Live: Watch Sony PlayStation's State of Play Livestream Right Here (27th October, 2021)

Little Devil Inside! PS Plus! Other third-parties!

by Sammy Barker Wed 27th Oct 2021

There's no question that the anticipation for this latest State of Play is muted, with Sony confirming the show will run for just 20 minutes, and some of that time seemingly dedicated to Little Devil Inside and PS Plus. This is going to be short, and hopefully sweet, but at least expectations have been calibrated accordingly. It'll all get underway from 2PM PT / 10PM BST.

Sure there'll be, er, a robust reaction to that.

22:23

22:23

Well, that looks bonkers. No date, though!

22:19

Now it's time for Little Devil Inside, as was previously announced.

22:19

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is coming 2022 to PS5 and PS4.

Square Enix logo...

22:15

First Class Trouble is next up. This is your PS5 game for PS Plus, in case you missed the leak earlier.

22:14

The beta begins on 19th November.

Death's Door is next up after debuting on other platforms earlier in the year. It's coming out on 23rd November.

22:10

It's Security Breach and it's due out on 16th December. Thought that one was already out, to be honest.

22:09

It's now time for the obligatory Five Nights at Freddy's update. We definitely get one of these every State of Play, don't we?

It's a FREE update and it's coming in early 2022.

22:06

Bugsnax is getting new content: Isle of Bigsnax!

22:06

We Are OFK is coming in 2022. It's like a narrative game about a band.

Hi

RedKnight34 said:

Lol i just read the blog updates no Deathloop news i'm mad

Voltan said:

@RedKnight34 - you know... stuff

Pditty1980 said:

@redknight34 not much, very disappointing state of play!

RedKnight34 said:

So what miss i got busy

Pditty1980 said:

Kidfried enjoy, im play guardians of the galaxy now too!

anyway, im off to play some persona 5. smell ya later dear gamers

(compared to the price they usually like to sell such games for I mean lol)

my save files are worth that much

@Pditty1980 i really really need the cloud saves. that's been the reason i had my subscription these past few years

I mean that doesn't sound like a bad idea but I don't see where Nintendo profit

Pditty1980 said:

mm. im think of not renewing my subscription

and then sell PlayStation's worst controllers to play them on: the boomerang and the original PS1 controller

That's what the people want nowadays

They should add a Plus Plus subscription for N64 games

New Star Ocean is pretty cool (assuming they can... uh... stabilize that framerate a bit). Rest of this is... yikes.

ok, lol. bad sentence

on the same note, let's change "PS Plus" to "PS Minus"

@danlk1ng mm, yea i get that. the name sounds like something that is something you shouldn't miss.

I dunno, it just sounds like a super important update - and it's livestreamed too. I'm just trying to justify to myself why so many people with "no expactations" complain anyway

STAR OCEAN!

Just got here and it's already over lol

these petty gamers always do it to themselves and then complain.

isn't it all just the gamers themselves that have said "this is osny's anwner to nintendo directs"?

That was lame

@danlk1ng how does state of play imply that?

Iver said:

🥱

I don't think it was bad. They probably just need to change the name - "State of Play" kind of implies a much grander update than these seem to be intended to be

BeerIsAwesome said:

i look forward to receiving knockout city for the third time, and i still haven't paid a penny for that game. i haven't played it either, but that's beside the point.

holy hell was that a NEW STAR OCEAN XD

patronmacabre said:

Were people expecting FF16?

SegaBlueSky said:

We Are OFK, Bugsnax, Little Devil Inside and Death's Door are all 100% right up my street so I'm very happy

nessisonett said:

There's enough coming out that I don't really care how bad that was

DeepSpace5D said:

Im interested in a few stuff tbf

Shepherd_Tallon said:

That was good. Little Devil Inside is looking more and more interesting.

@Gamer83 it can't be disappointing if you had zero expectations. that's like the end of infinity

NimrodNation20 said:

Blog Post would have been better than a State of Play

Octane said:

eh, free bugsnax, and an LDI update

Cornaboyzzz said:

There were supposed to talk about PS Plus ?

