For-Kier

Cheers to all 10 of you, lol.

@BearsEatBeets it breeds competition among studios which benefits players in the end. Sony has a massive ego, along with any other company, and feeling the pressure to keep up will absolutely lead to better games. While it might seem like a petty culture war, it will still force studios to try and get better too.

Capcom and Square Enix specifically have easily eclipsed Sony.

@MrPeanutbutterz it’s possible I could be alone, but I know you are the one who is truly lonely, lol.

NTE and Destiny 2 though I don’t really know I play either.

Very good. The excellent stuff was excellent. Lotta 50/50 stuff shown off. Moderate amount of slop. Went as well as thought.

Top 3 on this list were solid and more exciting than anything Sony showed off.

Easily the best looking game shown off.

I feel like Capcom is what Sony used to be…

Lol. Or he just got a huge Netflix budget and a well established IP that literally did all the work for him. The animation was the best part. Every character could have had zero dialogue and there been no story and the series still would have been just as good. I certainly don’t regret watching it. I thought it was good enough for what it is. But it’s nowhere in the vicinity of great anime that will ever be remembered.

THIS is where they announce Destiny 3. I can feel it, deep down in my plums.

The “clap back” isn’t even clever given the dev studio is a corporate company too, lol. Kind of makes you wonder how good the writing in the game will be…

To be honest I wasn’t impressed by either top game. Wolverine just looks like reskinned Spider-man and not God of War looks like a DLC pack for Ragnarok honestly.

@MrPeanutbutterz I imagine your ‘life partner’ wrote this out for you to send, lol… good boy.

Translation, the game will be canceled in a few months.

@Swandivetotheasphalt imagine being so confident in comparing something that could easily happen to something that literally can’t, lol…

$15 still seems like too much for a game that should be free and will ultimately be shut down anyways.

Doesn’t even seem like second or third place but it’s a great game.

There’s no shortage of stupid things stupid people won’t buy. So you’d be stupid not to sell it to them.

Given that we know like 78% of Marathons player base are also Destiny players, it will be interesting to see what this games numbers look like come June 9.

@Swandivetotheasphalt quality over quantity wins almost every time. Even if they are releasing less games than Sony, which shouldn’t surprise anyone cause Capcom has 3 studios to Sony’s 20, their quality of games are at least equal to and sometimes better than a lot of Sony’s over the last few years.

This game will be a tough sell without Kratos.

Nothing blew me away. I have to admit Sony for the first time just continues to look off their game.

@mrmartinrohr you know they are redoing that game as we speak.

It used to be so easy to make fun of Xbox’s showcase as a Sony fan but I feel like that’s really no longer the case. Very average.

Let's not pretend like the culture war hasn't gone a long way to knee cap Sony over the last 5 years as well. It doesn't matter what side of it you fall on, catering to either alienates half a consumer base. Even for a few of the games that came out that still did well, you do wonder if they would/could have done even better had they not tried to lean into it one way or the other.

Toy Story for SNES was my ish...

Fingers crossed somehow, someway, a third person view patch comes at some point...

I couldn't even get through the entire word "multiplayer" before I already passed...

Hasn't the general public been testing games for most companies for like 5+ years now already?

I swear I picked up this game for less than $20 not too long ago but when I get around to actually playing it who knows. It looks cool.

They would have to completely stop making games for me to ever have time to even contemplate trying these. And that would still take another decade after finishing the backlog first.

@LowDefAl "The majority of the user base doesn’t care what Sony do..." I like how you tell him he doesn't speak for the player base and then make a comment that tries to speak for the player base, lol.

Just making a profit doesn't mean as much anymore. It's whether it makes ENOUGH profit.

Anything from Capcom or Square please. Outside of Wolverine, I don’t have much faith in anything Sony coming up soon. That Horizon game won’t even last a month. I guess it’ll be the Concord 3 that some don’t believe Marathon is but really just Concord 4 for most.

Won’t be preordering but if everything checks out in the first few days I’ll pick it up quickly. I’m sorry but I don’t care what studio you are preordering will never be a thing for me ever again.

@BearsEatBeets question. What kind of bear is best?

RE9 went on sale so that and maybe NTE.

It figures I spent the last few months saying how great of a deal PS+ was just for them to prove me wrong, lol. I still think it’s a bargain though even with some absolute ass months thrown in.

The best part to me is how little Sony and Nintendo care or even pay attention to Xbox as they flop around like a fish out of water for the last 5 years. MS reminds me of a kid who was kind of cool in high school, but then everyone else eventually moved on, but since that was their peak they now just do ridiculous stuff to see if they can get anyone to notice them again. We do, but it’s putting our heads down in embarrassment.

@SleepyNick And you think just avoiding this place will preserve that? Like you will need to stay off the internet completely to avoid "spoilers" which I think is a big stretch to consider seeing supposed game lineups a "spoiler". There is no official list of what's going to be there so nothing is technically spoiled.

@SuperSilverback Stop coming here until State of Play is over?

@Bamila $20 says he already owns it and is just another Stan who thinks it's edgy to post this comment... There will be 30 more comments that all say the same thing and I will bet another $20 that they all own the game already too.

The only thing that could truly blow the roof off is if Concord 2 was in development this whole time...

Looking back as a former Destiny player who sees Bungie basically folding, it seems Activision did have the right strategy after all. Just release a new boxed product every couple of years with a new number. No matter how bland CoD is every couple years, it still sells multiple millions of copies. Destiny probs ,y should have just done the same thing.

Is "take a photo of your face for age estimation" actually a thing? How is an estimation a verification?

I mean I could make that pitch in 30 seconds to Capcom. "Hey, do you guys want an easy way to make a bunch more money? Green light Pragmta 2." Done.

If you can't tell the difference between the boy and the girl then why even have both?

Real talk. The single player mode got really boring really fast.

I like how articles keep claiming AI is attracting strong resistance while only showing Reddit/Twitter meltdowns. You do realize 90% of Twitter aren't even real people, right? AI is in every company across the globe right now. There is no real world resistance to it. Anyone with an actual career can tell you we are all using AI whether we want to or not.
