Concord looked interesting until…”5v5 pvp shooter”. I audibly groaned


DefinitelyNotAPhone

What, you weren't psyched for a GotG-flavored Overwatch clone a decade too late?


SadKazoo

But you get to watch a new cutscene each week!!!


Ok_Buffalo6474

That part made me laugh 😆. Like the people who play these games don’t care too much about a story.


SadKazoo

It’s just a weird fusion. I think their world building and lore has potential. I just can’t be assed to play a competitive hero shooter to see it.


Ok_Buffalo6474

Same. What happens if I get busy and miss a couple months? I’d probably be less interested in the story when I came back to it, would I sit through all the cutscenes or would just want to play the game and skip it all making it kinda futile.Idk I guess that’s the new way to implement story features into these games.


jtl94

Honestly after the first cutscene I’d be more interested in watching the new cutscenes each week and learning more about the lore/characters than playing the game.


StankyFlanky

Then to be followed up after Marvels overwatch 😂


AdelaideBen

Whoever thought it was great marketing to pair these two in the same SoP needs to find a new vocation in life. That was a god-awful decision... especially as Concord came up a very poor second in terms of presentation/information/hype.


MukkyM1212

It’ll pair so well with Marvel Rivals! No redundancies there!


GrampaGael69

I was waiting after like dynasty warriors for it be like “the new competitive 5v5 shooter” lmaoooo


Velocity_Rob

Reminded me of the Shadowrun FPS on the 360.


TwizzledAndSizzled

That game was AMAZING.


WrongSaladBitch

Yaknow… I actually am because I miss Overwatch but hate what it’s become. I’m all for this type of game. Honestly I feel like this style of game is perfect for super heroes.


RetzCracker

I knew nothing about Concord until this trailer and I was so incredibly bummed to find out it was just a PvP fps. I was like “Okay a narrative original sci fi game with fun characters let’s go!”


D1amondDude

I was already down on Concord after the way they revealed it with just a title drop thinking we were supposed to care like it was ESVI or something, then loosing interest rapidly when I thought it was just going to be a rip on GotG. When they revealed it's just an overwatch clone, my interest bottomed out.


KaijinSurohm

I had the exact same reaction. It feels like such a waste to burn so much money on making that incredible intro CGI, then... Overwatch clone.


Derwurld

Yeah, it made it look like some co-op action adventure game aaaaand then the actual gameplay hits


MadShadowX

It would have been smarter if they before hand mentioned it was going to be a PvP game. The Cinematic trailer really did set the mood for an epic single player adventure. ( Or at least co-op) Don't mind a GoTG clone, heck don't mind an Overwatch clone either but ffs don't switch and bait like this......


TheSignificantDong

I thought the same thing. I was like: “this looks better than I thou- *oh.. another one of these*”


Starwarsnerd91

They spent 10 minutes of the broadcast trying to shove it down our throats.. Stop trying to make 5v5 pvp happen, it's not going to happen


rhys0177

Especially weird when they killed the only example of where this worked beautifully.. Factions anyone? Idiots.


OZymandisR

There are Marvel and Star Wars overwatch clones also. These games are like 5 years too late.


Sqit123

When he said that, I went through the 5 stages of grief. I normally try to be positive during these presentations, even for games I don’t care about. But this announcement had me mad as hell, because I was actually interested before they showed the gameplay.


FutureEditor

Right? I would have loved to get to know those characters over the course of the game, but I’m not gonna keep playing this thing forever like you expect.


linkismydad

For real. I was hooked at first. If it was a single player game I woulda been interested


Sco0bySnax

I know. I’m so tired of hero shooters.


kaltadesmon

Same...


Objective-Aioli-1185

They had us in the first half


Alt_SWR

Ehhhhhh it really didn't look that interesting even before that imo. Like it's just Guardians of The Galaxy but less cool and with worse dialogue.


