Grade the State of Play

A - Awesome
B - Bad
C - Coronavirus infection would be better than this
D - Deathloop

I'd like to vote C but I'm not vaccinated yet so...

E.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I wonder how Deathloop is going to be. Arkane's shooting gameplay has been pretty bad in Prey and Dishonored, but those games were more about exploration, stealth and puzzling. The Hitman approach with rewinds doesn't sound appealing to me. You're constantly treading the same path, but get pushed further each time. When it appears on Xbox, its on GP day one. So might as well wait it out.

I like DS but not gonna spend full whack on that. Lost Judgment is hype, I love Judgment.

SoP is mostly about indies anyway, and while some are okay I usually don't care much for them.

 

[reksveks]

Sifu being 2022 is a bit of a downer

 

[Dr Kaneda]

Death Stranding DC saved that. Lucky that I'm insanely hyped for it or else this would have been a poo SoP. Was excited for Sifu but more just for a release date, a delay to 2022 is not what I wanted from the show.

 

[platina]

Hot garbage, all of it.

 

[Yoboman]

Definitely seemed like a “let’s get these out of the way” kinda show. Hopefully that means that a larger PlayStation Experience show is on the horizon.

Yeah

Felt like the sort of content they would fill up a pre-E3 show with in past years

 

[jshackles]

At least we know what next month's PS5 game on PS+ is gonna be

 

[Filldo]

Tough crowd.

I think Deathloop looks great. I love the 60s spy / pink panther aesthetic.

I thought it looked good too. Dishonored series and Prey are some of my favorites from last gen.

 

[TheGodfather07]

deathloop just made me wish we were getting a normal arkane game like dishonored. i dont like this new formula.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Feels like I've seen the same Deathloop demo every time.

From someone who never really got into the Dishonoured games, it's really not sold me yet.

 

[Bartski]

loving everything about Death Stranding!

But it all looks like a new stand-alone game with tons of new toys and mechanics added to the old campaign rather than an expansion... did they announce how is that gonna work somewhere?

Nope, literally all they showed was a physical PS5 box

It looks okay. I'm sure it will be a solid game when reviews roll out

It lacks a certain next gen appeal. Particularly the choppy animations. Could have easily been a last gen game

 

[RoadHazard]

Well, that was about as boring as expected. The most interesting thing was Moss 2. Deathloop puts me to sleep.

 

[DonJorginho]

much better than I expected, shame that Sifu has been delayed and no more info on Little Devil Inside but Death Stranding Directors Cut looks insane, the indie titles look really interesting and Deathloop keeps looking better and better with each showing.

B-

 

[reinking]

Not a great show but I wasn't expecting anything. I do expect an announcement soon for the PSX show coming soon. Now, if Sony does not come through there they can kiss my butt. I mean, I am not chunking my PS5 in the dumpster but I will add another year to my Game Pass sub. Take that Jimmy boy.

 

[SSfox]

Ok now we need the date of the true PS Event.

 

[009EspadaSageJay]

Deathlooped looked pretty sick arkhan games are always tough to show off because there so many little things you can do in there games that are out of this box style gameplay also ost sounds great. Whole conference wasnt bad give it a C- the jet game could be fun demon slayer getting shown was hype lost judgement as well looks great DS directors cut looks really interesting looks like kojima is off the wall like his old self and sifu looks cool.

 

[Javthusiast]

Ok now we need the date of the true PS Event.

I fear these shitty SoPs is all we get. At most focusing on singular games like gow etc. and small shit, not a huge all encompassing show.

[Salz01]

Did some Little Devil kill Inside? Where the fuck is that game? I thought I saw on some marketing banner it was coming out this July. It’s the only Indie I want to see. I am disappoint.

I was hoping we'd see more of it too.

 

[envyzeal]

Wasn't expecting anything, so it was ok. I was already sold on Tribes of Midgard and FIST. Can't wait to play Moss II, but I'll wait for PSVR2. Deathloop is an easy pass.

