[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!

[Review] God of War (2018)

A near godly experience made slightly mortal by one glaring issue source: www.playstation.com ~ Intro ~ God of War (2018) is a 3rd person action game made by Santa Monica Studio. The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe

[News] Mario Party 3 Is Coming To Switch Online!

Another game for switch online is coming soon source: twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on Twitter, Nintendo have just announced that Mario Party 3 is coming to switch online. This game is a N64 game so it will be available on the N64 app. This does mean you will need the Switch Online Expansion Pack to play it. The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October. Mario Party 3 is a great addition to the line up. The fact that it will have online co-op is a big change. Essentially though, Mario Party is about moving your character around a board with dice rolls, with the aim of collecting Stars. The player with the most stars at the end wins, it really is that simple. The most fun aspects to Mario Party games though are the mini games. Mario Party 3 offers a total of 71 mini games for players to enjoy. Something to note about this game as well, is that, it was the first Mario Party game to feature a story mode. Make sure you give this a try too it's a good way to practice th

Specifically, they have stated that we can expect to be playing this new instalment of the Ys series in Autumn . The exact release date though is unknown.
