So, if Dragon's Dogma 2 is there, I expect it to be announced with a looooong (if not "total") exclusivity dead.
I'm pretty sure it will be there but only with a marketing deal, like RE Village. Maybe with some small exclusivity like exclusive demo/beta (maybe locked to the highest Spartacus tier) or time exclusive DLC or stuff like that. But I see the game being released day one on Xbox.

As I remember it had a H2 2022 date on the Capcom leak (an early 2020 document, pre-covid lockdowns) so I assume it may have been delayed to at least early 2023.

I'll keep my expectations in check: dont think we'll see ffxvi just yet considering that Forspoken was delayed to October and this might've shifted xvi's release to the following year.

nah the only thing we got in june was horizon state of play . the showcase was september
Yes, that's what I said. Never said we got anything in June last year.
Both last two big showcases were in the summer, not at the end of the year.

The SF6 teaser said there won't be SF6 news unttil summer (prettty likely after the SFV EVO finals).


I think Bloober will make a new Silent Hill game instead


Not planned on Capcom's leaked schedule

Why shatter my dreams?

Eye catching updates even for PS4 titles ? Does this mean Switch ports ? I hope not.
I'd say games like Horizon 2, GT7, Final Fantasy VII Remake or God of War Ragnarok and similar qualify as eye catching, even in PS4.

Not expecting much from this at all. Badly-produced SOPs with that voiceover needed to end like yesterday. Plus, this getting announced a day before doesn't instill much confidence. Could just be a lot of filler. Let's see.

All of that rumor mongering for just a typical SoP?

I really can't stand "insiders" :messenger_expressionless:
I think it will be only a random State of Play with maybe only one (my bet of this one being Dragon's Dogma 2 is serious) or if lucky two.

The fake insiders are always saying there's an upcoming state of play, which is obvious since almost every month there is a State of Play. Some of them may said this one will include Spartacus because Bloomberg said Spartacus was planned for Spring so would make sense to announce it here to maybe make some last minute tweak a few weeks before release depending on feedback received.

But being realistic, I think it would make more sense to make next month a State of Play dedicated to OS and services to talk about Spartacus, Discord integration, VRR, PS5 PlayStation Tournaments and who know if some random additional thing like folders etc.

Guessing Ghost Wire ?

20 mins and this early is probably not FF16.

Welllll technically Bethesda is the publisher for GhostWire, right? So that wouldn't be a Japanese publisher

Time is limited we know enough of Ghost Wire. We need more time for a new RE remake
 
The big shows are always billed as something separate to State of Play. I would imagine this was always planned and then the larger show will be later this month.

Yea that's usually how it goes. A little over 20 minutes with trailers for 1 or 2 AAA titles, with the rest being smaller budget & cross-gen titles.
There are too many rumor merchants looking for attention these days. It's at a point where I refuse to believe anything until someone credible actually leaks info that can be corroborated by another credible source.
This is really how it ought to be, but most people will retweet and share damn near anything if it sounds exciting or hype-worthy, with little to no concern about vetting the source or verifying the info.
Just wish we would stop rewarding them.

On a more positive note, at least we'll be getting an update on more Japanese titles. Hoping it's FFXVI, but it could be anything.

They just did an almost 20 minutes showcase dedicated to Ghostwire right after the GT7 SOP so I expect nothing more than a brief trailer (sub-60 secs).
 

Sosokrates

Report me if I continue to console war
It will probably be about GTA5 PS5 edition and the special deal sony has with it.

Im in the boat that believes this will primarily be Ghost Wite Tokyo. Not sure if much, if anything else will be shown. From Deathloop to Ghost Wire....lets hope im surprises.

My expectations are so low that the limbo world champ couldn’t squeeze underneath.

Speaking of which, my Limbo trophy was recently stolen from the shed. I mean, how low can you go?

So, it'll be 15 minutes, since the first five minutes will be the obligatory Playstation logo montage in sparkling blue colours, with a lame CGI 'Play' trailer that takes another three minutes.

Barely any time for me to whip up a fake twitter account, make it private, fill it with a bunch of wild guesses, delete the ones that didn't happen, make it public, and become the talk of the gaming internet with the accuracy in my predictions.
