At what point should we start to worry about reveals or shows not happening this year.. I dont want it to be April and out of nowhere the rest of the E3 publishers pull out( I know Sony wont be there anyway) but still.
That is what I was hoping.Pertaining to the virus, it all depends on how containment of it goes in the coming weeks and months.
Reveals can still happen via a streaming format, so I'm not expecting this to affect when the reveals happen at all.
I was cynical about mentions of the virus outbreak around these parts for how it wouldn't be understood, embarrassingly so, in threads like this.
But no, if it's going to educate the wider public on the facts and real world implications than I'm glad the message can get out that way.
Those in the areas affected should take all necessary precautions Some effects won't be known in the short term and it will absolutely affect many industries in Asia and SE Asia, not just game dev.
Those who aren't and are unaware of what's going on should ask questions and respect the fact it's literally unfolding before everyone's eyes.
Lot of mean-spirited comments in here for no reason.
No, there is a clear subset of folk who consider the first three past Sony consoles the beginning and end of "the old".
You know, like this place and how it considers only the future Sony console as "the new".
GDC is literally in Sony's backyard. Most staff would probably have a shorter commute from home to GDC than they would from home to the office.
It's probably the same demo they used on previews. You can see it online already.I don't see why ND can't just release a 15 minute online youtube gameplay clip, edited or not. Within the next few weeks. A shortened online version of what was meant to be played at PAX.
That is what I was hoping.

We shall see I guess, I do hope a PS5 conference actually happens though and not so much a direct ONLY for it. I want a 2 hour stage presence with meaty AAA reveals.
People have nothing better to do than be desperate when there hasn't been a new video game released in 9 days. I, for one, blame Sony for not making games fast enough and according to my schedule.You guys can't be that desperate for the new consoles to come out?
Is there a real risk? Should all other events in NA be cancelled too?
Manufacturing plants in China are already being affected by the virus, but I don't think next-gen will be delayed, maybe just supply limited at launch.
The flu has a mortality rate of .001%, coronavirus is bopping around 2500 times more deadly with 2.5%. The reason more people aren't dead is that there's a massive concerted push to contain it and not create a pandemic.
Flu deaths will pale in comparison if uncontrolled.

Crazy to me they're canceling all these events with the WHO saying outside of China there is less than 1% mortality rate (0.68%). 7 total deaths outside of China.
I still expect leaks out of GDC however
You also need to look at the rate across age groups.The seasonal Flu is actually around 0.1% not 1/100th of that (that is misinformation/FAKE NEWS), but it also has the distinction of afflicting healthy populations in economically advanced regions which makes an enormous difference in case fatality rates when compared to the early more noisy data found at the beginning of an epidemic which leads to extremely high uncertainty.
For note other corona virus case fatality rates
Claiming 2.5% is also a little preemptive to the actual science behind things like this as the outbreak is new and basic math (fatalities/total infected) doesn't incorporate any forward looking statistical modeling. Some current modeling estimates have actually placed it as low as H1N1 (which was 0.1%) but as high as 10%, it's way too early to just through numbers around that are based on too simple of math.
PAX East was going to have PS4 games that will old news by E3, and GDC wouldn't have anything useful for the public and anything they really wanted to put in front of devs they can easily do by other means. So I don't think so, no.Is there a chance Sony could reevaluate going to E3 after the recent cancellations or is it to late for that?

I don't see it happening, but I'm curious if it would even be possible this late.

Everyone who has common sense should know that it's not exclusive to Sony.
Again, GDC is not a fan event.We are not attending E3 but we will share our passion and love for games in dozens event throughout the year.
Shame that Sony wont be able to do any of that this year. This of course isnt their fault, but I sure hope they do something else for their fanbase.
As CONSUMERS we have the RIGHT to know the info that they were going to SHOW TO US!!!
I say if we don't still get the INFO, we CONSUMERS should RISE UP and SCREAM at SONY for the INFORMATION we have the RIGHT to KNOW!!!!!!
WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?vbvbvbvbcbcbcbvbvbv

I am so glad this is sarcasm because there are people out there who seriously think like this
PAX isnt there to show new things but let people demo stuff.That is what I was hoping.

Are.. are you sure it is? Cause, like, I can never be sure anymore.
How does it matter? Isnt it likely (like 99% likely) we would get something from PlayStation out of whole GDC?
You should hold it, but I would caution you to carry a taser and pepper spray.
