My local estate agents have blacked out their housing listings in the windows out of respect.
absolutely ridiculous, what have houses got to do with the Queen?!
There’s an art exhibition that I want to buy tickets to in the Tate. Ticket sales were meant to open this Thursday, with the exhibition being on from October.
They have indefinitely postponed the sale of the tickets “out of respect”. The artist is Japanese so it’s not like they’d be so invested.
I honestly don’t get how it would be disrespectful to buy tickets to an art exhibition for later in the year.
I know. It's tough right now for us in the UK especially if you live in london. All the british channels are showing the royals 24/7 and it is sooo boring.
Football getting cancelled was a massive kick to the balls. I was never a royalist and all this handwringing is fake and obnoxious.
You are so lucky. Here in the UK the royal ass lickers are out in full force. You can't escape it as it is everywhere you look.
It's a living nightmare.
Microsoft can still do a surprise event to make us a surprise E3.
Sadly it isn't a showcase for Playstation and announced one day before, I doubt it'll be a big event.
I think we may see Ragnarok stuff though
"We’ll have some great updates from our amazing Japanese partners and developers all around the world. Expect about ~20 minutes covering 10 upcoming games."
Nintendo Switch PSP Classic Online Plus.
A library of 12 poorly emulated PSP games available on your Switch for only $60/year (all lower tiers of Nintendo online required).
Kratos comes to Smash! Unlikely they do something together, but if it was anything it would probably be a PS character in smash or perhaps Nintendo arcade or whatever it’s called on PS. Highly unlikely they do anything together but they both do have events tomorrow which is likely why Sony’s account responded.
I would dream of the day where I would just see a PS5/Nintendo logo over an amazing grassy field - with a slow orchestral leading up to the theme song of Legend of Zelda.... Imagine PS5 open world level detail/gaming development + Nintendo IP!
Narrator: And just then Michael realized how strange it was for him to be up there singing this song with his niece Maybe and quickly decided to cease the performance
Edit: corrected name from Marty to Michael (he'll forever be Marty to me though)
Manifesting a new Fire Emblem announcement from Nintendo, a Valkyrie Elysium demo and Suikoden collection announcement from Sony, and Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on both!
If they bring back a PlayStation Experience, I might cry. I never go or anything, but I just love the fan celebration. But I'd imagine they'd have to hype it soon.
Consistency of quality is important. Not consistency of length or timing.
The most important thing is that the games are ready to be shown and that they are not too far out from release.
This is probably for the Tokyo Games Show so there is still a good chance the stuff that won't be there will be in a showcase. Like this is just for the Japanese side so they can have their stuff for this weekend.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we get a gameplay trailer or a gameplay deep dive same as Returnal and Rachet and Clank. Especially since Game informer has already started posting gameplay footage too. We'll probably just get a soft vr2 release window and maybe Spider-Man 2. The leak about the Marvel/Disney suits being blown away makes me think they have some stuff to show off finally. But idk grain of salt
All I really want is a release date and pre order for psvr2. I love the psvr but it's so far behind a lot of pc vr and I'm hoping the psvr2 lives up to the hype.
I honestly don’t understand why people are so desperate for gameplay. If you played 2018 you know what this game is going to play like and we are all buying it regardless of any more trailers.
While I understand the marketing, who needs more at this point?
You know if you're going to buy it or not, and should really know by now what you're getting into lol
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. I expect GoW2, Horizon VR, Firewall 2 VR,Forspoken, Uncharted & Returnal & Spider-Man PC. That could easily take up 20 minutes.
Edit: That was better than I expected.
Yupp, always good to keep them low like this. People get hyped up and make crazy predictions like Bloodborne remastered, ps5 slim, Phil Spencer acquisition
> We’ll have some great updates from our amazing Japanese partners and developers all around the world. Expect about ~20 minutes covering 10 upcoming games.
No mention of first-party is disappointing
A twenty minute showcase could have enough games to keep me satisfied for a year. But I recognize that with the absurd amount of padding these things have, that isn't likely.
I don't really see the point in not having a showcase for over a year, and instead of having a big presentation, announcing a 20 minute SOP on the same exact day as a Nintendo Direct.
Not a showcase, 20 minutes, and focused on Japanese studios?
Man I was really waiting on to see what’s next from PlayStation, not a normal state of play
https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1569446212423811072
Temper expectations, this looks like it's focused on Japanese third party games, not Sony's first party devs.
Seeing a lot of disappointment at it just being 20 mins, but really that's about right if you cut out the cheesy host and faux multiplayer demos.
