Apparently not affiliated with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest.

Well then:

Geoff just took Europe's largest gaming event and made it part of his personal brand. American imperialism at its finest!

Summer Game Fest assimilates Double Fine's Day of the Devs:

"I thought you had died with E3..."
"Die? No! Became stronger, yes."

So a summer game fest amounts to a nerd web-cast. Throw in some confetti and booze and we're a step or two away from a shindig.

Sony's press conference:

 

[Alfgart]

The list of games that will be announced for PS5 has already been leaked. Dunno if it has been posted in another thread already.

I believe Sims 5 purely because EA hasn't announced a new expansion pack (only a minor stuff pack) in an unusually long time for the DLC factory that is Sims 4.

"A next-gen remake of an aging PC roleplayer" sounds like I'm no longer fit for this world.

Everything has been assimilated into Summer Game Fest. Resistance is futile, you will drink Mountain Drew.

Kudos to Geoff.

Have they even released enough DLC to match the amount of content of Sims 3?

 

[deuxhero]

No. Even base game Sims 3 has more content. Not even exagerating for some critical areas.

 

[Zlaja]

LOL at listing super distant stuff like Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield as "coming to PS5". Yeah, that really makes me excited about the new console.

Also, I'm relieved to know that NHL 21 and Madden 21 are coming to PS5. Was worried there for a second.

And finally, Ellie from The Last Of Us 2 looks nothing like her younger self from the first game. Sure, she's older here but that's not the same person, man. And that tattoo on her arm is disgusting.

I don't know if this should go in this thread or elsewhere:

Sony Interactive Entertainment has delayed the PlayStation 5 reveal event that was originally planned for June 4, 2020. This announcement comes as the world reacts to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, sparking worldwide protests against police violence.

Sony published the statement confirming the PS5 reveal delay on PlayStation's official Twitter account in the afternoon Monday, June 1. This was just three days before the event was supposed to take place, but it comes following a weekend of protests around the world over the death of George Floyd and police brutality. No new date for the presentation is set.

"We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4," the post reads. "While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration, and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.

This PS5 event was originally announced on Friday, May 29, and was supposed to "give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday," according to PlayStation Blog. Players were hoping to see anticipated but unrevealed PS5 titles like Horizon Zero Dawn 2 or the 2020 Call of Duty game, but we will now have to wait a bit longer to learn about what games will be on PS5 at launch.


The PS5 reveal event was also set to kick off a busy June for game announcements, with many presentations planned by IGN, PC Gamer, Microsoft, and more this month. It remains to be seen if any of these other events will also be delayed like the PS5 event or EA's Madden NFL 21 reveal. As PlayStation's message explains, now is not the time to celebrate new video games and video game hardware. It's a time for companies like Sony to "stand back" to "allow more important voices to be heard." It's a tasteful decision that hopefully won't frustrate too many gamers out there who were probably looking forward to the event.

Many gaming companies like EA, Astro, and Riot Games have published messages in support of the protests over the past several days. Earlier on June 1, the official PlayStation Twitter account tweeted a message saying, "We denounce systemic racism and violence against the Black community. We will continue to work towards a future marked by empathy and inclusion and stand with our Black creators, players, employees, families, and friends. #BlackLivesMatter."

Clearly, Sony knows that now is not a good time for the PS5 reveal, and has decided to push the reveal date back as a result. 2020 has been a year full of delays for the publisher, who pushed back The Last of Us Part II, Iron Man VR, and Ghost of Tsushima due to Covid-19.

This story will be updated if more information on Sony's decision arises.

PS5 WILL BE RELEASED IN TIME FOR THE 2020 HOLIDAYS.

I'm curious why you rated it "sheeple"

Probably because the whole article is bullshit garbage targeted at sheeple. "Not time for celebration" oh fuck off with that virtue signalling
