Dedicating my time to what? I know you have been an active member on this site for qutie some time, why would it surprise you to see a somewhat long description on what I would expect to see at this year's e3? Are you implying that I should have better things to do? well yeah, I guess that could be said for every single one of us here. I don't see what your point is, you're going to have to be a little more direct with me, because I am not going to sit here and make assumptions.

The point is that you expect Sony to announce no new games, talk about non gaming stuff for at least a quarter of their show and that they are going to announce more remasters at their show, while otherwise focusing on multiplats.
Or to say it more clearly: You expect them to have a shitty show.

Yeah I don't really get how anyone can take this line of thinking seriously in regards to Sony's possibilities this year at E3, or even act like they can't have anything new to announce at the event and release this Fall.
I mean it's been outright stated by Level 5 that they have a brand new game to announce for PS4 (they haven't mentioned any other platforms, so it's assumed to be an exclusive), Level 5 have even stated themselves that they're going for something bigger than White Knight Chronicles.
Obviouslty Guerrilla Games are heavily rumored to be announcing their big new IP, which has been in development since Killzone 2 shipped (2009), the first time they mentioned a new IP was in 2010.
If Sony didn't have anything new then they wouldn't have announced the release dates for Tearaway Unfolded, Until Dawn, shown the initial gameplay reveal for Ratchet & Clank, locked down when Kill Strain will launch (Summer), along with showing a brand new build of the game through Twitch, Drawn to Death even had it's 1st Twitch stream with new gameplay shown and Characters announced.
We've been told that both Media Molecule and Quantic Dream have new IPs in development, both of those titles would be roughly 4 years into development by now.
Sony Bend has a new IP as well, that began development in either 2011 or 2012.
Guerrilla Games has 2 teams in Amsterdam, one of them is making Horizon, the other team shipped Killzone Shadow Fall in late 2013 and Guerrilla has been hiring staff for a while, most likely for Horizon's development, but some could be helping out on another new title.
Guerrilla Cambridge shipped Killzone Mercenary on Vita in late 2013, they've been linked to working on something for PS4, apparently a new game in an established Sony franchise.
Polyphony Digital has been working on GT7 alongside GT6 for quite some time, Kaz Yamauchi recently responded to the rumors that the game wouldn't arrive until 2017 by saying that GT7 would arrive much sooner than that.
The Last Guardian has been mentioned to be getting it's E3 re-reveal this year by numerous podcasts that are connected to actual developers, plus major news outlets have been told that it's definitely happening this year.
Santa Monica Studio shipped Starhawk and Playstation All Stars back in 2012, the developers within that studio may very well be working on new collaborations with smaller studios.
Cory Barlog already outed God of War as being in development at Santa Monica, he's been back at the studio since August 2013, so may have something to surprise people with, despite his jokes otherwise.
Sony London are known to be working on a new PS4 IP, plus Eight Days and The Getaway were never canceled in the end, only placed on hold on PS3, so they could both be PS4 titles now.
Agent was never canceled, another game in longterm limbo that could pop up at any time or be canceled, who knows.
Sony Japan are rumored to have a huge new IP in development, along the lines of a Final Fantasy type game, apparently it's been in the works for a while.
Besides that and The Last Guardian we also have the Knack and Puppeteer guys, who could be working on new games or helping to bring those titles to release sometime soon.
Gravity Rush 2 is rumored to be a PS4 game.
Even if you take out the major long shots (Agent, TLG, 8 Days and The Getaway) there's tonnes to get hyped for, pretty much all of it has been incubating long enough for Sony to basically throw darts at their corkboard of potentials and select a few major things to blow interested Playstation gamers and those on the fence about buying a current gen machine away.
Personally I think new Uncharted 4 gameplay, a reveal of GT7 (Fall 2015 release date), Level 5's game, Bend's and Horizon, with a possible God of War PS4 show ender or if Sony wanted to really blow people's socks off bring the old Catbird and Kid out on PS4, with a Fall release date would be a legendary event!
