Regardless of whether you loved it or hated it, Sony’s big Gamescom 2014 press conference was absolutely packed with content this week. The platform holder announced nine new titles during its presentation, while also providing updates on several other previously revealed ones. And in an interview with Famitsu magazine, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has hinted that the company cut some content from the media briefing – because there wasn’t enough time.
“This time, the theme was to introduce first-party games, as well as a number of third-party games,” he said, as translated by Gematsu. “But to be honest, in selecting the games that we wanted to introduce, we realised that it wasn’t possible to fit everything into the frame of the conference, so unfortunately there were some games that we couldn’t introduce this time.” Pressed for more, the likeable executive explained that there’s still plenty more in the pipeline that we haven’t yet seen.
We already know that, of course, as big internal teams like Sony Santa Monica and Polyphony Digital have been dangerously quiet since the PlayStation 4 was announced. And, while we appreciate that the platform holder has been teasing some kind of first-party avalanche for a while now, we refuse to believe that its internal studios have been sitting around twiddling their thumbs for the past few years.

I am not surprised by this at all. Sony must be really busy pushing out lots of forthcoming titles for the PS4. Just look at last-gen. PS3 had so many new IPs as well as sequels for the established franchises during its entire lifetime. This is the reason for why I bought a PS4, because in the long-run, it will be the console with the most exclusives as per tradition.
@Sadodi This is the thing I've been saying, too. I do understand the frustration with people wanting to see what's in development, but just look at last year for exclusives on PS3/PS4/Vita — it was incredible really. Once they hit full steam...
If I were Sony I'd drop a bomb every week until crimbo.
They also cut PS3 and PS Vita.
@Punished_Boss But had PS TV depressing times.

Noticed that to0. Not only Vita but also the PS3 wasn't mentioned. Looks like the marketing is for over 90% fixed on the PS4 now.
except LBP3, one of the biggest Playstation exclusives this year will also come out on PS3...and Hohokum just came out for vita/PS3
Hinted... Could you guys clutch any more straws?

I just want to hear what Sony Bend are doing. And Naughty Dog supposedly had another secret title in the works that isn't Uncharted 4.
Give us a mecha game damn it! Not a cheap or cheesy 1 either!
