We’ve already had devs tweeting excitement and press people with 👀, but I wonder when real smoke about the event will start to come out. I’d say Sunday

2015 was good too.

Absolutely, I was watching Gametrailers stream and the reaction was INSANE... I burst out laughing at Huber and Bosman.

Bosman sitting like a hen up on his stool in excitement and Huber pulling off his headset and walking offscreen and all of them hugging eachother.

Amazing.

Predictions, ranging from basically guaranteed to hail mary pipe dream:
  • Spider-Man 2 gameplay (probably the opener)
  • Wolverine story trailer
  • The Last of Us: Factions premiere
  • Pragmata (please do not give us another Deep Down situation)
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 premiere
  • Final Fantasy XVI launch trailer
  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth gameplay trailer
  • Kingdom Hearts IV gameplay trailer
  • Sucker Punch's new project (Ghost of Tsushima 2?)
  • Guerrilla Games new project
  • At least one premiere of Sony's planned live service games (barring Guerrilla's, if it's one of them)
  • Bend Studio's new project
  • Silent Hill 2 remake gameplay trailer
  • Death Stranding 2 story trailer
I'm still not biting on the MGS3 remake rumors. I don't care who's saying it. I will believe it when I see it.

People starting get out of hand with these predictions and expectations.
There is just so much stuff to be revealed that is taking so long, it's hard to make one of these lists and not let it get out of hand.

On top of what we already know that will be there (Spider-man 2, FFVI, Death Stranding 2, Factions, Helldivers 2), there are all the internal studios and partners working on games that have not been revealed, there are the Konami rumors, the FromSoftware rumors (surprisingly convincing), third-party games that should've been revealed already (GTA being the biggest one), new hardware rumors and so on.

Sony also has had some pretty insane events in the past so the sky is the limit for a show that took this long to come together. In 25 years, I doubt there was ever a time where Sony had so few games announced.

God of War, Resident Evil 7, Death Stranding, Days Gone and Spider-Man were all revealed in Sony's E3 2016 apparently. All featuring gameplay except for Death Stranding (also the one who took the longest to release, 3 years).

2023 is for the PS5 what 2016 was to the PS4 and I hope Sony sees that.

no talking in the show besides jimbo open/close and maybe a quick bit from Hulst

if they do any dev chat it’ll be after the show like last time
The last show was done during lockdowns. Much harder to co-ordinate anything beyond trailers or Jimbo and Herman in front of a green screen

In 2020 the Horizon reveal teaser also had some dev commentary.

There were in other countries, and everything was still virtual. Travel outside of countries was still limited. Most people still working from home. The planned E3 2021 was virtual
