And just to be super clear — there will be no PlayStation Studios updates in Thursday’s episode. There won’t be any updates around hardware, business, preorders, or dates either. On Thursday, our focus is squarely on showcasing some cool upcoming games coming to the broader PlayStation ecosystem. Should be fun!

Praise be to Craig!

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Fuck yasssss

 

[Rheon]

OH SHIT BOYS IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: 'No big PS5 announcements!'

 

[Vawn]

Well, at least they keep expectations in check.

Edit: or not.... judging from above two posts

 

[Bartski]

what upcoming PS4 games?

 

[silent head]

No big PS5 announcements!

 

[FranXico]

No big PS5 announcements

Temper your expectations.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Great! Let's have some prediction on what they will show, everyone respond with what you think

 

[BaneIsPain]

Price reveal pleasee or at least PSVR PS5

 

[cormack12]

Wtf

At least i wont be wasting time watching.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Didn't read it fully...

Hype has been deflated

 

[Falc67]

Hype deflated...

 

[saintjules]

Hah

[JonnyMP3]

It's a 'State of Play' which we were expecting.
Kinda like a developer update vblog.
It was never a showcase btw.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Console is out this winter, think a bit more info would be handy considering some folk have to budget for these things.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

I can’t believe Sony has the audacity to spend 40 mins disappointing us with a State of Play focused on PS4 in the middle of next gen hype.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Focus on PS4 and PSVR? Check ins on 3rd party PS5 games is cool I guess

 

[Dr Kaneda]

Chances of them announcing the perma-death/grounded difficulty for TLoU2?

 

[Bartski]

whimper

 

[Eliciel]

Why are there No big announcements? They've gotten overconfident now or what?!

 

[Rattlehead121]

No PS5 announcements is 100% dumb and a miss step. Show us more. Doesn't have to be games either.

 

[Falc67]

I might not even watch this then.

 

[Randy_Lahey]

Its not even funny anymore. Just give the information damnit

 

[Radical Dreamer]

lmao atleast they are clear with what to expect xd

 

[Mmnow]

Bit weird at this point in the game, but fair enough. At least they're tempering expectations.

What does this mean for preorders?

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Updates on upcoming PS4 and PS VR titles take the spotlight.
It’s been a while… but State of Play returns this Thursday with a focus on third-party-published games coming to PS4 and PS VR. We’ll have a few PS5 game updates on third-party and indie titles you last saw in June’s PS5 showcase.

The episode is weighing in at 40+ minutes(!). We’ve got a great lineup in store featuring plenty of new gameplay footage and other game updates. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

And just to be super clear — there will be no PlayStation Studios updates in Thursday’s episode. There won’t be any updates around hardware, business, preorders, or dates either.

See you Thursday!

 

[Mista]

Keep it down boys. We don’t need more crying on Thursday, we already have enough recently.

 

[Eliciel]

No PS5 announcements is 100% dumb and a miss step. Show us more. Doesn't have to be games either.

Like where is the Technical Teardown??? I thought PS5 is in production...

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

What the hell is coming out for PS4 at this point?

Edit - 40+ minutes focused on PS4 and VR? Doesn't sound right

 

[Falc67]

Great! Let's have some prediction on what they will show, everyone respond with what you think

Third party and indie games that they’ve already shown in June.

 

[nush]

"No big PS5 announcements!"

There's definitely going to be a big announcement. They just don't want to give Microsoft a heads-up.

 

[sublimit]

Edit: Scratch my previous post. This is going to be lame.

 

[Ellery]

40 minutes on PS4 and PSVR huh.

Is this about Indies and Third party games?

 

[Badlucktroll]

Well i guess that august Silent Hill announcement rumor is a bust...

 

[saintjules]

Hmm, Roberto was right eh?

 

[Greeno]

Gaming news need to be condensed next year. This is too much. E3 is necessary.

 

[AV]

No big PS5 announcements!

What a wet fart.

 

[Falc67]

No PS5 announcements is 100% dumb and a miss step. Show us more. Doesn't have to be games either.

But launch games. They could easily show us a significant amount of Spider-Man Miles Morales...

 

[Freeman]

Interesting that they are underhyping this. I wonder if Sony wanted to bait MS in making another event to force them to reveal the price and the Series S.

 

[Aion002]

That's good! Show the Ps4 upcoming games is the smartest thing, since a new gen is so close. That's why I like Sony, they don't leave their old consoles behind until the very end. I guess this is the last PS4 State of Play, can't wait!

 

[sublimit]

I'm pretty sure they pulled back any big PS5 announcements they had planned after they saw MS's underwhelming show. That's why we need competition.

 

[John254]

Wow. Sony is soooo confident in PS5 pricing, that they reaaaaly don't want to announce their prices first...

 

[turtlepowa]

So again no price. I knew Sony would wait at least until the Gamescom. It's just too important, but one of them has to go first.

 

[TLZ]

Who the hell cares about upcoming PS4 games now

 

[hyperbertha]

Good to see sony is keeping the hype alive on their imminent next gen c-

 

[Captain Hero]

I’m cool with that .. being honest with every upcoming event is what we really appreciate and want . If you guys upset , there is no need to be . PlayStation is being clear to everyone.. no false hype and no big expectations

and there is more than State of Play .. it’s obvious they don’t want to reveal everything now ..
