E3 is coming back this year in an all-digital form, after sitting out last year due to the pandemic. There are quite a few big-name players attached to participate, including Nintendo with their Switch, Microsoft's Xbox, Capcom, and Ubisoft, but (maybe unsurprisingly) Sony is not among them. Since 2019, Sony has done their own thing during E3, and it looks like this year will be no different. But does a lack of PlayStation and an all-digital format spell the end of in-person E3 as we know it? And do gamers really care if it's a digital E3 2021? What do you think? Sound off in the comments!
#IGN #E32021
sony ta falindo, queriam oq?
Take a drink every time they remind you about the coof or lockdown.
Sony will just give another disappointing 15 minute state of play as a response and say it's enough.
Reminder that SONY is shutting down communities and PS3,PSP, and VITA store fronts. Another concern has come up however. PS3 & PS4 will lose the ability to play games after the CMOS battery dies. With no servers to connect too this can't be corrected. This currently means the above SONY systems have a death clock for your digital games and PS4 currently won't even play your discs it seems. Spread the word and even voice your rage at SONY. If you never take action and do your part in showing companies what won't be tolerated, your choose to give them your consent. Sony has taken steps to undo your library in the near future. Be on the early frontline to do something about it. @everyone
Well you see Sony is waiting to show off their next big thing: PlayStation 5.
It's out, you guys are just slow.
What the ps5 is finally coming out.
E3 is so pointless
Sony cancels Days Gone 2 and greenlights The Last of Us Remake 🤦♂️ No wonder they're a no show.
Sony’s reply when asked to E3 🖕
vaccinated sheeple. immune for 1 strain, for 4 month. For a virus with multiple strains. thats logic.
Sony has done there own thing for a few years
Hopefully we get a new jojo game
Bussies!!!! if you build it, they will come!
Saints row 5
🧢
Is this year's E3 still going to be riddled with bootlicking influencers like the ESA said they wanted E3 to include going forward?
Sony has nothing interesting
Lets hope 2k shows the new bioshock
No wonder they are skipping it and hiding in shame, MS straight up making them look like fools. Not like they have a single exclusive shooter or RPG franchise to show anyways because they are now all MS exclusives 😂😂😂
Sony has been out performed in their last E3s so this make sense.
Sony doesn’t need E3. E3 needs Sony Microsoft and Nintendo ain’t it well Nintendo is but Microsoft can kick rocks they should just merge with Sony’s gaming department and stick to whatever else they have
Lol nah your tripping.
Skyrim.
Tbf Sony barely got any new games to show
Lmao
The only disappointment we had from Sony opting out of E3 was TLOU2 and it wasn’t even the trailers. It was the game it self
Sony doesn't need E3, theyre doing just fine without it. I'd rather they keep putting money into events like Evo so we can keep our communities alive.
Pain nothing but pain
Pian
Yes, know pain
*Sony* finna pull an *Endgame* coming out last minute through a portal.
E3 serves the microsoft business model. Same model they've had since the 90s, all form no substance. Superficial hype meant to generate $. The products, the art, all irrelevant. So yeah, E3 can go, the sooner the multi level marketing mentality of Microsoftian capitalism dies, the better.
Sony don't need E3, E3 need Sony. Simple.
Nah
E3 should be digital anyways....
Are they explaining sarcasm?
Might be because there's only 3 people in the world with a ps5 so it's a waste for Sony to turn up
Sony knows E3 is on a downhill trend
@Talion Spartan soon PS4 stores are going to be shut
No it's Sony who has been going downhill
Hmmmm Konami hey? Have a feeling they going to officially confirm those rumoured two Silent Hill games apparently in the works and that Metal Gear Solid remake ???
New silent hill?
E3 isn't neccessary in today's world
Sony have state of play, e3 is nothing special, now nobody wait to e3 to show big games, nobody need e3 now, covid change this.
P
Well, it is either panic stations at Sony, or they are remaining calm because they have an ace up their sleeve, the fact is it is a true Schrodinger's cat conundrum, they'll have to open the box for us to see whether it is dead or alive, or if there was even a cat at all.
Or if the box even exist.
Oooooh E3
Who else hopes to hear anything about GTA 6 come on Rockstar please
@L0NEWOLF 95 it wont gta is to big and its like eminem like him or not the more you try to cancel him the bigger hes going to get.
@Faulk Smash Its way more intense now then back in 2013 when GTA 5 came out tho hopefully it doesn't.
