With the inaugural Playstation Experience completed, Skewed and Reviewed have posted an opinion piece which recaps the event and poises that Sony is attempting to hammer their sales momentum on Microsoft and maintain momentum to the E3 showcase.
Could a new PlayStation Experience event be on the way soon? Sony has regsistered a new trademark for "PSX."
I would like it if they did 4 quarterly big shows a year well 3 of the shows being state of plays while the last one being the psx conference. Still keep small state of plays to be an add for upcoming first party games like they have done.
I like them doing State of Plays on specific first party games and getting a deeper look at them. It would be nice to have a big conference at the end where people can play the games etc and Sony shows specific things like release dates and has tons of indie games available on the floor for exposure.
I agree. I think the State of Play format works better when it focuses on one title and gives us a nice deep dive on that title. This worked so well for TLOU2, GOT, R&C:ARA, and HFW.
Have PSX twice a year I say. One in January that focuses on titles we'll be playing in the coming year and one in July that focuses on the long term "road map" games we'll be playing the following year and beyond.
I like this idea.
I really wish they do a July event similar to one like Future of Gaming event of June last year.
Dang I was thinking a whole different thing from yall, was thinking more of a PAX like event or something. Went to the Playstation Experience in Vegas and it was such a blast. David Jaffe signed my PS Vita, got to interact directly with developers and provide feedback on their games (miss Killstrain), and got to chit chat with Scott Rohde like just hanging out after an event, and tons of small cool panels and other Playstation fans. Thats what I was thinking when i seen Playstation Experience.
I can see this maybe being something end of year? Maybe for the PSVR2? Dunno. Could (and hopefully) wrong. I just see them doing State of Plays for Horizon, and a few more. Maybe they'll try and do a PSX in December since COVID in some parts are dying down?
Thats honestly what im hoping deep dive into vr as well as tlou factions. And whats beyond god of war as far as playstation goes.
@knightedHollow
Dude they have 40,000 seat stadiums filled in baseball and there hasnt been this terrible rampant instance going on... I think we are alright...
If there's one of the way, then they need to bring it or set expectations low straight away if there's nothing groundbreaking planned.
After E3, they could use this well if they played their cards right.
I think 10 or so PS exclusives were announced at E3, also like the amuckspider said, Sony has previously stated 25 exclusives are in development, and afterwords, hulst said there more games in addition with second and third parties.
People ask for you the list, so please tell them. I wonder as well, what are those 10 PS exclusive ?
There might be 25 games in development but we either know what they are or they are a long way off from being shown. I've posted this studio analysis before but I think its important for some people to see. You can work out the majority of those 25 games are.
Team Asobi - Just released a game, at least 12-24 months away from announcing a new one
Polyphony - Have already announced GT7, will release in 2022.
Insomniac - One team working on SM2 which I'd have thought was a way off yet, other team just finished/supported R&C
Naughty Dog - We know they are working on TLOU remake and possibly a space game. The latter has been talked about for nearly 10 years and although exciting, there have been no rumours that this project is close yet.
Bend - We already know they are working on a new IP but is in early stages of development, at least two years away from reveal
SIE San Diego - Just released MLB The Show.. probably working on post-game support for that and next years game
SIE Santa Monica - We know they are working on God of War and won't be out until next year at earliest. At most, might be working with an indie teams as a support studio but history so far has suggested they only work on GOW titles for in-house developments
Sucker Punch - Only a year out from GoT release.. their next game will still be two years away at least
Pixelopus - One of the few unknowns - we know they are working on an Unreal 5 game in collaboration with Sony Animation although again it appears to be early-ish in development.
Guerrilla - We already know they are working on Forbidden West, release likely early next year. May have a "second team" but that's been said for five years now with no evidence of any such output. No rumours yet pointing to an imminent announcement but can't be ruled in or out at this stage.
London Studio - They have worked exclusively on support/shovelware for the last 15 years.. speculation on my part but they are probably working on generic PSVR sports/shovelware titles etc. Rumours of a AAA game in development have been around for years but I's still wager it would be a PSVR title anyway.
Media Molecule - It took them a whole generation to release DREAMS. I'm sure their next project will be quality but lets be realistic, it's years away.
-----
Housemarque and Bluepoint - just released games, if their next projects are PS Studios titles, they will also be some way away.

i don't agree what did E3 achieve? the weeks after and the months after E3, ps5 would still sell way more than XSX. E3 hype helps when you have games coming soon after not games which show CGI/In engine trailers a without any proper gameplay/release date
@neutralgamer1992
You better pray for Sony to show gameplay for those games or there'll be Hell to pay.
Microsoft presented more than 30 games and in-engine/CGI games for only 4 games. 3 out of 4 of those games were just announced like The Outer Worlds 2, Contraband and Redfall.
