[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!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

  Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @  3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST.  Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here  SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members   source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games.   That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source:  x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start  Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am .  We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
