Well, that was about as bad as expected. Everything except maybe Little Devil Inside looked awful. I don't know what the point of these things even is.

First Class Trouble looked dope. If it takes the Among Us formula into interesting directions I'm sold. And it's hitting so soon!

Better State of Play than expected.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Wasn't expecting a new Star Ocean, cool.

Also LDI... I expected more. Previous trailers made me think it might be open world, and seeing how the world traversal actually is was a huge let down for me. Also the combat seems to not be good.

No thanks to Deathverse. Not my kind of game. Looked good at the start, and then as the trailer progressed, continued to look worse.

No thanks to OFK. Negative interest in whatever the fuck that's supposed to be.

Looking forward to playing the first Bugsnax still. If DLC isn't free, I'll pass.

Freddy's has overstayed its welcome almost as much as Deathloop, IMO, but it doesn't get the same hate. I'm very not interested.

Death's Door looks pretty damn cool. I want to see more.

No thanks to Kartrider. Good job on the music for the trailer though.

KOF? Meh.

First Class Trouble is different...but not in a good way IMO. Not my jam.

Star Ocean was unexpected. I'm intrigued for sure.

LITTLE DEVIL!!! Why do I get a Wes Anderson vibe from this game? There's still so little shown of the game, even after tonight. That was a bit anticlimactic. I've seen more gameplay of the game on YT. I don't like that after all this time, there's still very little in the way of explaining how all the gameplay slices shown so far tie together. Yeah, he's on a journey, and there's an overworld that seems split into different themed areas that can be explored. But I'd prefer just a 5-minute walkthrough of a specific area in the game, where multiple mechanics can be demonstrated. I'm not convinced the game is as deep as it's previously been shown to be.

Ending the show on a 6 year old indie PC game. Quite incredible whats happened to Playstation lately. Being a PS fan nowadays is like being in a marriage thats destined to fail. You keep holding on hoping things will change, and you will be back to how things used to be before you got married, but day after day, the disappointment builds up and things only keep getting worse.

Maybe it's unfair to expect so much from these state plays, but the Sony of old wouldve never even held a show like this. They used to care about quality over quantity. They took pride in these shows and blowing people away. Hell, they pretty much started the whole 'React to video game trailers' trend on youtube. Before that, the only reaction videos we got were for the Red Wedding or the ending of certain games. Sony knew trailers and game demos during conferences were their own art form.

That was godawful, like most state of plays are. funny enough, the only good ones i can recall, was when they hyped the ps5, or hype new games for the ps5 itself. Every other state of play has been a waste of time.
 
Little Devil Inside looks fantastic, but what a shame for the developers to share the same presentation with all that trash. I think this is awful for the PlayStation brand and makes me think about when we had the Nintendo Seal of Quality or minimal quality control over content from the platform owners.
 
Lmao apparently you can't have a show for indies - that should be a blog post.
Stop taking this shit so seriously, they're fucking video games. Its supposed to be fun.

Little Devil Inside has an amazing art style...still not sold on the gameplay though.
And yeah...that's about it. Was a bunch of videos they could have just uploaded to their youtube channel instead of getting people excited
