[Thoughts] State Of Play 14/09/23


Sony gives us... something... I guess

source: www.youtube.com/@PlayStation

This State of play was around 27 minutes long and showed off a decent amount of games. Most of these games being ones coming out this year or being updated this year. As for what was shown/revealed here is a list:  

- Baby Steps
- Roblox
- Ghostbusters Rise Of The Ghost Lord
- Resident Evil 4 VR Mode
- Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways (DLC)
- Avatar Frontiers of Pandora
- Ghost Runner II
- Deep Earth Collection (Covers)
- HellDivers II
- Spider-Man 2
- Tales Of Arise - Beyond The Dawn
- Honkai Star Rail
- FoamStars
- FF VII Rebirth

For this show I didn't expect too much and my low expectations were about matched. I'm sure fans of final fantasy are really excited for the new trailer for the next part of the FF7 series. Even though I am personally not interested in it the game it does look cool. It was nice to see the Resident Evil 4 separate ways dlc like I had expected and the VR is good as resident evil games normally translate well to VR. I would give more of a mention to Spider-Man 2 but we have already seen quite a bit of it, in fact I have seen fans that didn't want it to show up, due to spoilers. Other than that there wasn't really anything else of note.

Overall, I think it had a few nice things but it was quite lacking. I would rank this showcase at a C. This is because of the lack of games that could have been at the show and the lack of interesting moments in general. Metal Gear Solid 3 or Silent Hill 2 would have made the show better for sure. Personally, the only thing I was interested in was the Resident Evil 4 dlc. Let's hope Sony have a lot of things cooking they just aren't ready to show yet.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

Fully Charged: Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Mario Kart World

Start of a new series! Fully Charged is a series in which I go over games I have recently played. Each instalment will release when I have played 2-4 games, updates or demos. With less time for this blog now, I won't be doing many, if any, full reviews. This series will instead cover the games I have played critically, in a mini-review format. Mario Kart World https://store.nintendo.co.uk This is the game everyone has been playing recently if they got a Switch 2. I want to start off by saying I quite like this game, it feels quite different from 8 in a good way. One of the biggest things I like about the games feel, is the control. Vehicles in this game do not feel as stiff. How could I not mention the wall driving and rail grinding too, those add a lot more depth to tracks and are very fun to do. The new knockout tour is a great addition to the series, I find myself playing these just as much as grand prix's. Free roam is quite fun, there are some cool challenges to do within ...

[Thoughts] Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC?

  DLC for Tears of the kingdom could happen but I don't think it's likely Source: Author's edit I want to start off by saying I do not think this game needs DLC at all, though it would be welcome. Breath of the Wild had an expansion pass with 3 waves of content. Looking at the contents of that could give us an idea about what a Tears of the Kingdom expansion pass could look like. The first wave (Expansion pass purchase bonus) was available at the games launch and included the following: - 3 new treasure chests This was a very small wave featuring 3 chests of goodies. The biggest thing from this was a Nintendo Switch shirt link could wear. It was a nice little extra to start the game off with but definitely not the defining content of the pass. Moving on, The second wave (DLC pack 1) offered a lot more in terms of content, with it offering these following things: - Trail of the Sword - Master mode - Heroes path mode.  This wave offered many things to test the players skill...
