State of Play Announced for 27th October Featuring Third-Party Games on PS5, PS4

Please just not this awful GTA remaster trilogy… that would be only a waste of time.

It's just 10 minutes of Deathloop with new DLC and a reminder that GTAV is still coming to PS5. Then the rest is history.... no seriously, we better not see GTAV and Deathloop again. Will keep expectations low as usual

Also, Final Fantasy XVI. I'll forgive you for showing Deathloop and/or GTA related games just as long as I get to see more of FFXVI

Does "3rd party" mean big companies like EA or indies?

I don't think CoD needs any help but I'm sure there are a ton of smaller games that could use the spotlight, Nintendo has Nindie Directs so I'm expecting more of those than AAA but I don't know which is why I asked.

A bit more Stray, please and thanks.

According a leaker from earlier this month, they predicted some kind of event where we would finally see Hogwarts Legacy. Either this month or in December, so here's hoping!

Stray is all I want to see.

fingers crossed for Little Devil Inside news

Please lord, show us Final Fantasy XVI.

Less GTA showing would be great.

Wonder when we will ever see Little Devil Inside again..

Please Sony, do this right by showing Final Fantasy XVI

" ... plus a few reveals from our partners around the world."
👀

Deathloop 2 for the whole presentation

Beyond Good and Evil 2 please🙂

I would love proper Ghostwire demo, but I think this event may be somewhat short for that.

@nessisonett Can't be, that's an Xbox exclusive

Expectations are checked, but perhaps something from the square triumvirate of FFXVI (maybe), FFVIIR2 (not likely), or Forspoken (probably).

Stray and Little Devil updates would be nice. Just hoping for something exciting and/or new.

probably showing off among us tbh

@render Deathloop 2

DEATHLOOP 2

"Deathloop DLC has started development"

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Remakes, Bloodborne remaster and GTA 6 are locks for this event

disengages sarcasm mode

Honestly though, i would actually find it funny if they revealed Deathloop DLC here

It's that time again...for everyone to MOAN If I don't see The Last of Us 3 and God of War 3 and GT8...etc etc... (that is what people seem to expect each State of Play) :-/

Security breach plz? Fnaf security breach plz. I need more information on it. That is the only game I need from this state of play

Its going to be gta V, followed by GTA Trology, followed by deathloop dlc, followed by Warzone then finished off with fnaf security breach. 4 stages of games we are sick of at this point.

@Danloaded the last time we have seen anything about security breach from PlayStation was in February It’s been a while since we heard anything about considering they are targeting a late 2021 release and 2021 is almost over so we need more information about it and a release date. But I do agree with you about the other 3 games

Can we please have some FF XVI and Lost Soul updates 🙏

@nessisonett Deathloop 2 is already here, it's actually just Deathloop but you have to play it again!!

Some more Tchia/Little Devil inside would be nice. Or some Kena updates/DLC. Also, wasn’t there a rumour that the Predator:Hunting Grounds devs were working on a ghostbusters game? Maybe see some of that although I’m sceptical if it’s another online only multiplayer

@anoyonmus i meant fnaf in general but i did word it poorly lol

FF7R2 please.

Gta trilogy gameplay.final fantasy 16 tailer.atomic heart gameplay.that game looks dope.word up son

@Anke oh yeah. They recently released a large update. Great thing to deep dive again into the game

Final Fantasy please Sony!

My wallet is in no state for me to be excited about State of Play, but I'm glad Sony has started to increase the frequency of these events.

Might as well watch it - with no expectations whatsoever.

Sony usually save their bombshell announcement for random blog posts or offhand interview remarks.

Keep your expectations extremely low for this one. You can just feel its going to be a snoozer with those details. This makes me think Sony doing another big event in December that was rumored might not happen.

@nessisonett ooh hope so ! 🤣🤣

I'd like to see an update on Instinction. I'd also like confirmation that Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge is coming to PS5 and when the release date is.

I expect neither to be shown.

As usual, expectations kept low.

Based on past 3rd party focused State Of Play events, I'm sadly expecting this to be quite weak & unnecessary. Happy to be proven wrong, but yeah......

Deathloops: the prequel

Pre-order now for right to buy early access to Deathloop DLC and special costumes as well as an official Deathloops: the prequel hula-hoop.

