It is via an official press release that we learn today that Sony won’t hold a press conference at GamesCom but will make announcements during Paris Games Week on October 27th 2015.

“We’re delighted to announce that we will be hosting an international media briefing at Paris Games Week on 27th October. With the changes this year of E3 taking place a week later and Gamescom taking place earlier, we feel that both PlayStation and the wider industry would benefit from a major news milestone later in the year, during the most important period for gaming. We are excited about our plans and look forward to sharing some exciting announcements. We will share more information closer to the time.”

We asked the french  PlayStation Community Manager about GamesCom press conference and he confirmed to us that Sony won’t be holding one this year.

What do you think of the above? Is Sony making the right choice skipping GamesCom ?

    Maybe if they are going to put more focus on exclusives at E3, forget the 3rd party stuff, but keep the exclusive indies and 3rd party are doing their own thing at their conferences at E3 then they don’t need to have a Gamescom conference.

    I guess with TGS and PSX, maybe even some presence at the VGAs it’s not needed?

      VGAs don’t have a coverage as big as GamesCom. I think they are making a mistake not having a press briefing at Gamescom.

    C’est très bon pour nous la France et les PGW à venir, petit à petit notre E3 français prendra autant d’importance que la GC et l’E3 restent à savoir le contenu de leur conf’, des bonnes annonces ou des PowerPoint de leurs chiffres d’affaires..

    • Thibaud Rouquet

      Malheureusement l’organisation de l'”E3 français” n’est pas à la hauteur… Ca risque d’être foireux comme ces deux dernières années.

    I think they’ll concentrate on Playstation Experience ,I believe they’ve announced it as an annual event.

    • Thibaud Rouquet

      I think they did. And don’t forget there will be a show at TGS too. Sony will have plenty to show this year.

        They basically said that it was because the events are too close together, and they want to spread the announcements out a bit.. therefore Gamescom wasn’t going to work out.. since E3 was pushed back, and Gamescom was pushed forward.

        • Thibaud Rouquet

          Yep that’s exactly what the article says.

  • The One

    Lmao wow… Sony haven’t got anything worth to show, that’s why. Instead they’ll be making announcements at an unknown, secluded venue. Looks like My MS will be stealing the show then.

    • GotNews4Ya

      Playstation Experience was an unknown, unheard of before event.. and it was pretty successful.. Expect their to be another one of those this year as well.

    Sony doesn’t have the funds to fly to Europe and make a presentation it seems. They’ll probably do a Direct Feed event for Gamescom like Nintendo has been doing.

    • GotNews4Ya

      Seriously..? lol.. They moved their conference back to Paris Week.. which last time I checked was in Europe still…

      • XanderZane41

        Microsoft will be at both Gamescom and the Paris Week convention. Trust me, Sony is definitely trying to save money. Gamescom is the 2nd biggest gaming conference. The Paris event will be a lot cheaper to host and it definitely won’t cost as much as Gamescom would.

    Look at all the bitter and insecure Xbox fanboys in these comments. Phew. They seem to be starving for attention and are poised to take any shot at Sony that they can take as if they have a vendetta against them.

    • Poor PS Poor people

      Look at the crying $0N¥ pauper called Jason Mounce once again and laugh at his poverty!

        As silly, childish and autistic as your post is, need I remind you desperate attention-seeking troll-wannabes that I own a PC and play on Steam more than I do on consoles? lmfao. I can’t exactly be categorized as a ‘Sony fanboy’ as if I only play on a PS console and that’s it. I have a 10 and 11 year old Steam account, probably have been gaming since you were in diapers too. 😛
