Prepare????
An announcement to prepare without a date?
Sony following Phil and Aaron’s lead?
Good to have it confirmed but everyone wants to see the damn game in action

It helps when you’ve actually earned the benefit of the doubt from consumers lol, they launched like 3 games in 6 months

Yeah I’m not doubting they’ll deliver
But we haven’t had a true PlayStation first party showcase in over a year

It's saying prepare for more 2023 announcements, not prepare for Spiderman 2 specifically.

They're sharing messages from several of their studios and partners. This one is just being highlighted from the overall article. They usually do these at the end of the year for the blog.

Weird that there arent more first party games in that blog post. Is there a chance that the horizon vr game, the dlc, and spidey will be the only new 1st party stuff next year? Outside of ports to pc of course.
Either way, hyped as fuck, the first game rules. I just hope they removed the stealth sequences and made the open world less ubisofty

Show dont tell. Show the damn game if you are about to release it in 10 months.
No one is buying their empty promises after they delayed GOW, Horizon, and GT7 by a year.

Last time phil announced a hard date, it got delayed by possibly half a year (even thats in question because they still have not given it a new date.)

well yeah. Did anyone really believe that after shipping games in 2022, SSM, GG, PD and ND would turn around and ship brand new games in 2023?
2024 is probably not looking too hot either. If they had any games other than Wolverine and Death Stranding 2 that are 2 years away, they wouldve been announced by now.
It's possible they release a remake like TLOU Part one to fill in the gap. We know Horizon MP and Remaster are in dev so that could be their fill in game next year. MGS remake could be on the cards for a quick reveal and release like TLOU but a full game reveal and release? Doubtful after Sony revealed Spiderman 2, Wolverine, Horizon, GOW, GT7 and DS2 a good 2+ year before their eventual release.
Quite frankly, Im surprised we havent seen any of their fancy GaaS games. Maybe they are all in development hell. Making CoD and Fortnite killer isnt easy and they were expecting 10 of those 12 games to fail anyway. Shouldve just invested in single player games they are good at instead. If Spiderman 2 does indeed come out in fall 2023, they wouldve gone 2.5 years since Ratchet in June 2021 without a true next gen game. Absolutely insane. How herman still has a job as Sony first party head is beyond me. Shit tier first party studio management.

At least with Sony they have a verified track record of delivering on the promises. Maybe if the announcement were earlier in the month, we could've gotten a taste of gameplay, but alas.
We might be getting some event in the first couple months of 2023, I'm thinking another State of Play.
Absolutely. But it is still nice to see them comment on being on track less than a year out. Any official assurance is better than none after 3 years of constant delays.

Blame Jim Ryan on that! Sony used to have a PS Showcase within the same week of The Game Awards. But Jim Ryan hates promoting Playstation so......

"following Phil and Aaron’s lead" would be announcing a game with a CGI trailer without a year for releasing it..which usually happens 5 years afterwards.
A blog post saying a game releases next year's fall is hardly what they do lol.

hold up...
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Horizon DLC in the winter, Factions 2 in the Spring, SpiderMan 2 in the fall.
Looking light, but still top quality games. Factions 2 and Spider-Man 2 will both be GOTY contenders

I think the blame is shared by Jim, Phil, a whole bunch of corporate lawyers, FTC, EU, and the UK regulators. But mostly Jim, Phil and the lawyers who all want to give the other side the lowest possible amount of arrows for their legal quivers.

Still salty over cross gen huh? That’s not really a big deal and probably not up to Hermen alone. I don’t think he’s mandating anything
2023 - Factions, Spider-Man 2, PSVR, FF16. Probably a surprise or two (Team Asobi AstroBot VR2 in fall?), Bluepoint?
2024 - DS2, Wolverine
2025+ - Sucker Punch, Housemarque, ND, GaaS titles
Sony has consistently delivered games every year and that’s not really changing, their cadence seems pretty regular and consistent

Look at the starfield delay. Official assurances are official lies. The proof is in the pudding. If the game is less than a year away where is the footage? We saw the same thing with starfield. Announcement teaser with a release date then nothing for a year and then bam! delayed. GOW the same thing. Announced as a 2021 title, not shown for a full year and then delayed. Horizon too. Initial trailer in June 2020. 2021 release date. Then nothing until May 2021 when they finally reveal the gameplay trailer and delayed the game from 2021 to 2022. GT7 did the same thing. Hilarious how they follow the same model. The official Insomniac twitter once said that Spiderman will never come to PC. lol.
Maybe Spiderman 2 will be different, but after all the teasing and rumors this month, shouldve shown something. Either at the VGA or this week. They have gone almost a year and a half without showing anything about the game. 15 months isnt enough to cut together a new 2 minute trailer? This is supposed to be a PS5 in 2023 highlights post and their biggest game wasnt even shown all year.
I do find it hilarious that Sonys own official blogpost promoting 2023 is showing a whole bunch of last gen games.
RE4, Hogwarts, Destiny 2 DLC all cross gen.
Forspoken, FF16 moneyhats that look last gen as fuck. Forspoken especially looks worse than most last gen games. It's basically their redfall.
These are their highlights? We criticize MS for not reading the room, well, how is this any different? This blogpost shouldve been accompanied by a Spiderman trailer because that list looks underwhelming as fuck for PS5's THIRD year.

Both God of War and Gran Turismo 7 were advertised as 2021 games when they were first shown, so I don't put much weight on a 2023 date for SpiderMan 2.

Bethesda/Starfield =/= Insomniac output.
Compare track records to track records.

If all they release is factions and spiderman in 2023 thats fine, cause the release calendar is insane. Maybe focus on playing some games.

I think everyone should be salty as time passes. We are officially in the third year of this gen, discussing their underwhelming line up for the third year of their new console and you expect me to be less salty? why?

Do we need another avatar bet for you doubters.
I'm not saying you're wrong. But I do think there's an elephant in the room right now. As funny as the jokes were, I highly doubt MS didn't show anything off at the awards because they had nothing to show. And I strongly suspect both companies are going to be toeing the line when showing games off right now. So while the history of delayed games is worth taking into account, we shouldn't assume the worst when both companies have reason to be quiet right now.

But even before all FTC stuff with the MS-Activision deal, Jim Ryan was killing all types of shows that Playstation used to have. He just hates promoting Playstation. Remember how PSVR2 and the new PS5 controller were shown to the world for the first time?