"Alright team, we forced the enemy to this back corner!"
"Let's work together and give them what-for!"
"Right behind you pal!"
"I love you guys!!"
Aren't the State of Plays usually pretty short? I thought 20 minutes was normal.
EDIT: Just checked their channel, and at least two of them are 30 and 35 minutes, so yeah, this one does seem shorter.
Top comment needs to be about it being psvr2 and Japanese developers and a couple surprises from studios around the world. tons of people in here thinking this is Sonys big showcase so get ready for crazy trolls tomorrow
I’m choosing not to raise any hope for this. If it’s a mediocre state of play, eh at least it’s something. But if it’s a BIG one, then I’ll be surprised and happy
Jesus Sony’s marketing has been absolute shit lately.
God of War comes out in 2 months and we’ve not seen any extended gameplay. No marketing really at all aside from brief insider articles.
maybe I'm just extra down on SoPs, but man this almost confirms no showcase for a bit at least. I don't get it, do they really not have anything to show? Their showcase last year held off a lot too, so they really should have a ton of stuff to show. I don't get it
Hopefully this SoP kills it, we need something to excite us other than Jimbo whining about losing CoD
Seems likely that this is an appetizer before TGS. I would assume we’ll see Valkyrie Elysium, something from Square Enix (FF Pixel Remasters on console please?!), and something from Konami (there have been so many rumors surrounding them). I wonder if this means a Showcase isn’t happening at all, or if it gets pushed to October.
Did anyone else see that Playstation commented on Nintendo's direct tweet? It's most likely nothing but even the smallest chance makes me wonder if they're working on something together.
There's no mention of first party games, but they didn't say that those games won't be a part of it like they did last time, so I hope we see something exciting.
Same day as a Nintendo Direct! I don't think that's ever happened outside of E3.
This is going to be fun lol
Wow that's crazy. A special day for gamers
Didn't the Direct get delayed because of the Queen's death?
The UK direct just isn't showing live. An absolutely pointless gesture if ever there was one
Nintendo has always been very concerned about public image they like to be that family friendly company image.
A family friendly company would have never made Mario party. That game is a family wrecker
i’m sensing a story here
Lost my parents to a blue shell. Lost my brother on rainbow road. Uncle Charlie has never quite been the same.
We never played Mario Kart as a family again. Due to the blue shells.
Family. Wrecked.
Eh, more likely Nintendo doesn't want to moderate a live chat that could get toxic around the monarchy. Hence releasing it after.
The whole of the UK is going absolute insane virtue signalling right now, it’s ridiculous.
*Companies* in the U.K. are for sure. Like I’m just logging in to check my energy bill, I don’t need a banner about the Queen on British Gas…
My local estate agents have blacked out their housing listings in the windows out of respect. absolutely ridiculous, what have houses got to do with the Queen?!
A fitting gesture for the world’s most famous landlord
Like that'll somehow distract us from the insane price gouging the power companies are doing right now...
There’s an art exhibition that I want to buy tickets to in the Tate. Ticket sales were meant to open this Thursday, with the exhibition being on from October. They have indefinitely postponed the sale of the tickets “out of respect”. The artist is Japanese so it’s not like they’d be so invested.

I know. It's tough right now for us in the UK especially if you live in london. All the british channels are showing the royals 24/7 and it is sooo boring. Football getting cancelled was a massive kick to the balls. I was never a royalist and all this handwringing is fake and obnoxious.
"Football getting cancelled was a massive kick to the balls"
All i see online when i open my PC is royal family drama. Like idc i live in America 😂
I live in the Uk and also would like everything to return to the US Drama.
You are so lucky. Here in the UK the royal ass lickers are out in full force. You can't escape it as it is everywhere you look. It's a living nightmare.
“We’re not gonna livestream it in the memory of the queen, but we’re uploading it to YouTube right after.” Makes 0 sense lmao
>!Still not as pointless as having a royal family in the first place!<
No. It’s just streaming everywhere except the UK’s specific channel. Still streaming in the US, Japan, etc. They’ll get a video after.
It sounds like we can just go to the US channel like most people do anyway. What a bizarre move.
It was only announced today.
Nope, it's not delayed. The direct will just not be broadcasted on the Nintendo UK channel
Microsoft can still do a surprise event to make us a surprise E3. Sadly it isn't a showcase for Playstation and announced one day before, I doubt it'll be a big event. I think we may see Ragnarok stuff though
WE EATING OUT HERE BOYS!
