The world needs more insiders like it needs more furries and lawyers.
For better or worse, Sony seems to be extremely tight on leaks. What's the last time something noteworthy from Sony leaked in advance?
Dreams was once a 2016 game. Delays happen. All the time.
That's why Sony is very careful with giving out release dates. They did not even dare to mention the year of release for those 3 titles.
I won't be surprised if Days Gone and Dreams would be their only titles this year.
Recently, I'd say.
Benji teased a new unannounced major PS4 game from Sony.
Kinda wish more people would leak stuff about it, lol
NeoGAF had way more Sony leakers, for whatever reason.
I don't think Sony is tighter now, it's just that the people who used to leak stuff aren't doing it anymore, like Benji knows there is still a major unannounced exclusive but not saying anything about it.
Yo for real this place is full of Nintendo ones where the damn Sony guys go
Depends how it is bundled. If the game is in the box as part of an official bundle, no. If the bundle is being done by a store (or even being bankrolled by a platform holder), basically yes.
It largely comes down to if an individual game's SKU is scanned.
They got lost in the sauce.
Or probably never bothered migrating from GAF to ERA.
Yeah, really wonder when that's gonna be announced, was expecting it at The Game Awards.
Do you really want the cycle of hype then disappointment over and over. Era Nintendo insiders haven't been exactly a role model of accuracy that any would want.
by insiders if you mean folks that cagely tease games and make it as vague as possible and sound like they know something and don't say shit even if they're not under NDA and just do it for attention, I could do without em tbh.
We have those in spades already. Give me gopher d style poems back
or a ntkrnl blowout. wew remember that?
Sony fans clamoring for insiders/leaks like we don't have a wealth of exclusives on PS4 already released and upcoming in the next year or two
You tryna die fam?
Hey, don't talk shit about Nintendo insiders on ResetEra!
You tryna die fam?
We know they're coming, but we also want to know when they're releasing. It doesn't make them release faster, but I like to know the release date for irrational reasons.
I will be the insider that you guys want.
Sony will announce a new game this year.
Unless things change and they wont.
There you go. Feel free to go wild with this tease.

It's a hill I'm willing to die for. Plus it's not like I responded to an insider or posted in a thread fill of them to count as "harassment". Although, I saw someone got warned for even making a light hearted joke about insiders on Era. So you would never know lol.
Now that you are here, Matt. Please, give us something.
Make a thread.
I'm good with no leaks. That's why PGW 2017 was my one of my favorite conferences. Ghost of Tsushima, Concrete Genie, Blood & Truth, and Erica were all nice surprises.
Yea, GoT came outta no where.
That they managed to keep that a secret is pretty commendable.
God of War: 12 nominations
Marvel's Spider-Man: 11 nominations
Detroit: Become Human: 4 nominations
ASTRO BOT Rescue Mission: 4 nominations
MLB The Show 18: 1 nomination
Quite impressive for one publisher.
just to clarify, are you specifically referring to spiderman bundles (because of marvel), or to every sony bundle? because i remember reading the same about not counting bundles but only for spiderman, or is this a change in how sony counts sales from now on?
Interesting... that sits close to my prediction of September for Death Stranding and November for TLoU Part II. Ghost of Tsushima being February 2020. Dreams releasing in December sounds wayyyyy off though. What I've been playing of the beta doesn't scream to me "needs almost 12 more months in the oven".
GT Sport is a Gran Turismo game before it's a "sports" game. GT is one of their biggest IPs, so yeah I believe that Sony is not adverse to launching games around that time, as and when they wish. Circumstances with the development of certain games has meant that some are delayed past that time frame. It's not because they have explicitly chosen earlier in the year as being a particularly superior strategy. Percentages don't necessarily dictate the whole picture, but still, there have been more games (and non-sports games) released between October and January than the ones you listed. They chose to release one of their most important games EVER in November (delayed to December): The Last Guardian.
Localisation and QA is one of the last phases in the game development. I'm not saying that they're 100% finished, but that they would not have started this process if it wouldn't be ready to ship within 12 months (roughly the average time it takes). I don't think playability has anything to do with this.
Days Gone will sell fuckloads in the 7 or so months before I think TLoU Part II will hit. There's not much to back up your view that the majority will ignore Days Gone. The marketing hasn't even fully began yet, and if it's as good as a game as I think you've said you believe it's going to be, it will be getting enough attention for that reason. Microsoft is happy to release Halo in the holidays alongside the plenty other big third-party shooters. I would not call 3 games in the "survival action horror genre" as oversaturated, and since when is there not a reason to release anticipated games because they kinda fall under the same genre?
You said it yourself that a game being playable doesn't mean something it anywhere close to being finished. You can have a game playable in its entirety without levels being completely designed or with things needing to being reworked or story not being at all fleshed out, or gameplay mechanics not working as they should, or it being generally unpolished.
Lots of tenuous theory material there. We have no concrete details on reasons for delay other than ones that Sony and its dev teams gave. Saying something like game delays are done on purpose is a tinfoil theory. Just because you believe something is the reason doesn't mean you have some how "figured it out".
Okay, but that's not really something that tends to happen. If a game is on schedule and has a release date, Sony isn't going to delay that several months because of another game that was delayed.
How are you 100% certain?
I don't think Sony has really released a big first-party game in the same month following on from E3, other than The Last of Us and again, they're not going to delay a game to E3 because they want to make a splash. It's PlayStation's 25th anniversary this year, there's rumblings that PS5 will be announced this year, and they have tons of PS4 content to account for, and more PS4 games to announce. They're not going to go 1.5 years without a major show, these things considered.
It didn't really do that though. Sony releases games as and when they want.

Pretty sure Sony always counts the bundled sales whenever they report numbers (there is no reason to not to, everyone else even does the same), NPD when reporting the monthly charts doesn't count them though which I'm guessing is what he's talking about.
Um you forgot about the studio acquisition they're planning. You know, the studio that rhymes with "naive"?
Talking about NPD/other reporting outfits. Sony of course has access to all types of data, and can report things however they want.
I'd rather that than apathy.
Sony just needs to actually communicate something.
Ah alright this makes sense. I thought the question was originally in relation to the spidey 9 million units, but NPD makes more sense. Thanks.
Oh yeah. Also something that will 100% totally happen.
Unless it doesn't.
So I will have a 100% right track record with my leaks.
Ok, which brings me to this: does the 9 millions sold-through units achieved by Spider-Man include the bundles too or is it only the game that is calculated in the NPD results?
If I were Sony, I would make a proposal to bring this guy into the WWS (maybe even creating a new studio under his command). This video is freaking awesome.
He left Activision last month saying he wanted to create new things.

We pretty much know they're working on the PS5 and are focusing on it's launch for next year sometime, there's just not much to communicate at the moment really.
I mean in this case I don't mind dealing with a bit of fake news to get some true news. At least it would give us some excitement.
We're just talking about games afterall.
I'm sure they could figure something out. For example, instead of a cryptic "dw there'll be something next year" and leave us in the dark for months just tell us there'll be an event to showcase the games early in the year.
Quintin Cobb (one of the known employees of the new San Diego team/studio) replied to that Tweet as well
That would be fair, but I don't think we'll get such an event.
At most I expect a Playstation Experience near the holidays.
I don't see Sony even bothering with a press event this year. If they had substantial information to be shown in the first 6-9 month's they'd have something for E3, or a Direct style thing during E3.
If they want to show some stuff in December they may as well wait until early next year and show it during the PS5 reveal.
