Rocket Chainsaw: We've finally got another PS5 showcase announced and we've collated everything that we think you can expect to see during the show.
Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital announced a collaboration between Gran Turismo 7 and Xiaomi.
A recent burst of activity on the social media channels of Gran Turismo's creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, has set some tongues wagging about the possibility of a new marque from a previously unrepresented nation to come to the game series: Xiaomi.
The first piece of the puzzle was a little bit of a m
It would be interesting. I’m all for it. Gran turismo is suppose to be the place to realistically drive cars from all make and models.
China has a whole bunch of interesting cars right now, so would be cool if they'd release a pack with a bunch of different brands, as well as a nice (fictional) China track ...
Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”
Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.
I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.
Well whats different about Housemarque which Sony also owns that they can tell Sony what they will and wont do but the others couldn't?
That GoW live service game was the dumbest idea ever. I thought they were remaking Bloodbourne or a Demons souls expansion (covering that broken arch stone). Sony was really panicked after that abk/Microsoft news hit. I hope it was a side project for Bluepoint and that there's another one in the pipeline. That GoW game apparently never got off the ground.
Blaming Sony for pursuing Live Service when the top 5 games every month by spend and engagement are live service games is illogical. Gamers are telling Sony where to invest so there is a real disconnect between what is said online and what people actually play. Who should Sony listen to? Clearly the logical decision is to listen to people actually playing games and whether we like it or not Sony would be in vioulation of it duty to its investors if it didn't try to pursue LS. People taking out their fustrations on Live Service games by attacking Sony and using it as the industry whipping boy does not fix the industry. You are just telling the rest of the industry that they can keep doing what they are doing because they aren't called Sony. All I hear people say is that they hate live service but every single month the top games are live service. You are all either lying or you don't know what you are talking about. Sony should pursue both SP and live service games.
I expect the preorder date for the email direct order invites to be given. That will likely take place days possibly a week before the standard preorders so anyone not getting an email invite, or anyone that misses what Sony has said will be a short window to reply and order, can still get in on the main commercial preorder. I do not think the surprise IP will necessarily be small. In fact I expect it to be bigger than Miles Morales. Possibly Killzone or SOCOM. And on that note I think we will get confirmation of the first Spider-Man title remastered for the PS5 and included with Miles Morales. Also the rumors about FF XVI also mention some sort of Sony exclusivity. I think we may get a new Project Athia trailer as well as a look at some PS5 enhanced titles like Ghost of Tsushima, TLOU2, Nioh 2 and a few others.
Price and release date, pretty much.
New games, possible a new studio acquisition, Ps5 teardown, new accessories, third party exclusivity
I swear, they better reveal the whole hog at this showing. It better not be a "Oh and the console will come in black" Stay tuned for more news in the coming months! See ya" kind of deal or I'll be pissed.
I'd expect a listing of all day one games and a further look into them for example Spiderman mm is a tough sell if we only saw maybe 15 seconds if gameplay also some news around upgrade paths for current gen titles.
Along with a price and pre order details ofcourse