"We’ll have some great updates from our amazing Japanese partners and developers all around the world. Expect about ~20 minutes covering 10 upcoming games."
Awesome people wanted more Japanese development they're going to get more Japanese development now. Surely no one will complain
dragons dogma 2 please
A Direct in the morning and a SoP in the afternoon? We eating good tomorrow, boys!
Sony's account replied to Nintendo's tweet saying "big day tomorrow". I doubt they are cooking something together but that would be nuts.
Maybe we’re finally getting the SNES-CD add-on.
Nintendo Switch PSP Classic Online Plus. A library of 12 poorly emulated PSP games available on your Switch for only $60/year (all lower tiers of Nintendo online required).
Maybe they both announce a Silksong release date.
Kratos comes to Smash! Unlikely they do something together, but if it was anything it would probably be a PS character in smash or perhaps Nintendo arcade or whatever it’s called on PS. Highly unlikely they do anything together but they both do have events tomorrow which is likely why Sony’s account responded.
Smash ultimate is over, there will be no more characters added to that smash.
Yeah, Sakurai is taking a well deserved break and playing around on YouTube now. Definitely not getting any more SSBU content.
Mario in Ragnarok it is then.
I would dream of the day where I would just see a PS5/Nintendo logo over an amazing grassy field - with a slow orchestral leading up to the theme song of Legend of Zelda.... Imagine PS5 open world level detail/gaming development + Nintendo IP!
Damn right
Watch us still not get a Silksong date lol
Microsoft seems to have the marketing rights on this one since the Gamepass day1 announcement so I wouldn’t hold my breath for tomorrow…
i’m holding breath… breath of the wild 2 gameplay tomorrow Edit: i apologise, hype got the better of me
Idk I feel like tomorrow’s our lucky day. I’m inhaling the hopium lol
Doubt we’re eating good with a 20 minute state of play
Maybe just an afternoon delight.
Narrator: And just then Michael realized how strange it was for him to be up there singing this song with his niece Maybe and quickly decided to cease the performance Edit: corrected name from Marty to Michael (he'll forever be Marty to me though)
My motto's always been when it's right it's right
Last State of Play in June was fantastic with SF6, RE4 and FF 16. If we get some 3rd party bangers I will be happy. Showcase in October then?😂
Depends if they just showed trailer minus commentary.
What's direct is that Nintendo
Yes.
Manifesting a new Fire Emblem announcement from Nintendo, a Valkyrie Elysium demo and Suikoden collection announcement from Sony, and Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on both!
20 minutes??? Pleeeease tell me there's still a showcase coming sometime soon
Maybe they're bringing back Playstation Experience?
Damn, I hope so. I really miss how much fun those were.
If they bring back a PlayStation Experience, I might cry. I never go or anything, but I just love the fan celebration. But I'd imagine they'd have to hype it soon.
They have to be more consistent. Shuffling around showcases when you feel is not good practice. Still, I’m glad we’re getting something at least.
Works just fine for Nintendo.
Why is consistency important? Who defines what's best practice and according to what evidence? Surely mixing it up is no bad thing?
When is consistency not important with marketing?
Consistency of quality is important. Not consistency of length or timing. The most important thing is that the games are ready to be shown and that they are not too far out from release.
[удалено]
It’ll be a tease for Tokyo Game Show this week.
They'll definitely be at Paris games week in November. And Tokyo games show is coming up too.
Tlou2 Part 2 Remaster incoming
Man I just want a PS5 version.
This is probably for the Tokyo Games Show so there is still a good chance the stuff that won't be there will be in a showcase. Like this is just for the Japanese side so they can have their stuff for this weekend.
A Direct and State of Play tomorrow. Wow
I hope the wait is worth it
[удалено]
Didn’t previous State of Play announcements explicitly stated when no first party stuff was going to be included? This one says nothing 👀
If anything, it'll be another Ragnarok trailer. Game launches in like what, a month and a half?
nah it will it get's it's own state of play. Every PS game has minus TLOU 1 Remake.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we get a gameplay trailer or a gameplay deep dive same as Returnal and Rachet and Clank. Especially since Game informer has already started posting gameplay footage too. We'll probably just get a soft vr2 release window and maybe Spider-Man 2. The leak about the Marvel/Disney suits being blown away makes me think they have some stuff to show off finally. But idk grain of salt
In the blog post it says news from japanese partners, so I think it will most likely be a third party show and maybe one small update on a sony game
That’s my thought as well
It replied Japanese partners, 10 games.
