He clearly has a track with MS, but I don't recall him being right about anything with Sony.Looking forward to Xbox! And a reminder PlayStation plans to fire back in a State of Play soon after... https://t.co/sG5p60JPWo

He clearly has a track with MS, but I don't recall him being right about anything with Sony.Yeah that's all I'm saying. Seems some insiders knew about a state of play and assumed it was going to be a bigger event.

Yeah that's all I'm saying. Seems some insiders knew about a state of play and assumed it was going to be a bigger event.Yes basically. Insiders knew of state of play but Sony are keeping most of their secrets fairly well. Insiders didn't know what's in the state of play, they all just assumed or didn't bother saying anything.
c'mon guys,.. everyone expects sony to have another show and for good reasons. we don't know price. we don't know release date. there are probably more games to announce both big and little. we don't know which games are launch titles. many of the games previously announced didn't get much depth. ...and most importantly of all a bunch of digital shows is clearly how things are going to be communicated so long as covid makes conferences an impossibility.Well exactly, we don't know shame and its been 2 months since that June event with pretty much 0 follow up information. Its a really odd strategy by Sony, imo they should be keeping it more frequent with bits of information. They're just giving competitors time to get into people's minds and win them over.
sony will have another show. we don't know when and until we do every insider and forum dweller will be making speculation about it until it actually happens.

Systems will have a day 1 patch.
Of course!I'm glad I'm on the game side.
Those OS engineers are still working hard as Sony makes and ships consoles.Spoiler for Hidden:

Consumers have told us they hated lootboxes so we have decided to turn the PS5 it into the opposite of a lootbox. We will tell you exactly what is in the box, but we will only tell you the price once you have bought it.

How is software actually put on a system?
I've been called a "whiny baby" and "not the marketing guru I think I am" on reddit for saying that this decision is baffling and that the negative reception this is likely going to have could have clearly been helped if they actually put in some of the PS5 info that people are so desperately waiting for.Nah they set expectations right here, people should know. I think this will be a big show for PS4 still and we'll still get some PS5 stuff so should be okay. If they immediately follow it up with PS5 news people will be happy.
I feel like it's borderline unfair to these third party partners to put them in a State of Play that is from the get go set up to be the exact opposite of what the community is looking for at the moment. How many people tuned out the moment they read "no major PS5 announcements"?
Nah they set expectations right here, people should know. I think this will be a big show for PS4 still and we'll still get some PS5 stuff so should be okay. If they immediately follow it up with PS5 news people will be happy.Yes they set expectations sure, but we know the internet, people will still baby. (Especially with how this week started for Sony) Follow up PS5 news can alleviate that of course, but as it stands that would probably still not be announced for at least a week or two after the event, even in the best case. Really seems like they want to have Lockhart and the Xbox price out there, before they play their big counter.

Really seems like they want to have Lockhart and the Xbox price out there, before they play their big counter.Well I think Sony has so much to show that this stuff just wouldn't fit into their later planned PS5 show. So a lot of this might be its either this show or no show. Plus people who will be watching it will be interested for sure, and news still spreads quickly through social media and what not.
But again, I'm just imagining this from a partner perspective. Wouldn't you rather have your game shown in an event that millions are watching, because it's expected to have the PS5 news they have been waiting for than in an event that due to its expectations being set way lower a lot fewer will likely be watching?
