Because PS4 was wholly distinct from PS3 in library. PS5 won't be from PS4.
The hottest PS5 games are already announced. Yeah, a new R&C here, a Demon's Souls remaster there, but not like previous transitions.
MS are doing it too, Halo is cross-gen without question.
if it aint broke dont fix it ya know?
Its not a financially unstable studio
theres no reason for Insomniac to be bought IMO
Not that id mind if Sony did get them, it just doesnt seem there is a reason for them to not do what theyre doing now
Why would they announce that they're not doing E3 in November? That's ridiculous. They wouldn't say a thing about that until March or April -- assuming it's even true to begin with.
No need we already know what's up. No E3 makes perfect sense onto what's going on. ;_;
No E3 for Sony makes sense if TLOU2/Death Stranding/Ghost... are not ready for 2019. I do believe that some of the games (if not all) will be cross-gen or directly released only on the Ps5, and maybe Sony doesn't want to host another E3 with the same games again and will focus on releasing Ps5 with those games ASAP.
I want to see more of their upcoming games, but the sentiment in other camps is "lol what are they gonna show? The same 3 games again?"
Their E3 showed first gameplay of Tsushima, Death Stranding AND Last of Us 2.
Yet some felt Xbox had a stronger showing, which they did because of third parties, despite their first party being more Gears, more Halo and a Battletoads without any footage.
Missing out E3 is in their best interest if they only have the same games to show yet again, even if on paper it's a more impressive lineup than the competition.
Playground Games wasn't broken either, yet MS bought them. Why can't Sony buy Insomniac?
I just think it would create a lot of uncertainty among players like we see in this very thread. Some would expect PS5 for 2019, some for 2020. Some would be worried there are no new games in the horizon etc.
Don't big corps have to announce their E3 plans far in advance though? Maybe not as early as November, but... early!
Not too early.
PS1 -> PS2 = 6 years.
PS2 -> PS3 = 6 years.
PS3 -> PS4 = 7 years (only due to delay).
The moment to moment life of this thread has been great today. I'm getting nervous, hope news come out soon, I still expect nothing of consequence.
I have no idea what the news is, but it seems kind of weird that everyone is putting so much stock into an anonymous PS4 Reddit post that gained no traction from someone nobody knows, and then used that to determine the launch date for the PS5 is 2019 even though they'd have a ton to show next E3 if the PS5 were releasing in 2019.
I make this post knowing that it'll look really hilarious if that Reddit post is legit and PS5 is releasing next year, but I mean... maybe don't freak out so much over it yet?
Games took a year to make during the PS1 generation. It's different now where a developer likely isn't getting three - four games in a single series out in a single generation, so six years doesn't seem that long considering how ambitious games are.
My opinion, anyway.
Not unless the no E3 announcement was followed by some good news. To simply announce "no E3" now will only lead to months of speculation that will be tough for them to stay ahead of.
It says: "Sony is not going to appear in the E3 next year; official announcement tomorrow". It's a reddit (?) thread.
"You know what's coming, we gave nothing new to annnounce and will focus on our already announced lineup"
The same games that had gameplay demonstrations last E3 but still didn't make their show good enough for some.
It would be better for them to not have a show this year.
Sony can't afford a year without any new announcements. Even if team 2020 is right, E3 2019 would be the perfect place to at least hint at PS5.
But is that even true? As far as we know TLOU2, Ghost and DS are all for PS4. Why not just show those games again? New footage, this time with a release date. And I'm sure there's more. It's Sony we're talking about, it's like these guys never run out of games.
I don't think they needed to be bought either, but it all depends on the studio culture too.
If they want their independence, that shouldn't be forced
I don't remember any E3 plans being announced this early. You usually start hearing about conferences and stuff a few months before when press invites go out, etc.
If they're not going then they'll definitely be planning that privately, but I don't understand why they'd announce it unless they're trying to get communication out ahead of leaks, etc.
Even if it did leak, I still feel like they'd say they haven't announced their E3 plans yet.
Maybe in place of e3, Sony is moving towards a Nintendo Direct like model? The ramifications for next generation might be all three platform holders forgoing e3 in favor of curated shows that they control?
Did Zhuge hint that this is going to be bad news? Even if they miss e3 I'm sure they will host another conference on their own.
Or announce it 7 months in advance or on the 5th anniversary......
Because it fits with the idea that there'd be waves of discussion as to what's happening with next-gen. As these last two pages prove, in fact.
I need Sony E3 2019 to happen only because of The Last of Us Part II release date (and hopefully windows for Tsushima and Stranding), if Sony is not hosting a conference on E3, then TLOU misses 2019. My bet.
That said, I'm 99% convinced they will be at E3, this sounds like nonsense to me but I've been wrong many times.

They've shown Ghost/TLoU/Death gameplay ONCE... They showed God of War and Horizon twice at E3, Spider-Man thrice and Days Gone three times as well. This "they will skip E3 if it's again focusing on those three" narrative is DUMB.
Better, longer demos on those, an indie game/VR sizzle reel, some surprise PS PLUS game dropping on the show and the usual third party stuff and a brief teaser for something like Horizon 2 or something is MORE than enough for an E3 showing.

Well a big reason is that it's expensive and it takes away from teams actually working on the game and making "E3 demos" for PR stuff...
