At least the Ninja Turtles stuff looked good.

 

[TheMan]

I would rate this a C+ it was alright. Those last 2 games are definitely coming to switch.

actually that would make a lot of sense. No knock on switch but both games looked budget-tier in terms of graphics, definitely not ps5/SeX level

 

[Dr Bass]

"Mediocrity"

Jesus christ, the hyperbole is to asinine levels.

Yeah, nothing will make the guy happy, no matter what is shown.

It's hilarious to see Xbox fanboys proclaiming everything MS does is pure gold while PS fanboys proclaim that everything Sony is doing is pure shite.

I guess Nintendo fanboys are off in the park looking for Pokemon.

 

[Clear]

Its funny. People bemoan stale, template AAA releases yet when they get shown trailers for lesser budgeted titles they act like they just got served a plate of steaming turds.

 

[jshackles]

What's the deal with that 3D version of wannabe-Triangle Strategy? From Square Enix no less?

Holy crap I need that Cowabunga Collection RIGHT NOW!

Probably my favorite announcement from this, and it was a 30 teaser...

 

[HTK]

Wasn't able to watch this, anyone got a bullet point list of what got announced ?

Yes.

- Returnal Co-Op
- Garbage Game 1
- Garbage Game 2
- Garbage Game 3
- Garbage Game 4
- Garbage Game 5

 

[jaysius]

At least the Ninja Turtles stuff looked good.

I mean it's a pile of old ROMS and they've already made an awesome remake of the Arcade game so I'm not sure what's super exciting about it.

I'm more excited for the new Turtles game.

 

[gow3isben]

And the best part?

These jokers thought this garbage would somehow take attention away from the Russia-Ukraine War

 

[TheTony316]

I think Sony needs a leadership change. Nothing else can fix this mediocrity. This is not the same company that used to produce incredible E3 and PSX shows, and won us over with AAA titles with incredible production values. These state of plays feel cheap and are full of trash I would never want to showcase on my system. Forspoken and Returnal DLC were the only decent games on the show. Everything else should never be FEATURED in a PLAYSTATION show.

You have to have some quality control. You have to have some pride in your system. You cannot keep putting out these mediocre titles that barely look as good as PS3 games when you are trying to showcase the future of Playstation. Quality over quantity used to be their motto. That is why we all became Sony fans. Not because of this trash.

I think I am done with these State of Plays. I've been fooled way too many times.

lol the hyperbole. Dude this was literally announced yesterday and they even said it's about japanese third party titles. Anyone who expected to see big first party titles went in with wrong expectations.

 

[Victor Omega]

anyone else though Dino Crisis? i want my hype back

 

[RAIDEN1]

There I was thinking they may have announced Metal Gear 6, Ridge Racer HD Collection....(bit like what you got with Wipeout Omega Collection..) and maybe a new uncharted game..or a spin off series..

 

[bosnianpie]

State of Plays feel so underwhelming. Just once it would be cool to get a decent surprise that would be something worth getting excited for.

 

[envyzeal]

The usual case of "that should've been a tweet and a blogpost"

 

[Danjin44]

New Valkyrie! And Diofield looks great!

I'm definitely keeping my eye on those two games. The amount of SRPG we are getting this year is crazy.

 

[Louay]

State of L. bye let me go laugh at PSG.

 

[Ristifer]

TMNT the saving grace.

 

[Saucy Papi]

I mean it's a pile of old ROMS and they've already made an awesome remake of the Arcade game so I'm not sure what's super exciting about it.

Hey, just trying to be positive... Otherwise, I have to admit that I just wasted 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

 

[Fake]

Put a poll on this thread. Gonna give hell.

 

[kevm3]

What happened to Japan? They used to be the kings of gaming. Valkyrie looks like a ps2 game...

 

[Anos Voldigoad]

Anyway my biggest disappointment is with SE keep on coming out with new games but still no FFXVI for us. Bummer

 

[Pagusas]

What happened to Japan? They used to be the kings of gaming. Valkyrie looks like a ps2 game...

I assume the A teams are working on FF16 and FF7r2. Konomi is dead, most of the population wants portable games (and I'm starting to wonder if Japan is over games as a culture?)

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Cross gen as far as the eye can see. What an embarrassing show. Meh.

