PlayStation State Of Play Announcements: FF7 Remake Intergrade PS5, Returnal, And More

@Barighm: Yes, they have them as well.

But, I feel that a majority of the PS4 games were indie games. For myself, they just did not have enough of the big titles that I enjoy. Which is what I clarified above. I enjoyed the God of War and that was about it. All of the others were cross platform releases.

Microsoft had more of the games that were fun to me. I missed the Halo series, Gears series, State of Decay series, Fable series (which they just announced a new one coming out) when I was on the PS4. Plus, as I stated I got fed up with the constant errors and crappy download speeds of their network.

I noticed when I bought the new Xbox, the speeds to download and install games is 2-3x as fast as the PS4 pro was.

I get that people enjoy the PS over the Xbox, I am just stating what I noticed. Yes, they both have indie games. However, I noticed there are FAR more indie to AAA Sony release games to indie/ Microsoft AAA games. They seem to have more AAA games on Microsoft which suited my needs. As well as the gamepass and the system had the features were better than the PS5.

Plus I have had a bad track record with the hardware on PS4. Both, my PS4 and PS4 pro had their optical drive die. Also, my PS1, PS2 and PS3 had similar issues. Only had one Xbox 360 had a drive issue.

@rushabs: What are you talking about? Nintendo has the most expensive software prices of any company. What is so hard about Sony's interface? the games and the game library are right there. If you have to update a game, you highlight the game and push options, then choose update software. State of Plays have never had E3 level announcements. Sony tried that format twice with State of Play and failed. Once Sony dialed back it back to talking in depth about a single title or being brief about a few titles, then the State of Play directs got better. Sony wasn't going to announce the next game from Media Molecule or Sucker Punch. The company is focused on the first half of this year, which is a good move. As we move closer to June, then talk other games coming out in fall and the winter of next year. That makes the most sense. Why sit there and show off non gameplay trailers for games that will not come out for a year and a half. This is what Microsoft has been doing. When is Avowed and Fable coming out? 2022-2023. I would rather have gaming companies focus on the current year than talk about games that will not come out for forever. Sony was infamous for this back in the PS3 and early PS4 era. We first saw a demo showing Kara from Detroit in 2013. The game did not come out until 2018. We first saw Heavy Rain and LA Noir in 2006. Those games did not come until 2010. Killzone 2 was first shown in 2005. The game did not come out until 2009. Tekken 6 was first announced for PS3 in 2005. The console version did not come out until 2009. Dreams was announced in 2013. The game did not come out until 2020.

We did not know a whole lot about Returnal or Deathloop. Now we know a bit more about games that are coming out in the spring and have hard firm release dates. We got a sneak peak into summer with Kena. I thought Kena would come out around May as well, but the calendar is pretty packed with other titles. Guilty Gear Stride is on the way as way in April, so that is cool. The first half of the the year has Returnal, Deathloop, Guilty Gear Stride, Ratchet and Clank, and Kena will all be out be right as we go into the second half of the year. Kena is the only game that is further out along with Horizon. Gran Turismo and God of War will be out next year, but I am sure there are a few titles that we do not know about.

Xbox does not have any games exclusive to the series S or X. Its biggest title is also coming to Xbox One. Returnal, Ratchet, and Deathloop are games only available on PS5. Nintendo has been port city for almost a year now. Most of Nintendo's games are coming out in the summer of this year with other big titles like No More Heroes 3 and Bayonetta 3 that will "try" to hit this year.

When it comes to gaming, software is king, and Sony as well as exclusive third parties have been putting out a lot of great games even though some of them hold no interest for me. This is especially true during a pandemic. Sony has not delayed that many games for long periods of time. Other companies like Bioware flat out gave up on their games like Anthem. Bethesda has not done anything amazing outside of Id and Tango Games. Tango Games is current working on a PS5 game, and the next Doom will not be out for three years. Every other Bethesda team is not too credible at this point including Arkane, so I am still iffy on Deathloop. Machinehead Games lost their touch after The New Order, Arkane released Prey, which could not be beaten due to bugs. Fallout and Elder Scrolls have been unoptimized for years. Double Fine has been working on Psychonauts 2 for five years now?

Sony will run complete dry eventually. It is the cycle of life. The momentum the company has had last year as well as this has been insane. If next year is a little bare bones, who cares? I doubt most people will play everything.

@Milknweed:But on the bright side this state of play shows you will need 0 gbs of space in the near future for playstation games.

@Milknweed: i was epecting sony to learn with pr crap from ps4 days with storage.. seems they did not.

that what irk me.

@thecupidstunts: Talking about having low standards...lol...you can do better my friend

@thecupidstunts: it’s so exciting that he doesn’t intend to buy anything and watched the entire stream! So happy to see how the world pays so much attention to the platform.

@parabol69: hmmm what are people playing on Xbox these days?

@thecupidstunts: I didn't like that game, though the fighting was cool. Just the overall game felt empty and weird. Glad to see them put their fight system skills to better use. It's funny 'cause in that video I'm like "This looks a lot like absolver for some reason".

@skyhighgam3r: rumors say it that MS plans some sort of "small" event right after the Bethesda/Zenimax deal is sealed in March
