Yeah, at this point it's really hard to predict anything from Sony. They could even reveal the PS5 in a SoP and it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm expecting to wake up tomorrow to the news of ps meeting announcement
I'm guessing the joke about Sony dropping news on a random Tuesday.

Especially if one of the PS5's big marketing bulletpoints are the haptic feedback controllers they've been touting.
Eventually, sure, but that doesn't need to happen for the initial unveiling. Nintendo successfully launched the Switch with a 3 minute trailer and a Jimmy Fallon appearance. I expect a PS Meeting for the record but I also think we're moving away from more traditional forms of marketing.
If you dream about that you've got too far to the deep end bud.
I really don't know what the hell their marketing strategy is supposed to be anymore. "Don't announce anything, don't talk about anything, let the competition completely build a negative narrative around you, and then occasionally give out bad news every couple of weeks" is certainly a strategy but I don't really see the goal behind it.
I say give DriftingSpirit a tag.
he is an insider that delivers
Yup, announcing this shit but not announcing a replacement is a great way to kill the hype.
For me, its this combined with the fact that they've been mostly silent late 2018. It's like they're taking marketing tips from WB Montreal.
I mean, that logo reveal was dumb. It was exactly the same logo with a different number at the end.
My only suspicion with Sony right now is that they seem to believe they have such a loyal fan base that it won't complain no matter what they do. Reminds me a bit of Apple with their consumers.
My guy DriftingSpirit is pound for pound one of the best insiders on this forum.
Really glad to see him finally get the recognition he deserves. Bless up
Ultimately the message was always there, last year Layden spoke at how in disagreement they were with the ESAbut we decided to believe it was because of lack or content and a one year only thing, probably because we really like Sony events.
Yes. Release is Q4 2020. I'm sure it'll at least come to PC sometime later but it's exclusive right now. Things like No More Heroes 3 or Deadly Premonition are timed exclusives yet they're also counted as exclusives so I see no reason why this isn't.
—There's going to be a playable demo at ARC Revo America 2019. Can you tell us what will be there?
Katano: "It won't have all the features, but you can get an overall feel of the game. Please look forward to future news regarding which characters you will be able to use. Also, while we have announced that it will be released for PlayStation 4, it is not a PlayStation 4-exclusive title. For more information such as other hardware, please look forward to further news in the future."
Regardless of how you feel about the decision, it's a bold move to not do E3 for the foreseeable future and I'd like to see if anyone else dares to follow.
I think it'll be a PS5 title as well, based on director Akira Katano's comment here:
No reason they couldn't announce an Xbox One or Switch version at the time of the interview, so PS5 is my logical deduction.
That's because it's probably not coming to them. Makes sense. Guilty Gear since Xrd has been console exclusive to PlayStation systems only. Only other platform being PC.
It's probably PS4/PS5/PC.
Yah I agree. PC version I think will be down the line like previous releases.
That was legendary, as were all the reversals that Sony did prior to the launch of the PS4. I remember they were reluctant to talk about used games on the PS4 whenever it was brought up, which made people expect that they wouldn't be allowed. Then at E3 they were like, nope, you can play used games on PS4. It's clear now that they were pulling a fast one on MS from the moment they started talking about PS4.I can only hope this announcement is a modern day Kaz "Why go first?" moment.
Wow that's crazy...Sony really killed it this gen, getting fighters as exclusive is harping back to PS2 days. I would try and keep PS4 alive and kicking for as long as possible.Yes.

Well, it's been a "while" since Sony had a meaningful long format presentation.
Ya'll are so fucking negative all the time in this place. They're making a monster of a console and have a huge 2020 lineup of games and all they've given is bad news. Can't stand this place sometimes.
🤣
I need actual new announcements if I'm going to be excited for anything. I'm not interested in the hypothetical promise of a console Sony still refuses to formally reveal because vaguely-defined tech specs mean nothing to me, and I don't care about any of their 2020 games.
Vague? By god, the beauty of Al Gore's internet is I don't have to be here.
You will get 20 more Uncharted and The Last of Us games. Here you go!I need actual new announcements if I'm going to be excited for anything.

You're going to get Nadine as the new Uncharted main character!I mean, I would take a Lost Legacy 2 as long as they write Nadine out (or recast her)...
You're going to get Nadine as the new Uncharted main character!
She better be sleeveless throughout the whole game! 😡You're going to get Nadine as the new Uncharted main character!
I'd expect nothing less from the ultimate troll.
but seriously, maybe Shinji is in the dark regarding Sony's plans and was hyped to hear some news
Stop overreacting. Not everyone can look at shit like teraflops and get anything actionable out of them. If I don't have actual games to look at, why should I care about numbers on a spec sheet?
Yeah, at the very least I expect to see the Back Stage demo running on a PS5 kit and some troll tease about the next FF.No Shinji is a troll. He doesn't troll without trolling. But really, it's not rocket science that Square is going to be a major player in the PS5 reveal. At the PS4 reveal event they were there in a major way too, including Shinji trolling more.
