Sony’s E3 2016 Press Conference Gets Date and Time

Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed today the date and time of its E3 press briefing.

[Herbalistic]

I'll be tuned in to check out all of the huge announcements coming from Sony

[rainslacker]

Hoping for the E3 Experience in theaters again this year. Last year was awesome, and close enough that I didn't have to drive 4 hours to it like the year before.:)

[bouzebbal]

June 13th.. I'll be watching as always

[nX]

Sony's E3's have been amazing in the last 5 years, I'll definitely stay awake to watch it again. Hopefully God Of War 4 will be finally unveiled and I certainly wouldn't mind the rather unlikely announcement of TLOU2.

[Gamist2dot0]

Gotta up vote you for your 4 hour drive. But last year's E3 was amazing.

[-Foxtrot]

Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot

Maybe if we say it enough it will come true

Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot

[naruga]

Crash Bandicoot (returns to sony) , Crash Bandicoot (returns to sony) ... here i corrected it a bit.. differently better to be left dead ..

[Davi123]

unbelievable...... -.-'''

[nX]

Fo real tho, I don't want another Crash from Activision.

It doesn't even have to be Naughty Dog, Insomniac could be the perfect studio for a reboot.

[nveenio]

I'm not interested. Nostalgia is not the best foundation for a game.

[81BX]

After uncharted 4 its almost guarenteed to make a return

[_-EDMIX-_]

I mean I absolutely agree with you but for all we know it's a complete reboot that is aiming to actually really create something different than the original series I agree that Nostalgia can not carry this game because that really only goes so far but I feel that the team likely making the Crash Bandicoot reboot probably already knows this.

[WickedLester]

Yeah, TOTALLY didn't work for Ratchet and Clank did it? /sarcasm.

[Sevir]

Ratchet and Clank is different. It stayed with the developer for 14 years, had numerous revisions and iterations to its formula. It was a game that was rebootable because it was way ahead of other platforms for its time upon release initially.

Crash on the other hand was an isometric platformed about escaping boulders and collecting fruit while jumping over chasms...

If you reboot it to cater to a new crowd, you're definitely going to need to go full 3d and open world, because let's be honest how fun is seeing a PS4 quality crash model doing the same movements and running towards the screen against a confined isometric view for 10 hours. How long before running in the same view or the minor switches to side scrolling view before it gets stale and boring?

It was fun on PS1 but we were children/young teens. We are adults now we expect better game design mechanics.

That crash bandicoot segment in uncharted 4 was fun for the 5 mins it lasted.

They can't make this game on nostalgic archaic game design, it will be boring after 10 mins, and they can't change it or it loses the magic of the original game which again only last so long based on outdated gameplay mechanics..

Leave Crash alone, that's why act I vision left it alone even after Sierra entertainment tried and failed.

Crash is no where near as fun as ratchet and clank, sly or Jak and Daxter.

And I for one say leave the classic alone we don't need them making a new game to cash in on the name and disappoint us.

It's a classic and some classics should remain that way

[UnHoly_One]

Glad somebody else gets that it wouldn't work as a current game.

It could probably work as a mediocre cellphone game or something, but that's about it.

It would have to be a completely different game from what it was originally to stand out in today's world.

[DigitalRaptor]

Sony have said it enough times, without actually saying it, if you know what I mean?

It just has to be at E3, and if it is, the audience reaction is going to be the greatest things, other than the announcement itself. HYPE!

[rainslacker]

just the teases of it have gotten people hyped again and again. I never even realized the game was that popular because I never got into it much back in the day, and mostly just remember Activisions handling of the series. Always liked it when I went retro and played it though, despite being frustrated at times.

A full blown announcement will be crazy I think.

Wonder if they'll harken back to the advertising days and have Crash outside MS headquarters with a bullhorn.

[Unholy_Witchcraft]

That would be good. I wouldnt mind another Syphon Filter game in the style of the first 3 titles

[MRMagoo123]

remember tazering bad guys till they caught on fire and died lol

[Aenea]

And the press conference is now twice as long since they will be showing a ton of PSVR games, please! Let it be so!

