Sony earned the favor of gamers when it pulled off a classy reveal of the Playstation 4 months ago. Although the company refrained from a full showcase of the system hardware, the event's strict focus on games and its public pronouncements of support for indie developers enticed the community to optimistically look forward to an outstanding E3 showing. While Sony's performance remains to be seen, there are still a few burning questions that must be answered.
What does the system look like? How will the device be priced and when will it launch? Will the PS4 adopt the new approach to used game sales that Microsoft has announced, or will they leverage the confusion created by their rival to endear their selves to consumers. Right now, Sony has the upper hand in public relations, reinforced by clear messaging.
Some of the heavy hitters we expect to see tonight are Killzone: Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son, Capcom's Deep Down, and Bungie's first multiplatform game Destiny.