Ryall said:

star ocean!

Had zero expectations but still gotta say meh about this one. Very disappointing.

Pditty1980 said:

no sign of ps+

Anke said:

Robust? Oh boy.

#givejimryanaraise

Cikajovazmaj said:

F for feffort.

BeerIsAwesome said:

that was okay. didn't get any plus announcements though, apart from the 3D amogus

Voltan said:

too bad there was no release date for this - otherwise greate

nessisonett said:

I mean it was pretty terrible to be fair but I had zero expectations anyway

Octane said:

F

patronmacabre said:

I liked it

hmm

Cornaboyzzz said:

Well that was a waste of time

JaphyRider said:

awful

Octane said:

Sony is over

DeepSpace5D said:

Ugh still no release date

Luminous117 said:

That was fun to watch.

SegaBlueSky said:

Not a bad little update

KidBoruto said:

State of Play is over

omg sony completely lost it

Pditty1980 said:

@LewisHamilton i agree

Octane said:

when

Athrum said:

not even a release date

tanaka2687 said:

i came in expecting very little. came out quite happy.

BeerIsAwesome said:

this just turned into scarlet nexus!

Athrum said:

horrible

nessisonett said:

God guys fire Jim Ryan xoxo

omg we got a celeb in the chat

Anke said:

Looks like Frank Sidebottom.

LewisHamilton said:

what a waste of 20 mins.... SONY - SORT IT OUT

i love babuschka's

Neonix said:

Well according to my taste at least.

Jenny_Jones said:

this looks weird and i love it

Octane said:

If you can zoom in and out at any time it's 200% more awesome

every state of play is the "worst ever" if you listen to the right people

SegaBlueSky said:

Combat looks well done too

patronmacabre said:

This looks like that one Marshmallow guy

Luminous117 said:

I like it

DArK SOulS

jdv95 said:

i dig this

Neonix said:

Well that was 20 minutes completely wasted. Worst State of Play ever?

BeerIsAwesome said:

F

patronmacabre said:

I do love the visual style

thanks for clarifying voice over guy!

Octane said:

this looks nothing like the other trailer lol

Let's just get a release date for this game, that'd make me real happy

nessisonett said:

Yeah this is the only thing I'm interested in

KidBoruto said:

I'm happy enough between Star Ocean, Bugsnax, and FNAF

Octane said:

BUY THE CORN

SegaBlueSky said:

Yeah, it's gorgeous

BeerIsAwesome said:

i'm pretty sure the persona announcement sega made was for a mobile phone game

brilliant style

Voltan said:

This looks good - and anyway, I got a couple nice announcements out of this show, so that's not bad overall

patronmacabre said:

Other than Persona 6 which was never going to be announced here (or ever)

SegaBlueSky said:

Looks lovely so far

patronmacabre said:

Let it Die, Death's Door, and Star Ocean. I don't know how this doesn't exceed people's expectations

BeerIsAwesome said:

dat raytracing

Was hoping for something from Capcom.

i like trains

Luminous117 said:

I'll keep an eye on Star Ocean.

tanaka2687 said:

fix the framerate, then you have a winner there.

Octane said:

woop

BeerIsAwesome said:

i remember the time i bought star ocean the last hope, and the game store clerk tried to convince me to buy final fantasy 13 instead :/

patronmacabre said:

I hope it doesn't take too much from Xenoblade. I am not a big fan of those games

Voltan said:

Looks like most moder jRPGs... which isn't necessarily a bad thing

nessisonett said:

This is chugging harder than Thomas & Friends

SegaBlueSky said:

Amazing looking environments but those character designs...hmm

KidBoruto said:

also so happy for Bugsnax DLC

Star Ocean hasn't been great for a while, hope this one is good.

patronmacabre said:

Star Ocean 3 was excellent

KidBoruto said:

STAR OCEAN HYPE

Voltan said:

Never played a Star Ocean...

