State of Play returns 9/24

After sleeping off the initial hype I can look at the show abit more rationally

This will probably be the greatest gaming show ever.

Don't @me, because i'll be

I probably will not even watch. It depends on what im doing at the time it streams. If im playing something like Street Fighter 6 with the new update, I may not even bother pausing that to watch this. Shits a NFZ.

Why have we got to the point of not expecting anything? Is there a stronger show 100% nailed on for later in the year? I thought September was the rumour for a big showcase?
 
I'm not the target demographic, but the only way I could leave the video excited is if:
They show me ambition.
Show me a game in an entirely new genre (or a fusion of genres) with high production standards that makes me want to immediately do research on how they even came up with their ideas.

Said game should also be releasing on as many platforms as the game is capable of running on as possible (PC at minimum as that's where I play most of the time).

It should also be priced reasonably for the market and its offerings, and should have minimal interrupting features like sign-in requirements that offer me no value, or regional restrictions.

That obviously won't happen (I can't say I expect any gaming show from any company around to deliver that either), so I will set my expectations for slightly-too-long trailers of really good-looking games I have essentially played before

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Herman: Concord will be free to play on PS5 AND xbox.
Everyone can play!

25 minutes of Concord Revival + 5 minutes of the remaining 19 titles.

I'd be happy with a few seconds of FF9 remake. I'm not expecting anything else.

Lego Horizon Release Date in December
Horizon 1 Remake or Remaster
Death Stranding 2 Gameplay
Ghost Of Tsushima 2 Reveal
Wolverine Trailer with Gameplay
Uncharted 5 Teaser

this is what im hoping and know im gonna be disappointed
 
Sony is so out of touch with reality if they really think people want a Horizon or Days Gone remaster for their newest 900€ Pro console.
People will be really disappointed even if the bar is already so low with them.

So just because it's not available anymore it somehow doesn't make it news anymore?

Chicago Bulls What GIF by NBA


It's still the greatest bomb of the generation and it will be remembered as such regardless how much some of you want to sweep it under the rug as "no big deal"
Concord is not the biggest bomb of the generation, but of all time.

? I don't think anyone expects these Remasters to be the face of the PS5 Pro. Next year there are heavy hitters like Death Stranding 2 and GTA6 that will surely take advantage of the new Hardware. (And more will be announced.)

About setting the bar... The two games with the highest chances of winning the Goty this year, Rebirth and Astrobot, are PS5 exclusives (for now). And even though Concord was a failure, Sony has also released one of the best selling GaaS games of the year Helldivers 2.

It doesn't need to have anything to do with the Pro - a HZD remaster and a Days Gone remaster is so incredibly tone deaf, unnecessary and plain stupid only the most utterly delusional corporate suit could greenlight them thinking they are going to please their now 2nd class consumers.
 
Prepare to be underwhelmed

I don't expect much from a SoP, but when you have a system coming out that is $700 in this economy, you'd think you'd want to give people a reason to spend.

Arrogant Sony is the worst. I guess they figure it'll somehow be an automatic success because they're PlayStation.

PSVR2 flopped due to lack of support or appeal and it costing as much as the system itself.

Here you've got to show *why* people should consider $700 over a base system you can get for $200-$300 less. They dont seem to care to do that.

They know that, they simply don't have nothing to show. The GAAS strategy probably affected every studio from Sony

Absolutely Cozy
yeah, it was so much fun
It's rainy days for us during that time.
Watching E3 on chilly rainy day with breakfast was a blast

I loved watching the big three conferences and immediately afterward jump to my favourite Swedish gamesite to listen in on the live podcast and comment and make jokes. Great times! One of the highlights of summers.

I have zero interest for anything they make apart from GT7 in VR, so if there's nothing on that it's of zero value to me.
