Sony is doing a State of Play later today at 5PM EST.

Any thoughts or predictions on what we might see? The one rumour I've seen that makes sense to me is announcing a God of War Greek Saga release.

I’ve heard two so far… God of War OG trilogy remake, and GTAVI’s second trailer.

Needless to say, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Seeing as they did not announce the PS Plus Extra/Premium games at their usual time slot, I would hopefully suspect they'll be dropping some major games there - January was a huge drop, so let's see if they follow up February.

Aside from that, I would guess that some of the former Microsoft exclusives that are coming like Forza & Gears may be announced.

Tides of Annihilation alone made this worth watching for me.

I didn't catch it live, so playing a bit of catch-up.

Tides of Annihilation alone made this worth watching for me.

The imagery of this game looks awesome. The gameplay they showed gave me God of War III/Bayonetta vibes. Not my favourite style, but definitely worth keeping an eye on.



I think Saros was intended to be the biggest reveal? Anyways, this looks sick. Hard to get much in terms of gameplay from it, other than that it's probably a roguelike, but I liked the trailer.

My overall impression: I was surprised by the mix of old IP and new IP, meaning it had a lot more new IP than I thought. Like GoW was talked about, GT6 was talked about, etc, but instead it was a lot of new stuff. Maybe studios and publishers have learned some lessons about churning out the same old stuff.

Yeah that's a similar vibe I got for the gameplay, with some mild platforming and traversal tossed in. Sprinkle in Jennifer English (Shadowheart) as the main VA and a fantasy-esque theme similar to what I look for, it's become a game I'm going to watch closely.

Based on the trailer and it being Housemarque, this seems pretty spot on. Looks like it'll be some kind of spritual successor to Returnal.
