What's going to be at the Playstation Experience?



Next week, Playstation will be unveiling apparently a "boatload of new games" at the Playstation Experience at Las Vegas, Nevada. Using some rumors and some of our own hypotheses, we've decided to set our shitty predictions to see if we at least get one right. Hopefully we do.

--------------------------

The Last Guardian

Though we're likely STILL far from a release date (let alone anything playable) it can be assumed through recent visible frustration by both members of the Sony 1st party publishing and Team Ico that we'll have at least some closure on where The Last Guardian currently is. This could be anything from a small mention to an official new announcement, as well as potentially them coming out and saying it's not happening.

Guerrilla Games' New IP

The first among many rumors is the idea that the studio famous for the Killzone series will be coming out with a new title. Though that may be true, I'm stumped as to what it is (mostly because new IP can pretty much mean anything). My best guess is that it may utilize one of the studio's biggest strengths -- its art, graphics, and world design.

New Square, Capcom, and Jaffe game

Among this apparent mound of new titles comes from the publishers Square Enix and Capcom, as well as God of War creator David Jaffe. Since these are likely not new IPs, they are a bit easier to guess.

It's hard to see Square Enix making any big announcements at this time besides more info on the upcoming Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3. It's also possible that something from its western counterpart, Eidos, maybe coming, but this could also just be more on the new Tomb Raider. I'm crossing my fingers for more information on Deus Ex Universe, but the chances are slim.

As for Capcom, I'm going to pull my bold prediction and say a new Street Fighter. As we've entered a new generation, its clear that the hype and buzz around IV will slowly but surely subside. It would make sense to take this time to continue it's popularity, as well as compete with the other new-gen fighting games such as Mortal Kombat X and Smash Bros. Oh, also Dragon's Dogma 2. Because fuck you I want Dragon's Dogma 2.

As for David Jaffe, well, fuck if I know. It's David Jaffe -- it could really be anything.

Blizzard Announcement

This was a rumor that surprised me, especially since Blizzcon just happened not that long ago. It would likely be something that they've already announced that is simply coming to Playstation. Maybe Overwatch? As of now, it's hard to think of anything.

--------------------

So, how much of this will be true? Probably none of it, mostly because we're horrible at guessing anything. But we can pretend.
