16:09

And now expectations have been calibrated, perhaps we can cut the snark tomorrow -- or you can opt to skip the stream instead. See you then!

16:06

Well, none of us would have predicted it and the snark is already strong, but that will be one helluva game. Really exciting announcement.

16:05

Tetris Effect is coming to PS4 with PSVR this fall.

16:03

Here we go, then. First reveal is up, and it's from Rez developer Enhance.

16:00

And we're LIVE with the first E3 2018 countdown stream.

15:58

Any last predictions, then? Remember: it's a new PS4 game with PSVR support. What could it be? Your guess is as good as ours.

15:58

Just a few minutes until Sony's first E3 2018 countdown stream begins. Join us LIVE.

15:54

We've got some rocking music on the stream as we wait the final five minutes for the announcement to get underway.

15:45

Just about 15 minutes until today's PS4 reveal. Any predictions?

15:20

What could today's announcement be, then? All we know is that it's a PS4 game with PSVR support. Our best guess here at Push Square is some kind of Armored Core game, but the reality is that it could be anything.

FullbringIchigo said:

well it looks like most people have already grabbed their coats and left the party, it was fun mainly due to the chat room but i must do the same, adios

adf86 said:

That's you getting ideas above your station

adf86 said:

Then what's the point of E3 if you just want trailers and a tweet. E3 is time for game announcements both big and small. And no Sony didn't promise anything big

Is this really the hill you want to die on?

"And now expectations have been calibrated, perhaps we can cut the snark tomorrow -- or you can opt to skip the stream instead.""

FullbringIchigo said:

they built it up to be a big thing and then gave us a damp squib

FullbringIchigo said:

my thoughts exactly

WillMerfi said:

They just needed to release this trailer on youtube along with a tweet. That's the problem. They made it into a way bigger deal than it had reason to be

adf86 said:

Tetris in VR by the guys who have made one of the VR games around sounds awesome

jdv95 said:

we actually did. it would have been the best way to reveal new AAA games while e3 itself could be focused on the 4 games we know about

FullbringIchigo said:

cookies

adf86 said:

I'm disappointed in a lot of you. What on earth were you expecting?

FullbringIchigo said:

no but we expected more than Tetris with flashy lights

Paranoimia said:

Don't know what people were expecting. Surely they weren't thinking anything major or 'big' is going to be announced in these?

FullbringIchigo said:

you know that would have been fine without the hosts, all they needed to do was show the trailer

deepspace5d said:

coming from Rez Infinite, I doubt this will just be the same tetris experience that’s been out for decades. The trailer was very psychedelic. I’m looking forward to it.

jdv95 said:

nah the next game that will be revealed is supposed to be a non VR game.

Octane said:

Everyone is joking about these announcements, but I want to see your faces when they announce Knack 3 VR: Become Knack on Friday!

FullbringIchigo said:

@jdv95 WITH VR!!!!!

Knuckles-Fajita said:

Sammy getting wwaaaay too salty about this

jdv95 said:

so the next game that will be revealed in a couple of days for the ps4 will be candy crush i guess.

Octane said:

Sammy, what's E3 without snark?

FullbringIchigo said:

"so you thought we was going to announce a new game of substance AND it's gone"

SegaBlueSky said:

Don't worry guys I'm sure Metal Gear Solid VI will be announced tomorrow

SegaBlueSky said:

Not just a re-hash of the same old game

Snark? a 33yr old game that can be played free on lots of devices and we are supposed to be grateful??

jdv95 said:

sammy you can't blame us for being disappointed.

Rudy_Manchego said:

Watching it again, I think the game could be solid but the trailer was just weird.

Clutch_Nixon said:

It wasn't leaked because literally nobody cared enough

SegaBlueSky said:

Honestly I'm sure it'll be good, but when I saw the name come up I was just hoping for something more Rez-like I guess

WillMerfi said:

LMAO

FullbringIchigo said:

yeah because it wasn't worth leaking

Octane said:

At least it wasn't leaked

Clutch_Nixon said:

You can't improve on Tetris. The game boy version is still the best.