[_-EDMIX-_]

Lol I have a feeling that Crash Bandicoot is very much going to get announced at E3.

[Nyxus]

As always in the middle of the night for us Europeans...

[-Foxtrot]

You'd think they would remember it's a world wide event.

The least they could do is find a channel in the UK/Europe to put the conferences on

[Sniperwithacause]

You would think that they aren't going to host an event at 11 pm California time just to please uk/Europe. Not to be a jerk, but it's in America so it makes sense to do it on the time frame that would fit Americans.

[JMyers]

I know right? There is or was a Sony TV channel and E3 was never on it. Ridiculous.

[nveenio]

It's not a world-wide event. It's an American expo. They don't time TGS for the USA. Why should E3 be any different?

[RevXM]

Well... there is an E3 youtube channel and Sony live streams on their Playstation channel dont they?
E3 is an american expo event taking place in america so they have to do it in a timeframe that makes sense over there. I live in europe and Im fine with this. I will stay up late or watch it the next day. Its just an inconvenience, nothing to sob about. :)

[Malphite]

Well it's always night somewhere. They can't have it on prime time for everyone.

[Chevalier]

It happens. Just like I have to wake up at 6 AM sometimes to watch IIHF hockey tournaments when they're in Europe. If you like it you will make time for it, simple as that.

[Muzikguy]

Exactly. I thought it was just an American ideal that everyone needs to be catered to. I guess not. There's your entitlement right there...

I never mind shows being at odd times because then all the news is all over the Internet by the time I get to it

[ger2396]

Exactly, same when watching the English Premier League at 7:00 a.m. it's early, but worth it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Chevalier- Could not agree more as a huge MMA fan I used to be up all hours in the early morning to watch Pride events. It was happening in Japan and I live in the USA. if you're a fan then you're not going to miss it and you're going to make time. Around E3 my hand off lots of my clients over to my sister and other family members that are also in real estate simply so I could just sit back and watch all the conferences and news. Lol

Before I was in real estate I even called out of a class to watch E3, before I was in college when I was working I even had it arranged for me to not work those days on my schedule weeks in advance to watch E3 lol.

Oh...you'll make the time. There's tons of other events happening in Germany Paris Japan where we're going to have to accommodate time anyway and I'm sorry but that's never really going to stop most Gamers I mean I'm up all hours reading news believe me I'm going to stay up to hear it live lol.

[SonyStyled]

Europe is on the complete other side of the hemisphere from the western coast of the United States, so the middle of the night for you is the middle of the day in California

[Nyxus]

I know that. But Nintendo for example often had their shows in the morning, and over here it would be 18:00 - 19:00. Much more convenient for Europe.

[kraenk12]

Show some dedication damnit!

[crazychris4124]

Im sure we will see God of War

[Kurisu]

Hopefully the rumours about a new mythology come true :)

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Unless it's just... a myth

Sigh

I'll see myself out now :3

[81BX]

Hope so, gow3 was great

[_-EDMIX-_]

What are those rumors of Norse mythology isn't a god of war but an entirely new IP?

[Kurisu]

Could be possible! Whatever it is I'm looking forward to it.

[shazow]

Alright everyone, all aboard the hype train. Next stop is E3!

[DopeTech]

CHOOOO CHOOOO!!!

[ziggurcat]

i think this is going to be another exciting year!

[TheColbertinator]

Cool,conference when I get off work.

Maybe I should take a day to watch the MS and EA conferences too

Also...Dark Cloud 3 plz

[Immorals]

It's worth taking the day off to fully nerd out!

[Salooh]

Don't have any hope for dark cloud right now because of Ni no, i expect a release date, my prediction is Feb.

Unless they want to reveal it early , or have a second team that is developing ni no or something like that...

[theshredded]

Lucky I have a summer vacation and PLEASE stop announcing games so early dammit. I wish people would criticize them for that.

