State of Play returns June 4

Watch live at 2pm PT / 11pm CEST on YouTube and Twitch for news and updates on great games coming to PS5.

[Elda]

I will be watching.

[Eonjay]

Is it just me or has Sony gotten better at keeping its work under wraps? This actually came out of no where. The known leakers were saying maybe September.

[repsahj]

All of them are focused on NS2. XD

[Babadook7]

A smaller event in June was apparently rumoured according to ChatGPT. It probably wasn't picked up on as it was a small event.

[Obscure_Observer]

"Is it just me or has Sony gotten better at keeping its work under wraps? This actually came out of no where. The known leakers were saying maybe September."

LOL!

It´s just you.

Grubb was spot on yet once again.

[Cacabunga]

A new Killzone and new God of War or go home…

[Profchaos]

Nah was leaked by Grub just drowned out by other news

[InUrFoxHole]

Maybe they really dont have anything to show? New anyway.

[Notellin]

Not even close. Their entire operation is full of leaks. Sony can't keep anything a secret that's why no one is excited for their event because we already know what to expect.

It is just you because this was leaked for a while now and they were spot on about the show.

[TheEroica]

Getting ready for those GaaS reveals! Sony is a shadow of themselves this gen.

[ocelot07]

Didn't they cancel most of them?

[brew]

They deliver single player greatness.

Released games - Miles Morales , Astro's Playroom , Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart , Horizon Forbidden West , Gran Turismo 7 , God of War Ragnarok , Spider-Man 2 , Astro Bot , etc.

And they just recently announced Ghost of Yotei , INTERGALACTIC , and SAROS to go along with Wolverine. All are expected to be great.

Nothing stops this train , not even some risky multiplayer games. PlayStation greatness isn't dependent on them.

[abstractel]

Also, Steam are _thieves_ for taking 30%. That's what Nintendo, Sony and Xbox charge developers on their storefronts. They have to develop hardware which is a much bigger risk compared to Valve and except for Nintendo, they make a loss on hardware in the first year. Want to help, buy from Epic Games, they charge developers 15% on their storefront.

What's kind of nuts to me is that UE charges 5% of your sales to use your engine. Hosting a storefront like Steam is nothing like developing an engine like UE and Valve still have the audacity to charge 30%.

[Traecy]

Why would you get downvotes for saying you'll be watching?? I guess I'll be getting downvoted as well because I'll be watching too. Strange indeed. 🤔

[dveio]

"I'll be watching, too. Probably, unless I won't watch it, although I wanna watch it, but maybe I don't. Possibly not. But who knows."

[TrueRican69]

It's maybe the Microsoft fanboy with they failing system

[thorstein]

It happens all the time here. When people post factual information with sources, they get downvotes.

Then if you're around long enough, you get fans that live to downvote anything you say. It's so weird.

I've even had to block a few people.

[1Victor]

Well I won’t only be watching I’ll be listening to too 🤣oh and those disagree are likely from a member with multiple accounts 🤦🏿

[TriniOutsider]

It better be good, keeping expectations low.

[crazyCoconuts]

It better be good, I expect it won't be good? Lol
So you're most likely going to be angry

[pwnmaster3000]

Take that expectation and bring it down by 2 more.

I have no faith in SoP anymore.

[Obscure_Observer]

"It better be good, keeping expectations low."

I´m hyped!

I´m expecting more Intergalactic goodness, Wolverine´s (Official) gameplay reveal and finally, Cory´s new game reveal/announcement! After all it´s being 7 years in development since God of War. I´m expecting a teaser at the very least.

Fingers crossed!

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

You're about to be extremely disappointed, then.

[Lightning77]

Intergalactic? That's said to be 2027 too far out and it certainly won't be at No State Of Play.

[Obscure_Observer]

@LiViNgLeGaCY

"You're about to be extremely disappointed, then."

We´ll see. Two leaked games so far. None are disappointing

@Lightning77

"Intergalactic? That's said to be 2027 too far out and it certainly won't be at No State Of Play."

