    I thought it would be handy to have a thread to aggregate the news coming out of this event.

    What is the Playstation Experience?

    It's a community-focused event Sony is organizing to promote its products in the presence of some of its biggest fans. Think of the stuff they usually do at trade shows like E3 or game awards shows. As our very own Jeff Gerstmann has mentioned a few times, the relevance of E3 seems to be waning and it looks like more and more developers/publishers are organising their own shows/conventions to promote their products and "connect" with their fans. (Recent example: Firaxicon, early example: Blizzcon)

    When?

    Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7 2014.

    Where?

    The Sands Expo and Convention Center Halls A & B, Las Vegas, Nevada.

    What can we expect?

    1. Sony has been teasing some new titles recently and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are formally announced at the event.
    2. There will also be developer panels (people familiar with PAX or GDC probably have a good idea how those work)
    3. Other than that the main draw will probably be a buttload of kiosks where people can play upcoming, new and not-so-new Sony video games.

    Confirmed games:

    1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
    2. The Order: 1886™
    3. Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below
    4. Bloodborne
    5. Until Dawn™
    6. Mortal Kombat X
    7. No Man's Sky
    8. Battlefield™ Hardline
    9. Batman™: Arkham Knight
    10. The Witness
    11. Tearaway™ Unfolded
    12. PlanetSide®2

    Confirmed developers:

    P.S.

    More stuff will probably appear on https://www.youtube.com/user/PlayStation/videos, possibly making this thread obsolete. Mods are of course free to close this if it doesn't go anywhere.

    Adam Boyes is a national treasure. He's basically the Canadian Declaration of Independence.

    I'm really hoping they have Persona 5 and Disgaea 5 at this event.

    After reading the "Art of Naughty Dog" book, I'm really hyped in hopes to see some mindblowing Uncharted 4 gameplay revealed...or at least another cinematic trailer.

    @dallas_raines: This is actually way better and less cringe-worthy than the usual E3 speeches and similar events. Adam Boyes and Shuhei Yoshida are great faces for Sony.

    Hey guess what, just like the rumor for The Game Awards, there are now rumors that Fallout 4 is being shown. I doubt it, Fallout/TES and Playstation don't mix so well.

    That was because Xbox was always the console that was most like a PC but now both the Playstation and the Xbox are PCs so they shouldn't have nearly as many problems.

    Yeah, hoping to see what a next gen Uncharted looks like. I'd be happy seeing a little more of Bloodborne, too.

    Announce Dark Cloud 3 or else I'll be dissapointed. Seriously, anyone hyped for another Uncharted game? We have enough shootbang pew pew games already. We need to ask them to diversify the games line-up, not continue to embolden heavily scripted shooters.

    I'll be there and documenting everything possible. Going to the opening keynote and all of the panels that don't overlap. If any duders will be there, hit me up for a drink or two.

    The day after the Game Awards too. I'm thrilled to have some gaming events here in Vegas for once. Should be a fun weekend.

    Uncharted 4 will definitely be there, I'm not expecting it to be playable yet. I'm hoping to get my hands on No Man's Sky, and I want to try out Project Morpheus. Other than that, I'm just going with the flow. Will try to get pics,videos, and thoughts up as quickly as possible.

    @hassun: It is free, I downloaded it already for my Vita and PS4. I paid 0 cents for it. Apparently it's only in the EU atm though so US users will have to make an EU account to get access to it, or wait for them to bring it over.


    *Edit* According to IGN UK it'll be on the NA store later tonight.

    I wonder how Uncharted 4 is going. I loved the first three games (two is my favourite, three was good but I felt it hit some of the same notes of two a bit too often, but still a great game), but I am concerned regarding the fourth game. They seemed to tie the story up with the ending of Uncharted 3 and with the people who left Naughty Dog, it suggests the game is having issues. Is this something others are feeling?

    Hopefully the game is great, it would be something that would push me more towards going two consoles again this cycle as currently it feels like there is not much for me on PlayStation at the moment to warrant a second console purchase (this is for me however, I can see the reasons others may want to, such as Little Big Planet 3 I hear is good, but I did not enjoy the others so much so it is something I would likely skip or buy if I had a PS4 just as it was exclusive to it).

    Looking forward to seeing what Sony can show, regardless of how Uncharted 4 turns out at this event, they had a good E3 and if they can build more momentum with the software, that only pushes Microsoft and Nintendo to work just as hard to wow us gamers.

    The impression I've gotten is that the people leaving have put the guys responsible for Uncharted 2 back in the drivers seat for 4, which is awesome.

    Sooo...I won't be on the internet from Friday evening to Saturday evening. That covers both the Game Awards and the PS Experience. So Saturday night I should come back to either a pile of excitement, a pile of disappointment, or a pile of apathy.

    Edit: Judging by some recent rumors and news, it's practically guaranteed that Capcom will announce a new PS4 game at the event.

    @johnlocke: I really hope they do something interesting with what seems like the final installment. Wolfenstein this year reminded of how quickly I fell in love with Uncharted 1's characters. I did quite enjoy Uncharted 3 but I don't think they did right by those characters and I'd like to see them take another swing at sending that crew off properly.

    You will share my disappointment, the same one I have been having the last decade or so since we've had Dark Cloud 2. Well Rogue Galaxy was pretty good so there was that, but no Dark Cloud 2. Tell you what, personally I am 99% sure that by the time the Last Guardian comes out, we will have heard about Dark Cloud 3.

    I'm A-OK with Naughty Dog doing what they have done really well for the past several years though: delivering the most Indiana Jones-like experience you can have in a game, this side of Fate of Atlantis. As far as "heavily scripted shooters" go, I've played Uncharted 1-3, Tomb Raider, and intend to play the Last of Us at some point. Don't see a reason to play another one, and I'm not tired of that genre as a result.

    @hammondoftexas: I know it probably won't happen, but I think it is in playstation and bethesda's best interest to prove that their next game will be able to run on the ps4. Since the ps4 is the #1 in sales it could be happen. Plus Sony got Bethesda to announce ESO for the consoles (who knows if that is still coming out). At this point, I doubt Fallout 4 will be announced this week though.

    I really want to see some more of The Order, Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and No Man's Sky, everything else is bonus :)

    I think they'll tease some new games. Capcom will announce something special, I think it might be Street Fighter related. If they re-announce The Last Guardian, then they better do it right this time and show some gameplay as well and a release date somewhere in 2015. Hopefully we'll see the new game from Guerrilla, the one with the robot dinosaurs and the red haired woman, but they might keep that one for E3.

    I'm not expecting a lot from this somehow. Just short (CG) teasers of new stuff and snippets of gameplay from games we already know about.