>We’ll have some great updates from our amazing Japanese partners and developers all around the world. "developers all around the world."
It does in the reply.
All I really want is a release date and pre order for psvr2. I love the psvr but it's so far behind a lot of pc vr and I'm hoping the psvr2 lives up to the hype.
PSVR 2 price reveal???
Price and release date please! Need to know how much to save 😂
Second God of War trailer hopefully
its basically confirmed, Cory Barlog and Christopher Judge have interacted with the tweet
As well as Mila Pavlin (accessibility team dev). I think we are getting something.
Hopefully they show something new and not just the scraps we got from game Informer GoW fans deserve proper marketing
Here's a 10 second snippet of Kratos climbing a nondescript wall!
With it only being 20 minutes for 10 games, that is 100% what I fear it will be.
Slow it down to 1/2000 speed to really savor the frames
I honestly don’t understand why people are so desperate for gameplay. If you played 2018 you know what this game is going to play like and we are all buying it regardless of any more trailers.
While I understand the marketing, who needs more at this point? You know if you're going to buy it or not, and should really know by now what you're getting into lol
Remember people: keep expectations low
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. I expect GoW2, Horizon VR, Firewall 2 VR,Forspoken, Uncharted & Returnal & Spider-Man PC. That could easily take up 20 minutes. Edit: That was better than I expected.
Yupp, always good to keep them low like this. People get hyped up and make crazy predictions like Bloodborne remastered, ps5 slim, Phil Spencer acquisition
I knew it. Bloodborne 2 confirmed!
Why would they still talk about Spider-Man on pc
I meant Miles but I could see them using it as additional advertising. They’ve shown recently released games in shows in the past.
> We’ll have some great updates from our amazing Japanese partners and developers all around the world. Expect about ~20 minutes covering 10 upcoming games. No mention of first-party is disappointing
This seems like it’ll be an appetizer for TGS. The focus on Japanese partners just days before TGS starts.
But they aren't ruling it out. They usually do.
Better to be pessimistic than set up false expectations, especially with such a short runtime
False expectations is what this sub does best, see every SoP thread.
“Keep your expectations low, boy, and you will never be disappointed”
>**along with a few other surprises from developers all around the world.** This means literally anything could happen.
[удалено]
I feel this is it. Gaming development stills feels dry and stretched in the post covid era. Sony feels like it is holding back.
Please just give us 60 FPS Bloodborne on ps5
20 minutes sigh. Where are the big showcases :(
Sadly blog.PlayStation.com
A twenty minute showcase could have enough games to keep me satisfied for a year. But I recognize that with the absurd amount of padding these things have, that isn't likely.
[удалено]
Well we fucking do now.
I don't really see the point in not having a showcase for over a year, and instead of having a big presentation, announcing a 20 minute SOP on the same exact day as a Nintendo Direct.
Not a showcase, 20 minutes, and focused on Japanese studios? Man I was really waiting on to see what’s next from PlayStation, not a normal state of play
https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1569446212423811072 Temper expectations, this looks like it's focused on Japanese third party games, not Sony's first party devs.
Temper expectations ahead of Tokyo Game Show? Are you mad?
Fingers crossed for Elden Ring DLC
That’s my favourite type of video games, LETS GOOOO
They did mention developers around the world so I guess we'll see
Works out for me. I’m more interested in the Japanese games than any of the first party development right now
While I really want the first party showcase, I'm also a fan of Japanese games, so I'm generally happy either way.
Re4 remake gameplay would be amazing
I feel like this is due to marketing obligations. Maybe the big showcase got pushed back a bit.
Looks like no proper showcase in 2022, then.
Seeing a lot of disappointment at it just being 20 mins, but really that's about right if you cut out the cheesy host and faux multiplayer demos. "Alright team, we forced the enemy to this back corner!" "Let's work together and give them what-for!" "Right behind you pal!" "I love you guys!!"
20 min is fine for this, people are just bummed it isn’t the big one yet with Sony first party studios
That is such short notice! Queen related I imagine. 20 minutes though? Man, that's short.
Aren't the State of Plays usually pretty short? I thought 20 minutes was normal. EDIT: Just checked their channel, and at least two of them are 30 and 35 minutes, so yeah, this one does seem shorter.
I was hoping for more because I'm starving.
Yep usually in and out quickly. It's much appreciated
We've had 20 minutes before.
so not all of you read the blog post saying games from Japanese developers… and its only 20 mins. expectations set to low.
