@ManifoldCuriosity That's correct, this is the offline single player RPG that still hasn't been released yet.

@Judal27 I'm honestly more excited for FF7 Rebirth, that will be a day one purchase no matter what.

Granblue I see myself waiting for a dirt cheap sale, I'm not a fan of the franchise.

This is not at all what I was expecting would be releasing this Fall...

I guess we'll be waiting until 2024 now for a PS5 Slim or Pro.

@MrSensical Oh I agree! I wish they could have partnered with a publisher that cares about physical/retail releases.

@BlueBeemer But there is no retail copy of Alan Wake II, so why should that apply in this case?

@Somebody Same plan here, or wait for it to be included in PS Plus.

@GamingFan4Lyf @Ken_Kaniff We also have both Assassin's Creed: Mirage and Lords of the Fallen to look forward to in October!

@KaijuKaiser Also AC Mirage too! I'm looking forward to playing it.

It'll never work period for me, since I avoid all live-service games.

Sadly this could just be crowd control PR talk, I'll believe it when they announce their next game.

Spidey 2 won the showcase for me, with the loser being that Fairgames BS.

Not surprised at all lol. I'll be waiting for a dirt cheap sale on the DLC.

I still have zero interest in Factions. Only care for The Last of Us 2 PS5 remake/remaster, Last of Us 3, and the Mystery New IP.

Hard pass, not my kind of game.

@AdamNovice @Soulless666 I'm predicting we'll be getting Destiny 3 a year or two after Marathon releases.

100% agreed. I don't see even live service gamers caring about this.

@Fight_Teza_Fight D0000D!!!

Reveal trailer was hype, but hopefully we'll get to see some solid gameplay at Summer Games Fest or Xbox's Showcase.

@BlueBeemer That doesn't make any sense though, they're both digital only versions. There's no physical PC or console version of Alan Wake II.

So why is the Digital PC release $10 cheaper than PS5/Xbox Series Digital? Please explain that to me.

All I know is they better include a native 4K @ 60 FPS option, with ray tracing turned on.

As a PlayStation Showcase it was very meh, we only got a cinematic reveal trailer and 1 gameplay trailer for Spidey 2.

The rest of the showcase might as well have been Summer Games Fest.

Makes me worry about what will be shown off at the actual SGF now on June 8th.

Sounds too stressful for me, I'd end up either accidentally killing nature or killing humanity.

I still plan to buy this game, but may wait for a deep discount now.

Hopefully there will be an eventual physical release, thru a 3rd party like Limited Run Games, Fangamer, etc...

@Martijn87 What's worse is that the PC version is somehow $10 cheaper ($50), despite being the same exact game.

@somnambulance The surprise games turned out to be both Alan Wake II and Assassin's Creed: Mirage releasing in October.

@theMEGAniggle Oh my bad, sorry for misreading! Makes sense now.

I haven't played Part 2 yet, but I imagine they'll have Season 2 end around the halfway point of the game.

Naughty Dog developing a Sci-Fi game would be amazing. They clearly have alot of talent and could pull it off. Even if it doesn't turn out to be Savage Starlight, I'd still play the new IP.

@lolwhatno If you can find a friend that added it to their PSN library and you both have PS+, they can share it with you for free.

@AyanamiReign Same plan here, I'll be waiting for reviews. Even then I'll prob still wait for a $20 New sale in a few years.

@lolwhatno 1st game was free with PS Plus Essentials back in March 2022, I'm guessing you weren't subscribed at the time?

@MayaMousavi Same here! I'm not even sure I'll ever buy it...maybe if the game ever drops on PS Plus?

@skaarj217 Dirt cheap to me is $10 or less, so a few years.

@ShogunRok Thanks! As much as I'd love to play Valhalla, I'm still at the very beginning of AC3 haha.

@W0rl0ck Okay good to know!

Sony definitely could have just done a PlayStation State of Play focusing on fewer games, and dump the rest as separate trailers/blog articles over time.

That said though, there's still a decent lineup of games I'm looking forward to regardless.

2023
Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) - June 22, 2023
Assassin's Creed: Mirage (PS5) - October 12, 2023
Alan Wake II (PS5) - October 17, 2023

TBA 2023

I had a fun time watching with friends, but definitely bummed out that several of my highly anticipated games didn't make an appearance.

At least we have Final Fantasy 16 to look forward to on June 22, and Spider-Man 2 sometime in Fall 2023.

@AdamNovice More than likely this is the reason, they're gonna wait until after Xbox's June 11 showcase at least.

I doubt Sony's too worried about whatever Nintendo releases in Fall 2023 though.

@anon_pel222 That would have been preferred yes. Sadly all we can do is be patient and wait for more information.

I was interested until I saw it was a PSVR2 exclusive. Maybe if I ever can afford a PSVR2 and the time to play VR games.

Trailer was dope, I'll eventually buy the Complete Edition with all DLC and updates for dirt cheap during a future sale.

I would have bought Days Gone 2 eventually, shame it was denied existence.

@LiamCroft "The only first-party release out of the firm so far has been Horizon Call of the Mountain on PSVR2."

If VR games count, then you should be also listing Story DLC like Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores.

I was interested until I learned it was multiplayer, shame it looked like fun.

@RenanKJ So that's why one of my friends jokingly mentioned Bison when this game was being revealed.

@Anke @ShogunRok How do Cat Quest 1 & 2 play solo on PlayStation?

@MidnightDragonDX I also love the concept of cat pirates. Depending on the price, I may buy at launch, otherwise will wait for PS Plus.

I was interested until I learned it was a puzzle game.

Trailer got me hyped, but not getting too excited since China Hero project games seem to be cursed with never releasing.

@ShogunRok @MeerkatSimples I definitely can relate to both of your feelings about these games.

Here's hoping they do eventually release and live up to the hype of their trailers.

Looks cute, I may eventually play this game after it drops on PS Plus.

@Quintumply Hopefully his human friends weren't inside when the house burnt down.

RIP. I honestly don't care though, quality over quantity. Final Fantasy 16 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 are gonna be amazing.

Also I play all multiplats on PlayStation only anyways, so they might as well be exclusives to me as well haha.

@ShogunRok Personally I'd love to see Sony/PlayStation do that, but they never will unfortunately.

Art style looks beautiful, but don't see myself playing unless it comes to PS Plus eventually.

@tatsumi June 11 is only 11 days from the June 22 release date though!

So it's technically 1 week and 4 days, not 2 weeks. Just saying lol.

Depending on the price and release date, I may buy this at launch.

@Intr1n5ic Same here sadly. Though I've never played the original before, nor am I a Halo fan.

@Judal27 @Ashina At least we finally have a seasonal release window now!

Next time it should be a specific month with no day listed lol.

@ManifoldCuriosity This is a brand new game, no connection to Versus (which was a fighting game).

However all the games do take place in the same Granblue universe I believe?

I don't game with friends, so will be passing on this.

If I ever get a PSVR2, I'll definitely be trying this game out.
