Support NeoGAF

[FeralEcho]

Bring it on, sony:

Ahh the good old days when events were exciting and actually delivered. I miss those days of GAF.

 

[Sintoid]

We already know there will be nothing and we will be anyway let down

 

[Ar¢tos]

Bring it on, sony:

Now they only do "dead father/father figure/daughter/wife/husband/gf/bf/dog/cat/canary/pet rock, etc" grief/revenge Simulators.

So sad.

 

[Esppiral]

40 minutes of remasters no first party games and paid exclusives I can't wait.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

A friend of a friend who works for IOI is hyping up the SoP, so I'm kinda expecting the 007 reveal trailer to drop in today's show.

What's IOI's reputation for game reveals?

Can we expect gameplay? Something in engine? Or just some CGI garbage?

Don't forget the rumors about that deathloop gaas project they were cooking.

 

[TheMule1983]

They haven't had a good show since the PS4 days. Not expecting anything here.

 

[DavidGzz]

Thread reminds me I should take a can of compressed air to the pro in case we get some demos.

 

[Sintoid]

Shawne Benson (Head of Third Party Relationship) retweeted State of Play

Expect a lot of third party and nothing more

 

[Badlucktroll]

i hope sony debuts the rumored ps3 emulator. they are literally sitting on a goldmine with stuff like mgs4, folklore, 3d dot game heroes, ect

 

[Shockwave_Fox]

No expectations for this, last one was boring so wont be staying up for this one.

 

[AlphaDump]

fingers crossed. I'm happy as long there is evidence of a sharp pivot away from the live service plan.

I wanna see:
- Updates on previously announced games, Wolverine especially.
- Convince me Ghost of Yotei is worth is better than GoT
- Please show more Phantom Zero
- Whatever Bend has been working on
- Whatever Blue Point has been working on
- Honestly would like to see some gameplay of Intergalactic...still on the fence with this.
- Reveal Naughty Dog's 2nd project
- Limit the VR stuff.
- Limit the indie stuff. SGF will inundate us with that.
- Limit the remaster stuff. Unless its something actually old school.
- Have a host who has some character. It goes a long way.

I 100% agree about Ghost of Yotei. After Assassin's Creed Shadows and playing GoT the fatigue has really set in.

I at least have Phantom Zero..

 

[Gripsx]

I have zero expectations really.

 

[Hashassin]

Why do you people keep falling for this? Was "iiiiit's ridge racer!" not enough?

Do you need more season pass with that spaghetti code aaa cake remaster deluxe ultra? Ah here's one that tickles your fancy!

Raytracing.

 

[Hudo]

If they don't show off Final Fantasy Tactics remaster/remake here, I hope Schreier can forever fuck off. If they do show off Final Fantasy Tactics remaster/remake here, then this might be the first PlayStation Direct that's actually not worthless.

 

[Jakk]

I can't remember when was the last time I really enjoyed a PS show... probably the two showcases in 2020.

 

[Markio128]

All doom and gloom aside, I'm quite looking forward to it and my expectations are in check. Some of the best games released have come from the most unexpected sources, so there could be one or two potential gems shown.

 

[kruis]

A Sony State of Play and I can't be bothered about it. I feel absolutely nothing. Fucking company.

Exactly

 

[Kupfer]

There was a time I stayed up to watch the State of Play, but those days are long gone.
There's nothing Sony could offer me right now that would convince me to give up two hours of sleep for their content. This company has really messed things up over the past five years.

 

[Scrawnton]

GoY is gonna have to be a big jump in gameplay features, exploration, etc for me to be excited by it. I just hope it isn't the same thing in a different setting and different story.

Do what Forbidden West didn't, it's okay to take a little inspiration from BotW.

It's the communication in general. I remember the times where I would get up early in the morning before work to watch the E³ press conferences.

It's been years since I've watched any of the new shows.

Yep, once E3 ended we got fucked, all this direct/state of shit are bad, Nintendo ones are the worst with that moronic narration all over the video, Summer Fest and TGA are just a product advertisement with some game here and there, the age of hype announcements has ended with E3.

 

[CityHunter1981]

I expect a really bad show and just some marketing obligations.

