it is around 11min mark. if i were to guess, i would say that PS5 is releasing next year so they are cancelling PSX for PS meeting in february.

Nyxus2069d ago

I don't see the PS5 releasing next year. 2019 is still big for PS4 in terms of upcoming games.

zivtheawesome2069d ago

they'll be cross gen is my guess. no point in letting the hype go down. also no point in not holding a PSX if they are not gonna pad the half point between E3s with something else.

The 10th Rider2069d ago (Edited 2069d ago )

2013 was still a pretty big year for PS3. Plus a couple games could always be cross-generation.

Nyxus2068d ago

@ The 10th Rider: perhaps but I really don't see the PS5 releasing earlier than 2020.

Obscure_Observer2068d ago

@Nyxus

"I don't see the PS5 releasing next year. 2019 is still big for PS4 in terms of upcoming games."

First they didn´t announced any new first party exclusive for PS4 at E3. Nothing at TGS as well and now they´re telling us that PSX18 is not gonna happen!

PS5 announcement incoming!

Omnislashver362068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

I'm thinking it's 2019.

And 2019 being a big year for PS4 is only more reason to release PS5 during that year.

2013 was a big year for PS3 but PS4 dropped anyway, not only that, but we can get the games crossgen/backwards compatible, meaning there is no drought year with PS5. This is incredibly good and a fantastic way to increase adoption without leaving old fans behind.

Also, we're not getting much of a jump by waiting to 2020, if any at all. Waiting just means it's more outdated.

Sony's PS4 arsenal with 4K60 options on PS5 would be the greatest launch in gaming history. Everything from Horizon, to Shadow of the Colossus, to Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us II at 4k60. Watch them drop some bombs about them having upgraded texture packs as well and no need to buy a remaster. PS5 would essentially have the greatest launch in history.

I'd say the only conceivable reason it might be 2020 is because of possible component shortages.

JaguarEvolved2068d ago

Ps5 confirmed for 2019. I can't wait to buy it day one

What happens in the 11th minute?
Na 2020 for PS5 2019 just to soon.

jznrpg2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

They both can coexist especially with PS5 most likely being compatible with PS4 games . 2020 makes sense but 2019 isn’t far fetched or anything

CarlDechance2068d ago

"6 years is soon? "

It isn't that it is too soon. Why would Sony be in a rush to start the next generation? They have a commanding lead. One X didn't diminish their market share and neither did Switch More than likely, the PS4 library will carry over to the PS5. Just doesn't seem to me that next year makes sense for Sony.

Kribwalker2068d ago

@carl

6 years is soon when 3 years in they released an updated console. The way they were talking the mid gen consoles were supposed to extend the gen, not make it shorter than last gen

CrimsonWing692068d ago

not a chance the PS5 is next year, at the earliest I'd say 2020.

2067d ago
GTgamer2068d ago

I'm saying it now ps5 will be announced next year and you can quote me on that.

sprinterboy2068d ago

We will find out in 9months I guess @E3, failing that reveal we'll no ps5 is Xmas holiday 2020 for sure 100%

2068d ago
DarXyde2068d ago

I only see that being viable if Pro isn't making much headway with sales. I was under the impression Pro was a means of extending the generation a bit.

I think they should wait another year. More impressive tech will be cheaper.

whitesky2068d ago

They will not announce a couple sole I'd it isn't coming our tht same year. Xbone X was a rare exception as was a mid term refresh and they needed to add some hype for the brand

To me this is obviously saying that the PS5 will be announced at next years E3 then released in 2020.

yellowgerbil2068d ago

they will release ps5 next year. no point revealing it in December it will only hurt the Christmas sales. so in feb they'll do a reveal like with the ps4 and then release in nov 2019

CarlDechance2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

I doubt very seriously they announce the console a year and a half before it is released. They will do exactly what they did last time. Announce in February and release in November of the same year. More than likely 2020. I don't see why Sony would be in a hurry to release the PS5 at this point at all.

jznrpg2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

@Oliver Shi has stated there are more games that are unknown to the public . PlayStation is at its best ever and I think the transition to PS5 won’t have as big a drought as normal because of the similar architecture and because they are making more money now than ever with PS.

TGGJustin2069d ago

This is pretty much because you had those people at home last year that complained about the lack of announcements. It's really a shame because those that went there really enjoyed going and getting hands on with games. The babies won again.

DarkVoyager2069d ago

Most people were complaining about the horrible format they used for the show including myself.

The_Sage2068d ago

That was E3, wasn't it?

-Foxtrot2068d ago

PSX was alright last year...I think you are talking about E3

jznrpg2068d ago

PSX or are you thinking E3

DarkVoyager2068d ago

Both formats were bad. Wasn’t the last PSX where they just sat on the couch on stage and talked?

+ Show (2) more repliesLast reply 2068d ago
King_Noctis2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

Because it actually lack announcement and the format was bad? It was just talking after talking after talking. 2016 PSX was a much better show.

SpaceRanger2069d ago

I got a backlog this year of first and third party games that I need to catch up on. And honestly there’s not much else that’s already been revealed at E3 that would be something to show.

RememberThe3572068d ago

I'm in the same boat. A lot of great games are just sitting there waiting for my time. I still haven't gotten Spider-Man and Red Dead is coming out. There are more than enough games to play atm.

XiNatsuDragnel2069d ago

That sucks hopefully next year.

MrSec842068d ago

Probably for PS5, PSVR and PS4.

Neil Druckmann clarifies true intent of new Naughty Dog game comments

Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.

just_looken2d ago

He can take dog shit put it in a oven with seasoning then call it waistland cookies the sony fans will pay $40 a cookie give them a medal of cooking.