[_-EDMIX-_]

You really think most companies can even afford to keep a game in development in Silence with zero input? Lots of these companies still have to answer to investors or even private lenders that won't even continued support of your project if they don't know it has excitement behind it I'm pretty positive the excitement that was shown for cyberpunk 2077 has aided that team greatly as lenders probably have more faith in that Project based on people's hype than they would had in secrecy.

What you're saying is for companies to please stop marketing one-hundred-million-dollar games years in advance and just gamble on them in secrecy does that sound like that make sense to you?

[StormLegend]

Come on Sucker Punch plz announce Spider-Man!!!! I can't wait to see that, GOW 4, Horizon, Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian and finally Detroit gameplay

[SavingPvt_Highon]

Yessssss

[Kurisu]

I'm in the UK so if I'm not working the next day, I'll watch it. If I am working then I'll just wait until I get home. Should be a good show.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

I'm in Ohio (USA midwest, even though it's eastern time zone) and I'll likely be watching it recorded as to save a vacation day at work.

[opinionated]

June 13th 9pm eastern. Thanks DS

[gangsta_red]

I'm hoping for a new God of War, more Horizon gameplay (hopefully something with added co-op) and maybe a RPG from Sony of Japan or one of their other studios.

[Gazondaily]

I'm hoping for a strong VR showing. Not the utter crap they showed off last year.

GT, Ace Combat, Eve and hopefully NMS...le drool

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'm sorry but whenever you guys post, in my mind I just hear the Bulk and Skull theme song from Power Rangers lol.

Sure guys......sure.

[MRMagoo123]

@edmix

when I see them both post I think "oh to be young and in love again" it's a true romance these 2 share it reminds me of 2002 when I met my wife, so sweet I hope they have a long and loving relationship.

[Wallstreet37]

Cant wait for the E3 experience in theaters. I go every year in Manhattan and the gaming passion is real.

[DopeTech]

Can't wait, this is so exciting, I'll be watching it LIVE!

I hope they show/announce:

God of War 4, The Last Guardian, Crash Bandicoot, Horizon Zero Dawn and announce PS4 NEO.

And close the show with a minute long reveal trailer of The Last of Us 2, may be they'll do it, why? Because when Uncharted 3 was released back in November 2011, TLOU was revealed with a reveal trailer at VGX in December 2011 so there might be a chance, Uncharted 4 released in May 2016 so TLOU 2 actually has a chance to be revealed at E3 June.

[mocaak]

They were able to reveal The Last of Us so early because Neil Druckmann and Bruce Starley were not working Uncharted 3, so they had time to work on the game. While this time they were lead directors of Uncharted 4, so I doubt they will have something ready.
My guess would be Playstation Experience, Naughty Dog always announced their games at that time, at VGX and Uncharted 4 at first PSX.

[DopeTech]

Oh I get, crap!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I want BioShock: The Collection to finally be announced and dated since it's currently the worst kept secret I'm the industry with all rating board leaks around the world. Throw in a new BioShock announcement as well. Progress report on Shenmue III. Release dates and footage for Detroit, Horizon and The Last Guardian. Tease for Hideo Kojima's new game and The Last of Us 2 would be nice. Actual gameplay footage for Mass Effect: Andromeda and please give us a Remastered Trilogy while you're at it! Hellblade footage and release date as well. PLEASE finally show us Sony Bends new horror game!

[Pancit_Canton]

I want to see it on the theatre again. Make it happen Sony.

[Elda]

I will definitely be tuned in..I'm on a 3 1/2 month vac from work,the only lackluster moment for me will be talks about VR other then that I want to see & hear about PS exclusives to play on the big screen.

[WeAreLegion]

Finally. Can't wait for this one. Just one month!

[Rookie_Monster]

Can't wait!!!!

[ocelot07]

I hope next year's E3 Sony allows us to watch there conference in vr. If the FA are doing it allowing us to watch live premiere league football am sure Sony can make this happen.

[Kurisu]

You beat me to it. I was just thinking about the possibilities of this. Imagine E3 VR where you could walk around the show floor, watch trailers, play demos etc.

