Poll: Does Sony Need a Big PS5 Showcase This Summer?

Yes, we need a new big event or showcase that reveals new PS exclusive games outside God of War, Horizon etc, as long as they're platformers or different (I mean no realistic third-person adventure games). They have more than 25 games in development, so make one.

I wasn't a fan of this approach when Nintendo adopted it last year (tiny, non-descript mini-presentations that mostly left the audience wanting), and I'm still not a fan of it now that Sony is doing it. Particularly after Nintendo and Microsoft have both given their players an idea of what they can expect in the immediate future for their respective systems at E3.

Other than a couple of cross-gen releases (and Deathloop, I suppose), I have no idea what the future looks like for PS5. It'll continue to automatically get the usual third-party multiplat support, of course, but that's not really enough in a world with something like GamePass, frankly.

Yes, yes, and yes. An hour long dive into 2021, 2022, and beyond PS Studios stuff is loooooong overdue.

hey Sony just give us Bloodborne remaster n SyphonFilter remake and all is forgiven...

after horizon 2, god of war 2, gran turismo 7 whats next ?

At this point, I'm not too sure they'll have a showcase like the PS5 ones they had last year (in June and September) - with a dozen or so big games.
They might do a few smaller ones though. We do know they have some unannounced games in the works - no idea how far out they are though. I guess I kinda like the idea of not showing games that are years away.

@Total_Weirdo Pragmata. I think that's coming in 2023 now.

@pimpjuice. I know right sony will definitely drink that pimpjuice if a bloodborne remastered and a syphon. Filter is revealed.haha.yes theyre definitely gonna do a big one this summer.and bluepoint will be bought by sony also.word up son

@Total_Weirdo Pragmata... I think that's a 2023 game (Capcom, IIRC)

Yeah, exclusive-wise we don't really know anything. I mean we know HFW could release this year, GoW is planned for next year, also the director for FF16 said there will be news this year

Playstation Experience December 9th 2021. Remember, you read it here first 😉😁

I think we do need an event actually to get people hyped on Playstation again, quieten the naysayers, and to give a proper roadmap for the second half of the year. We've hardly seen anything of ghostwire tokyo so its anyone's guess if that will still make this year. And Final Fantasy 16 is well overdue an update

I suppose things are starting to shape up with exclusives :

Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut and Kena in Aug

Deathloop and Death Stranding Directors Cut in Sept

Ghostwire Tokyo in October

Horizon in November????

Little Devil Inside, Solar Ash and Stray are meant to be out this year too.

I think we just need everything set out nicely like Nintendo have done recently. And i think Sony need the PR boost

Oh and less revealing info via interviews with GQ magazine. It comes across as very pretentious. Engage with customers directly via the blog

Do they need a big showcase? No. Should they do one? Absolutely.

YES!!! and NO... imagine how much greater PlayStation could be if it was managed by someone with even half a clue.

I think they will announce games eventually to complement the likes of GOW, Horizon, GTA and FF16. They canned a days gone sequel which would have probably done at least decently. My feeling is they have games in the pipeline they think will do better than days gone.

Yep. PS5 has had an amazing launch year for games, but it's important to know that there is more coming, especially 1st party games.

Until people around the world can actually go out and buy a PS5 i don't see any point.
Dangling a carrot in front of the donkey that it can't eat isn't fun.
It's fine for all those that have one and i can understand them wanting more, however there are plenty who can't get one yet and until supply catches up with demand maybe they don't want Sony rubbing salt into the wound.

Too much in the air right now, with all the COVID delays and such. I think they're keeping their cards close to their chest, not wanting to make too many promises or reveals I think. That said, I'd love an update on Ghostwire: Tokyo, which has been 100% radio silence since the big reveal last year.

Only if they have something worth showing. There is nothing worse than a show case full of fluff.
Now if they show a bit more HZDFW and release date this year 2021.
A few games coming next year like god of war etc.
Then we have a show case.

@TheMysticOne
Got two PS5 disc today Argos you UK about 9am.
Already picked them up at 10am, you just have to try a bit.
They are for friends I’m not a scalper, they are very happy friends. That are taking me out for a meal as treat for getting them.

@get2sammyb Hey Sammy ur in the industry, have u heard or seen anything Bloodborne remaster related???