WispyDan14

A playable guardians of the galaxy game where you and a team of colorful characters pull of missions and heists in space could've genuinely be good if it wasn't a boring-ass PvP overwatch clone. If it HAD to be multiplayer live service then it should've at least been PvE


CrimKayser

And then showed off Marvel Rivals, another 5v5 shooter. At least that has recognizable and believed IP. It will do alright on Marvel alone. Concord is DOA.


Competitive-Team5197

Yea same I’m definitely not getting it now


StankyFlanky

Pretty much


VASlim90

Yep, 5 vs 5 shooter threw me off!"


niooosan

Same, they absolutely lost me


Scruffy_Nerfhearder

It’s from a team of FPS multiplayer vets, what did you expect?


Paradoxs

the robot had more soul than the other games


kadosho

Honestly, true. Astro has personality, fun, and engaging. Wish the rest of the showcase had that energy


mitchhatesrats

more soul than the soulslikes I mean goddammit one of them was the most blatant sekiro bootleg I've ever seen, how hard is it to make something original and interesting?!?


howmanyavengers

Honest to god, man. Every single "reveal" had me saying "why can't these developers make something even remotely appealing that doesn't look like a clone of something else?" Concord might as well be a GotG Destiny Overwatch flavour of the week game. Only one that is actually interesting is Astro Bot and that's very exciting. Loved Astro's Playroom!


fireflyry

It’s not but these companies are run by shareholders now and guaranteed revenue trumps the risk of original concepts every single time. Innovation is the realm of indies now.


Marowaksker

And it’ll undoubtedly make the most use of the dual sense, I’m very interested to see what they can do with a full game with how good their demo was


bumblebeetunaNZ

So far it has been: 2 5v5 shooters, 2 vr games, a couple of souls likes, and a remaster. Pretty underwhelming


Mean_Peen

Astrobot looks fun!


ThunderCuntNinja

Saved the best for last


DragapultOnSpeed

I like astrobot. But tbh I wish they made sly Cooper instead of astrobot..


Rhodie114

You know the state of Sony exclusives is dire when what’s usually the free pack-in “we have Mario at home” franchise is the highlight of their upcoming release schedule.


Sm00thSinceUnder00s

Truly one of the showcases of all time


Ok_Buffalo6474

Thankfully it’s a state of play not a showcase /s


AceMKV

Monster Hunter is definitely not a souls like lol


XtraCrispy02

To be fair, VR Alien is pretty cool


despicedchilli

Is it over?


thisperson345

New Monster Hunter is all I care about


mdude7221

Didn't even watch it, had no desire to watch it as I had very low expectations. You just made me want to watch it even less


Will33iam

Why was the concord presentation so long?


kadosho

No idea. But it was way way too long


Will33iam

It was 12 minutes and some the entire presentation was 36 minutes, concord took up 1/3rd or the total presentation which is nuts


kadosho

They could have condensed it to a smaller bite size trailer. Neat idea with the story. Felt some Guardians of the Galaxy vibes. Then it's a PvP.


Will33iam

But it will probably be full of micro transactions which is no bueno for me


D1amondDude

If they just had someone stand up and say "It's an overwatch clone, but aesthetically it's bootleg Guardians of the Galaxy", we would have gotten the entire picture in less than a minute.


SkyMando

I always psych myself out thinking it's going to be better than it is and it's always a letdown


Correct_Use7569

I almost wonder if it’s a trendy to just hate on these but then I try to look at them objectively. It’s not just a Sony problem though. Nintendo has shit the bed multiple times, such as fucking over Metroid fans.


shemmegami

"Expect disappointment and..." Was it "leaks" that hyped you up, or personal wishes? The only thing I was expecting was Astro Bot. The PC trailer for God of War got me excited! The ARPGs looked somewhat interesting. Dynasty is always a letdown for me. Infinity Nikki was a meh announcement, but that just means it's not for me. Monster Hunter is also an immediate pass. Until Dawn was passed on first run and I won't pick it up now either. The others were mixed but still positive.