Fear not my friend, don't underestimate power of mighty Sony. Summer is gonna be a lot hotter than you think.

 

[Fake]

When Deathloop will launch for State of Play stop showing him?

 

[Javthusiast]

Fear not my friend, don't underestimate power of mighty Sony. Summer is gonna be a lot hotter than you think.

Nah, Sony don't give a shit anymore. They know they can coast on shows like this and still sell units.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah, that was seriously lacking. Felt... incredibly unnecessary to me. Stoked on Sifu though, and I'm curious about the Death Stranding Director's Cut as well. Loved the game so much. Deathloop... still has me on the fence to be honest.

But yeah, this whole State of Play felt lacking and super short, haha.

[Shifty1897]

I expected nothing and got nothing. This is fine.

 

[Spukc]

deathloop looks so amazing wow
and that new battle royale game such a twist!! it's a fighter dayyum!!

I don't think so, and in case you're right, the feedback will make them change their plans for the better.

Deathloop is already getting a big dislike count on ytb lol

 

[reksveks]

Who is publishing Little Devil Inside? Hope I have the name correct?

That game like Ghostwire Tokyo has disappeared

what a low blow

 

[kungfuian]

Dear Sony

 

[worldwithpyramids]

How many times does someone need Death Loop explained?

It really isn’t that difficult of a concept.

And we would like to let you know that all gamepass ultimate users will be getting a unique code to buy the game off the Microsoft pc store.....

 

[DeepSpace5D]

It was actually a bit better than I thought it’d be given my low expectations from the description of it. I thought F.I.S.T, Jett, Sifu, Lost Judgment, Death Stranding: DC all looked great. And even Deathloop looked better than I remember but I’m still on the fence about it.

I was hoping Little Devil Inside and Stray would show up but that unfortunately wasn’t the case.

Desperately trying to get attention that the game comes from Xbox Game Studios.

 

[Captain Toad]

That was bad. Moss Book 2 is exciting, but that's literally the only thing I cared about.

DonJorginho was this Sony "going big" that you promised?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Any idea on an upgrade for death stranding?

 

[Arun1910]

I fear these shitty SoPs is all we get. At most focusing on singular games like gow etc. and small shit, not a huge all encompassing show.

Nah.

We will have some kind of PlayStation Experience or whatever the fuck at some point this Summer. You don't just skip E3 then do SoP in its place.

 

[MrS]

Sifu looks ok
Trials of whatever is Diablo with a norse paintjob. Looked good for £15 so will pick it up.
FIST looks good but £25 might be too high
JETT looks good. interested
Dont care for Death Loop
Disappointed by Death Stranding's poor showing.
Lost Judgement looks good

5/10 showing for me

Any idea on an upgrade for death stranding?

"Fuck you, pay me" seems to be the strategy with this one

 

[SSfox]

For those that don't feel good, just go back and watch this masterpiece and you'll feel much better

 

[Fredrik]

Oh well. Sifu looked great at least. And hopefully Moss 2 comes to Quest 2. Fist looks cool too. But all in all, disappointimg, they need to have their big event soon.

 

[YukiOnna]

When Deathloop will launch for State of Play stop showing him?

Game lives up to its title. Truly stuck in a facking deathloop with this game.

 

[SlimySnake]

People have been giving that excuse for like 2 years. I remember specifically that people were saying that last year before PS5 launched. ''Well we gotta get TLOU2 and GOT out of the way first, 'then' we'll here about Silent Hill Remake (or whatever)''.

Sony under Jim Ryan sucks ass.

Yep.

They skipped e3 2019.
They skipped e3 2021.

I'm tired of excuses and hoping for shows month after month. It's time to let go and move on. Best thing we might get are dedicated state of plays for gow and gt7

 

[Toxictemplar]

Thought this state of play was pretty meh. I want to see some more updates on those games that they showcased long time ago, like Stray and that Hogwarts game

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Unironically, a fart presentation would of been far more entertaining

 

[Shakka43]

I like what I have played so far of Moss and will keep an eye on the sequel.
