Sony Just Surprised Us All

[@benwasserman8223]

I think we all expected a Ghost of Tsushima sequel eventually, given how awesome the first game was. Just didn't expect SuckerPunch to turn it into an anthology franchise.

[@trevorcognac9155]

So does that bother all who agree?

[@ChunkyJo]

That’s great and all. But this State of Play was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

[@Idle1996]

[@alfiebrima]

You’ve no idea how relieved I was when I only heard Josh’s voice thru my tv speakers and no 1000mph yapperholic to hate from start to finish

[@andruism7]

Glad to hear you can have greater control over the story in the new Ghosts game. I remember possibly the only thing that bothered me in Ghosts of Tsushima was how playing honorably had little to no effect on the story. I was actually kind of annoyed when Jin decided to use poisons in a cutscene despite the fact that I hadn't been using dishonorable tactics at all.

[@KevinLopez-ht9br]

Honestly not good enough to overshadow the ps5 pro price or the mandatory psn account for pc games. A handful of games and nonsense remasters isnt enough to drive a mid generation refresh.

[@ProfessorWah]

Glad to see another positive video from Josh, rather that Scott's 'OMG LOOK AT THIS F*CK UP' videos. Not that they're inappropriate (mostly) but I'm bored of the misery associated with his videos. Josh always brings a good vibe and I'm glad he's back

[@cppblank]

I was actually pleasantly surprised since we also got DLC announcements from 3 of my favorite games, Stellar Blade, Alan Wake 2 (the first DLC was awesome) and Astro Bot. That claymation game looked cool too. I am also happy there is finally a date for the Metro VR game.

[@traveltrades2123]

15:00 Control is literally a spin off of Alan wake and the Control DLC was effectively a “crossover” (If you want to call it that). And Alan wake is ALREADY a “crossover” as we learn on the ending. So I think it’s more of a big interconnected story , rather than an after thought like the MCU.

[@ShaunLevett]

Hopefully the gun combat makes it a true leap in gameplay. The one issue Sony 1st party games seem to have is sequels don't feel like true sequels. The are often very safe. Ragnarok added the Draupnir weapon but that was it. I loved the first Horizon, but was just indifferent with Forbidden West.

[@joecamps1119]

LEGO Horizon cracks me up, they haven’t invented the accessibility settings I would need to make sense of all the crazy visuals.

[@ryanpledger9333]

I was pleasantly surprised by this State of Play.

[@darthdolo5142]

Given how Ghost of Tsushima ended, I would have loved to see a direct sequel where Jin and Yuna began training ninjas, as that was the style it seemed like it was going in. Not to mention that the Emperor was sending additional Samurai so it would've been good to see a storyline between the two groups. I am quite excited for the Lunar Collection and Soul Reaver remasters.

[@kylelyons6088]

I always struggled to think of where it could go past "now we're ninjas and we're on the run". Maybe we could go to mainland Japan and try to clear our name, or a new threat arises and we train new ninjas. But I'm not mad at the idea of a new story all together, probably easier to judge on its own merit. Maybe for the next game after we go back to Jin. Maybe the protagonist is a decendant of Jin. I'm hype for this

[@darthdolo5142]

@kylelyons6088 oh definitely. I'll be playing it regardless. Sucker Punch put out a solid game with GoT so picking up the second one is a no brainer for me.

[@MarloLaw]

That can easily be a dlc

[@darthdolo5142]

@@MarloLaw if that were the case, they would have done it. The dlc for GoT was okay, but the scope of a ninja clan going up against the Emperor's Samurai should be larger in scope imo.

[@victorthomas2158]

I was hoping to further go into more details with Jin and Yuna. Maybe Jin establsh a ninja school or something. But i'm happy for more.

[@jasperscholtz8598]

I am very happy with the Legacy of Kain remake but imagine that a studio like BluePoint can do with it.

[@gellusmarc5936]

I was really captivated by Hell is Us, until I looked closer at the gameplay and realized it had to be a Soulslike. I just can't with those games. I honestly love the dark dingy world that most of them take place in. I love a good Action RPG. I just can't do it. I cannot find the joy in spending dozens of hours grinding for such a tiny incremental increase in power, and still get steamrolled by normal enemies, let alone bosses.

[@SirSugarSkull]

I agree, about as many games as I have time for, and all looking good

[@DoraKage]

Looks like its gonna be better than Assassin's Creed Shadows. Frankly I'd rather play a Sucker Punch game over an Ubisoft game.

[@Acidrain82]

will get the Legacy of Kain remaster but need a game to conclude the story

[@Kelsoplayz]

A 10 dollar upgrade which includes all the mocap work, overall graphical improvements to feel like how FW plays, and all the PS5 controller goodies? Seems pretty reasonable to me and I am very much looking forward to existing in this world again.

[@MrSdways]

It's not a bad deal, I just have already played the game for over 100 hours and I don't feel the need to go back at this time. If when I do I will probably upgrade for the $10

[@joels5150]

The thing that would most entice me to revisiting ZD is a weird feature that probably no one else cares about. I wish they would add a questline to obtain a paraglider outfit, much like the experimental armor from the original game. There are so many great locations that it would be so fun to jump off and go flying down past mountaintops and over valleys at high speed. For $10, I can see myself picking it up.

[@keeganshigh]

I'm always sad when we don't get Bloodborne 2.

I do not own a PS5 nor an Xbox, but I would be furious to get out of a State of Play just 2 remasters (Horizon clearly not needed or asked) and a surprise sequel. It starts to feel like they are following the Ubish!t model and don't listen to their fans. Even I know that everyone wants a Bloodborne remastered, a Days Gone sequel or some PS3 classics brought back to light. And I am no analyst.

This is why the gaming industry never has to change. No matter how outrageous, outlandish or how trash their practices get, they can release 1 sequel regurgitation, 4 or 5 remasters of things you can ALREADY play and some half work DLC to make people give them all the money. I didn't believe it when i was young, but as i get older, I truly believe that video games at a young age cause severe brain damage. Enjoy the state of the gaming industry.

I recently got Horizon Zero Dawn for about 12 bucks, so I feel like I'm one of the few people that would properly benefit from a PS5 update because I'd then only be spending 22 bucks instead of the 45-70 range most would be. But I also don't want to do that so Sony will stop updating recent games with extremely minor details. You wanna charge me 60 bucks to play Enslaved: Odyssey to the West with PS5 graphics and haptics, I'm all for it, You wanna charge me 10 more bucks to get 3% more pores on characters in Detroit: Become Human, nah I'm good
