Forums - Sony - Could Sony show less at E3?

They could because they only need to show off 1 big AAA exclusive and announce another and they automatically beat them. They could hold things back for PSX.

They are more likely to do a last minute improv (a la their 2013 'used game' thing) than Nintendo is anyway. A live conference has that benefit.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Does anyone think its possible Sony could pare back what it was going to show at E3 due to the lack of compitetion from Microsoft? Make a last minute change and drop things that may have been a ways off?

Nope. If they have a underwhelming show, then we can say that were lucky that MS underdelivered. The ball is in their court, a stellar show + price cuts could make XBX be DOA 4 months before launch.

Even if the show were underwhelming, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.  Remember, Sega once won E3 during the time of the Dreamcast, and we all know what happaned with that.



Half of Sony show is going to be Battle Front, COD, RDR, Destiny and some other multiplats which all will look and play significantly better on Xbox scorpio. So half the show is guarantee to be a dud imo. With that said, I'm interested in days gone, death stranding and last of us 2.



Yes. It's completely normal for companies to throw away their strategy and plans they have been working on for months due to some thing some almost competitor did. Seriously?

/thread.

Sony should still want to make the best showing they can. I hope they don't announce stuff ridiculously far in the future though. Just wanna hear more about stuff we currently know exists.

If they show RDR they'll win the show without showing anything else... its that big a title.

MS showed Metro and AC and that Anthem.... so I think they'll beat MS in the multiplats. In terms of 1st/2nd party, MS showed what Forza, Crackdown and Sea of Thieves (the ones worth showing).... sony should show, Last of Us 2 (not convinced they'll show this), Spiderman, Dreams, Knack 2 (most wont care), Detroit, That zombie game, Uncharted, God of war... seriously they have so many to choose from.... 

The problem wasnt necessarily that MS showed multiplats, it was they didnt really show much else of quality to go along with it.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Their presentation has been locked a long time ago.

Long answer short, no.



I doubt they change it too much, but if they had say 3 or 4 "megatons" to drop just in case, I would assume your only going to see 1, maybe 2 of those now. Unless they are all releasing very shortly, then PS would have no choice. Might as well save up those extra big announcements for another games show later on, to spread out the great news over time, and also to have a few backup's in case XB has a few tricks up their sleeves before launch.
