They need one as if that show was it until June, Holy shit. Hopefully there's something else before than....?

Its not really a new studio though it's been around since 2014 and worked on the Last Guardian

Gamers and short term memory. Name a better duo. Yes, that first year showcase had pretty much all the heavy hitters + the indie darlings.

Oh I get it, another showcase after the regulatory shit is over and done. Well played Sony, timing is everything.

There's a difference between a State of Play and a Showcase.
A Showcase is where Sony typically brings out the big guns for third party announcements, and that's where they roll out their first party. State of Play rarely have first party announcements, typically they would include updates on already announced content and overall smaller stuff.
Sony hasn't held a Showcase since September 2021. As noted by Grubb, devs not being ready to show their games in 2022 was a reason we didn't get one last year. I'm also a fan of the theory that they've been holding back a showcase until console stock was able to actually catch up to demand. I mean, why hold a showcase to convince people to go out and buy your console, when you're already selling every single unit you can make? We know that Sony's set to ship a massive number of consoles next FY, so saving a showcase makes sense so people who are excited can actually go out and pick a PS5 up.
Incidentally this might explain why we got some unusually strong State of Plays featuring third party content in 2022, if they were originally meant for a Showcase, but that got canned since first party weren't ready.

Sure but Epic are funding it so it won’t be exclusive no matter what

Yes, but that was with the support of PlayStation Studios: their tech, processes, producers, etc. It's not as easy to suddenly work without that support system, which is why they may or may not have needed some support.
Epic would be a good partner for them, but they may have also reached out to PlayStation as they'd already be comfortable and familiar with everything.

Really?
They just released PS VR 2, and new games keep popping up.
Today, they had a pretty good show, with several games launching in March.
Then in April, they have Horizon Burning Shores.
They'll most likely hold the show in May (that's "before E3 time," as Grubb originally said).

I think this is accurate.
We’ll likely see;
That’s very, very exciting.
We’ll likely see;
- Multiple first party single player games (Spider-Man, Wolverine, Sucker Punch)
- Multiple first and second party GAAS games (TLOU, Deviation, Twisted Metal)
- How serious they are taking PS+ extra and Ps+ premium.
- PC expansion
- PSVR2 games from 1st party teams
That’s very, very exciting.

That was not a pretty good show...it was abysmal when you think it's sonys first major show of 2023...
They have just launched psvr 2 and a day after showed a weak as hell set of trailers for games....do they even care about psvr 2? Doesn't look like it.
Then a bunch of multi plats you can play anywhere. They even showed the pc version of destiny 2 and they own the studio.
It was the worst show of anyone in years..if you think otherwise ....Well...
What do they have for the next 7 months or maybe more?

It was not a major show and they released GT7, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, MLB The Show and The Last of Us Part I last year.

PS VR 2 launch games are "week as hell" which means Sony doesn't care about PS VR 2. Yet they have more games than Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, and Quest 2 at launch.
Are you implying that Microsoft does not even care about Xbox and Meta does not care about Quest?
Here are the console exclusives that were shown just in this State of Play:
- Tchia
- Wayfinder
- Street Fighter 6 (PS4)
- Humanity
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Goodbye Volcano High
- The Foglands
- Green Hell
- Synapse
- Journey to Foundation
- Before Your Eyes
You guys really are funny, I swear
But if you gotta troll, at least troll harder. This is quite easy to spot and counter, and not very fun to be honest

Spot on! Pointless buying Konami as they don't add anything to Sony. They could buy the IP or do a partnership as suggested above.

But you did forget all the others too.
Doesn't matter if you liked them or not, they did release all those games, and most of them found critical and/or commercial success.

It was a state of Play not a E3 type of showcase event. They showed various games. Most of which will release sooner rather than later.

Here are the console exclusives that were shown just in this State of Play:
So 11 out of 16 games (or 68% games) are PlayStation console exclusive.
- Tchia
- Wayfinder
- Street Fighter 6 (PS4)
- Humanity
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Goodbye Volcano High

Might be time to put him on ignore. He's a straight up troll now who never brings anything to the discussion.

