That State of Play was really boring. Like, I don't know what I expected but that wasn't it.
Of course, the last-minute 'ELDEN RING AND BLOODBORNE REMAKE AND FFXVI UPDATES' reporting didn't help. Was I missing something? This was all indies except one Square-enix game (And holy crap it looked terrible).
Nothing else looked bad but I've never been so underwhelmed at any of these events for Nintendo or Sony before. Bland, I'm sorry to say. and we STILL don't have any release date update for Little Devil Inside... |
I enjoyed it. As I've said many, many, many times. Moderate your expectations. Sounds like you had high expectations. despite it being just a 20 minute simple show. I went in with a zero so I actually got a lot out of it. The first game looked interesting. Doubt I play it but it was nice to see. The second one was funny no clue what it is. FNAF is MEH and the next I feel nothing for party games. Bugsnax is a good game so updates are nice - and I think star ocean looked great. No real feelings about little devil. |
I did manage my expectations. Yesterday I'd nearly forgotten about it because I didn't know what it was about. then a few hours back, I start hearing all these rumours about how we could see Elden Ring and bloodborne 2/Remake and Final Fantasy XVI and a bunch of other potentially huge shows. I didn't ask for that, but between that and the fact that, since last week, I couldn't even go on twitter without some PS account boasting about how awesome the State of Play was going to be, I thought it was going to be for bigger games.
Had I known, going in, that it was going to be an indie showcase (A tag/moniker they'd used in the past, and so has Nintendo) I'd likely have thought that was a solid 7/10. That said, it's sad to see so many games just chasing trends. Deathverse is just another online MOBA, We are OFK is just another Telltale-style game, Bugsnax looks good but is an expansion to a game so not that original, KArtRider Drift is just another Sony attempt to imitate Mario Kart, First Class Trouble is just Among Us with more realistic style, and we STILL don't know anything about Little Devil Inside's release date, plus that game looks pretty boring.
Oh, and King of Fighters XV and Star Ocean both look terrible.
I hate Five Nights at Freddys as a game franchise but Security Breach is PROBABLY the best and most interesting looking game in that entire presentation. By a country mile. The others are all fine or meh or in some cases bad-looking. Like seriously, I can't get over how bad DeathVerse and First Class Trouble look. I can't get over how bad Star Ocean and King of Fighters look. I just don't get it.
I don't even hate indie games. I recently did an article showing my 10 favourite games of the 2010s and like four of them were Indie titles (Terraria, Axiom Verge, The Messenger, and Minecraft, which was an indie when it came out). I love indies, I just...this didn't look good, and that makes me sad.
I guess Death's Door is nice to see coming to Playstation.
