As is the case with any upcoming industry event, gamers are currently whipping themselves into a major frenzy over the PlayStation Experience event. For those out of the loop, this fan-based Las Vegas convention is set to run from 6th December through until 7th December, and promises to give attendees hands-on time with a bunch of forthcoming titles – as well as a glimpse into the future of the PlayStation 4.
We hypothesised only last week that this is unlikely to include anything major, but it only takes a few people with a Twitter account to change expectations. Indeed, a couple of French gaming journalists claim that Sony will announce a title in a couple of months that will “engulf the web” it’s so big. Sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to us. Nevertheless, the location of the excited scribes has prompted some speculation that it could be related to Quantic Dream.
Elsewhere, Hello Games boss Sean Murray has also been in on the act, cryptically claiming that he “saw something amazing coming to PS4 owners soon that I probably can’t talk about”. What could it be? Well, again, the Internet’s going absolutely gaga – but, realistically, it could be anything from a new firmware feature to a forthcoming indie game that the No Man’s Sky maker happens to like the look of.
And, then, of course, there’s gaming journalist Geoff Keighley. He wrote overnight that “games will rise” on 5th December, which is a day before Sony’s big community event. There’s a good chance that this is related to his VGA (or VGX) awards ceremony, but we’re sure that the hype man will spend a few more weeks fishing for retweets before actually, y’know, revealing anything concrete. He’s the master of that, after all.
To be honest, we’re going to stick with our original stance on this: don’t get too excited. Having had a few days to mull it over, we can certainly see the Ratchet & Clank remake that was announced at E3 getting a trailer, as Insomniac Games should be free to promote that by the time that December rolls around. There’ll no doubt be new trailers for the likes of The Order: 1886 and Bloodborne, too. But the kinds of things that some people are expecting are, frankly, insane...

Hmm, as of this week I have been preordering my ps4 games from Amazon. So even if nothing big is announced at this thing there is so much coming over the next year I'll be kept busy, along with all my WiiU game preorders too
PS: loving The Evil Within on the ps3 this week!
There's a lot of Sony studios beavering away on stuff presumably it has to be announced sometime.
Well Sony said R&C Redux was going to be glimpsed this fall, so that is one.
They also have studios in hiding, but which one is anyones guess.
But a gamechanger would be The Last Guardian getting revealed for a... Nah never mind. It looks like a title that rivals Rise of The Tomb Raider, well none of that hopefully (unless you know this is Japan exclusive games which no doubt makes sense).
'No Man’s Sky' PS4 Exclusive would be COOL Not going to get hyped or think about it tho, from now on
Unfortunately I have become very much "I will believe it when I see it" about the whole industry.
Damn!!! I was going to be in Vegas for those dates but my friends wedding has been delayed. Meh. I'm not sure there'll be anything big revealed at all imo.
Omega Quintet Western release date is my hope but, I sadly fear that will Idea Factory International that handle that and they don't keep the release date back for conse.
@Punished_Boss now take this with a massive truck of salt, as I have, but, I read in the comments section of an ign story yesterday that, The Last Guardian has been stopped development over the past two years and Nintendo have bought up the rights for it to be exclusive to the WiiU.
It's bull, but, ya never know!
Massive truck of salt guys, massive truck.
Going on a limb and calling PSASBR 2.
@Jazzer94 I would actually be one of the few people that would welcome this.
It could be the Uncharted box set we heard a little something about. That is supposed to include Uncharted 1,2,3 and the with the Vita version included too all on one beautiful PS4 disk. There could also be some new footage of "The Last Guardian" as it was announced last month that it was coming along really well.
I had a dream about playing shenmue on the ps4, but that's all it was.
Indies Await...... sorry I'm not an indie hater or anything but all events except for the Japanese one we have gotten excited with rumours of Megaton announcements and then the actual conferences are only a bunch of indie titles and titles we already knew about
I don't believe it but I will be happy if we get to see a little more of Uncharted 4.
Heres what i demand.
Uncharted 4 gameplay trailer
God of war trailer
Mass effect trilogy remaster
Skyrim remaster
Medievil reboot
Heavenly sword 2
Gt7 teaser
Gt6 remaster
God of war 3 remaster
Mag 2
Siphon filter reboot
An announcement that r* is becoming an in house publisher meaning all future games are exclusive to sony (not really what i want but the troll inside me wants to see what the internet would look like if only for one day if that happened)
just want to add, this is my wishlist and i dont expect any of these things. I can dream though
@get2sammyb If they improve things I'd be cool with it, the first game was fun but paled in comparison to Smash (Melee onwards) in almost every regard.
Just to add to the hype train.
I work a few doors down to PlayStation Europe head office in London and as I was in the next door Costa Coffee so were the head devs of Media Molecule discussing their PS4 title. They instantly stopped talking and left when my super spy, eavesdropping techniques were foiled xD
So their game has got to be at the event!
@Perryg92 I hope so, I've been waiting to hear about their ps4 game.
I expect nothing major but if something big is announced it would be a nice surprise.
I'm not getting my hopes up, but hopefully they do announce at least one new amazing title. (doesn't even have to be an exclusive for me)
@BigDaddyT0101
I respect the wish list but, there is WAY too many remasters there!
I think Sony's 2015 schedule is already booked. Sure there could be other reveals, but that's not happening until next year.
@Hero-of-WiiU yea i could easily remove god of war 3 and gt6 (so long as cars pans out) but ive heard a mass effect collection is in the works, and i dream of skyrim on ps4 every other day even though i have it on a pc which supports every mod under the sun. To be honest my real wish list for dormant games starts and ends with medievil.
They are so over hyping this. It's strategic, announce some big game by December ( Christmas) to up their sales. The only thing there gonna announce is a game we already knew about. Watch.
If it's Resistance 4, Jak 4 or MediEvil 3 I'll lose my sh*t
I also expect a trailer for Ratchet & Clank PS4.
