For what they said at the beginning, it looked like just a game play reveal. Now it's looking more like an E3 Conference.

Topics I think they will address:

- Politics
- Hardware Reveal
- BC Compatibility
- New Controller
- Online Services
- Multimedia capabilities
- Games : Indie, 3rd party and 1st party.
 
Where is the information about this hw stuff coming from? Official playstation blog afaik. still only talks about 1h long prerecorded show of games.

https://blog.playstation.com/2020/06/08/updated-time-this-thursday-see-the-future-of-gaming-on-ps5/

There is a twitch streamer saying that she will be on the show, and she later said something like "I had a lot of consoles, I know how to turn one on".

In relation to the duration they did say it was about an hour, maybe something like 1:15 or something like that. But it is true that I believe the event on Twitch is scheduled for 2 hours. I expect a post-show.
 
Could also be just FUD so folks can be disappointed and bash sony if hw is not shown today. Don't get yours hopes up beyond what is officially communicated. Digital silly season anti marketing can be as strong as the bad yields and overheating problems.

I think the time is right. There is really no reason to delay this one further if they are revealing the games today, pre-orders for the console should start soon as well.

If sony splits games and hw to 2 different days they can run with 2 different media cycles. Everyone and their mother will report sony games today/tomorrow, even the mainstream media. If HW comes out another day then sony can reap another such free marketing cycle on mainstream media. There is all the marketing $$$ and visibility reasons to milk the launch in as many separate events as possible.
 
I think they may show the shape of it, as others said they should be entering mass production for the Holiday 2020 release. But I think they will have a more in depth event for the teardown.
 
But that doesn't include any of the pre-show show that some places are having or the post-show show that more places are having.
I've no idea when the pre-show starts tho.

the official livestream according to the PS4 Events tab states the stream will be two hours long.

And a new next gen Horror from Bloober Team "Observer: System Redux" for both PS5 and Xbox Series X
Looks damn good. Confirmed to be 4k/60 HDR Raytracing for next gen.

One reason to hold off is to separate hardware event from a software one. A reveal of games doesn't need the hardware to be shown, and that'll leave room for something else highly anticipated. They could then do a separate hardware reveal with a Cerny tech discussion on cooling and other features. That'd drag out the marketing of social presence that bit longer.

So don't be surprised if the console doesn't make an appearance. Maybe in a silhouette to tease. :devilish:
 
What sort of politics? Can't imagine any political talk of any sort in an ideals-agnostic sales pitch.

True, not politics but maybe a statement about current events. Especially because they had to delay the presentation.

I think they will show it either today or very soon because of the risk the console design being leaked.
 
Where's this two hours coming from? Are people confusing the SGF pre-show which runs immediately ahead of the Sony presentation? UK Times:

20.00 PS5: Future of Gaming Preshow - Geoff Keighley and YouTube's top creators countdown to the PS5 showcase.
21.00 PS5: The Future of Gaming - PlayStation 5: The Future of Gaming livestream​

Sony say "This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour".

Very much doubt it. Best not to say anything, other they risk their message being lost in political chatter. It's just a show about gaming, for fun.

Possibly. Today isn't the only day it can be shown though.
 
Maybe sony recorded in 60fps and the playback is half speed @30fps. Expect very special audio from very special people that did the video editing. Somewhat over 2 hours indeed!
