Vick, this for you.

My good man, I've been saving like a good boy all year and would like a 1st class ticket please for the hype train express. With my birthday the day before the showcase and as a 13 year old member with nearly 18,000 posts, I trust you'll keep me away from the noisy kids and do me well.

 

[The Fartist]

Thank you, sir, I feel special, really.

 

[TGO]

Why are there humans on the Shagohod?

They snuck on board sir

Welcome aboard

The passenger next to me brought a crying newborn child with them which just vomited on me.

Just 6 more days of this....

Had a thought about the Sony/Konami rumors: no, I don't think Sony's acquired Konami.

But, I think they maybe have purchased the IP rights to Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, and Silent Hill from Konami at least in the gaming space. I feel Konami's done with Sony, what Square-Enix did with Embracer Group. SE didn't have to sell Embracer the Tomb Raider or Hitman IP; they did so though because they would no longer have in-house studios to work on them.

Well, Konami doesn't really have any in-house devs for the MGS, Silent Hill, or Castlevania games anymore (or the talent, even if the studios still kind of exist). Why hold on to them? Sony would probably like the IP, and Konami have no plans for them with their internal teams, so I'm thinking Sony purchased the IP rights from Konami. While Konami still retains IP rights for them in terms of non-gaming ventures like film/anime/television and merchandise (though like Disney/Marvel's relationship with Spiderman films, I'm assuming Sony would get a cut of the proceeds from things Konami do in that regard with those IP as part of the deal), Sony have control of the IP in the gaming side with some portion of decision-making still having Konami's input.

That’s not what’s happening. Silent Hill 2 is being published by Konami, and it’s only a timed exclusive.

What you are talking about was a early rumor, probably because the source thought since PlayStation was getting them as some sort of exclusives that they would effectively be in charge of the IPs, but that’s not the case.

Until we know more about MGS remake the safe bet is that it’s also a times exclusive.

 

[DJ12]

True. He's secretly salivating, his well is dry.

To be fair he's probably still playing Redfall, his contract requires him to complete it.

As we don't know which Metal Gear Solid is gonna be announced, how bout I put you on Metal Gear Rex?
As the Shagohod has a human infestation

But if we run out of room, you'll have to make do I'm afraid

 

[cash_longfellow]

Maybe, but anything else FF-related beyond XVI will probably be VII Rebirth.

I feel this 100%…but idk, I have strange feeling there is going to be a teaser for something beyond that, and it will be Final Fantasy related. I have no evidence, or any reason to think it besides history of PlayStation Showcases, but it’s just something about this one.

 

[DoktorCoktor]

Cant believe little devil inside or pragmata still arent out. Definitely seems like they will be this generations vapor ware titles

Capcom hasn't shown anything for Pragmata other than cutscene trailer, so I can't say I honestly care about it. On the other hand, Little Devil Inside has had plenty of content shown off over the years, even before Sony started funding the developers.

None of these games are Sony's.

That's right, they're third-party titles, and that's exactly why Sony should not attempt to keep them from other platforms by approaching their publishers with high figure checks.

 

[Ronin_7]

Hold onto your butts.


Ready to be proven wrong @Perrott

Not happening.

 

[nial]

I would love for them to go back doing weird and quirkier games. Things like Tearaway, Puppeteer, Gravity Rush, Concrete Genie...

Go long before that. I.Q.: Intelligent Qube, Ore no Ryouri, Mister Mosquito, Kuma Uta? Now THAT was weird. And yes, I also want Team Asobi to bring those kinds of games.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Where are those fake leaks which are entertaining to read?

[The artful mincer]

Not sure why you guys are excited. I thought Sony just make boring story driven walking simulators?

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[Evolved1]

The only thing that is gonna make this show worth watching is Dragon's Dogma 2

I would die. Fortunately, or unfortunately, game is waaaay too early to be here.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Honestly who knows what Sony cooked up. They know the thirst for those IPs are real, and they want Playstation to be the place to play them. Maybe we will see "Playstation Studios" before they show a Konami IP trailer.

Would be great

Here's one.

