What Sony Can Do To Get You On Board at E3

E3 is closing in on us, as it gets closer and closer. We know we're in for a few surprises, but with Microsoft attempting to make a resurgence this generation, with the Xbox Scorpio. What can Sony do to try and make some moves to make the path of success harder for Microsoft. Poli Games host Poli Games, Joseph, talks about games seen at previous E3's like Days Gone, God of War, and games he would like to make an appearance like Bloodborne 2. What will it take for Sony to blunt the force of the Xbox Scorpio?

Just continue on the path they've already set out on.

"What Sony Can Do To Get You On Board at E3".....what???...i malready onboard man and competiton has sinked already ... they have done so much ,even if they just come and say hello people will cheer them more than the others

Dont be like that guys. Be demanding or get screwed when they feel they own you.

I want even more effort from Sony.

1. PSVR price cut (atleast 50bucks) or 400 bucks complete bundle.
2. AAA PSVR support roadmap.
3. New 1st party game reveals(other than what we already know of)
4. PS4 Pro price cut (the more people buy it, the more devs will take it seriously because lets face it most PRO support has been bare bones at best).
5. Megaton surprice (personal request >12+ teraflop PS5 in development for a 2019 or 2020 release).

I like the title. It made me chuckle. Millions of people are already on board. Even hardcore fans of other platforms are buying PS4's and some of them are on Youtube, other forums, and even here claiming to be neutral gamers. Every time I see them posting here PRETENDING to be an enlightened gamer it makes me laugh.

UltraNova,

Good list! I'm only skeptical of announcing a 12+TF console now. That would be doing what Microsoft did with Scorpio and I don't think Sony cares to follow Microsoft's example, especially when they hold an advantage over them. Announce too much now and the competition can easily one up you.

UltraNova2529d ago

DarXyde,

I know I know...MS did that to screw with the PS4 Pro's momentum and to keep as many xbox fans as possible from fleeing to the far better and obvious choice.

Thing is business is business and Sony learned anything from last gen they need to respond accordingly just like they did with 3rd party dlc deals.

@Ultra

It's good you set the measure of success so low

1 may be seen, but since they just recently stopped having manufacturing shortages, i wouldn't expect it.

2 I doubt we'll see until the actual install base increases. AAA is pretty costly.

3. I'm sure we'll see that. I'm hoping for Sucker Punch. They haven't had a game release in 3 years now.

4. That's possible. Might depend on Scorpio's price point though, and Sony hasn't exactly been dropping prices on a regular basis this gen. Stock PS4 price drop may be more likely. I'd see a bundle or new PS4P SKU's before a price drop.

5. Likely will have at least one. Doubt it'll be a new console though.

While any one of your requests may be possible, I highly doubt we'll see all of those things, particularly if Sony follows the same format as last year. Some of that stuff may come at later conferences or PSX.

Personally, so long as they manage to have a showing about as good as last year, or the year before without the boring parts, then I'm good. I'm already on board for PS.

I'm already on board before E3 has even started, but if there's one thing I would like to see most it would be some Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped gameplay.

XanderZane2529d ago

They aren't going to affect anything the XBox Scorpio does. Gamers who are already excited for it are still going to get it, especially if M$ shows some exclusive games that aren't going to be on the PC or any other platform, but XBox. I'm sure they will. Microsoft needs to drop the original to $250 or less. Get the Scorpio out @$500 or less. If they were smart, they would bundle a game in with it or even an Elite controller. They should also lower the XBL subscription to $49.99 or less. If they want to compete, they need to make some price cuts.

Sony is going to do what Sony always does. Show a ton of games. Hopefully we see some new PSVR games that are original and different. Lower the price of PSNow by a lot. Most gamers are already on board the PS4 train.

Razzer2529d ago (Edited 2529d ago )

Keep cranking out the game reveals. They are the only ones not having to worry about new hardware this year. That is a huge advantage.

raWfodog2529d ago

Yep, that's all it takes for me. What else is there to excite a gamer than simply having good games to play? Price cuts and extra features are also good to have but I don't spend hours playing with features.

All they have to do is continue releasing games and securing exclusives and they'll continue being miles ahead of Microsoft.

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows9039m ago(Edited 38m ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno21m ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak4m ago

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one, this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't !

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

banger8822h ago

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19819h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein7h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
