Okay, maybe MS do an event before E3 to show off the hardware, but Sony?

I think you need more than a single 2 hour event to showcase your new console, all the capabilities, new games, price etc.

Yosp hanging out with Greg Miller this time of year leads me to believe that announce is coming very soon.
Already the case : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Experience#Exhibitors
Yeah but it is BS. Never forget that most people doesn't know how development works (video games or any IT project).
That kind of short teleportation is already doable.
How do you guys think that Sony will announce their E3 news today, will they also announce what date the PS meeting is happening in aswell or just mention that they're not attending E3 and leave us in the blank?
I think the unification of branding where Xbox = MS gaming doesn't negate the need for individual platform branding. While there may be a point where MS have a unified platform where software is completely de-coupled from hardware, they are not there yet. Not even close. Therefore you have to have branding for each hardware platform and the Xbox One platform, which is the One and One X, is a distinct platform from the Scarlet platform which is XBSX and maybe Lockhart. Then there is PC and xCloud. All will need to have their own sub-branding underneath the overall Xbox brand to prevent consumer confusion.

I can absolutely understand Sony wanting to have complete control over the timing of their reveals rather than being locked into a particular keynote slot at E3. I also won't be surprised if we get the PS5 street date and pricing after E3. Just like last year, this puts Microsoft in the unenviable position of having a fixed date for at least some form of major announcement on the E3 stage.
Who goes first in terms of gameplay reveals will also be interesting. I half expect it'll be drawn out, one trailer at a time, rather than attempting a shock-and-awe reel of one game after another.

So Gamescom. It is especially true if your game isn't about shooting.
Tell that to Kage Maru he was the one jumping on me for pointing out how that might be something worth thread marking since like you said we have a lot of people who don't understand shit but still want to talk like they are providing facts.
I already failed to discuss something with him, so no :D
It will be interesting to see when they unveil the price and release date. PS4 release date was announced at Gamescom 2013. My prediction is that they would announce the release date and price simultaneously this time around.
I'd argue games are gimped far more due to lack of time or money. God of War, Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk spent most of a generation in development. 5-7 years from planning to release. Yes, big, dense, highly interactive AAA games may apply things that are not scalable. Last gen Witcher 3 was the first game to deliver a true all around next gen experience outside of visuals. Sony themselves have not delivered those big experiences in the first 2 years of any console launch. If we get a big, dense open world game in the first 2 years of the new gen, it's extremely unlikely initial planning for the game began with these new console IO speeds in mind.
Imagine fast travel in God of War with the new SSD where you don't spend any time inside the Mystic Gateway… you just pass through the gate straight into the new location. Or even being able to see the other part of the world through the gate. Would feel amazing.
Quick question: Do we know if the Xbox controller of the Series X will have a screenshot button? Or is this just wishful thinking on my end. It is definitely something I love about the PS4 pad but sadly on PC it doesn't work and there is no equivalent to it...
Hopefully it will work well on PC. I want it to be an instant screenshot button and not something that opens a menu.
giving hope to the needy.
oh lawd
Era is here for you
I knew you never left us Anthony. Welcome back and I can see you are both a month older and a month wiser.
neuro-linguistic-programming in effect, xbox is sex now, and sex sells
Clearly you want to just argue while proclaiming how great your preferred company is. We are clearly looking for two different things in this discussion, so there's no point in going further with you.
I thought it was pointless because the base Xbox One has been a pain for devs for some time now and what was said wasn't anything new. It brought nothing new to the conversation so I didn't see a point in thread marking it. I just thought it was funny that you would request it because you feel like it fits your agenda.
That's not fair. I was more than open to understand your point and truly don't get what your problem is.
It's interesting that you mention The Witcher 3 and Red Dead 2 as they both control like crap to me.
We'll see if this bares out but I'm hopeful it isn't the case.
I do not understand but the type of digital f has the spec of the ps5 which says it has 56 cu?
Fair enough.
Your point is : mid fresh are running the game better than vanilla. It is true, yes.
My point is : baring exceptions, mid fresh are "just" a more stable frame rate (but sometimes not) and increase resolution. But both of those consoles (especially X) are way more advanced than vanilla. You don't even have performance / quality mode on most.
The whole point is : dev doesn't have time to handle that many platforms. And it makes no sense economically, because you don't care if the gamer buy it on One S or One X, and PS4 or Pro.
So, what do you think will happened when they need to run it on S, X, (Lockart) and Series X ?
So we have a PlayStation Meeting on Feb 14th?