 

[Valedix]

that was the shittiest state of play ever

sony:

 

[Shouta]

I was pretty happy with this State of Play. I've really missed B-tier games and Japan seems to be putting some time into them again this generation. DioField Chronicle looks like it could be fun. we haven't had a RTS style JRPG in ages. Getting a new Valkyrie game even if it's not Profile makes me happy and I'll end up playing it just for that, lol.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol the hyperbole. Dude this was literally announced yesterday and they even said it's about japanese third party titles. Anyone who expected to see big first party titles went in with wrong expectations.

Where did I say the conference needed Sony first party games?

Japan has some of the best devs in the business and aside from Forspoken, they didnt have a single AAA Japanese game featured at the show.

If Sony couldnt get Final Fantasy 16, FF7-2, RE4make, Death Stranding 2 or RE9 then they should simply say, hey sorry we got nothing. Dont waste out time with this shit.

 

[anthony2690]

Its funny. People bemoan stale, template AAA releases yet when they get shown trailers for lesser budgeted titles they act like they just got served a plate of steaming turds.

I think if the smaller budget titles look great people will be interested:
Ie: Sifu, Deaths Door, Tunic, Kena, Little Devil, Stray, Ascent, Ori etc.

 

[SSfox]

Sony doesn't even know what a good Japanese game look like.

Honestly they should simply have tweeted those games, no need for SOP.

 

[Midn1ght]

Trek to Yomi and Returnal DLC looked interesting.

Also, Gundam Evolution Trailer:

 

[Elios83]

Many great games for me.
Forspoken, Tokyo Ghostwire, Trek To Yomi, the strategic RPG that looks like FF Tactics 2 all had great trailers.
They also stated that an other SoP is coming soon.

 

[TheMan]

All in all just a couple of lukewarm titles in a sea of clogged toilet water at a chili festival. I think Sony would have been better off just not doing this.

 

[zeorhymer]

Overall

 

[Labadal]

I wanted a few jrpgs, and I got what I hoped for.

 

[Anos Voldigoad]

The best state of play was the GT7 one. I know that was a one off but was hoping for that kind of quality preview moving forward.

 

[Nankatsu]

anyone else though Dino Crisis? i want my hype back

I though I was watching Anthem 2 reveal for a second there.

 

[TGO]

What happened to Japan? They used to be the kings of gaming. Valkyrie looks like a ps2 game...

And that's running in HD

 

[ManaByte]

Everyone watch this, it'll scrub the disappointment from your retinas.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

SHOW GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH AND GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH 2 YOU COWARDS

 

[fart town usa]

Cowabunga Collection looks great. Hopefully TMNT III is on there, I think I saw the box but not sure.

Online coop, that'd be the shit.

 

[ANDS]

FF: Origins looks like it might be good (enjoyed the demo I played like a year ago or so) and more RETURNAL means I need to beat the game. A new VP is also welcome news. Overall, some interesting titles on showcase.

And the best part?

These jokers thought this garbage would somehow take attention away from the Russia-Ukraine War

Or. . .they wanted to wait for the initial shock of the Russian invasion to "tamp" down. But sure, believe a gaming company thought that a 20 minute stream would attract the attention of the world over one country invading another.

The hoops some of you go through.

 

[Gloomnivore]

Today has been about F-Zero X and old TMNT games. 2022 is just the best.

 

[Sega Orphan]

That was......terrible

 

[sendit]

lol the hyperbole. Dude this was literally announced yesterday and they even said it's about japanese third party titles. Anyone who expected to see big first party titles went in with wrong expectations.

Leave him alone, he has `been fooled way too many times` even though Sony has been completely transparent on what they're showing.

 

[Mossybrew]

I though I was watching Anthem 2 reveal for a second there.

Yeah major Anthem vibes with that one. All those little dinos just pouring out was pretty funny tho.

 

[kevm3]

And that's running in HD

This might actually look better than what was shown. At least it doesn't have dull, muted colors.

 

[Barakov]

Outside of a couple of games shown this State of Play was pretty good. I guess I've learned to temper my expectations when it comes this stuff.

 

[Fake]

SHOW GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH AND GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH 2 YOU COWARDS

You joke, but this State of Play was so bad that Goodbye Volcano would be acceptable just for fun.

 

[Sub_Level]

Got Trails from Zero and Soul Hackers 2 coming to Playstation, so I'm already set for weebshit.

Valkyrie game miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be ok. We'll see.

 

[bender]

Everyone watch this, it'll scrub the disappointment from your retinas.

Is this the Major Payne break-a-finger remedy to make you forget about the pain of an upset stomach?

 

[cormack12]

 

[sircaw]

Everyone watch this, it'll scrub the disappointment from your retinas.

I see dark Raiden at 1:15