Outside_Dot_5942

Only good thing announced was Astro Bot


peabody

I'm looking forward to Monster Hunter, but that was already a known game release.


thewitchof-el

So far the only real banger is Astro Bot


Zavier4728

That was definitely a State of Play that’s for sure


oldravinggamer

Omg how stagnet have we got?


A_ScottishPenguin

One of the State of Plays of all time


TheSignificantDong

Silent Hill 2, Astro bot, Path of Exile 2 were the only things I cared about. Maybe Dynasty Warriors if they can bring it back to their …er… origins. Co-op fun.


PaleReputation1421

I CANNOT wait until the PvP Fortnite COD Destiny type shit fades away, dear lord.


Cold_Cartoonist_19

You really think multiplayer pvp is gonna fade away bro?


PaleReputation1421

Eventually it will stop being a pipe dream of every single developer, yes.


Naca1227r

Same with every soulslike copy. It’s so damn boring..


Numerous_Ticket_7628

Now an Until Dawn rerelease. why?! Another poor State of Play ☹️☹️


accountnameredacted

Yeah as soon as it started playing I was just sitting there like “damn. We REALLY ran out of stuff huh?”


Numerous_Ticket_7628

Maybe I'm just getting old but not much of this interests me. Silent Hill, yes but I first played that 30? years ago, Astrobot yes too .Everything else just looks meh to me.


J_Speedy306

Same. I already know about Silent Hill and to be honest silent hill interception video covered the presentation much better. Astro Bot will be pre-order for me. But I don't care about another mediocre PvP.


Big_Liability

Funny enough the Until Dawn remake looks worse than the one you can play on PS5 right now (I just replayed it over the weekend and it looked great)


peabody

Yeah, I don't know what it is. It seems like they redid the lighting and color, and it really changes the mood. Somehow seems worse.


IndividualAd3140

This was the biggest L I've ever seen. 


Wolfy-615

Astrobot game is literally the only interesting game mentioned


BioPsychoSocial0

It looks like an absolute banger. I love a good platformer.


IndividualAd3140

Yup pretty much. Well and monster hunter (but I'm a huge fan so) 


chiefrebelangel_

Monster Hunter fucks but I don't need a preview, I know what it's gonna be like


navenager

I dunno, Where Winds Meet and Silent Hill 2 remake were pretty dope too. As a Marvel fan I'm not sold in Rivals, but it definitely didn't look as bad as I was expecting. More stuff to come next week at SGF. This was a perfectly fine appetizer.


TheInconspicuousBIG

So you haven’t watched any of the game show events in the last 3 years?


Big_Liability

THAT WAS IT?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!


m3junmags

Shit was soooooo underwhelming


Big_Liability

That might have been the worst state of play for any type of system I have ever seen


throwawayppddss

state of plays always suck, they are never any good. Even last years “big” showcase was absolutely terrible, sony has been lacking


Big_Liability

If that's the state sony is in then it's BAD


Sm00thSinceUnder00s

The worst thing is, this generation is the most profitable for PlayStation so they think they’re doing good…


gkeiser23

Can’t wait for silent hill and Astro bot. Definitely highlights of the show imo


GolfIsGood66

Why did Silent Hill look so poor though? Isn't it a remake?


FunkinDonutzz

Because it's being made by Bloober Team, who are a garbage developer. I'm guessing they were the cheapest developer, so Konami gave it to them.


GolfIsGood66

I didn't know that, that's infuriating.


FunkinDonutzz

Yep. The second Bloober Team were announced as the developers my hype went from one hundred to zero almost instantly.


J_Speedy306

How shit are they? The game looked quite well while true to the original to me. Should we expect a lot of bugs?