I'm not enthused and my expectations are extremely low, so there's no where to go but up!

I expect absolutely nothing so I should be easy to satisfy.

Everything is third party games either way lol

@rjejr
1st Party: A developer owned by Sony
2nd Party: A developer under contract by Sony
3rd Party: Everyone Else.

I agree that we need more highlights on Indies. I don't really see a point to showing off big budget 3rd party titles that we already know about.

FF XVI
Stray
Little Devil Inside
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge
COD / BF

@thedevilsjester Thanks.

I suppose I worded that comment poorly, I understand what you said, what I meant was is the SoP going to be on big 3rd parties or indies? I don't play most of the big AAA games like CoD, BF, AC, W_D so I could skip it but I'm curious about smaller titles.

The July SoP was mostly indies so it may be too soon for another one, or it could just be those which haven't released yet. Or maybe mention Kena since it kind of came and went after the delay news. I kind of forgot it already released. 🤷‍♂️

GTA remaster maybe?
Solar Ash again would be weird!
Not that hyped for this one, to be honest...

@rjejr Unfortunately there is no way to know, since indies tend to fall under the same 3rd party umbrella as major studios. I just skip the "live" event and then watch the videos for the games I am interested in as they are posted to YouTube directly afterward.

I do wish they had a specific event where they show off indies, like Nintendo does, maybe: "State of Play: Indies"?

I have lower expectations than usual due to that I don’t see them revealing anything that we don’t already have a decent amount of information on already.

I don’t see any surprise games in this.

45 minutes of GTA, FIFA, some Deathloop just because, and some PSVR1 games. Plus more Borderlands spinoff because for some reason we love Gearbox games in Playstation presentations.

Can we expect Third Party EXCLUSIVES or regular multi plat AAA?

@CrashLanded both

@Anke don’t joke as they’ll probably do this!

@thedevilsjester Thanks. I actually thought in the past they did distinguish between the two types of companies but that may have been after the fact. I may watch it if I remember but since I already forgot what time it is I probably won't. 🤷‍♂️

@NEStalgia Buuuuuttttt..... it's only 20 minutes. 😉

@rjejr sorry, I saw state of play and just zoned out and stopped reading...

FFXVI might be there, yes. YoshiP was done with the Endwalker media tour a couple of weeks ago and release is in a month, i imagine it's mostly done now. I suppose he can say something about XVI now.
I hope there are nice reveals like the KOTOR remake. I will go bonkers if either the Xenogears or Chrono cross remakes/remasters are real.

FF XVI, Persona VI, KOTOR R release date, FF 7 R part 2 info, Code Veronica remake

I agree with @Icey664

There was a leak about Hogwarts Legacy and I’m actually praying it was true and this is it, I’d love to see more of that game.

Deathloop ? 🤔

No seriously it’s probably GTA and COD. It’s a shame it’s one of the rare State of Play I’ll be able to see live but also one of the rare State of play I’m the least interested. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good! Its important for sony to showcase and promote 3rd parties and indies on their platform as well as their own AAA titles.
Im firmly of the belief that Sonys platforms are the way such devs can continue to invest and make some money from creating good games in the future, whilst other platforms continue to devalue games to the point where many in that eco system balk at the idea of paying full price for any title.
Im hoping for a stray update and maybe the hogwarts title, but Ill be happy to see whatever we have coming... Im easilly pleased xD

@Carl-G it's kids for you mate not living in the real world 🤦

Please Sony just show us Metal gear solid remake

@dimi
Shooting for moon a bit there aren't you? But I'd love it if you are right about any of those!

I just hope that Praey for the Gods is finally released.

am I the only one who wants to see more Project Eve...?

Hopefully it contains a mother f**king dragon

@NEStalgia No readie no postie. 😉

Though I never watch a vid before I comment on it, that feels like cheating. Usually go back and edit after if it's worth it. 🤷‍♂️

@rjejr State of Play. I know enough of what to expect without reading the details. The big PS event was disappointing enough.

Mt summary will still be correct, only the runtime was off.

