Have to say I always wondered why this thread still had Spiderman references in the title and nothing about Helldivers but I actually LOVE the new tittle making reference to bot Helldivers and Stellar Blade both excellent games of this year.
Now about the State of Play, I just wish Concord looks fun. If the rumors about a new Astrobot releasing this year are true I think is a huge step forward in the right direction for Sony. Last year we had a shadow drop in Valhalla and now not only a 40$ game (HD2) but also a game releasing the same year it is announced? I want to believe this is progress in how to don't burn your players hype.
I also think we may not have a lot of big games announcements for 2025 and beyond because we still will have a PS5PRO presentation in the future and I believe the big guns will be presented there.
Sony has been doing a good job in partnership with indie games (still can't believe they actually paid to get V Rising outside pc) but last showcase indies were maybe a little too aesthetic for my taste, I wish for them to pursue rpg's and asymmetrical indie games.
