I don't recall Sony doing a rundown of what their studios are doing as of the moment, especially during these State of Play presentations. They will appear when they have a footage ready.
I don’t mean an official rundown (although I would love that), just like with showcases of old where you get a bunch of trailers even for projects that are far out and then have a better idea of the pipeline. Many of the studios were outright missing this time and the new ones focusing on GAAS stuff that I won’t be playing aren’t making up for it
I suspect we won't get any anytime soon as a lot of their games, are either in deep production or early production. Team Asobi just became in its own Sony studio last year. Returnal and Gran Turismo 7 are still recent ps5 games and I don't think their respective studio will announce a new game anytime soon. Insomniac still has Wolverine and there could be DLCs for Spider-Man 2 for neXt year, so it would be a long time from now before they announce another game.
There's also London Studio and Media Molecule, there's a report that both are working in a new game, but thats about it. Media Molecule stopped supporting Dreams last September, so their new game must be in early stage.
It is disappointing but I have come to expect disappointment from the vast majority of studios and "AAA" games with massive day one patches, micro-transactions and baked in DLC that will ask you to buy it at a later date.
Good to hear.
No it was pretty bad aside from a few specific reveals. I expect SGF to be like that and not too great, but just wish it wasn't so long. Most of it is filler. My point above was that the Sony show might have come across better if they'd kept those for their own show and their own show surely is most important to them.
Yeah I also said before that it should have been their eXclusives. Though first look for games like Metal Gear and new footage for Mirage were highlights as well. I think it was too long. Sometimes less is more. Good for me, as I didn't also catch that live stream.
Most Sony shows are much better than this one was. After no show last year I was actually expecting it to be one of the best ones with some huge announcements for the future. I guess Covid delays are catching up with some of the studios and Jim’s GAAS love also got in the way. I kind of want the early Sony GAAS releases to utterly fail to force a rethink on having them take over.
I think they are just in the period in which their eXciting games are still far out so there's nothing much to show. WhIle the rest, the third party developers probably paid for their games to be shown in the last livestream turning into a lot of nothings.
Yeah, I guess they’ve not been in an interim period like this before without enough material ready for 2 years in a row, with the extended dev cycles for AAA games now and then Covid also getting in the way. Next year’s show could be the one that hypes everyone through the roof!
there.
Nice. I saw there were some very good sales on internal SSDs for PS5 around Memorial Day.
