Daniel Ahmad (ZhugeEX) : With E3 cancelled, the first proper next gen console/games showcase will be much earlier.
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
It's fair to say the PS4 is an extremely popular and successful console that has sold over 100 million units, and thus any news about the successor to the PS4 is inherently going to garner a ton of hearts, or likes, or whatever the kids are giving things these days.
ResetEra itself is a microcosm of this. A thread about the PS5's controller will garner 140+ pages of fan engagement in a week. Why? Because Sony have over twice the marketshare and mindshare Xbox has right now. Lots of fans, lots of chatter.
Hence Sony could post a logo, and it'll break records or whatever. Not really a reflection of whether the marketing folks are knocking it out of the park, either way.
But as I type this I've also realized I don't really care about this debate at all, so I'll end it here, lol. Debating which corporation is selling you their new widget the slickest is just... man. I think I need to go outside and look at nature for a bit, haha.
What does that have to do with Sony having their event online inMay?
that said I'm stoked if we get it even a few weeks earlier than a mid-June reveal per usual for console reveal yeats
So something "May" be coming soon to take gamer's minds off the Covid "19" situation for awhile, ehh?
Handle it like Nintendo does for third-party companies in their Directs. We've already seen this with Sony's State of Play streams.
Yep. But i feel Sony will capitalise on MS going early. Sony's digital event will already be produced and they will press the upload button the minute MS event finishes. Sony know that anything they do will drown out any "messaging" by MS.
I highly doubt Sony is gonna lose so much mindshare given they've always been the market leaders in every gen besides last, and any news they drop gets a lot of buzz and attention. That controller design spread like wildfire. And lets some people lose interest, once the game trailers drop, people who lost interest will very likely be brought back into the hype
Yup. God damn they are tight-lipped on that game.
My hope:
Halo Infinite multiplayer reveal in May, Campaign reveal in June.
If those were the most important metrics I'd have the Jeremy Corbyn socialist government of my dreams right now :-(
No. They've been saying this a while and each time it reads like they want Sony to slap their dick about Phil's face
Next-gen console reveals have reportedly shifted in the wake of E3’s cancellation | VGC
“Some are now much earlier, others much later…

Nobody is going early. I honestly don't think either company needs to react to the other... the people who want the info will get it regardless of who goes first.
Or you know, you could just wait and see? Everything in-engine so far has looked far beyond what we've seen this generation. It's kinda weird that you're trying to undermine a game we've basically seen nothing of.
You're vastly underestimating the amount of resources and years that have been poured into Halo Infinite despite being cross gen relative to next gen launch exclusives. It's highly likely Halo will be one of, If not the most impressive looking game on next gen on launch compared to games that release on launch and are next gen exclusives.
Likewise with Cyberpunk 2077.
Likewise with The Last of US 2.
Because we all know this is a game right and companies pre-record digital events like that and wait for the opponent to reveal first to then strike back.... Not like they are each following their own timeline.
There is no battle for stealing the opponent's thunder or drowning them with you own messaging, this thread reads like kids at grade school arguing console wars!

I don't know anything about next-gen reveals unfortunately. I hope it's early May though I'm tired of waiting.
Tom Phillips seems to be suggesting more spaced out announcements due to delays from COVID rather than earlier announcements with a heavy implication a lot of E3 announcements would be delayed past the original E3 deadline.
I guess Sony or MS could show off the hardware in May but not the games until after when E3 is supposed to be.
Otherwise this rumor makes little sense considering things are getting pushed back rather than forward.
