just a state of play? man i cant stand these fucking smaller shows.30 minutes is fuck all! meanwhile microsoft will have a 90 minute show on june 12th. sonys way of communicating is ass compared to how it was last gen.
 
Those TLOUS2 gifs are the most cringe around gaming community. Jesus Chirst...
They dont fit the theme of the game. I think gifs starring the Uncharted cast would be more appropriate. It's why we dont see Schindler's List memes.
 
Doubt we see GOWR game play, but I expect a date provided with a promise to show more at a dedicated SOP

PSVR2 games, sure, bring some of that on!
I'm hoping for some FF16 goodness, but that may come separately in Square's own show.
Everything else is gravy.
 
SOP is mostly about third-party partners. May get one or two sneak peaks for first party. Mentioning it here before the certain people start complaining soon after the show 😂 Excited nevertheless.

My bets:
  • Avatar gameplay (🔥)
  • FFVII Remake Part 2 announcement
  • Street Fighter 6 (console exclusive?)
  • Final Fantasy XVI
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 (less likely)
  • Stray
  • Tchia
  • PS VR 2 games (third-party)
  • PS VR 2 version of at least one big third-party game.
Those are happening. Curious to see if what I heard about FFXVI is true.

Don't expect more than a teaser for FFVIIIR2
 
PS VR2 surprises me. State of Play is usually a quieter, regular stream, whereas special announcements usually happen in a Future of PlayStation or PlayStation Showcase event.

Technically, we have seen PSVR2 in the form of that Horizon game, so I guess the dam was already cracked for that to flow (and this will probably be mostly Third Party with maybe a Horizon gameplay session, probably not whatever AAA launch blockbuster Sony might have lined up for PSVR2.) Still, I would have expected a dedicated PSVR2 SoP for a full 30 minutes if this was the ramp-up moment for starting visibility and pre-orders for that product.

Just another Indie/VR Showcase. Where are the big games?
I'm hoping this ISN'T the only showcase they have in store for us... I mean, there HAS to be another, right? We don't know what's happening in the 2nd 1/2 of the year.

If they do, oh geez I'm hoping they do have one, it might be after Xbox. Maybe late June or even early July.
 
Can't possibly be worse than the last absolute state of play.

I hope they do a large scale event in the fall or something.

Nope, it's the only one you're going to get, ever again.
 
30 mins? This isn't their "big" event right?

Maybe getting things out of the way before the big one?

Now waiting on Nintendo...
