I hope Guerilla Games is developing a game for PSVR. Maybe a new Killzone title that supports the aim controller.
Honestly I've don't think any of the big 3 really need any more footage. Maybe Death Stranding
You want Guerrilla Games to get closed? Because a big studio developing a game for niche platform is the best way to get studio closed.
I don't know what you're talking about, there's a "y" in my post!!1
;)
Why should Sony close Guerilla Games? They are already developing a game for PS5.
But maybe they have the ressources to develop a PSVR game, too.
Because it's highly likely that the game would be a financial failure. And let's be honest, Guerrilla is too good to work on a VR game (don't hate me, VR lovers). If Sony want another VR shooter, they should continue to work with First Contact Entertainment (developers of Firewall ZO) and Impulse Gear (Farpoint).
Maybe not closed, but hit with layoffs. Either way, Sony's big studios shouldn't touch VR :P
KZ2 VR with aim gun support and I am happy :D
Should be easy doable for a small team.
Again you are assuming the game will have AAA budget that will cause them layoffs, VR games will always have lower budget than these games, so they wouldnt lose nearly as much money as you think.
If Zhuge's comments about that there isn't going to be big announcements for Sony's "State of Play", just probably small-scale announcements like new games for the PlayStation VR, then I'm glad there might be small announcements because the first Nintendo Direct back in 2011 was nothing big, just small announcements that any 3DS or Wii fan could get like the original Kid Icarus will be on the 3DS as a eShop 3D Classic or there is a Wii Japan-exclusive game called Kikitrick.
So I'm glad Sony might be taking a chance on this Nintendo Direct-like announcement show for 60 minutes, but even though there are obviously gonna be people who will complain like, "Why no The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding", "Why no megaton", "Why the announcements for this Sony Direct are new PSVR games" and "This Sony direct is gonna be a failure later on if this keeps going on later". Well, welcome to the fucking internet. A polarizing global system of interconnected network, but game-changing and obsessive... thing.
Anyway, looking forward to the reception out of it.

This is 4 AM in the morning... : (
Well, I'll just look at the summary tomorrow.
Hoping for the best, expecting the worst as usual.
Please new JRPGs...

Ugh, so late by UK time. I'll have to catch up once it's finished and just read the highlights.
Should be 9pm for you, so not too bad. It's 10pm for me, so I'll have no problems watching before going to sleep.
I'll be keeping my eyes on this. I know we were told to keep our expectations tempered but I often find that the smaller events tend to give me personally a bit more to look forward than the larger ones so I'm somewhat optimistic
The thing is, the first time would have never been good, because they have yet to optimize their content scheduling to fit these shows yet, after a few tries their content schedule would be much more optimized and the pacing would greatly profit from that.
Isnt is 9pm in the uk? Doesnt sound too bad. Its at 11pm here which is a bit more annoying but better than E3 at least.
Nintendo still releases Super Mario Bros games even though Mario Maker exists. I don't see why both can't exist especially when Dreams is going to be in an unfinished state for the months following its release. If they can also add something innovative for the series that would make even more sense.
Mm is not very big and I believe they will focus on Dreams support for a long time.
Like a PS5 upgrade.
Yeah, I phrased that wrong. I meant more that it's an awkward time of day for me personally as I'll be driving back from work so won't be able to watch. I was hoping it would be earlier in the day.
That doesn't really make sense though. If SMB had its own simpler level builder then the comparison would hold, but otherwise you're comparing a game with a relatively simple level builder vs a game with a much more complex and involved level builder. Dreams should render LBP obsolete so there's really no need for the latter to exist.
If they did a VR game it'd be a side project by a small team (the main team are almost definitely working on Horizon 2 for PS5). There'd be about 0% chance of it getting them closed and about the same chance as it resulting in layoffs. Sony are current in the process of expanding them to 400 people sized studio.
Would be nice, since we've only gotten the one back in 2017. After the gameplay demo last year, I'm betting they are far along enough to compose something new. Unless the game is too far away, of course.
Maybe 40 .beats?
People even say to bombastic ass Directs, so expect it to be even worse still
The word "episode" is pretty hype deflating imo. Makes it seem like the Xbox thing and not a Direct.
I don't see last of us part 2 at this thing, though could have a small trailer. I'm hoping for a Ghost of Tsushima release date as the game looked pretty good when they showed it off last year at E3. I also expect a new Death Stranding trailer though date I'm not sure about but it does seem at that stage that one could be announced and as no E3 there doing here.
