The PlayStation Experience last year was a great event- Sony took the stage to update us on their first party projects, and how they were coming along, announced new games, and also showed us some great games from their third party partners. It was also only the first event of its kind- so it makes sense that everybody, including Sony themselves, wouldn’t bet their best cards on the event, right? Surely this year’s PSX, following up on the success of last year’s event, would be bigger and better, seeing more big name third party games and studios jumping on board?
Yeah, well… doesn’t appear that that is the case. Above you can see the list of the exhibitors that have so far been confirmed for the event. It’s nothing remarkable, and even appears to be a step down from last year’s event. The list of games confirmed, which follows below, is even worse- even a first party title like Uncharted 4 does not seem to be mentioned on here:
- Amplitude
- Assault Android Cactus
- Blind
- Chasm
- Cosmic Star Heroine
- Crypt of the NecroDancer
- Darkest Dungeon
- Death Tales
- Death’s Gambit
- Distance
- Drifter
- Drive!Drive!Drive!
- Dungeons & Dragons Sword Coast Legends
- EarthNight
- Firewatch
- FutureGrind
- GNOG
- Gunsport
- Invisible, Inc.
- Kerbal Space Program
- Killing Floor 2
- Klaus
- Life Goes On: Done to Death
- Lost Sea
- Manifold Garden
- Metrico+
- Moon Hunters
- Night in the Woods
- Nuclear Throne

- Ray’s the Dead
- Revolver360 RE:Actor
- ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS

- Soft Body
- Space Dave
- Stories: The Path of Destinies
- Strike Vector
- The King of Fighters XIV
- Thumper
- To Leave
- Tumblestone
- Videoball

Of course, this is far from it- Sony will have more games and exhibitors revealed soon, so maybe it gets better. As of right now, I am not exactly the most excited for the show, which takes place December 5-6 this year.
