The more they hype the more suspicous i become it's actually anything big.

 

[Swift_Star]

1. Spartacus reveal

2. VR2 Reveal

3. Massive Japanese publisher acquisition, my money is on either Square or Capcom

I don't think 3 has any chance to happen honeslty.

 

[Borowski_1]

 

[Ogbert]

To warrant this sort of fanfare, it has to be a Gamepass style announcement.

 

[Ogbert]

I'm always worried when cringy greg is hyped.

He’s worse than the Dorito Pope.

I still have flashbacks to his screeching at E3. Absolute fanny.

 

[IDKFA]

My expectations are sky high for this.

Spartacus reveal - one tier will allow you to download and stream PS1,2,3,4 and 5 games.

Bloodborne 2 and 1 remaster for PS5

Confirmed purchase of Capcom and announces new Power Stone, Dragon's Dogma 2 and confirmation the whole Capcom BC, including the Marvel Vs Capcom games will be on Spartacus on day one.

Confirmed purchase of Square. All SE games are available on Spartacus day 1, plus a new FFXVI trailer.

PSVR2. More information and a few games mentioned.

 

[cormack12]

I'm gonna go with the first GTA VI tease/logo/trailer

 

[Sidney Prescott]

I did read something the other day about them announcing that. I'm very intrigued about it, as it might be worth investing in if it's a lot better than PS Now is currently. I'd definitely have Game Pass if I was an Xbox user.

 

[FingerBang]

1. Spartacus reveal

2. VR2 Reveal SOP

3. Massive Japanese publisher acquisition, my money is on either Square or Capcom

Those are the rumors going around, not in this order.

I wouldn't be surprised if n2 was to happen this Wednesday, since it's the day they should announce the new games.

The PSVR2 SoP could happen on Thursday

That leaves the acquisition for today.

Unless they make a big SOP for Thursday that has all of that. In that case, the announcement might be today or tomorrow.

In other words, we'll know more soon.

 

[obie]

Yeah. The guy took like 6 months off for the birth of his child? I can see a month, but man-up dude!

Wait what? Are you honestly criticizing him for staying with his new born then going to work?
Im no fan of him either. But this is a frail criticism.

 

[Bragr]

This better not be that lame PS Neo thing, hopefully, they come with the big guns.

 

[reksveks]

yeah, its a bit of a weird one. if you got the means and capability to use extended paternal leave, do it or don't do it but it's not really anyone elses business or place to judge.

Be careful everyone April is approaching

Be careful everyone April is approaching

Big news on Friday confirmed!

 

[Belthazar]

Yeah. The guy took like 6 months off for the birth of his child? I can see a month, but man-up dude!

What? Is staying home with his wife and kids not "manly"now? What a weird criticism.

 

[Mephisto40]

Metal Gear Solid : Mobile Ops

 

[Markio128]

Be careful everyone April is approaching

Very good point.

This thread reminds me of people overhyping themselves for the last two State of Plays.

Well to be fair the last two SOP Sony told people to turn down their expectations. They haven't said anything yet so people are speculating big things due to what others are saying.

I honestly don't believe it's just Spartacus. Although I'm unsure on how many more announcers we. get. Some PSVR2 info would be nice.

 

[kyliethicc]

People, there’s no way it’s an acquisition. None of the previous ones even leaked, it’s most likely game-related.

Its probably just PS Plus and or God of War.

This isn't even official yet. People are just assuming that's happening, and that's its also going to be big because insiders said so.

There hasn't been ONE Sony direct that has been good so far. They have all been dissapointments to varrying degrees.

The only type of presentation that is worth watching, as far as Sony goes, are their showcases or PS Experiences. So we will see what this ends up being.

dedicated SoP to one game were good. Like the ones for Horizon and Hogwarts

 

[Nautilus]

Ok, I grant you these directs were good. The ones I meant were about the general ones.

 

[GymWolf]

He’s worse than the Dorito Pope.

I still have flashbacks to his screeching at E3. Absolute fanny.

Yeah, way worse than dorito pope.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ok, I grant you these directs were good. The ones I meant were about the general ones.

Well usually Sony tells people to turn down their expectations if there isn't much to be seen. I'm guessing if there's one of those this week they will do the same if there isn't much to it.

 

[DJ12]

It would affect EA exactly cause its competition. It might be needed but to assume that Sony could make/publish a UEFA game without impacting the relationship with EA is a bit naive imo.

I'm still struggling to see why anyone should care.

It's not as if EA would need pacifying. What are they going to do, not release their game on PlayStation out of spite.

 

[ckaneo]

Video game journalist have to be the worst teasers

 

[DJ12]

No, EA has a UEFA licence. They wouldn't be able to have the Champions league in their games if not. They even extended their agreement last year: https://www.ea.com/news/ea-sports-fifa-global-expansion

Not exclusive by the looks of that. But who knows the ins and outs. I guess if it was like their fifa licence they would use uefa branding and not be going do the ea football route though.

 

[DJ12]

This thread reminds me of people overhyping themselves for the last two State of Plays.

Nice to have something to look forward too.

Just a shame leakers always act like it's the biggest news they've ever heard.

Gotta get those clicks though I guess for the online penis measuring contest they're all in.

gonna be a long week

I am not saying consumers should care. Don't know how you read that from my comments but okay?

You don't believe that EA wouldn't respond by refusing to extend any marketing deals that they have with Sony or slowly prioritise other platforms with maybe deals that include GP day one for a FUT mode or something? If you don't, that's fine but I personally do believe that Sony realising a football game would influence EA's decisions regarding the platform that they prioritise.

 

[Camreezie]

My guess is Spartacus reveal and God of War Ragnarok blowout and release date for the middle of the year

 

[Sickteddy]

Tomorrow is the day

 

[Markio128]

I do wonder if the Forspoken release date was moved to later in the year because of a potential GOWR summer release…..

 

[The Cockatrice]

Besides GOWR receiving a release date, nothing else will be eventful this week. Stop believing all these twitter journos bs.

 

[Interfectum]

What will Greg Miller do if the big announcement is that Harry Potter bought PlayStation?

 

[AmuroChan]

He will throw someone under the bus. He's very good at that.

that's what i want

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Peeps need to chill, Sony has so many balls in the air, this could just be a ho-hum spartacus explanation/reveal and more integration with discord and netflix.

Never expect big game reveals outside of big shows.

 

[Ozrimandias]

Honestly, I'm pretty excited.
I Hoping Spartacus gets revealed, and available worldwide.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Greg better not be overhyping this but there's more to it than a god of war release date or spartacus. We already know and expect those things. I think its a new game reveal.

 

[Draugoth]

Always hender your expectations low when it comes to so called leakers

 

[Borowski_1]

they won't reveal a game outside of an event, be it a State of Play or a big showcase

 

[aclar00]

Wait, so what's happening? Is he waiting to report on things he's heard about until after it's officially announced? If so, what's the point?

Also is this the guy from Gamespot back in the day?
