Check out the latest batch of previews, it's pretty much a linear story based platformer with combat interludes.

eg:

‘South Of Midnight’ Xbox Preview: Swamp Trauma, Sibling Drama

I got to play Xbox's upcoming South of Midnight early, and for the most part, it's looking incredibly solid.

No....I haven't dived into the previews yet, but I've already seen enough to know that SoM has platforming.......but that doesn't mean it is necessarily a platformer, first and foremost, like you are suggesting. Plenty of games have platforming but they are not described as such.

 

[bitbydeath]

What characters are you focusing on? How many characters in the main cast? Who are they?

Too many to list on here but check the link below for 40 of the mains.

God of War Characters

[Hemingwayoffbase]

Indiana Jones release date

Wolverine full trailer

 

[cormack12]

God of War 3 Greek saga releasing August is my bet

 

[DeVeAn]

I get why there are so many remasters now. All the teams were making GAAS games. Days Gone remaster incoming.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Koei Tecmo has a new AAA studio filled with people from Team Ninja. Playstation developer Xdev, which has previously worked on Nioh and Rise of the Ronin, seem to be hinting their involvement with a game at tmmrws SOP. This would make the most sense, imo

Probably not gonna happen, but if they announce it with a March release? That's gonna be a lot of emotional damage for some people.

Semantics aside, it's pretty much the farthest thing from Forspoken, at least.

Yea, forspoken is a AAA big game. SoM is temu kena with sbi sauce.

 

[Idleyes]

You heard it here. PlayStation fans are responsible for Xbox dying because PlayStation fans were doing what Xbox fans were doing. Damn them! How could they?!

Alan Wake had platforming with its Eurojank hoppity hops.

LOL, you sold... you know you cant put together a decent cast in the greek saga.

That's just reality.

If consultancy or comments made by them is your barometer, you're probably not gonna like Forpsoken either

 

[Alebrije]

Something tells me my PS5 PRO will be busy more than ever after tomorrow show. Let te PRO era begin!!

 

[alabtrosMyster]

That segment will have Phil Spender personally introduce those trailers.

Until the next time LectureMaster tags me in one of his meme macros.

Pokémon GO style Ape Escape AR Game. Mark my worlds.

I don’t have a problem with black characters in games. I have a problem with companies being openly racist.

 

[viveks86]

What if it gets announced for PS5 though? Wouldn't that make it fair play?

 

[yogaflame]

How about Judas? I hope it will have a new trailer and launch date. It has that Bioshock atmosphere.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Money's on a release date for Stellar Blade.

 

[Chuck Berry]

For the love of fuck can we please get an update let alone a release date for Little Devil Inside?

 

[Duellist]

Nioh 3!!!!

LOL, you sold... you know you cant put together a decent cast in the greek saga.

It’s in the link, i’m not going to bother writing them all down.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Uncharted 5

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Huh? The Greek Pantheon is the original soap opera.

It's a rich well of characters and story hooks.

 

[nial]

why

It has quite literally nothing to do with the topic.

Until that happens, I don't see this thread being the best place to argue if it's a platformer or not.

it can be announced at the SoP.

That was never brought up, and I think there are dozen of other threads about MS ports.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

 

[Mibu no ookami]

We're not talking about a story about Greek mythology, we're talking about a story that focuses on Kratos...

You guys seem to struggle with what tv looks like today versus what it looks liked in the 90s and early 2000s or what's been continued on CW.

This isn't Xena or Hercules.

It’s in the link, i’m not going to bother writing them all down.

Hold the L bro. The Greek Saga wasn't built for TV. It was Kratos solving puzzles and beating monsters. He had little interaction with characters throughout. Even characters like Athena, Aries, and Zeus are barely in it.

 

[kaizenkko]

Death Stranding 2
Ghost of Yotei
Lost Soul Aside
GOW Remastered
One more thing: From Software new IP.

Bleh, you probably thought the Lord of the Rings couldn’t be translated to the big screen either.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

well, now it has been.

and I think there are dozen of other threads about MS ports.

It's time to move on and treat every MS game as any other third-party publisher game. (we don't need a dozen of threads about MS ports)

 

[nial]

And not every third-party publisher appears at SOPs, so at that point it's speculation out of nowhere. Which, all things considered, is fine; my main issue was with the game itself being discussed.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Bleh, you probably thought the Lord of the Rings couldn’t be translated to the big screen either.

So rather than prove your point, you'll go with a random straw man... You're stacking Ls left and right here.

The Lord of the Rings has major characters to build around.

God of War doesn't even have a secondary protagonist in the greek saga... You have side characters like Athena in the first game and Gaia in the 2nd and 3rd game. That's not enough...

Most TV series have at least 4 or 5 main cast members. There are exceptions like TLOU which was successfully built around 2, but one? Yeah, you're not going to find much success like that. Especially not a character like Kratos was in the Greek Saga. The TV show you want doesn't exist and it doesn't exist for a good reason.

It should be more like “deplatform her” not platformer. Cause of the racist community manager. Get it? Get it?

Maybe Ember Lab will have Kena 2!!!

 

[viveks86]

It has quite literally nothing to do with the topic.

Guys, I think South of fucking Midnight is going to be announced at the state of play tomorrow! Do you think it's... a platformer? Discuss!

Spoiler

 

[amigastar]

That reminds me i still have to play Uncharted 4 on my PC.
Problem is the game makes my CPU going really hot. I don't have those problems with other games.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

And not every third-party publisher appears at SOPs, so at that point it's speculation out of nowhere. Which, all things considered, is fine; my main issue was with the game itself being discussed.

Nowhere? There is a good chance that MS will start showcasing their games at Sony’s events.

 

[awwr999999]

It's a 40 minute presentation; that is a finite amount of seconds for the event. Any time Hellblade 2 would have at the SOP, means time that could've been allotted to another game. That's how this works.

The biggest problem with these things presented as video is that they're boring while being relatively short.
PS needs to edit the best parts of the live event down to something short that hits like a rock video directed by Guy Ritchie in his prime.
Jump cuts, driving music and enough excitement to get people looking forward to the coming year - something no one can turn away from.
Condense the 40min event into a short advertisement for those of us with zero patience that aren't already excited about what PS is doing in '25.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Ahh maybe we get a peek at Wolfeye Studios new game (former Arkane devs). It's still pretty far off it seems though, probably not even a 2026 release.

 

[Topher]

Semantics aside, it's pretty much the farthest thing from Forspoken, at least.

I hope so for SoM's sake

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

When does this show start again? Oh it’s 7 hours south of midnight for me.