@L0NEWOLF 95 Cancel culture can't get GTA. it's tried many times
Depends if cancel culture bans it
Why would SONY sign on. Don't they own EVO
sony don’t need e3 - e3 needs sony, well done 👏 to sony
It's a digital event, they could easily make their own event with no extra cost.
your brain is huge
E3 needs Sony more than Sony needs E3
That's why they were always saving the Sony press conference for the last.
No one needs Sony. They should stick with making more ps5 consoles
Sony is a ship without a captain imo
@gamer480 a ship without a captain drifts aimlessly waiting to be plundered from it's gold
@Preston Onuselogu What is even your point? Sony makes great games and that's the only thing that matters, what Sony does as a company is not my concern
@gamer480 Without a captain what is your point
Still a ship full of gold..
What they gonna show tho? Gow? Cool but what else?
They literally have hundreds of unused IP from alot of different genres
They literally have hundreds of unused IP from different genres
E3 will only be a success if Elden Ring appears.
Gow you mean
no
bro that guy on the left wears his headphones so weird
PlayStation has no news
Fuckers. Need GOW news.
Oooooooooooooooh... oh nvm
Yea, because Sony realizes that this pandemic is nowhere near over.
And Not because they have planned their own event
whats that got to do with anything? there's no congregation, its digital. 🤫
LET'S HOPE SONY IS SITTING OUT TO DROP MORE PS5'S
It's going to get worse. Global chip shortages.
nope
Dammit Sony
Sony is an afterthought for me anyways
@MR that's for true
Also Al gore: *proceeds to click on Sony related video to comment*
Sony has no games, thats why. And no need for Ps5 , exclusives comes to pc
Not all exclusives. Microsimps Literally powering your dreams, because y’all don’t have games to power 😂
Wait 5 years then.
Only some last gen exclusive
IGN=Xbots
flexin ur ps5 at the start huh ? not cool
Is a conference real if it’s on your computer
Bcs sony don't have anything to show.
Never gonna go back either. Waste of money, better having their own thing.
Sony has nothing to show no exciting exclusives they've been riding the woke train 🚆 and it's already starting to derail 🤣
@Munther Mohamed haha $ony for the payers Nothing but cinematic walking simulators
Keep saying that to your self because we both know that's not true 😂
Lmao
As if Microsoft is non woke lol
Well you know how it is, if you don't have anything to show that's worth a grand stage showcase, then it's best to not force what little you do have onto one. It saves a whole lot of unnecessary time being spent, saves money and keeps the needle in that cringoid meter laying at 0.
@MRVery true.
They’re having their own event. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all bigger than E3 none of them need it.
Cuz sony knows wtf they doing and they dont need E3
@KK Daze Tell that to millions who chose playstation over Xbox. PS5 is killing it in sales.😉
@A dog with a keyboard this is about current gen and PS5 looks like another flop
@KK Daze you’re right, but they do WANT Sony lol
@KK Daze over 100 million people thinks you are pathetic.
Everyone is at home glued to their screens and Sony doesn't show up to E3 to show anything to those people... must be a big brain move i'm missing
Why is he purple....
E3 is coming and still no elden ring
@fake todd howard Don't get your hopes up that much. The demo leak was being played on Playstation. Sony's next PlayStation Experience is going to be fun.😉
But microsoft has the marketing rights It literly says it And it says coming to pc,ps4,xbox one and of course it will come to next gen kid So ps5,xbox seires x,s I'm like 99% percant sure it will be shown in E3 And btw what does "made an aliance with" mean? Lmao
@fake todd howard Eldin Ring is from soft wihch Sony made an alliance with now and Eldin Ring was leaked running on PS5. So guess things changed. Sony has surprises come next PlayStation Experience.😉
@Turd Ferguson a LOT of people would disagree
@Turd Ferguson you literly commented So you care :))))
Microsoft left E3 years ago and does their own thing in the Microsoft theater down the street
@TheGoncas2 they stopped buying showfloor space 3 years ago. They may have had a meeting room but like EA they have no floor space
But they were still on the showfloor showing demos.
At last
Sony has no games
You wish
Do you listen to yourself when you talk?
E3 do not need Sony.
None of them need E3 so whats your point.
Where have you gone to SPIDERMAN!?
@Asta Liebe oh no, that was a Spiderman 2 reference. Because of Sony not being at E3 again.
The wait between the game before marvels spider-man and marvels spider-man was longer than this wait is.