Why not? It´s been three years since the last Playstation Showcase. After the backlash, I don´t think Sony will be hosting another Playstation Showcase anytime soon.

[Eonjay]

It would be nice to get more Intergalactic but that would just be extra. For sure we should get Ghost, Soros and Wolverine. That alone would be nice. Anything else would be nice. Some third party of course too so I would be surprised to see Battlefield or something from Microsoft like Hellblade 2. And folks keep saying RE9.

[S2Killinit]

No big reveals i think today

[RaidenBlack]

40 Minute+?!
hot damn
E3 started early with SoP.
Hope we get some 1st party goodness at the end as well.

[crazyCoconuts]

We're long overdue.

[ravens52]

Long overdue for one to actually come out. We've seen a few 1st party games.

[Lightning77]

If they keep the formula of revealing 1 first party game each SOP that'll be good. It's not a dump of 1st party stuff but it's better than nothing.

[RaidenBlack]

On top of Yotei, betting on something Wolverine and an update on Marathon.
And maybe Lego Horizon Switch 2 update? dunno ...

[VersusDMC]

The last one that was right before Summer games fest had a RE4 remake reveal so i hope RE9 reveal is here.

[Deathdeliverer]

Ghost of Yotei edition

[Ninver]

Remember to keep excitement at a low. I've been a ps fan since the og ps1 and I must say this gen has been underwhelming from Sony. A few heavy hitters here and there. Nothing like ps2 and ps3 era. We had uncharted 2 for christ sakes. The impact that game had was monumental! It's my favorite of the series. So well paced and action packed with a great story and comedy. I want that feeling back!

[ravens52]

Underwhelming amount of 1st party games yes. Other than that this generation has been very overwhelming. Too many games to even play. But they've looked out for their player base with 2nd party and 3rd party titles.

[Ninver]

As a family man my time is very limited so I prefer to play first party titles. That is where my frustration lies. I do agree with you in terms of 2nd and 3rd party carrying this generation.

[CrimsonWing69]

Please let RE9 be there, please let RE9 be there, please…

[thesoftware730]

Wolverine please!!!!

[Scissorman]

Going by Sony's recent pattern with these things, we can expect a first-party something at the very end.

[Obscure_Observer]

Cory´s new game!

[Eonjay]

Maybe but I would place a higher bet on the 2.5D GoW Greece game. I would love a GOW game in the vein of Vampire Survivors or Army of Ruin

[Obscure_Observer]

@Eon

"Maybe but I would place a higher bet on the 2.5D GoW Greece game."

I agree. Two games announcements from the same studio at the same event is highly unlikely.

"I would love a GOW game in the vein of Vampire Survivors or Army of Ruin.

That would be dope! But since rumors are calling it a Metroidvania type of game, I would expect something akin to the latest Prince of Persia game.

[neutralgamer1992]

So many rumored stated that there wasn't going to be one in 2025

[jznrpg]

Those rumors don’t make much sense. I figured at minimum we would get Yotei and possibly Death Stranding 2.

[Disccordia]

Rumours (mainly from Jeff Grubb) said there wouldn't be a showcase, just a state of play in June and that is what we've got.

[neutralgamer1992]

Oh ok thank you for the clarification

[Relientk77]

Awesome! I hope it's good. We shall see. I hope Sony has games to show off

[Eonjay]

We know ow of 2 for sure: Ghost and Soros. Those two games are gonna get a lot of fanfare by themselves. I've been a Housemarque fan before Sony bought them.

[Lightning77]

They'll be showing games from Creators across the globe. So probably several third party games and exclusive Chinese project games. Maybe that one more thing is Sony Santa Monica's New IP from Corey Barlog. I know I've been saying that for several years but it's been 7 years since GoW.

[Eonjay]

You arr right. Almost forgot about Phantom Blade. People are also saying RE9 is possible.

[red2tango]

Ready to be disappointed with no SOCOM announced.