Interesting way to phrase the question. Do they need it? Well no, obviously not. They can't keep PS5s on the shelves and there is almost nothing to play on it that can't be played on a PS4. That is my opinion from a Sony business stand point.

For my personal stand point, I don't know that they need a huge showcase with reveals of new games, teasers of games years out or new gameplay from every thing in production.

I just want to know that 1 big exclusive is coming this year, most likely Horizon although God Of War getting a release date would be a pleasant surprise.

This is one of the worst gaming droughts I've ever seen. I will scroll through the ps store for a half hour and not find anything. I've already bought and played a bunch of sub par games like Watch Dogs Legion just to have something to do.

I currently find more value playing old games on ps now because I can't find anything worth purchasing anymore.

In conclusion we definitely need a heavy hitter this year and neither death stranding or ghost of tsushima remakes qualify for that. Then a road map of things to come would be nice. We are at the point where we should get a big game every 6 months or so.

@playstation1995 Chyea boiii, word to ur motha, praise tha sun..

@Rob_230 Feel like Ghostwire will get delayed tbh

Not on games, no. Most people buy PlayStation because it’s the latest PlayStation, and those more hardcore gamers who frequent gaming sites and are likely to know about “blow out” events will already know about the games announced.
I know gamers can be impatient, but at this point in my life I have more than enough to be playing that I don’t need to know about things months or years in advance. In fact I’d rather not.

I do think it would be great to have a big PSVR2 demonstration though. Something to truly differentiate them from the competition.

They need to do something. There is absolutely zero reason for me to own my ps5.
I'm regretting it already it's just not very good all round, the UI is a worse mess than the PS4 and I didn't even think that was possible.
I'm moving back to Xbox I think.

I want more info from Sony but I don’t expect it. Comparing how the company currently handles its media feels completely different than just a few years ago.

For what games do they need a big showcase? Except HFW there is nothing around the corner.

People saying no are the same people complaining about the State of Play.

Fickleness infects this audience.

They did say there would be more throughout the summer so, it's just a case of wait and see now.

@thefourfoldroot I agree with this. The last thing I want to see these days is what they did when they revealed The Last Of Us 2. If a game is more than 2 years out, knowing about it is frankly a waste of time.

They need a big show whether that's soon or at a PSX later in the year but if they plan to do that, they should announce it. They're out of touch with a lot of the community that's getting tired of their current strategy and announcing an event would negate some of that. People want to see games that matter in the bigger picture.

They should time it right. Not really a fan of the small showcases. Doesn't need to be a full E3 conference, but if it has a Horizon trailer, maybe the first GOW trailer, and another big game, GT7 or Forspoken, add in a couple of indie announcements. Just something new and something to get excited about. Just save up the trailers until you have enough.

Big event will come September and crush Microsoft. Simple as that.

I maybe wrong of course, but I think we ll have another State of play in August and then, a new look PlayStation experience to show what's coming next year and beyond, and have the panels and discussions. When that new PSX will happen I have no clue.

Edit
Considering the Game Award has become very popular I think Sony event maybe like a couple months before.

@Dezzy70 funnily i've just been to Argos site, sold out.
I looked the other week when the Ratchett & Clank bundle came out, all sold out everywhere when i looked, yet loads on ebay straight away.
personally i'm not in a rush, i was thinking of the masses.

Maybe i was a bit over the top, yes i like to see whats coming up in the future, but maybe get a bit more on top of the supply issues and have a massive christmas bonanza with previews and releases.

Glad you got a couple through retailers, hopefully it won't be that long before they are more readily available.

They absolutely need to do one, we need to have a PS5 roadmap. They need to show people the reasons why they should buy a PS5, but while the PS5's continue to fly off the shelves they just won't do it.
I don't think we'll get anything this summer, maybe a short one for Kena.
Also, where's my new FF16 information that we were promissed this year???!

PS4 Era: embrace the community
PS5 Era: snub the community

Sony who? Is Playstation still a thing? That's that company that makes designer sneakers to scalp in the shape of an (upside down) console, right? I forgot about them. Haven't really heard much about them. I watched E3, and saw big showcases for Xbox and Nintendo and all, so I just thought Playstation folded.

