They told everyone to not expect sequels of their big selling franchises, that's it.
They've already published more games by this point of the year than they did in early 2021, 2022 and 2023.

This is true.

No they don't. What? Marvel Studios has nothing to do with it. There's an argument that they announced it to prevent leaks (lol), but how doesn't that apply to everything else.

Again, Physint, anyone?

So you had one example. Not great.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

It shouldn't be. You need to keep reasonable pressure on studios. Otherwise, you wind up like Ninja Theory.

That’s not what is being discussed. Just because you reveal later doesn’t mean there’s no ongoing oversight

 

[Topher]

This is so fucking stupid. Just say it, Sony. Whatever it is.

state of play

 

[mitch1971]

It will be interesting to see what will be written at the end of trailers played at the xbox showcase : 'Available on...'

 

[THE DUCK]

If this happens it's going to leave me in a bad position......getting the game on gamepass or paying for it and getting adaptive triggers.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

It will be interesting to see what will be written at the end of trailers played at the xbox showcase : 'Available on...'

It will only be labeled for Xbox at the show. Afterwards you can find out online what other platforms it will come to. Playstation does the same thing for multiplatform games

 

[mayham2199]

As a man with a giant-ass backlog (Rise of Ronin, Helldivers 2 recent battle passes, Infinite Wealth and FF7RR alone will send me back 300+ hours) I always come here to read the rage about NO GAMES.

Personally, I have ample problem with time, not output.

I’m literally just now playing Spider-Man 2. My backlog is huge.

 

[Jerm411]

XBox continues to confuse me….they're going 3rd party (anyone can see this) yet they wanna push more hardware…ok? Who's buying it? Seems like a lot of wasted time and $$, esp. when you look at their hardware sales right now while there's still exclusives.

So dumb lol.

 

[demigod]

Xbox gota give PS some games as we be lacking this yr in PS land.

I’ve bought Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth this year. Which xbox games did you buy this year?

You do realize MS revealed Minecraft Legends at a Showcase and didn't hold back mentioning PlayStation and Switch right there, correct?

At this point there's no reason to pretend they're doing one thing when they're really doing the opposite. The cat's out of the bag. Might as well be transparent and list the platforms at their own event, it's the only way the biggest diehards will "get used" to their multiplatform future.

 

[bitbydeath]

Genuinely go to sleep if you're a Playstation-only person this year. They couldn't have made it more explicit that they have nothing for you if they tried. Put some eye and ear drops in the appropriate orifices.

PlayStation has been having one of its best years gaming wise in a long while, you need to wake up!

I think the difference is Minecraft has always been multiplat. Xbox has a live fan zone event going on with influencers for their upcoming showcase.. It may be seen as a slap in the face if they bring up other consoles. You could be right though

 

[bitbydeath]

Yeah. The way they're doing things now is pretty predictable.

Next years focus will be

Fairgame
Marathon
Venom
Death Stranding 2
Ghost 2
Whatever partner games they have

And then two games further out (2026) which will be Wolverine. Possibly SSM, ND, or maybe Bend, but no way in hell we're seeing something from more than one. Wouldn't be suprised if we get none of them.

I’m sure we’ll see Venom at some point this year as it is due out next year.

Would be even more of a slap if they mention ports from existing games, taking up their conference time talking about PlayStation specific releases.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I have seen the damage control squad on twitter pushing hard that Doom is going to be 20 USD on Xbox and 70 on PS5.

Xbox influencers have to somehow turn it into good news. For many, their livelihoods depend on it. I'm excited to watch the extreme tribalism burn to the ground

 

[DavJay]

If PS is getting doom day 1, I expect the next elder scroll too

 

[Wooxsvan]

state of Play...

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

I'll stick to the best place to play, which is on PS.

Sure thing gramps.

 

[sachos]

State of Play? Noooo, i want a Showcase! I wish they would still do live events, 2016 will never be matched again doesnt it?

