3. Quick and dirty forum bets: PS5

Quick and dirty forum bets: PS5


  • I know we just got a betting special, but transposing the arcane rules and regs Don and Huber are using to the forum setting would be tough and require more time and effort than I'm willing to devote. Also, there's not much time left before the actual event, so I just came up with a few simple Y/N questions for predictions:

    Will a Batman TRAILER be shown?

    Will a Harry Potter game be shown (trailer, gameplay, or title card)?

    Will Elden Ring GAMEPLAY be shown? (A HUD /menu system is shown)

    Will we get a release date AND price for the PS5?

    Will more than 5 individual games by N. American or European devs be shown? (Collections count as one unless different studios worked on different games)?

    Will Knack reveal himself?

    Will the words "Silent Hill" appear onscreen in text (not including subs)?

    Will Kojima reveal himself?

    Will the sequel to Horizon be revealed?

    Will a previously unannounced racing game be revealed?

    Will the total presentation run longer than 1 hour and 10 minutes?

    Will the number of new next gen games featured (not remasters/reboots/HD collections, etc) be more than 7?

    Bonus/tiebreaker:
    How many times during the EZA live reaction stream will the official Sony feed stutter, freeze, or glitch? (unintentionally, not as part of a trailer or something)

  • Sounds fun, here's my predictions:

    @tokyoslim said in Quick and dirty forum bets: PS5:

    Will a Batman TRAILER be shown?

    No. I think logically speaking most individual games have less than a 50% chance of appearing. In my model, you really need something to be 1st party or highly expected to be coming to PS5 to raise that above 50%.

    Will a Harry Potter game be shown (trailer, gameplay, or title card)?

    No.

    Will Elden Ring GAMEPLAY be shown?

    No.

    Will we get a release date AND price for the PS5?

    Unfortunately no. Even in normal years, these first big console presentations have a nasty habit of kicking that can down the road. They really ought to give us this information during console reveals, but I think an exact launch date will be the big hurdle. (if not the price as well!) We don't know either from Microsoft, and they are further down this "marketing/press announcement" road.

    Will more than 5 individual games by N. American or European devs be shown? (Collections count as one unless different studios worked on different games)?

    Yes. Even if Japan is half of their games, getting 12+ games shown total isn't that huge of a target to exceed. Indies will fill that up nicely. (And what about N. American 1st party studios...do they count?)

    Will Knack reveal himself?

    Yes.

    Will the words "Silent Hill" appear onscreen in text (not including subs)?

    No. (Sorry!)

    Will Kojima reveal himself?

    Yes. Tough call. There some chance he could appear on camera attached to a new trailer, but I think that chance is also low so soon after Death Stranding. On the other hand, Kojima would be a good person to use for those "here are developers saying nice things about how easy our new system is to program and how they have exctigin ideas/can't wait/new possibilities etc." that we often get for new consoles.

    Will the sequel to Horizon be revealed?

    Yes.

    Will a previously unannounced racing game be revealed?

    Yes. Racing is such a new console staple, so eh why not this time?

    Will the total presentation run longer than 1 hour and 10 minutes?

    No, in their minds this is not an E3 press conference, it is the reveal event. They will want to keep it tight because this is their biggest moment to get eyeballs on PS5.

    Will the number of new next gen games featured (not remasters/reboots/HD collections, etc) be more than 7?

    Yes. Microsoft managed it, didn't they?

    Bonus/tiebreaker:
    How many times during the EZA live reaction stream will the official Sony feed stutter, freeze, or glitch?

    Once.

    The "Events" section on PS4 lists the show as 2 hours, so here's hoping.

  • Liking the varied bets I'm getting so far. Seems like a pretty good spread.
    Except for the tiebreakers, which is mostly 1's and 5's. lol Should have come up with something better.
