I don't think it's good for the image of any publisher, or platform holder, having games that not succeed and with bad reviews. GaaS games when fail normally do it with a bang. Square Enix had a taste of that with Avengers, Babylon Falls

We don't even know if Factions 2 is going to be a $70 standalone retail project. I don't think it will be.
The list in the website is from 2021, or you saw it somewhere else?
Doubt they'd show everything. Likely all TLOU related games first.
Maybe I'm just completely forgetting something, but when was the last time Sony revealed a big game at conference like that?
They don't roll up to none of them shows with new announcements no more. AT BEST a gameplay trailer like they did for ghost. A new game announcement? Ain't happening
I don't know. I believe they want to show everything. That's not a coincidence Druckmann spoke in those terms at CES 2022
And I believe they will go all-out with announcements including their new IP. But that's just a guess, whether it'll happen remains to be seen.
That's just generic PR talk, it really doesn't mean anything. And their new IP, if it exists, will still be years away so I don't know if they'll show that anytime soon.
They could double whammy up like insomniac have done the last two big shows cases. Ratchet and miles in one, spiderman 2 and wolverine in the other
I'd love it but I just think it's a bit overboard to show Factions 2, TLOU 1 remake, TLOU2 DC (if it exists), along with a new IP. We'll know in due time either way!
Yeah that's why I was asking, I can't remember the last time Sony actually revealed a brand new game at such a showcase, that always seems to be saved for their own showcases. And that's why I'm not expecting a brand new reveal at Summer Game Fest from Sony, maybe Horizon DLC or something like that, maybe another studio partnership like we got the Deviation Studio partnership but that's it.
The droughtest
...literally Groundhog Day.....omg....
I think Sony is betting on a lot of horses in the GaaS space because it's hard to predict which games will succeed and which won't. Avengers game with AAA production value and good developer pedigree? Flop. Rocket League, Among Us, Fortnite? Massive hits. Who could have predicted any of those prior to launch.
If even a couple pan out well and can sustain a player base, Sony will probably be happy.
Someone probably leaked the new dr Strange film to Jimbo and now he's taking revenge by creating a big drought period.
Also targeting very different genres with what we know. Twisted Metal, Haven (social community), Factions 2 (BR/Escape from Tarkov) etc.
Last time we got partnership announcement with Deviation games and death stranding DC I guess announcements of new partnership and TLoU DC.
We got told like two weeks ago directly from the devs that it's going to be awhile.
IE: September
Agree with the massive hits but Avengers since was first shown it was written that would fail. People complained from character faces to game's system.
This whole generation has been agonizingly boring so far. Elden Ring is one of the few bright spots.
Golden week in Japan? Nintendo delayed theirs as well.
In the IMAX trailer, the games that we see the most are Elden Ring, Horizon, Batman and Tina.
There are some shots of Forspoken and Gran Turismo.
So Horizon DLC and Forspoken (which the new Death Loop and we will see this game 53 times) would be my guess.
Meh at Elden Ring.
Thank god for the Switch. That's what's keeping me busy atm.
I've never bought a LEGO set, but damn, I'm really tempted with this. It's still available online over here, maybe I'll buckle and buy it lol.
I don't agree with you at all. The start of this generation has been way better than the last one, there is always a new game I am eager to play and my backlog is always growing.
Nomura asked for more time to draw celebratory artwork of Sony's IPs when acquisition is announced.
You better all buy LEGO Tallneck so I can get this officially.
I wish I could say the same, but my experience this gen has been pretty miserable. Virtually nothing has come out, or is announced, that matters to me even a little bit and I have nothing on the horizon that I'm looking forward to. Post Elden Ring/Stranger of Paradise, 2022 is a corpse of a year across all platforms.
Not me. Which is a good thing since I can't get a PS5.
The coming months/year are going to be pain though. Ragnarok, TLoU remake, Factions and RE:4 are going to be a bitch to not play because I can't find a PS5.
I actually have no idea of what you are talking about, I guess I skipped that one lol
But anyway, the point is more about the duration. Sony had shows over 1h in the past (most recent one when PS5 was unveiled). It's just that last two main showcases were only around 40 minutes. And when you only do one of those a year, that's kinda lame.
Microsoft's Gamescom show last year had an extended showing of a real trebuchet, for Age of Empires.
