They’re renting out theatres across the country to hold live event watch parties for it, which is very strange and not something they’ve ever done before.

Surely you don’t do that if it’s just going to be mid right?

What are some things you think could/will show up there? I think we see


Code Veronica remakes first trailer and RE9s DLC trailer

FF7 remake part 3s first trailer

Probably something big first party single player focused; likely I’d guess Naughty dogs new game which I personally think looks awful.

Perhaps the final trailer for a game I’m really looking forward to, phantom blade zero as their marketing should be about to kick into full swing with launch about 2.5 months away

I had to look this up because you exaggerated a bit it seems. It’s only Alamo drafthouses in select cities.

Regardless, that could only mean one thing - bloodborne 2

Yeah I didn’t mean to imply that it would be widespread it’s a very selected for area thing. It’s still really out of normal cadence.

Ive said said for a while bloodborne is their like break glass in case of emergency IP. They might well be in that situation. They would have had to convince fromsoft to be on board with it though

I’m joking. I don’t believe it will ever happen honestly. It won’t stop fanboys from predicting it though

Agreed. I don’t think Fromsoft or specifically Miyazaki wants to do it. Sony theoretically could make it by handing it off to someone else but that would be doomed from the jump

It could also maybe mean they paid take 2 however much money it took to acquire the marketing rights to put the final GTA 6 trailer in it.

Don't have a lot of hope in current Sony leadership.

They're a disaster.

if it even does mean they have a big announcement then maybe something along the lines of
New god of war news
Naughty dog big update (no one cares except sony probably though)
Something big from the upcoming Wolverine game
Brand new IP
Bloodborne remaster ( )

This game is coming soon. It is likely to launch in Feb or March next year on a 3 year turn around from Rebirth.

SQE is going to unveil it soon. Hamaguchi has been doing an insane amount of press and interviews recently.

im sure you are right. Rebirth just kinda soured me on the whole project. Im not overly excited to hear or see anything from it right now.

But if the turn based rumors are true... OMG.


Maybe expedition 33 woke them the frick up, their combat system is awful.

I like the combat in the the remakes.

I do think the way forward and the future for FF is building a game with a system that can be played in both action and turn based modes.

They might now be able to implement this until FF17 though, I just have a hard time believing the remake trilogy’s mechanics and other demands can accommodate it when it likely wasn’t planned for from the outset

Hopefully they let business unit one both keep the entire team together and move on to be the ones who make 17 after they ship part 3 of the remake. Ever since 10 SQE does the dumbest shite where after a team makes a FF game they disband it and create a new team for the next one. CB1 staying together from part 1 of this remake all the way to part 3 retains immense institutional knowledge and ways of working together that is allowing the game to have a 3 year turn around
