~ State of Play | June 4, 2025 ~

OMG> they really ended this show on this. Absolute garbage.

Where is intergallactic? neil said 6 months ago that they cant wait to show more. he's waited 6 months.

Where is cory's next game? it;s been 7 years.

Where is Solas gameplay? They said they will show gameplay later this year. If not at e3 season then when?

where is horizon 3? its been 3 years since hfw came out.

i understand BP, Bend and other studios wasted 5 years on gaas trash, but what have these other studios been doing? I cant even blame Herman Bust for this. It's the fucking developers who have refused to give him anything he can put in these shows 5 years in a row now. I mean sucker punch couldnt even get a gameplay demo ready for E3. they had 5 years lmao.
 
Im not even mad, because this is what i expected. As i said before im going into state of play with 0 expectations and that is exactly what i get everytime lol

I give the show an 8/10. Could have been 9 if they showed more 1st party single player exclusives. Top 5 for me: 1. Pragmata 2. Romeo is dead 3. Silent hill F. 4. Nioh 3 5. 007. Special mention to the Marvel Sony fighting game collaboration.

They showed their best game first, which I guess is to be expected. But maaaaaannn I was hoping for Bloodborne. :(
 
was kinda lame overall.

Where is the first party stuff ?
Does Sony make games anymore? Lol
It's actually sad... Not even 1 new First Party title shown off...

PS this generation has been absolutely trash.

I expected something more considering Summer Games Fest is coming up... but nope.
It was definitely a good japanese third party showing...
You guys missed those 10 minutes or so over the PlayStation Studios-produced Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls at the end?
 
"My expectations were low, and I was still disappointed" 🤦‍♂️
Very little there for me. Even the things I thought I'd be interested in look weak.
 
Apart from the califonian talking heads, Baby-man-cringe-game, Tides of Tomorrow and soft ending it was a great SoP IMO.

I got FFT Remake, so I might be a bit biased. 😁
 
Dude, I hate to say this but if Xbox had made their games exclusive to their ecosystem…they'd be selling consoles like a mother fucker right now.

Jim Ryan really set PlayStation back 5+ years huh
 
Excellent state of play. 8.8/10 easy. The first time in a long time, I've added games from the state of play to games to monitor list. Some surprising bangers for sure.
 
Very solid show. I get the feeling we're just seeing a snippet of what Sony Japan is brewing. Its going to take a bit more time to pivot away from the cluster fuck that Hulst and Ryan set up.

At least I got Nioh 3 and will be playing og RE2 and Nemesis on PS5, (please with trophy support 🙏)

I'm not sure about that Nathan Bond/James Drake 007 game, production value is there, but something doesn't fit for some reason 😂
 
What a fuck is going on? PS4 was godlike with first party, Playstation right now is far far far behind Nintendo and Xbox. Have they completely lost their touch?
 
A 6/10 for me. Too many colorful games, not enough stuff for men that like blowing crap up. We finally get a Thief game and they change the protagonist, meaning she'll be yapping the whole dang time with hints while I'm trying to play. Either that, or my wife will be yapping about neglecting her and the kids while I play.

Glad I sold my PS5 last year
Why? There's tons of games every year and you sold it because you aren't getting a thing you specifically want? Did you do the infamous "switch to PC" lol
 
Man, Sony get an easy ride from so many people 😂

Awful show. Especially at the traditional E3 time of big shows. Not going to maintain mass market interest with dross like that. I'll play Everybody's Golf because I always do, but I think it's PC too… As was their 'big reveal' at the end.

Seems like Sony has given up making games, no?
