What are you doing tonight at 11pm UK time?
That’s right, watching Sony’s latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast right here with us.
What do we expect?
And maybe theHorizon Zero Dawnremaster, and maybe aDays Goneremaster.
Pre-orders for it open on Thursday 26th September, remember.
The question is, what would you like to see?
See you later on.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
How are you all?
Is that enough room for Kojima?
Will Geoff Keighley be there somehow?
And can anyone afford the PS5 Pro yet?
We’ll have to wait and see!
I almost fell asleep reading a book.
I hope this is interesting.
How are you all doing?
A nice spread-bet there, 2much!
I assume you mean “or”, but I like the concept!
A Eurogamer Game of the Year contender in the making, that.
That’s another vote for being wowed from me, too!
A special section titled “State of Play” went up on PlayStation Store.
And welcome to all of you very familiar faces.
What would a live report be without you, eh?
you’re free to NEVER LEAVE NOW.
Something happened on the livestream!
I mean, you joke about Pong, but… That’s quite reminiscent of it.
Marathon being a live service game is just so poetic.
It goes on and on and on and on… (and Ariston?)
Bring back the PSP as a wing mirror!
But also good night.
I bet you won’t sleep for FOMO now.
I’ve got all of Jack Tretton’s old ties.
They’ll never see them coming!
The show begins
We’re nearly there now.
Strap in and hold onto your slippers.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, etc.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
AstroBot free add-on coming this autumn
What’s up first?
Ah, a content warning - I love that game.
It’s too early for a remaster isn’t it?
Perhaps this is DLC.
There’s some Helldivers crossover content.
It’s a free add-on coming this autumn.
A claymation game now, which looks like the sort of thing Tim Burton might makr.
Dark and disturbed, and absurd, and very stylised.
A kind of adventure game perhaps?
It’s a PS5 or PSVR 2 game.
The Midnight Walk, it’s called, by Moon Hood Studios.
Oh, mention of monsters, and now we’re seeing them - strange humanoids with no faces.
Now we’re seeing a player character with a robe on and a sword of some kind.
They’re flying on a drone.
There are some environmental puzzles.
It’s pretty in a high fidelity kind of way.
Some kind of RPG?
Hell Is Us, it’s called.
It’s from Rogue Factor and Nacon.
Metro now, it looks like, for PSVR 2.
I can’t imagine anything more terrifying!
It looks like a nice conversion from what we’re seeing.
Metro Awakening VR it’s called, coming 7th November.
An action RPG of some sort now.
The music in the background sounds an awful lot like Skyrim, but this is definitely not.
It’s a bit more cartoony, and more action focused.
It’s sort of handsome but also a bit plain at the same time.
There’s some small print about online multiplayer, so I guess that’s a large part of it.
Crikey, that’s a blast from the past.
It’s coming in 2025.
Palworld out today on PS5
It’s Pokemon!
Shh don’t, don’t.
I guess it’s coming to PS5 - providing the lawsuits don’t shut it all down first.
Palworld is coming to PS5 today!
Lunar Remastered Collection coming to PS5
Two old original PlayStation RPGs are coming to PS5 remastered.
Lunar Remastered Collection is coming to PS5 and PS4 in spring 2025.
Turtles Shredders Revenge DLC coming later today.
That is a great game - try it!
Fantasian NEO Dimension arrives 5th December on PS5, says Sakaguchi-san, the absolute legend.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard gameplay now.
This must be a bit later in the game.
I’m glad there are big dragons in this Dragon Age.
The dragons in Inquisition were spectacular.
Yeah, I don’t recognise this encounter.
We’re seeing Rook as a mage here.
you could switch between weapons, as we’re seeing this Rook do - between stave and spellblade builds.
Spellblade being a wepaon in each hand.
Note how active combat is - you’re not safe anywhere on the battlefield.
I really liked it.
Ooh that’s the elven god who’s name I can’t spell.
And therein ends the setpiece I suppose.
Alan Wake 2 The Lake House shown and dated for October
The Bureau, Lake Falls, the FBC.
This has to be Remedy…
It’s Alan Wake 2, the Lake House.
Coming this October, which is, like, very soon.
Shame they weren’t more specific!
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver remaster coming 10th Decemeber
Aha!
This must be the Legacy of Kain remasters that were leaked earlier.
It’s coming 10th December.
A cosy farming game flitting by here, which actually looks rather good.
There’s multiplayer and you’ve got the option to all hang-glide around together.
Towers of Aghasba, that’s launching in early access this November, I think they said.
We’re going to get a release date apparently.
The trailer shows some fluid-looking gameplay.
Look at how they smash hordes of enemies!
So mindful, so demure.
I remember reporting on the Japanese sales charts and seeing the incredible numbers for this series.
Oh there’s the date!
Monster Hunter Wilds releases 28th February
Capcom now - this must be Monster Hunter Wilds.
There’s a huge sea beast, flopping out of the water like an angry whale.
We’re seeing a montage of some environments changing from stormy to clear-skied now.
There’s that fluffy spider monster we’ve seen in other trailers.
I love the colour in this game, and all of the incidental detail.
This game looks better and better - I wasn’t convinced at first but now I am.
It’s all there.
It’s coming 28th February 2025.
Horizon Zero Dawn remaster coming 31st October
What’s next?
I think it looks quite fun.
It’s coming 14th November, in case you didn’t know.
And here’s some proper news: Horizon Zero Dawn is being remastered for PC and PS5.
It’s got new mocap, new graphical updates.
Apparently it brings it up to the same visual fidelity as Horizon Forbidden West.
It’s coming 31st October (the same day as Dragon Age).
If you own the original, it’s possible for you to update for 10.
No shade on the game!
A few piecemeal updates flit by.
We’re seeing some all-white PlayStation controllers.
They’re part of the Chroma Collection.
Oh and here’s Mark Cerny to talk about the PS5 Pro.
We’re going to get a look at some of the games being enhanced for the new machine.
So, let’s try and catch them.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth; Horizon Forbidden West; Gran Turismo 7; Hogwarts Legacy.
Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
THe Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
I missed one or two for sure!
Is it Assassin’s Creed?
It seems like Assassin’s Creed.
No it’s Sucker Punch!
It’s a new Ghost of Tsushima?
A female protagonist by the looks of things, and with twin swords.
Ghost of Yotei it’s called!
It’s coming next year.
The show closes
And that’s it!
Well, well, well - I liked that.
And it didn’t overstay it’s welcome.
I wonder if Ghost of Yotei is an expandalone, Miles Morales style?
I completely missed this for some reason - apologies!
World of Assassination suggest that yeah, it’s the whole lot.
You were watching a bog advert?
Haha - I like this summary!
Haha - oh I see, I see.
Goodnight Miyamoto and thanks for all the great games again!
And yes, let’s will that Switch 2 reveal into existence.
Come on, Nintendo, do it.
Thank you all for joining us tonight.
It wasn’t too bad, was it?
That’s it from me tonight.
Thanks for keeping me company.
See you all soon!
