Ghost of Tsushima Gameplay Is the Most Watched State of Play Yet

This should be a thing for Sony going forward ,single game SOP works well.
Anyway, we're clearly not the only ones who enjoyed watching Ghost of Tsushima emerge from the shadows, as the gameplay deep dive is now the most watched State of Play yet. Its view count clocks in at 1.5 million views in just three days since it premiered. The closest State of Play in terms of views is the one from September 2019, which ended with a trailer for The Last of Us: Part II. It currently sits at 750,000 views, which means that there's quite a gap between first and second place.

Did Spider-Man not have one? I feel like that would've gotten numbers too.

Good for Sony and Sucker Punch, I am shocked it beat TLoU2 but new Sony IPs always bring the hype.

No surprise there. It was their best constructed SOP yet that gave us a deep dive on a game that many people were super hungry for

Makes sense as it's pretty much one of the very few SoPs that feature a major first party game, and the other ones that did were not extensive as this one.

Was a good showing and hopefully Sony take note and see the positive reactions on how they can best structure future State of Plays.

What, I thought it was too generic and derivative with lame gameplay and downgraded graphics/s

Congrats to Sucker Punch. Game is shaping up to be their breakout success even more so than Sly or InFamous

Probably helps that they showed so little gameplay for this one in the previous years leading up to the SoP.

That's nice to hear. It was the best State of Play so far and one of the best examples of a deep dive I've ever seen.

Sony needs to do it for all of their big games.

Are you factoring in the many other channels that upload the same gameplay? I doubt LoU is trailing behind GoT

Let's hope they keep state of play for deep dives into their premiere games. Find a new format for announcements.

Yeah, I think this is how they should use State of Play moving forwards. Was a very enjoyable watch.

It beating TLOU2/RE3's State of Play is interesting... This is the format Sony, you finally cracked the code.

It was a great deep dive into the game. Kind of reminds me of those Rockstar hype videos. Just like those it works in giving insight into what exactly the game is trying to be and keeping plenty behind closed doors.

Wow it took days. I know I've seen it multiple times, in addition to watching a variety of live streamer/youtuber reactions, which doesn't count toward the overall number. Good shit Sucker Punch, you hit this one out of the park!

Yeah SoPs are a great way to give us an in-depth look into how a game plays.

Agreed. Just wished they used a better narrator. I thought he lacked enthusiasm.

It's the best one they've made so far. The others has been pretty poor, but they definately improved on the formula when going on the one game focus

For future SOPs they should just be deep dives into 1 or 2 titles from first party, what Sony has done really well this gen is those types of gameplay demonstrations. Think about The Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn, God Of War, Days Gone initial trailers and now Ghost Of Tsushima, they didn't have much in the way of commentary and they immersed you into the world.

I mean, it is the first lengthy overview of a game that comes out in two months and whose previous overview was an extended trailer of some gameplay footage during the Game Awards.

I would hope it would be among the better performing State of Plays.

Was it the first time they announced what game would appear for one of these? It might also help that we didn't have much media before this SOP. The SOPs for the PS5 games will break records i imagine and cement these things as Sony's direct equivalents.

I'm surprised, but FF7 didn't get a whole State of Play dedicated to it.

Square-Enix masterfully gave their own Final Fantasy VII gameplay presentation at E3 2019. I realize it's associated with PlayStation but Final Fantasy VII - unlike Ghost - is not a Sony game. That said, if Square wanted Sony to do a SOP blowout I'm sure they would have, but they clearly wanted to do their own and it made for my favorite moment of that E3.

I think that i like this format better instead of showing off multiple games at once. It gives them a chance to give in depth information putting the spotlight on on individual titles.

It was good to finally see a game demo again. I was honestly convinced we were done seeing public demos.