 

[Razzy-]

Just new ps5 games being announced in the show. I mean that's exciting right? New games to play. No? Okay

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[ShaikhCroft]

Will this showcase be open to public? I mean there will be spectators in front of the showcase?

 

[ergem]

FF9 REMAKE!

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Thanks, it has satiated my hunger for now XD. It also does not look like cannot be real. Let's see how things go.

 

[SlicedBread3]

Here's one.

No mention of Bloodborne. So it's probably legit.

Edit: If it wasn't obvious, I'm joking. Seeing some crazy people thinking this is real and don't want to be accidentally lumped in with them.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I don't think it's any coincidence that Sony announced the Playstation Showcase for end of May, immediately after they have confirmation from the CMA and EU regarding the Activision/Microsoft deal. I really do think the primary reason we have not seen a showcase is due to this acquisition, as Sony did not want to weaken their position with a strong games showing for the future.

Now that the CMA has said that their concerns are unrelated to console competition, but ended up ruling in favor of blocking the deal for Cloud related reasons, and the EU has approved the deal despite having the same concerns as the CMA, Sony now knows the major regulatory impact direction and there's simply no need to withold their plans any longer. Them having a showcase won't weaken their position for the Activision/Microsoft deal in the future.

It's why I also think the claim that Jim Ryan is now focused on "Total Mindshare' and "Make a Statement and Make Noise" may have some truth as Jim has likely specifically withheld a significant portion of their long-term plans as a result of that merger.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Would be great
Here's one.

This list seems reasonable - where did it leak from?

 

[Alex Scott]

Would be great
Here's one.

Firewalk making Killzone make this look fake tbh.

 

[Thirty7ven]

What if Factions completely blows our socks off?

With the success of the show, TLOU remake sales, there would be no better time for ND to strike true with a multiplayer TLOU.

 

[Yoboman]

I hope it does. The multiplayer space is begging for something big to hit

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Please, a new franchise that doesn’t have white/yellow paint to indicate the brainlets where they can jump/grab a ledge. And stop with cinematic shit for a single fucking minute Sony. Maybe even not third person action?

Peoples want graphics and cinematic experiences for epeen wars. I want old PSX and PS2 Sony with diverse lineup.

This will annoy me the most with any upcoming next gen game BUT it's not going away as the games have to appeal to wide range of audience.

Hoping for much smarter AI though. I don't much care for the best graphics.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Please, a new franchise that doesn’t have white/yellow paint

this is way better than shiny blinking ,outlines or waypoints.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Would be great
Here's one.

looks legit

 

[Rayderism]

Well......I know I'll be disappointed with the show. I mean, I'm sure there won't be a new Motorstorm announcement. That would be about the only thing that would truly get me excited.

 

[Poltz]

I’m not tempering my expectations for the first showcase since September 2021.

 

[Yoboman]

Well......I know I'll be disappointed with the show. I mean, I'm sure there won't be a new Motorstorm announcement. That would be about the only thing that would truly get me excited.

They are bringing back Twisted Metal, MotorStorm isn't impossible

 

[Varteras]

 

[Iced Arcade]

Hype! 1 ticket please TGO

 

[Gamerguy84]

I’m not tempering my expectations for the first showcase since September 2021.

Same and I usually always do. This isn't a direct where they cautiously preceed the show with statement like "don't expect anything too big"

Spoiler

 

[cash_longfellow]

FF9 REMAKE!

I’m just thinking out loud..again, I have no evidence

 

[Brigandier]

My word I hate the HEY CLIMB HERE DUMMY paint... I'd like to see diverse Sony back too, Socom, Syphon Filter Motorstorm a couple of RPGs!!! Also not every game needs to be vast open or semi open.

This will annoy me the most with any upcoming next gen game BUT it's not going away as the games have to appeal to wide range of audience.

Hoping for much smarter AI though. I don't much care for the best graphics.

Games need an x-ray vision and "dumbass paint" toggle going forward imo.

AI is something that developers seriously don't invest much time and resources into and this needs to change ASAP, We have better than ever graphics lighting textures effects and sound but AI feels like PS360 era it really hasn't progressed at all and in some instances has regressed.
