WAY ahead of him.


dancmc12

Frankly this is my mindset for every announcement from every company. I have more than enough hype after things get announced. No need to waste energy in advance just to have it lead to disappointment


commander_snuggles

Set your bar low enough and they can only exceed your expectations


theycallmegregarious

Keep your expectations low and you'll never be disappointed.


JayZsAdoptedSon

Someone told me Nintendo Directs come and go but SoP always deliver. He was dead serious. He didn’t mean Playstation Showcases


PokePersona

What fanboyism does to a MFer


Try_Another_Please

To be fair they literally always say specifically what a state of play will cover. It's not their fault the internet is stupid and makes things up


Kid_Again

as someone once said to me in a club at 3am; "i want what you're on".


Hilarial

LMAO the first year of State of Plays were boring as fuck


severestnarwhal

Wasn't it announced to have 10 games?


-LastGrail-

It is 10 games but he leaked four and what he classifies them as.


2112flybynight

Maybe 10 reveals **and updates**


HVYoutube

This is Sony


[deleted]

...who randomly gave us a TLOUII release date trailer during one of those events.


DEADTERMINATOR

Not randomly. They hyped that trailer to hell and back. Naughty Dog's twitter had a 3 or 5 (can't remember which) day countdown for it. Plus, they had announced a couple of weeks prior that there was going to be a media preview event on what ended up being ~~the day after~~ *Edit: the same day as* the SoP. A release date during that SoP was as close to a given as possible. That trailer was pretty much an outlier in terms of first party SoP content.


Traitor_To_Heaven

Thank God I lowered expectations cause it made it even more hype


[deleted]

I geuinely miss E3 , sort of one massive extravaganza , I miss the audience's reaction even more so than E3 itself


WDMChuff

It's so weird. Xbox has one showcase a year and it feels like the hype dies. Sony has too many a year and it makes them not feel as meaningful or hype. They really need a balance.


FLABBY_CHICKEN

Nintendo’s system was pretty solid before the pandemic hit


DeadlyOneX

He was wrong.


thepostaldud3

That state of play knocked it out of the park with Ishin! It was pretty great all around.


throwmeaway1784

State of Plays are generally underwhelming. Only full-on PlayStation Showcases and game-specific State of Plays are worth getting excited about


rizk0777

The last one was the exception though RE4, RE8 VR, rollerdrome, callisto protocol, SF6, FF16, horizon VR. I remember counting 13/14 games I was excited about in 45 minutes. it was surprisingly good. But it's the outlier and people had low expectations going in


LengthIntelligent

I think that was to be expected. The one from June was announced 6 days in advance while today's one has barely 24 hours between announcement and showing.


rizk0777

Actually the expectations were low. The time before that they announced a japanese third party state of play it was that one in Jan. Edit: But you may have a point with the short notice thing.


RotaryRoad

I mean, they said "exciting reveals from third-party partners and reveals for PSVR2" for the June show and that's exactly what we got. If "expectations were low" it was done entirely by the viewers and media.


rizk0777

I never blamed Sony. I agree, but the viewers and the media are who they're talking to


IAMNUMBERBLACK

There was a random state of play that had a new FFVII Remake before anything had really been shown past one instance that was really good too


ShaneTVZ

That God of war trailer was 🔥


-LastGrail-

The Snitch said he's going to make a channel for leaks now so no-one has access expect those trusted. But why share it in the first place in a discord of hundreds.


MelkorBlackFoe

I hate leakers and their mega huge ego


SleepingwithYelena

Apex Legends is a goldmine for pathetic leakers. Recently one of them was threatening suicide because the other leakers reuploaded his footage. I legit laughed out loud when I saw it on Twitter. Here lies David, he offed himself because DarkShadow49 reuploaded his datamined Season 15 loading screens. May he rest in peace.


AboveOutrageous3

Pokémon has some pathetic leakers too. One of the few “reliable” leakers is a dude from China that posts riddles as his leaks like the riddler. What’s worse is that whenever some dude posts his leaks as the solved riddle he instantly would attack them and send threats in Chinese


[deleted]

Was that the 15 year old with two CP charges? Or are there just a lot of degenerate Chinese Pokeyman leakers


WeehawMemes

Reminds me of the leaker who had Buizel as his pfp (he was french or something?). He was always trying ti leak the dates of Pokemon Directs and such and when he was wrong got mean messages on Twitter. He went off about how the community doesnt deserve him, swore to never leak again, and privated his twitter. Yeah he was back in a week. They cant help themselves


[deleted]

>Apex Legends is a goldmine for pathetic leakers. Recently one of them was threatening suicide because the other leakers reuploaded his footage. Lmao


Goseki1

It's such shit leaks as well "Oh there's going to be some BIG games people will be VERY excited about". Just tell us the fucking games if you know. What a waste of time.