I come here to get news on games that I'm going to buy on Xbox or Switch. And Sammy doesn't disappoint by telling me how great Game Pass is (IKR)....oh and there was HFW and R&C coverage, so there's that.

@TheMysticOne
Totally agree we need more stock, also more consoles sold the more games etc you sell.
Argos is best at 7am onwards and once it is in your basket keep trying the store you want, took me 30 minutes but I got them.

They should announce the updated ps5 which is releasing in 2022, while also showcasing upcoming games other than GOD or Horizon. An insight of what to expect in the future would be nice, showing some of what their first party studios are working on.

I'm in the minority here I guess. They only need to show what is almost ready. I think it's pretty clear at this point that only Horizon and Deathloop can be shown at this point and I'm okay with that.

I'm hopeful that we'll get some GT7 info by end of year, but if it happens it happens. I do expect there to be a pretty big marketing push in September through November, but will more than likely be focus on what is already out or releasing at the end of year.

Release the Dragon a Legend of Dragoon remaster or remake please keep the old gameplay in tact.

@NEStalgia
Don’t get me started on Nintendo.
They are resting on their laurels and are doing next to nothing in house studio wise AAA games, they take ages to do anything.
Remember most game Luigi mansion, you should etc are not in house studios.
My Switch is dusty after the amazing launch line up and first year. That was years ago.
It’s not like they have to think about 4K, 4K texture assets, hdr, ray tracing etc etc. They are simple graphics compared to now a days.
It’s like everybody wanted a super flash Switch with all graphical bells and whistles.
If Nintendo had to make a game of say last of us 2, HZD graphical fidelity etc it would take them about ten years.
Their in house teams are tiny compared to say Ubisoft etc.

Absolutely Sony needs to have a big show to get people hyped for what's to come. With shortages of consoles still happening they need to keep people interested no matter what.

No roadmap please i know they are not going to make some deadlines and i know people/fanboys or some sites will start to go mental.

I have games penciled in until March 2022 on PS5

And seeing how most of them are not on GamePass or Switch they are not relevant (not used my Switch since Bravely 2)... "E3 Presentation" is not a game I can play.

I need big games every month - Today. Not game logos and Studio name drops on some "RoadMap" on YouTube.

It's a roadmap that we need.
Just feels like everything is slipping into 2022 and they are slowly giving us the bad news.
Next will be Ghostwire Tokyo. Then worst case Horizon FW could still slip.

@Dezzy70 You are an amazing friend good sir 😁

They can take their time in my opinion. Sure I'd like to know what's on the horizon(no pun intended) but I also remember people weren't happy when they announced most of their entire PS4 lineup at E3 that one year and had to wait years for some to finally come out.

I didn't mind it but I remember poor Bend constantly got trouble for how long Days Gone was taking so im sure Sony just doesn't want to deal with that again.

just show me all you can about Elden Ring )))))

and SIFU looks like returnal fighting edition

@Keyblade-Dan
They have paid me so that’s good, else me poor credit card had £900 on it 😂

@Dezzy70 Yeah, no kidding. Their output has been laughable for years. I've said often, but 3DS remains my favorite system of all time. It should have been Vita, but Sony screwed that up beyond compare and 3DS took the crown. Switch was poised to replace 3DS as my favorite system at launch, I mean year 1 into 2 was just amazing gaming, but then it just flatlined.

This year it's getting a lot better, but none of that was due to their own content. MH Rise, Monstie Hunter = Capcom, Ys9 , Disgaia 6(already on PS but I'd rather play handheld) = NIS, SMT5, Nocturne = Sega. The big headliner from them is Metroid which should have been out years ago. Plus 2022 stuff. Switch isn't collecting dust anymore, but it's 3rd parties that get the credit for that.

I don't know how it took them 3 years to produce games again, looks like 2022 they'll send the console onward with a bang, but they're just so mismanaged in terms of production schedule. But I guess why not? Everyone buys everything they put out there even if it's a full priced old port. Their big game of the year is a 10 year old Zelda game that failed. And it'll be #1 guaranteed. Why spend on Ubi size teams when a stripped down bare bones Animal Crossing and Golf game can top the charts for weeks at the cost of peanuts?

But it's ok. They have new hardware. Which is the same hardware but with a new screen for more money. I want Vita 2.