No mater what trash this sobs puts out/talks about it will sell.

The true fact in the 8 years sense uncharted 4 his first time in the main seat to a point all this "amazing" team did was get 2 dudes to fuck in a van then destroy a franchise they never created.

But being a port studio they are decent at they should keep in there lane at being just that a glorified port studio.

fr0sty2d ago

Salty Bots... gotta love it.

just_looken2d ago

@frosty

Over what? naught dog under his command is a glorified port team tlou2 was mostly tlou 1 asset's with the same game play loop but forced a trans down your throat.

I would gladly help pay for this blight and his team to get removed from gaming in general.

fr0sty2d ago

Seeing a LGBT person exist in a work of fiction isn't "forcing them down your throat". Nobody is forcing you to play it. Nobody is forcing you to agree with it. If you think that just seeing a LGBT person exist is "force", it sounds like they make you very uncomfortable, and maybe you need to be doing some serious reflecting on exactly why... looks to me like you're suppressing something with all that fear.

just_looken2d ago

@fro

When i think of the last of us i think of a group of survivors crossing the apocalypse wasteland with a growing bond between 2 people that end up with Joel making ellie his new daughter.

Then you fire up the 2nd one bang joel is dead oh that comic series? bang dead

Oh you want to continue all that we grew in the first one? na f that toss it in the trash

Now here is a trans woman so strong superboy would blush go out there kill all what made tlou1 then halfway get a forced sex scene that you can not skip between 2 dudes.

The gameplay? just like the first game the combat/backpack system crafting sytem? 0 changes/improvements.

I could go on but lets face it they copy pasted that tlou 1 assets bin a shit ton of times.

There is nothing on the box or the ads or anything before the game that said you would going to spend most of the game controlling a new trans character that has no ties to anything of the first game the only existence was to kill what the first game made.

Oh but hey there is a mp mode coming out before 2022 wait what is that? oh we made it its own game then cancelled it now go but the game again as we port it a few times.

mkis0072d ago (Edited 2d ago )

What has Straley or Henig released since they left ND? Not a thing! stop scapegoating! Which of them is credited with co-writing a majorly successful show?

just_looken2d ago

@mkis007

You bring up Bruce Straley really? someone that gave us 4 generations of amazing games and was there in the creation of 4 legendary franchises but was tossed in the trash for the pos niel druckmann not 7? years ago

So yeah in those 7? years you right all he has done is get 2 awards one is a game award for a puzzle game he made oh boy right like for fuck sake's all niel has done is one game that was a overhyped fan boy orgasm underneath all that ps jizz was just a typical 5/10 game.

Then you drag Amy Hennig that poor woman was also kicked out then became this century's Brendan Fraser with her sexual misconduct information coming out.

We all know how horrible people are treated behind the scenes she might have been sexual attacked groped or something.

So yeah all she did after was battlefield hardline forspoken now that new marvel 1945 game but hey Brendan Fraser was a great actor till he also said he was sexually attacked just now he is allowed back in no doubt she also had to take a leave of absence out and or was forced out on ice.

Man there are way to many out there that look at niel at the new gaming jesus when all he had done is some work on uncharted 4 then tlou2

Oh also the tvhshow? for real all they did was use stuff from the 2013 game its like saying GOT was a 10/10 but never watching past season 3

-Foxtrot2d ago

@mkis007

That's highly unfair to them both

Amy Hennig got messed around working on projects that got cancelled by the publishers (EA) and then ended up on a awful game (Forspoken) where you had 4 other writers working on it which is just a recipe for disaster. She is now working on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Not her fault she was pushed out of NaughtyDog, something both Nolan North and Richard McGonagle have both said in interviews.

Bruce Straley left after burn out, the rest of the story we don't know and will never know just like what happened with Amy Hennig. He decided to take a break and wasn't sure if he wanted to come back to gaming however he had an idea he wanted to make so he founded Wildflower Interactive, a smaller studio where they are currently working on a new game.

Tacoboto2d ago

@the obvious stain of a commenter

The trans character wasn't Abby. Try playing Part 2 instead of gatekeeping what you think Part 1 was about and meant.

Maybe try watching the show while you're at it, because you're terribly off with your opinion on that too

MajorLazer2d ago

Naughty Dog is better than all the MS studios put together.

derek2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@just he has been behind 2 of the greatest games ever made. Tlou2 was easily the best non-vr game made last gen. Losers just can't get over Joel's death, mixed with the usual console war nonsense. The fact that you so casually call him a sob shows how deranged some gamers have become about Drunkmann.

derek2d ago

@frosty, for people like Just, including anyone that can be categorized as being a minority in any kind of media is "forcing it down his throat " lol. I to don't care for poor "checking box" inclusion for inclusion sake but that was not the case with tlou2.

fr0sty2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The pathetic part about it is, you can tell just_looken never even played TLOU, because that was the game where Ellie's sexuality was first brought to light... No "that was forced down our throats" to be said about that.

Only terrified folks in the closet that use their hatred as cover from outing themselves fear LGBT people that much. They exist. They will exist in all aspects of life, including popular media. Get over it.

just_looken1d 18h ago

@all

Once again you drag out something like its a big win

Here is my old channel a clip of me playing TLOU on ps3
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Search my channel for more clips

Proof its my channel? look at this profiles banner that is 7yrs old then look at other vids on that channel like my bf3 clips to see my psn id. But knowing this group that is way to much work.

Also elle being a lesbian is another trump card? one dlc is all we got of that a dlc that took over a year to be tossed out.

Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.

No need to bow down, Stan your ground. The AI comments were gross though.

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

-Foxtrot4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

senorfartcushion4d ago

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