For sure they will bring it. Rumors are that this new version will launch in September (along with Spider-Man 2 or TLOU Online maybe).
Because the base version won't have a disc, its price will be lower -- at the very least it'll match the PS5 price before they increased it due to inflation, i.e., $499 worldwide.
And they really are smelling blood. The PS+ Premium sudden jump in quantity and quality and promotion is also a bellwether.

Not to mention other unannounced first-party titles and some big third-party titles.
- TLOU Online gameplay and explanation

- Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement
- KOTOR Remake gameplay (maybe)
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Horizon Online
- Silent Hill
- Metal Gear Solid
- Twisted Metal
- Helldivers 2
- Wolverine in-engine trailer
- Death Stranding 2 gameplay
- Next Astrobot
- Spider-Man 2 gameplay
New model PS5 o PS5 Slim.

I really doubt that's a significant factor in anything, assuming it even is. Also, regulators have inside documents into Sony's operation, they know what Sony are capable of outputting, they're not morons.
Grubb saying that's devs just weren't ready in 2022 for the showcase just makes infinitely more sense. As does the theory that they would wait for console stock availability to be high before holding a showcase to convince people to go out and get a PS5.

Street fighter 6 ain't exclusive.
Look, I get you need to defend your beloved Sony but I'm not getting into it if you didn't think that was weak. Good for you.
I also said, their showing for psvr 2 was weak. Is that what you think is OK to show one day after it launched? Some little dribble of the same looking games?
You do you. That ain't good enough. Look at the polls. It's comfortably at trash to terrible rating.
I think tchia looks amazing though.

Both Street Fighter and RE4 Remake are PlayStation console exclusives for last-gen. They are releasing on PS4 but not on Xbox One.
Actually, no, I don't need to defend PlayStation. Why would anyone feel the need to defend something that's already on top?
PS VR 2 lineup is absolutely fantastic. it's your bias that doesn't allow you to see that.
Resident Evil Village, Horizon CoTM, Walking Dead, Moss 2, GT 7, Pavlov, Wingman, Song in the Smoke, Beat Saber, No Man's Sky, Star Wars, Tetris, Cities Skyline, Kayak. And there are 25 more games that are available in the launch window. There are too many games -- way more than games that were available with other hardware launches, Xbox One X, Series X, PS VR 1, Quest 2, etc.
So your trolling that PS VR 2 is not launching with any games has already been proven wrong.
You also trolled with a false claim that the State of Play only showed "a bunch of multiplat games." I listed and proved that 68% of the games are PS console exclusives.
You brought up "how bad the State of Play was" in a thread about an upcoming PlayStation Showcase, trying to derail the thread. You also tried derailing the thread by bringing in incorrect information about the multiplats which I had to correct. Now that you're caught with that, you are pretending to take the high ground by saying "you do you; I'm not getting into it."
You ain't fooling anyone.

Oh dear. You are using ps4 vs xbox one in your argument? Cmon man.
And if you've seen my posts I think psvr hardware is amazing.
Let's see what the market thinks

Seriously. The only exclusive, next gen, game I played on it in over 2 years was Ratchet. Sure the PS5 versions of games are better, but I paid 500 + tax for something new, not a PS4ProPlus.

The rumors are that Sony and Konami will soon announce a partnership.
I don't think it'll be an acquisition, but more like a partnership where Sony will help revive Konami old IPs with their production support, and Konami will bring their games exclusively to PlayStation.
Silent Hill, Castlevania, and Metal Gear Solid are all inbound on PS5!
Bring back Ring of Red........ pls Sony!!!

Event dates is about the only thing he ever gets right. Each year he has a Grubb summer game mess thing, where he often announces event dates before they’re made public.

Best game in the souls genre, i thinking of playing again after i just beat elden ring and imho it fucking sucks
Funny thing is after beating FarCry 6 I felt like hurting myself. Had a good time with the game but I felt like it didn't punish me enough. So I'm going with a PS4 title called Sekiro.
Kind of funny how I still have plenty to play since I missed out on many titles from the PS4 era. Even though I had a PS4 since launch.
