@rjejr "Yet no PS4 version, which last I checked had about double the install base of PS5, and no Xbox version of any kind. "

Yeah practically this. If it can run on Switch it can run on PS4 which still has a gigantic userbase, so it can't be that they want as many people as possible to play it! Apart from that it could have easily been made for the Series consoles and Xbone as well... what's really going on here 🤔

@TrickyDicky99 "PSVR2 guys need to take the hint"

Pretty sure they know already, is not that big of a secret or puzzle to solve 🤷

I can't believe Sony repeated Vita's mistakes, what makes PSVR2's failure more incredible is that the Portal and PS5 are flying off the shelves at the same time PSVR2 is failing!

@tabris95 "Push Square always scores lower than everyone else if the game isn't a major Sony exclusive."

Nope! Push Square sometimes gives PlayStation exclusives lower scores than everywhere else. Spider-Man 2 a 8, Rise of the Ronin a 6, The Show 24 (first party made) a 7 just to name a few recent ones. They march to the beat of their own drum and I can respect that, it means they keep their readers on their toes 😁

Well Series X/S can upscale and run most PS2 games at 4K 60fps with PCSX2, I figured Sony would be just as good or better at the whole PS2 thing 😅

Again how can a few amateur developers make a better PS2 emulator (on similar competing hardware) than Sony themselves? Could someone with technical knowledge explain it to me?

@nessisonett Yeah same here, I don't think I've seen a single price drop yet. I suppose that is good news for Sony that it has retained it's value even if that means us poors have to wait a bit more ☹️

"“too safe” and “basic”."

So what you're saying is that it's a classic Ubisoft game? 🤔

Definitely part of the Astro Bot fanclub, will be there day one! As for LEGO Horizon well... no thanks I'll pass 😅 I like real LEGO but the games usually all play the same with the same humor.

@UltimateOtaku91 Dude c'mon you know damn well this felt like the E3 presentations of old, how many games were actually Xbox exclusive is irrelevant. In fact if it wasn't for Astro Bot I would call this a better showcase for PlayStation then their crappy, boring State of Play.

All these games that been showcased recently with these same aesthetics look the same to me, I honestly can't tell them apart 🙁

It looks great and I didn't even know it was The Max till this article so I'm all in! Also looks like they went with save Arcadia Bay ending although it's too early to really tell.

Damn this looks amazing, you can tell the developers poured everything they had.

@trev666 You're off the mark here, how is this not news? Statement was made from a senior developer (doesn't matter where the statement was made) why they didn't implement Gyro controls which many people were interested in.

He in very clear words said it's because of Xbox so why are you blaming Push Square for that? If anything you should be screaming at Xbox to get Gyro into their controllers like everyone else, they have the money to implemented by tomorrow morning!

Yeah unfortunately this model is done on about 100% of fighters today give or take 😐 I won't waste time complaining as I would be wasting my time, usually I just wait for ultimate edition's although I probably won't wait for this game.

@get2sammyb "I hope everyone that complains about all the "samey sad Dad sims" will put their money where their mouth is with these two titles."

I will definitely be getting Astro Bot day one so I will be backing up my mouth there! As for LEGO Horizon Adventures yeah no way it's a LEGO game! They all basically play the same with the exact humor and sometimes same jokes, this one looks like a prettier version of the same thing 🤷

In return Nintendo will give Sony absolutely nothing, less nothing actually so why? Microsoft also gives Nintendo some games and in return they also give them nothing. Why is Nintendo only expected to receive and not give?

@KillerBoy "It’s looks like a generic hero shooter filled with woke characters.".

I'll bite what woke characters? Most are aliens, generic af but still aliens, do you mean the asian lady? Being a Asian female means woke, so EVE from Stellar Blade is woke? 🤔

@AgentGuapo Yeah same it's kind of annoying going back to something you moved on from 😅
Luckily it's a great fun game so I'll jump back in but I hope they don't make a habit out of it.

@nomither6 "people use the word woke for everything nowadays the word is gonna eventually not hold any weight anymore" fix it 😉

As for Suicide Squad the game itself is rock solid. Of course by that I mean the graphics, performance and gameplay. Is everything else that's *****, it has some of the worst writing I've ever seen and the live service loop makes it boring.

The co-founders may have jumped from the Titanic as soon as they saw the iceberg but they were stearing the ship most of the way through so they need some backlash too!

Sony knows what it's doing (for this at least), they know the demand for Bloodborne so I'm sure they have something in the cards. Bluepoint could possibly be involved that's why I'm dying to know what that studio is up to.

@AK4tywill "What creative control was wrestled away from the director of Hogwarts Legacy?"

The answer to that as you know is none, they just wanted a cool sounding name to give to their re-release 😅 like you said words don't really mean anything anymore, especially to these execs that just want to maximize profit.

I seriously doubt this will be another Helldiver's 2 for Sony, so far the reception has been negative at best and very negative at worst. I would have been on board if the game was like the cinematic trailer instead of another 5v5 shooter.

Sad thing is this will still be better received than Fairgame$ who's name preemptively killed it's hype, we better brace for impact as we get through some of Jim's last little gifts he left us.

Why? the creator will just waste another game not advancing the story (sup Shenmue 3 👀)

@AdamNovice But they were the ones that put 8K on the box, we didn't make them put it there why are you mad at us? Is it a big deal? No! But is still misleadings at best.

@Ralizah Why buy a Steam deck when you can have a dedicated PlayStation portable with access to all your library including games bought for your PS5/PS4?

Me buying Stellar Blade on my PS5 and with that copy I can play it on my PlayStation portable, how does the Steam Deck beat that? The Steam Deck only wins if the person is strickly a PC gamer.

