Tune in to State of Play this Thursday for an extended look at Deathloop

From PSBlog: "We’ve seen Cole’s head-spinning powers in action before, but this Thursday we’ll get a nine-minute look at Deathloop’s time-twisted world as part of a new State of Play. The show kicks off at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 11pm CEST, viewable on Twitch or YouTube.

In this extended gameplay sequence, we’ll see Cole use his abilities to stealthily skulk across rooftops… or go in guns blazing to create a whole lot of mayhem. Lots of options available on Blackreef Island."

Shame it's not a full fat State of Play as hoped, had been looking forward to a reel of new PS games. Still excited to check this out though! .

EDIT: oh apparently there will be indies stuff as well

[Hellcat2020]

Hopefully release date for Little Devil Inside

[The Wood]

Feels like I've been waiting for an eternity for that game. Stylish af

[CaptainHenry916]

They're having another event in August. It's already been leaked. I also believe they'll show the PSVR2

[Teflon02]

I think they'll show psvr2 closer to release. They've mostly been using state of play to show things that are closer to release so unless it's a pointless trailer I doubt that'll end up showing. I'd expect one will be for Kena and a Horizon release date

[Notellin]

Can't wait for PSVR2. But I think Sony might wait a little longer before an announcement.

[jznrpg]

Yeah I’ve seen that email for PSVR2 . I don’t know that it’s a show it says a summit it may be for creators only ???

[BLAKHOODe]

I took it that the August event was an invite only event for developers to check out PSVR2, which we'll probably see leaks from. It's still looking like a Holiday 2022 release for PSVR2.

[OB1Biker]

'It's already been leaked'
Oh I see. Insiders stuff...(actually people who read the announcement and try figure)
Sony:
 'Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon. '

[seanpitt23]

If Sony are having a big press conference like type E3 as rumours suggest, then why would they do this why not just wait and show this at that event, this tells me that there will be no conference at all.

[CaptainHenry916]

They did renew the PSX trademark for a reason. My source I follow is pretty legit. It's just a matter of time. Sony has 25 new games in development. I'm not saying the event will happen in August but I will say I can guarantee it will be a big event this year.

[CaptainHenry916]

"Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon" Playstation Blog

I know what that means🤔

[NeoGamer232]

It is interesting. We are less then 5 months before black Friday, and PS is pretty much crickets about when Horizon Forbidden West will release, and they hold a state of play for one game and a bunch of indies.

When is PS going to show the holiday lineup in its entirety? I can't wait for that!

[glennhkboy]

I suppose that IS THE WHOLE LINEUP in its entirety. &GoT Director Cut.

[NeoGamer232]

@glennhkboy
I doubt that is the whole PS lineup for the holidays.

[brewin]

Well this is supposedly 30 minutes and they say that Deathloop is only 9 minutes of the show. Plenty of time to showcase some other stuff and possibly reveal a thing or 2. With the recent bad press surrounding indies and their issues with Sony, I bet a good chunk of this will be focusing on some indie titles.

[blackblades]

Guess rumors were right about the date only.

[kenpachi]

" This will not include Gow, Horizon or next generation VR"

[Furesis]

You missed "Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon"
so expect something within these coming months

[tombfan]

Yup, he missed that crucial point.

[Hellcat2020]

I'm still not sold on this game.
Maybe this will change my mind one way or the other

[itsmebryan]

I'm interested in learning more about the game also.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

I’m not a big fan of Arkane games, largely because I don’t like having supernatural powers in a stealth game. (I was happy to at least be able to choose to forgo the magic powers in Dishonored 2). With that said, they seem to be making great use of the Dualsense. I’m glad Sony paid a studio a check to make sure they got some good support for their controller in its first year. This is definitely a game with alotta potential for it.

[poppatron]

I really like the supernatural powers, I’ve neither the stealth skill or patience to get really into something that’s just straight up stealth. To be fair I was a little of sick of it by the first dishonoured and most of my encounters ended in a blood bath, dishonoured 2 I faired a little better. I think deathloop is a little more action anyway. I hope it is anyway

[Aloymetal]

HFW State of Play sits currently with 6.9 mil views after a month. I have a gut feeling this next SoP gonna flop in terms of views. I'll be skipping this one for sure.

[oldenjon]

@Ron_Danger Where's that playstation experience you said was happening on the 8th? Death Loop? I can barely contain my excitement. JK, I'm interested to see what the 3rd party stuff is. Would love to see more of Forspoken, and Hope Death Stranding DC gets an announcement.

