State of Play - PlayStation announcement stream (March 25th)

[MondoMega]

Seems like Sony are taking a page out of Nintendo and Microsoft's books with State of Play: a new series of livesteams for new PlayStation related announcements.

From the official blog post announcement:

Today, we're introducing a new video program called State of Play, and the first episode kicks off Monday, March 25 at 2:00pm Pacific Time.

State of Play will give you updates and announcements from the world of PlayStation. Our first episode will showcase upcoming PS4 and PS VR software, including new trailers, new game announcements and new gameplay footage.

You can watch live on Twitch, YouTube, Twitter or Facebook worldwide, and we'll be offering up the VOD edition shortly after the episode airs.

And this is just the beginning! State of Play will return throughout the year with more updates and announcements.

There will be new games announced here, a few PSVR ones as well, but this isn't an E3 type event by any means.

[SMD]

I mean it's nice they're trying to pretend they're not biding their time till the PS5 but is there going to be anything major? I feel like it'll be updates and indies.

[mclem]

So will they be bringing this information Directly to us?

(Have to say: Brilliant, brilliant title, though)

Edit:

Terrible name

ResetERA.gif, just to beat others to it.

 

[Dark_Castle]

Yeah it doesnt sound like it's going to be Nintendo Direct level.

 

[kadotsu]

The show will probably be pretty uneventful but I'll be there for the fringe reactions that expect this to make or break the PS brand.

 

[modiz]

Click to shrink...

honestly sounds good enough. usually these kinds of formats get better in time, so i am fine if the first one would be a bit weak.

 

[Deleted member 18742]

Thanks for the heads up

 

[rochellepaws]

Hopefully we'll see what Japan Studio is working on and release dates for MediEvil and whichever big games are releasing in the second half of the year.
