Sony if a gun was to their head can't make a good SoP. No Stellar Blade but fat fuck qwop? FF7 is months away you can save that trailer for later. This was all filler |
SE made a trailer. Sony used it. Simple really. FF7 is also expected to get a bunch of gameplay at TGS.

I think we can all agree that SB has been delayed into 2024. Following how Sony advertisers their games RoR not showing up is not out of the ordinary.

Starting to suspect it's typical Sony politics to the dev where they fuck with you and put you off. Don't take calls. When they do give BS reasons to not show your game. Usually to do with what's trendier for them to show. |
There's a lot of reasons why games are not appearing at these events. And I'm not going to speak to your friends experience, but it is their experience and not necessarily the truth of the situation.
If a 3rd party dev/ publisher doesn't have anything to show then they have nothing to show. Maybe they just aren't ready. Maybe what they submitted went through poor QA.
As for a Sony title, I feel like everyone should be acclimatised to how Sony advertises their games. An announcement, maybe a 2nd trailer, then marketing cycle few months before release.
If Stellar Blade wasn't shown then there's no reason to think anything else right now except that it's not coming in 2023, and Sony have decided to wait until after SM2 to push their next title.