[Ron_Danger]

Woah… when you get so triggered you hold onto something for 2 weeks… I’m assuming you’re talking about this comment replying to you downplaying Sony’s success:

https://n4g.com/comments/re...

Here’s the receipt for when I just said Sony renewed the name for PSX. I didn’t give a date or hype expectations. Just calling you out for lying back then, and now it looks like I’m calling you out for lying now!

This sarcastic attitude that a lot of users have on this site when they think they have a mic drop moment in the comments is so sad.

[oldenjon]

I knew you would see this and respond ; ) I just remembered your trolling / bold prediction and insistence that Sony was going to deliver soon. The last sentence is pretty much my sentiment, except I would add that anonymous trolling and reckless regurgitation of loud opinions / fanboyisms is sadder. I'm just trying to have an ongoing discourse which is a difficult feat on n4g. I consider myself a Sony guy more than anything so I doubt we have much to feud over honestly.

[nRicosS]

Skip, not interesting.

[Vithar]

It's Colt , can't copy/paste right haah

[neutralgamer1992]

This is why you don't buy into the rumors and to be quite Frank with you as a long time PlayStation fan this completely sucks. I mean I understand you're skipping E3 when your competition is showing a lot of stuff even afterwards this is what you have

You have so many games in development why not announce some of them and some of these games are actually coming within the next 9 to 12 months. I will always like PlayStation simply because I like the games they offer but I really hate how they are presenting these games now

As a gamer having those conferences during E3 or around E3 was the best part because you get to see a lot of stuff. You see those special moments when you have shenmue 3, The last guardian and final fantasy 7 remake announced and you see the emotions and excitement

All those rumors about July playstation event being big and having surprises. Can't wait for Ms to get some of their studios up and running and start delivering on consistent basis because only than will Sony and playstation step their games up. I miss the days of ps3/Xbox 360 because Sony were the underdogs and they competed hard and too risks

Need competition because now it seems Sony isn't even try to create excitement. You can hate/disagree with my comment all your want as a OG PlayStation fan I was really looking forward to this event and having big surprises. I don't think that's a lot to ask for that you present a conference like E3 with 60-90+ conference time

[tay8701]

did you miss last gen? sony completely decimated MS. they had great exclusives. about every 3 or 4 months the entire gen, while xbox didnt release shit for nearly the entire xbox 1 lifecycle.

[neutralgamer1992]

No I didn't I have 410 games on playstation 4. But did you miss my point or did you miss all those exciting E3 conferences Sony had? That's all I am asking for. These smaller events for me personally just don't create the same excitement (and this is a my personal issue I am speaking for gamers in general)

But in my humble opinion ps3 had better support from Sony. That's why so many playstation fans hope one day we get backwards compatibility with ps3 games

I think as gamers it would be in our best interest if Microsoft and Sony are going blow for blow and releasing amazing games throughout the year. More competition means better games and more support

And I personally don't think it's too much to ask for a 90 minutes playstation conference with some big AAA games. Gameplay and reveals and maybe few surprises

[Michiel1989]

@tay did you miss his comment? where does he say that wasnt the case? oh wait he didnt, but when someone says something negative about sony, instead of adressing it 99% of the people here say: look at ps exclusives vs ms exclusives when the topic isnt even about that. hes just saying that he isnt the biggest fan of state of play and wants e3 conferences back. nothing about who decimated who last gen or who didnt.

I also want Sony back at E3, they delivered some of the most amazing moments at E3 and state of play just cant make up for that imo. It just doesnt have a hype that an E3 conference has when you know the other big 2 are also doing a conference. State of play is perfectly fine, but i dont think it should replace an E3 conference.

[neutralgamer1992]

Michiel1989

That's all I am saying because those bigger conferences use to create so much fun. I am ok with state of play but than put bigger production values and make it 60-90 minutes and really show some amazing games

This drip need style I am not a fan of. Once again giving my opinion and NOT speaking for gamers in general. We have been h sting about a huge state of play happening soon and than we got this news so I have a right to be disappointed and I shouldn't buy into the so called leaks/rumors(so big part of the blame is on myself too)

Jim Ryan just doesn't get it people just expect better presentation and don't give me the talk about sales because executives before him were selling playstation's too. It's not like he took over a struggling company and turned it around. He actually took over the market leader and coming from back of selling 110 million ps4's

[Michiel1989]

i totally agree, E3 hasnt been the same sony stopped participating. Its like the superbowl of gaming someone called it before here and i think thats a pretty accurate description. no matter your allegiance its hype because you love the sport, or in this case games.

