MMGN: PlayStation will finally have a presence at PAX Australia in 2015.
Media Molecule had a small booth to showcase Tearaway last year, but aside from that PlayStation hasn't appeared at PAX Australia since the first expo in 2013.
IGN: "If our two-hour hands-on preview is any indication of the rest of the game, then Visions of Mana's fresh take on battle and class systems not only gives it the potential to meet the success of the originals but possibly even the chance to surpass them."
It's balancing old and new, then, and embracing a sort of breezy retro simplicity. Pleasing as that is, though, it so far feels a little shallow by comparison to other genre heavy-hitters. Despite moving to an open world and offering sumptuous presentation, Visions of Mana clings to the past and lacks truly fresh ideas of its own. It's a welcome return and a fun, bubbly, frivolous experience, but the Mana series looks set to remain in the shadow of Square Enix's premiere franchises for now.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
So thats 3 conferences sony will be attending before the end of the year. Tokyo game show, Paris game week and pax aus with PlayStation experience in December. Now it makes perfect sense why sony didn't have a presentation at gamescon. Very smart move imo sonys news will be fresh for the big holiday push instead of revealing things in August that no one will remember.
I doubt Sony is having a press conference at PAX. They're attending PAX but their PGS conference is going to take place a day before PAX so they're most likely going to have booths and maybe 1 or 2 small surprises at PAX. This is still good news nonetheless.
So all in all Sony will be attending PAX, PGS, TGS and PSX this year. Damn.. Sony isn't playing around.
Dang Sony is aggressive in establishing their presence at all these conferences

I've noticed that too. Sony has always done a good job at appealing to lots of markets instead of just 1 or 2 markets and I gotta give them credit for that. PlayStation has always had very popular worldwide brand appeal even dating back to the PS1 days and things like this are the reason why.
Jesus christ ! That's just insane for Sony doing that.