Knuckles-Fajita said:

Dont be too salty Sammy. Im sure Tetris in VR would be great but its reallllly hard to be hyped for a game thats over 30 years old.

FullbringIchigo said:

nope more snark tomorrow i'm afraid

Octane said:

Better luck next time I guess?

WillMerfi said:

I'm glad I held my pee for this long

FullbringIchigo said:

wait was that it, i've have illness longer than that

...NOT

well that was worth it....

ShogunRok said:

SICK!

FullbringIchigo said:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Clutch_Nixon said:

He didn't love that trailer. Nobody loved that trailer.

Knuckles-Fajita said:

I mean...Tetris VR is cool but...its 2018...its....just....Tetris...

FullbringIchigo said:

HA!

Octane said:

Tetris VR release date

ShogunRok said:

Ahhh, I found it funny anyway

ShogunRok said:

I wasn't expecting a MEGATON but Tetris lmao

Octane said:

This is the Sony pre-show dragged across five long agonising days.

FullbringIchigo said:

i know right

Rudy_Manchego said:

Looks good to me but possibly understanding that the hype was too high.

ShogunRok said:

I'm sure this'll be great, but... Here's Sony basically trying to get you hyped for E3. And they start with Tetris

jdv95 said:

tetris realy? how can you be exited for this?

Clutch_Nixon said:

I experienced the Tetris effect once. It was at a Mars Volta gig

FullbringIchigo said:

is this still 1989?

Tops said:

I can't watch this

is this it for today? just this??

Tops said:

Reselling Tetris in 2018.

Clutch_Nixon said:

TETRILEPSY

SegaBlueSky said:

I really like Tetsuya Mizuguchi but this doesn't look as good as Rez or Child of Eden

Clutch_Nixon said:

LOOK HOW HARD THEYRE TRYIN TO CARE

ShogunRok said:

Sick, now we get to see Sid and friends talk about Tetris for 20 minutes

Quintumply said:

Yeah this will be great

You should all know none of their Pre-E3 stuff will be huge AAA projects.

MarkyWings said:

tetris! lol

Clutch_Nixon said:

Oh **** off. Tetris?

epileptic inducing tetris

WillMerfi said:

Act excited Sid

get2sammyb said:

This will be good, I'm telling you

Clutch_Nixon said:

Selling 3 copies this fall

Idk what some of you expected.

SegaBlueSky said:

Oh man. Tetris? Really?

WillMerfi said:

Meh

Quintumply said:

Crikey

ShogunRok said:

PFFFFFFFT

SegaBlueSky said:

It's, uh...no Rez, that's for sure.

FullbringIchigo said:

get2sammyb said:

Tetris VR wow okay

WillMerfi said:

Tetris VR

Clutch_Nixon said:

Sorry but this looks crap

SegaBlueSky said:

WillMerfi said:

FullbringIchigo said:

Rudy_Manchego said:

Grrr keep stopping for me

FullbringIchigo said:

WHOOOO!

SegaBlueSky said:

What's wrong with you people? Mizuguchi is always good with me

Clutch_Nixon said:

Stream is choppy as hell

WillMerfi said:

Hype meter is decreasing fast

Clutch_Nixon said:

Luminous and Rez? Hmmmm. Already not interested.

FullbringIchigo said:

Octane said:

ShogunRok said:

TRASH!

SegaBlueSky said:

FullbringIchigo said:

Octane said:

Expected a trailer, getting Sid Shuman

Octane said:

The disappointment lol

get2sammyb said:

Here he is!

Also none of the games being announced up to monday are gonna be anything huge most likely.

Quintumply said:

Here we go!

FullbringIchigo said:

true and it beats some of the other publishers to the punch

Man I can't wait to see more Spider-Man on Monday night.