State of play is actually really good for a deep dive into games, really liked how they did the Horizon one, but that doesnt mean i dont want to see anything at E3 from them. The Kevin Buttler conferences were top notch quality, i want more of that. Some humour mixed in with a great presentation and showcase of their (upcoming) games.

[tay8701]

@michiel1989. no i didnt miss his comment. my point is xbox didnt even attempt to release anything last gen, yet sony released a constant stream of game of the year type games several times a yr for the entire gen. sony didn't promise a bunch of BS and not deliver. E3 is dead whether you or i like it or not. they had absolutely zero competition last gen yet they churned out massive hits last gen both established and new ips. they didnt participate in e3 but big deal. what the hell did MS show other than a bunch of shite CG trailers? meanwhile sony has delivered 2 excellent exclusives in the past few months in returnal and rift apart. kena is out this month i believe as well. im probably forgetting something else sony is set to release this month. meanwhile xbox has released that garbage game medium which we find out is not even an exclusive. i trust in sony because they have deliveted the best games every single gen they have been apart of.

[neutralgamer1992]

I am a OG PlayStation fan and trust Sony way more when it comes to games

[Michiel1989]

@tay but what does that have to do with his opinion that he wants sony back at e3? youre literally spinning the conversation again, and start talking about who released the most or the best exclusives. everyone on this site knows sony won last gen...do you think we are blind or stupid? we just dont feel the need to repeat the obvious over and over again especially when it has nothing to do with what Neutral is saying.

he said that he wants sony back at e3 because its hype for him, and that is probably because he likes their games. (thats the case for me at least). and i just dont get how winning last gen has anything to do with that wanting or not wanting sony back at e3 for the reasons he listed.

edit: im gonna make an assumption now and you can tell me if im wrong or not. What I assume you mean to say is that you feel sony doesnt need to be at E3 because they got their shit in order when it comes to games etc. I think thats totally reasonable, i dont think they need to be cause they allready sell a lot of products. but that has nothing to do with me wanting them back at e3. I dont want them back because they won or lost last gen, but because its hype to have all the big 3 there and E3 doesnt feel the same without them.

[tay8701]

@michiel1989 yes that is what i was saying. would i like E3 to mean something now, absolutely. things change though. now in the digital age i guess it makes more business sense to release info when you truely want to and not have to rush some half assed cgi trailer out in order to make it in time to E3. sony can generate buzz when they want to multiple times a yr.

[jznrpg]

Eh? Relax ..... the year isn’t over .

[chiefJohn117]

I told yall already Sony blew their load. You gonna have to wait awhile for any excitement.

[IRetrouk]

Already provided their fanbase with new games since launch is what I think you mean😏

[nRicosS]

July event is rumor and you expect too much from rumor.

[tombfan]

This showcase will not include updates on the next God of War, Horizon Forbidden West or the next generation of PlayStation VR. Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon.

They'll announce something else soon, so it's just a matter of having a bit of patience. Let's enjoy this small event.

[OhReginald]

3rd party and indies....was hoping for 1st party updates....

[neutralgamer1992]

Now they are saying that the bigger event will happen in August(if rumors are to be believed)

[OhReginald]

Yea I read that little blurb at the end. So yea most likely August or September. Hopefully August!

[lellkay]

Not really excited for Deathloop

[DOMination-]

As I've shown in multiple comments now, Sony don't have anything to show at this moment.

It's pretty common sense when you look at their studios. Most of them we either know what's in development and roughly when to expect the game or they have released a game within the last 12 months and we can't expect anything else just yet.

There are some unknowns. But not many. So don't expect a bunch of massive AAA reveals for tue next 12 months, its unlikely.

[chiefJohn117]

Exactly Sony blew most of their load. It'll be about 12 months before anything new/unknown is released

[Atticus_finch]

Lol. This won't age well.

[IRetrouk]

The wishful thinking of an xbox fan....ya love to see it🤣

[sourOG]

Ah damn I was hyped when I saw it on YouTube! I thought it was ragnarok. I’m hyped for deathloop but it’s still disappointing.

[Vizigoth04]

I think this is the biggest thing with insides and rumors. I swear Sony catches wind of this and swaps it out for something different to throw people off. But it sucks to have to wait because I’m look forward to seeing what Sony has in the works for 1st Party Games coming down the road. I’m also looking forward to any Software, hardware and service updates they may have. I understand the weird showcasing of Deathloop but maybe they are giving it its own event because it would not go well with a main event. I’m still intrigued enough in Deathloop if it comes out this year. 17 gig though? Doesn’t sound like a $70 game. So we’ll definitely see.

