In our last Rumour Rundown we covered plenty of rumours about titles such as Uncharted 4, The Last Guardian and Infamous Vita. Since many people told us about other rumours and possibilities for the Playstation Experience we have a part 2 available just for you, so without further or do let’s find out which rumours will come true.
(You can have a look at part one right here!)
Playstation 4 Price Drop
The Playstation 4 has managed to maintain its $399 price point even if its competition has lowered the price substantially. The Playstation 4 has still sold more units than the Xbox One but the gap between the two systems is shrinking. While the Xbox One is closing in expect Sony to hold out for a little longer due to the releases of The Order:1886 and Bloodbourne in early 2015, with that in mind do not expect a price drop at the Playstation Experience.
Chances of happening: Unlikely
Crash Bandicoot Reboot
The fire underneath Crash Bandicoot has been lit up again after tweets from Playstation Europe possibly hinting that a Crash Reboot maybe in the works. If you did not know already the rights for Crash Bandicoot were sold to Activision in the early 2000’s, the last time Activision made a Crash game was when they rebooted the title in 2008, then immediately debooted it due to a poor reception. While the 20th anniversary of Playstation would a fitting time to show the game, it is not guaranteed Activision will allow it.
Chances of happening: 50/50
Uncharted HD Collection
The Uncharted HD Collection has been rumoured for a while now, Naughty Dog recently said that a collection was not in the works but that does not mean that another studio like Bluepoint Games or Amature studios who have handled ports in the past are not working in the collection. It is also possible that they are just simply lying to make sure the collection is a surprise. The Playstation Experience would be an excellent time for Sony to show off an Uncharted HD Collection which will complement the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in 2015.
Chances of happening: Likely
Something New For Project Morpheus
Project Morpheus will certainly be at the Playstation Experience, expect it to be playable and also mentioned during the conference. The real question is whether a new game or feature will be shown during the event. Since the release date for Project Morpheus is miles off Sony would be fine if they showed the same tech demo as they have done in the past, but there still is a chance that something new might be on display.
Chances of happening: Unlikely
Official Assassin’s Creed Victory Reveal
Earlier this week the latest Assassin’s Creed title was leaked for the public to see. Since the game was shown in real-time to members of Kotaku, many people are wondering if that same gameplay was to shown at the Playstation Experience. The annual Assassin’s Creed title is usually unveiled during the first quarter of the year so while it would not be too different for Ubisoft to unveil the game in December it would be unprecedented. The problem with this rumour is that Ubisoft just released two Assassin’s Creed titles so it could be seen as overkill to show off a third so soon.
Chances of happening: Very Unlikely
Beyond: Two Souls PS4
The trophy list for a possible PS4 version of Beyond: Two Souls was leaked earlier this year, with this in mind it is likely that a PS4 port of the polarizing title is already in development. Just like The Last Of Us, Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and GTA V expect the port to be released some time soon, with that in mind a nice and pleasant announcement that probably will not set the world on fire but will fit in nicely half way through the show would be ideal for the Playstation Experience.
Chances of happening: Likely
