I'm not convinced we're getting anything TLoU related on the same day as the media after what Shinobi said and we don't know if Geoff was supposed to announce the media event like he did.
I guess that works.
Oh yeah, that's interesting what shinobi said. It could very well be that we are not getting any TLOU2 news in the SoP but a couple days later.
I hope they do it in more of a Nintendo Direct style of presentation if they do have people showing up on the stream, more than a inside xbox style.
I didn't even bother with the side content because i heard that they were bad. Although after thinking about it i think it's an 8/10 for me too lol
I can't see it being first-party. At this point I think anything unannounced has either shifted to the PS5 entirely or is being held back for a PS4/PS5 joint launch.
Oh yeah! Didn't think about that but it would definitely improve the presentation.
While that would be cool, I hope they come up with their own unique ideas instead. I'm actually hoping they have a few people from Media Molecule helping out with the format. They always seem to come up with quirky ideas.
Would be nice to see Tim Turi doing something on videos now that he works for PlayStation Social Media. Sid Shuman is a nice guy, but he lacks charisma, something that the people from PS Access has a lot for example.
as long as it isn't just people live talking or sitting in some round table talking then I am fine
have the current SoP template then toss in a person between some sections like a Direct and we are golden

we could get a new trailer at SoP and then previews on friday
something similar happened in the first state of play. Right after the show, Sony hosted preview events that had Concrete Genie VR and Iron Man VR and we got previews for those games the following week
Yes, make it snappy but personable. Directs have really evolved and nailed the presentation.
Why are you against real talking REAL talker?!
Joke, I agree with you.
You made the right call. One of them is literally Spider-Man chasing some birds. Perhaps it is consistent with his character (Spider-Man would help anybody in need regardless of how small or big), but that doesn't make for engaging content on the player's part.
I think that stuff will be better next go round.
What games y'all think will be updated?
Concrete Genie and MediEvil are musts.
Agreed. The last two were quite boring, hence the lack of excitement.
i dont think the second state of play was that bad, FF7R satisfied most.
So it is a State of Play around Outbreak Day (Outbreak Day is 2 days later). It won't be all about TLOU2. Which means I can still dream about a Demon's Souls Remastered announcement :)
Can't wait!
They'll grow organically, I think, assuming that Sony delivers good content. I think the end of the generation was the wrong time to launch State of Play really, but I guess they can get a feel for what works and doesn't work before they go big with PS5.
The thing with Sony sometimes is that they don't fully commit to things; if they want State of Play to be a big deal like Nintendo Direct, then they need to make it their focus over press conference-style events moving forwards. (Although obviously the PS5 reveal should be live.)
I think they're gonna end up with a trailer for TLoU and a release date, then on the 26th we'll get the previews and articles from the media event.
Tbh I am still not sure if state of play format works for Sony.
There's really no reason it can't as long as they stick with it. Nintendo's success with the format wasn't built over night, but they committed to it.
Their last game only came out 18 months ago. Give them time; especially considering their next game is supposed to be their biggest project ever.
I think the biggest issue is that Nintendo only does Direct's as they dropped conferences entirely. While Sony hasn't had a conference in over a year, as far as we know they're still going to do them. So they aren't going to pour everything they have into SoP's like Nintendo will with Direct's.
That said, now is the best chance for them to impress with SoP's since they aren't doing conferences at the moment. So they can show the big games that tehy have and that'll impress people. Realistically speaking, since they first started these people have wanted to see Part II.
that is not my point.
a major part of a direct is the 3~5 minute long "deep dives" where they detail the game mechanics in an edited video and with a narrator, but obviously something like that wouldnt work for most of their games (i'd say it could work for death stranding). Their games work much better with either a 2 minute trailer or a 10 minute gameplay demo (you never see long gameplay cuts in a direct because those formats are about fast pace).
i am comparing it to previous state of play threads, the pace is slowing down, and not just on era, i think the engagement for state of play episodes by the community in general is going down. That is important because lower engagement means less numbers watching and hurts the reach of the state of play.
if they cant get to increase the viewer numbers, then they are better off going back to conferences.
State of Plays are perfectly fine. I hope Sony will have 1 conference every year next gen and the rest is SoP. People who don't like them can watch the trailers afterwards on Youtube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unless Sony's games feature no gameplay systems and are just interactive movies, the bolded will work for all their games as well.
They have just chosen not to present their games in that light.
Quite a lot of Directs are average at best and snorefests at worst. There are of course ones they knock it out of the park but let's not pretend many low points do not exist.
I don't want sony to give up conferences. The energy of live conferences is something entirely different. No direct video format can match a good conference showing. Keep the State of play to bridge the gaps in between but still have a few major conferences every year = perfection

Well, Part II is the obvious contender, but I was thinking Iron Man VR as well
because there is only so much real talk that can go around before it is just plain talk ;P
and is that how people would like to see, for example the last of us part 2? i dont think a 4 minute narrated video explaining the gameplay mechanics would have got anywhere near the level of interest as the E3 2018 gameplay reveal. i really do think that different type of games need to be shown differently. Not all games benefit from that type of deep dive showcase.
That's what I hope. A PSX in fall and the rest will be State of Plays. Just perfect! :)
They can do PSX around E3 in June. Maybe on Saturday or Sunday to bring the major public.