@Flaming_Kaiser Imagine how awesome a sequel or prequel would be, the original game had such good art direction so it would be good to see that world with modern graphics. It's an absolute bummer that Japan Studio closed.

No , they don't exist to most people . How about they just absolutely , completely focus on crapping these things out by the millions instead of anything else right now ? Get these freaking plastic toys out there already - its not food , its not oil , its not clothing fabrics , its nothing essential but yet its out-of-stock compared to anything that's important .

ridiculous .

Naaaah, I'm not interested in games coming out in 2024.

Anyone claiming they don't know what Sony's doing for the next year must be living under a rock.

Sony needs to do a show twice a year

they need to do something its been the same since they ditched E3 and Shawn Layden left

@NEStalgia
I played Skyward sword on the wii don’t want to play it again, the same with Mario 3d world on the wii u.
Mario kart 8 gets away with it a little as it has local and online multiplayer fun.
So overall a bit fed up with Nintendo and yes your right, if people keep buying Switch, Nintendo will take the cheaper and easier option.
You would think after the spanking they got with the Wii U, they would be a bit more consumer friendly and better with AAA game output.
It not like they have to make home and portable games now as it is all one.
As for Switch sales, they are good, but what was the wii and 3ds combined overall. As the Switch is sort of both now.

I'm getting tired of this discussion.

@Dezzy70 Yeah. The change in leadership definitely plays a role. Iwata made mistakes during the Wii era, but he learned from them and publicly acknowledged them. And he had a tendency to push internally to improve things and keep advancing. The new management, a bunch of bankers, more or less, got in there, saw the profit line as stable/growing and did the conservative Kyoto thing of deciding to just ride it until there's nothing to ride, and produce the bare minimum as long as its profitable. Japanese business is conservative by western standards, but Kyoto business is conservative by Japanese standards! Plus they're so obsessed now with not pushing gaming as their product but pushing the IPs themselves. Book bags, movies, pants, designer watches, body pillows! They don't want to make any games unless the game serves to enhance the IP and it's merchandisability. Financially, I suppose I can't argue with them, it's working, why mess with success? Same reason Sony probably shouldn't do a Game Pass type thing (yet.) But man it sucks to be a fan right now. Though it does look like we get our blowout of their content before the gen ends (wonder how the next gen starts, then? )

Wii was special in terms of how it sold, but it didn't translate into the kind of software + sub + mtx sales the Switch can garner, and Switch may will superceed Wii, but it sure can't superceed Wii + DS combined. Not sure that kind of magic can happen again. They had what eventually became smartphone gaming all to themselves, kind of by dumb luck.

Yea it needs a E3 level showcase. They may rack up views on their trailers, but one look at the Twitter feed from this last State of Play will tell you that people aren't happen with how they do things. I honestly think people should start showing their displeasure with their wallets. Personally I haven't liked the mysterious ways Sony does things since Jim Ryan took over and have still yet to buy a PS5. Ive had an opportunity to buy one and I turned it down until Sony gets back to how the show was ran when Shawn Layden was there.

They need to show us a showcase of over 30 games, all CGI trailers with no gameplay except one, and claim domination! They just don't understand the Internet and its desire to see late 2022 - 2024 games.

Sadly they won't do anything, but Microsoft is stepping closer and closer and the press around is getting better and better

Sony don’t need to do a show it’s just we Sony fans want a show…

@lacerz Absolutely. How else can Sony sate the desire for hype and optics unless they layout a roadmap of CGI trailers with names attached? Don't they know that gaming is all about dreaming of the future and not providing good games in the present? Well...at least until the same people demanding more hype start criticizing them for showing everything too early and not having enough new hype to show.

They don’t need to do anything. Do I want them to do something? Of course. Do I think they will do something? Yes. People need to just relax. They’ll show their cards as and when and it will be glorious when they do.

If sony wanted a "drop the mic" kind of move, someone should come out on to the stage and simple say, "We have 30 million units ready to ship"

I got a PS5 on launch day and still haven’t purchased a PS5-only game because everything is crossover. Total FAIL on Sony part as far as I’m concerned…

@Oriion having said that, I have enjoyed the crossover games and I love my PS5, but come on, we need more PS5 only games

@LeeHarveyOzgod the games play much better on ps5 though , and i skipped the ps4 pro , so you can run most ps4 games better on the ps5 which a base ps4 can't do.