The show is here in Japan 6 am on the day the Switch 2 launches. You don't do that if you have some great announcements, because you want to give these announcements time to breath.

If you have a really bad show instead and want people to stop talking about how bad it was, that is the ideal time for it.

 

[MakeMudosGreatAgain]

The amount of times I've had to search 'PT in UK time'...

 

[HRK69]

I'm here for the drama babyyy

 

[Shubh_C63]

How big of a drama and analysis would ensue if they didn't even mention Marathon at all.

 

[hemo memo]

12 AM? For fuck sake Sony.

OR It is counter-programing for Switch 2s launch and it is an absolute banger.

I hope it is a banger. I am getting Switch 2 regardless but I'd love to have things to look forward to on PS5 as well.

Unless they show an EXTREMELY limited trailer update, they aren't going to show it at all. They can't strip the stolen art assets out that fast and also cut a trailer.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Poor Jade didn't even get to show us the masterpiece fairgame$

 

[Karim]

I'm ready to be disappointed.

It's the Sony Remaster System, what do you expect.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'm down for a gravity rush 1+2 remaster. Never did finish those games.

Wish the show was during daycare and not after I pick up my kid . . .

Everyone is remastering. Hypocrites literally creamed themselves last month.

 

[elbourreau]

Jayde Raymond is putting a team together and Sony is funding it.

It will be called "SafeSpace studio" and will work on AAAA title Gaas extraction multi competitive inclusive shooter.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

People would also love it if MS would remaster/remake more of their classic games. It's best when publishers can do both and farm out the work when they can. This Gears Reloaded will probably blow up and it's just going multiplat and doing the bare minimum from Gears Ultimate. That's why it's a free update for digital owners.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Today's the day ladies and gents. Today's the day for disappoint !!

37 minutes of

With 3 minutes of

 

[yurinka]

My bet:

• Death Stranding 2
• Stellar Blade PC port
• TLOU1+2 bundle
• Destiny 2 Edge of fate
• Lost Soul Aside
• Ghost of Yotei
• Marathon
• Convallaria
• Saros
• God of War small spinoff
• 3rd party stuff

4chins so take it with a mountain of salt but it sounds about right IMO

It's just a random guess from a random internet user, most -if not all- of it will be wrong

It's time for Cory Barlog's game.

I think they'll wait to show it because they'll want to give the devs more dev time without pressure, and to show the small spinoff before it.

So is leapfrogging the Switch 2 launch, Summer Games Fest, and the Xbox presentation to go first a confident power move or a tacit admission that they expect this show to be forgotten in a week? Only the motivated reasoning of fanboys can reveal the truth.

Sony is so successful that they don't give a fuck about Switch 2, Summer Doritos Fest or anything related to Xbox. They'll simply do their late May/early June event highlighting mostly stuff coming the next year or so because it's something they do every year.

Makes the Gravity Rush rumors seem plausible, they haven't remastered that one in a while.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably my favorite Sony series, so I'd be very happy to see it available outside of PS hardware. They really don't need to do anything but port it and keep it 60 fps.

 

[AGRacing]

Wake me up if they announce a Wipeout sequel.

 

[CobraAB]

40 minutes of remasters no first party games and paid exclusives I can't wait.

This State of Play is obviously not for you.

 

[Idleyes]

If they do announce a Gravity Rush game (don't care if it's the first or a second entry) for PC they win me.

 

[Bernardougf]

The SOP will probably be shit as always but...

I think Marathon will skip this one ... and the internet is going to implode

I mean, if you read my full post, it's a joke about how fanboys spin mundane scheduling details to match their priors. So thanks for proving my point, I guess.

Anyway, I think the real reason why Sony picked this date in particular for their June show is because they have marketing deals in place that give them first rights to reveal one or more titles that we're going to hear more about at SGF or one of the other presentations this week (probably Resident Evil and/or Final Fantasy Tactics). That actually bodes well for at least one big reveal today.

I remember gamers complaining about E3 but for the life of me I can't remember why, because it sucks so bad now.

Turning on the YouTube or whatever for 3 days of nonstop conferences and game announcements was comfy as fuck and now it's just totally soulless and horrible.