[rekk]

Watch nba and movies that would be cool!

[ocelot07]

Watching NBA and movies is a thing you will be able to do at some point. As I said the the English Premier League are doing it soon. As well as WWE I believe.

[ocelot07]

Agreed I actually use to like walking around PlayStation Home E3 floor. But it would be amazing in VR.

[Germany7]

It's difficult to control the hype with rumours like Crash Bandicoot, Spider-Man and God of War 4.

[Tobsesan]

Who gets hyped for spiderman?

[MRMagoo123]

spiderman fans, superhero game fans , action game fans , open world fans , marvel fans ........I'm sure there is more but I think that should help you with your question.

[ocelot07]

The rumours are Sucker Punch are making it. The guys who do the Infamous games. Never been hyped for a spider man game my self. But the thought of sucker punch making one.

[Tobsesan]

Ah ok didnt know that. Normally Superhero games are horrible.

[Unholy_Witchcraft]

Need to figure this out for Australian time

[MRMagoo123]

11am on the 14th in QLD but we don't use daylight savings so yeh hope that helps

[Unholy_Witchcraft]

Thanks. Brisbane Northside rperesent haha

[Lord_of_Cinder]

My wishlist:

PSVR, God of War, More of The Last Guardian, Bloodborne 2, new Sucker Punch game, more of Horizon, more of GT Sport VR, Star Wars Battlefront VR, The Last of Us 2 and more VR.

Greatness continues!

[Tobsesan]

Shenmue 3, Crash and kojima please

[rekk]

Hype!!!!!

[ABBAJESUS]

I'm working then but i try to watch it afterwards without looking spoiler news everywhere.

[Aenea]

I will be staying up late for this since it's gonna be 3am my local time! Did the same last year, totally worth it!

[Plagasx]

I hope they do the E3 Experience in theaters again! Had a blast last year and the year before :)

[blest]

Ni no kuni 2!!!!!! Please

[Tobsesan]

Aww cant watch it live, always middle of the night

[ninsigma]

Already have the next day booked off so I can watch it at 2AM. Bring it on :D

[WickedLester]

What do you guys think Sony's "drop the mic" moment (s) will be? I'm predicting ...

A.) No Man's Sky for PSVR announced.
B.) God of War 4 trailer.
C.) New Crash Bandicoot announced

[OB1Biker]

Im hesitating between Spiderman if its real and Dead Dont Ride
It could also be something huge and completely unexpected

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

Can't Wait! Will be another amazing conference.

[KingofGambling]

For anyone who's going to the theater to watch the Sony E3 conference. Please record yours and the crowds reaction and post them on youtube. I would appreciated it.

[Relientk77]

Cannot wait for this. I have hope for Crash Bandicoot

[rivaldoo777]

Interested to see how XOTV will react after Sony's press conference!! Hope they dont jump off the cliff , lollll

[OB1Biker]

XOTV is over hated

[sRN4G1989]

Plz... Not a Crash Game. Keep the Classic game intact.

[ABBAJESUS]

June 13th, 6 PM Pacific time. That translates to 9 PM Eastern time. If you’re in the UK you’ll have watch it at 2 AM

[MSF89]

God Of War 4

[SegaGamer]

They will do well to make it as good as last year. Last year was the best i have ever seen.

[Animegodly]

Prepare for Sony domination bruh.

[NotanotherReboot]

Crash bandicoot is not going to be there

[Tankbusta40]

Is E3 going to be televised at all this year? I used to love when G4 would cover it, mostly because I could DVR it and watch it when I got home. Now thats its all online I can't really follow it at work and have to rely on clips from websites after the fact

[ajax17]

My wishlist:
·GOW IV announced
·Crash Bandicoot rights Acquired
·The Last Guardian (firm release date)
·Agent reintroduced with gameplay
·New Sucker Punch ip
·PS4K introduced
·Dreams (firm release date)
·Gran Turismo 7 announcement

[tulholdren]

Cant wait to see what exclusives I'll be adding to my collection. I know Sony going to have some surprises in store.