Octane said:

Blenoxade

tanaka2687 said:

now this is what i'm talking about

patronmacabre said:

Uh, let's hope they fix the framerate for the PS5 version

hey, thats the frog from the witcher

Octane said:

0/10

patronmacabre said:

Looking VERY Xenoblade holy ship

"at the END of INFINITE" hmmm hmmmm

Octane said:

there is no end to infinity

patronmacabre said:

Let's hope for a good Star Ocean

jdv95 said:

wow this would be big

patronmacabre said:

... Multiplayer games I play for two hours are what I want out of PS Plus

BeerIsAwesome said:

star ocean!

DeepSpace5D said:

Ps4/ps5 crossplay for that would be jice

Athrum said:

new star ocean?

:/

Athrum said:

ugh

Octane said:

that drop was KO fall damage???

Anke said:

Dead by November 3rd.

BeerIsAwesome said:

shorthand for online battle arena games, such as DOTA, LoL and heroes

patronmacabre said:

Wait? Knockout City is the PS+ game? That's awesome

SegaBlueSky said:

Good lord this looks terrible

The state of plays arent for big announcements. they are for deep dives and indies.

Voltan said:

so this is like a 3d amogus?

nessisonett said:

...do you know what a MOBA is?

BeerIsAwesome said:

that's like 3 months in a row now

BeerIsAwesome said:

oh good, another MOBA coming to PS+

nessisonett said:

This should have been marketed as an Indie Direct equivalent

patronmacabre said:

There is ... a non-zero chance I play the indie pop simulator game

DeepSpace5D said:

3D Among Us I keep seeing this game

yea

jdv95 said:

yep

Grumblevolcano said:

Was this the rumoured PS+ game?

tanaka2687 said:

so first class trouble is 3d among us?

jdv95 said:

this is a plus game btw

SegaBlueSky said:

Captured on PS5? Hard to believe...

Octane said:

robot hitman

BeerIsAwesome said:

for some reason, every fighter that isn't made by netherrealm looks like the street fighter games now

Athrum said:

seems like this will be the worse State of Play they released so far

gotta love europop

patronmacabre said:

I know people miss PSX and Sony's E3s, but I like that they've adopted Nintendo Directs. I just wish they were as charming as Nintendo Directs

Pditty1980 said:

kof 15 that franchise is long lived

@nessisonett haha

Hopefully will be more fun to play than KoF XIV. Couldn't get into that one.

Voltan said:

Open beta - nice, I'll check it out... loved KOF.... in the 90s lol

SegaBlueSky said:

I love KoF but hate the visuals on this one

nessisonett said:

@Kidfried I don't know but also I've been playing DDR lately are you familiar with that game I'm really good at DDR and this reminds me of XXXTREME the europop song from 1998

mmmm mayo

BeerIsAwesome said:

jiggle physics: the game

Octane said:

mayonetta

Great State of Play so far!

Voltan said:

KOF

BeerIsAwesome said:

unpopular opinion: the only good kart game that isn't mario kart is sonic and sega all stars racing

is anti matter in the building?

Voltan said:

@Gamer - Bugsnax DLC and Death's Door coming to PS in November were the biggest ones so far

patronmacabre said:

Honestly, I know people were going in with underwater expectations, but this State of Play is actually pretty good outside of FNAF

jdv95 said:

kart racers are back lol

Pditty1980 said:

@gamer83 no nothing spectacular so far, quite unimpressed

Octane said:

lol

nessisonett said:

This has Anti written all over it

1998 again

tanaka2687 said:

looks nice.

@gamer83 No

Doesn't seem like it.

SegaBlueSky said:

After playing Hot Wheels unleashed, this looks...not good

Late. Did I miss any major announcements?

