Wasn't that promised 4-5 months ago and still NOTHING.
That's what they said about the hardware reveal and in the end we saw the console.
It's coming the only question is when?

What is the point in having a SoP not about the PS5?
Temper your expectations.
In previous console launches, the hype machine started with E3, and that shit didn't stop. They are just not even trying to make people feel good about these machines. Only blind devotion to these companies can yield any type of excitement based on what they've given us for either system. It sucks.
No big PS5 announcements? ... I call bullshit, the machine's supposed to be out this holiday season, and we don't know price, release date ... Just how late are they planning on revealing this important information.
Exactly.When are they gonna show the PS5 OS, talk about how BC works, and tell us the price? A fucking week before it releases? This has gotten stupid at this point.
i like to see more about Kena.
You can't even officially preorder it, so it makes no difference at this point. There's really no benefit for the companies or gamers to know any of that information right now anyway, other than satiating the desire to know. They could very well announce it the night before, as many products are announced the day of release. However, they'll want to allow preorders, so there'll definitely be some lead time.When are they gonna show the PS5 OS, talk about how BC works, and tell us the price?

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Nobody gives a fuck about PS4 at this point!
Yeah but the reason we can't preorder is because they haven't released the price. The announcement of the price and preorders going up will happen at the same time. So let's get it fucking going already.You can't even officially preorder it, so it makes no difference at this point.

I don't know if that's true? Back when I was doing some game coverage, the time after E3 was all talk from the press with very little actual new info about the games (except for the little 3rd Party games, or now it'd be indies, who are eager to get some press before they get drown out, but there may be muzzles on even the small companies these days?)
It'd be a little to make like a graph of examples of the console cycle, but one thing you can look at for the history of game exposure is video, since every snippet of video a site can get, they'll post if it's a next-gen title. So looking at the video archives of some old sites, you can see everything they posted and when. For PS4 and Xbox One, these examples of that cycle shows a clear quiet period before the games ramped up again, and I remember that being frustratingly commonplace. (And last-gen was with an early E3, and without this damned virus complicating everything.)
Killzone Shadow Fall: Shown at E3 on June 10, 2013 (actually unveiled at GDC that February, with no new footage until June; didn't Ryse do the same thing .) Then, no more footage until August 20, 2013, when Sony released the Multiplayer Trailer and an additional press play session was held, with a more consistent news stream starting in Sept.

Dead Rising 3: Shown at E3 on June 13 (huh, did Sony really go first at that E3?), then a making-of video came out in July (not sure how much is new footage?), and then a play session on Aug 21 and another on on Sept 20 but the open-season kicking off somewhere in October.
Dead Rising 3
Dead Rising 3 places players in the role of Nick Ramos who must find a way to escape a city full of zombies before an impending military strike wipes the city of Los Perdidos, California, and everyone in it, off the map.www.gamespot.com
And you should be able to find similar patterns for other games too. Big pop at E3, then a few months downtime before re-immersion when it's time to start selling product. There was once a time where Japan launched some consoles early, so if you were a Nintendo or PlayStation fan you could tune into Japanese press and see what was about to come your way or check out the import scene, but those days are long gone. A lull is intentional in a console cycle; there's other product to move, and console manufacturers want to direct game buyers carefully to maximise all their markets. It feels weird when you're in the eye of the storm (and in the past there were probably a lot of other ways game publishers were getting their products hyped up and it felt like we got a lot more, whereas now publishers are content selling their cross-gen titles; then again, I remember a lot of these same posts of "WTF, Microsoft has an Xbox coming out this year and we haven't seen it" or "Come on Sony, you already showed the thing, now where's the pricetag and release date for PS4?"), but this timing is a lot more normal than we wish it was.
Not sure yet Sony launched the PlayStation 4 in the holiday season of 2013, and they didn't give out that machine's price/date info until Gamescom in late August, so... what's today's date?
Really? It seems so much harder this time around.

Or gamescom which you know is also August.Capcom said they will talk more about RE 8 this August so that's probably one of the things showed here.
In January, most of us were convinced that February would be the big part of the console reveal since that was the timeline for the PS4.
Now we're in August and still don't know the price or when it launches. This shit is insane.
Are you sure? they did on E3, usually E3 is on June
