So, remember when we said that Sony's E3 2015 press conference would be absolutely packed with third party content? Well, to no one's surprise, it looks like one of those third party titles will be Destiny. Developer Bungie's teased that the sci-fi shooter will be making an appearance, and Sony's presser is really the only event that makes sense.
"You might have seen mention of Bungie this or Destiny that on E3 schedules. We'll have some things to tease. Wouldn't miss it for the world," the studio stated in its latest weekly update. As for what the company will actually show, we're most likely going to get our first look at the long rumoured The Taken King, which is supposedly the title's next, and largest, expansion.
How long will this all take? We can't quite say at this point, but we reckon a good showing will probably eat up at least ten to fifteen minutes of the Japanese giant's event. Factor in the likes of Batman: Arkham Knight, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Mad Max, and, well, you know where this is going. Kick and scream for exclusives in the comments section below.

Love the game, bring it on
@Swiket Haha! Yeah, it's been at every single one since PlayStation Meeting so far.
So Mad Max and Assassins Creed: Syndicate are both associating with Sony? I am not surprised at Syndicate as Assassins Creed has been associated with Sony for a long time but I wasn't aware that Mad Max was as well - even though I know its a Warner Bothers published game - like Batman: Arkham Knight. I must have missed that news...
@BAMozzy It was announced during Sony's conference a couple of years ago. The trail has run a little cooler of late, mind.
Yay, let's use E3 2015 to talk about an old, overhyped game. Great. Oh well, Nintendo should fare better.
Hopefully bungie will pull out a surprise with the bungie expansion. Becoming one of the bad guys in a similar fashion to Halo 2 and the arbiter.
Bought a multi format games magazine for the first time in ages and the xbox has one hell of a lineup coming tho e3 :/
I really don't' care if it's an exclusive or multiplat, first or 3rd party, as long as it's a game I want to play, but so far I'm completely uninterested.
At this point I'm planning on watching just to see if the Morpheus demonstration can be as bad as the Wonderbook demonstration and to see if anything can be as uninteresting as a 10 minute segment on a tv show cartoon thing.
I still want a PS4 for U4, FFXV, KH3, TLG, DQH and a few others, but I'm just not into the mainstream Batman, Destiny, COD and AC games. And I want No Man's Sky but I've already seen enough of that, just release it already.
Ffs please please sod off with destiny. Ya can bring as many dlc as ya like (which btw shud hav all been in main game anyway) but truth is your stil a boring piece of turd. On the other hand i am intrigued as to what else sony brings, so every cloud
@get2sammyb I've just been doing a bit of research myself and see it was announced during E3 2013 - 2 years ago. I can't see any subsequent mention and the only recent information is regarding a pre-order bonus - that of the Ripper car.
As you have probably seen on other threads, I really don't agree with 3rd party, multi-platform games having 'extra' content - timed or otherwise. I also believe that the 3rd party publishers should have their own conference and talk about 'their' games during those. Sony (as well as MS and Nintendo) should keep their conference purely for things 'exclusive' to their console - I will accept 3rd party exclusives in that but only IF they are totally 'exclusive'. It seems odd to me to show off multi-platform games at a specific consoles conference. Those with a Sony console may have no interest in MS but if they want to see 'game play' from games like the Division for example and of course vice versa.
I am in the position of owning both a PS4 and XB1 so will be watching both conferences with interest as well as some of the publishers too. I don't have one console for 'exclusives' and the other for everything. I don't want exclusive deals to determine which console I buy a game for either. I would rather watch Sony's conference to find out what Sony are bringing that's totally exclusive and unavailable elsewhere. Watching Batman in Gotham, PvP battles in Star Wars: BF, Mad Max's open world carnage or a Guardian in Destiny are all things I can or could 'experience' and play on other platforms - maybe not ALL the content at least not initially but I hope you can see my point of view.
