They said this would be third party and PSVR2. That's exactly what we got.

And I love that they actually kept the focus on that and with big names to boot. Some of those were E3-worthy and would definitely have popped up in a showcase 1-2 years ago.

 

[Neff]

By far the best State of Direct thing they've ever done. Hit the ground running and didn't stop. Well, not much.

 

[SLB1904]

How is that salt? I said best sop and I was surprised because with the content I thought it would have been ps presentation. How is that salt? Wut

I missread your post. I apologise

 

[CobraAB]

Ray tracing on returnal. Fuck me. PC stays winning. Those settings look awesome. Will deffo double dip, games amazing.

Wish I'd waited tbh. I've done everything.

What we got, 2 more hours?

Nice to have GPU’s that cost more than a PS5 alone.

 

[SlimySnake]

Pretty bad show. No next gen games aside from FF16 which looks last gen. I guess Horizon would count as a next gen only game but man it looks rough.

I am thoroughly unimpressed by what third parties have brought to this gen so far. Not even talented devs like Capcom and SE are doing anything even remotely ambitious. If it wasn't for Epic, we would be in the dark ages thinking FF16, Deathloop and Ghostwire tokyo are the best graphics we could have this gen.

 

[Killer8]

As I said in other threads, covid delays are still a thing and it's not at all surprising that things are slipping so much into 2023. It's not a 'Microsoft can't manage their teams' problem like Jaffe and his band of Sony bros pretended it was.

Anyway this was a pretty good showing to me. Basically every major game looked great.

 

[azertydu91]

SFVI was definitely the highlight for me; if the content is there and the netcode is actually good, it's gonna be big. RE4 Remake looks pretty good. That RollerDrome game actually looks pretty cool, and FF XVI looks awesome. The VR games including Horizon look promising.

Actually, I don't think there was a single weak game in the showing. Guess the only surprise is FF XVI is a bit further out than I thought but makes sense they want to give Forspoken some breathing room and more time for FFXVI to be polished.

No single weak game, are you sure?That bycicle game and maybe that roller game....The rest is awesome though.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

FFXVI RE4REMAKE. YEAAAAAH

Also I want Eternights so bad.

And Calisto....

 

[The Shepard]

Resident evil 4, street fighter 6 and ff16 were the highlights for me and the castillo project has got my interest.

No BB, SH, Kojima, Metal Gear and Naughty dog.
But still good State of play.
Shame n info on psvr 2

Sure they said this was just third party and psvr2, maybe they'll have a first party state of play soon.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Best games shown (even if I ignore my genre preferences)

- Callisto
- Rollerblade game
- Stray
- FF16

 

[TGO]

1) Callisto Protocol
2) RE4 Remake
3) Street fighter 6
4) Final Fantasy XVI
Still not sure about FFXVI though.
the rest was shit
But overall good SoP

Btw the 4K trailers are up

 

[mejin]

Awesome State !


Surprised af

 

[CatLady]

That seemed like a pretty decent State of Play to me. I was only interested in Stray, but it seems like there were several games that Sony gamers would enjoy, plus games for PSVR2. I think probably the majority of PS fans are happy with this SoP.

 

[MasterCornholio]

No I said best state of play (low bar, but still)

I'm asking you if you thought it was good. Not that it's the best State of Play.

 

[TintoConCasera]

That was entertaining, gj.

 

[Fbh]

That was...ok.

-FFXVI looks great, love the art style, the plot seems interesting, dialog isn't as cringe as usual and the gameplay looks great. Summer 2023 is disappointing though, wasn't expecting it this year but based on recent comments I was hoping for early 2023.
-The Calisto Protocol looks great, seems like a proper spiritual successor to Dead Space.
- PSVR 2 stuff looks good though I wish they'd announce a date and pricing.
- RE4R is nice seeing it confirmed for relatively soon, the trailer sucked ass though

Overall a solid SoP .....though being in June it's hard not to have wanted a bigger event with more announcements. Also no first party announcements which sucks.

[graywolf323]

yep but people are going to complain anyway even though Sony warned us beforehand there wouldn't be first-party news at this event

 

[names are for friends]

No Forspoken?

That game was... Forspoken for.

Spoiler

no i don't know what i mean by that

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'm asking you if you thought it was good. Not that it's the best State of Play.

Stop, you’re causing them emotional damage.

 

[01011001]

Nice to have GPU’s that cost more than a PS5 alone.

a 350€ GPU beats the PS5's GPU my guy, especially if raytracing is on

 

[fran.fernandez]

So lame…..

 

[killatopak]

RE4 was the only thing I needed for this to be a 10/10 for me.

RE fans we eating.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

No single weak game, are you sure?That bycicle game and maybe that roller game....The rest is awesome though.

Nah I actually liked the RollerDome game tho I'm beyond tired of the '80s music vibe stuff. Didn't see the bicycle game (had to go between chat and watching the show).

But overall yeah, a really good show. Time to rewatch that SFVI trailer.

