Destination PlayStation, an event for retail and third party publishers, was held this week
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
Small video of the montage they did at this event, looks like rehash of old footage.
Edit: No idea who this guy is but he claims the event focused on TLOU2 and it's slated for 25/10/19.
Oh, disregard what I said earlier—the thread has been cleansed. Go about discussing what you think could be released this year. My guess is and has always been Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch have been working on that game for awhile, so I think it could be the surprise release this year.
They always show everything that has been announced at DPS regardless of pending release date.
DPS is retailers bouncing from publisher casita to publisher casita, a couple dinners and everyone ends up eating at least once at both the steakhouse and the Mexican place at the resort.
I did start a rad bocce ball tourney after the concert one year. That was fun.

the video is from the instagram i posted, this user is not reliable.
but isnt destination intended as an event to inform retailers of the games that are planned to release in the coming year and make shipping deals? why show games that are a few years out?
Works for an eSports organization in the middle east. Unless they bother to show a screenshot of that release date I'm not taking it at true value.
The stage show the first day is just a hype show. They show the same videos and games that are already public. Everything about unannounced games is done in the casitas or meeting rooms, not in the theater show on day 1.

Is there anyone from the studios there? That's what I'm curious about tbh
I mean, I'm sure they're going to show new stuff to certain people but most likely it won't leak out.
Curious to know why the OP hasn't been updated yet, given that a number of people who would know have contradicted the big "It's all coming by Q1 2020" claim. Seems like that will just lead to more bullshit in a thread that's already seen its share.
I mean this was an event for retailers for the next year, so if they are not planning to release all them games before next February why would they show the retailers ?. They would show them next year when the games are actually coming out.
That's already been explained. The thread isn't even two pages yet. Not a hard read.
Sometimes studio folk attend if a game will be presented behind closed doors. Overwhelming majority is business people doing business people things. It's a great event, but in a way inside baseball kind of way.
Maybe update the OP, since people are still lazily coming in and commenting without reading the follow-ups.
I get it, hopefully post Days Gone release we will get some new insight into Sony's plans for the rest of the year... At least in terms of any event happening even if it's just a direct
I've been fairly sure for a while now that we'll be seeing The Last of Us Part II and Death Stranding this year and Ghost of Tsushima early next year, given what we know about the status of the projects, so these rumours add up in my view. Hopefully my predictions land:
Death Stranding - September '19
The Last of Us Part II - November '19
Ghost of Tsushima - February '20
Death Stranding - September '19
The Last of Us Part II - November '19
Ghost of Tsushima - February '20
So it was a whole lot of nothing huh? Sucks we have to wait until E3 to get all those sweet deets.
Thats nice, but I always expect delays anyways. So since they haven't shared a release date yet and we are also 2 months into 2019 and considering the fact that delays are commonplace nowadays I won't get my hopes up to play those games anytime soon. It is mostly to save my sanity, because I know my hypetrains are on full steam all the time and a derailment can be avoided by a pessimistic approach
Except Playstation isn't at E3. They will probably just do blog posts to give us new info. I think we will get a blog post for one of the big three in May that will have a release date and new trailer.
This claim has been contradicted multiple times and yet still remains.
Well I am sure we will get one more this year other than Days Gone. I think Ghosts is close to done. However it could easily be a Q1 2020 release with Last of Us ending the year. Death Stranding is still far away. PS5/PS4 duo release.
We know for certain this year we have MLB, Days Gone, Concrete Genie, and Dreams. I think we'll also get one of the remaining big 3.
People are still gonna be arguing that TLoU2, Ghosts and Death Stranding will be out in 2019 this time next year :p
All three wont be out by the end of 2020, never mind 2019.

My money is on GoT. Either way, I'm hoping any PS4 exclusive released late in the gen receives an update on PS5. TLoU2 and GoT at 60fps sounds lovely.
I worked in a different industry, but to give context on how retailer-partner events work.
It's not that you go there to show trailers/share release dates/etc and you're done.
Sure, you share those things.
But you also create the platform where you talk about product's audience, planned marketing initiatives surrounding those products, the point-of-sale materials that retailers would be supported with for certain games, what aspect of the game could be 'retailer-exclusive' for cross-promotion. You share details about the product's planned marketing roadmap so that retailers themselves can figure out what the publisher is planning to do to support a game and plan their own allocation and resources to support the game's launch in their own way.
And then lastly, and arguably the more important aspects of these kind of events... is there to build a sense of partnership/friendship/loyalty between the different partners. These events are held in fancy hotels with luxurious events and activities to make your partners feel appreciated, happy. Get them drunk, fed on good food, have the time of their lives. It might seem trivial or meaningless, but these kind of 'soft-touches' matter a lot in any industry where you rely on partners to distribute your products to the widest global audience.

Benji MatPiscatella Thank you both so much for weighing in and your patience, I really appreciate the insight.
I'm getting a pretty clear flavour on the shape of the event (also thank you Nightengale ) but one thing I'm not clear on is whether new footage (gameplay or cinematic) is shown to that audience? Or would that all be done in private, arranged sessions (hotel suites/meeting rooms) if at all?
If it's not crossing the line without asking for details, was new footage shown to the big audience this particular year?
Thanks ever so much!

Over the years I attended, anything new would be behind closed doors.
If the pattern of escalation continues, they're going to end up breaking street date on ps5
No thanks.
I don't want BC games to be the main focus of a next gen launch.
These are the best of PS4, like our TLOU, GTA5 were the best of PS3.
I want new gen games for PS5.
