Sony always announce stuff in the run up to E3 and people really need to chill out over Sony's E3.

I think it was a separate team working on the project which was scrapped, and that team of over 200 was let go. So yeah, God Of War IV probably remained unaffected. A 2017 release is still possible as we do not know anything about God Of War IV other than that its in development.

Sony revealing a release date and using that to say wow they must have better stuff to show at E3 just comes across as wishful thinking.  Like I said the GoW 3 gameplay is so insignificant it would have never been at E3 anyway.  None of these give any indication of how Sony's E3 press conference is gonna be.

I think they will have a solid E3 press conference. I am expecting also at least three new IPs from their first party studios. But considering some tips made by Sony, they will announce another third party exclusive game.

They will dedicate 1:30 for CoD exclusive DLC.


Or just do like when launching against DC (ps2) go to stage, say 299,99 and leaves. 30s all solved for the year and no wasted time, go play at E3.

I like your logic, hope it's true.

They could quite reasonably dedicate 15 mins to GoW 3 remastered, but it wouldn't be the best usage of stage time from a PR perspective.

E3 was traditionally a trade show for the industry and press, nowadays it's very popular with end consumer so it's kinda hard to really nail the tone/type of show content for those giving the conferences.

Last year Sony actually showed a trailer for TLOU:R at their show, they could have easily done the same for GoW3 this year, Until Dawn release date could have also easily been put into the conference. I'm not saying that those trailers and announcements pre E3 mean that the conference is going to be super awesome, but I find it hard to believe that Sony didn't put these announcement out before E3 because they feel they have more important things to show at the keynote.

I just hope they don't spend a lot of time on tv nonsense or self boasting of sales. I just want to hear about games D:

If I remember right that was just a 1 minute annoucement trailer, they certainly didn't show long drawn out gameplay that would have taken up some time.  There's no way they are gonna put a long gameplay trailer for a re-re-release.

I guess there´ll be one max 2 surprises at E3. Sony still has tgs, psx (my guess is they´ll put more emphasis on this) and paris game week (europe/gamescom press conference replacement).
