Its too early for a showcase. Last year's showcase happened in Sep.
Most of the games shown at the showcase are usually ways out. So I am thinking we will see the showcase in the Fall again this year in preparation for the games being released in 2023 and early 2024.

Yeah, he has been dropping them for every update on GT7 the past couple of months. They are unrelated.
Cory and crew teasing GoWR on the other hand...

I'm pretty sure we'll get a showcase style presentation this year and I think news on GoW won't be able to wait for it unless it's really delayed. Sony just knows that the E3 timeframe makes no sense anymore for them.
I think there's too much on the pipeline for them finish the year without a proper E3 style showcase. TLoU Part I will have a window of 3 months between being announced and released and GoW Ragnarok might still be a 2022 all bets are off at this point.

Expecting a GoWR-focused SoP this month & a big showcase in September.

Honestly it’s do or die for Silent Hill.

They know they can afford to now. A GoW State of Play release date trailer would make the wait even easier

I don't see them skipping their big show this year, they'll likely want to show some more games for the 1st half of 2023

Didn't Dusk Golem say none of it is being revealed till 2023?

I’m pretty much at the point where if we don’t see it this year it’s pretty much a lie to me.

I don’t really like the format of these (from what I can recall at least). I would prefer an in person host with a bit more spontaneity and energy.

I dunno, that film director talking about it gave me hope

Please announce PSVR2 release date and price while being reasonable, that's all I'm asking.

That's a lot of hoping.

People want to play Ragnarok this year. I think it’s normal.

Yeah I'm thinking it's a pretty strong lock for release this year. This will be the last game I buy for my Pro and given the Xbox AAA drought won't end until next year, this will be a great game over the holidays.

Or a good time to get a Ragnarok PS5 bundle.

State of Play? We need an actual showcase.

Probably just a content update, though I think one thing I'd be excited to check out (if it ever happens) would be an announcement of in-race RT for Gran Turismo 7.
...I don't have a lot of confidence that it'll ever happen (they currently can't do better than 30fps RT in replays, and there's not much evidence that the Sony tech library has built in any significant way to leapfrog over the current implementation,) but it would be fun if GT could somehow go for it and have a mode that adds more competition to talk about vs FM by the time that comes out. Forza ultimately would probably keep the upper hand with its newer and current-gen-optimized engine (and if nothing else, it has the amazing damage model that GT would never go for,) but it'd be fun to see the two racers jockey around a bit more in the lead-up to Forza's launch.

Im ok with a SoP that gives me a GoW release date, Hogwarts release date, and maybe some Spidey 2 gameplay
That would make it a great SoP

I'm not very confident on seeing these games running at 4K 60fps + RT on a console during gameplay. Maybe in a mode at a lower resolution and/or at 30fps. We'll have to wait and see.

Sure, I feel I had to let it go when GT7 came out and couldn't do in-race RT, same as Forza Horizon 5 (both after Spider-Man MM, which launched without RT and did add RT reflections in later, at 60 but not 4K and on buildings. It just seemed like a feature to never expect.) But then when Forza announced its bag of tricks, including 4K 60 RT, and sure, that's over a year later on an engine customized for only Xbox Series (also you can look at where it compromises and get some comprehension of how it's pulling the jump off,) but I would like enjoy seeing a counterpunch from the PS competition (or a third party, as we haven't seen Criterion's NFS or some other notable race studios) before Forza's Spring 2023 release. I want a good clean race between these racing titans, and right now GT only has the advantage of time, so it's a little bit of I just want it to want it. If it never happens, so be it, Forza deserves its victory lap either way, but I'd like to see them bunch up tighter as the finish line approaches.
(*And really, I don't know how much RT reflections in-race would really matter? It's details that do add up, but cubemaps do a lot of good work quite efficiently and the things it can't do are things difficult to notice while driving 100+MPH... but details are details.)