@get2sammyb I took your comment as you saying there's barely any money to be made doing portables and there's no demand when that's not the case. Sony did it with the PSP and they can do it again, being more successful than these portable PCs assuming they go all in. They of course won't beat Nintendo but they can still have the second most popular dedicated gaming portable!

"these devices aren’t selling in tremendously high numbers;"

Umm is the Switch/Switch lite not selling in tremendous numbers? 😅 Think you forgot who these companies were originally chasing with these portables!

If there ever was a rumor I pray was true is this one, we need the return of Sony in the portable space with hopefully the PSP2 (hope that's what they call it!) 🤞🤞

Fine Geoff I won't waste my time watching your show, you really don't have to be so pushy about it 🙄

@Porco "sounds like a last ditch effort before psvr2 goes on life support"

We're past that I think is already dead! this is just Sony trying to get rid of the stock they have as last we heard they aren't currently manufacturing any.

PSVR2 It's currently on its Vita period where a few third party developers are making games here and there but ultimately everyone will abandon it, at least we still have that rumored portable with PS4 specs 😕

Since it's a free update I'm not going to complain too much, I'm having a blast so far there's so much content! That said I wish they would bundle all the dlc Into one purchase and the roster is gigantic! I don't know who else they could possibly add besides characters from the OG Dragon Ball.

I'm guessing this is specifically for PS5 owners who also have a gaming rig because there's no way a PC player would buy an abandoned headset that's more expensive and has less features than the other options.

I repeat what most have said here that it made me feel like a kid again playing PS1 & N64 games. It will be an automatic day one! I just hope it's priced accordingly so that it has a chance at reaching the general public.

@UltimateOtaku91 Well yeah Xbox is not really selling anything right now 😅 we were really talking about optics and which one people will say had the best showcase. In the end it won't make a difference if Xbox has the best showcase in the world, still some of us would like to see more effort from Sony like they still have stiff competition.

Well I choose Astro Bot and in second place the CGI trailer of concord which includes my initial thought that we were getting a fun space adventure instead of 5v5 nonsense.

@UltimateOtaku91 "and no doubt you will have people comparing it to Microsofts actual 90 minute showcase next week"

Sony well knew about Microsoft's showcase before making this State of Play so they could have done things differently if they didn't want to be seen as the inferior show 🤷

If it wasn't for Astro Bot I would have called it the biggest waste of time of the year. If you're a Overwatch fan though you were probably having the time of of your life!

@Neverwild Your comment implied they were always a bunch of bums just sitting in their couch eating Cheetos and watching tv. Their last games were in 2020 and they were closed in 2021 so in the best case scenario they went a year without making anything and that warranted studio closure?

Well that's in the past I guess at least there's a couple of those guys left making the charming games they are well known for! now to see if the general public will support Astro Bot like they didn't the other Japan Studio games.

@Neverwild Okay I just took at look at their wikipedia of games they made and are you okay?😅 they developed and co-developed a couple of games EACH year without fail! Every single year they had something to show so what are you talking about?

@Neverwild If you look at Japan Studios catalog they were great, the best at their craft. You say they didn't want to work yet looking at all the games they made they put most other PlayStation studios to shame, just imagine if they did want to work 😁

The game pulled me in with the cgi trailer then the gameplay started and I did the Undertaker with my eyes

Wow and this was one of the games that looked intriguing to me! so I went from I want to see more to pass I don't care to see anymore of this F2P garbage 😒

Didn't know there was a strong desire to play Overwatch without having to play Overwatch 😐 also it's weird Sony showed their game Concord and in the same State of Play showed a direct competitor in Marvel Rivals.

Where are we supposed to get all these infinite hours that these companies think we have to play all these Live service games? Btw we still have two live service games coming from Bungie and then there's Fairgame$ so apparently we have all the time in the world!

Absolutely unnecessary remaster, even more so than the other unnecessary remasters! The game already looks great on PS5 and like some have said it looks worse in some parts. Maybe I will consider a $10 upgrade if they show us what has been improved,.

Looked at the trailer again and the game really oozes heart and passion, the developers really are pouring everything they have into the game. That said like someone above mentioned it needs to be priced accordingly, most people aren't going to spend $70 on a platformer (especially not one without the Nintendo seal).

PC guys ain't watching no PlayStation State of Play so I'm not sure who they are advertising to? Also I love Until Dawn as much if not more than anyone here and yet have no interest in this remaster. The game already runs and looks great on PS5 so why? It could have been a free patch.

The best (and only for some) thing of the show, I expected nothing less from the remnants of Japan Studio! Even just few of the developers left of that wonderful studio are able to put out something beautiful and creative like this!

I thought it was terrible with almost nothing but pvp garbage except a few Japanese games (specially Astro Bot!) that did look interesting but I need to see more. Overall it was a waste of time for me.

Getting two Overwatch clones in one State of Play is insanity! I was invested in the CGI trailer of Concord, the characters were interesting... till the gameplay hit then they all seemed insignificant and small.

@Specky Are you watching the same trailers we are? 😅 I've never seen Dragon Ball look this good before in a game, I've played all of them and I will admit that most are just cheap cash brags. But everything they've shown so far blow those other games recent games out the water.

@LifeGirl He could say the same for you? He has a side and you have yours! Everyone that visits this site already knows where you both stand...btw at what time tomorrow was our anti-woke meeting I seem to have misplaced my calendar 😔

Please! let's stop the focus on cutting edge graphics & sound without anything else (hi Hellblade 2 😒). I'll take Switch graphics if that means I will be having fun instead of playing a wannabe movie that the game director wished he was making instead.