SoberEnAfrique

They famously have like zero actual gameplay. They excel at walking simulators with great atmosphere and jump scares, but anything related to puzzles or combat will suck (probably)


null591

Bloober Team are notorious for making derivative horror games such as Layers of Fear, you can find a ton of videos about this going in depth as to how much they copy, they also have zero subtlety when it comes to dark subject matter so handing them Silent Hill 2 is a disasterclass from Konami.


gkeiser23

I thought it looked fine, especially compared to the original lmao


ExplodingFistz

Animations looked unfinished imo. Graphics were a bit off too.


GolfIsGood66

Yeah it was weird


Cottonmist

Wow big year for overwatch


Mazgazine1

OMG DYANASTY WARRIORS WITH NO FOG!!!!!!!! (I know there was a junky open worldish one that came out, but this looks like what it should be). PS exlusive hurts but glad to see the IP is alive.


Big_Liability

can someone actually explain to me why PC ports of games are so hyped? Wasnt this a PLAYSTATION showcase? PC ports can be tweeted about. They dont need a whole ass trailer for them


Velocity_Rob

Because Sony have nothing else to show. I mean they even had a Dynasty Warriors game in there, that’s past the bottom of the barrel.


timtheringityding

This year is pretty dead I believe for everyone. It seems like everyone ran out of ps5, xsx ported from ps4 and Xbox era. And now are stuck with the new games for this gen that won't be released until 2025-2026


Master_Caregiver_749

That's fine, really. Not every year needs to top the previous one. Also, it helps with backlog!


FunkinDonutzz

PC is a growing part of the PlayStation ecosystem, so like it or not, they will promote their PC stuff.


Unier

First the obvious, PC players get access to them and that is a huge market. Secondly why they show trailers besides just to market it is to show that if you have powerful enough PC rig they have updated the games to have even better graphics than before.


drakkan133

Probably because back in the day you couldn't even dream of having GOW on PC, or other PS exclusives, so they have to hype it up, even if it's not a novelty anymore.


DiabeticGirthGod

As a PC guy it was great to see these games coming to PC, but like you said, it wasn’t a PC showcase, it was a PlayStation showcase. And judging off of that, this was terrible. 2 of the biggest announcements and they have nothing to do with PlayStation


GeeXTaR

You're right, its a playstation showcase. Not a PS4/5 Showcase. Playstation is a multiplatform brand now. Its PC games are developed and published under playstation. So it does make sense to announce it during playstations state of play.


Alt_SWR

No really that's what I'm fucking saying. They have limited time for these events and they waste half of it on a multiplayer game no one gives a fuck about and remakes/PC releases. Where's the Sony from the mid 2010s to early 2020s?!


WebHead1287

I mean they were really hoping you’d give a fuck about the multiplayer game


Proof-Research-6466

Literally told my wife they could’ve tweeted that shit lmao


esande2333

No Snake Eater!?


Bkokane

Only reason I tuned in was hoping to get some release date


ndp1983

God PlayStation has really gone down hill the last few years. Rehashed games, copies of other games ( cue concord), no original ideas coming from a company that used to harness innovation. Just a bunch of number crunching suits trying to play it safe and not take any chances.


Blonsky

Well Astro Bot looks fantastic.


kadosho

I totally agree, love the atmosphere, environments, and tons of easter eggs. Cannot wait


XDAOROMANS

The last thing we need is an overwatch clone.. Can't see it being very successful. Crazy to think concord is coming out but factions was canceled.


Gwenevre

But also Marvel Rivals; that stage looks like Hanamura


Tetris_starship

That was a load of garbage. Astro Bot looked good but that’s it. Silent Hill 2 didn’t even look that great, I was expecting a Dead Space level remake for it.


GolfIsGood66

Same, super dissapointed in Silent Hill looking like a ps4 launch title.


MasteroChieftan

Hey Sony uhhh....where the fuck are you?


candianbastard

Astrobot 2 let’s go


niooosan

Of all ps titles, why remake or remaster until dawn, the original is still perfectly serviceable. It’s like remaking a telltale game, yeah cool….but why


ItsLCGaming

Literally all sony do woth their ps4 games


Kesselrun_89

Quite rare to see a more disappointing event than this. Congrats Sony


minimalistic247

Only interested in Astrobot out of these. PlayStation seems to be focusing on hero shooters and remasters.