We shall see how Sony intents to counter all that with gameplay presentations. If they don't, It will be funny to see fanboys on mental gymnastics trying to spin and move the goal posts once again
Obscure_Observer
I have been a playstation gamer for a longtime and Sony knows what it's doing. Maybe you didn't notice Sony in the past 9-12 months have released
The last of us part 2
Ghost
Demon souls
Spiderman MM
Returnal
Ratchet and clank
Bugsnax
MLB the show
Death loop
Kena
Tokyo ghostwire
Horizon
God of war
GT
Have been announced so whatever you want to say facts are facts. It's amazing because if this was Ms they would have delayed ghost and TLOU2 to be released alongside next generation
So you can keep thinking whatever you want
PSVR2 blowout please! There's loads more I'd like to hear about too, but I need to know more about that, as it sounds awesome so far.
That would be huge if they revealed it this year. I'm looking forward to seeing how they've upgraded the experience and what killer, must have games they have up their sleeves. If the price is right (no pun intended) it will sell like hot cakes.
More gameplay for the games they revealed because don't you think seeing actual gameplay for starfield would be a huge moment? Don't get me wrong it was a good show so no hate on the show itself. Just wanted to see more gameplay from some of the games they revealed
You are right sit down Sony got nothing to show like high quality games that even the competition secretly say “it’s beyond anything available in consoles” better VR experiences,
Sony they’re in such a bad situation they had to delay their flagship title for a year 🤷🏿
@1Victor
Do you even read what people type, or do you just immediately read valid questions and immediately go in Sony defense mode? Sony releasing quality games won't shock the industry, as it has become the norm. PSVR2, it's expected, and Oculus is covering virtual reality as well. Or perhaps you don't understand what's being claimed when someone says shock the industry.
I think the next State of Play will most likely cover Forspoken which is their next big game after Horizon.
Insomniack next project (Spiderman 2)
Santa Monica Gow
GG second project
Bluepoint next remake
Gran Turismo
PSVR 2 launch date and price.
Nothing i am saying is any inside information. These are based on my research-rumors
sony has either acquired MGS/Silent hills IP's or have signed into a 10+ years contract to use both IP's as exclusives. Konami along with Initial sum will also get royalty from both games. Konami was open to selling both IP's for the right price but they still wanted permission to use these IP's in their pachinko machines
Bluepoint acquisition will be announced soon along with MGS remake(Sony's plans are to remake MGS as a whole and make few games with Boss as the main character and cover some of her back story. This will be done as a collaboration between sony/blue point and kojima (kojima will mostly help with story/back story while main development will be handled by BP who will have creative freedom to change/tweak story)
Silent hills has 2 games in development. One being the traditional SH experience(handled by a Japanese studio with help from sony) and the other being done by Kojima(could be episodic)
If these rumors are true I don't know what sony are waiting for. a simple PlayStation blog post confirming this would blow the internet. One very interesting thing about bluepoint games is the fact the studio is growing at a rate faster than most other
amuckspider
I just posted because from everything I have read/rumors/the so called leaks I posted. Could be 110% wrong. If Sony has acquired or signed a contract for either of those IP's they should at least amounts MGS because the announcement in itself would generate so much momentum
But to be honest Sony of late has done his own thing they really don't follow the industry trends so they could be waiting until those games are closer to be shown via gameplay. They have been very upfront with how many games they have in development
I would be nice to see something of TLOU Factions game. It must be ready to show by now and I feel like it's going to be a a huge multiplayer game for the whole generation.
Last summer they did a small online event for the PS5 so hopefully they'll be doing something this summer.
I’m not getting my hopes up. The trend of e3 was “coming in 2-3 years” and it wasn’t even exciting shit lol. It’s like none of them have anything to show and it’s disappointing this far into next gen.
Well Sony already commented on it years ago when people complained. They said ok you guys don't want to see games that will release years before. Like 3 - 5 years before release. They said ok we'll stop showing games so early then. Since then they've held back greatly. Doesn't mean they haven't been hard at work though.
It’s different with the console launch. Years ago I can understand the sentiment of “what have you done for me lately?”. Hey what am I playing this year?
That’s not what’s on my mind now, I know what’s coming then. I bought a PS5 six months ago, what’s the gameplan? I’m still trying to buy a series X, what’s the gameplan? They are all hard at work and have something to show they just aren’t showing it. I doubt it’s because of that backlash, it’s a different circumstance.
Can see an event on the ps5 launch anniversary
Probably start of with a montage of the first year games and their scores and then move onto sales and ps5 stats before going into some future games.
I hope
This will probably be the branding of big playstation conferences like last year's PS5 future of gaming that revealed the price of the PS5 and FFXVI. And state of plays will be the smaller shows scattered over the year.
I went to the PSX at the end of 2017 and it was amazing. It was a three day event and was so much fun. I played so many new games there, got so much merchandise and they literally threw a bunch of PS3 games at us when we were standing in line at a merch store.
At the Anaheim convention center? I was there too. Was so much fun. I went 2016 and 2017. Got to sit in on the Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU 2 panels. I had a great time both years.
Yeah at the Anaheim Convention Center, me and my buddy were there. A lot of people walked by us saying "Dilly, Dilly" because of our shirts. It was a great time.
Give me MGS1 remake, GoW 2 & FF16 gameplay, Silent Hill and a teaser for a new IP.
