And like Astro Bot, it's also cool to see Lucas Pope and his Obra Dinn nominated.

She is just promoting the diversity of the studio. I don't see why that has to be taken as discrimination against others.
And yes, we're all human but some of us are at more of a disadvantage than others.
I think they're just flaunting their diversity so women and non-binaries feel more comfortable joining. It's smarter to widen your pool of hires as big as possible for a business. Also, good luck with the Era reaction. You're gonna need it.
Is it really diversity if one group of people make up a majority of the studio? :D Haha I kid but I think promoting people individually is more beneficial. Have no problem with this though I'm sure they deserve their positions as hard working, talented individuals.
May I suggest stepping back to think about this before digging yourself into a deeper hole?
Hint: the gaming industry has historically been overwhelmingly dominated by men. Someone mentioning the fact that they've got a lot of diversity in their team is a good thing and should be celebrated. As opposed to your take on the matter.
He's being sarcastic. You guys are being taken for a ride.
Going by what Shawn Layden said about them not having anything to show in June, it'll be sometime later in the year. Probably sometime from September - December would be my guess. Maybe they'll have one big PSX conference this time?
Around the new fiscal year? So maybe start of April. Well at least I hope.
Hmm, wouldn't that be too close to a hypothetical PS5 reveal event? They revealed the PS4 in February. Or maybe I'm clueless and we're going to have one PSX for the ages.
PSX late in the year with a PS5 reveal teaser at the end (just show a quick compilation of PS5 games, like 2 secs a game) with a date at the end would be dope. Still would suck though if we have to go that long without some big info.
PSX2019 should end with all the startup sounds in a row and finish with a couple of seconds of silence with the lights out and then the PS5 startup sound with the date of the reveal event.
Well I imagine their PSX content would be strictly PS4 games, so it wouldn't matter.
People will go insane if we'll have to wait that much to learn more about the big 3, lol. Maybe Sony will bamboozle us and just announce some release date on their blog.
They're never ever going to reveal a piece of PlayStation hardware outside of a PlayStation Meeting. I don't know why people keep thinking they would reveal it at other events.
So they have finished their game and instead of letting temporary people go they are actually hiring? Sony is confident in the game's success and wants the studio to grow?
Shawn has publicly stated that around thr time of e3 they wont have anything to show (more like not enough). Them doing some show before e3 wouldnt give much sense. They already explained why they are not on e3 this year. No need to lie about nothing to show... if we dont get something until september, I am expecting just blog posts and then PSX.
It's probably reviewing well internally. Sony trusts Days Gone will meet sales expectations.
I think the whole "Sony has nothing for E3" thing is being perceived too literally.
I mean, if Sony absolutely wanted to - they could've gone another year with Big Three (GoT/DS/TLOU2) and padded out the rest with third-party games. The read-in of why they're skipping E3 is due to the fact that they have nothing significant or interesting to make from a new reveal/announcement perspective, either due to genuine lack of stuff to announce this year - or that every other project is on PS5 and E3 isn't their timeline to reveal PS5 yet.
I definitely think that we'll see the next update for the Q4 2019/Q1 2020 games for any of the Big Three in a non-E3 related presentation, something that they could do without the pressure of "btw, here's also 2-3 new AAA game announcements that is expected at an E3 level show"

In the games industry that is a rariety, definitely something to give some positive attention to.
Maybe it's earlier too? The problem with E3 was not only did they rush announcements but they also held them back just so it could be saved for a show. Their wording just made it seem like they didn't like having to show everything off at once.
Yeah I keep seeing people repeat that. They also have a lot of third party exclusives they can show more of like Nioh 2, Granblue fantasy, some Square exclusives etc.
It should be phrased as "Sony doesn't have anything they want to announce at the moment". They aren't at E3 because people expect big announcements and the timing isn't right for that at the moment.
I was of the opinion they should have quarterly showcases back when this was first announced. Clearly, I was very wrong.
Edit:
I also thought the new launch of the PS Blog would lead to something. Also wrong.

Going by what Cory and other devs have implied about E3, getting a game demo for the show is extremely stressful and takes up time and resources. That's why I'm fine with more publishers skipping E3 and showing stuff when it's truly ready, which in turn, prevents their stuff from getting overshadowed by other competitors and able to go more in depth with.
They even said that at one point. I think Shawn did an interview talking about people expecting big announcements and they want to avoid that for now.
Personally I'm fine, we know what they have coming out with the big and small stuff first party games to the end of the gen. They'll secure some more third party stuff as a way to pad stuff up. I'm sure though that the other studios are on the ps5 train now already so they can't talk about it in conferences and is why they are not going to want to show anything anywhere until they can show the system and some games being worked on (horizon 2).
I'm thinking the same. A PS Meeting in Feb next year would be awesome.
Sony is in a very complicated situation on the matter of events. Canceling PSX for a second year in a row would be pretty strange, but if the PSX does not have anything new/interesting, they may also send the wrong message.
If they really don't do anything during the year to leave everything for a PSX/PS Meeting. It's good that they deliver some bombs.

Great post.
Another good post with a good eye on things.
I think KojiPro and Sony are designing the marketing roll out plans around DS right now.
Kojima probably has some weird and wild marketing ideas so global planning needs to go accordingly