No Sony exclusive excites(ed) me other than Bloodborne so far. If it wasn't for Bloodborne earlier this year, the PS4 might have been a sinking ship when it comes to console sales.
@Muscle436 Do you not think that the likes of Battlefield Hardline, The Witcher 3, and evergreens like FIFA and GTAV have been responsible for PS4's continued popularity?
@get2sammyb You can get all those games on other consoles. I'm speaking specifically about games that draw people to buying the console because you can't play them on anything else. The Order didn't really draw crowds. Bloodborne was the only game I saw that generated much buzz among the community and it actually did help with console sales. The Order didn't exactly sell many consoles. As for the Witcher, it only helped to sell Xbox Ones because it had a collector's edition exclusively for Xbox.
@Muscle436 The PS4 was a massive success long before Bloodborne came out, if Sony didn't have Bloodborne it would still be beating it's competition comfortably. At the end of the day exclusives don't matter all that much outside the hardcore now. You mention The Order didn't sell but it topped many charts in it's first 2 weeks on sale, expect it's over a million copies because it doesn't matter what the "community" or forum posters say, we're vocal minority. You also mention The Witcher selling Xboxes but it depends what country you're in because here in the UK the PS4 version outsold the X1 by nearly 2:1 and I expect it tobe the same in the rest of Europe and Asia.
I hope to see some uncharted running in its upgraded glory at e3.
Exclusives are great and all. But just some great games is good for me.
Hope Kingdom hearts makes a showing too.
Destiny is pretty good but I have done the unspoken and bought it on Xbox one cod there are no great Xbox games apart from halo,titanfall and oni.
I've no struggle on ps4 for great games. So Sony are doing something right.
I wanted to know if the season pass includes this expansion because it only says the name of the first two
@Muscle436
I'm not sure PS4 will ever be a sinking ship as far as console sales. I can see it losing some momentum in North America as the generation goes on if the exclusives that will come out don't live up to the hype, but barring a major turnaround Europe will be a major stronghold for Sony. And MS botched some things so bad early on with the X1 that in the end, sales probably won't really be that close. I still expect the X1 to be competitive enough but this will not be last gen were just a couple million or so units make up the difference.
That said, I'm as frustrated as anybody about the lack of good exclusives to this point. I expect nothing for the rest of 2015 but hopefully E3 will shed some light on something else for 2016 besides Uncharted 4. I'm guessing Ratchet & Clank will be shown off but, disappointingly, it's being made by Insomniac which has phoned in every single R&C since A Crack in Time so that's not worth getting excited about. Hopefully God of War 4 will be there as an 'oh one more thing' kind of deal.
@Gamer83 Well, I'm from the U.S. and sales here have been favored toward the PS4 until the X1 price drop. PlayStation was the best selling console in the U.S. again shortly after Bloodborne came out. I guess it has been rather dominant in the UK. On the whole, the PS4 has greatly outdone the X1 world-wide. In recent months, especially after X1 dropped price without Kinect, it was beating the PS4 in the U.S. on sales per month. After Bloodborne came out, however, U.S. sales spiked again.
Personally, exclusives don't really matter to me. The games I enjoy the most are multiplatform for the most part. Bloodborne being the one exception right now.
As far as long term sales are concerned though, Sony will need to grab more "console selling" titles. I'm not denying it's success in the last year and a half. And maybe a sinking ship was a bad example. It didn't start to sink, just lost some wind in its sales. cough
@Muscle436
It will need some more exclusives, I'd agree with that. We know Uncharted 4 will be great, God of War is another one that will help move consoles. I'd love return of some of the legacy titles though. It doesn't seem like Bend's next game is going to be Syphon Filter but we'll see.
It's sad that dlc for a year old game is E3 "news".
That E3(i think it was) with Destiny at the beginning was sooooooo disappointing :-/ It felt like a Microsoft Xbox boring show. The rest of the show was good tho!
Haha fool me once Bungie, fool me once.
