How Sony can 'win' E3

Polygon:
For the purposes of this article we'll define a "win" as a press event that energizes existing fans and will help to bring in new fans while helping the company in question improve their bottom line. If the show gets everyone talking about games and initiatives that will cause both existing and new fans to get out their wallets, that's a "win." This isn't a zero-sum game, where one win means that someone else loses; it's very possible at the end of the show that each company will have "won."

If you seriously think all they have to announce is TLG and win E3 you are highly highly mistaken.

Rimeskeem4000d ago

of course it won't win E3 if they announce it. If they show gameplay and release date in 2015 however, then they win!

mikeslemonade4000d ago

Just by showing up Sony will win based on how Microsoft and Nintendo is pitching there conference.

never4get4000d ago

Gunslinger Stratos PS4 release date, make paying PS PLUS WORTH MORE!!!

morganfell4000d ago

Satyre28,

While TLG might not be able to single handedly win E3, I think you are miscalculating the impact of that title. It isn't a game to which only one crowd, for example shooter fans, would pay heed. It is a title with universal appeal cutting across all lines and entrancing gamers of all genres. If TLG is shown with a 'coming this holiday' announcement, it will fell any game before it. It is a title that will make other publishers shift release dates to avoid. It isn't just a title to sell copies but it is also a bona fide monster console seller. It's release before Christmas can singlehandedly drive PS4 purchases to take the holiday NPD for December.

As I have said before, I think Sony shifted UC4 for more development time and also to be away from the blast radius of The Last Guardian.

And advice from polygon for Sony? Please. Please just shut up already polygon.

hamburgerhill4000d ago

TLG would be huge but I don't think it has to win e3. If you're being a complete fanboy of course you will think this way but if you're not you will understand it's about all the games not just 1 game or platform. As much as I'm excited about X1 you Sony fanboys (not talking to regular Sony fans) need to grow the frack up and quit thinking the world only revolves around you and Sony! This show is for everyone!

Army_of_Darkness4000d ago

It's like hearing my enemy give me advice on how too kick his ass, but unsurprisingly has ulterior motives...

They don't really have to do anything. Even if they just announce new games for next year, the PS4 is still selling well.

Letthewookiewin4000d ago

As soon as Sony shows up they win. They know exactly what they are doing with this thing.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4000d ago

perdy much. Plus they have the Playstation Experience later in the year. They take that more seriously than E3.

Sm00thop4000d ago

TLG was supposed to be on PS3, if anything they kind of let people down constantly promising that it'll be out. I don't see how TLG could win E3, but I'm sure all the fanboys will praise Sony to high heaven for showing a trailer of a game that should have been released a long time ago.

IRetrouk4000d ago

They never really said when it was coming just that it was still being worked on, i think if its not shown at this e3 thats it, im hopefull but am ready to move on.

Magicite4000d ago

Playstation wins E3 by default.

Farmassy4000d ago

this is just blind consumerism.

This is the epitome of fanboy logic. I think playstation and xbox will have a great E3 but you can't seriously believe that any company wins by default. This is the problem with gaming nowadays

Back-to-Back4000d ago

All Sony has to do is show up.

goldwyncq4000d ago

While I'm certain it could very well be a masterpiece, lets's face it - TLG is more of a niche game with a cult following that has gained immeasurable hype over the years due to it's mythical status, on par with Duke Nukem Forever (previously) and Half-Life 3. It would definitely win the long time PS fans but I don't think it'll be the game of the show for everyone.

Retroman4000d ago

????? eh. anyone with an ounce of intelligence
please !!!!! explain what is sooooooooooooo significantly important , valuable about "The last Guardian"????? with all the delays.
with that being said ( delays ) why is it still being sought after??

DarkOcelet4000d ago

Oh man, i cant wait to see what Level 5 will announce for PS4.

MasterCornholio4000d ago

Just show up.

:)

OK I'm just kidding

I'm sure if they announce plenty of surprises they can have a very good E3 conference

IamTylerDurden14000d ago (Edited 4000d ago )

They already have...

Show up and say "25 million, GDDR5, Bloodborne, and REAL VR" drop the mic and leave. Sony wins.

I'm kidding, sort of.

Guerrilla's rpg Horizon will be a huge way to start.

Recently it's been said God of War IV will be at the show via teaser

More Uncharted 4 gameplay

Mind blowing No Man's Sky related announcements/gameplay

Great gameplay from all the awesome games we know are coming 2015 ie Until Dawn, Rapture, Soma, Rime (likely), Tomorrow Children, Abzu, The Witness, The Forest, WiLD (likely), Persona 5 ect.

Announce a Gran Turismo title whether Sport or GT 7. They probably will.

Have a great Morpheus showing with confirmed games, date, price

SCE Bend's game which might be a new 3rd person Resistance game - *Dreams*

Quantic Dream's new ip showing the AMAZING tech from The Dark Sorcerer demo.

I think they have a lot of surprises as well, but even this list alone will win it triumphantly imo. Yay e3!

Satyre284000d ago

Funny that you say that, and if they truly did that it would be stuck at 25 mil because nobody else would buy a PS4 ever.

Ricegum4000d ago

I'm pretty sure they would.

Letthewookiewin4000d ago (Edited 4000d ago )

@Sat -You wish PS4's would stop selling, so X1 doesn't look like such a step child next to it. Microsoft is going to have a nice conference but don't kid yourself, Sony's will be just as good -/+. Just enjoy your box don't crap on others.

Spotie4000d ago

If that highly unlikely scenario were ever to occur, I'd buy another PS4 just to spite you.

Stop trolling.

MasterCornholio4000d ago

I doubt they will mention GDDR5 at their conference.....

As for everything else yeah I can see that happening.

BitbyDeath4000d ago

Wouldn't be surprised if WiLD launches next year and is Morpheus compatible.

OB1Biker4000d ago

I wouldnt be surprised about a reference to 'real VR' tbh
Im not really bothered about who 'wins' though as I think its really subjective and about preference.
It should be a great show with some fantastic gameplay of games we know of and a few surprises hopefully mind blowing.

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?

mooreneco2145d ago

That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