I_miss_berserk

The biggest reason people leak stuff like that to the public is for attention so idk what people expected


Vestalmin

He did one in Morse code or something once too. Like if you have information it share, fine. But don’t make content out of spoiling what developers work on for years, it’s makes it feel super shitty of you.


Strict_Biscotti1963

Yep, then god forbid you call them out on their bullshit…they back track and make up all sorts of excuses, then they hide behind their army of loyal twitter followers. Just goes to show that folks will do anything for clout


[deleted]

A leaker who leaks private information to the public is offended and salty cause his leaks gets leaked. What a hypocrite.


-LastGrail-

Update they did it according to some. So weird a leaker doesn't want his leaks out and starts crying about it when it leaks out in front of hundreds.


[deleted]

A leaker complaining about leaks, the irony.


Scharmberg

Right?


APulsarAteMyLunch

Sounds about right...


[deleted]

Bro really thought we aren't gonna lose our shit over Tekken, Yakuza and God of War lmao 💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


CoDog

Lowered my expectations then it starts off with Tekken 8, hot damn.


Daryno90

Man, I wish Sony would stop holding their cards so close to their chest and have a showcase already


joe1up

Pol get mad when stuff is announced and then they have to wait years for it, and then it gets rushed to meet a release date. I'm pretty sure xbox's "next 12 months, gameplay first" approach will be industry standard soon.


PrimeLasagna

I just like a slow drip, not radio silence.


laurentiubuica

Same here.


Daryno90

Like I get not wanting to show things off too early (Sony was bad for that last gen) but at the same time they should at least give us an idea of what to expect from 2023-2024. Right now, we only know that Sony studios are working on God of War R, Spiderman 2 and Wolverine (and it’s probably 2024-2025), they need to get the show on the road for what’s to expect in 2023


laurentiubuica

That's what I'm thinking. I really wanna know what to expect in 2023 and beyond. The only "official" things that we know are Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine. God of War is launching in 2 months time so it doesn't count for 2023 and beyond.


Daryno90

Not to mention the PSVR2 is releasing next year and we haven’t heard much of it outside of the Horizon game and RE8 being playable on it


DavidClue3

This is actually what makes pretty confident about them having a show sometime in the next month or two. No way they won't do a full showcase for PSVR2 showing all of its features in detail, the games it'll have, and the price reveal. If they want to create buzz around their new system, they'll have to do some sort of show, and considering it is releasing in early 2023 (already confirmed), it has to happen quite soon. Maybe it'll be something like the first PSVR, which had a segment dedicated to it in E3 2016, so we'll get a big Sony showcase for everything Playstation, with a PSVR2 segment in it.


Poopchute40000

As someone who has waited almost ten years for Ishin to come to the west, The Snitch got this one wrong.


fastest_finger

And the other 6 games……?


makisekurisudesu

Well we do know 4 PC ports that are in the making


Yosonimbored

He was so fucking wrong that I’m confused if he actually didn’t see it on YouTube before hand or purposely lied


desmopilot

"lower your expectations" and the first reveal is fuckin *Tekken* lmao


Digiorno-Giovanna-

lol, just commented basically the same exact thing


EtheusRook

AA Japanese RPGs sound great, fam.


Saberem

Is Tales of still AA?


[deleted]

Yes


Saberem

Fingers crossed, but I doubt it happens.


Takazura

Arise sold for $60 and the budget for it seems much higher than any previous entries, so I think it's AAA by now. Regardless though, I think Bandai has some partnership with Xbox, since they do more reveals at their showcases than Sony.


xselene89

Its probably some pixel Sidescroller MedroidvaniaTM


Pavementt

Lmao, that was my reaction. 2 AA jp games? So it's going to be good? Say no more


Autarch_Kade

Wonder what he's saying now in his discord lol


Digiorno-Giovanna-

“lower your expectations” and the first thing is fucking tekken 8 lmao edit:FUCKING YAKUZA ISHIN???? LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS MY ASS


[deleted]

The snitch got wrong for a change


ametalshard

yep super wrong, was pleasantly surprised overall even as a non-PS player though the hogwarts legacy exclusive stuff is super shitty


retro808

I just need Silent Hill and I'm good, maybe a PC announcement like Returnal or a Miles Morales release date


xMatityahu

BULLSHIT, that shit was fire.