Octane said:

Xbox gets knack

Voltan said:

I think I already have Titan Souls from PS+ or something?

patronmacabre said:

"Hey remember Mod Nation Racers"

BeerIsAwesome said:

modnation racers 2. probably

nessisonett said:

Does this mean Xbox are getting Bugsnax in return

Wilshiire said:

what on earth is this showcase lol

Octane said:

kartriders is the lamest name ever

patronmacabre said:

Which is a pretty good deal, ngl

And Titan Souls is nice too by the way

Octane said:

free titan souls sounds good as well

patronmacabre said:

I think Microsoft just pays development costs for indies in return for like 3 months exclusivity and Game Pass

Octane said:

i'll check this out

Octane said:

i've heard good stuff about it

this State of Play is now officially brilliant. this was my secret biggest wish

SegaBlueSky said:

Oh nice, wasn't expecting this so quickly!

Grumblevolcano said:

Xbox exclusivity is over!

Voltan said:

I heard this was great

Octane said:

wasn't this xbox exclusive?

patronmacabre said:

OKAY THIS IS AWESOME

oh yea. i already hoped this was coming

Octane said:

oh nice

tanaka2687 said:

nice

Grumblevolcano said:

Death's Door

DeepSpace5D said:

Not for me but FNAF will do well

Voltan said:

Death's Door?

SegaBlueSky said:

Meh

FNAF is the gaming equivalent of the Saw series

patronmacabre said:

So is the Let it Die thing a sequel to Let it Die?

BeerIsAwesome said:

big oof

nessisonett said:

Nah the furries turned on Scott when he turned out to be a massive Republican

crimsontadpoles said:

that aligator robot looks so cool

jdv95 said:

i never found the FNAF concept scary.

BeerIsAwesome said:

the furries will love this

patronmacabre said:

I am pretty sure Scott Cawthorn has nothing to do with Security Breach. But also, no one cares about FNAF

NEStalgia said:

Let's be honest. Freddy's is still less horrifying than Chuck E Cheese.

Voltan said:

yeeeah, I know nothing about FNAF but this creeps me out lol

Enuo said:

F*ck Scott Cawthon

BeerIsAwesome said:

instructions unclear: spent 6 nights at freddy's

NEStalgia said:

Free. Like the original.

nessisonett said:

I refuse to believe people are into FNAF in 2021

Jenny_Jones said:

free is awesome

DeepSpace5D said:

Free update so why not

Cornaboyzzz said:

Free, that's nice

its sad that i always have to turn on adblocker for push squares streaming interface to work

Voltan said:

Free DLC

Octane said:

free awesome

Luminous117 said:

Nice

thank god for Playstation studios

BeerIsAwesome said:

you should sell bugsnax to us as an easy platinum

SegaBlueSky said:

Loved BUgsnax, well up for more

jdv95 said:

it already has nes!!!!!

Pditty1980 said:

so far very unimpressed

NEStalgia said:

OMG. Stop trying to make Bugsnax happen Sony. It's not going to happen.

hmm

Enuo said:

Best show ever

Jenny_Jones said:

yay!

Octane said:

BUGKNACKS

SegaBlueSky said:

Bungerbungerbunger

Voltan said:

BUGSNAX!

Grumblevolcano said:

Bugsnax!

jdv95 said:

wow hahahahah

BeerIsAwesome said:

"coming to PS4 - the future!"

nessisonett said:

I seem to remember something about this at the game awards a couple years back

JaphyRider said:

i hate this

BeerIsAwesome said:

but do we actually make music?

SegaBlueSky said:

Dialogue is sounding promising, very funny

Luminous117 said:

Lol

BeerIsAwesome said:

self awareness the game!

HAHAHAHA

Grumblevolcano said:

ARMS 2

Octane said:

ARMS shoutout

Enuo said:

Thicc arms

HAHAHAHAHA

Octane said:

VA the game

Pditty1980 said:

captured onpc!

BeerIsAwesome said:

"captured on PC"

nessisonett said:

Is it Suda then if its the Let It Die name?

Enuo said:

War sucks

SegaBlueSky said:

Ah nice, been looking forward to We Are OFK

Pditty1980 said:

not intrested in Deathverse!

