It's time!

[FPSRUSSIA]

plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year.

hope its first party so far the exclusives this year from have been good stellar blade rise of the ronin which i have beat them and recommend.

[MrNinosan]

Concord

[romulus23]

If they are PlayStation Studio games that would make them first party.

[Cacabunga]

They said there will be no major release this year unfortunately.
Hopefully some teasers in the end of the show. We need 1st party exclusives. Also to pave the way for the PS 5 pro but with 30min I do not expect much.

[rob-GP]

@Cacabunga - they never said that. They said there's no sequels to established franchises this year, but that leaves indies, smaller first-party, new IPs, etc...

[Lightning77]

It seems to be Astro Bot, Concord will release times year. Media Molecules new IP could release this year also. Fair Games I think will be early 2025.

Ghost 2 teaser and Bend New game teaser. If they're gonna show anything triple related I think it'll be these 2 games. Something in engine with 2025 release dates.

[Cacabunga]

I was also speaking about major releases.. i never said there won’t be any 1st party release this year. I said no major release before Q2 25

Here’s the link i found

You should keep your expectations low just for a 30 minute State of Play

[outsider1624]

30mins? Then expectations are very very very low..😔

[StormSnooper]

True. But a lot can be shown in 30 minutes as well.

[JEECE]

Well it does say 30+ minutes. So it could be closer to an hour, but I'm sure they don't want to call it an hour long show and then have it only be 53.7 minutes, because then the Internet would be aflame with "teh Sony liez, this just like PSN requirement" comments.

Really either way it just depends on the amount of fluff. I'd much rather have a tight show that focuses an appropriate amount of time on big new games than a 90-minute show where fifteen minutes is dedicated to showing gameplay of the new Foamstars DLC and another ten minutes is dedicated to Fortnite skins.

[Abear21]

Just trailers and a teases for games far far away

[thorstein]

14 titles.

[anast]

It's going to be a banger.

[1Victor]

I want to see what was so scary that the competition had to announce a CoD game day one on their services 2 days before what they knew was going to be this show.
.
Now back on track I can’t wait to see what’s new on VR2 and get my hopes for Warhawk or Starhawk HD dream crushed again😩😭

Edit: I’ll be happy if they show gameplay of at least 10 of this 14 games that would be 20 minutes of gameplay and 20 for showing games in later development.

[1Victor]

Sorry it should had said 10 for showing games in development not 20 damn thumb.

[isarai]

For disappointment

[Hotpot]

I would keep my expectations in check since this is a sudden announcement and just over 30+ minutes long. Maybe one teaser for their next big game, but the truly big guns would be saved for their inevitable showcase.

[Retroman]

I'm sure they will announced Insomniac Wolverine

[shadowT]

Concord!

[Eonjay]

This is probably the main title for the show. Being as though this show is for PS Studio titles coming out this year. And we know of two. This and possibly Astrobot. I really appreciate them taking this approach where they wait to show something before its about to launch. I am just sick of waiting years for a game to come out after it is shown.

[Plague-Doctor27]

Concord (with beta announced at SGF)
Until Dawn Remake
Astro Bot
Lego Horizon
Helldivers 2 Illuminate shadow dropped

[RaidenBlack]

Likely this is the list ... but I doubt lego Horizon and Astro Bot are scheduled for this year, but who knows?
Concord likely to be the flagship title of the event, complete with gameplay and the show might end with one tease of a future unannounced title, like GoT 2.
I'll also include other games to the list like Little Devil Inside & Lost Soul Aside.

[Terry_B]

Looking forward to see some interesting new games..no matter if exclusive or for PC.

Personally I would love to see a new Ridge Racer..or a new Kart racer with Playstation characters..but I expect more updates of games we have seen already instead. Lets see if the God of War Trilogy Remake Rumor was true.

[ravens52]

State of Play 🙄 Damn. It's better than nothing but I would've preferred a showcase. State of Plays should be done more often if that's the format going forward Cause when would there be a showcase now? Can't wait till 2moro though.

[Storm23]

Excited to see what is in store for this show. Showcase is rumored for September. That makes sense because the PS5 Pro will be coming out at the end of the year (probably November?) and they don't want to announce it too early, so unveiling it at the showcase would set it up for launch. That's my guess...

[ravens52]

Fair enough, makes sense.

[ravens52]

Update: Herman Hulst said the industry is in a good place lmao 🤯🤯🤯
29327;🤯🤯. So weird right. Like there's so much "the industry isnt doing good" talk EVERYWHERE. Turns out that's not the case in PS case, I assume it's not the case for Nintendo as well. One outlier making everyone think the industry isn't doing good... Crazy.

[Hofstaderman]

Going in with tempered expectations, likely leaving pleasently suprised.
PS. Don't forget the second showcase in June headed by XBOX...every screen is an XBOX (so is every console) ; )

[Petebloodyonion]

Nice to hear about PS VR2 titles!

[Eonjay]

I know it sounds weird but I finally expect to see Half Life now that they have certified the PC adapter for PSVR2.

[Petebloodyonion]

I'm still puzzled as to why it hasn't been released on PSVR2 yet.

[poppatron]

You’ll certainly be able to play alyx on psvr2, it’ll just be through steam on your pc, we shouldn’t ever expect to see alyx on ps store it’s the biggest steam vr exclusive

[Elda]

About time. I'm hoping they show some interesting goodies but it's not a showcase so I better not expect too much.

[Eonjay]

Also love how they wait till the last minute to announce the show.