Given Death Stranding was in the last 3rd party focused State of Play (developed by Kojima Productions, published by Sony) and the upcoming State of Play was announced earlier than normal (5 days before air date rather than the usual 2 days), I'm going to guess Bloodborne is going to be announced for PS5 and PC in this as developed by FromSoftware, published by Sony would count as 3rd party.

@NEStalgia I'm going to give you 1 out of your 5 - GTA, FIFA, PSVR, Deathloop, Borderlands. 😉 OK maybe 2.

I'll guess Sifu and 3 games from the last Nindie Direct. 😂

https://www.nintendo.com/indie-world/

@rjejr I'll give you those. Sad that 3rd party "exclusives" are more exciting than Sonys first party stuff... But that's genuinely more exciting than the big presentation was!

@NEStalgia I haven't been excited about any video game presentations in awhile. I keep thinking I'm done with gaming - have you seen this year's holiday line-ups for Nintendo and Sony? - but then I remember all the games I do still want to play, but games just take FOREVER to release these days. GoW2, BotW2, HFW, Pikmin 4 😝 Bayonetta 3. I understand the argument that yearly games are too often but 2 or 3 years seems OK, but everything seems like 4. BotW 2 will be 5 years after the first. That's not a sequel, that's more than enough time for a new game, it's the same engine on the same console. 5 years. Unless it's a Pro exclusive, who knows.

Sony is mostly just annoying me b/c I can't get a PS5 and R&C isn't on the 4. So I may not game again for a while.

@rjejr Nintendo has the new Metroid and SMT.... That's the best holiday they've had since Mario Odyssey.

Sony...err.... Sega has a better holiday lineup.... Heck how and hfw aren't games that excite me. I like them, I'm buy them when they hit sales but they don't wow me so all of 2022 looks bleak for Sony to me. Sifu and probably something square interests me though. Haven't grabbed ratchet and kena yet, those are musts.

I don't even care about mp4. 2d Metroid was always my thing. Played 1 on an arcade cabinet in a pizza shop. How's that for dating myself?

@Korgon you can say that i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one!

@NEStalgia There was a Metroid game in an arcade? Did not know that. My go to was Phoenix. If you don't know it think Galaga but with, well it was really just Galaga. Then Gyrus in college which was great after I er discovered things. 🤪

Don't really play 2D games and not a big fan of Metroid anyway. MP4 wasn't on my list. I need to be moving around a world. Doesn't have to be "open", Uncharted is fine, JRPG are my go to but I have a type, but I also don't play 1st person. So, 3D platformers, FF and DQ type JRPG and 3rd person action games, but no stealth either. So basically my most anticipated game right now is Kirby. It's purty, and I don't know what to expect. HFW and GoW2 and BotW2 will all be better but I know what I'm getting with those. Bayonetta 3 I pre-ordered in 2018 for $50 discount from $60 but I have no faith in playing it, probably a Switch 2 exclusive but Nintendo will only make 8 of them. 😂

@rjejr Yeah, it was the wild west back then.... Today it would be f2p mobile games.

Yeah, dread is good if you're a Metroid fan or never played one, but if it wasn't for you before, dread won't change your mind. David Jaffe can't figure out y Metroid can't crawl still, so you're in good company.

Tsh, such limited genres . You liked Ori, so there's that. And don't worry, when the 8 bayo3 copies sell out, platinum will kickstart more and charge you the import fees.

@NEStalgia I didn't mean 8 copies of Bayonetta, I meant 8 Switch 2 consoles. 😝

@rjejr lol, ok 2 switch 2s and unlimited Bayonetta 3 copies but you'll have 10 months to buy them!

@NEStalgia Just realized that Nintendo has the perfect opportunity to call their next console Switch 2 and make it have 2 screens. Better than Switch OLED Pro Lite DS.

Now I'll be disappointed if Switch 2 isn't a two screened clamshell design. Would explain the Pikmin 4 delay anyway. And why 1 of Wii U best looking games XCX hasn't been ported to Switch yet, it needs that map for a lot of the side missions. Also a definite lack of 3DS ports.

I've always assumed a Switch DS was coming, too many 3/DS games to ignore, so that's not new, just the first time I've realized the synergy of Switch 2 with 2 screens. And now that their 4 1/2 year old console which has NEVER had a price cut is selling for $50 more they can sell a Switch 2 for $399.

