Sony will hold a European press conference this year, as it’s revealed that it’ll be broadcasting live from the French capital as it holds its second ever Paris Games Week media briefing. The company skipped on a showcase in its most popular territory last year, favouring E3 and PlayStation Experience. We already know that PSX 2017 will take place in December, however, so it seems like it’s just got a lot to talk about this year.
The platform holder's Paris-based presser will take place on 30th October at 16:00 in the UK – or 17:00 across the channel. That means you’ll need to get up early if you’re in North America but, hey, no complaining – you should see the ungodly hours we have to deal with over here during E3.
At its previous Paris Games Week briefing, Sony revealed the likes of Gran Turismo Sport and Detroit: Become Human, in addition to several smaller games. We’d expect a similar showcase this year, perhaps centring on new PlayStation VR projects and European developed titles like Media Molecule’s missing in action Dreams. Of course, we’ll bring you all of the build-up and breaking news here at Push Square.

Time to speculate speculate speculate... I'll vote a new announcement for a From Software game. I know they are supposedly working on several but seems like a good time.
Syphon Filter for PS4.... a man can dream.
@Rudy_Manchego I was convinced Bloodborne 2 would be at E3 and was completely wrong so I'm not getting my hopes up on that front.
Dark Cloud 3
I wonder if this is where Sony will announce its Pro price drop - a week before MS releases its Xbox One X. Also with MS being very quiet about VR, it could be another area that Sony could focus on too. Arguably the only main issue with Sony's E3 was the fact that the majority of games were revealed last year and that these were still a 'year' away - well 2018 onwards. It lacked the 'big' surprise that many hoped or expected - the Project from Sucker-Punch, From Softwares new game (maybe Bloodbourne 2) - even RDR2 was anticipated so E3 fell a bit flat despite the fact it still had quality games with new gameplay to show.
Eventhough I don't own a PSVR hopefully one of the big reveals will be a killer app for it. Not my kind of thing, but there's clearly a market for VR so I'd like to see it be successful, finally.
@get2sammyb I know you are right but I think something else is in the works and I wouldn't be surprised if Sony has leveraged some sort of exclusivity deal for something. That said, I don't think we'll see a Bloodborne 2 but another new iteration on the format.
Shen Mue HD as revealed by GAME of all places.
@Gamer83 RE7 is a killer app for it, making more FPS games fully playable in VR would be a massive boost for the kit
@Rudy_Manchego at this point the expectation/anticipation for a bloodborne 2 esque title is so great , i wouldnt new surprised to see it saved for psx 2017 along with the new game from sucker punch (playing infamous second son now and loving it!)
I reckon Paris will see updates on detroit and dreams, a pro price drop ; and agree hopefully more vr titles and experiences. Doubt there will be much in the way of a major announcement at this point, especially as its so close to Tokyo game show
Finally a suitable time for a conference, when I'm not fighting the urge to sleep or at work.
Four conferences in one year though 👀👀👀
@get2sammyb I still believe. Bloodborne 2 would sell by the bucketload, so it's like From/Sony just don't like making money if they don't continue the series, and we know that's not the case.
@Rob_230 I think it makes sense from a Sony perspective, but I do think that the Soulsborne series are one of diminishing returns if they just do copy and paste sequels. I think you are probably right about PSX2017 though I guess it depends on what the release date is - if first half of 2018 they may announce in October to give the hype train six months or so. A guy can dream right!
@GlynCR
RE VII is a nice showcase for it but it does need something exclusive. I think they were hoping Farpoint would be that game but it never seemed to take off.
@Gamer83 Er, Farpoint smashed their expectations and is still hard to find in many shops.
There are at least a dozen top-notch VR experiences now; it's all about the catalogue rather than an individual "killer-app". (Play Rez! Play Superhot! Play Thumper!)
i wonder if we will get any FFVII Remake news as for what i think we will see is a PS4 Pro price drop, i doubt it would be a big one but it would be the perfect time for it, kind of close to xmas and with their competitor putting out their new version of their system it could help shift sales being at a lower price
@get2sammyb yeah, absolutely. My frustration is with this darn aim controller. It literally is impossible to find anywhere, despite all of the reviews saying it instantly improves titles like farpoint. I really dont understand why Sony seem to be reluctant to manufacture more
@Rudy_Manchego You never know - for a spring release, Tokyo Game Show in September would be as good an opportunity as any to announce it We can but hope!
Sucker punch's project?
Please could we find out more about WiLD!
@get2sammyb can you play superhot VR with the Dualshockers or are the motion controllers mandatory?
@zimbogamer Motion controllers are required.
@stua12t
Yeah. But i prefer remake this games
Love me some Superhot.
@zimbogamer Micjel Ancel is working on that game, and he french. So I've got my fingers crossed too.
Very good news. More conference = more new announcement
Whatever the headline(s) is/are, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a Pro Slim line of dialogue slip quietly-ish through from Sony. There will obviously be one at some point, fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later. Maybe even a better designed VR headset.
@get2sammyb thanks was about to buy it. Just splurged on the headset and camera so waiting a bit before I get the motion controllers
@Enuo yeah I am hoping it ends up being a decent game. I have been I intrigued ever since the first trailer. Been over 2 years since we saw anything. My wife who doesn't really play games is even curious about it
@Tingle_The_Great
It will be great
@Tingle_The_Great fingers crossed!
@Comrade44 What do you mean?
Ooh. Expecting at least a couple of big reveals.
Suuuuuurrrely it will all be about visage, allison road, the forest, moons of madness, and streetfighter v season 3 lol.
.......... They are not going to talk about any of this are they : (
Another Siren reboot would be cool, albeit with little chance of it coming to fruition.
@stua12t Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror made buying the PSP 100% worth while on its own!
My predictions: another special edition PS4 Pro, as well as a price drop on the standard PS4 and non-SE PS4 Pro. RDR 2 release window announcement (either at Paris or PSX 2017).
On a somewhat related topic, the talk about the PS4 Pro having more enhanced capabilities with the 'Rapid Packed Math' tech has piqued my interest in the system again. It's been months since I even thought about potentially upgrading to the beefier system, since I'm quite satisfied with my standard PS4 which works perfectly. Now, kinda thinking about trading it in around Christmas.
@Rudy_Manchego I think something from FromSoftware is more likely to be shown at TGS.
I'm not sure if there will be any big announcements, I think Sucker Punches game is more likely for PSX, if at all this year. Maybe a rereveal of Dreams though.
@stua12t @stua12t syphon filter best ps1 games ever
@BarFooToo great games
