Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The ROG Xbox Ally is another step towards Team Xbox’s 'Play Anywhere' strategy, and perfectly embodies the company’s future and how we’re all going to be playing an 'Xbox' in the future."
The funny thing about Xbox going more PC-like is that I’ve been saying this for over a decade and finally seeing it come to fruition. People use to hate the idea, but now are embracing it, and all I want is to be put on the payroll lol.
On a serious note, I think this is the best route going forward for MS. They don’t have to get out of the hardware game altogether. They can make their home console $300 entry & $600 premium home consoles and from there partner with other hardware makers for anything beyond that. Focus on being a publisher and creating a strong OS / Cloud option for other devices like desktop, handheld PCs, streaming devices, etc…
I honestly think they should also look into NVIDIA as well, with NVIDIA starting to make their own CPUs. Their CPU is already on par with AMDs best laptop CPUs of the previous/current generation which is more than enough, and a RTX 5000 / 6000 laptop GPU hybrid (DLSS 4 / DLSS5) could do wonders for them, and bring some much needed diversity back to console hardware.

I saw this years ago. I don't see how it took this long for people actually close to the industry.
"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.
Today, SCS Software officially announced Project Coaches, the next evolution for Euro Truck Simulator 2, adding buses to the game.
I hope it has the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster...and as usual from me before a state of play ..a new Ridge Racer or Burnout and a new unannounced fighting game.
But much more likely are a new Borderlands 4 trailer, Updates for existing games ..updates for upcoming games and 1-3 more Remasters of games released in the last 5-10 years already. (sigh)
Really looking forward to Sony's State of Play. It's always exciting to see what surprises might be in store, even though expectations should probably be kept in check.
A lot of Sony’s major first- and second-party studios are likely still deep in development. Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Insomniac are working on known projects, so it's probably too early for any big reveals from them. Bend and Bluepoint recently scrapped their live-service titles, so we likely won’t hear from them just yet either. And it’s probably still too soon for another Gran Turismo update.
That said, there’s still hope for some exciting announcements. I'd love to see some legacy content finally make its way to current platforms. Imagine an Uncharted Trilogy PC port, a God of War Collection, or even a MotorStorm Collection—that would be incredible, even though this newer version of Sony seems more focused on remakes of recent titles rather than digging into their deep backlog.
A remastered inFamous Collection would be amazing too—those games being stuck on PS3 is just a shame. And hey, if we're dreaming, a Jak and Daxter or Sly Cooper remake would be a dream come true… but let's be honest, the chances feel slim.
Maybe we'll get a glimpse at Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2—that trailer would be a big win. And fingers crossed that Sony Santa Monica is ready to show something, even just a teaser.
Either way, hoping for some surprises. It's not always about huge reveals—sometimes a well-curated throwback collection can steal the show. Let’s see what happens
Fingers crossed for FF9 Tactics Remake (or Remaster), FF9 Remake, and RE9! Those get dropped I will be jazz hands for the rest of the day.
It's that time. Percentage of games releasing from each studio.
Bend Studios: recently cancelled LS game it'll be awhile until we see anything from them. 0% they'll be at the show
Blue Point: also had a cancelled LS game. Said to be Gow LS inspired project. 0% chance theyll show up.
Insomniac Games: Wolverine is in the works. Haven't had no update since the September 2021 reveal. Release date 2026. 80% chance we'll see it. It's been too long.
Naughty Dog: Intergalactic is there main project said to release in 2027. Second project might be Uncharted related. Started in 2022.
2% they show up. That 2% is updates to the remaster and what not, small updates etc.
San Diego Studio: MLB every year. 0% chance they don't show up to any shows.
Santa Monica. Last game was GoW 2022 seperate from Corey Barlogs Main game. 80% chance it'll show up as that last thing to close the show.
Haven Studios: Fairgames. 10% chance it'll show up. With Jades departure and play tests being underwhelming I think they're gonna let this game sit for awhile.
Media Molecule: last game was Dreams in 2020. They're making a new Ip have been MIA. 50% chance they'll show up. It's been a good while so I'm 50/50.
Firesprite: they were doing Twisted Metal LS that got cancelled and apparently another game but who knows if they're still working on it or it's a real project. 1% they'll show up.
House Marque: Yes I think Saros will be shown off. 90% chance.
Polyphony: nothing new they release a new GT every gen. 5% maybe updates but I doubt it.
Team Asobi: yes New Astro updates. 95% chance.
Bungie: Marathon. I'll say no, with all the controversy and apparently sony canceled paid promotions and advertisement. 5% theyll show up. If they do there's nothing they cab show that'll generate excitement right now.
Sucker Punch. 100% Ghost Of Yotei gameplay trailer and ready for release on October 2.
Guerrilla Games Horizon 3 did to be a 2027 game. 0% It's not time yet.
Oof..new Lumines..now thats an unexpected pretty cool start.
