Uh, so Sony bears no responsibility for the games shown at its own conference?

'Cause I'm pretty sure people are expecting to see Playstation games at the Sony conference, not PC games. To suggest that Sony just does whatever a publisher tells them to do, even at their own conference, like some kind of obedient, well-trained hound...

... encapsulates the state of the console market quite effectively, actually. 


Sony probably approaches a developer or vice versa and they hit up an agreement that sony will dedicate a certain time slot at the conference for the developer. The developer decides what they want to show and that's it.

I'm sure its not that simple. Sony will probably go over what exactly they will show and how long it will take, and even what the developer would say. After all, they don't want the developer speaking badly about playstation or in favour of the competiiton. 


You're making the simple complicated. Sony will know if it's a trailer, gameplay or live demo. That obviouslyBbe discussed in time slot. But to think Sony can tell them what to show is ludicrous 

Or you are severly underestimating how much work goes into these things, its planned up untill the second and each individual game presentation needs to be approved multiple times.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I never said Sony would tell them what to say. I said Sony would go over exactly what they will show and tell them if they are not happy with something. I'm sure Microsoft would do the same. They would do that cause they don't want developers mentioning a competitor in a favourable way, or speaking badly about Playstation, which would be very embarrassing at the biggest gaming event of the year.

Didn't people make a huge deal last year at E3 when it was thought that MS was running their games on pc as well? But I guess when Sony does it, its no longer a big deal...

Welcome to Gamrconnect!  And Kotaku, and Neogaf and etc, etc, etc ...

The complaints were for games that were exclusive to X1 and no PC version was actually being released. No one cared that watch_dogs, COD, BF, etc. was PC version, not console version. It would be similar if Sony showed The Order, Uncharted 4, etc. on PC instead of PS4.


Fantastic point. I still think it's super deceptive. They should be up front about everything. But it's true that ms showing 1st party exclusive xb1 games on a bleeding edge PC was really scumbag material.

Sony confessed it was running on PC hardware which is more than could be said about Microsoft, how long did it take them or the keen eyed gamers to confess the XB1 was using PC's with Nvidia GTX graphics cards!

this by any means is not making it ok for one or any of the big 3 to use PC hardware to demo a game without the disclaimer they are using PC footage, it was a bad move but again they at least confessed straight away.



Current PC build:

I'm not saying it isn't planned to the second. But if you think Sony has any input in trailer compilation or what the demo consists of over 3rd parties then I don't know what to tell you.

I was expecting it. Still hyped for the PS4 version though.

Meh, Uncharted 4 was in engine on a PS4, so I don't really care.

At least Arkham Knight has a PC version and it was easy to guess that was the case. Can't say the same about Forza 5 or Ryse.

Rocksteady arives at E3...
Sony - did you bring the game
Rs - yes, but we only have it on PC...
Sony - go home then, we will fill your space with Justin biever new single

That would be much better for us all. Right?
