Hate to be a Debbie downer but I expect ZERO interesting announcements from this state of play. Just nonsense filler as always and a deathloop trailer. Just give us VRR and GTFO Soooooony.

It will most certainly be dominated by Ghostwire. Part of the exclusivity is no doubt based on Sony promotion, and the game is about to be released.
 
Probably be some ghostwire tokyo stuff, maybe an indie or two, and stuff about the gta 5 deal/upgrade..maybe 1 or 2 other things but thats all im expecting personally
Ghostwire Tokyo had a 20 minute dedicated SoP back in February. Bethesda is also not a Japanese publisher. Tango Gameworks is a Japanse developer, not publisher. This would be a waste of times so i doubt it.

My pet rabbit was socializing with another pet rabbit the other day who happened to be owned by someone up top at sony. My pet rabbit said that Bloodborne remastered is getting announced tomorrow. I am so excited.

I'm thinking Final Fantasy XVI might be there... But what I would REALLY love to see being highlighted in a PlayStation event is Dragon Quest XII

Availability for the starlight blue ps5 covers?
A 4K remaster of Powerstone 1 & 2?
Vanillaware’s Muramasa being ported to PS5?
An update on VRR and 8K support?

I want to be wrong so, so bad - but I am sticking to my prediction from the news over the weekend about this SoP, and I don't think anything great will be shown here.

Logically, 20 minutes isn't big enough for a huge splash or multiple splash announcements certainly.

Prepare to be disappointed if you have high hopes, IMO. I want to be wrong, and hope I am! Haha.

And then all they do is a 20 min presentation on Knack 3. Id say thats more plausible.

I think it seems unlikely we'll see FFXVI yet but I wonder if we'll get an announcement about the FFI-VI Pixel Remasters finally coming to consoles?

More realistically

0-15 minutes: Deathloop DLC

16-18 minutes: GoW Ragnarok Trailer with an official window of Holiday 2023 (late seasonal window allowing for further opportunity to slip to early 2024).

19-20 minutes: Jim Ryan coming out and thanking us for giving them money and assuring us they won't make any acquisitions of note and that we'll continue to have a slower 1st party output than we did for PS4 and PS3.

In 1 year and 5 month we have gotten:

Spider Man: Miles Morales
Astro's Playroom
Returnal
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Destruction Allstars
Demon Souls
Sackboy: A Big adventure
Horizon: Forbidden West
Gran Turismo 7

Director cut of Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding.

We also have exclusive games like FFVII Remake, Kena etc.

It has been slooooow..

I platinumed bloodborne again a few weeks ago....did all the DLC. Spent around 70 hours in it, maybe more.

The game is absolutely brilliant, but we dont need a remaster we just need a PC version and a patch. Also, after Elden Ring I wouldn't put the money into remastering it. Nothing will compare to that now.
 
30 minutes for GT7 alone but only 20 for new game announcements? Come on sony. I was expecting a showcase too. Not a short state of play.

I'm with you up to the Dino Crisis remake. More likely it'll be Dragons Dogma 2. Beside that, a realistic prediction that I'm sure will happen. You must be an insider.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space

People keep saying this, but you can fit a lot of new game teasers into 20 minutes. Marvel's Wolverine needed 45 seconds. Expect games to show up that you won't be playing for 2+ years.

The Nintendo Directs with 25 games are like 45 to 50 minutes long. If they use this to explain the new Subscription Service (I doubt they will although its coming very soon) we may not see more than 5 games.

IMO I'm guessing 8-10 games max.

- Final Fantasy Origin Demo that we already know is on PSN.
- FF16.
- Forspoken.
- Some sort of FF retro thing.
- Street Fighter 6.
- Something Resident Evil.
- Persona 4 Golden.
- GTA5.
- Abandoned Update is scheduled for 3/10 so that.

-Ghostwire tokyo
-Stray
-Little Devil Inside
-Final Fantasy Origins final trailer
-GTA 5 exclusive content

Then probably a new reveal and a release date for something. I wouldn't be getting my hopes up

I really hope they have something decent, something new and exciting to show. outside of Horizon and GT7 walkthroughs, the SOP are mediocre. It’s stuff that they could easily just put on their YouTube channel. (Outside of Project Eden) I want to see more of that.

Release date for Uncharted on PC maybe?

Anything from Team ASOBI would be great too :)

I want to be optimistic, but the state of plays have been pretty abysmal. I want to see them announce blood borne remaster, I want to see them announce MGS, and more but I’m not sure. I am kinda expecting forspoken, ghostwrire, maybe some Japanese indies. Sf6, maybe r8 dlc. Nothing crazy. I hope I’m wrong tho.
