Quote:
Sony Interactive Entertainment has just confirmed that they will not be making a showing at next year's E3 conference. In an interview with Game Informer, Sony execs claimed that the company is looking for "inventive opportunities to engage the community" as an alternative to a live conference. This marks the second time Sony has skipped out on press conferences in recent time, with PlayStation Experience 2018 being cancelled as well. The reason for skipping PSX 2018 was reportedly due to a lack of footage and information available to be given about upcoming games, but by the time E3 2019 rolls around, PlayStation users will be looking forward to major exclusive titles like Death Stranding, the Last of Us Part 2, Dreams, and Ghosts of Tsushima, all scheduled for a launch in 2019. While Nintendo hosts Nintendo Directs during E3, and EA does EA Play offsite a few days prior, Sony has no plans for a press conference or announcement of upcoming games near that timeframe. This puts an end to the 24 year streak of Sony's attendance at E3, starting all the way back in 1995.


So Sony's out, Nintendo doesn't really do E3's anymore either. They may as well just cancel E3.

Useless waste of money with bullshit trailers/teasers and barely any info. Nothing more than a paid vacation for journos.

They will probably have their own show in 2019 to announce the PS5.

E3 would make the hype less exciting I guess?

Makes sense.

With E3, PSX and VGA and more there's just too many events that scream for big announcements.

One big event with all the big announcements instead of spreading everything over 4 or something is gonna be way easier to live up to expectations.


We're skipping PSX this year for the same reason I assume. It didn't work out well last year with VGA and PSX so close together and even some shared content there.

Likot Mosuskekim, Woodcutter cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Elephant.
