There bette rnot be a single new GAAS TRASH announcement from this company

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

... another state of shit or underpromising and overdelivering?

 

[M1987]

Ready to be disappointed again

 

[That Damn Kid]

 

[CJ_75]

More like, State of Nothing to Play

 

[Oberstein]

One day before the Switch 2 drops.

That's a gangsta move.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Meh.... The excitement for this is so low that I'll rather read about here the next day.

It will be a GAAS/DEI shitshow as usual.

 

[saintjules]

I think the announcement will post at 9am eastern like most of the previous ones for a Thursday showcase. They will probably want to show what they have before the Xbox showcase and (maybe) take some Thunder away from the Nintendo Switch 2 launch (not much but something).

Some of the predictions on here I saw felt more like 'showcase' material which is probably done with, but I think this time around maybe Playstation wants to show some things now in order for people to get more excited about. Either this or it's to get ahead and announce games, specifically 3rd party titles coming to the platform before Xbox says it in their Showcase on Sunday. Xbox always has to make the 'oh we're getting it too on our platform' posts after Playstation announces them.

I can't imagine another lackluster SoP at this point right now, but let's see.

9am announcement like I thought. And a day before Switch 2, which is the good call.

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope they show off something interesting.

 

[Lunarorbit]

20 minutes dedicated to FairGame$ and Marathon

You know it. At least 3 minutes of marathon garbage.

 

[boomcrab]

These shows are usually solid but GAF sets their expectations way too high and will complain how it's the worst State of Play they ever had. Watch lol it happens literally every single time and they never adapt

It's E3 season. It isn't asking too much to put together a good show. Hopefully they do.

 

[Sooner]

Is it too much to ask for a Clair Obscur sequel and for it to be out this year?

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[Chuck Berry]

 

[Fake]

40 minutes of GaaS LETS FUCKING GO!!!

 

[tTHANOSs]

I gotta imagine after this we will get an announcement for DS2 state of play.

 

[MrJangles]

One day before the Switch 2 drops.

That's a gangsta move.

A good time to bury bad news.

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

Just thought Sony will pick up some games to steal SGF show. Please be good.

 

[blastprocessor]

Give me some first party goodness please. pretty pleeeeeeeeeeease.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Can't wait for the inevitable "rank the SoP" thread where everyone overreacts.

 

[Gambit2483]

Sony trying to pour some water on Switch 2's fire?

Surely this HAS to be good...

 

[Cakeboxer]

I hope we get a video of Jordan A. Mun shaving her armpits.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

15 minutes of Marathon I bet.

 

[hemo memo]

LETS GOOOOO!!!!

Its about time. Justify my pro purchase!

The DenchDeckard Guide to Disappointment.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

Not expecting much personally. But here's my wishlist anyway

1. Gameplay walkthrough of any of the announced game, like GoY, intergalactic, wolverine or saros.

2. The rumoured smaller god of war game for later this year.

3. New announcements from Sony like gt8.

4. Good third party announcements

Will be over the moon over any of the top 3, but don't know if they are planning to save them for the rumoured showcase later this year.

As for the 4, it depends on the game and whether they are my taste or not.

 

[RoboFu]

Bloodborne remaster
Resistance trilogy remaster

if those two are announced I will go buy a ps5 pro tomorrow.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Makes sense to get it out before Switch 2 launch.

Looking forward to it, but keeping my expectations low. Crazy week though with SoP, SW2, SGF, and Xbox.

 

[nowhat]

Aren't these usually ass?

Usually, but sometimes they are tits.

 

[Hyet]

I want:

• Next Tales Of Series anniversay remaster (Tales of Destiny DC or Rebirth)
• New Tales Of game
• Pragmata

I'll get:

• Next Tales Of Series anniversay remaster (Xillia 1, Xillia 2 at a later date sold separately both 50 bucks)

 

[Elios83]

I almost want to see 20 minutes of Marathon and 20 minutes of Fairgames to see the rage about Sony not giving a fuck to try to please GAF

But imo there will be the usual good mix of titles from different publishers, something first party, but no 10 AAA single player games announced all at once.

 

[ArtHands]

20 minutes dedicated to FairGame$ and Marathon

and also 10 mins of PSVR2 games please

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I expect nothing so therefore I cannot be let down.

I expect the same and still get let down.

EVERY.

FUCKING.

TIME.

 

[AutomaticPrince]

This has to be where Little Devil Inside gets a release date right?

Also please don't be 20 minutes of Death Stranding 2. Not knocking it, looking forward to the game but I'm not a fan of the deep dives right before a game launches when we've seen a bunch of it already.

 

[Gaelyon]

They'll announce Astrobot Kart World, of course.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This has to be where Little Devil Inside gets a release date right?

Yeah they'll give a release date for that and The Last Night back to back

 

[Caio]

Resident Evil 9 baby

This.

 

[Luipadre]

No hype for state of plays anymore from me. I'll watch but...yeah

 

[Metnut]

RE9
Ghost
GAAS slop
FF7 part 3 teaser
New GoW
Astrobot DLC

 

[Topher]

What I want to see:

ND's other project besides Intergalactic
Corey Barlog's new game
Next mainline Horizon game

What I'm expecting:

None of that

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

What I want to see:

ND's other project besides Intergalacticc
Corey Barlog's new game

What I'm expecting:

None of that

Why do you want to see stuff not coming in your lifetime?

 

[AmuroChan]

Sounds like mostly 3rd party stuff so keep your expectations in check.

 

[diffusionx]

I don't know if I have ever watched a SoP that I came away excited from. Sony isn't good at this.

 

[Poppinfresh]

The only thing I really expect is the Persona 4 Remake. Given the leaks from the VAs, it seems like that would be something they would announce.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

RDR2 patch with switch 2 version shadow dropping at launch in a few days.

 

[Topher]

Why do you want to see stuff not coming in your lifetime?

When I die I'm going to come back as a ghost and teabag you when you are sleeping.

 

[blacktout]

So is leapfrogging the Switch 2 launch, Summer Games Fest, and the Xbox presentation to go first a confident power move or a tacit admission that they expect this show to be forgotten in a week? Only the motivated reasoning of fanboys can reveal the truth.

 

[Pedro Motta]

It's time for Cory Barlog's game.

 

[BennyBlanco]

4chins so take it with a mountain of salt but it sounds about right IMO

 

[Fbh]

The only thing I'm somewhat looking forward to is hopefully the gameplay reveal for Saros.

Aside from that I expect:
-Some Yotei trailer
-A bunch of chinese souls likes and anime waifu gacha games
-Even more Borderlands 4
-A few uninteresting looking indies

So is leapfrogging the Switch 2 launch, Summer Games Fest, and the Xbox presentation to go a first a confident power move or a tacit admission that they expect this show to be forgotten in a week? Only the motivated reasoning of fanboys can reveal the truth.

My guess would be they know they have nothing too relevant, so going first will at least give them a few days of the conversation focusing on whatever they showed instead of getting lost in between the other shows and announcements.
