don't get angry with me, i know that threads about "insiders" aren't very welcome, but i thought it was interresting to hear that insider "zoetis" (the one that said that the last guardian will be at e3), are saying that the paris games week will be better than e3, what for me sounds crazy because we know what stuff showed sony there...

I call BS.

How do you beat announceing  "Last Guardian" + "Shenmue 3" + "FF7R" ?

Not to mention all the other stuff... theres just no way.

Mainstream VS Hardcore

GT, Last of Us 2, GOW, and the new JRPG could do it.

Announcing the new Kojima productions could do it....

No.
I've been to PGW multiple times and...no. It's not even comparable to the Gamescom.


PGW =/= PGW official conference, you never saw an official conference to the PGW because it's a first time for a constructor.

And Gamescom wasnt as big as it is now few years ago too, it's bigger now because some publishers decided to make their conference there.


PGW is now big since sony decided to make a conference there, i can bet sony conference will be bigger than the conference of microsoft from gamescom ( and even from E3 ) in term of announcement


That's not what I mean. Sony has no point of doing or revealing big things at a such "little" event, the impact of these announcements would be much lower than at E3, Gamescom or PSX. They will most likely keep their annoucenement for PSX and only will show french games (like Quantic Dream's game) and indies at it. I don't think the PGW will ever be a big salon, they just picked it because the gamescom was too early this year. Next year they will be back at Gamescom.

You sure about that? The conference is on Halo 5's release date for a reason....

That's what Sony said : "With the changes this year of E3 taking place a week later and Gamescom taking place earlier, we feel that both PlayStation and the wider industry would benefit from a major news milestone later in the year, during the most important period for gaming,"

That's exactly what i meant, Gamesom is not bigger without announcements, it was as small as PGW before,  it is big since 2 years ago because big publishers decided to make big announcements there,  an event is only small because no one care but people will care about this event if something big is announced and it will become usual, like Gamescom.

And since PGW replace their Gamescom this year, it will be as big as their gamescom would have been.

They will likely show european games studio at PGW like they would have done at Gamescom + some new gameplays



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

Oh, okay, I didn't read correctly, my bad, I was thinking that you meant PGW will be as big as E3 because Sony will be there (which is clearly won't be the case), yeah I agree, we'll probably see some french games like Wild or the new Quantic Dream, a lot of indies and some fall 2015 games.
