As long as they put the playstation logo on the thumbnail of every video. Dosn't matter. Advertising job done.

The fact that there are two different names should have tipped you off that they aren't the same.

Common sense.

Sony can call it whatever they want and people will still be disappointed. It's impossible to compete with people's imaginary expectations.

 

[El Muerto]

Call it a Showcase if you're showing something new. State of Play just makes it seem like we're seeing updates to games that were already announced and in development.

 

[Lupin25]

We know the difference because:

SoP - Either good or garbage
Showcase - All out spectacle

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

They should rename State of Play to Waste of Time.

PlayStation Showcase should be called Maybe Worth Your Time (but Probably Not).

 

[Pelta88]

Given the views generated from the stream and the trailers, I don't think this questions exists anywhere except core forums.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Indeed they have been doing an abysmal job at communicating with the fanbase. Thank fuck the quality studios are still there to keep the great games coming.

It's like they checked out when they saw the other competitors throw out the white flag.

Sure they have to be sitting on a ton of announcements but it's taking a ridiculous amount of time since they announced anything to look forward to (first party of course).

 

[Audiophile]

Should just rename most of them "The State Of Things..."

 

[ArtHands]

this year's PlayStation Showcase Is acceptable by casual fans now?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Well, originally they were different as the showcase had big announcements, but the last Playstation Showcase soiled the reputation of Showcases by being a primitive State of Play.

just look at today's which Sony actually went above & beyond what they said it'd be and people are still complaining with over 1/3rd rating it 2/5 or below