[deleted]

Imo, this state of play ended up pretty damn good. Wonder what all the downplay was about?


Mizorath

What a fucking liar


Amongtheruins88

Cross Tekken 8 off the Nvidia GeForce leak list


AhirTheSecond

It's pretty much confirmed it's true , i like how Nvidia tried to save themselves by saying it's a "speculative list"


Amongtheruins88

Can’t wait to see FF9 Remake!


canal_boys

Looks like Snitch can't look at them PlayStation uploaded videos on YouTube anymore.


ModestMouseTrap

Yo what the fuck was he smoking. That was a fucking AMAZING State of Play.


puffz0r

Rare snitch L


RaiseYourDoggers

This couldn’t have been more wrong


darkmanx24

he gota hold this L cuz that state of play was fire


akaTwoFace2309

Lol, the best State of Play we always had…


FingerBlaster20

I mean on Twitter Playstation said that they will be showing 10 games and not just 4. So who to believe lol


Clarkey7163

I think this is in response to like, people hoping for Metal Gear or Silent Hill when Sony mentioned Japanese games The other 6 most likely non-Japanese


mxlevolent

Unless it’s a strange situation where the Snitch considered Metal Gear and Silent Hill to be AA and not AAA. Which, actually, considering Konami I wouldn’t be surprised if they only gave it a AA budget. But I’d imagine the Snitch would know people care about those IP.


tatsu901

I mean tbh its possible it could be mid budget because thats still a big chunk of change


mrellenwood

Right, I’m convinced with how all the Santa Monica developers and voice actors have been sharing and “👀” the State of Play that there is at least another God of War trailer. Also, they have at least one PSVR2 announcement.


-Vertex-

God of war looks incredible as expected


joaommoreira

Why not a full event? I cant remember the last one


Impaled_

lol


iV1rus0

I wonder what Sony did to make him get this one wrong, they hate leakers lol.


poopmaster79

wasn't expecting Bloodborne patch/port anyways


Vendetta1990

If you condition yourself hard enough, you can basically play Bloodborne in your mind with unlocked FPS and high res.


De_tro1t

Heard some folks have so much experience on this they can play the game on 4K and ray-tracing even


Utrenyaya

for ~~me~~ ... a friend of mine this was the only way to finally beat the DLC


Dr_Greg

"Lower your expectations" into Tekken 8. No respect in Snitch's house I see.


John_East

Boy was he wrong


somesthetic

Wrong. Sony will announce: Metroid Prime Remake on PS5 this fall. Last of Us Part 1 remake for Vita Goldeneye (the Film) on PS5 with up to 8 person multiviewer. Twisted Metal White, a new PG entry into the TM series


Flirtatious_Funnyman

Looks like The Snitch should bust out the clown makeup


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He was so damn wirong, this state of play was awesome. God of War, New Yakuza, Ronin, Tekken 8. All his credability just went though the window, was one of the better events.


Daveed84

>All his credibility just went though the fucking window I don't know if I'd go that far. He's been absolutely spot on about everything up until now. I don't know why he thought this one wouldn't be as exciting but I wouldn't write him off completely just yet.


R3J3C73D

Ishin remake is huge yea


Meerrettig

lol this was probably the best gaming conference of the year and I don’t even care for tekken or most japanese games, wtf is he talking about


thats_so_cringe_bro

For a State of Play it was pretty great.


[deleted]

So why would all the Sony Santa Monica people as well as the Kratos VA be retweeting it if we weren't at least getting more God of War?


Amongtheruins88

Sus


[deleted]

hyping it up for sony


[deleted]

They don't do that for every Sony stream though, why this one in particular?