Well anyway, we'll get a Switch 2 DS (alternate name) before a Pro, too late for that now.

@rjejr Somehow I hadn't even thought of a 2-screen Switch. Cost and weight might be prohibitive, but the opportunity to resell 2011 3DS games for $70 is just too great. The console wouldn't be made because they want to make new 2 screen games, it would be made as a delivery mechanism for the old ones. That's genius! Although the one problem is the best games on 3DS weren't really Nintendo's own games. They had good ones, but that was a machine, like PS2, all about the 3rd party exclusive gems. Though they could sell the last good Animal Crossing game. That could justify it alone.

OTOH, especially with OLED screens now, that's a lot of screen budget. So the second screen would have to be a resistive plastic coated 4:3 1024x768 TN panel from 2005. Because that's the Nintendo way.

It's amazing that the Switch OLED sells for more than the Series S. It's 1/4 the hardware for more money. Yeah, it's portable and unique and that means they can charge what they want, but it amazes me anyway. I figure they'll make Switch 2 $399-$450. Still makes them "cheaper" than PS5, they don't care about the price difference from Series S.

But I still think a total market collapse is coming first. Consumers have been insulated from spiralling hyperinflation until this holiday when companies are starting to roll it through. Next year overall prices will be 40% higher from what people knew in 2019 (including things like Switch and $70 PS games), and pay will be 2% higher. There's a consumer spending crash right around the corner not seen since 1929. I don't think these ever more premium priced entertainment devices will hold their pricing for 7 years. Either that or it'll all become so ultra luxury a Switch 2 will be $1k and PS5 games will be $250 a piece.

@NEStalgia They need a Switch 2 DS just for the Nintendog ports. 🐕 And yeah, bottom touch screen is 2005 touch tech. New 2DS was going for $199, Switch Lite is $199, Switch 2 DS should be profitable at $299, no OLED of course. Clamshell won't fit in the dock, so it will be Nintendo abandoning home consoles. Not like Switch is really competitive there anyway w/ the FPS or sports games. Maybe HDMI mini out for top screen, 10' cable accessory sold separately.

I've always felt it was coming, just a matter of time. Not 3D though, too gimmicky even for me. But Nintendo likes those clamshell designs. Gameboy SP had one for no reason at all. 🤷‍♂️

@rjejr Switch 2 DS $399.99 2024. The OLED upgrade made of rigid plastic that doesn't stress creak and feel like a 1995 toy will be $449.99 in 2027. Bottom screen will still be 2005 tech. With plastic stylus.

It'll dock though. That's their shtick and market hook. No dock and appeal drops in the west like a rock, even if nobody ever uses it in the dock. But to dock it you have to unhinge the bottom clamshell that's also the controller and second screen. Which gives you, basically a worse WiiU for more money but will suddenly be cool because it's Switch and there's an awesome mechanical latch hinge to use. (Insert unlatching click sound that sounds like a cheap spring in an empty ABS shell.) Switch 2 DS GO PLAY PRO controller sold separately for $129.95. It's just old WiiU GamePad inventory painted red & blue. It'll take 2 years before you can even sucure one.

@NEStalgia What if instead of a dock the Switch has a built in projector so we can play on air like a Sci-fi wristwatch? 😉

Maybe we should head over to NL now and take over an article talking about the PS5 Pro w/ 8k gaming. 😂

@rjejr I thought that's what ever single Switch Pro article was for?

Weren't the early NX rumors all about the projector already? I feels a little deja vous.

@NEStalgia Switch Pro articles were about PS4 Pro, I'm talking PS5 Pro. Toe-tul-E different subject.😉

NX rumours were about the Switch OLED, I'm almost positive about that. 😎

@rjejr what if I take a PS5, rig it to a car battery, and rig it to a GamePad. It's there a rumor on Twitter NL has reported on that will be confirmed?

@NEStalgia PS5 is pretty big, might need 2 car batteries, but if Sony announces a PS5 Portable during tomorrows SoP then you've at least managed to bring us back on topic. 😂

@rjejr Nono, the PS5 is all power efficient and stuff.....it's just big because it's meant to house the car battery internally! BEYOND!

