Sigh... stop baiting each other... I know both are scared to go first.... jeez

Heck Nintendo Just release BOTW2 in November to really cause them stress...

[RockmanBN]

Bwak bwak bwak

 

[zombiejames]

Looking forward to all the shock and disappointment as this tweet gets ignored.

No big PS5 announcements!

[Uzupedro]

Hitman 3 and RE8 are the only big third parties that showed at the PS5's event IRRC.
Why 40 minutes?

 

[jorgejjvr]

Okay. Nothing to be excited for then. I'm glad expectations are there though.

So price later in the month on another event, or September now?

 

[Deleted member 12555]

This a test of my faith. I understand, and I shall not waver.

 

[Mecha]

I feel disappointed...

 

[Deleted member 34788]

Sigh, no ps5 major news, but then again a 40 minute SoP?


That's intriguing.

 

[Dest]

This is tiring.

 

[Astandahl]

Weird decision.

 

[Raigor]

This means no Silent Hill then?

We lost boys

 

[egg]

literally me rn.

 

[Domino]

Oh boy, they really want Microsoft to go first.

 

[Ryuhza]

Oh.

Uh.

Okay. :|

 

[Tttssd1972]

Bruh, I just want to know when I can throw my $500 at you Sony to pre-order the gosh darn system 😭😭😭

 

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Literal LOL at "no big PS5 announcements!" as a bullet point.

Like...is that supposed to be exciting?

 

[entremet]

I guess they are learning from MS.

 

[Star-Lord]

But we are 3-4 months away from a new console, super strange

 

[monketron]

Glad they specifically mentioned no PS5 announcements. Would have been easy to not say anything knowing it would increase viewership, but they know it's not worth the push back they'd get post-stream.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Getting this stuff out of the way for next week's Future of Gaming event, amirite?

 

[Pabz]

Ya both company's don't wanna announce that price first lol. People Expecting 399 gonna be disappointed

 

[Xevross]

I just don't get it at all. Read the frickin room Sony.

 

[Lifejumper]

No big ps5 announcements!

It's supposed to set expectations.

 

[JEH]

at this rate both will announce their price minutes before launch in november.

 

[broderm]

No price until you buy it. This price race is getting tiresome.

 

[CarterTax]

40 minutes and nothing PS5 aside from check-ins on third parties/Indies.

So I can safely skip this without having missed any announcements for the console launching in four months. Got it.

 

[Tora]

This is what Nintendo should do when announcing certain directs to prevent too much hype

 

[Garbrenn]

PS5 Price: we're never getting a price, everytime you buy a PS5 Sony spins a roulette wheel and you pay a random amount each time.

 

[udivision]

Kena? Sure.

 

[Rotobit]

I can't help but see this as an extremely long stand-off where both companies are waiting for the other to pull the trigger on pricing first because yeesh

I'm curious what'll even be shown here, though. I'd say Cyberpunk is likely but doesn't Microsoft have the marketing deal with that?

 

[Neural]

So pricing @gamescom with Keighley, I presume.

 

[Prime2]

You ready for 25 mins of CALL OF DUTY !!!

 

[Nos]

So why even do this? They know whats going to happen.
These companies ...they never learn.

 

[addik]

Good thing Sony just set the expectations straight out by saying "NOPE NO BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS HERE" but in spite of Silent Hill most likely not appearing, at least we get more updates on the games we saw last month.

Just weird that they're going to focus on PS4. I'm sure there are pretty big third party games coming out there, unless of course the focus is on cross-gen titles.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

40 minutes but all about PS4 and PSVR? Um...huh?

 

[Charpunk]

This whole prolonging the price and preorders on both sides is getting a little ridiculous now.

 

[Deleted member 4494]

There's still a Gamescom event later this month.

Keep chasing that chicken!

 

[cw_sasuke]

They are learning from Nintendo in how to manage expectations during these times - fans always go to crazy with expectations lol.

 

[FullMetalTech]

I'm guessing we get price in a September event. It seems they're playing the waiting game for price.

 

[flaxknuckles]

We aren't gonna get a price for these consoles until an hour before the systems are available at the store

 

[defaltoption]

What a weird lead up for both consoles.

Click to shrink...

This. It feels like they weren't even coming out this year. "Hey everyone that console you're excited for, nope"

 

[piratepwnsninja]

No big ps5 announcements!

I guess they don't consider Silent Hill a big announcement? Maybe? Please?

:(

 

[KtotheRoc]

Well, you can't say Sony isn't trying to manage expectations.

State of Play returns this Thursday, August 6

Updates on upcoming PS4 and PS VR titles take the spotlight.

blog.playstation.com

The episode is weighing in at 40+ minutes(!). We've got a great lineup in store featuring plenty of new gameplay footage and other game updates. Can't wait to hear what you think!

Click to shrink...

40 Minutes is quite beefy.. But no PS5 info ? Weird!

 

[Blizz]

You'll know the price after you pay for it, you get the receipt 6 months later.

 

[The Last One]

Well no Final Fantasy XVI announcement then.
