Onimusha 2! LFG!!!!
I’m sad that nothing here tickles my pickle.
Cool, I was hoping they'd announce more slop
Okay I gotta get something off my chest about y'all gamers here in these comments
As a Square Enix fangirl where it is the norm to wait ~6-8 years for my preferred titles (if they're not vaporware), it has always bothered me that gamer's expect releases and/or new product on the anniversaries of games. "It's the 'X' decade anniversary for 'Y' game? Why didn't we get anything?!" I think that's actually really rude and I'll explain why:
As a lover of Final Fantasies I know there was a time I could 100% expect this. It must have made sense when we were getting either annual or bianual releases of a game in a franchise. Even when Assassin's Creed was pumping them out so fast there were 4 titles in 10 years I could maybe understand it–even thought those game were subsequently called terrible.
But now, in the modern era this doesn't make sense. If you have a 10th anniversary of a game but the average production cycle for any title that studio puts out is ~5 years to make, then what you're really saying is, "yay! we're celebrating (maybe) 2 projects since you released the last thing we liked!" or more generously what you're really celebrating is, "the employment time of a group of people who spent a decade making one game" but you're then ONLY really celebating the time that team had since the game released and it actually "mattered" to the players. kind of rude.
Now celebrating the employment milestone is FAR MORE worth celebrating, I'm sure you'd agree, but in that case I really don't think its fair to ask those people who could have only made like 2 games since that release, and are in fact doing that with other IPs, to then make you something special that anniverary launch; it's more work to celebrate them? 0.o
Chief example–CD Projekt Red. They have done 5 in-house games. It turns out Witcher 3 is at 10 years this May. To celebrate the milestone they ~COULD~ drop a trailer for Witcher 4. But also consider that between Witcher 3 and this past month's Witcher 4 trailer, CDPR has released an entirely new IP they had to support in Cyberpunk. Getting that trailer was a miracle already.
So, you're totally merited in celebrating witcher 3 or God of War, or Bloodborne. You're not quite merited in looking for something out of the teams for that milestone.
For instance, in 2018 neither Final Fantasy 7 nor Kingdom Hearts 3 had landed but both title's anniversaries were coming up simultaneously. The 30th for FF7 and the 25th for KH. Everyone was demanding a drop of a trailer for either one. We got….a screenshot. Sora looking up at mysterious tower in Cloud's pose. That was our anniversary gift. We were annoyed but when you look at the posts attached to that shot, they were dedicated to the incredible walks of development between the titles and such warm and beautiful thanks for the developers.
And you know what. That was enough for us. words to recognize the makers of the games, instead of a deadline for something new.
One reads, "thank you for your incredible work of art." the other reads, "dance monkey."
So, to be clear, I don't get why your milestones should determine what you expect out of these announcements. It's simply too much to put on a development team and kind of rude.
One more for those in the back; It's too much to put on the teams.
Weird choice of background music…
To be completely honest, there wasn’t a single game revealed that made me think I want to go buy it. It’s been like that for years now. I still believe that PlayStation 2 had some of the best games ever with its broad range of games and actual multiplayer experience.
What an absolute pile of crap all these games…
Nothing of interested here. Where are all the games that will utlize the "amazingly powerful" PS5 Pro?! Where are all the exclusives?!
worst era of playstation…
Where is the new Mass Effect? Where is FF7 remake part 3??
the exclusive bs has seriously got to stop… im not dropping 700+ to play Onimusha
Also love that at the end of this video it shows me Saron ,Tides of Annihilation & Onimusha, the only 3 games i saw worth much of anything at all.
Lost Soul Aside, Tides of Annihilation, Onimusha, Digimon Story: Time Strangers, damn I am SO excited!
Death Stranding 2? not inlcude.. 😪😥
Boring 6 mins ever metal gear was ok
Shinobi 🔥🔥🔥 thats all i need
wheres ghost of yotei
Perfect time to reboot Killzone or Resistance…. No…. Alright guess we’ll just remaster some games then.
45
So they decide to remaster days gone instead of just making a sequel. Lazy ass motherfuckers
Almost everybody cries that all new games look like shit in these new state of plays, and that out of the 20 games they just showed nit one looks good. At least half of those games look interesting to me, if you like games, which is the caveat. People who velive not one good game was shown, what games are you looking forward to?
First console with no games
Soros. The end.
I'M SO HYPED FOR THE NEW DIGIMON YESSS ❤❤❤❤
Remaster Bloodborne and Remake Dino Crisis you cowards!
I'm just happy that remasters and diverse women are finally the industry norm.
Reading these comments makes me realize no one hates video games more than the gaming community.
Wow this was garbage
Only Mindseye is worth it
Nintendo is winning right now, PS5 games look so boring. Only good games that came out of PS5 were Spider-Man and Harry Potter.
me – i think i'll look in the comments for the timestamps
the comments – wheres mah bloodbourne, why no bloodbourne remaster,
why does it need a remaster? if its the great game you claim it is, it shouldnt need one, now days gone needing a remaster is also pretty unnecessary, but its way past time for an onimusha remaster
Tides of annihilation is by far my favourite reveal
As a die-hard PS fan. This list looks like ass. STOP making remakes. Outside of a select few titles, this generation is the generation of remakes. Developers publish unfinished work, label them early releases, and take another year to flush out bugs. The concepts suck. Only games worth playing: Elden Ring, God of War, BG3, Astro Bot, and Metaphor. That’s it. POE2 should be dope. D4 is cool for 1 day. (Mic drop)
I thought they would remaster the max Payne games
Why everyone talking about only bloodborne whyyy!!!!!
For me it's:
– Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
– The Midnight Walk
– Darwin's Paradox
And the best title in all this State of Play goes to: Tides of Annihilation
Sony's fanbase are kids who wanna play with the same toy hahahaha
So basically Digimon and omnimusha otherwise trash
You guys love a 7 don't you 😂😂😊
Rdr2 remaster ?