no idea. sony wont announce anything. maybe later today when they tell everyone they are skipping e3 again.
Thank you, it really seems this thread is just retreading on stuff. Theres not really anything new to discuss regarding what the hardware will be.
I will say I'm really curious how Sony are going to cool there APU considering they are also pushing wattage boundaries for consoles. Will they make a bigger box like MS and go for that 140mm fan or do somthing more creative?
Unfortunately, it's not 2013 anymore.
E3 has pretty much grown progressively worse since 2013. Last year when whispers of Sony skipping emerged, I was one of the most vocal detractors of Sony's decision; even though I understood the reasoning behind it. I had an emeotional investment in E3. It's an event in the gaming calendar that has delivered legendary moments in the past before, for a second long as i've Known anything about gaming.
But the past few years have been dire.
Last year in particular was such an unadulterated, unilateral, shit show that it's not even funny. Heck, TGA 2019 was a bigger event and had better reveals than E3 2019. And all that's not to mention the doxxxing of media personalities nod a attendees last year.
Publishers just don't publish enough new games and new IP for E3 to be exciting anymore.
"TGA 2019 was a bigger event and had better reveals than E3 2019."
That's simply not true and honestly generally ridiculous comparison. One's a gaming event for vendors journalist publisher's etc, the others a secluded award show. Both should continue to exist
You may have let the hyperbole take hold a big strong here, we got some nice trailers and that's about it from TGA. That was cool and all but that's not much more than a bad third day of E3.
I'll guarantee MS will have another event. Not as big as E3 though.
There wasn't a single game with an interesting trailer at E3. The vast majority were CGI BS that didn't show anything of the game. TGA at least game us some meat for the new game announcements.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not even saying TGA was good for game reveals, just that it wasn't as irredeemably shit as E3.
Almost certainly. I expect price/date to be announced together, but feature/tech demos will likely be a distinct reveal earlier, and individual games can be showcased separately whenever it suits them. I am far less certain that we'll have a traditional launch game lineup this time around. No doubt there will be one or two first-party showcase titles, but too many promising games have been tragically compromised by being rushed out alongside a console. The big releases should come out when they're ready, letting third party and indie titles fill out much of the holiday schedule.
Wait are you circling back to the github stuff? That seems to be a bit of a retread haha.
Are you representing the whole world that E3 was bad, or just yourself?
Because I had no problem with the games, or the trailers. And I think I'm not the only one, but don't take me for speaking for the whole world, please. :)
Are you specifically talking about new game announcements because there were plenty of good trailers from games we knew about: Doom, Cyberpunk, Jedi New Order, FF7 remake, etc.
I mean it's fine if you don't really like anything but that's more of a you problem.
Someone needs to create "are you not entertained?" gif replacing Crowe head with E3 logo now.
Wait are you circling back to the github stuff? That seems to be a bit of a retread haha.
Nothing I said in the post is anything to do with the github stuff.
I don't know why you think it would.
Well you talked about wattage and how they're pushing the envelope for consoles, what are you referring to?
I can agree with the launch titles scenario. I was thinking that maybe this time around they'd blow people out of the water right away. But I'm scaling back on that theory.
So I'd assume 1-3 next-gen games (Schreier in the splitscreen podcast made it sound like to me that there would be multiple PS5 games at launch), the rest third party cross-gen and the last few exclusives being cross-gen as well, but with PS5 enhancements. Makes it a solid launch imo.
In the first half of your comments, I think the roles would be reversed. Show what the power of the Console is about, and then if they have to, a separate showing of the price and launch date. Usually it ties in nicely when you show games and then reveal the price tag after. Perfect salesman's pitch technique.
We don't post that kinda stuff here, misterxmedia and all that
