State of Play returns this Wednesday

PlayStation: "Join us January 31 for 40 minutes covering 15+ games, including Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin."

[-Foxtrot]

I just prey any brand new announcements aren’t live service

[Eonjay]

I would like to see a nice mix. I'm already excited learn about the new for some new PSVR2 games!

[purple101]

Yep psvr2 games one big one, if we’re lucky… pffft

[Abnor_Mal]

I hope to hear the new Snioer Elite game on Meta is making its way to PSVR. Also I HOPE Capcom announces RE7 PSVR2, but that’s a pipe dream at best.

[DafunkyRebel]

What I wouldn't give to see another Ace Combat game in next gen VR2

[fr0sty]

Give me Wipeout and Astrobot, I'll be happy.

[ApocalypseShadow]

This comment sounds better.

It's like they don't even want to see what is offered for an online game before trashing it. And I'm not even an online gamer.

Gamers asked for Sony to create online games that are just as good as their single player games. But won't even give even one a chance that would help Sony in the long run.

[--Onilink--]

Would have liked to see fewer trailers and a bit more time on each.
40min on 15+ games leaves very little time for each game, especially with Stellar Blade and Ronin getting an extended look

When there are too many quick trailers and its just back to back to back, things start to blur out by the end

[Babadook7]

Yeah we need to see the next big AAA VR2 game after RE4 R.

[thorstein]

"Prey" "live service"

Well played, good sir, well played.

[Xenial]

"Well Preyed"

[jlove4life]

Could've been better i pay there's no live services seem to draw more interest

[Redemption-64]

Hope we get a good live service game. A good mix of games is what i want.

[Eonjay]

This! Give me options! I play a little bit of everything.

[jznrpg]

Id prefer less live service but I’m open to trying some if they are done well.

[RaidenBlack]

"On the 31st, Ronins will Rise, we’ll die Stranded, have a Rebirth and Kojima will fulfil his dream. Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation while the hills will remain Silent Until the Dawn when you’ll need to catch the Metro. Just don’t be a Judas about it."
"Have a Stellar Wednesday!"

Metro, Silent Hill, Judas ~ are the ones I am most excited about ... and curious about Stellar and DS2

[jznrpg]

Any? There’s going to be one or 2 probably We already know they are working on a bunch that are supposed to release over the next 6-8 years or whatever it is.

Bend’s game is supposed to be a MP type game maybe that one. Horizon MMO (rumored to be an mmo) game (I liked some MMOs like EQ, FF11/14 LOTRO I might try it) could be there plus the others they briefly showed Marathon and that one heist game from Haven studio. 1 or 2 of those most likely will be there. I’ll give them a chance but most likely will have little interest in most of their live service stuff but ya never know. Loved Warhawk, SoCoM and stuff like that back in the day.

[Rocketisleague]

I just pray there is a few new announcements

[DoubleYourDose]

I read it's possible that Concord is shown again.

[DarXyde]

I have faith they've learned a valuable lesson.

[MrBaskerville]

New announcements? Wouldn't count on it. Sounds like a third party thing. Best case they finally show us Concord. But I assume it:s mostly for upcoming stuff.

[Killer2020UK]

*pray

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'm hoping to see some new stuff, and hopefully it isn't too far away.

[StormSnooper]

Why? I’m purely a single player gamer, but I don’t see anything at all wrong with PlayStation also having live service games.

Xbox pretty much is only live service.

[-Foxtrot]

They’ve announce enough

We don’t want Sony dipping into that field when their bread and butter is pure single player experiences. It’s fine if they have a multiplayer component like old school classic multiplayer without the live service drip feed seasons and the like but they should stick to what they know

Apart from Wolverine, what other brand new first party AAA games are coming from them? There’s nothing from their main studios.

We will probably get Spiderman 2 DLC but that’s it so far

[StormSnooper]

Does it HAVE to be first party to count? We have single player exclusives arriving with release date, why does that not count?

[SegaSaturn669]

Need suikoden remake release date after the delay,

[InUrFoxHole]

We need something. Would love to hear a new socom

[Shiro173]

That would be amazing but doubtful. Who would they have making it 🤔🧐🤔
29488;

[InUrFoxHole]

No clue at this point but I would also be down for KillZone even if it's just MP

[Johnh5223]

Can you imagine even a full remaster of the first one.

[InUrFoxHole]

I remember playing part 3. The most realistic sounds I've heard in a game at the time.

[NotoriousWhiz]

I would love a new Socom but... part of the magic of Socom on the PS2 was the community. You could hop in a random lobby and it wouldn't be toxic name calling non sense from squeaky kids. Nowadays, if people talk at all, we're probably more likely to get someone blasting music over their mic, instead of forming up squads to complete an objective.

[monkey602]

The rumour was true so. That same rumour also said a new Kojima project, Silent Hill 2 and Judas would make appearances. Oh and a new Metro game

[Eonjay]

For the Kojima project isn't that DS2?

[Sephiroushin]

As I mentioned above it could be DS2, a new game or the project could be a movie, leaker mentioned Kojima will fulfill his dream, and Kojima for a long time has been wanting to direct a movie which is kinda one of his dreams!

