[@GIBiz] Confirmed: PlayStation will not be attending E3 2020
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
Why would that be terrible in any way? That literally is Gamescom.
you're right it's a disaster. How on Earth will Sony ever figure out how to disseminate information regarding their upcoming PlayStation 5 video game console in the year 2020 without help from the the ESA? Like how do we even know there's going to be a PS5?
Nintendo does. They were doing their own tradeshows decades ago. They also have a pretty crazy show/fair schedule, they attend basically *everything* but TGS.
Ubisoft maybe? Their conference last year was utterly godawful, and considering the poor sales of their recent releases, Yves & Co. might want to bow out for the foreseeable future.
entertainment software association
also, 'arrogant sony' is an old meme dating back to their psp/ps3 days
So after the February event, when would we see the PS5 next? I wonder if they will have another press conference of their own after the rumored Feb PS5 event. I imagine they won't just have the Feb event and then release more info in just a state of play. If it were to be done with state of plays, I imagine we would get a Massive PS5 state of play after the Feb event.
It's not just Keanu, seeing DMC 5 devs being excited for announcement, how many people would know who Ikumi Nakamura is without her E3 moment and so on. You can't do that in State of Play / Nintendo Direct video where everything is directed.
Of course they're not going to announce the PS5 reveal event yet. It goes against their MO of drip feeding information so they're always in the news.
Announce you're not going to E3, get some buzz. Wait a couple weeks, announce event, get more buzz and more prediction articles. Wait a couple more weeks, have a State of Play. A couple weeks later, PS5 event. And so on and so on.

I think the biggest hit is that means only MS will have 1 guaranteed event for non-media members to play next gen games before launch.
Having Sony their with the PS5 to let people get their hands on the updated controller and see whatever games they had ready for a demo really would have been the biggest thing with E3 being public and this being the 2 year that there's a new generation of hardware available for the first time.

User Banned (1 day): platform warring, account in junior phase
It's because Sony is doing it, and we're in the heat of a new console war.
This is a straight-up tragedy, honestly. And acting like Sony is doing it #forthejournalists is straight up disingenuous.
I mean there will still be live gaming events and presentations just not at platforms that endanger journalists.
E3 Expo Leaks The Personal Information Of Over 2,000 Journalists [Update]
A spreadsheet containing the contact information and personal addresses of over 2,000 games journalists, editors, and other content creators was recently found to have been published and publicly accessible on the website of the E3 Expo.kotaku.com
Among other reasons.
So, assuming this is the whole story. It appears that this was negligence on ESA's part. The file was on their server, but certainly not intentionally "leaked" as people have put it. They either depended on security via hiding (bad) or someone on their dev team made a terrible mistake.
That shit happens (as someone in tech - a lot, unfortunately). But unless I'm missing more detail, I dont see how E3/ESA meant to harm journalists.
I think people underestimate how much gaming has grown since the old E3 stage presentations where everyone wore baggy jeans and did awkward stage demos.
Gaming is mainstream now. You don't need a dedicated Expo for it. Platform holders can have a presentation whenever they want, and millions of people will watch, stream, react, and share.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars for what the big spaces are. Just for the SPACE. The minimum tiny booth size starts in the tens of thousands.
And that doesn't include material, hardware, staffing, construction, advertising, etc.
It was definitely not security via hiding, the file was exposed in plain view.
I get the sense there may be a bit of an echo chamber here on the subject. I have not seen this kind of hate anywhere else haha.
Who is saying there won't be events? Why do you assume only State of Plays from here until launch?
To say they won't be going and no follow up of what exactly they will be doing is a bit rubbish
I'm sorry - but intent doesn't matter here. The fact that this happened going *several* years back, and gaming already has an issue with Gamers™ wanting to harrass (and maybe worse) game journos, it's gross negligence at best.
I prefer low-key for all announcements in general. We don't need big shows, reveals, skits, or pointless filler to announce games or buying game companies. Just write a post on twitter or put out a statement. I'm absolutely sick of the childish way of showing games. It's fucking products, not a children's show.
I doubt there will be anything as interesting as TLOU2 or FF7R at launch. Maybe in 2021.
I get E3 is a gaming tradition, but they should be gone after what happened last year, it put a lot of people at risk to put it lightly. People really need to stop defending the ESA.
Maybe they canceled or moved ps5?
It makes sense after that XsX reveal destroying anything Sony is going for with PS5

There own shows can be better now that they don't have to go to E3.
E3 used to suck up content and i much rather Sony do back PSX .
