Hey guys, guess what.....

I know that Sony has some big games coming!

Yep. I even found the box art!

"It's super super weird"

Yep. That sounds like Sony's PR stupidity
It feels like everytime you think "hey their PR actually might have improved, they've figured it out finally" they do something really stupid and we all go back to thinking they'll never learn.

Reminds me a bit about Xbox game releases in that sense. Just when you think they've got it figured out they release the Halo Infinite demo/Redfall.

Yeah, I agree. I was almost to the point of thinking I was wrong about Jim Ryan. Should have known it was just a matter of time.

Hear me out.
How about the possibility of those games being a live service game?

the worse part is not what they didnt show is what they showed... if they did only a spiderman state of play ... but it was a "playstation showcase".. until the next showcase this is the idea of what playstation is going to be for the next months/year

Does that mean all those game studios that Sony owns are actually making games for the Playstation?

Because all these dramas from the last few days suggest that Sony has nothing but incompetent management.

Remember me saying Phil and Mike cracked open a bottle of scotch celebrating JIm taking over? When the oil runs out of a machine it can run awhile before breaking down

Yeah, I remember. At the same time, I'm sure Sony's stockholders are loving Jim Ryan and all the money he makes them. "Wins hide sins"

Tom Henderson apparently also said he saw trailers that were ready for the show, but Sony intentionally held back from the show.

It's just a weird situation to be honest. They held their big showcase, something they hadn't done for more than a year and then intentionally hold them back? Why?

Demon's Souls remake for PC? Or does Geoff hold the keys to the kingdom of Bluepoint and they announce BB remaster at his show? Nah, why am I doing this to myself? It's like being in an abusive relationship at the moment. You keep telling yourself it's gonna be better but you are quickly shut down and stomped on.

If true, its fair that Sony would hold some stuff back so it doesn't seem like they then spend the next X months talking about the same projects.

I once went on a date with a hot Slovak girl, who told me one should never fire all their guns at once.

We had a food and a few more drinks, and a gun went off later that night*.

(* - by which I mean, we had sex)
 
So is this going to be the second showcase where all the other games Tom Anderson is tweeting about on Twitter going to be shown? Lmao I’ve never seen so many meltdown or people feeling the need to cope and make excuses for Sony. They’re in a leadership position so they’re going to do stuff like this because Microsoft constantly shits the bed with self inflicted wounds. Also their other studio games are far out insomniac like obsidian and playground have proven to be the only studios that can work effectively through COVID and output games. Sony had a bad show it’s only bad because they’ve had great ones so many times in the past.

This is exactly why they didn't announce games that may not see release for 2-3 years. Gamers are weird, they praised Fallout 4 for being announced within a 6 month release window but also want each company to announce literally everything at an event regardless of its release window.

But then they'll complain when a game doesn't release in a year or two from its reveal while saying "why did they announce it so soon?".

Basically there is no good perfect way to do these events cause people will complain either way.

I wouldn’t call it super weird I would call it incredibly stupid to withhold some bangers out of your first major showcase in two years
This show was full of absurdities I cannot wrap my head around:
  1. Apparently they pulled out multiple AAA announcements.
  2. They promised details on TLOU Online but the game did not show up.
  3. Phantom Blade 0 is a console exclusive, but Sony did not mention it at all (!)
  4. Beat Saber PS VR 2 was shadow-dropped during the Showcase, and Sony made no fuss about it.
  5. Beat Saber PS VR 2 is also a free upgrade for PS VR owners, and Sony did not even mention that during the trailer.

Death Stranding 2 Will be on the SGF (Kojima BEST friend event). AAA port to PC (Ratchet?) Is logic that Sony want show It in a event more multiplataform oriented.
Factions? Is a posibilita too.

That being the case, it is surprising that Sony ruled out showing some of those games in a Showcase after 2 years of absence. The normal thing would have been to show a gameplay trailer and invite the SGF for a gameplay of several minutes.

I dont like to give these parasites attention, but on the off chance they are right, maybe they want to space out announcements through out the year. That way any remaining sop’s can each have one new first party game. Or maybe this showcase was mostly done to satiate third party contracts, and sony does not yet want to start spending money marketing on these games at least until spiderman is out?

Yeah yeah yeah

Obvs they have more stuff in the pipeline, but anything worthwhile or with decent enough footage would have been included in the one the other day.

Anything noteworthy will be a LONG way off. Ppl believe anything these days, one of the reasons everyone was so upset with Weds showcase...all these attention seeking 'leakers' getting peoples hopes up.

If it's Ghosts or Demon's Souls I'm in. Will be in shock if it's Horizon or GOW and I'm in. Actually Im pretty much in, period.*

3 is not true though.

 
We already know that. We didn't see any of the big first party studios except insomniac. Some of them have been suspiciously quiet for a long time now. What's bluepoint working on? Why do naughty dog have nothing to show 3 years after their last release?
