lol I thought it was funny how he asked who would go buy a PS5 and you replied with a bunch of games that are also coming out on PS4. ;pWe're heading into blockbuster season where the big annual releases suck most of the air out of the room, and for the new year they've already announced Horizon, GoW, and Gran Turismo. They are basically set til 2023 already.
But the real question is who would buy a PS5 based on that show, and he's got a valid point. They are marketing playstation with these State of Plays. The goal is to make you buy a PS5. Why would anyone buy a PS5 to play these indie games? It's a waste of marketing dollars. It's a waste of everyone's time. And it hurts the brand and the product. Anyone who watches this show randomly on youtube will look at this thing and wonder just where are the big games? Not everyone knows they had an event last month where they had those big hitters. sort of. These state of plays typically end up on the trending page, and as a commercial for the PS5, this is a pretty shit one.Who in there right mind would go out and buy a PS5 on the basis of that show?
Sony has been in this industry long enough to understand what their fanbase want to see. Doing events like today only puts these games in a negative light and disappointment their fan base.
lol screw off mate, the world doesn't revolve around us core video game enthusiasts.Sony has been in this industry long enough to understand what their fanbase want to see. Doing events like today only puts these games in a negative light and disappointment their fan base.
They could have released a blog post for this instead of holding a live event and setting themselves up for unnecessary blowback.
Who is tuning into a live PS event to watch trailers for Bugsnax DLC and Five Nights at Freddy? lol
Who is saying its trash? They are wrong.now it's trash
What metrics are you using to formulate that opinion? The State of Play is getting way more likes than dislikes on multiple streams and it's keeping the PlayStation name in the conversation. It's also giving a ton of exposure to smaller 3rd party titles which keeps Sony is good graces with developers. Sonys fanbase is much more than the AAA exclusives or bust crowd.
Go read the comments from the showcase video. It is overwhelmingly negative including the feedback in this forum and on social media.lol screw off mate, the world doesn't revolve around us core video game enthusiasts.
Sony's brand encompasses ALL ages.
Us fucks who are above the age of 20 and beyond should shut the front door and zip our mouths every now and then to let Sony cater to their other audiences that are not spending a single minute of their time in a gaming forum, and catching up on the latest gaming news.
Negative light my ass, you overgrown self-entitled man child.
Yeah, because i'm about to see 6 year olds on twitter posting about this.Go read the comments from the showcase video. It is overwhelmingly negative including the feedback in this forum and on social media.
Age has nothing to do with it, take your PS hat off and stop defending mediocrity. Sony does not have you on the payroll.
They finally managed to put a worse shoe than even most of Nintendo’s directs.This was the worst show yet with that among us cringe leading the way
Yeah, because i'm about to see 6 year olds on twitter posting about this.
I am not saying that this was an amazing State of Play, it's total shit except for one game, but i'm not sitting here going "aw man, screw Sony for this" because I don't think there was any hype behind it, they never said for us to expect big announcements, and it's obvious this State of Play is catering towards their younger demographic.
I mean, come on, Five Nights at Freddy's? Bugsnax? This was most certainly not geared to us forum dwelling gaming enthusiasts and not once was it marketing and hyped up to be so.
Therefore, if I were to put those facts together, moaning and groaning over today's state of play is the equivalent of being a child and complaining over something you were never promised.
Stealing from the KFC Gaming Twitter account is low
Balancing act. I don't think people would be as vocal in their disappointment had this been a section in a bigger State of Play rather than its own show.Gamers: Sony plays it too safe and hates indies
Sony: here's an indie showcase
Gamers: stop wasting our time with this shit
No problem, it's out since months on Xbox so there are lots of videos on Youtube.Death's Door looks pretty damn cool. I want to see more.
What games interested you on the Xbox Series X in the 1st year if you don't mind me askingThis is why I bought a PS5 wooooohoooooo
No I didn't and won't. Sony is yet to convince me why their PS5 is worth all the trouble and all that money. Xbox has been doing a better job at that but I'm not in a hurry. 1 year Sony, almost 1 damn year and not a game that sells me on the PS5.
Or maybe they are just honest opinions?I can't tell if this is entitlement or just run away cynical nature
Plenty of those tooOr maybe they are just honest opinions?
Not exactly first year, but at least Halo is going to launch. I don’t have an Xbox that’s why I say that. And Xbox at least showed some future titles like Avowed, TES, Starfield and all that.What games interested you on the Xbox Series X in the 1st year if you don't mind me asking

This showcase will not include updates on the next God of War, Horizon Forbidden West or the next generation of PlayStation VR. Stay tuned throughout the summer though, as we’ll have more updates soon.
Profit before anything seems to be the motive at sony now. I've never been less hyped to get a new system than now. What's really the incentive to get a ps5 when they are releasing most of the games as cross gen or on pc?Ending the show on a 6 year old indie PC game. Quite incredible whats happened to Playstation lately. Being a PS fan nowadays is like being in a marriage thats destined to fail. You keep holding on hoping things will change, and you will be back to how things used to be before you got married, but day after day, the disappointment builds up and things only keep getting worse.
Maybe it's unfair to expect so much from these state plays, but the Sony of old wouldve never even held a show like this. They used to care about quality over quantity. They took pride in these shows and blowing people away. Hell, they pretty much started the whole 'React to video game trailers' trend on youtube. Before that, the only reaction videos we got were for the Red Wedding or the ending of certain games. Sony knew trailers and game demos during conferences were their own art form.
You are defending a show which was rated D or worse by 80% of the people in this thread, and you have the balls to call other people wrong headed.This is quite possibly the most wrong-headed post I've come across in a long, long time. Like, EVERYTHING about it is just nonsense.
Its based on a succession of false suppositions, every one of which can be effortlessly disproved or discarded.
Here goes, briefly as possible.
How can a PS5 game being also on PS4 lower its "value" when its going to be available to a wider audience?
Not forgetting PS5 versions are better by default because there's more power, same principle as upgrading your PC CPU or GPU. If one's "worthless" than both are!
The show was never presented as targeted at PS5. Its also a 15-20 min quarterly format, not a big annual blowout of the future of Playstation.
"State of Play" suggests *what is*, not what's in the future after all!
Why would people buy a PS5 for indie games? Most wouldn't solely, but then the proposition is the Horizons, GoWs, and GT's *PLUS* indie stuff that you might find exciting.
I could go on, but this stuff is so obvious it feels redundant pointing out beyond the basic, NOT EVERYTHING IS FOR YOU.
Sony doesn’t need to market the PS5 crazily like that right now tho.lol I thought it was funny how he asked who would go buy a PS5 and you replied with a bunch of games that are also coming out on PS4. ;p