[monkey602]

I actually thought movie myself

[jznrpg]

DS2 is most likely the project but it could be DS2 and a new project but seems less likely

[RaidenBlack]

ngl, even though the list seems mostly third party (I am open for 1st party surprises as well) ... its a goood third party list ... stellar blade, new Metro, ken levine's judas, Silent Hill 2 ... all the hot stuffs
now only if the MGS rumor comes true as well ...

[Vengeance1138]

Stellar Blade is 2nd party.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Regarding MGS, maybe they'll announce Vol. 2, it's pretty obvious there was going to be another collection coming up.

[Sephiroushin]

could be a movie though, leaker mentioned Kojima will fulfill his dream, and Kojima for a long time has been wanting to direct a movie

[MrBaskerville]

DS2 date and gameplay seems plausible. Silent Hill 2 also seems likely, though I'm not sure Sony has ever acknowledged that it exists. So wondering if maybe Konami would do their own Sh2 blowout at some point.

[Crows90]

We'll see. Sony needs to realize MS has got a ton of money to try and drive them out of business.

MS for better or worse has a ton of console exclusives coming. Sony...not nearly as much.

I hope they can wow us. Would like to get some more use out of the PS5 5his gen.

[Hofstaderman]

Maybe they sneak in a "how to play physical media" video. It would go like this: go to store, find aisle of games, choose disc, buy disc, insert disc, play disc. That would be hilarious.

[fr0sty]

Man do I miss those days... Shu, Kaz... Adam... Jack... PlayStation doesn't quite have the "personality" behind its PR these days. They need to get that back.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Zeref]

As hilarious as that empty 1st party list for 2024. Seems like this State of Play is not gonna change that either based on the leaks 😬

[goldwyncq]

Sony’s too lame for those kinds of videos nowadays. It feels as if their PR department has been overtaken by AI.

[Tedakin]

that wouldn't age well since everyone is going to be digital in a few years.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

That would be savage, especially if they montage the originally moment, then add that on the end.

[Eonjay]

Sony has plenty of console exclusives coming. This year so far know of Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronan, Silent Hills, Concord, FF7 Rebirth, GranBlue Relink, Pacific Drive, Helldivers 2... So it just sounds like you are trying to create a narrative that doesn't exist. In fact, I am absolutely crushed with the content coming in February alone.

Also... I think Sony is aware that Microsoft has a ton of money.

[Crows90]

Obviously I'm referring to 1st party...sounds like you don't quite understand the narrative that does exist.

[crazyCoconuts]

A lot of signalling from MS execs about bringing games to other platforms. Will be interesting to see where MS draws the line on exclusives

[Vengeance1138]

MS has had "a ton of money" since they first entered the industry, at no point did it help them. Sony's still here, not to mention after the last Xbox direct, there really is no threat coming from them this year unless you're into games build for "Modern Audiences". Yikes!
MS needs to realize that making great games is the main driving force in gaming that will drive players to your ecosystem, not subscription services with shovelware filler titles.

[Zeref]

It's funny you made that comment about "Modern Audiences" when your kin have been calling Spiderman 2 and Last of Us Part 2 "woke"

[Lightning77]

"MS needs to realize that making great games is the main driving force in gaming that will drive players to your ecosystem"

Didn't know Indians Jones, Avowed, and HB2 are shovelware filler.

This is you we're talking about here after all.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

There's a reason everyone else is curb stomping Xbox, they just can't put out the games like Sony/Nintendo do. Although I am getting tired of this "modren Audiences" thing everyone else doing, it basically just makes the game blander and less fun.

[TheTony316]

People don't care about Xbox no matter how much money MS has. Their future is multiplat.

[Crows90]

So far Sony has been lucky that for whatever reason most of MS newly acquired studio games have been major disappointments.

Starfield could have been the next Skyrim...except they messed up big time.
Redfall could have been a good arkane game...except they messed up big time.

I mean what are the chances?

Even Indiana Jones could have been a 3rd person action game to rival uncharted....except it's machine games and they specialize in 1st person.

So many possible huge hits all being coincidentally subverted.

[anast]

MS is like the bargain bin at Walmart, it's just a bunch of jank in a box.

[Hofstaderman]

Its very sad. The 360 won me over with Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odysee, Halo 3, Mass Effect and all in one year. They are very far gone.

[StormSnooper]

@crow
MS doesn’t have more, they have more mentioned. PlayStation has more upcoming. MS is in emergency more.

[StormSnooper]

Mode*

[bleedsoe9mm]

Hopefully better than the last one.

[northpaws]

I do gaming night with my friends every Friday night, really hope there is a good first party MP games for us to get addicted to. Next one we will try is Helldivers 2, co-op in the world of Horizon would be fun if the rumour is true as well.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I wish I could get mine to play something else besides Mortal Kombat, it's a good game, but tiring after a billion rounds each time you get together.