Oh, we're not really off topic. Firmware article comments just talk about snack food. Playstation and game article comments just talk about how much everyone hates Xbox (But loves PC.) Most of the staff articles just talk about Game Pass. We're at least talking about Nintendo which is the one thing the Push Square comments don't seem to hate.

@NEStalgia They'll hate Nintendo comments when Switch gets Gamepass, mobile xcloud version, but love Gamepass comments when it's available on PS5. 😉

Gamepass on PS5 would be the end of console wars. It's already getting close with that "Sony games on PC" article. Won't stop any company from using the word "exclusive" though. 😝

@rjejr I read the first part of that sentence, and was going to cynically retort about how they'll love it when Game Pass comes to PS5...but, yep...we're already on the same page there

I figure it's only a matter of time before Sony does SOMETHING with PS Now to make it a lot more GP competitive. I don't think MS will force their hand. I think it'll be Amazon and Apple. They're already pushing Luna on the front page of the pre-Black Friday pre-Holiday pre-Sale-pre-Sales Event stuff. Apple will do a thing with Apple Arcade and the world will love it because the only group more neurotically hypocritical than the PS fanbase is the Apple fanbase...

PXB had a (lousy clickbait) Twitter based article yesterday about ponies melting down because Xbox twitter called out "gatekeeping" and it instantly became "MS took Bethesda's games away!!" wars. Omitting "WOOO FF XVI IS PS EXCLUSIVE PS HAZ BEST XCLUSIVES WOOO!" I don't think anything will end the console wars. How does one live without an identity tied to a global corporate entertainment marketing brand? But it's only a matter of time before someone discovers a PS5 browser you can run xCloud and GeFNow on and suddenly there's Push Square articles on how to score the best deals on Game Pass cards from shady Hong Kong retailers. But everyone will still hate Phil and Xbox and how they took Bethesda games away while reading about how to stream Bethesda games on their Playstation for $15 bucks.

@NEStalgia Luna is the Segway of Stadia game consoles so I'm not too worried about that. 😂

You're probably right about the console wars not ending though, what was I thinking. "My console does 16.2GFlops to your consoles 16.1Gflops lozer". Never a good base of anything when it's predominantly white guys in their 20s and 30s. 😝

I can see a future though where hardware doesn't matter, every company becomes Sega. Do we really need all of these boxes wired to our TVs? Phones can just cast games like they cast Netflix. All of those $1,000 phones must be Switch capable by now, it's $300 and 4 years old. 20 years tops, PS7 and XboxXboxXbox are as far as it goes, if that. Nintendo can keep making $200 toys for kids if they want, nobody cares.

@rjejr And don't forget "Digital Foundry said Badly Optimized Game that Runs Like Trash On a Top-End PC: Reckoning - Remastered HD has 3fps dips on your lozer console!"

I think "hardware doesn't matter" is pretty much the central goal of everything Microsoft right now. But I doubt Sony will really march to that beat unless the market gives them no choice. They'll sell $2000 consoles that glow like Space Ships to the same pampered yuppies that buy their FF DSLR cameras before they embrace that.

And Nintendo can sell sheets of cardboard and some minigames for $100. They really don't even need to worry about that.

Console wars. Console wars never change.... (OMGOMGOMGXBOXTOOKAWAYFALLOUT!!!1!)

@NEStalgia It will be the market that drives Sony out of the hardware business as they keep porting their 1st party games to PC nobody will want to spend $500 on a 1 trick pony console.

I kinda miss the $100 cardboard, building it was fun. And I'd buy another Balance Board with proper VR on Switch 2. So Nintendo gets to stick around doing whatever. And it doesn't have to worry about 3rd party support, there's 2 dozen indie games every single week on Switch I've never heard of. 😂

@NEStalgia This seemed relevant to our recent conversation. Though I would change Apple's "gaming importance" to "feelings of self importance". 😂

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/29/apple-says-it-competes-with-playstation-xbox-and-nintendo.html

@rjejr Well, no argument they compete with Nintendo considering most of the games on the eShop are iOS games

Sony and Microsoft as competitors to an $1100 "console" that mostly plays freemium and mini games? I'm surprised Atari didn't come up with that.

Sad demo Sony...
