PlayStation Experience is approaching faster than a freight train filled with hype, and Sony has started to hint at the kind of things that you can expect to see during the December show. Writing on the PlayStation Blog, the platform holder has deployed a delicious list detailing some of the studios that will be present at the community event, which includes first-party outfits such as Guerrilla Games, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, and more.
They’ll be joined by third-party publishers, too – including Activision, EA Games, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros – and will all unite for exciting “announcements, panels, booths, merchandise, and playable games”. Think of this as the Devastator of gaming conventions, and you should be on the right track. Of course, while certain forums are already plotting out exclusive reveals that tally in the double figures, it’s worth noting that not all of these companies will have something new to share.
There will be playable games galore, though, with attendees promised hands-on time with everything from Bloodborne to Until Dawn, and much more in between. Interestingly, the hotly anticipated Game of Thrones spin-off by Telltale Games will be on the showfloor, as will the Grim Fandango remake for the PlayStation 4. The likes of Tearaway Unfolded and The Tomorrow Children will also get their first public demos as well.
If that’s not enough, attendees will be able to get some eyes-on time with Project Morpheus, and the platform holder is teasing that it has something “super special planned for No Man’s Sky”. Intriguing, huh? Of course, it wouldn’t be a PlayStation event without a few indie developers to boot, and over 80 individual titles from dozens of smaller studios will be on display. Sold yet? Yeah, us too – fortunately tickets are still available through here.

TLOU and Tearaway were the best ps studio exclusives for me from the last couple of years, we know about Tearaway PS4 and Uncharted 4, I'd love to know what else they're up to.
Gimme good games.
Really hoping for an Uncharted PS4 collection, plus the new Guerilla game and (darn you sammy!) a new High Moon Studios transformers game. Also maybe a inFAMOUS vita game hopefully.
And most games will be in-engine trailers..yay?
Dragon's Dogma 2.
Expectations in check: New vita games!
Hopefully something is announced to get me interested in the PS4 again.
Some love to Vita would be nice.
Sweet. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Sucker Punch is up to. I wonder if it's more Second Son DLC or a sequel. If it's not DLC, I'm hoping for a new IP. I know they could do wonders if they made a ninja game, or some other open world stealth game.
The greatest possible event for me would be the following: Insomniac shows Ratchet and Clank 2015, ND shows UC4 and pulls a Sega Saturn and releases UC Collection the following day, and SP reveals something new.
I would make a white, sticky mess everywhere if those things were all to happen at the same event.
Tell me what happened when its over. I will see if I care. Sorry a bit tainted at this point. Low expectations of anything new I will care about. We'll see.
On a slight aside, the XBO is killing PS4 on Amazon at the moment with with COD and Assassins creed bundles! (Sunset Overdrive is selling "ok" as a game but completely overshadowed). First time I have seen MS clearly take the lead! It will be a great week for MS (Well done to them!) and interesting to see what Sony does (if anything) to counter. They do not want MS to re-gain momentum in the US. Sony will need some big bundles/sales of their own. I hope they have been planning.
@Ginkgo Sony are betting big on far cry and GTA I think. I have always seen CoD as more of an Xbox game it's just the way it goes.
This event feels like it's going to be Sony's personal E3. I hope they make it an annual event every year before Xmas!
Unrelated but just a heads-up to anyone in the UK who is looking for a PS4. Zavvi have them at £309 right now...! [not affiliate link]

Also, I miss Jack Tretton!
@dire_distortion xbox as stated in their trailers provides the 'ultimate cod experience' what that is I don't know, I don't see how it's an Xbox game when its always been multiplatform. Due to ps4 I think the sales figures will be almost identical.
I would love it if Sony pulled the same stunt with No Man's Sky as they did with Entwined. Chances are crazy low, but I can dream!
No Evolution Studios?
Personally I want to see something from Guerrilla and Naughty Dog that favours gameplay over graphics. Both studios can create wonderful looking visuals but I'm yet to find any of their games more than average. You make games guys, remember, try making one rather than a repetitive "experience."
Oh and if Sony announce they're working with Treasure on something than I'll forgive all the garbage that they have done this year.
@rastamadeus I thought exactly the same thing about Evolution. I was going to mention it in the article actually, but re-considered... Haha, I'm glad someone mentioned it, though!
@Ginkgo I think it would be more concerning if those bundles hadn't shot up the charts to be honest. Like you, though, I am curious to see how Sony responds.
I hope PS Experience can restore my faith in Sony. I am admittingly expecting an Uncharted trilogy remastered collection to be announced and for the vita to as always get the short end of the stick.
Where's Insomniac?
No Man's Sky + VR i bet (Not that i am to bothered about VR much really. I would rather SONY just spend their time & money on more 'normal' PS4 Exclusives, but that is just me i guess) I would rather SONY say No Man's Sky will be PS4 Exclusive
@irken004 + 1 this, I'm so hyped right now squeee .
I'm trying not to get my expectations up much though, on the off chance this turns out to be a bust.
Sid shuman of PS blog says that PS Vita will be there in full force! I'm still keeping my expectations in check though...
I think no mans sky gets a release date, and it will be alot sooner than many think. Game changer for me.
@rjejr
Your wit never ceases to amaze.
I can't wait to see whats on show for PS4, especially Bend and Guerrilla (Syphon Filter hopes).
Oh dear god Shawn Layden
@Ginkgo What are Microsoft's benefits like? Decent?
Would be nice to see some Gravity rush 2 ...... but I don't think it will ever see the light of day!
@glassmusic Asking me what MS benefits are? Hmm. Personally I would say none. Just noted that for the first time since probably Titanfall, they are actually selling well. Was hoping that Sony had something up their sleeve to counter. Would hate Sony to not win NPD in Nov. They will need to counter and not sit on their laurels. Competition is good for gaming. We win.