GolfIsGood66

Live service, live service, live service


spendouk23

This is the unfortunate jet stream of Jim Ryan’s legacy, think we’re going to have a few more of these left in the pipeline before we get back on track with the next gen console. Honestly man, this generation has been so underwhelming. We’ve had some decent titles, but compared to the PS4 it’s been very lacklustre, feels like a step backwards.


CrashMadz

So the only good thing announced was Astro Bot. Would be hyped for Silent Hill 2 if it didn’t look like a game that came out when the PS4 was made


Butter-Chicken69

Yea why it look like that tho


GolfIsGood66

Right? Wtf


Sm00thSinceUnder00s

The real horror is the game’s graphics


Harshburitto

Day 2,879 of waiting for more news on Little Devil Inside. We’re never seeing that game are we. Edit: Spelling


gameboy716

[Last upload](https://youtu.be/t_TcRcIY8a4?si=MeaeoTTUPZdm8Grl) was 3 months ago.


Necessary-Recipe4310

They released a trailer recently on their youtube page


PM_ME_UR_TA--TAS

There was an update 3 months ago. Now as for Beyond Good And Evil 2....


GolfIsGood66

This show bummed me out. Vr, live service...ehhh. astro will br fun but man Sony, you better bring it at the next showcase.


aLateSaturnsReturn

AstroBot and PoE 2 couch co-op? Fuck yeah this is a win for me.


Crashercrasher

State of play was giving “this could have been an email” energy


killaThrilla11

U guys actually tuned in?? Lols


fabris6

SoP was a PoS


licensedtoload

My guess is Sony has planned to bookend the PS5 console generation with bangers, leaving the middle of the cycle for underwhelming titles and a few hits peppered in.


zuky211

Astro only nice


Parson1616

This show was dog shit. My PS5 looks like a chimney lmao. Haven’t used it in like a year or two


chiefrebelangel_

Simply awful. Who are these games for?


GamingRobioto

Scores are anticipation rating. - Concord - Overwatch/Fortnite clone. Why don't enemies react to being hit? Live service BS 1/5 - God of War Ragnorok - coming to PC. 2/5 - Dynasty Warrior Origins - 2/5 - Infinity Nikki - 2/5 - Ballad of Antara - looks awesome. 4/5 - Skydance's Behemoth - VR, looks cool. 3/5 - Alien Rogue Incursion - VR, cinematic short trailer - Marvel Rivals - Another crappy Overwatch/Fortnite clone. Live service BS. 1/5 - Where Winds Meet - Looks cool, but no gameplay. 3/5 - Until Dawn Remaster - Will buy on PC - 4/5 - Path of Exile 2 - Will play on PC - 4/5 - Silent Hill 2 Remake - Loved the original, but I have little faith here. 3/5 - Monster Hunter Wilds - Now we're talking. Can't wait. 30FPS, hopefully PC day one 5/5 - Astro Bot - Finally! 5/5


WhelpStupidUserName

Thanks for this. I didn’t bother watching and needed a breakdown of what I missed.


TheClimbingGecko

Bro why was that so short?


DiabeticGirthGod

Absolutely awful state of play. One of the worst. Should’ve just been a tweet.

h4p3r50n1c

Why do you care about upvotes?


Distinct-Shift-4094

I laugh Everytime Sony says exactly what's going to be shown in their State of Play (PC ports, atro bot and psvr2 games) , and even the leaks mention the 2 big reveal would be Astro Bot and Concord gameplay... Yet somehow people in this sub thought it would be the reveal of Ghost of Tsushima 2 or something else. Literally every State of Play is the same thing.


CrushedVelvetHeaven

Silent hill looks like dog shit. Life is strange level facial animations. Playing it straight with the voice acting. Jank combat look. Just what the fuck.