[RaiderNation]

If Sony can confirm the rumored new Astrobot game, plus Concord for this year and both be impressive, I'll count it as a win! Anything else would be gravy.

[outsider1624]

Man if Sony can just tease anything from ND, SP, SM,Guerilla, Bluepoint, Insomniac..ill be happy. It doesnt need to be a trailer even..just a tease..

[shinoff2183]

They can keep concord. Their dropping the ball hard on their bread and butter 1st party wise

[purple101]

if they release astro and concord, they will have had AN ENORMOUS amount of exclusives this year, admittedly all smaller /or less known games, but still....

ff7
stellar blade
rise of ronin
zenless zone zero (coming soon)
silent hill remake (coming soon)
until dawn (coming soon)
lost soul aside (coming soon)
EVOTINCTION already on steam, comming to ps5 2024
convaleria (ps china hero project, 1st party) https://www.youtube.com/wat...
astro
concord

thats 11 console/pc exclusives in 2024 alone, thats a bit mad

[Good-Smurf]

Man, they almost missed May that was close.
Anyway, bring on the 31st it's 5 AM time for me.

[RiseNShine]

If Sony plays their cards right and has a good show, it's going to destroy xbox with the recent layoffs and underwhelming releases.

[StormSnooper]

I wonder if there are game announcements

Edit: wait is the description legit? It says “plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later THIS year”

😳

[FPSRUSSIA]

Yup its legit I got it from the article another win incoming.

[Lightning77]

That's probably Astro Bot leggo Horizon and other smaller titles.

[StormSnooper]

Probably. But Astrobot is not really a “small title” depending on who you ask. I realize it doesn’t have Mario’s reach, but man that game deserves to be mentioned with the greats. In VR, it was something else altogether.

[outsider1624]

30mins? Then expectations are very very very low..😔

[Cacabunga]

Indeed,unfortunately

[StormSnooper]

This is only a State of Play, not a conference so we would be wise to keep expectations to a minimum.

[purple101]

"State of Play is back! Tune in live for updates on PS5 and PS VR2 titles, plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year.

must be at least one banger in there, must be

[Relientk77]

I loved Astro's Playroom, so I'm very excited to see a new Astrobot game

[jimb0j0nes]

Not the big showcase we were hoping for, but I'm sure there'll still be plenty to get hyped about

[Flenter]

Lets go !!! 😎😎🎮

[isarai]

Keep in mind this is a state of play, not a showcase. I'm really not expecting much out of this, especially only 30mins

[Skuletor]

Not a showcase? Expectations dropped

[InUrFoxHole]

Cmon. Give me a reason to turn on my ps5

[roadkillers]

Astrobot, GotY

[MrSec84]

It would be an awesome surprise if Half Life: Alyx was coming to PSVR2 on PS5 and PC.
Hopefully a remake of Bloodborne gets announced, along with the rumoured Astro Bot PS5 game.

[Petebloodyonion]

Here's my expectation toward this State of Play
- Astrobot announcement (let's hope there's a VR port)
- Silent Hill 2
- Until Dawn remake or remaster
- Concord
- Horizon Zero Dawn remaster
- Metal Gear Snake Eater remake
- DLC for GT7
- a bunch of indies games
- Upcoming fighter for SF6
-Alan Wake2 DLC

[InUrFoxHole]

Would love to see a socom remake. Stop wasting time on the last of us or horizon

[purple101]

xdev tweeted see you tomorrow, I forgot what game they working on, they are a mobile support studio, who go around helping other studios, kinda like an area manager, they are known to have recently started work on their own game, as their expanding,

but after helping on stellar blade, its anyones guess as to what they have to do with tomorrows show

[Aussiesummer]

A good look at and release date for silent hill 2 remake.

[TheEroica]

Sweet! Im expecting lots of live service games no one asked for and teasers for games on ps6....

Ps5 is the most disappointing console in sonys history and all the downvotes in the world cant change that.

[Crows90]

Why would you get down votes? Very few exclusives from 1st party. They've also moved many of its games to PC making it less needed...

You're not wrong. The quality of their games is still great though. Returnal and demons souls mark the early start of this generation for me but since then there hasn't been much else that has really stuck with me.

[VersusDMC]

PS5 owners have enjoyed the console only releases of Rebirth, Rise of the ronin and Stellar blade just this year.

But i guess if you have brain worms only when Sony owns the developers do the exclusives count.

[Crows90]

@versus

Don't be daft. Obviously we are comparing previous generations of Sony 1st party.

But I guess if you have brain worms you couldn't figure that out.

[VersusDMC]

Gotta love the commitment to the live service narrative after the live service Helldivers 2 came out to be the best selling game of the year and have Microsoft/xbox owners whine about it not being on their console.

Also funny is the PS5 being the most "dissapointing" sony console selling so much that the competition has to port it's exclusives to it to make ends meet.

Sweet indeed.

[gigoran8]

just in case I got some money on my card. You never know if they will do a surprise ps5 pro preorder. I know not everyone is keen on it, but I will be upgrading and giving my old one to my dad

[Storm23]

I think they won't show the Pro until September at the rumored showcase. But we will see!

[shaenoide]

A 30 minutes show is the bare minimum after so few inhouse games released from playstation studios lately
I was waiting for a 90 minutes show at least.

[VincentVanBro]

I’m very excited but also a little concerned at the anemic 30 minute time. Plenty of time for some bangers though, hopefully.

[P_Bomb]

Some first party please!

[repsahj]

I hope some new tease from 1st party!

[gold_drake]

looking forward to it

[Tzuno]