Sure it would be nice. I think folks want them to have a big blow out so that the gaming community/gaming social media can say "ooohhh!! PS answered back to what XBox did in E3." or something of that manner.
I know folks want to know what is after H:FW , GOW:R and GT7...but then i'm like, why? First, those games aren't even out yet. Secondly, newer games aren't going to be coming til late 2022 or 2023 the earliest. That's a while from now! Play the games that are out now or are coming really soon. (plus there are tons of games from 3rd parties and indies, let alone the backlog that most of y'all have). Lastly, do folks want new games or do they just want remasters/remakes of old stuff - it's getting kind of played out.
Everyone wants to know what's next and arent' looking to just focus on the / enjoy the now. That's how unrealistic expectations happen. Get it together people!

@Oriion you knew what games were coming out this year , so that is more on you then sony.

@twitchtvpat outside of better load times I couldn't care less. Even bad games look good these days.

@scarecrowknife the console hasn't even been out a year and you are already complaining , no one forced you to buy a console at launch.

I think that a show would be a good idea,I know I’m gonna get lit up but, ps5 has been a big disappointment up to this point. I don’t Really need more “ remastered games” yes I know they look great but I’m not paying 70 bucks for a game I already played.I would like to. Have some new stuff that shows off this 1000 dollar machine. Sitting in my living room.I know it will be great soon but I just want it now. Lol

@twitchtvpat so your saying people should not be unhappy if they buy a PS5 and can’t get any games since Sony hasn’t showcased many PS5 only games? Lmao. The product must have games. Clearly Sony is losing the generational war to Microsoft at the moment. I don’t own an Xbox but you’re blind or a zealot if you’re going to make excuses for Sony. They need to fix things in 2022 fast.

@Oriion of course games are going to come out , its not like they are being kept a secret though , do you really want them to announce games that won't be out for 3-5 years now? not to mention the ps5 launched during a pandemic which people seem to be forgetting. you are just being over dramatic

@twitchtvpat I replied to myself in my original post saying I still love the PS5 and enjoy the crossover games, I just think it’s ridiculous there are like 4 PS5 only games 8 months after release. Rewind to PS4 release and while there were crossovers, there were a TON of PS4 only titles. (Personally loved Shadowfall despite public opinion)

@Oriion , i get where you are coming from. but when you think about it , you know there are plenty of games coming. you have the 3 new studio's they are partnering up with , the not so secret new san diego studio , the rumored other stuff like the exclusive fromsoftware and remedy game, sony bend's new game , Guerrilla Games is working on a 2nd ps5 aside from horrizon , and we all know spiderman 2 is going to be made as well. that's just to name a few things to look forward to. i would just rather they wait till they actually have something to show off other then , hey guys this is being made.

@twitchtvpat I agree the future is still bright, it’s just weird since the past 3 years we’ve seen nonstop releases of PS4 games and 2021 when PS5 comes around, it’s been dry. I guess we can blame it on Covid. It just worries me that since PS4 sales skyrocketed in early 2020 when people were stuck at home that Sony is purposely delaying PS5 only games to cater to all the PS4 users.

trust me i'm right there with you , in wanting more announcements , but atm the way i see it , is that hopefully things going back to whatever we consider as normal , hopefully game development will get back on track. i still hope just like every one else we get some big announcements. i guess since i have a pretty good amount of games to finish up i'm a little bit more patient.

It's not just Sony, the whole gaming industry is just repurposing old games. There's a lot to like about that but it should be dessert, not the main course.

Every moment Sony stays quiet, XB starts looking more and more like the platform to be on. XB have the more straight forward power for 3rd party games, the gamer friendly platform decisions (not just crossplay and play anywhere.. remember Skyrim mods? Smh), the better subscription service which will even have streaming soon and no doubt better streaming than PSNow (nevermind Bethesda's additional work on streaming tech).

All Sony had was the games and VR. VR is a big deal to me but XB has games now too, stealing the only dev I put on a higher pedestal than Naughty Dog, and that purchase also took a ton of AAA VR support. Skyrim is agruably the best PSVR game, inarguably one of the best. Bethesda Softworks also had VR support for Doom, Wolfenstein, and Prey. As a whole that publisher means a lot to the future of VR.

