E3 is just a month away and while its normal to start seeing a few rumours flying about here and there, what we have here is nothing short of a deluge.
Dualshockers has received the following insider information about what Sony will showcase at its E3 press conference. While the website has corroborated some of the following details with a second source, to avoid disappointment, please consider everything you’re about to read as a rumour only.
Uncharted PS4
The game will debut via a three-minute trailer with “In-engine” footage and gameplay. The demo will feature a tropical setting and differing time periods. The game will release in summer 2015.
Media Molecule’s Project Morpheus virtual reality game
The 3D world building game with quirky visuals will be a landmark title for Morpheus. Late 2015 release.
Gran Turismo 6 for PS4

Guerrilla Games RPG

Infamous: Second Son
Second Son DLC in the works. New powers and possibly a new setting.
Three Japan Studio games
The first is Project Beast, spiritual successor to Demons Souls. The second is The Last Guardian for PS4 with a possible 2014 release. Third title is unknown.
Driveclub
On-stage demo
Third party publishers at Sony press conference
Ubisoft, EA, Konami, Capcom, Warner Bros, Activision, Square Enix, Take Two will be on stage.
Grand Theft Auto for next-gen
Rockstar could take the stage, or Sony will talk about a next-gen GTA.
Price drops
Price drops will be announced for PS3 and PS Vita.
The Last of Us sequel
To close the show on a high.
Our take:
This reads more like a wish list than an actual E3 press conference line-up. While all of these games may well be in the pipeline, expecting so many high-profile games to be showcased at one press conference seems a little too far fetched.
If past press conferences are any indication, Sony will only pepper its showing with two or three really big game reveals, with a large chunk dedicated to Project Morpheus, PlayStation Network services, PlayStation Now, stage demos for games that are already announced, and not to mention a segment dedicated to indie games.
