The big show is only 20 mins long?

Eh, been disappointed too many times by state of plays so not expecting anything. Sony has been on a roll since 2020 September with really shit pointless shows while so many rumours are floating about.

It will probably be:

Tokyo Ghostwire taking up most of the show
Deathloop DLC
Final Fantasy 16 delay to 2023
RE8 dlc
Probably squeeze Kena in there too


While these rumours will carry on for another million years

Announce Spartacus already
MGS and Silent Hill Rumours
1st Party and 3rd party exclusives
TLOU multiplayer and TLOU1
Miyazaki game rumour

My bet:
  • God of War Ragnarok release date trailer
  • Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement trailer
  • Resident Evil Village DLC + next gen updates of the previous ones
  • Ghostwire Tokyo trailer
  • Sonic Frontiers gameplay reveal trailer
  • Stray release date announcement teaser
  • GTAV + GTA Online PS5 stuff trailer
  • Crappy Bandai Namco stuff (Dragon Ballbreakers / Pac-Man Rehashed Museum / DC League or Super Pests) trailer
  • Final Fantasy XVI trailer. At the end a Square Enix folk apologizes for delaying FFXVI and Forspoken
  • Absolutely NOTHING from Konami or Silent Hill. The Konami IP think was a joke from a joke account, not a rumor
  • Spartacus announced, gets released tomorrow
  • Jimbo announces the acquisition of a Japanese publisher cosplaying Spartacus, wearing a thong. Instead of being on Thursday this State of Play is on Wednesday meaning Jimbo buys Sega and the day after tomorrow Phil Spencer announces he'll acquire Andrew Wilson's wife but Andrew kicks Phil's ass because he is black belt of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

So the rumors were true?Is there any chance we will see sony announce they got the rights for these two konami franchises gaming forums like to speculate and get enthusiastic all the time(even if half of them wouldnt buy them even if they really come)?
The Konami IP was only a joke from a joke account. Later it was mentioned on that account that the IP was Frogger and that was going to be for an exclusive David Cage game.

Bloodborne remaster baby, let's go!!!

I think they won't announce Bloodborne stuff today, but Elden Ring becoming that successful I assume it means Bloodborne remaster, PC port, sequel, movie and even panties can be considered as confirmed.

Silent Hill, finally!

Did Square mention anything about their next showing of 16? I'm going to have to check.
Edit:
So that leaves us with the question, when can we expect the next round of information? Well, I am happy to announce the current plan is to conduct our next big reveal in spring of 2022 as we seek to build excitement leading up to the game’s eventual release.
Does March 9th count as Spring ???
 

NeonGhost

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
They did mention other studios besides the studios in Japan, so hoping for a Witcher update.
You wont see anything from the Witcher 3 at a PlayStation event since Microsoft had the marketing rights when that game came out

I'd say:
- Chrono Cross Remaster
- A little bit of FFXVI
- Too soon for Street Fighter VI
- No Forspoken
- Castlevania?

I hope to god this is a parody post.

It's just a 20 minute stream lol.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
They don't need more than 20 minutes to show you a bunch of trailers for games that are at least a year away.

Going to watch as I usually like japanese games. Not going to be overly excited, considering it a small SoP and that's fine.

So no big SoP/Sony event like some twitter insiders were saying? Damn, they are trying so hard since last year to get it right lol

Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement trailer
MMMMMMH...

Interesting.

As I said several times, in Sony's pants I'd go for full exclusivity on this one, as they have not CRPG to go against the "horde" which is about to be unleashed by Microsoft.

So, if Dragon's Dogma 2 is there, I expect it to be announced with a looooong (if not "total") exclusivity dead.

Wait, what was that wording? Oh, yes, "development partnership". ;)

Ask me about my Stream Deck
All these predictions that they are going to heavily feature games that came out last year 😂 it does say updates but also first looks.

Notes from blogpost:

  • No details on PSVR 2
  • Some western games might show up
  • Expect "new reveals and eye-catching updates for PS5 and PS4 titles" (duration: 20 minutes)

So you are saying they moved Forspoken back because a certain numbered Final Fantasy moving into a summer slot? That would be fucking amazing.

lol these State of Plays keep getting shorter.

By the end of the gen, we will have a 3 minute state of play featuring a classic Sony montage of Deathloop.
No, they have mostly been around 20 minutes long except for 2 or 3 shows that crossed the 30 minutes mark.

 
Rumors right about a show but doesn't seem to be big, only being 20 minutes. No vr stuff. So keep expectations low and be pleasantly surprised.

A lot of people seem pretty optimistic about this one huh. Guess I'm gonna be strapping myself in for 17 minutes of Ghostwire followed by 3 minutes of fuck all.

Eye catching updates even for PS4 titles ? Does this mean Switch ports ? I hope not.

Probably smaller and/or third party projects, I don't expect new first party AAA projects to be announced on PS4 now, other than the ones we know are already in development.

Keeping my expectations low as these smaller ones are usually terrible. RE4 Remake and FFXVI would be sweet though.