[wheatley]

State of Play will also showcase some indies and third party stuff. Stay tuned for more throughout the summer.

[JTShiny]

Just for one game? Hard skip from me.

[Father__Merrin]

These mini state of plays usually just concentrate on new game gameplay. When is thier next full PS show

[CrimsonWing69]

Just not a game I’m interested in. I’ll sit this one out.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Yep, same. First SoP I'll be skipping. Sucks.

[Hikoran]

I suspect the next State of play will be perhaps Kena with Horizon release date? A man can dream I guess.

[ScootaKuH]

I don't think I will. Hopefully the game does well but it doesn't interest me at all

[leejohnson222]

Don't think I'm interested as they showed way too much already of death loop, was wishing for a bigger event, not too worry

[Good-Smurf]

Oh well I won't hold my breath for this one then.
I hope there is more than just this and indies though maybe a bit of one last thing to hype us 'till next State of Play.
I'm just not into Arkane stuff.

[Acecalibur]

Wack.

[Stanjara]

I'm skipping this one.

[Plagasx]

30 min deep dive in to Deathloop....yay.... -_-

Where the hell is Sony's big replacement for E3?

[Gamist2dot0]

I would be interested in Deathloop probably 10 yrs ago. Not today. What's new about it?

[Mr_Luke]

Mh... never cared about Deathloop, not my kind of game. :( i hope they will announce soon a full event, maybe in the State of Play? :D Probably not, but in the past they used that "event" to show dates, prices, etc. I know it was about games and the PS5 but why not their main event? :/

[ajax17]

maybe this state of play will change my mind, but I have pretty much zero interest in this game so far

[brewin]

Well, I was curious how the PlayStation community would judge this game as it is the 1st new release since the ink dried on the MS deal. Judging by the complete melt down on this forum, looks like people don't truly care about the games anymore. It's still a PS5 exclusive for at least a year and clearly sony still has faith in it. They're even letting it be sold for $60, not the$70 premium.

But fanboys care more about the politics of the business than the games apparently. What a sad way to think and act. Like, y'all don't even care if the game is good or how hard the devs worked on it, you just want to hate and be ignorant. And then turn around and say the Xbox fanbase is toxic?! 🙄🤷🤦
29326;💩

[Harryvok]

Ahh bummer, I have zero interest in Deathloop. Just looks like a 70s Dishonored. Didn't like Dishonored or Prey either.

Hopefully see more of Kena, Little Devil Inside and Stray at least.

[EmperorDalek]

I don't know what it is about Deathloop, but I'm already tired of seeing it, so I'll skip this show. It'll probably be a good game though.

[chiefJohn117]

I see why they skipped E3 😬

[Atticus_finch]

Sony is too busy developing and releasing games. Other consoles can't skip E3 since that's all their fans have.

[fxa5209]

E3 was the PlayStation Christmas which every Sony fan waits for every year. At least, we would know when things are coming and when games would be revealed. We are now sitting in the dark and don't know when announcements will happen and trying to find leaks if a big event will be held by Sony or not and when it will be held.

Amid waiting for a big event, we are hit with a death loop lame state of play.

I hate how Sony changed, I hate state of play, and if any one thinks PS5 success is attributed to Jim Rayan, then you are wrong. He is only riding the wave from a successful previous generation. What are Jim Rayan Biggest accomplishments?

- Abandoning E3
- Moving Jewels of PlayStation games to PC for a few extra bucks without understanding the value of exclusives to a platform.

Waiting for this day when Rayan leaves, and for good.

[waverider]

As expected. Nice move to make a monthly State of Play to keep the hype high. Of course that Deathloop is not of the same league of HZD2, but its cool to know more and see if any indie coming is nice.

[Acecalibur]

Adamantium Skip.

[DJStotty]

Loving the xbox one and Series X tags lmao

I'll be tuning in.

[Imortus_san]

State of play is even worst them this week on Xbox show.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

One of the very few games I'm interested in. So far, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus and Resident Evil Village are the best games of the year for me.

[RAVEN81]

It's a sad day to see Sony do a press conference for Microsoft owned game but I guess Sony has to advertise a game they help publish without knowing Microsoft was going to acquire the Bethesda Family
