I'm confused..

Has Sony and Nintendo worked together since the mid 90's?

Are the two Japanese giants venturing into becoming allies against the western consolidation (Xbox/Bethesda/Activision Blizzard)?

It's not too far fetched when thinking about how massive Xbox will be in the next 5 years.

Ehhh...They're simply creating a bit of hype given that both the Direct and the SOP are scheduled for tomorrow. Stop seeing patterns everywhere...

What happened to the 25 new first party games? How can they literally wait a year between shows and show up with a show focused on last gen Japanese, PS4 and VR games? What exactly is Herman doing with his first party studios? Get him the fuck outta there. This is just as poor as Matty Booty running the xbox first party division to the ground.

I hate Herman too. He's the one that spearheaded the decision to make Sonys best games cross gen.

WTF can you show in 20 minutes anyway? A bunch of CG trailers and cutscene reveals like last year? Even that was 40 minutes.

If I see a single non Sony game at the show, a single indie, a single cross gen game, or a single CG trailer, im done. In the Sony is doomed thread, i said Sony has to bring a bunch of next gen games this year's showcase after taking E3 off and they are showing up with a 20 minute state of play with ps4, japanese and vr games instead of a true next gen showcase. This is them jerking us around.

Pretty sure you will get nothing but non Sony games and indies and cross-gen (hopefully no CG trailers though.) This is a State of Play, not Showcase or Future of PlayStation. Maybe they'll show something they're publishing, but it'll mostly be Capcom and Konami and Square and Bokeh and Q-Games and other Japanese studios, as well as Asian and European/Western games with an appeal to the Japanese audience, in time for TGS. (SoP simulcasts almost identically in all territories, thus the purposefully timed content.)

I don't know why they won't book a Showcase/FoP (well, I kind of get it, looking at their production slate; I don't get why they didn't do a proper State of Play Special for TLoU1 and still haven't done one for God of War Ragnarok yet, though?,) but if that's what you are waiting for or expecting, know right now that this will not be it.

I hope we get to see a new PLAYSTATION STUDIO game. And final price for psvr2 and launch date.

Let's hope there are no leaks. Or I will curse them leakers!!
Not really but please do not leak cool stuff.

Japanese partners? Theres more like it, more Japan please!

I know State of Plays are mostly mediocres at best, but I think this time it might be different.

It would have been nice if Polyphony Digital had been on this already, working with Insomniac or somebody in the shared teams to get this done. It's unfortunate that Forza will lap them on this... eventually. (Well, unfortunate from the PS perspective; it's great if you love Forza. But then, as Yurinka pointed out, GT7 is out and you can go play it right now, while Forza isn't out for another half-year still and doesn't yet even have a release date.)

RT is gamplay would have been /will be a tall order to accomplish, and mostly it would have been just for bragging rights and comparison's sake rather than an actually transformative experience, but looking at how Turn 10 is carefully applying limited yet effective use of RT (DigitalFoundary breaks it down from the video evidence), I feel like it could have been extended into gameplay in GT7. I keep expecting one of these patches to announce that it is coming, but realistically, it's waiting in vain and not actually going to happen.

Kudos to Turn 10 for figuring out how to pull it off. We'll see how well that turns out when it gets here.

You can thank their rediculous decision to make this cross gen for that. What's worse is they advertised this game for well over a year as "ps5 exclusive". Multiple fucking trailers too.
Click to expand...

One trailer, I believe.

But also, you can apply RT to a cross-gen game. In fact, I believe that every single major game on the market which has significant RT features right now is cross-gen.
(By this list of games with ray-tracing features, it looks like the only next-gen exclusive game with RT is... The Medium.)

The original introductory trailer (actually a large gameplay session was included in that too) did not have RT, and the game was never promised to have in-gameplay RT, neither before nor after the PS4 version was announced. Regardless of whenever it was that GT7 changed from PS5-exclusive to cross-gen game (assuming a port wasn't always planned, which depends on which reports you believe,) nothing changed in what the public saw of the actual game. The fact is that the 2020 trailer had the same general effects quality and level of detail in the 2020 sample race (when we were told it was next-gen exclusive) as when it released in 2022 on both PS4&PS5. If you looked at that trailer in 2020 and screamed, "Wow, now that is next-gen!" but then changed your mind when you heard that the game was cross-gen, that's on you; the video never changed.

Did I just see people complain about Japanese games?

Also I have a feeling we won't see Final Fantasy XVI.
They literally had that one on their last State of Play...and they are so secretive about that one.

I'd bet more on Forspoken, possibly something Silent Hill related, VR2 and Resident Evil, maybe Death Stranding 2? Kojima was editing a trailer a few weeks ago. Also Persona 6 could be a possibility.

We'll see.
 
Silent Hill or Resident Evil 4 gameplay with the 1st look at PSVR 2 mode?

Edit: Silent Hill isn't happening lol probably not RE either

As always out of nowhere and the twitter insiders are clueless :messenger_tears_of_joy:
It's good that it's focused just on Japanese games.
It means there's more coming including God of War at the very least.
Predictions...ummm something Final Fantasy, something Yakuza, something Capcom including RE: Village for PSVR2.
Huge surprises would be SH and something Persona but it's better not to expect much.

Lool. Honestly there's no anger.

There's pity. I pity the fact that you had to construct the image of an insider. Providing fake dissertations of non existent next gen games on a message board, to people who don't give a fuck… just for e-points…

I pity the fact that you think someone who does what I do for a living would need you or anyone else's validation. I'll just validate myself all the way to the bank. You could literally do a google search and validate everything I said about any game for yourself. But you would rather pity the man who writes and plays on screen with celebs for a living ? Gotta love Gaf. How's this validate my resume and see who I've worked for then pity yourself .

I'd pay to see final fantasy tactics remake. Literally.
 
Some are saying there will be PC and mobile stuff at the state of lol.

It's only 20 minutes apparently so that's not much. Assuming that ends up being true.

Sony and Nintendo spoiling us. I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be a very good day for gamers (but we should still keep expectations realistic).

No way man sonys gonna give us that proper fat princess sequel , Wipeout, and Tokyo jungle 2022 and Nintendo mach rider 2, f zero z and eternaler darkness
 
That timezone is always weird. I have never seen them schedule conference like Microsoft time. They only care about first world countries.
 
My expectations are low even though the last State of Play was pretty good and was one of my favorite State of Plays so far(and funny enough, one of the best games showcases this year even though it's not THE showcase we're looking for when it comes to PlayStation).