[anast]

It's about to go off!

[1nsomniac]

It needs to be good. Switch 2 is totally overshadowing the PS5 at the moment due to the PS5 being so stagnant lately as well which hasn’t helped. I don’t think I’ve powered on my ps5 in probably 3 months. Last game I bought/played was Silent Hill. I still haven’t completed it either.

I think it was the PS5Pro that killed it for me. They've been on a really long spell of making really poor decisions and ideology. The whole thing put a bad taste in my mouth.

[Good-Smurf]

Why a premium optional console you have no interest of buying in the first place affects you?
None of that stuff you mentioned affect your will to play games you just making up excuses at this point.
Unless you're on top of every game and finished all the latest you have no shortage of games on PS5 not to mention many people still working on their PS4 backlog.
Switch 2 launch hype are mostly manufactured and controlled FOMO with two launch exclusives that costed $70+ anything else are Switch ports, you only have one exclusive to play with at launch if you're not into kart racing at $80+
I'd be shocked if Switch 2 didn't overshadow PS5 that entering its 5th year.
The honeymoon period is about be kicking in for Switch 2 for those buying it but I won't budge and won't support all their BS decisions.

[1nsomniac]

What!? First of all you tell me I’ve got no interest in the ps5pro. How do you know?? I bought a ps4pro alongside my ps4. But yes I haven’t upgraded my ps5 this time around…. Yet arguing with me while at the same time completely agreeing with what I'm saying.

… I agree with you, I think Nintendos current decisions are just as poor and their ideology is just as bad, if not maybe worse.

I’m not about to give Sony a free pass though like some of you! You fanboys need to get a grip and sort yourselves out. So wound up in your pathetic fanboyism that you’d rather argue with yourself to make yourselves feel better. It’s helluva Weird dude!

[TheGamersDojo]

It's been so long since we've gotten a Showcase... but, given the time of year this one is, and it's BEFORE all the others... there damn well better be something good tomorrow.

[Profchaos]

Wow June 5th is a busy gaming day for Aussies.
7am Sydney time state of play
Switch 2 launch day

[EmperorDalek]

Bugsnax 2 please

[Profchaos]

I'm reading the leaks and I think this is going to have a few gems in it

I think we will see
More ghost of yotei
The new god of war game (the metroidvania one)
Capcom with a new re game (maybe a VR mode)
Psvr2 should get some love

An update on the games we saw earlier this year like
Directive 8020
Shinobi
Terminator 2d
Darwin's paradox

And maybe just maybe Microsoft show up with gears reloaded

[Good-Smurf]

Probably shouldn't expect too much out of this, but they're being weirdly quiet announcing it this time meant that they either have some surprise at the end or just none at all and be another so-so State of Play.
It's 4 AM for me so another one not worth staying 'till early morning for.

[Retroman]

Let me guess Sony will show 15 minutes of games you don't want to buy out of 45 minutes showing. and it will be same shit you been playing since 2005 another wash, Rinse and repeat games.

[Eonjay]

If that's what you have decided it's gonna be then I think your perception is already set in stone and there is nothing that can make you think otherwise.

[Retroman]

You are Correct.
Nothing will change my mind and here's why

Sony has been making Same She-it since 2005 Military type Open World or multiplayer games, Open World RPG, Open World Racing games, FPS Open World Shooters.
see where I'm going with this??
Everything is Open World and that is why I said same She-it since 2005 nothing has changed Wash, Rinse and Repeat same Old games.
Slap on a New title but it is the "Same" Old game since 2005/2006 State of Play 2025 will not offer us anything New to Excite us to buy their New titles well at least not me. if it going to be another Wash, Rinse, Repeat game you seen before and played before.

[DazaMc]

10PM in the UK.

[MaximusPrime_]

I got an early rise tomorrow... I guess I'll check out here or on PS blog for news/trailers.

[MaximusPrime_]

Although unlikely, some rumours of Starfield might get announced..