BeerIsAwesome said:

deathverse = deathloop sequel

SegaBlueSky said:

Ugh

NEStalgia said:

Step 1: Identify trend. Step 2: Copy trend. Step 3: ???? Step 4: Put it on Game Pass when it fails miserably.

Luminous117 said:

Music seems a bit overly dramatic for a moba of all things.

Enuo said:

Does look kind of interesting

Octane said:

Octopus Disappointment

BeerIsAwesome said:

i wonder how many of these MOBAs will still be around in 3 years time

jdv95 said:

you love to do those kinds of reviews sammy adit it

get2sammyb said:

Thanks man

DeepSpace5D said:

Reminds me of Let It Die

Pditty1980 said:

Here we go!

jdv95 said:

is this another battle royale?

nessisonett said:

I'll let you borrow Squid Lame for the review Sammy

BeerIsAwesome said:

oh good, a MOBA. we don't have enough of those at the moment!

get2sammyb said:

Thanks I hate it

Luminous117 said:

Yep

Cornaboyzzz said:

PS Plus game

no thanks

nessisonett said:

Squid Lame

Octane said:

already hate it

BeerIsAwesome said:

PS5 - rated M for mature

BeerIsAwesome said:

right, time for the minute countdown!

Luminous117 said:

Here we go

Voltan said:

Late as usual

nessisonett said:

deathloop 2

BeerIsAwesome said:

the bold circles going through the outline circles is oddly satisfying

PRAISE THE CIRCLE \o/

Luminous117 said:

Praise the circle

jdv95 said:

i'm not expecting anymore big 3rd party reveals and updates untill the game awards.

the circle is doing the best it can! It's performing for millions, talk about pressure

Octane said:

it oscillates, and makes minimal friction contact, which is actually way more efficient in this zero gravity PlayStation dimension

jdv95 said:

no date yet so far Voltan

Octane said:

define badly

BeerIsAwesome said:

why do we not watch it on twitch? because twitch chat is toxic as hell

Luminous117 said:

I know there's little chance of it happening, but I'd love to see a new Rayman game.

Ryall said:

The Circle rolls badly.

BeerIsAwesome said:

i look forward to someone watching this on twitch and telling us all the announcements 20 seconds ahead of time

Voltan said:

@jdv95 - nah, Knock Out City

NEStalgia said:

I want this wallpaper

jdv95 said:

you mean the ps5 patch for kingdom of amalur? it's already out

Octane said:

I like this PS carpet

HEYOOOOO

jdv95 said:

that said kingdoms of amalur being a plus game is great imo.

Voltan said:

@jdv95 - right, they could still be announcing it here - I don't think the KOC PS5 upgrade had an official date?

KidBoruto said:

Yeah the leaks are most likely correct again

jdv95 said:

i think we already know the plus lineup since the leak is from the same source all the other plus leaks happened.

Octane said:

I doubt LDI will be a PS+ game anyway

Voltan said:

I think they might announce a PS+ game in this but I doubt it will be LDI (I'm guessing LDI is 2022)

Luminous117 said:

Hey all

Octane said:

they'll create a time loop

Ryall said:

I thought we had escaped the loop.

Voltan said:

@Octane - 30 minutes of Deathloop in a 20 minute SoP somehow

Octane said:

Porkwards Legends

KidBoruto said:

Here, hoping for Hogwarts Legacy and more FF16

ooo id love to see the hogwarts game good call

Octane said:

30 minutes of deathloop

the radiohead thing woul be great @Grumblevolcano

not sure if they'll even touch on PS Plus - last time they delayed PS Plus announcement due to state of play I seem to think they didn't announce PS Plus till a few days later

Grumblevolcano said:

Deathloop DLC

NateGoesLive said:

Will be with ps plus**

NateGoesLive said:

Little devil inside.,, with be ps plus

Hogwarts Legacy gameplay please

Grumblevolcano said:

I hope we get more info on the Radiohead announcement from the September PS Showcase