[Hofstaderman]

My friend's Tekken 8 disc is the new village bicycle, its been in all of our PS5s and has caused its fair share of "stop cheesing" arguments

[northpaws]

@FinalFantasyFanatic

It is not easy to convince everyone in the group to switch, easiest way for us was to pick something from the PS Plus free games first, so no one needs to pay extra first. After a few games, we now discuss and look forward to some new title here and there. Still trying to convince the last member in our group to buy Helldivers 2 lol.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

@Hofstaderman,
I like to use Cetrion, I've played few fighting games, so I figured out most of her move set and upset my friends, lol.

@northpaws,
I normally just provide the games/controllers, even if I have to drag my hardware to a friend's house, it was unbelievable hard to get them to try Smash or Mario Kart, even the Sonic Racing games were a bit like pulling teeth. I'm pretty sure they'd like Mario Golf, but I'm not sure if I'd like the game myself.

One of my friends has PS Plus, but doesn't claim the games even when he has the space for them (I just claim everything regardless of whether or not I have hard drive space).

There was also that time they got hooked on Cards Against Humanity, that was good until it got boring, and I don't feel like buying every expansion just to freshen up the game for myself. I just accept that they very much like their comfort zones and that I'll just always have trouble introducing new games to them.

[StormSnooper]

I was going to say Helldivers 2; then read the rest of your comment.

[Hofstaderman]

Perhaps we may get a peek of the heavily rumoured new Bend game.

[jznrpg]

It’s a MP game from what the studio guy said in an interview. Don’t know anything more than that.

[Hofstaderman]

Heres hoping that its a single player game instead.

[MrBaskerville]

From earlier Sop's I think it's safe to assume that there'll be an emphasis on games releasing this year. So probably more focus on Rise of Ronin, FFVII and such than on unannounced games. I would keep expectations in check, but who knows, maybe there's a surprise, which isn't Concord.

Some rumours say new Metro.

[Lightning77]

Bring on Stellar Blade. I'm confident in a release date also.

[Eonjay]

"Among many other updates, we’ll feature extended looks at Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin, two great games coming to PS5 this year. "

A release date for SB is very likely given that PSBlog previously announced that Stellar Blade was coming in the first half of 2024 PS5 releases. My guess is May or June.

[Lightning77]

I'll guess April. April 12 for a release date.

[CRASHBASHUK]

maybe have a update of the gex trilogy? we have not heard any thing since last summer

[Vengeance1138]

The first words from Herman Hulst since he went MIA after the last horrible showcase. Hopefully this one hits hard! Stun locking the competition.

[DivineHand125]

For PSVR2, there are two main announcements I would like to see. PC support or Half-Life Alex.

I would also like to see what naughty dog is working on as well as gameplay for wolverine

[spirited]

So no games from media molecule,bend ,sucker punch,blue point, house marque ??

[dumahim]

How about waiting until after the SoP and find out.

[Tzuno]

Lower your expectations boy...
Kratos.

[isarai]

Sounds like probably just updates on games we've already seen. I'm not expecting much honestly

[Shiro173]

Hype for rise of the Ronin and ff7Rebirth

[YourMommySpoils]

Stellar Blade and everyone's happy.

[Elda]

Myself included.

[YourMommySpoils]

Specially you.

[Kingrizzy90]

what is everyone wanting to see? i want to see Black Myth Wukong, Project M, looks promising and Phantom Blade Zero

[Barlos]

Resistance Trilogy Remastered and Killzone Trilogy Remastered is what I want to see.

Of course there's zero chance of that, but it's still what I'd like to see.

Phantom Blade Zero looks very good though.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

Since the guy correctly leaked the date, the games he mentioned might be true.

Stellar Blade
Rise of the Ronin
Death Stranding 2
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Sonic Generations Remaster
Silent Hill 2
Until Dawn Remaster
New Metro game
Judas

[Eonjay]

All three sound interesting. I am most excited to get the extended play for Stellar Blade but I would also like to finally see Concord.

[specialguest]

State of Play will never be as exciting as those E3 announcements and reveal trailers. FF7 Remake, Shenmue 3, Uncharted 4, KZ2 "game play" trailer, The Last Guardian, the return of Kojima showing Death Stranding. The energy of the huge audience and developers on stage was special

[Barlos]

Have some

[Juancho51]

Tits are JACKED. Let’s fkn go! I dont even have any expectations or anticipations, i just want to see a good state of play.

[repsahj]

Don't hype it too much. I don't want to hope and be disappointed Hahaha.

[Profchaos]

I really want to see some major psvr2 games ideally first party efforts as these nothing in the pipelines that's been announced

[Ozzy2407]

Hopefully they will show Metro VR

[Stanjara]

Third party let's go!

[Hereandthere]

One thing for sure is we won't get cheap looking low budget Unreal Engine games that look 2 gens behind like xbox showed a few weeks back, Sony games are high quality high budget games that push the graphic envelope and never flop.

[YourMommySpoils]

Spot on. Sony never fails to impress.

[Whitey2k]

Sony buys Sega "remake of generation and sonic racing VR"

Buy multiple studios of Embracer

3D Realms
Eidos
Thq nordic
Crystal
Slipgate ironworks

"I'm only dreaming"

[S2Killinit]

Would like to see a new story driven game.
