Yeah I thought about it but didn't want to say it. It reeks of 'There will be a second Showcase'-hopium like we had last year lol. But bundling it with the Pro reveal could do wonders.

I've just had a few beers and it was a general response to people in the thread wondering where all the Playstation games are this year. It's an off-year and they literally told everyone this in February. That's all.

Well, they're going to have "show" the games instead of just announcing them. Because getting more Death Stranding 2 gameplay consisting of mostly walking and Wolverine gameplay (2026 for the shit is ridiculous) that's already been leaked with "real time cutscene" reveals for everything else isn't going to cut it.
Last years showcase was so shit despite the 20 month wait between it and 2021's. I would like to believe that it'll be worth it, but I can't say with 100% confidence that all of these games are going to actually look next gen in game systems to justify the waiting.

Sony isn’t revealing games more than like 1-2 years out, tops

As a man with a giant-ass backlog (Rise of Ronin, Helldivers 2 recent battle passes, Infinite Wealth and FF7RR alone will send me back 300+ hours) I always come here to read the rage about NO GAMES.
Personally, I have ample problem with time, not output.

Watch it be a State of Play specifically for The Final Shape. Most people here will groan and I’ll be stoked.

This is why I don't understand why people are so impatient when it comes to game announcements. People want them to announce them so early, than complain when the games take too long. It's just ironic.
Anyway, the SoP is a little bit of a bummer was hoping for a showcase but it's whatever. If they have something cooking up closer to when the pro is gonna get announced /released not that much of a big deal to me. We already know the next 10 months or so is gonna be quiet for Sony 1st party games. Astro bot is dope though. Will be day 1 for that. And who knows, the last state of play was actually pretty damn good, maybe this follows up to that

Well, a few things to take away here. I'm honestly not surprised if it turns out to be a State of Play.
There's still 2 or 3 games that may make it out this year, but most of the heavy hitters are going to be in 2025-2026 and it's a safe bet they'll hold several of them to entice folks when they show the PS5 Pro and what it can do.
Sony has already had some very successful releases this year, as they literally had a strong, exclusive title every month up til May, if I recall correctly.
Anyway, last SoP was pretty decent. Maybe we'll see RE9, Silent Hill 2, and maybe Astro and Concord. That's fairly solid with just those games.
Doom being on PS5 doesn't surprise me at all given all the bonkers stuff going on at Xbox, who are clearly struggling to figure out how to make 70+ billion dollars turn some kind of profit.
Multi-platform is your only real bet when you're being outsold badly in the US, but especially in UK and JP markets. Sorry, Phil. Can't simply buy your way to success.
I would wager this lends the rumors of Starfield coming a lot more credence. I also think the rumored Fallout remasters will be coming over also.
I'm still very interested if, they do indeed plan to being something like Halo or Gears(even if it's MCC or Gears Remasters) over, how they'll put a spin on convincing people to consider their system for a purchase.

Yeah, right. Lol
Wolverine alone flies in the face of this. By the time it comes out, it'll be most of 5 years. They were going to show off Factions last year before it got shitcanned. Then there's Physint.
It's just not practical or smart to wait a Max of 2 years out to announce these games. As has been the case for a lot of this gen, there will just be nothing to announce for long stretches of time.
I think this gen is a transition we'll just have to go through. Sony decided to throw multiple wrenches into their pipelines. Live services at studios that don't have the capability of doing them, PC ports and VR nonsense, so they've wasted a bunch of time and resources. They're not holding back out of restraint. When you've got a bunch of heat, it's a good idea for the stock price and for hype to let people know.
It was always going to happen, may as well happen in this gen I guess.

Yeah. The way they're doing things now is pretty predictable.
Next years focus will be
Fairgame
Marathon
Venom
Death Stranding 2
Ghost 2
Whatever partner games they have
And then two games further out (2026) which will be Wolverine. Possibly SSM, ND, or maybe Bend, but no way in hell we're seeing something from more than one. Wouldn't be suprised if we get none of them.

Marvel stuff is different, they have to announce it early just like they do the movies
ProtoByte
Weeb Underling
No they don't. What? Marvel Studios has nothing to do with it. There's an argument that they announced it to prevent leaks (lol), but how doesn't that apply to everything else.
Again, Physint, anyone?
James Sawyer Ford
Gold Member
Yes they do. It’s far more likely to get leaked
Physint isn’t Sony owned, Kojima probably dictates that decision to announce

No that's PC. Where you can play PC, Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo exclusives at their best performance and fidelity.

Look, if you genuinely believe that Sony is "holding back", I don't know what to tell you. You know I'm a PS fan through and through, so this isn't fanboy shit. This is just the most realistic read of the situation.
Also, are we sure Sony doesn't own Physint? They own Death Stranding, and it'll be 2.5-3 years since announcement by the time that comes out.

I'll stick to the best place to play, which is on PS.

Yes they are, but I think it’s more of a studio call these days
ND has explicitly said they aren’t revealing anything early in order to improve work life balance since preparing demo materials is not an efficient use of studio resources

MS needs to tell Jez to drop some BS about the next Xbox to distract from this
Bend - tons of problems/drama
Naughty Dog - wasted tons of money and time on Factions 2.
Sucker Punch - GOT 2 probably will be revealed soon.
Naughty Dog, we might not see anything from them this gen. It's like Retro who went from DKCTF to.... It's a mystery... to MP4.
Bend, who knows.
I talked about this in another thread. All their major studios have released something recently-ish except for Bend, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch.
Bend - tons of problems/drama
Naughty Dog - wasted tons of money and time on Factions 2.
Sucker Punch - GOT 2 probably will be revealed soon.

I was actually thinking yesterday "eternal released 4 years ago, and man it's gonna be a long time before we see a sequel". Looks like the dark gods were listening

It shouldn't be. You need to keep reasonable pressure on studios. Otherwise, you wind up like Ninja Theory.
Going from releasing U4, demoing Lost Legacy and making a TLOU2 trailer in the same year, failing to make a demo and making another trailer that same year, and then making a gameplay demo the year after that to radio silence for 4 years after TLOU2, save for fucking remasters doesn't sound like work-life "balance".
The Doom guy is a bad ass character and don't need machine learning approval to learn how to talk.

Will be playing on my PC…so great for the rest I guess. Enjoy playing with a controller
Honestly, tempted to do the same. I enjoy controller, even on PC - so that isn't an issue. But games like DOOM I just heavily associate with PC and prefer playing on it.
