Forums - Sony - Why PS4's E3 2015 Press Conference Will Likely Disappoint

I don't even care what Sony shows. As long as I get to see Persona 5 at E3 I'll be a happy man.

James Mielke apparently disagrees!

In case people wonder who that is, he worked at Q-Games as a Producer, plus he's held a bunch of different roles within the inustry, he's basically said Sony are going big on new exclusives at E3. Shinobi602 has said the same (very reliable insider), same goes for Verrendus on Neogaf.

Looking at the facts Sony has a lot of 1st party studios, many of which have been incubating projects for many years, particularly the likes of Guerrilla Games, who's new IP has been in development since 2010, SCE Bend's project will be nearly 4 years in the making soon, Media Molecule as well, plus a bunch of others have new IP and then there are the existing franchises that will likely make their return soon.

With Sony selling 3rd party without much effort I very much doubt their attention will be put into this, simply because they don't need to do that.
Even having marketing deals that doesn't mean Sony has to push those games with a lot of stage time at their conference, that's what you pay 3rd parties for. All that's really needed on that front is some short trailers or a montage of those games, maybe with some confirmation from the publisher involved on what's coming to PS4 first.

Shinobi602 has even stated that this talk about Sony's E3 being 3rd party padded has come from nowhere, just fear.
Sony's developers have a lot of games in the works, it's time to show them off!

This fits with Fergal Gara's recent comment on Sony not being concerned about their Fall line-up of exclusives, because they have new titles to announce that are coming out this year, plus they can show footage of games already announced and confirm specific release dates for those games at E3.

What would make the most logical sense as far as 3rd party is concerned is Sony perhaps having some new IPs as exclusives from major publishers.
Kaz Hirai has said about investing in exclusives for PS4 and he wants to solidify PS4's position in the market, which such things would definitely help with.
I only see that happening with some unique stuff that Sony can't necessarily make internally, because their studios are tied up with their own projects.


Overall I think that this E3 should be good for new games from all parties.
The best E3's are the ones where Platform Holders focus on their own, new titles and 3rd party deals with their own stuff.
Some multiplats will always blend into Sony, Microsoft or even Nintendo's event, but with the time being pretty precious at each conference and a lot of new stuff to deal with I doubt any of those events would be 3rd party heavy.

Milky has been the man since his EGM days.

Well in my case i can't get more disappointed than what i am ATM because bloodborne is the only exclusive that makes worth keeping the ps4 for now. Let's hope they show something big for later this year and we don't have to wait until uncharted 4 for the next exclusive GOTY...

Do you only play exclusives? If so, I feel bad for you... you are missing out on a lot of good games. If not, you get the better version of console multi platforms.

 

Regardless xb1 has nothing until halo, and Nintendo is Nintendo (particular fan base ).


I play multiplatforms on PC. 



As much of pessimist that I am Sony simply cant afford to let loose some big guns this E3. So they have to show a few exclusives or risk losing more momentum.

Honestly all I need to be happy with Sony's E3 is one new first party exclusive, some Japanese games and a Persona 5 release date. I don't expect too much so I rarely, if ever, get disappointed by these conferences.

Could be bad. Again could be good. They know they are slowly getting negative reaction from the community; which usually praise them.



bad or good, for me this will only depend if there is new RPG or Adventure/action game, for any company its like this :)

(and i don't understand ppl who expect 10 new amazing game with gamplay etc every years and  than crying because this was boring)



How can Sony's E3 be disappointing if we are expecting nothing...

I don't follow the logic.

2013 was such a flop that the company who put online multiplayer behind a paywall was declared the winner. That shows how messed up it is. You get to win E3 by virtue of not having an outright disastrous showing.


I would like to see your reaction when Nintendo puts a paywall for multiplayer for NX.

I don't mind if people write something that is based on their own opinion but most of the random editorials found on the internet is just made to provoke people and get more clicks.