This E3 shattered the illusion that XB would have another dry gen. Then Sony folllowed up with an indie outreach program culminating in a reminder of how awesome one of XB's new studios is haha. Im still team Sony but this is the first time Sony has had so little to put in front of me, and with no disruption to my line of sight my eyes drift and I notice a patch of grass in the distance, and as I stare it seems to grow greener. Block my view Sony. The heat is on and it's like your body doesnt realize it should be sweating. This is hazardous to ur health. You have so much work to do to match XB this gen. Games are far from enough and you arent even showing much there when it was your strong suit.

You guys are acting as if Sony actually gave a damn about communication. No, they probably won't do one because they are on cruise control. Have been since mid PS4 lifecycle. They know their loyal fanbase will just wait and gobble up any breadcrumbs they throw their way. This is what got me pissed off enough to buy a Series X first this gen. Got a PS5 but none of the new releases interest me (Ratchet, Demons Souls, MM, Returnal, Resi 8). I'm mostly playing PS4 era games, which is fine. I'm waiting for Horizon and God of War and I won't buy them till they drop in price anyway.

We all want one but inevitably they won't do one. I wish they would because we hardly know anything beyond a couple of titles for 2022 and that's only cause they got delayed. A blog isn't a place to get all the info on new releases or announcements. State of Plays featuring more than one game is the step in the right direction. But I want a big show and multiple deep dives and trailers.

@NEStalgia
Very well summarised and put together.
It really hits the point where Nintendo are and what they are about.
As for a blow out of AAA games maybe next year or so I’m not sure. Of course BOTW2 but the slow pace and strategy they have adopted and you mentioned, it would not surprise me if it goes quiet after BOTW 2 for in house AAA big hitters until the Switch 2.

Well, right now, there's no PS4/PS5 game for the rest of 2021, which I'm burning for. The only one right now is Lost Judgment.
On Switch on the other hand, there are like 7 games, I can't wait for.
So I'm super chilled, no matter what Sony will announce.
And even if nothing special comes, I still have a big backlog of games like many people.
So no complaints

@Residentsteven He was better than Jim Ryan in all fairness and it has gone down hill since then in terms of actually seeing anything from them

I think Sony does need a big PS5 showcase but they won't do one, instead continuing to do this approach which is similar to how Nintendo handled 2020. My guess is we'll something like this for news among the usual blog posts:

• August - State of Play on 3rd party and indie games with a focus on Ghostwire Tokyo, Gamescom Opening Night Live has a Horizon Forbidden West trailer
• September - More Horizon Forbidden West gameplay and/or a trailer shadow dropped (also a release date if it's releasing in 2021), State of Play on 3rd party and indie games with no specific focus, Square Enix Presents reveals more info on Forspoken and/or FFXVI
• October/November - More Horizon Forbidden West gameplay and/or trailers (if it's releasing in 2021)
• December - God of War sequel trailer, GT7 trailer, TLoU announcements and a few others all at the Game Awards

I don't care for the Sony/Nintendo approach (funny that these old rivals are often quite similar in their styles; Astro's Playroom in fact feels just like a Nintendo game) of just dribbling tiny tidbits of information out whenever the hell they feel like it, to be honest. I prefer the Microsoft approach - keep everyone regularly updated even if it's incremental.

I still don't understand why it's so difficult to have a webpage which timeline all the main first-party game release dates as a simple list, and if you click on the game name it gives you a diary of mini-updates, like when it's scheduled to go gold, if there are delays and a very brief reason why.

I think rather than encourage mystique and rabid speculation, which is where the gaming community often finds itself, they should just give people some information that's easy to access. Basic facts and updates will do, just to tear down the rumour mill before it's even fully built.

People who, for example, have families and have to limit the amount of cash they can drop on their hobby would probably appreciate more information. This way they can plan ahead for which ones they want to buy the most, especially with new PS5 releases being £70.

The PS5 is in need of a showcase because at the moment, it looks like the old PS4 is in a stronger position with all the big 1st party studio titles and the majority of 3rd party titles still coming for it.

I'm sure I'd be impressed if I got a PS5 but at the moment, can't say I'm fussed. Nothing has been announced that makes me want one.

