I'd put it closer to 6m - maybe 8m. Should do 3m in it's first week or two then onto the Christmas shopping season.I think Spider-Man will sell at least 3 million by the end of the year.
I understood that reference.I think Spider-Man will sell at least 3 million by the end of the year.
I think they will skip PGW and do a conference at PSX (like in 2016). Last year, PGW was just one week before the launch of the Xbox One X, but this year they have no reason to do a conference in October.I expect a press conference at PGW which will include from SIE WWS. As for PSX we can only speculate now. They can either decide to have only panels and livestream from the showfloor or go back to a keynote that focus on indies and third parties. I don't expect anything first party related at the keynote like 2015.
Wasn't a press conference at PSX in request by Naughty Dog?I think they will skip PGW and do a conference at PSX (like in 2016). Last year, PGW was just one week before the launch of the Xbox One X, but this year they have no reason to do a conference in October.
The real question is: Do we need them in order to make a point in the sales discussion of Spider-Man PS4?
I still want them.The real question is: Do we need them in order to make a point in the sales discussion of Spider-Man PS4?
I don't think so.
GoW sales surprised the heck out of me... but that doesnt change the fact, that when 10 kids walk into game store, 9 of them will choose spider-man game over everything... and lets be real, most of us will do the same. It may not outsell Gow in its first month/3 months, but long term... cmon, it will be selling everytime some kid walks up into store and sees that red flag amongst other games.. sony and insomniac knew what they were doing with that cover... it really doesnt have to be good. it just needs to catch your eye... rest will be easy, its fucking spider-man, biggest comic book IP and pretty much number 1 comic book character all around the world.
Every kid will know about this game by christmas either from youtube, their friends, other media or just because of seeing the game in every single store, probably next to to sweets in their local shop (:P ok, you know what I mean) so we know number one christmas wish/gift for many of youngsters - buy me PS4 with spiderman... good luck parents :P
Shu said TGS is the next event for a press conference during the E3 week. No plans to talk about the rest of the year. Nothing was set in stone. There was ChinaJoy with localized games and China Hero Project he didn't mentioned. But the question he got from the interviewer was probably SIE WWS related since he is president of first party games.

Just a reminder: They have canceled Tsutomu Kouno's speech at SGC

That presentation they made last year won't they do again with the backlash they got after.
In 2015, Sony had four conferences, but it was too much. So in 2016 and 2017, Sony had only three conferences (E3, TGS and PSX in 2016, E3, TGS and PGW in 2017). It will probably be the same this year.Wasn't a press conference at PSX in request by Naughty Dog?
How do you explain 2015. Big update from SIE WWS and announcements. If TGS will indeed announce new console games since 2015 they will bring that update to PGW. Plus we are still waiting for Manchester Studio's big VR project. We need an update on WiLD. It's been three years since we saw it. MediEvil Remake handled by xDev based in Europe. Dreams needs a update on the beta release.
But we have to wait and see. If they announce a press conference at PGW then that will be the last major event of the year for announcements from SIE WWS.
I don't know if Spider-Man will be bigger than God of War, that's not an easy task itself, but Spider-Man appeals to kids more than God of War ever will, so it can bring in the "family" audience to the PS4 in a way that no other SIE WWS exclusive can.
i thought they already stated this is a mature peter that works as a scientist? likelihood of a pizza delivery mission is very low
Get outta here y'all got pgw Xp
Yes, somewhere in the Netherlands so I can attend :)
So I've been looking at the current best sellers for Amazon UK for upcoming games, specifically about the September releases:
#1 - Spider-Man
#2 - Red Dead Redemption 2 (October, but the hype is real)
#3 - FIFA 19
#7 - Spyro Trilogy Reignited
#51 - Shadow of the Tomb Raider
#98 - Dragon Quest XI
Nice to see Spider-Man doing well. DQ being low makes sense due to the franchise not being popular the UK. Shadow of the Tomb Raider being so low actually shocked me a little as Tomb Raider games tend to do well in the UK. The Xbox version didn't rank in the top #100, so not sure where that places.
Hey nice gif, I've played ALOT of Horizon but I've never tried sliding under the larger machines and dealing damage that way. Seems like a viable combat tactic. So thanks for the gif; beyond just looking great, they hold some good information too.

I don't really the comparison. There wasn't that much demand for a Dark Souls remaster because it was already available on PC at 60fps and we we never going to get much more from a remaster. Demon's Souls, on the other hand, has had quite a bit of demand even before the servers went down, because it's "stuck" on a last gen system and a remaster could offer some relatively simple improvements to the resolution and framerate.Looking at DS remaster sales... i dont think it would be such a good idea. I hope they are actually dping something else than DS.
You're looking at this all wrong. They didn't host a PGW 2017 conference because it was right before the X launch, they skipped PGW 2016 because SIEE were in charge of PS Meeting 2016 where they unveiled the PS4 Pro. Otherwise, Sony have been hosting European conferences for the last decade, there's no reason to believe that's suddenly changed.I think they will skip PGW and do a conference at PSX (like in 2016). Last year, PGW was just one week before the launch of the Xbox One X, but this year they have no reason to do a conference in October.
Why?In 2015, Sony had four conferences, but it was too much. So in 2016 and 2017, Sony had only three conferences (E3, TGS and PSX in 2016, E3, TGS and PGW in 2017). It will probably be the same this year.
The question is : PGW or PSX ? Yes, Sony Europe have a lot to show, but PSX is their own event. Sony don't need to be at the PGW, but they need to do a better PSX than last year.
Be sure to let us know if anything particular stands out! Especially if you do get some time with some VR games I always enjoy reading about people's vr experiencesSo I'll be at Gamescom and have a press ticket. Surely Spider-Man is a game I will play. Hope will find time to play VR-games, too.
And yeah, many other games, too. This will be insane.
Why?
I know that for many E3 was a bit disappointing, but that was mostly due to a snafu in the format itself.
PSX is a fan event, and even if it has a live streamed event it's mostly a smaller scale thing (which blew up a bitndie to the TLOU2 reveal).
Imo, they -have- to do PGW so that the message to their EU fans isn't "Well, sorry that you aren't in the US or Asia, but at the same time we kinda take you for granted".
GoW is the fastest selling PlayStation exclusive ever, some of you need to think of that for a little before talking about Spider-Man outselling it, I mean sure it has the potential if the popularity is translated into sales but we have no proof of that.
Not yet. I highly recommend going though! PSX is amazing and quite easily the best convention to go to in my opinion.Is PSX already dated?
I'll be moving to Long Beach in two weeks and should be much closer to the event this time. :D
Definitely sounds like he's going back to work on God of War instead of a new IP.
I'm just making an educated guess based on "return to the fires whence I came." Maybe I'm looking too far into it.
