YouTube is probing its employees following the PlayStation State of Play leak that revealed all announcements ahead of the presentation.
I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.
The Epic Games Store has yet another free game, and it's a pretty damn good one.
This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.
I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.
At the 09:20, Mike expressed the same concern that i have when he said that Sony maybe doesn´t have anything new to announce/show for the PS4 and that´s may be the reason why they´re skipping both PSX and E3 2019, and that those new announcements would be made for the PS5.
When i said this might be the reason Sony skipped both PSX and E3 2019, people got all emotional and offended when in fact, it´s just the logical decision for Sony to make since they wouldn´t invest large sums of money on PSX and E3 2019, just to get people hyped with impossible expectations when Sony supposedly don´t have any new game (first party) comming to PS4.
Even with Sony skipping those two large events, there´s people that still are under the impression that Sony will blow people´s minds with new games for the PS4 via some digital event like Nintendo´s Direct events. It´s possible, but i´m not holding my breath.
We should find out soon enough.
August 2018: “We will use the next three years to prepare the next step, to crouch down so that we can jump higher in the future." - Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony president and CEO.
September 2018: "Sony will not be holding a PlayStation Experience event in 2018" - Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden.
November 2018: "We will not activate or hold a press conference around E3." - PlayStation senior vice president of communications Jennifer Clark.
This is known as "in line with business strategy", "saying something and acting on it" or "none-rocket science".
Can't wait to see what Sony is up to.
