don't want to see is more MP titles. But that is somewhat irrelevant considering they have like 4-5 MP titles in development, Helldivers 2 continues to exist, and TGA doesn't only cater to this specific crowd.

And after all, Elden Ring Nightreign was announced at TGA last year (also Helldivers 2 won best ongoing game). There is a lot of presedent to use this period to announce a high-budget MP title from a popular IP. As long as they have a good reveal, such as ELNR, there will be no issues.

I know TGA is the biggest stage and it would make a lot on sense to show Horizon there but my reasoning is Sony already has too much bad blood in that show and showing any service would create hate that the developers don't deserve, ND having to silence the comments in the reveal of Intergalactic was really unfair for them. 

I have a lot of hopes for the Horizon Multiplayer and it's in my wishlist for next year releases, that's why I want the reveal trailer in a SoP with people who actually care watching. The games that I think would be safe if they show in TGA are Cory's game, GOW, Tokon, Firesprite's game (because outsiders don't really know about them lol) and Media Molecule's game could be the potencial only service that would be safe. If those are the ones that would be safe I want them to focus in the game that is supposed to release next year lol. 

They are going to be gunning for a PC audience day 1. An SOP will be too small a crowd I feel. Sure, there'll be backlash, but that doesn't immediately translate into a game failing. 

I'm really just not sure Sony is willing to announce another AAA game a year after Intergalatic, which happens to have no release date in sight right now. There was Death Stranding in 2022 I believe, then Intergalactic in 2024. 2023 was the Valhalla DLC, and 2021 I don't think they announced anything new. 

Of course, I'd personally love to see FireSprite have their game revealed, especially if it's what I hope it will be. That would be nice. 

Hate doesn't translate to game failure but also being in TGA doesn't translate to success lol. The hate from people however actually affects the developers, that's why Cory deleted his twitter account and that's basically what I don't want. 

If Horizon is a survivor game like I hope it would make sense to target the pc audience because data shows survivors do really good on steam over almost all kind of games but I just don't see a situation where more eyes watching are going to help the initial reception to any reveal of a new service from Sony, for now. The only way the Horizon multiplayer (Marathon and Fairgames too) is going to be successful is if it's good and I have my hopes that it will be so it doesn't matter if it's revealed there or in a SoP. At least in a SoP you have the people interested in Horizon watching and that will be a good start for that game.  

I don't think they are going to announce a big game in TGA either, that already happened in September with Wolverine. That's why Tokon in my opinion is the best choice and ironically despite all I just wrote I do think Sony is waiting for the most eyes to show Tokon.