 

[Dr. Claus]

State of Play? Noooo, i want a Showcase! I wish they would still do live events, 2016 will never be matched again doesnt it?

2015 you mean? That was the year of Dreams.

Sony has steadily gone downhill since 2016 when they moved HQs to Cali and got a full frontal lobotomy.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

New Doom

 

[GHound]

bookmarked

Go ahead. I'm certainly not going to complain about more games being announced unless it's GaaS or a Horizon remake.

 

[sachos]

2015 was awesome too yeah. E3 2016 was the insane GoW opening, RE7 demo. It also had PSX 2016 with the TLoU2 teaser trailer. I still rewatch those shows from time to time lol

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Cheapest place to play will be xbox

Not for me.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Not for me.

Didn't realize that you could get the game for less than $10.

I'm jelly.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Didn't realize that you could get the game for less than $10.

I'm jelly.

Nobody gets the game for that price.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Nobody gets the game for that price.

Game pass console members do.

$10.99 for 1 month access to the upcoming doom

That only works for the few people that already have an Xbox, otherwise you’re looking at $310.99

Or $17 for cloud gaming on any web browser or smart TV.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Best place to play will still be on PS.

You spelt PC wrong there friend.

 

[Bojanglez]

Didn't MS always say that franchises with established fanbases on PS would continue to come to PS? So this isn't really anything special.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

You spelt PC wrong there friend.

Can’t wait to play the new Doom on my 8-year old PC.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Didn't MS always say that franchises with established fanbases on PS would continue to come to PS? So this isn't really anything special.

basically everything from Bethesda and Activision

I think the drama is if Xbox is going to be explicit about being a third party publisher.

the messaging is going to be very interesting, because there are some people that still have faith

 

[Raven117]

because there are some people that still have faith

Fools

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Just thinking:

Doom: The Dark Ages sounds to me like … Quake?
Will this be how they tie in the Quake Universe with Doom?

 

[DryvBy]

MS, leave id alone please. Just please.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Game pass console members do.

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/xbox-game-pass-for-console/CFQ7TTC0K6L8

You aren't getting it.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Let's see...

Final Fantasy 9 Remake
Kingdom Hearts 4
Dragon Quest 12

 

[ViciousAgenda]

This I would have expected but I still don't believe forza, gears or halo are being ported.

 

[SNPlayen]

Maybe the PS show case is actually the Xbox one in June.

 

[bitbydeath]

Or $17 for cloud gaming on any web browser or smart TV.

 

[midnightAI]

This is so fucking stupid. Just say it, Sony. Whatever it is.

You are assuming that Sony reacts to every rumour out there and so must reveal a State of Play/Showcase, the only reason you are impatient is because Grubby Grubb said it was this month, but Sony doesn't work to fit in with his timescales.

 

[Hudo]

Let's see the absolute state that they're in...

 

[DAHGAMING]

I’ve bought Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth this year. Which xbox games did you buy this year?

None as there all on gamepass day one, the best deal in gaming and I get to play them on the most powerfull console in the world, the Microsoft Xbox Series X .

 

[Killjoy-NL]

So that leaker from January is still PERFECTLY correct with his leak 5 months ago? That's crazy!

What was the leak?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Genuinely go to sleep if you're a Playstation-only person this year. They couldn't have made it more explicit that they have nothing for you if they tried. Put some eye and ear drops in the appropriate orifices.

I'm for sure gonna sleep on Doom, that much is certain.

 

[Negotiator101]

It's great existing franchise titles are coming to PS day 1 as it should be. As for PS only a SOP? No summer showcase is absolutely awful and really does show how badly run the first-party studio's have been this generation. My PS4 Pro is still used for the odd older classic, but still no reason to upgrade to a PS5 or the PS5 PRO when it arrives.

When the supposed dying Xbox brand is the only one creating any excitement or hype for the industry what does that tell you?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

That Sony studios are doing their job behind the scenes and Sony doesn't have to scream at the market to let people know they still exist like their dying competitor does.
