Nothing againI know we were warned but just what is going on with Sony and their State of Plays? I don’t know what the point of the one on Thursday was supposed to be but all it did for me was confirm that Sony is asleep at the wheel and just do not care about anything anymore. It’s like they’ve given up and yet the PlayStation 5 is still selling amazingly well. I just can’t even begin to understand what they’re doing and I know it’s pointless asking anyone else because no one does.
That game they started the State of Play with… was that some kind of joke? Why on earth would you start your pre-Christmas showcase with that? Who is running Sony’s marketing department nowadays, Microsoft?
What gets me is that they decided to have it on the exact same day as a Nintendo Direct which was a hundred times better and yet the Switch is in its last days, and you can see Nintendo is starting to wind things down. But they’re doing it gracefully and with still a lot of cool looking games.
The PlayStation 5 is right at its peak, and it’s got nothing, almost completely nothing. Once Spider-Man 2 is out what then? When will we get a new first party game announced? This time next year? I just… I don’t get it.Korey
Baby, step awayThe State Of Play sucked. But it always does. I want to make one point though. WTF is Baby Steps? It blew my mind at how it looks worse, than The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum? At least we knew what to expect from that. This looks dreadful. We didn’t get Silent Hill 2 Remake. But we got that. Absolutely disgraceful.
Why would Sony even give this abomination screen time and begin the event with such a terrible game? I won’t be surprised when it flops, because at least, Getting Over It was a fun experience. This just looks confusing and, frankly, a waste of Bennett Foddy’s talents. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 saved the show for me.Shahzaib Sadiq
Final yearI thought that was an excellent Nintendo Direct. I know a lot of the games were remasters or remakes but the Switch 2 is probably going to be out by this time next year, or close to it, so in that sense I think Nintendo had a lot more than I would have expected.
Very happy to see Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, although the first Paper Mario was very good too, so I don’t know why they haven’t remastered that as well, since there’s now going to be a gap between Super Mario RPG and the second Paper Mario.
I have no idea what’s going on with Princess Peach: Showtime! but personally I consider that a positive in a game. I wonder if that will end up being the last big budget original for the Switch