Most people haven't attended E3 so even all digital will feel pretty much like the real deal. Only that the keynotes will be prerecorded
Sony been taking Ls lately man
Ummmm State of Play???
Not really...they do they own event...the have done this for 3 years...
Can’t wait for E3!!!!
Sony's sitting it out because they have literally nothing to show. Lol.
Yeah ...of course ...u said the same when they posponed the event last year...
Sony is following rockstars footsteps. Doing things on their own terms, not following the industry rules
@LoboTimbs no u
Sony doesn't need anyone lmao
@Neilos 1714 "Nobody asked for".... lmao get out of here
@Turd Ferguson bro you’re such a fanboy, it’s your loss you don’t play GOTY games
Sony isn't following Rockstars Footsteps they still announce games before they come out to, Rockstar is owned by Take2, Sony is Sony
Sony is the company equivalent of a hipster douchebag
Switch Pro?
Sony don’t need E3. They are fine on there own.
& Sony will still come out on top lol
@KK Daze 79 Billion is being broke? Damn
No one cares.....
You do apparently lol
Imagine caring about what Sony does in 2021? lmao eww
Apparently you do, seeing how you bothered to comment on a Sony related video 😂
How is sony it’s key player???
Just release Demon Souls Remake on PC, quit f***ing around Blue Point.
Sony owns that IP so more than likely not gonna happen, but would be great as more people would get to play that sweet masterpiece.
Probably too busy porting exclusives to PC.
Whats this tension between e3 and sony nowadays?
@SoNGY 8 smart
@SoNGY 8 rockstar is part of take two so yes they are part of E3 this year. Only EA and Activision are missing but both have almost same games every year so not missing much
@Naom Darth its 50/50, Sony, EA, Activision, Bandai Namco, Rockstar and few more arent attending
@SoNGY 8 most big publishers are attending E3 this year.
@SoNGY 8 at least then we can't get a gameplay demo that's lies just like Anthem.
Is techland present
Everyone loved to hate E3. While it was around everyone hated on it and as soon as it left everyone started saying that they wanted it back
@Lu The Gamecat it’s a waste of money for publishers who can just have their own events. Moreover the ESA is a VERY shady organization
That's how the world works.
@Dion Its been a flop for years
Nobody wants it back, nobody asked for it
@Dion there are now 5 comments here from people specifically saying that they hate E3
Sony is a Pimp named :
Sad bastards
Ps5 is the xbox one of next gen!
PlayStation people lol
@Quentin B it would sell more even without scalpers
Delete this comment you loser, nobody even gave you a like you twat
Bad joke
@Jay 767 wait is it actually selling more even though not many ppl have one
Well there goes any hope that we didn't have for Spider-Man 2
@Asta Liebe It was a joke we all knew it wasn't going to be there even if Sony was there
Dude the miles morales spidermam just came out like 5 months ago. Why would they have a sequel ready when they need to make the game for 2 new consoles that have better graphics than the previous generation. It'll take longer to make bigger games.
@shutter also we thought the arkham series was done now we have kill the justice league
@Epic Zilla CD they're done with that franchise. give it up.
Or Spider-Man
Who cares, sony is becoming so arrogant and full of themselves it hurts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
Sony this generation is being scared WTH?
They will do there own show like last year
Japanese PlayStation afraid of American Xbox 💪
@PS5 OWNER you sound like a troll based on your name and your comment. Carry on
@Symphonizexx "dominate" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ice cold Newz that’s why xbox will dominate if they have an official support in asia, playstation will die. Let PC + Nintendo + Xbox dominate
Xbox being afraid of Spider-man 2 :-)
@Symphonizexx true cause Xbox lately been buying up all these Japanese companies to spread Xbox in Asia country’s which is the biggest gamer/consumers plus Americans love Japanese stuff in terms of anime’s and video games so this will hurt sony either later on or in the future
Sony key player? Parfavaaar
im getting tired of Sony doing this🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Sony's dropping out but Nintendo isn't? What sort of loopy land have we entered?
Hasn't Nintendo been winning that past couple E3s since 2017?
It's not a surprise, it's the same as 2019.
*but Sony is still sitting it out
Well Sony better have some event soon, still waiting for worth while games for my PS5.
Xbox is in a even worse position. No decent exclusives
@Asta Liebe Cross gen game
@Aman Prasad resident evil 8?
Looks like you gonna be waiting until next year because this year is just cross gen games and multiplats.
@Aman Prasad and deathloopbis just a timed exclusive. Agree with Ratchet,n AA kids linear game. Just not interested