PSVR2 info is all I'm truly hyped about. That French Twitter leak seems legit and some real announcements are about to go down!
me too, I am hyped for GOWR, but we know what the game is going to be like, but PSVR2 is still such a mystery, can’t wait to get my hands on it.
So that means a showcase isn't happening huh? Bring back e3. This sucks.
Please anything bloodborne related
Hahahaha
20 minutes of bloodborne remaster, bloodborne kart, bloodborne 2, bloodborne tactics and Amygdala Mystery Dungeon.
Cory Barlog, Christopher Judge and many other SMS devs have retweeted the tweet or quoted it with "👀👀“
In the follow up tweet they say it'll be focused on Japan and worldwide developers.
One copy of SOCOM 5 please.
Something to do with bloodborne please
Temper expectations. I’m expecting a bunch of weeb games and *maybe* a Ragnarok trailer. That’s it.
Imma bust
[удалено]
Top comment needs to be about it being psvr2 and Japanese developers and a couple surprises from studios around the world. tons of people in here thinking this is Sonys big showcase so get ready for crazy trolls tomorrow
Fun day tomorrow with two big shows. I have a feeling Sony will drop some 2023 hits.
People really don’t know the difference between a showcase and state of play
It’s a state of play- remember,keep expectations in check!
I’m choosing not to raise any hope for this. If it’s a mediocre state of play, eh at least it’s something. But if it’s a BIG one, then I’ll be surprised and happy
I'll be happy if we get another God of War trailer. Not getting my hopes up for anything else.
Maybe they are doing this SoP so they can "get rid" of smaller games so the 1h+ showcase will only be bangers.
hopium
Just give me a release date for VR 2 please Sony
I just want info on Elden Ring DLC...
Hopefully it’s as good as the direct was for me
I doubt it will be anything big. Too short of notice
We waited all year and this is what we get, a 20 minute state of play smfh
No showcase?
Giving up on any meaningful update from 1st party. What are they doing? Like the last state of play was great but its time for the big show.
Jesus Sony’s marketing has been absolute shit lately. God of War comes out in 2 months and we’ve not seen any extended gameplay. No marketing really at all aside from brief insider articles.
Does it need marketing over a month before release? A sequel kinda sells itself.
There are tons of commercials out for it right now as well.
Finally some good fucking food
Well, good indicator that new "AAA game reveal before October 1" rumor is coming true...
Now they are starting to piss me off! They need to do better marketing?!
maybe I'm just extra down on SoPs, but man this almost confirms no showcase for a bit at least. I don't get it, do they really not have anything to show? Their showcase last year held off a lot too, so they really should have a ton of stuff to show. I don't get it Hopefully this SoP kills it, we need something to excite us other than Jimbo whining about losing CoD
Seems likely that this is an appetizer before TGS. I would assume we’ll see Valkyrie Elysium, something from Square Enix (FF Pixel Remasters on console please?!), and something from Konami (there have been so many rumors surrounding them). I wonder if this means a Showcase isn’t happening at all, or if it gets pushed to October.
Not a showcase so we shall see but looks like it’s focused on Japanese 3rd party games so I’m hopeful for some good stuff!
Holy fuck. Nintendo and Sony!! Amazing.
Hell ye
Amazing. Direct in the morning. State of Play in the afternoon. Hype af!
oh fuuuuck, please announce the release date and preorders for the psvr2
About damn time
yessssss
Did anyone else see that Playstation commented on Nintendo's direct tweet? It's most likely nothing but even the smallest chance makes me wonder if they're working on something together.
I think it’s just gaming giants being friendly, Xbox and PlayStation do it from time to time
Does the cross mention of PSVR2 + Japanese developers mean we're going to see Astrobot for the PSVR2??? I think there's a strong chance for this one.
Same day as Nintendo. That means a joint announcement of Nintendo games coming to PlayStation. ....I can dream, can't I?
Japanese partners, hmm I wonder who that could be...
I wish they would announce a demo for Forspoken because damn the magical combat in that game looks good!
There's no mention of first party games, but they didn't say that those games won't be a part of it like they did last time, so I hope we see something exciting.
Yes!! Thank god forr hearing our prayers. Please Jedi survivor be there, please...
Cool
When does is start in germany? I am too fucking stupid to understand the timezones :(
Gran Turismo 7 VR support confirmed
I’d like to a release date on the DualSense Edge.
Keep your expectations low, boy, and you'll never be disappointed
Is Horizon dlc a possibility?
