Sony will be holding a press conference live more than two weeks before TGS has officially begun.

No guarantees there will be big reveals, but the stream will be here (English Ustream) at 2 AM EST / 11 PM PST / 7 AM BST.

We can reconvene here to discuss when this thing gets going.

Maybe a noteworthy thing: FF XV changed its domain name earlier today to http://www.finalfantasyxv.com from http://www.na.square-enix.com/FFXV. So, uh...set your expectations accordingly, I guess. Although some guy on NeoGAF says there won't be FFXV. Also I heard on NeoGAF that Marc McDonald of 8-4 fame has said there will be new game announcements at the conference. I started listening to their podcast fairly recently. I like it.

The Japanese Youtube stream is of a better quality (at least on my end):

Persona 5 HYPE

The Last Guardian?

I expect Persona 5, Bloodborne, and The Last Guardian.

Sadly, the chances are mighty slim.

Bloodborne ,Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV <3

Pretty sure someone at sony said no. Really hoping for some persona 5 though

@aegon: Maybe there's a new trailer that has that new domain at the end that they'll show.

I wonder if there'll be any Last Guardian info. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

How has this worked for the past games? Has it been Sony or Atlus that's done the big reveal?

Oh, I'm talking Persona of course, that's why we're all here, right?

Oh shit, I was sure that was tomorrow. Guess it makes sense I would be confused, it being in Japan. Well great!

I really, really hope Persona 5 makes an appearance, it's about time for them to fully reveal it. I'm also hopeful for some FFXV, but I don't know, Nomura seems to be working on a thousand things that just advance at a snail's pace.

anyone know if there will be a live english translation to stuff for us?

The link in the OP is to the english stream. What exactly that means I can't tell you, but I would assume there will english subs?

EDIT: Just realized the archive of last years' stream is available and it looks like that had real time translation via VO, so we can probably expect the same for this one.

Last year they had a-ma-zing (read: terrible) translators. They would translate not only the people on stage, but the trailers themselves. It was pure gold.

ooh, there might be interesting things to wake up to in the morning.

I'm not expecting anything Persona related out of this. Atlus seems to prefer to reveal stuff on their own schedule.

Since this thing is gonna start at 3:30 AM my time and I expect to get called to work at 7 I don't think I'll stay up to watch it.

What's the over/under on number of Vita games shown? Probably around 3.5? I'd expect P4G to be shown if P5 is also gonna be there.

That's cool I guess, but the only hype train I'm riding right now is called Smash Bros. and you didn't say Nintendo.

Also, they'll probably show nothing for the Vita. Which is a drag.

Per-So-Na!!!!! Per-So-Na!!!!! Per-So-Na!!!!! Per-So-Na!!!!!

Sony will announce a new version of the Vita with a third analog stick, and The Last Guardian will be exclusive to it.

2am? I don't think I'm going to make this one, guys.

Good thing I live in Korea (and therefore live in the same timezone as Tokyo).

FFXV won't be there and neither will Persona 5......but dammit, I get my hopes up every single time and I plan on doing just that tonight.

Nice! Something to watch this afternoon.

I'm hoping they announce new firmware 2.0 features such as media playback and that suspend game state thing they talked about. GET HYPE FOR FIRMWARE UPDATE!

Reach out to the truth, Sony.

I think it was something ambiguous like, "probably not" or "don't plan on it." They love to use loose language in situations like that because hard answers can be made into lies. Still, I'd be extremely surprised if they did show it.

No chance of it being streamed on GB as well for some chat goodness is there?

Wha? Alright, sure, whatever. Maybe there will be something cool annouced when I wake up.

Your thread title countdown is stressing me out.

You think something's gonna go wrong?

heh. I'm just making a joke, but I must say I'm not used to someone updating their title with countdown numbers. It's not bad; just different.

I'M FUCKING READY. LAST STOP ON THIS TRAIN.

Hope they'll announce the ability to pause your downloadson PS4. Seriously...

Man, can't wait - the show goes off just after I get home from work. Perfect timing.

I'm hoping for some good game reveals, but you never know.

Also,

The Last Guardian is gonna show up, I know it.

Sony confirmed a while ago that Last Guardian was skipping TGS. But it would be a good troll based on how things have gone so far.

Hoping to see some Lily Bergamo.

Isn't that now totally different from what they first said/showed off what it was going to be and is now some weird, much less interesting hack-and-slash thing called Let it Die?

This is that Suda51 game right? I heard the same about it.

Wait, so is this is their legit TGS conference or is this a separate thing and they are still doing another conference in 2 weeks?

kinda wondering this myself

@rongalaxy: It's only being called a Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Press Conference 2014. I can't find any reference to it being their TGS press conference. I would guess they will have one now and then a more substantial one then.

This could just be something to build up hype for TGS. I'm currently not expecting much, but eh, after Nintendo's recent big announcement about the new 3DS, just about anything could be coming.

Lily Bergamo became that multiplayer slasher themed game that Suda is doing right now.

So yeah... A cool looking teaser turned into something that looks pretty bad.

Namco's Katsuhiro Harada retweeted Famitsu's tweet about the conference. More Tekken 7 info incoming?

I think that's practically guaranteed. Though I personally don't really care about Tekken.

DOUBLE POST IT'S STARTING

lol at this music.

Dubstep is life! :D

Video James.

They already gave you Knack. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!?!?

44 games, eh?

Also,
