Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios |OT4| Because we're skipping 3

We don't I was just saying I was keeping my expectations in check thinking 5.
Because they said they won't have a showcase at E3 or around E3.
It was just the big presser at E3. They know people expect big things and they don't want to have a show like that if they can't deliver.
For that unannounced second party game, it isn't enough to hold a big show on its own but it can serve as the big announcement for a SoP sometime around E3. Of course, it doesn't have to be announced at that point but I was more pondering when they will feel the need to reveal it. It would have to be at a SoP assuming they don't do a big presser this year.
With no around E3, maybe they meant a showcase like the pre E3 event last year were Astro Bot got announced.
But will make a studio show somewhere else.
I'm sure they have meant a showcase in general. And it makes sense. A small State of Play around E3 will get killed by the big E3 announcements. Too much media coverage. But 2 months before or after E3? Sure why not.
Well either;
A) The game(s)/announcement(s) gets overshadowed by the actual E3, or
B) It highlights that Sony still acknowledge the significance of E3, which raises the question of why they didn't attend, which overshadows the game(s)/announcement(s).
Sony aren't going to E3 and they have to own that, like 'What? E3? That old thing? Does anyone still show up for that?'
They have told us why. They don't have enough new first party content and they want to hype their own shows like PSX and now State of Play. Almost every Sony studio is working on a PS5 game.
I expect a release date announcement from Concrete Genie at the very least since that's a Sony game slated for Spring, and it's already spring. We've seen next to nothing about this game. It should be there. Right? That's not big, right?
I don't think E3 is entirely irrelevant to them now. It just isn't relevant for them this year. They'll be back in 2020 for PS5.
I'd see a SoP next to E3 as a way to keep PS news out there and for them to do it on their own terms. A single unannounced AAA game wouldn't be enough reason to hold an E3 presser. So, they could do a SoP around June/July for it. This is assuming the game is ready to be announced and that they'll be ready for another SoP within 3-4 months from now.
Right!
It is exactly the type of game I would expect to be there.
I can see State of Play being late June, September and early January after New Years.

OK I know I'm late to the party on this news that CD Project Red will have a second AAA RPG title out by 2021, but who else is thinking it could be a Sony game after that mysterious business about the PS YouTube channel posting several videos on CDPR? Speculation I know, but Sony is known to seek exclusives from large third party devs and it might help to explain those videos that came out of nowhere.
It being an exclusive for the PS5 might also explain why CDPR isn't willing to share any real info on the game other than its genre and a deadline for release. I mean we've known Cyberpunk existed for many years, why keep this one a secret when it's due out in 2 years?

After the success of Witcher 3 CDPR is probably too big to develop a AAA game that is exclusive to one of the platforms.
Wasn't there a time when a Rockstar was to make an exclusive for Playstation? Didn't work out of course but it still happened.
Wasn't Final Fantasy VS 13 supposed to be a ps3 exclusive? I'd say Square and the FF franchise are big enough to count. Of course like the poster above said it didn't work out in this case either but I definitely wouldn't be surprised.
What happened was Tretton revealed that R* is developing an exclusive game to PS3. There are plenty of 3rd party games announced as an exclusive title but they eventually end up releasing on competing consoles/PC after the initial launch. It's difficult to say what was going on with the Agent and the deal between Rockstar and Sony, since the game was never released.
The studio announced CP2077 to attract talent and this happened before The Witcher 3 was released.
There is no need to reveal their 2nd AAA game. What would be the incentive to do so? Especially since everyone is drooling over CP2077.

PSNow is discounted on amazon US down to 60$ a year, maybe this is related to state of play? anyway really good price imo. one month and 3 month prices havent changed.

Wow that is super cheap. I thought the $80 during christmas was a decent deal, this equates $5 a month!
ugh hopefully this isn't an error because I WILL be purchasing friday.
Microsoft buying the marketing rights from their games' publishers is strong connections now?
Witcher 2 was also a console exclusive for Xbox 360 and never came to PS3.

Hm I wasn't initially convinced by the idea of Playstation Directs but that format was alright. Was still a bit short and maybe they could have gone into a bit more detail with some of the games.
When they start having more substantial things to show from the bigger games I think this could work out pretty well. They still need an E3 type event for their big game reveal announcements though.

As far as I'm concerned Sony might as well have just announced all this stuff on the PlayStation Blog spread out over a week or two.
Eh, if they want to get people on an online forum excited, they need to bring the AA japanese games.
A dev diary for that Iron Man game would have been nice as a way to give us a better understanding of what it's all about, who the devs are, etc. Most probably haven't ever heard of the studio before.
