State of Play announced for June 2. Over an hour long, with an extended look at Wolverine

1 hour is disappointing. Wolverine should get its own time slot. Especially given that Insomniac keeps PS studious afloat. Feels like we have to wait a whole nother year for Sony to announce anything good, and try to sell the PS6….
 
Should we get ready for "Is Wolverine another woke slop from Sony"? Should is stock-up on snacks?

I'm not shit-stirring but why are so many people assuming this Wolverine game is going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread?

Read loads of comments online from ps5 owners taking the piss out of bemused pc owners that they won't be getting it.
 
Going to have to sell me on Wolverine. Didn't like what I saw from the leaks.

Also....crazy idea....about we announce some new games, Sony?

We are at least 10 more "market conditions" PS+ price increases before anything new can be announced
 
I hope it is their big E3 Showcase...
The last State of play was already pretty good, lets hope Sony will show us "cool sony" again... It is needed after some rather dry years on Playstation
now that I think about, it seems like it's almost imperative for them to have a strong showing because of the recent price hikes on their consoles, because they'll need to give a the consumers a good reason to buy the consoles.
 
Can't wait to see more Wolverine!

I think its gonna be good! fuck the haters. Might have some woke shit, but I think overall its gonna be good. Theyve been making it for YEARS right?

Remember peeps, insomniac doesnt mess around! - They might be bummed into making something wokeish, but they are technically incredible at what they do!
 
So maybe one of Intergalactic and Goddess of War do we think? Goddess of War was stated to be revealed this sort of time in the original leaks wasn't it? If we just get that and some updates on other stuff that'd be fine by me tbh.

Not sure how anyone gets excited for these anymore.

- Update DLC to random third party game that came out 2 months ago and everyone is bored of already.

- Random third party live service slop from studio you forgot about , game will also be forgotten about within a week.

- Random cheap accessories that no one asked for.

- Obscure Indie game you won't even play for an hour

- Three games with cartoon unreal engine 4/5 slop art style from obscure Japanese developer

- Several self congratulating sizzle reels on ps plus usually some games you completed three years ago

- Tentpole game debuts but disappoints has slightly off visuals looks like dulled down version of other games.

- Show gets A on Neogaf actual rating should be C or D
 
We here at PlayStation are very excited to announce Fairgame$ 2. We are so confident in Fairgame$ that we've already had Sucker Punch and Bend Studio team up to work on the sequel.

Tell us how you really feel 🤣
 
Are there any first party studios that are in a space to announce new games? Weren't most of them caught up in recent GAAS cancelations and stuff?

I can see Astrobot 2 being a thing by now, especially if it is highly iterative.

Venom still hasn't been officially announced so that could one. The Faye game could be another. ND has another game in dev besides Intergalactic. Insomniac is probably working on more than just Wolverine. Yeah, Astro Bot 2 is going to happen at some point, but I think it is early for that.

So yeah....I see lots of possibilities for announcements, but that doesn't mean we will get any.
 
What's the over/under on a 20 minute Wolverine extended look? No way they spend that much time on it...right?
i would not want to be spoiled 20 min long on a game i am interested in, and I would not want to be bored 20 min with a game I am not interesed in either. So 20 is a bad idea in any way. Maybe, only maybe if it is an actually brand new IP. Setting a tone with some real life orchestra E3 God of War style and than introducing to the lore of the new IP. But Wolverine should show a few cutscene elements and a few gameplay cuts. No need to actually elaborate.
Where does this number come from though? The blog entry does not say anything other than "closer look" on Wolverine?
 
Wolverine will show the potential of Sony.
All that's left for the haters is to pick some random NPC and say it's woke.
sbt

Thing is, Sony haven't announced anything first party in ages, but they've actually got loads of exclusives coming this year. Wolverine, Silent Hill Townfall, Marvel Tokon, Phantom Blade 0, Kena 2. So they really don't need to rush out any more announcements. I think we'll get the Faye game, and I wouldn't rule out Venom if that really is still coming, but I think they'll hold the other stuff back for the PS6 push. Maybe Intergalactic gets something at the Game Awards.
 
The game gets a bonus point for its brutality. If the gameplay also turns out to be good and isn't just "I press everything randomly and something cool happens" free-flow combat, the PS5 might become my choice for a temporary GTA console even though i don't like the controller.

Perhaps. They still need first party games for 2027 though. I'd settle for at least one announcement from a first party studio in June and another announced at the awards, but I really miss the big showcase reveals instead of this piece meal shit.

I just chose 20 minutes as an over / under starting point.

I think Starfield had a 30 minute in depth presentation before launch.

I'd just be curious to hear what the expectation is for "an extended look into Wolverine" (title of this thread) as I can tell me dentist to use that time for my root canal.
 
Would it be too crazy to expect the GTA6 trailer?

I mean, at this point Sony and Rockstar kinda both need each other at peak performance on this one. They call that "Synergy" in corpospeak

So do I. But the biggest problem for me has been just not knowing WHEN these shows are going to happen. And it seems like the whole industry's finally settling back on the old E3 schedule again now, which is a relief. So I can accept the piecemeal approach much more easily knowing at least we still definitely get 2 big events a year and just treat anything else as a bonus.

It's a Wolverine game. It's an Insomniac game. When was the last bad game from that studio lol
