Don't really care that much personally I'll just wait. There's plenty of stuff to play. I really want to try the medium for instance but I'm going to have to wait.
I'm sure it's annoying for others though.

I mean that by definition make the platform more appealing and it clearly works. It's nothing new. I'd be fine with discourse surrounding the practice if people were consistent instead of turning it into console wars or justifying why one company doing timed exclusives is better than the others.
Didn't Imran also elude to some kind of big surprise at this SoP? Or was that misinterpreted?
This State Of Play seemed extremely unnecessary. On another note, Sony has done a poor job with their audience, everything that's not a blockbuster AAA game is met with general disappointment and critique. Tbf, most indies release on the platform solely because it's the hardware leader, indies were ignored for most of this gen and it shows.
I think it sucks whenever anyone does it. Sony paying to fuck over Xbox gamers, Xbox paying to fuck over Playstation gamers, etc. It's all bad. It doesn't make me want to buy a PS5 because they got a third party game "exclusive" for a year.
It makes me want to not buy that game.
Most likely FF XVI and Monster Hunter?
Damn, I could definitely see Batman fitting that description. We will see if it gets announced without platforms. Oh, man Era would burn.

Misinterpreted.
Imran knows what Sony has to announce, not when they're actually going to announce it.
As I said on the other thread, it was a OK "event". Not so bad but not also really good, pretty much like every other State Of Play. But they really need to learn that they need to end this things with a heavy hitter.
And they still need to improve the communication to set expectations. Maybe they might need to reveal some games beforehand.

Multiple games huh.
Btw, you get a timestamp from YouTube video when you right click on the video and there's an option saying "copy link from current moment" or something like that.
They told us exactly what to except on twitter and the blog post. At a certain pointed the blame should be pointed elsewhere.
Announce a timed exclusive at a DC Fandom event? Can't see that. It's a candidate, but idk.
Imagine having both Batman and Spider-Man as exclusives.
Era would never recover
What? I think they set the expectations perfectly for this SoP.
Huh? They literally told us what the event was going to be about. They couldn't have set better expectations. Yall just for some reason expect some megaton announcement with these things or they'll end on "oh one final" thing all the time. They tweeted out what would be here. That's what we got. IDK how you get better communication here. Nintendo has many directs that aren't world shattering, but they are solid. This was solid. Showed some very interesting games and good variety. I absolutely love how Sony is showcasing indies again.
It definitely looked like there was another one of those panels after Godfall and the whole thing ended fairly abruptly.
It really felt like something was cut at the last possible moment.
Pretty much. It could use a little oomph but I think it looks potentially fun. It's good to have another MP game that's not first person.
What in the fuck was that State of Play? What couldn't have been shown off in a few blog posts over the course of a week? I'm so sick of waiting around for PS5 news. JFC
Ha! I thought I saw one more blank panel that was coming after Godfall. Hmmmmm
Jimbo had another Timed Exclusive ready to show but realised that the salt levels are already high so he backed off 😈 for now
Still, there are a lot of people complaining that they wanted to see bigger games and that these State Of Plays are a waste of time.
They definitely need to put the words Indies, Third Party, Short, Small or something like that in the titles of these events. Nintendo Direct Indies (Nindies) already set expectations just on the title.
Yup
I checked some older State of Plays and they don't have such a panel after the final game.
Why would you expect PS5 news when they told you not to expect PS5 news. The SoP was fine.
My take on the State of Play
Most interesting games:
Most interesting games:
- Crash 4
- The Pathless
- Crash 4
- Aeon
- Hitman Trilogy VR
- Bugsnax
- Godfall
It was a State of Play to highlight upcoming PS4/PSVR games like they said. People didn't stop making PS4 games after GoT came out.
No they don't. They literally told us in a tweet and blog post what to expect. If anyone expected otherwise they either didn't pay attention or willfully ignored what was said. That's on them. IDk how these are a waste of time when you just had 90k watching on twitch. Tell all those devs these are a waste of time.
Yup thought the same, this is how the September 2019 SOP ended:
State of Play | 24th September 2019
Tune in to State of Play for around 20 minutes of news, including new game reveals, new content from PlayStation’s Worldwide Studios, and a host of other upd...

In today's show there was another space to the right.
We need to apply some crazy brightening techniques and find out what's in that panel!Yup
I checked some older State of Plays and they don't have such a panel after the final game.
I blame Sony for hyping this state of play like crazy before the show.
they promised Smash reveal just to remove it last minute.
You sound entitled? Sony clearly stated what the sop is for, but OK rage on it's the new hip thing to do on the internet.
As for the sop, saw some really interesting games and can not wait to try hitman in VR.
Jeeeeezus
You'll have a big enough backlog to last you well into 2021, lol
Absolutely. Marketing rights, and even some exclusive DLC is "whatever". But paying to keep a game off of a rival console is bullshit and both Sony and Microsoft should be called out for it.
Call out the publisher. Why would Sony or MS care about any of that. They want you on their platform and will do what they can to get you there. Get mad at the publisher accepting i.
Ok I get you hate it but what you said is false. Millions of people literally bought a PS4 for early COD map packs lol. FF7 Remake moved PS4 units.
If it wasn't working, best believe Sony and MS would not be doing it.
Thought it was a great State of Play considering I didn't really know what to expect based on the statements they'd made prior. I actually really enjoyed it.
Not really, since I usually have all 3 platforms. Last time I was upset about it was when RE4 was GC exclusive so I had to buy one. And then they announced it for PS2 lol.
it's classic that once lockdown is over I'll have a massive back log, I feel like since the pandemic I've replayed every game I owned all because I was too stingy and economical to buy a PS4 half a year before the PS5