SegaBlueSky said:

As a side note, I'm quite enjoying this idea of having a new reveal every day leading up to the show. Nice way to ramp up the hype without online store listings ruining everything

FullbringIchigo said:

probably a racer of a FPS

WillMerfi said:

Bioshock VR let's go!

FullbringIchigo said:

it would make a nice Dynamic Theme actually

I'm at work so I'll have to get all my info here

I

SegaBlueSky said:

Can we please get this as a dynamic theme on PS4?

Rudy_Manchego said:

Quick video wee break

WillMerfi said:

Is this Pharrell?

RogerRoger said:

"Your call is important to us..."

get2sammyb said:

I'm digging this tune btw

RogerRoger said:

@get2sammyb "But why is 10 the highest?" "Because it's the highest."

ShogunRok said:

Bet it's that b*stard Sid Shuman

FullbringIchigo said:

@get2sammyb damn them, *shakes fist

get2sammyb said:

Trust them to call it Day 5 when I've called it Day 1

FullbringIchigo said:

@RogerRoger, happy to take the fall

Catherine VR

RogerRoger said:

@Fullbringlchigo Thanks, you saved me having to hit enter on the terrible joke I was about to make!

SegaBlueSky said:

Chic VR!

FullbringIchigo said:

.......did i say that out loud

ShogunRok said:

Nile Rodgers!

FullbringIchigo said:

sounds like the music from when your on hold to an adult chat line

Rudy_Manchego said:

I thought my spotify had broken when that music came on.

FullbringIchigo said:

feeling those beats

Quintumply said:

Just the sort of music I want to listen to as we soar through space

FullbringIchigo said:

@RogerRoger and it comes in a variety of colours

WillMerfi said:

Senran Kagura Vursting Reality

Resident Evil 2 remake

SegaBlueSky said:

Headache & Disorientation Simulator 2019 (with Pre-Order Bonus Sick Bag only at GAME).

FullbringIchigo said:

ShogunRok said:

Hentai MegaMix VR

FullbringIchigo said:

Call of Duty VR

Squiggle55 said:

Mother 3 probably

Knack with VR LOL

FullbringIchigo said:

Knack 3 with VR mode

spyro with VR

FullbringIchigo said:

could be a good game (if i could use VR)

Ace Combat with VR support

FullbringIchigo said:

15 minutes according to the countdown clock

Wonder if it will be a totally 'new' announeent or just 'new' game-play/news?

RidingMower said:

Hello everyone, hope everything is going good for you today. What is a good estimate about how much longer until this announcement happens?

FullbringIchigo said:

i really wanted to play it but i don't have a VR, not only is it too expensive for me but being blind in one eye makes it a pretty useless thing anyway

Shepherd_Tallon said:

X-Men Legends 3 with VR Blackbird experience.

Jaz007 said:

That was just monsters of the deep, I want that too, but it doesn't convince me to buy VR.

get2sammyb said:

Just Monster of the Deep. But it was cool man, I enjoyed that.

FullbringIchigo said:

@Jaz007, doesn't FFXV already have a VR mode or was that just for that Monster of the Deep game?

Jaz007 said:

Amored Core would do ways to get me to buy VR. Another dream announcement though, FFXV VR. I would totally play the game again in VR.

FullbringIchigo said:

i hope so

get2sammyb said:

I think depending on what we see today will give us an idea of what we can expect later in the week. I wouldn't anticipate anything crazy, but should be fun.

get2sammyb said:

Phwoar! Nice warm up eh guys?

Turismo4GT said:

Dammit, I have to go catch a bus shortly and very low on data. Oh well, what better way than this to burn it on?

FullbringIchigo said:

on topic i'm hoping it's a new game and not just a VR update for an old one

FullbringIchigo said:

@Rudy_Manchego sadly that game would actually have an audience

Rudy_Manchego said:

Seriously though, Last Guardian VR?

Rudy_Manchego said:

As long as its not Human Centipede VR edition, I'm game.