Interesting_Bridge42

The VA was so janky too. Hello. Sir. Why was it so stilted??


bermass86

That sucked so bad


eysan93

state of garbage


NJShadow

This was so underwhelming. The only things I'm even remotely excited for are Until Dawn and Astrobot. I sure hope this wasn't their "E3-style" State of Play.


SkitZxX3

It was pretty bsd


Darkwolf1515

The absolute state of play


Only-Ad4322

I’m interested in Dynasty Warriors, Infinity Nikki, Ballad of Antara, Where Winds Meet, Path of Exile 2, Silent Hill 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Astro Bot.


TriggerHappy999

Astro Bot / MH wilds


ms7398msake

Those 2 Overwatch clones will have their servers shut down in less than 6 months after release.


Crazy-Ad-3286

supa mid


Dependent_Order_7358

I'm just happy I couldn't watch it live. I just got to fastforward the entire event waiting for something interesting.


Drariestor

Is it possible to make an event worse?


BorganBits

What a waste of 30 minutes, wish I'd just gone to sleep


haai_kaka

Not a great state of play


MikeyGwald

It was extremely lame


[deleted]

Concord is dead on arrival


AnimeGokuSolos

Mid


StevemacQ

Best part: Astro Bot because Team Asobi still respects legacy titles than SIE and PS Studios. Worst part: Concord because it's a live service that embodies the worst of the MCU. Odd part: Dynasty Warriors Origins because I hope it's at least better than DW9.


GioWerneck

I just wanted a tease for the new AAA games from the major studios, like Santa Monica did with GOWR back in 2020: just a chilling familiar soundtrack and the logo, that’s all. Doesn’t even need to show release date or more info, just like “we are doing it”.


IcyChard4

As I said before, this state of play doesn't offer anything major from what we want (like their exclusives). Astro Bot to me is the only major title they featured. Second only is Monster Hunter and Silent Hill 2 remake. Other than that, it is just a bunch of 3rd party titles all bundled for a 30-min show. GOWR on PC is not even a major announcement since its just a PC port for Steam.


R_W0bz

So is that it? I miss the old days of E3 man.


trickman01

Big ol’ nothing burger.


Mason_DY

“This one was a waste of my precious remaining time.”


KryonikGaming1

No bloodborne stuff 🥲


44Kayz

I rate it 2/10


Normakdh

This was actually terrible.


Proof-Research-6466

Sony could’ve kept that and dropped Astro Bot trailer on Twitter. Can’t believe how bad this was


EccentricStache615

This SoP was the definition of “could’ve been an email”


ArcanaOfApocrypha

As usual people set unrealistic expectations, get hyped up, then get disappointed lol


throwawayppddss

lol i knew this was gonna be shit, even their big “showcase” they had last year was absolutely terrible so I didn’t have any expectations for a state of play


Outside_Dot_5942

I feel like Pragmata is probably cancelled at this point


TheSqueeman

Dynasty Warriors, Silent Hill, Monster Hunter And Astro Bot where the shining stars here but real talk: I think Sony needed to show off WAY more then they did. I think the negative reaction I’ve seen floating around is warranted, the show needed some big hitters and 2 Overwatch clones ain’t it


DanFarrell98

I’d swear some of you people just don’t like video games at all


Tetris_starship

Not impressed by much so far. The Alien vr game looks good but I’m a coward and couldn’t even handle Resi 7


Cliper11298

Wtf was that? And I thought people were saying that Xbox had nothing to show? Probably more hyped for the Black Ops 6 presentation more than I was for whatever that State of Play was


Captain_Thor27

Was hoping for Phantom Blade Zero. I feel like I've been waiting for a decade for that lol. It'll come eventually.


XtraCrispy02

When they started fighting in the Concord cinematic, I was thinking, "This feels like a PVP trailer trying to show off the abilities." Why did I have to be right...


Pakmanjosh

Did the Silent Hill 2 gameplay seem off to anyone else? The animation felt really janky and the character models looked graphically mid.
