The curtain has closed on another State of Play, and this wasn’t a vintage one, to put it politely.
Here is the start date and time for the Xbox Games Summer Showcase 2024 with bundles of exciting leaks and how to watch.
10AM PT/1PM ET/6PM london time.
on June 9th.
this is so odd. we had ps before the summer fest and now xbox after.
The rumor is 30 games with a nearly 2 hour show. I hope so I, been saying they need to go balls to the wall with their showcase. That's according to Grubb again. Yeah a huge pinch of salt he's only been wrong or half right about some stuff.
There's also suppose to be a Wu Tang Clan game that's a kungfu action RPG featuring the legendary hip hop group New Yorks own Wu Tang Clan. You read right Wu Tang Clan kungfu action RPG.
Sounds weird, random and quirky but hey I'm down to see it.
I hope it's a good showing knowing most games that will be shown will be multiplats & XB timed exclusives that'll eventually become multi-plats.
Blumhouse Games has announced a slate of upcoming horror games! Project info, developers and more revealed with a sizzle reel.
Mega Cat Studios teams with FNAF creator Scott Cawthon to create a new eerie entry for the franchise, embracing a retro aesthetic.
Just like the metro piece...
The point of state of play is to offer focused sessions. Not every session will be to everyone's liking and nor do they have to be. They're not designed to be killer exclusive after killer exclusive.
Awful take.
Sony stated this was a 3rd party state of play. Why did people expect so much from this?
It's not a Sony showcase, it was a 3rd party state of play and that's exactly what they delivered.
Not sonys fault the writer can't read press releases or has some unrealistic expectation.
So many people.out there still can't comprehend state of play vs showcase are 2 different things for Sony.
U want Sony's AAA bangers wait for the showcase, we should get it in may or juve around e3 time.
"After a couple of surprisingly stellar installments last year, this proved a wake-up call – a reminder that Sony doesn’t really know what to do with this format, and it’s had more than enough time to figure it out."
which was preceeded by
"It’s perhaps worth underlining that the platform holder did, admittedly, deliver exactly what it said it would: the presentation revolved around Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and there were a smattering of treats aside, including a couple of killer trailers from Capcom, and next month’s PS Plus lineup "
Soooo....they don't know what to do with the format, but they admit they had some good ones. This one, which was less than stellar, they also admit was signposted in advance as to what it was, and was delivered on. So, wait, what is their complaint again?
I think the issue is expectations.
People expect megatons the every 3 months and that's not very sustainable 🤷♂️
Also many developers want to host their own streams (like Konami did with Silent Hill).
It was pretty C-rank worthy stuff, good for what it was. But nothing mindblowing. The Suicide Squad looks to be absolute trash, so that's a 100% clear skip.