Going forward, i expect PSX to be their big E3 type showcase and the State of Plays for indies and extended gameplay demos for upcoming exclusives
What is it with you and Starfield? What if I went to every comment section and say "Fallout 76 tho"?
My point was, why is he coming to every comment section that has nothing to do with Starfield, saying "Starfield tho", like that's the only game that exist. No one even knows anything about it.
PSVR2 and Half-life: Alyx for it would be nice.. plus an optional mode of playing Half-life Alyx without PSVR2 as well.. and Half-life 3 while you're at it 😁
I think they should do something. Anything. It would be really good if we knew where we were going for the next few years. In trailer form and then more trailers about specific games that have been teased and rumoured for years and they just don't bloody talk about.
Gaminrealm: Sony is making history, becoming the first major presenter to back out of E3. As the hype rises for their next-generation hardware, it may be more beneficial for them to reveal it at their very own annual year-end event.
I don't think they'd skip E3 if they didn't have some big plans of their own, but we'll have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe after the recent announcement Microsoft will also show up to PlayStation experience 😂
I think it's better to reveal consoles on their own, but E3 would be a good place for it. Let's see if my mystery down voter finds me lol.
I prefer E3 to be focused on game announcements and demos than hardware blowouts. Seems like a bit of a waste to take time away from that when you can do hardware of your own accord.
I feel like Sony is partially not at E3 because they have PS5 games they're not ready to show and want to save it for another memorable conference. I would prefer them to announce PS5 proper at PSX this year with full specs, features, and teases for some cross-gen/launch titles and release it 3 months later in March 2020, like the Switch.
Yea that's how I feel about it; always thought console reveals should get their own showing since there is gonna be a lot to talk about and show.
Isn't it common knowledge that they're going to be unveiling this at the PS Experience?
Common assumption - nothings for sure though, they could do a standalone event.
I think it's smart to make these announcement on their own terms. Especially if the competition makes big announcements. They have a a chance to adjust and put themselves in a better market position.
I feel that their blogcast will bring some jaw dropping news about games we were all waiting for as well as definite news on a release date for the PS5 and a price point hopefully not what was already speculated
The current smart money is on a PSX announcement with a launch in Spring around the end of the current fiscal year, so March or April. That allows a hopefully strong start into the next fiscal year while giving time to work out any issues in the months leading up to the holiday season.
Sony does not have to reveal nothing, ps4 is still killing the competition. Let them do it when they are ready. Next gen always starts when sony says.
since they're not at E3, i'd say they'll do it at an event they've created - however they do it, i'd be very surprised if they didn't announce it this year and a launch in 2020.
Sony is playing us. They're edging us for the release of the PS5 on their own terms.
That's a terrible idea, they should unveil it at the Duncan Hines investor meeting
The PS5 will release in 2020.
They may choose to announce the PS5 officially with software showcases in Sept this year, which would put the machine at a 14 month launch... Presumably Nov 2020...
But given that announcing PS5 software when we don't even have release dates for Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding or The Last of Us 2. I'd reckon they'd likely be cross gen releases they'll use to bolster the line up and announce with the unveiling of the PS5 in Feb 2020. I feel they'll announce in 2020 to follow along with the PS Meeting they did for PS4's unveiling
Hardly .. the PS4 Pro was unveiled at PS Meeting 2016 in Sept that year... The PS4 was unveiled at PS Meeting 2013 in Feb that year...
With MS likely to unveil it's next set of Next Gen XBoxes at E3 this year, they could do a Sept unveiling like they did for PS4 Pro, that would be 14 months away from a Nov 2020 launch... Or... They could stay silent until Early 2020... Following what they did with PS4, and unveil the PS5 in Feb 2020, which would put them 9 months away from launching...
Especially since PSX hasn't been confirmed for 2019. The only thing we know is that a PS5 is in development, and Sony has chosen specific media events dedicated to hardware reveals instead trade shows frequented by the industry such as E3/Gamescom and TGS to do hardware reveals...
Sony will be at the Microsoft show at e3. This is the big thing they are planning. Psnow will be on Xbox and gamepass will be on PlayStation. This will also feed into the crossplay infrastructure for next gen.
PSX is totally where Sony will reveal PS5, E3 was too soon for an official reveal.
No actually, They cancelled PlayStation E3 Experience in June, but this Decembers PSX is a different story.
We have not officially heard what the Sony's plan is for that yet.
Nah they cancelled it officially. They said they don’t have enough to gather thousands of people and not deliver. I’m not saying there won’t be some other kind of show or ps5 announcement but it won’t be at e3 or psx.
In this week’s Power Up Podcast, Taylor is joined by Mike and Joel as they discuss the horrors that is Bowsette.
It's all because of the hate and criticism from last year (smh) ... I had no problem with it...
Who was expecting more reveals than we got?
For me it was like my time with it at PAX Prime. Smoother and a bit less linear.
Bloodborne looked even better then when we played last summer as did until Dawn.
The order, Bloodbourne and street fighter 5 announcement was fantastic.
I guess e3 will reveal even more titles especially ratchet and clank
No because Sony got hacked earlier today. Now Sony corp. is pooping
Nope, sure didn't
