I think the biggest question is why in the fuck do we need a PLAYSTATION state of play for a MULTIPLATFORM game. This isnt even a timed exclusive like Deathloop and Ghostwire tokyo. This is a straight up Xbox game.

What's next? A fifa state of play? Far Cry state of play? Someone mentioned how 11 out of the 12 games shown at the Japanese state of play were coming to PC on day one.
Hogwarts legacy is the most popular trailer on playstations youtube tied with spiderman at 28 millions views as highlighted in the article blog.

The difference is that this is a dedicated state of play for a multiplatform game. This isnt being showcased in a show with other games like it was back when it was first revealed in September.

People tune in to State of Plays for Playstation exclusives. This isnt that hard.
It doesnt matter to me if this game is being showcased on ps xbox or nintendo

Makes no difference

Well, now that GT and Horizon are out, and Forspoken got delayed, they probably need something to fill the slots.

Maybe they have a bigger stake in marketing than your CoDs.

Who knows.

Playstation has had marketing deals for several franchises. We never got dedicated State of Plays for CoD for example.

the single reply is hillarious


after kyuuji banned cyberpunk and hogwarts, he is now trying to ban any gta v discussion on the site for not removing all the transphobia (wtf?) from the game lmao
Can't wait for when the marketing campaign for the HP game starts and they have full page banner ads on the front page of Resetera. The meltdowns are gonna be good.

Honestly my hype diminished when I read the game had enemy camps and was following open world tropes. I dont know what I was expecting but its not that. I was hoping it would be more akin to traditional zelda where you have to go out to several large multilayer dungeons mixed with a hogwarts lesson based hub. We'll see .

Didn't they do a State of Play for that Bethesda game? That wasn't exclusive. And the one a few days ago, were they all exclusives?

Kinda weird having a full state of play dedicated to a single multiplatform third party game. But I'm definitely interested in seeing more of this game

You are over thinking it, its a financial deal. WB wants to leverage a big channel with a dedicated audience, they cut Sony a big check, Sony then uses their channel for them. There is nothing saying the State of Play can't be used that way. Sony never once said "Only XX will ever appear on this channel"

It's hilarious you think WB cut the check
Why wouldn't they? State of Play is a content marketing channel, WB is in full on movie promotional mode right now for Fantastic Beast 3, and leveraging that films marketing budget to help all other HP IP's at this time. WB is buying up tons of OTT and other media channels right now.

yes! this is the game i've been excited for most after Elden Ring in 2022 (assuming BOTW2 gets pushed to 2023). i fucking love Harry Potter and have been desperate for a new game for years. i still play the old ones on my PS2.

Because its the other way around.

They make it clear to you the reason for a SOP for a multiplatform game..... "trailer was viewed 28 million times".

The goal is to link Harry Potter to Playstation. Take advantage of the strength of the IP to advertise PS5 and (as has happened before) leave the (false) feeling of an exclusive game among the most casual public.

That is, a effective tactic that is not new and has been used by companies for a long time.

I guess if thats what you want its a cool show.
The rest of us are waiting for NEW stuff And rumoured games to be confirmed. Literally we’ve had 2 first party games shown since 2020…

Spartacus?
TLOU remake and fractions 2?
MGS and Silent Hill??
Miyazaki rumoured game?
Final Fantasy Tactics?
What the other 1st party studios are up to? We’ve only seen Spiderman 2 and Wolverine since September 2020 as far are first party games go

Bring back E3, it forces these guys to put on good shows at the same time as each other

Awesome. Finally some more Hogwarts Legacy which was somewhat like a rollercoaster ride so far for me since I was not sure if this game will end up in development hell due to internal (but also external) factors.

No idea how many years it has been since I first read the HP book, but ever since I dreamt about a good HP game and I am still excited for it
