No PlayStation Experience for 2018

They probably would be better with only having conferences at PSX and E3.
E3 is a must and PSX is a pretty sweet event, well spaced out and they get all the attention for themselves.
TGS announcements would need to fit a bit in each show. The European conferences weren't really consistently happening since PSX started anyway. Doesn't seem to me that they were important and just show floor presence is enough.
Nah they still need PGW and TGS. When you have a big EU community and lots of studios, you need to be there. They need to keep a foothold in Japan as well.
People just need to stop expecting megaton announcements at PSX. Matter of fact, I would be fine if they just dropped the keynote altogether. It's the least important part of the conference anyway, it's all about the demos and hanging out with indies
The conference part of PSX was pretty bad last year. Makes sense that they decided not to have it since they have nothing really to show.
I mean if you don't have enough news to hype people up isn't that a problem to be addressed lol
It's pretty bad to come out and say "eh we don't really have much"

so many people here are gonna be dissapointed when all they did is cancel PSX. you wont see PS5 till 2020.
Well, there it is.
Sony massaging what I feel is the calm before the storm in February when they announce the PS5. They want hype to naturally ebb and flow up until that point I imagine, without any conferences in between. Red Dead will get its marketing push. After which, Days Gone will get its marketing push and then in February... BOOM, PS5 is announced. All PS4 games are backwards compatible, and enhanced automatically by the system.
Can't wait.

Yes , it's not hard. It's like copying someone's homework while creating a new game is actually doing it from scratch. It's not even close to being the same. I'm not saying it's a cake walk but it's definitely not hard, or even a risk to remake a game, it's simple and cheap.
I don't care about VR games, I don't have a PSVR, and like 95%+ of PS4 owners don't either. They shouldn't have to stop producing regular PS4 titles just because of VR. I mean, if anything the resources from funding Vita games have gone to funding PSVR, though I feel like Vita games are larger scale then most of these VR games. So yes, it has stopped. I mean, you're just contradicting yourself, PSVR games are not "PS4 games", theyr'e PSVR games, they're separate. So when you say that they've moved to VR, you're pretty much agreeing that they've stopped.
You talk about them opening new studios, but they've also closed studios. And ooo, they're making a Uncharted studio, so "risky". And I doubt that VR studio is going to be bigger than 100, or even 50 honestly.
Concrete Genie is a first party studio, I'm talking about 3rd parties.
And the funniest thing about this is, the PS4 is selling a shit ton and their first party games are selling more than ever, and yet they're investing less. Pathetic. This is what a lack of competition does and I am hoping MS does better next-gen. And people are actually defending this.
I'm probably in the minority, but I feel the lowest about PlayStation first party that I have in a long while.
They blew their load so bad at E3 2016. It feels like a never ending tread mill with their first party lineup right now. I want Ghosts, TLOU2, Days Gone, Death Stranding etc to just release to get to something fresh.
I'm so bored of hearing about these games. Glad they're skipping it since they have nothing to show, but seriously, why is there nothing new to show?

I can't agree with you about being bored of their lineup, but I do agree that revealing:
God of War
Death Stranding
Days Gone
Spider-Man
TLOU: Part II
All in 2016 was excessive. They basically revealed their lineup for the rest of the generation.
I dont mind this. Whike i love watching PSX, i honestly dont expect many game announcements of a big nature for PS4. By that i mean nothing on the scale of a GoW.
But i also dont think they will announce PS5 next year. I think thats 2020. They are just missing a year as there are no new announcements.
While i think its stupid, as they could give us more info on Days gone, ghosts, Dreams and TLOU 2, and people can play games, while also hyping PSX Classic, i get why they dont. But they still should have.

There is absolutely no way PS5 is being announced in five months. No way.
Damn, I'm pretty bummed out about this.
I was actually saving up on planning to go if it was really happening. Guess I'll wait til next year then.

I don't mind, I think their lineup is already plenty as is, and it would be a bit irresponsible to announce games years down the line like their some of their previous e3s. Still, it's hard to believe we're already in the winding down phase of the ps4 generation already tho :(
Don't know why people think that in 5 months they'll announce PS5.
See you in Feburary, I'll try to remember to tag you in the announcement thread
Next year, if it happens, should be a good one to celebrate 25th anniversary.
This. Having two US shows whilst having none outside it is a bad idea.
Also agreed on just dropping the keynote for PSX.
Sucks but I understand. Regret not meeting any of you who went previously!
I do think they should have not streamed it. They should have kept it really exclusive where the best bits would be discovered by only those who attended. Then afterwards they could just upload clips and release articles.
Hopefully this means something is cookin. Been a good month for PS.

Disappointing, not because of potential announcements, but because people won't be able to play demos of upcoming games. No panels, meet and greets, etc.
And doubly disappointing in the face of Microsoft bringing back their Xbox fan event.
??? I'm not entirely sure there would still be anything big to announce at PSX this year that wasn't a next-gen title.
No way in hell would Ghosts, TLOU2, Days Gone, and Death Stranding not have been announced by now regardless. A PSX 2018 would be way too late for any of those titles to be revealed considering they're all probably releasing in 2019.

I don't think it matters where the conferences happen geographically, aside from PSX they are mostly for press. Regular consumers only get to see it through streams.
I'm advocating for those specific shows for other things they bring like a good amount of time between shows and relevance. PSX keynotes used to be held at european friendly hours too, in Saturday morning US pacific. I'm not from the US either, I have no bias for demanding things at specific regions, I actually think it would be cool if the main PSX were to be held in different regions every year.
More than 2 shows and I think they spread themselves too thin.
Yeah. What about The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Final Fantasy VII Remake et cetera?
I think this is more likely due to Sony not wanting to ape the PS4's last E3 next year and the fact they already have 6-7 games set to release. As far as PS5 goes I don't see the hardware, software, or demand being where they need to be 12 months from now. PS4 is still going incredibly strong, why kill its momentum?
PS4 - Fall 2013
PS4 Pro - Fall 2016
PS5 - Fall 2019?
Whelp... seems too soon but plausible at this point. Still hope for Fall 2020 launch.

Think (hope) he's just considering the first half of the year in the statement.
I think The Last Of Us Part II & Ghost of Tsushima are 2019 games, Death Stranding is a 2020 game, & Final Fantasy VII Remake is a 2021 game at best.
Because it's due, a consoles lifecycle is 6 years and 2018 will be the 6th year.
Microsoft already talked about the next Xbox. I dont think this has as big of an effect on sales.
Also, what would Sony show at E3 2019 without showing Ps5 games? The same stuff as this year?
I think Sony will show us Horizon 2 and Bloodborne 2 at E3 2019 and announce a backwards compatible Ps5, so people can still jump in on the Ps4 without losing their library.
If that be true, damn that'd be great.
Maybe it won't be such a total loss after all.
Two of the games they announced early broke PlayStation sales records.
So, nah.
We'll be lucky to get FFVII in 2020 lol.
I do hope one of the others you mentioned are in 2019.
That's why I said IF.
A ton? People said that after E3 but look at what happened. They have to announce something big for their Windows 10\Xbox platform for that to happen.
