It's not summer.Ugh I really hope this isn't their big Summer showcase SoP. That would be so lame.. Dead E3 gets worse every year.
…Neither is all of May or the first 2/3 of June.It's not summer.
So this wouldn't be a summer showcase. Nor is it even a showcase if it's for this one tired franchise.…Neither is all of May or the first 2/3 of June.
Going by your definition none of the summer showcase shows are ever in summer. Is my point, which I'm sure you understand. It's that time of year, plain and simple. What's the difference between 4/30 or 5/30? Neither are in summer. Sony doesn't even usually label their "summer" stuff as anything other than just a SoP with a date. What are we arguing about?So this wouldn't be a summer showcase. Nor is it even a showcase if it's for this one tired franchise.
You're having the time of your life, aren't you ?
Huh? It's for Switch 2, PC, Xbox and PS. This has been known for months. Except for maybe the Switch 2 version. That's been known since the Switch 2 Direct nearly a month ago.console exclusive?

Ah… I see. The moving of the goal post from your original argument. You said "it's not summer", I pointed out it doesn't matter and has never mattered, ever. Now we have whatever this is.Let's deduce this with logic and reason.
They have a bunch of games coming this year that already have release dates. There will be other partnered games as well, I am sure. Thus, their marketing will put together a showcase with all of that.
This is just silly and unrealistic to even entertain Borderlands 4 is their only "summer showcase."
I know we are jaded bunch, but this licking of walls levels.
Think they will announce Bloodborne for PS5/PC??
Your original concern was that this was the "Summer Showcase."Ah… I see. The moving of the goal post from your original argument. You said "it's not summer", I pointed out it doesn't matter and has never mattered, ever. Now we have whatever this is.
No it's exclusive for Xbox Series S. My uncle at from told me that.Think they will announce Bloodborne for PS5/PC??
A SoP for this?

then..its pretty dumb to have a whole state of play for 1 gameHuh? It's for Switch 2, PC, Xbox and PS. This has been known for months. Except for maybe the Switch 2 version. That's been known since the Switch 2 Direct nearly a month ago.
They've done title-focused SoPs before for major third-party games. They did one for Hogwarts Legacy in April 2022, before the big delay to 2023.
I would love to know how this happened. Hollywood is so desperate to not let me talent come in they're literally wheeling in geriatric terminators and action stars lolHope the old people from the movie are in this one.

We go through this every year.Ugh I really hope this isn't their big Summer showcase SoP. That would be so lame.. Dead E3 gets worse every year.
What does Marathon have to do with it? They're completely different games. Also it was just announced it's being pushed up two weeks. It's not 9/12, not 9/25. It's a chess move to get out of the way of GTA, surely, not Marathon, if anything.A dedicated 20 minute State of Play for Borderlands 4, a game that comes out on the same day as Marathon.
Well with the anemic lineup this year it's hard to say. PS hasn't had a decent "summer showcase" in a while. Last year was pretty thin, too.We go through this every year.
No this isn't the summer showcase. It's not even May yet. There's probably at least 1 more State of Play before then.
That's fair. I don't think this year is going to be it unless they decide to start showing things farther than a year out.Well with the anemic lineup this year it's hard to say. PS hasn't had a decent "summer showcase" in a while. Last year was pretty thin, too.
Hogwarts Legacy begs to differ. More to the point, it's always down to the quality of the game itself, not the marketing format for a single presentation.last time sony did this for a third party game was sucuide squad rest is history .
a whole 20 minutes state of play.....just for a stagnant IP?
They've literally done ones before, this is hardly the first time. Just off the top of my head, they did a big one for Hogwarts Legacy in April 2022. It was actually pretty cool, seeing a deep dive into the game. I'm not really seeing the problem. There'll certainly be another SoP closer to the "summer" dead e3 window with the usual variety.
