Wow this website has no backbone

When did PlayStation leave? Sony Interactive Entertainment already went to CES, GDC & PAX. Do those conferences not matter because Sony wasn’t at E3?

Now less than a week after making such a ludicrous article this website is making a rebuttal article to cover its ass

GaboonViper2498d ago

People acting like E3 is the only show on the planet LOL, PS never left, just typical rubbish jounalism as usual.

darthv722498d ago

While obviously not the "only" it certainly is one of (if not) the largest and most followed.

On topic, maybe this site doesnt know that companies can opt to take a break if they want to?

NecrumOddBoy2498d ago

Playstation stayed home during E3 and crushed the competition.

The Wood2498d ago (Edited 2498d ago )

We're now grading consoles by their gestures instead of their actual output. . . . .

This whole 'wins e3' has severely diluted the importance of the 'prove' part of the 'show and prove' notion.

This e3 was way more beneficial to Sony and Nintendo than Microsoft. There's no perfect formula. If Sony would of shown the same game's as last year people would have something to say. Guess what, they stayed away and still got shine. . . Go figure

Dirtnapstor2498d ago

No, I think it’s comments like this that are telling with respect to who actual read the article.
If I remember correctly, Sony has skipped three events thus far. This “rubbish” article provided some concrete framework for what to expect in the near future.

Sevir2498d ago

They skipped E3 and didn't have a PSX in 2018, where they literally said they had nothing to show. Theyve typically only done E3, TGS Paris Games week and PSX while having small presence in PAX and Gamescom due to them focusing big on the other events...

They'll show whatever they need to show when they are good and ready. They arent back from anything. They started the conversation of Next Gen talk, they still managed to have blockbuster around E3 without actually being there and they still have a next gen platform to fully unveil, still have PS4 heavy hitting games to announce the release date to, and they still have PS4 exclusive's launching this year both first and 3rd party...

quiet down, you're making a mountain out of an ant hill. Bosses move in silence, their results make the noise.

badz1492497d ago

Funny thing about E3 was, MS didn&t even win E3 2019. Sony stayed at home and watched MS screwed themselves up LOL!

Last time games releases such as Dragon Qiest Builder 2 which played the best on PS4 got 9s. Every FFVIII fans are excited for the remaster and mostly are on PS4 as always for the series. VII remake will mostly sell on PS4 looking in history it been always a 3:1 or 4:1 when comes to sales comparing to Xbox. (Except XIII was 2:1 in favour of sony, because that was the first offline FF to release on the Box brand and xbox 360 was genuinely supported by americans and media back then.)

bluefox7552498d ago

They've certainly illustrated how unimportant events like this ke e3 are to a console's success.

DarXyde2498d ago

Not really.

PS4 has been successful since day one and this is the first time they've skipped it. Now if Sony skips every E3 hereafter and PS5 does very well, you'd have a point.

Ratchet752498d ago (Edited 2498d ago )

Sony never tried to diminish the importance of E3, they just did not think they had enough meaningful things to announce.
We already know about TLOU2, DEATH STRANDING, GHOST OF TSUSHIMA, FF7 REMAKE, DREAMS.... ETC.
Playstation presence through third party conferences was still very much felt at this E3.

Orionsangel2498d ago

This website? N4G doesn't provide the content on this website. We do.

RedDevils2497d ago

Are you the author of that site? It's suck.

dumahim2498d ago

Is this the same site that had the article about where is Playstation? I think people in the comments predicted this type of article coming.

Iceball20002498d ago

Plus they don’t share the dates for TGS or GC. Now I have to waist more time and google it.

trooper_2498d ago

I was wondering the same thing.

They're acting like Sony left the industry or something.

REDGUM2497d ago

@ the article title......
WHERE DID SONY & PLAYSTATION GO?

SierraGuy2497d ago

They went to the future...and now they are back with newere stuff/ideas the others can copy.

Potnoodle9992497d ago

Tbf I do think this is a big part of Sony’s plan. Games “journalists” are so predictable. They knew they would get all of these PlayStation is back! Articles when they started making big reveals again. It’s a great plan really because they haven’t gone anywhere, just given us the illusion they have. I mean we still are waiting on the same big games to come out so nothings changed, just journalists haven’t been able to report on them for a while so they start having a shitfit. Then when they can start reporting on Sony again it’s all OMG Sony is back!!!! 😂🙄

Huh ? Did they go on holiday or something

Elda2498d ago

Sony Playstation never went anywhere but taking care of business as usual,getting their fans ready for new & exciting exclusive games along with next gen.

InKnight7s2498d ago

Ps4 owns this gen in a way how PS2 own it gen.

Switch is like the Wii benefiting releasing too late to get sales and not competing in the market against Sony.

Xbox One is just a shadow of 360 success but it is actually exist as the OG Xbox.

Hardiman2498d ago

Agree with your analogy but even the OG Xbox had good exclusive games and Xbox One does not. I'm not sure what I'd compare the One to!

Chocoburger2497d ago

@gamingunited

Don't you dare compare the fantastic and under appreciated Sega Saturn to the Xbox One.
If you've bothered to research all the high quality exclusives it had (many unfortunately stuck in Japan) you would understand that the Saturn and Xbox One are worlds apart in terms of quality games to play.

Cacabunga21d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot20d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose21d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE21d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername20d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy21d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde21d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8621d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8621d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300021d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle21d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7721d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
