Love the support PSVR is getting. Hopefully get some more aim controller supported games announced.
Sure, but I mean the nature of this announcement. They're all supposed to be first party titles, right?
Can't see anything megaton huge appearing at PGW - surely the real juice will be kept for PSX.
That said I'm curious at the way they have characterised this. 21 "game updates" including "7 new PS4/VR titles" in the pre-show livestream? Okay, fine, that's becoming a familiar MO, but to say nothing of the main briefing is...odd.
Not sure I subscribe to the view that if that's the pre-show, the main briefing will be even bigger. I hope I'm wrong but I'm suspicious that first reveals in the main briefing will be very limited/entirely absent. Sure I expect them to show us some cool stuff, but cool new stuff? Not convinced.

It's absurd to assume all the announces are first-party, much less necessarily an exclusive.
It'll be a mix of first-party, third-party, indies for PS4/PSVR. If Sony has a platform to announce games, why wouldn't partner titles take advantage of the timing.
Sony has rarely ever described or hinted to the kind of content that will be on their main-stage briefings, ever.
The reason why this pre-show got so much detail is pretty obvious. Sony wants to make their pre-show a thing, but it was ignored during E3 for assumptions that it'll have nothing of merit/will just be talking heads hyping up the conference.
So emphasising early on that the pre-show will have updates AND new stuff will get people paying attention.
I don't expect Sony to be this detailed again next time, once they've set a precedent that their pre-shows will have new content worth tuning in to.

Where is the assumption it's only first party titles come from and where's the assumption only psx will hold AAA or worthwhile game announcements?
2015 for pgw was pretty good
Matterfall
Wild
Gt sport
Detriot
Boundless
Robinson the journey
Tekken 7 officially announced for a console

Just out of curiosity, but why is everyone clamoring suddenly for DMC5 to appear at this? It's not just on here but Gamefaqs as well. It's a bit random is all.
These press conferences are only as good as Sony wants them to be. And frankly, each one of them have a stake on the table.
You think that Jim Ryan wants to host a terrible show with lousy content? If he can't get a good platform to showcase SIEE properly, they woud rather just skip having a conference altogether, just like last year.

I would hope lessons learned from 2015 which had a fairly weak PSG and PSX.
I'm wondering if the launch of the Xbone X has anything to do with having the conference this year?
Good points. Memory playing tricks on me clearly.
I'm mainly just salty I'll miss the entire thing due to being in work.
Should we hold our breath for a Ps4 Pro Pro?
On another note, I don't even know if I can keep getting my hopes up for Kingdom Hearts anymore. My hype can only be stretched so thin.
Nah, I don't think we'll see a PS4 Pro^2. At best, we'll see a Pro slim sometime next year. Mayyybe we'll see an official price cut across the board in the wake of the XB1X's release.
They seem to like announcing Yakuza games at PlayStation Experience. Good bet it'll be announced there instead of at PGW
I think it's probably the other way around actually. Last year's PSX gave us MvC:I which was a multiplatform game. I don't remember many third party multiplat announcements form PGW 2015.
People are losing their minds lol
Honestly, you should not expect DMC5 at PGW no matter what. Like, I wouldn't expect to see it here even if it was already announced.
Yep i would like to see some more of Wild looks cool.
Still think is to soon, Kiwami 2 only releases in Japan in december, not to mention they still have to sell Yakuza 6 next year.
Based Layden. What he's saying is exactly why I love Playstation ever since the PSX days. I'm just can't get into any F2P, GaaS, microtransaction ridden bullshit.
Looking at how slick and slim the One X turned out I'm kind of bummed about the Pro's size. A PS4 Pro slim would be great, but since I have a Pro already I probably wouldn't buy it :P
I dream with you ... !
And where in the world are you getting that from? Do you think all of Sony's conferences are just about their first party?
The nature of the announcement really seemed like they were focusing solely on their own titles.
I dont wanna be that guy but does 'new game announcements' actually means what we think it means? What if they show a new character in Detroit for example. Isnt that seen as a new game announcement? The 'new' could mean that the announcement is new... not the game. Lol maybe i'm reading too much into it. I would expect them to say the words 'new games reveals'...

14 are supposed to updates which fall into line of what you said.
7 are supposed be new.

People mentioning WiLD, I had completely forgotten about that game but it would be a perfect fit for PGW. I think anything from Sonys US based teams (Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bend) would be saved for E3 OR PSX. But I have high hopes any European based studios could be good candidates for reveals at this event. Interested to see how Dreams is shaping up. I'm guessing new reveals will be smaller titles and some VR stuff.
That's the thing though, you can't compare the development of Dreams to other games imo. It's a game that is also capable of creating entirely new games, in any genre, any kind of perspective, in any style you can imagine and not just games but also music and movies. Expecting this to work with no problems within 24 months is how you get crap like Project Spark. As bad as I want Dreams I want them to take as much time as possible, there's literally no one else that makes the type of games they do at the quality they do. It taking a long time doesn't = they're having problems, especially when they've been so open about the games development and progress.
All the gloom and doom talk or "concern" around Dreams is unwarranted if you ask me.
I've been pretty impressed with the software support as well, but I'm still holding out hope for Colony Wars. A proper space combat cockpit sim with an actual, full-length single player campaign should have been available much earlier in PSVR's life, and I'm still surprised we don't have a major title that does this. I know End Space tried to fill the void, but it shows its budget roots.
Give me more Co-op campaign VR games, Arizona &a Farpoint was so much fun with a friend.
Nothing tops Resi 7 though, What an experience that was!

All they said was they were announcing 7 new games.....at their pre conference show. The only real difference from their other conferences is that they're actually hyping up this conference, they're tweeting about it every day, which they don't usually do.
Also, the 7 announcements are for the pre-show, like Sony's E3 2017 pre show. We got PlayLink games, which are exclusive, but they're really meh. The other announcements were all multiplats, games like Tropico, Undertale etc.
Hoping for more solid, non-gimmick-based PSVR games. Mine's been collecting dust ever since finishing Rez Infinite and RE7.
Yeah lol, they don't do that usually. That's what gave me my impression. Well, we'll know in a day and a half. If it's anything major, you'd probably start seeing curious trademarks begin popping up. Usually.
