How did Sony think their show would be fine?

3 games shown for Summer Games season. Astrobot, Concord and Lego Horizon. The latter wasn't even shown at the State of Play. And third party presence was incredibly light

Like who at Sony, following their announcement of no big titles this year to investors, thought dropping a State of Play like this was good enough?

Sony are getting battered in the socials and quite rightly. Somehow their show this year was worse than last year and they received a lot of criticism last year

Last year this time they had Spiderman 2 gameplay, MGS3, Assassin's Creed, Alan Wake 2, Dragons Dogma 2 revealed, Marathon, Fairgame$, Phantom Blade Zero, Concord, Helldivers 2 and PS Portal

It was lackluster because it was a lot of CG and first party was the weakest part of it but it was miles better than this year. Rather than aiming for a better show in 2024, getting all the studios ready for a blowout, they gave us this shit

Now we are just praying for a September Showcase but should we? Recent history shows they will just announced PS5 Pro on PS blog randomly

Doom posting again?

We had great first 4 months, and later this year Astrobot, Lego Horizon and Concord.
And of course Final Shape expansion for Destiny 2.

@Sircaw unnecessary doom posting thread. It is tiresome

What I will do here, is archive this thread and it will become available again in a couple of days.

Have to balance the mood of the forum. <3

There is a good chance another show is happening. PS5 pro is likely this year.
In 2020 we had an August 6th State of Play and then a showcase a little over a monthl ater on September 16th, 2010 (FF XVI Day)
Capcom has consistently since 2016 announced new mainline RE games at Sony shows since 2016
RE7 - PS E3 2016
RE2 - E3 2018 PS
RE3 - December 10th 2019 State of Play
RE8 - PS5 suture of Gaming showcase
RE4 - State of Play June 2nd, 2022

We are due for a new RE reveal and RE9 is most likely next year.
The fact that RE9 hasn't been revealed yet is a huge indicator a PS show is coming weather it be another SOP or Showcase