A proper PSX would be lovely later in the year, even if it is a digital only event.

Yes, desperately. Give reasons to justify having a PS5, especially for those of us who've had it since day 1.

I find it annoying that Sony doesn't even let us know that some bigger event will eventually happen.
I'm fine with them canceling PSX and E3 and everything else as long as they just tell us that something on the scale of E3 will eventually happen again. E3 2016 was legit the most hype ***** show I've ever experienced. I guess it was a mix between me underestimating the show and its blowing everything else out of the water.

E3 2016 was to follow up E3 2015 which was in itself the E3 conference of dreams with the revival of like 3 projects that were thought to be dead, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake. And somehow still it managed to be the best show of all time easily. All killer no filler.

We know Sony Playstation has at least 50 games in development with at least 25 of them being "new IP" according to Herman Holst. I understand that Sony wants to hold it's cards close to it's chest but at a time when we're seeing a massive roadmap for what's coming to game pass over the next 6 months, we NEED something to give us an idea of what's coming to PS5/4 over the next 6 months.

I understand why Sony went with the "Nintendo Direct" route as far as game showcases go, that being said they've REALLY dropped the ball these past couple of State of Play showcases. They've refused to give us a roadmap of what's coming to PlayStation and that in my opinion is giving Microsoft the edge. They've cemented the fact that a bunch of great looking games are day one to game pass & what does PlayStation have? Aside from multiplatforms, We've got death loop, Kena Bridge of Spirits confirmed for 2021 & that leaves God of war when ??? Horizon Forbidden West when ??? Gran Turismo when??? We have no clue when these games will be released & it's a shame cuz usually Sony has badass showcases with a healthy roadmap of games for fans to look forward to. Happy gaming ✌️

What Sony needs is a big (ish) game for the end of the year. If they aren’t holding something back or Horizon slips to 2022, then they don’t need a big event to announce nothing.

They need something because my interest in the PS5 is seriously waining. I haven’t turned mine on for months.

@LeeHarveyOzgod not really , the game always runs better and smoother on the ps5. if you could play the game at a locked in 60 fps , vs 30 fps with frame drops which would you pick.

@twitchtvpat I honestly don't worry about that *****, I worry about if a game is fun. Nothing wrong with 30 fps running well.

dunno why people saying xflop have an edge over Sony?? 2 games were good in their show. Stalker 2 and the new horizon. Rest all trash. I will be getting Stalker 2 on steam anyway, cancelled game pass ages ago. It's ***** on the PC, especially when you reinstall windows. We are know Sony has loads of upcoming top games, so stop all your crying. There is no rush since the shortage of PS5s is going to continue to until 2023!!

@ThroughTheIris56 Anything would be awsome the game was brilliant i loved that simple little trigger that made you do extra damage. But the characters were awsome two what am i talking about i loved it all.

@twitchtvpat I rather see rocksolid 30 FPS then a choppy 60.

I think we’re gonna get one or two more of the same kind of State of Play’s we saw earlier this month.

Announcing compatibile m.2 SSDs is what they need...have my 250EUR lying around, dont know what to do with it :/

@NEStalgia You're out of your mind. Playstation owns more than half of the console gaming market. They have the best exclusives, with compelling, story-driven narratives that are like playing a movie. Nintendo just re-releases ten-year-old games and tricks their cult into buying their garbage on nostalgia alone.

@Flaming_Kaiser unless you have a ps4 pro , you probably won't get a solid 30 fps in these newer games. i've always said if you have a ps4 pro you could hold off buying a ps5 , but going from a base ps4 to ps5 was a pretty big jump since i never purchased a ps4 pro.

the rumor flying around is you'll see an event sometime this summer with horizon , god of war , and possible psvr2 reveal. not sure how true it is.

@twitchtvpat I wish i could get one now but im not jumping through hoops to get one maybe next year. I have a pro but i also have a PS4 and because i go away a lot i end up using the PS4 more. 😅

@Flaming_Kaiser you should be good for a little while then , the pro runs game much better then the base ps4 , still not the same as the ps5 , but you aren't missing out on as much. i'd say in a year or two it will be much easier to get a ps5 , and there will be way more games to play on it.

@twitchtvpat But i really want to play Demon Souls and Returnal. 🤪
