Where was the anti-hype brigade for the Nintendo Directs?
Have you been to any Nintendo directs?
It's always starts off with excitement and thenusually extreme pessimism happens cause someone said something lol

Just wait until the show ends. It will be the worst thing ever and Sony should publicly apologize to their fans, yet everyone nonstop asks for the next one.

Never ending cycle

Gravity rush 3 please Sony don't abandon kat

The Gravity Rush story was initially split into two parts, the original game told the first half and the sequel told the second half. So technically the story is complete, although they could always find an excuse to make more. But it doesn't seem like Toyama's next game will be a GR3. I think he's indicated that it'll be an action/adventure game or a horror title.

Just some announcements I'm expecting:
  • Dreams update
  • MediEvil update
  • Concrete Genie update
  • Days Gone gameplay, possible first sneak peak at post-launch DLC
  • PSN name change date
  • EA Access announcement
  • Bunch of announcements of ports for VR, indie and generally smaller games

Honestly if this list is anywhere near accurate it should be a very very nice show

Welp, not going to bother to tune into this. I expect nothing which interests me anyways.

Maybe some update about Nioh 2.
Director of the game said earlier that we can expect update about game early 2019.

This seems to be the smartest way to go. Though, I am gonna miss the amazing E3 press conferences.

It's the first show, and I'm sure this will evolve throughout the year/s. I'm excited for what this can turn into. Everybody likes the idea of Nintendo Directs, but I remember a time when gamers and media people, shitted on it and made fun of it, cause it wasn't a press conference style event, look at it now :)

I'm excited about this. Not expecting megatons obviously, but it'll be nice to have some small announcements to tide us over while we wait for the inevitable PS5 blowout next year.

I'd love to get a release date for TLOU2 but I think it's probably too early for that. Maybe at the next one.

I think all those seem reasonable with the exception of the last point. I have no expectations of seeing the big 3 before Days Gone has launched.

I wonder if cuphead is indeed coming to PS4 but Sony is waiting for this event to showcase it?

  • MediEvil update
  • Concrete Genie update
  • Days Gone gameplay, possible first sneak peak at post-launch DLC
  • PSN name change date

toss in Death Stranding and I think this is solid for their first event

maybe Patapon 2 and something else downloadable to be sprinkles on top

That's a pretty crappy name for the event. Would love a release date for GoT to be this year. Im not expecting waves from this stream tho.

I'm curious to see how often they'll have these. Every quarter would probably be best. Give a preview of the upcoming quarter and perhaps a peek into the future after it.

sony doesn't make games that make me think of 'play' as a noun so i don't know why they have pushed that so hard for the last 5-10 years. i get they came up with a console called playstation in the 90s and they're kind of stuck with it because half the systems they've made in that name have been unqualified successes, but the 'play' as a noun thing is dumb.

'state of play' makes me groan a little but that's more in how punny it is, which is what a good pun should do.

I understand, but I don't agree with that sentiment. I was playing Everybody's Golf last night and I think it's a perfect expression of 'play'. The same spirit is to be found in the likes of Dreams (and all else from Media Molecule) and Astrobot. Sony have always created friendly, inclusive and kind-hearted content. Sure, they also offer brutal murder sims that embody the concept of play in less obvious - less wholesome? - ways. But I don't play that stuff half as much.

While I should be tempering my expectations, i choose to believe Polyphony Digital and KojiPro will announce a new Omega Boost game in this stream.

at least for the last five years or so, they haven't devoted time to any of those kinds of games at their conferences. so it always seemed at odds to try and use such a whimsical term and then inundate their audience with 90 minutes of grown-up murder.