 

[kirby007]

If this was the best state of play i'm glad i missed out on the previous ones
Also SF better have more costumes then just recolors

 

[Banjo64]

Ok.

 

[jshackles]

Stop, you’re causing them emotional damage.

 

[The_hunter]

SF6 and ff16 looked very good.

 

[SteadyEvo]

Glad E3 is cancelled, sony can barely make 28 mins exciting.

Somewhat agree. I was expecting E3 level announcements. RE4 was the best thing shown. Not a fan of FF or SF so those did nothing for me. And I truly wish Sony would stop with the VR and focus all attention on traditional gaming. Guessing they didn’t wanna blow their load

Still love you Sony

 

[DangerDiabolik]

Solid show. Probably as good as a State of Play can be if you're not showing first party stuff.

 

[Shifty1897]

Yeah I can't complain about this State of Play, it really feels like there was something for everyone to get excited about. For me, Rollerdrome, RE4, Callisto and FF16 were highlights.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Stop, you’re causing them emotional damage.

I mean the best of something can still be terrible. Just wanted to know if Lognor thought the event was any good.

 

[Katajx]

That was actually pretty good. Hope we get some more stuff from the Summer Game Fest stuff and maybe the Microsoft showcase.

Really digging the FFXVI art direction, but I’m still can’t figure out the combat, but I can wait to find out more.

It looks improved a bit from the initial reveal which is good! The summon designs were pretty fantastic. They did outshine the npcs though.

Hopefully it plays great though.

 

[Topher]

I mean the best of something can still be terrible. Just wanted to know if Lognor thought the event was any good.

The bar is low.....apparently

 

[azertydu91]

But overall yeah, a really good show. Time to rewatch that SFVI trailer.

Yeah that's why I said maybe that roller game because I am curious about it but I don't really like the artstyle....That bycicle game is a no no though, believe me you didn't miss anything if that's the only thing you missed.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Not a bad show. Looking forward to lot of what they showed. And also looking forward to being too scared to buy any of the horror games they've showed as well.

Wonder if vxi needed more Dev time/polish or was it too close to everything else that's releasing soon?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Must say, that was a solid enough showing.

 

[Aion002]

FFXVI looks amazing and I am hyped for RE4R.

 

[BadBurger]

Finally a date on Stray. Love me some Annapurna games, been waiting on this one for a long time.

 

[SLB1904]

Callisto looks like dead space.

Same creator... and it's exactly what I want after ea fuck it up

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

That seemed like a pretty decent State of Play to me. I was only interested in Stray, but it seems like there were several games that Sony gamers would enjoy, plus games for PSVR2. I think probably the majority of PS fans are happy with this SoP.

Hm, has a cat as the main character. Can't be a coincidence .

I think games like SFVI would be something beyond just PS fans liking, since apparently Klobriel rushed out on Twitter to show it's coming to Xbox Series systems too. I just hope the netcode is good this time and there's no stupid three-frame buffer.

 

[Lognor]

So much inaccuracy in one post

So much inaccuracy but like i said sf6 is on Xbox and last gen! I know what I'm talking about. Capcom not making the same mistake again. Boom!

 

[killatopak]

Forspoken is gonna release this year so it maybe just to space them out.

 

[THEAP99]

Average show. Solid announcement with the RE4 Remake.

Should've ended with something big from Naughty Dog or Santa Monica. Still no reason to use my ps5 again till next year.

 

[azertydu91]

The bar is low.....apparently

Don't forget that it is coming from someone that goes camping with its console....So probably an expert in lowbar.

 

[Hugare]

Imagine thinking that this was disapointing

It started with freaking RE 4, ffs. That alone makes this SOP better than 90% of the others in the past.

The anime game was the only shitty part, the rest was fire

Was kinda disapointed with FF XVI because I hated the HUD and damage numbers floating everywhere

Callisto Protocol was the star, for me. Loved every second of the trailer, and cant wait to put my hands on it.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

re4r, horizon vr, re8 vr, sf6, ff16 - probably one of best state of play tough where is alyx and gt7 vr

 

[Lognor]

I mean the best of something can still be terrible. Just wanted to know if Lognor thought the event was any good.

Yes is good. Re4, ff, that dead space looking game, sf6. Who can say it's not good? Even if I'm not interested in half of those. Is good

 

[engstra]

Sony really brought the heat! RE4 looked very cool, RE8 on VR confirmed even cooler. Really impressed by Call of the Mountain. Stray for free with new PS+ is awesome. Calisto Protocol looked really really good. And finally so happy to see Season again after a long time away. That game looks fantastic.
Really good showing. Not a fan of having a trailer just to say spiderman is coming to PC, that really should've just been a blogpost, but otherwise can't complain. Solid B+ showing

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Yeah that's why I said maybe that roller game because I am curious about it but I don't really like the artstyle....That bycicle game is a no no though, believe me you didn't miss anything if that's the only thing you missed.

The artstyle for RollerDome had me thinking it was another rollerblade-based game that got shown off very recently, but Rollerdome looks better/more unique than that game so I'll probably at least give it a try.