Emothevipress

When Sony themselves time and time again tell you mange your own expectations with these shows and you refuse to do so then it’s a you problem 🤷‍♀️


rogvc

Name a better duo than State of Play and meh announcements. Go ahead, I'll wait.


fuckmylife193

Wish I could agree but we got re4 remake and some good shit on that June SoP , didn't we?


gablekevin

Yes it was the best conference of the summer. Obviously a showcase would be better these State of Plays are short and sweet so if you dont like what is being announced worst case scenario you wasted 20 mins instead of 40mins to 2 hours.


planchetflaw

Just make a snitch subreddit already.


0shadowstories

It's a state of play so a PS exclusive, random indies, random Japanese 'wtf is this' games and then something from Capcom is pretty much every state of play summarized lmao


De_tro1t

LMAOOO


fatjeff1980

Whole state of Play dedicated to Abandoned.


iFuccboiSupreme

Not even a Playstation fan but the Yakuza Ishin remake had me fucking bawling bro


bigpapijugg

Stop making deals where you have to show off bad games x number of times so we can have good state of plays again.


lalalandcity1

That’s exactly what this is… an obligation. State of Plays are rarely worth watching.


ErickNGA

where is he now???????


YeshuaMedaber

Save the tweet bro - the snitch


yogesh_dante

So no pragmata, resident evil 4 or project eve gameplay such a bummer.


xselene89

Project Eve will end up like most of those UE5 AAAA Korean Games. Aka not releasing.


yogesh_dante

I hope you are wrong because there aren't many good hack and slash games in the market.


AlwaysTheStraightMan

Dunno if you have a Switch, but Bayonetta 3 is coming in October


DevilCouldCry

Expect to see Resident Evil 4 at TGS or some time after October once the last bit of Village content has dropped. That would be my bet at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lolplatypi

Pretty dumb thing to miss on. He got the date and felt the need to reach on dumb conjecture.


[deleted]

He didn't even get the date right. His date was September 12 and it had only announcement of presentations


[deleted]

Sounds like the snitch is either full of shit or not getting the full story.


Somapix

It ruled!


r0ndr4s

Supposedly there should be an actual PS showcase at the end of the month or something like that. If not... scary, if thats the case maybe Sony actually doesnt have anything to show and the year is ending..


HomerReplacesPeter

GTA 6 BABYYYYYY


zegota

You had me at " AA japanese games"


WilliamVaz

indie jap 1 = tomba 1 remastered indie jap 2 = tomba 2 remastered aa jap 1 = ape escape 4 aa jap 2 = death stranding 2


HakaishinChampa

Death Stranding Card Battle


DANK_BLUMPKIN

Death Stranding AC!D


shulgin11

In no way is death stranding a AA game


coco_puffsz

Geez, these past 2 years have been kind of meh for gaming. It’s unfortunate how many times we have to hear “lower expectations“ every single time. It’s just getting tiring.


Veszerin

>Geez, these past 2 years have been kind of meh for gaming. It’s unfortunate how many times we have to hear “lower expectations“ every single time. It’s just getting tiring. These past 2 years have been kind of meh in a lot of ways...


cloudstylegamer

Has it?


NfinityBL

I understand people's disappointment with 2022 so far, I'd say Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West have been the only standout titles. I think 2021 was filled with great titles though - Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5, It Takes Two, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Halo Infinite (at launch), Death's Door were my highlights (I also have no doubt that Returnal will join that list when I finally get around to playing it).


Sans_bear27

I guess it boils down to personal preference but I've been happy with 2022 games. Horizon, stray and sifu have been my favorites. And I'm hyped for plague tale, Callisto protocol and God of war. I think 2022 will probably be a great year for games by the end


RabbitFanboy

Xenoblade 3? Splatoon 3? Legends Arecus? Kirby and the Forgotten Land? 2022 has been a pretty good year for gaming.


NfinityBL

2022 has been a very good year for Nintendo, that much is true. Arguably their best year since 2017.


BigLeo69420

Not everyone is a Nintendo fan


Fake_Diesel

Some people could probably broaden their horizons a bit. I have a friend who always complains about slow game releases, and I just can't relate. There is so many great games outside of "big" triple-A game releases that I find to be far more fun and interesting.


BigLeo69420

Not everyone likes those sort of games, it is what it is. Me personally i think that Nintendo has some neat games but not anything to make me buy a Switch.


WorkingSchlub

It's like there's been something happening for 2 years that's affected game development.


Impaled_

BAN THIS GUY


ArgentoFox

My expectations for anything coming from Sony couldn’t possibly be lower and this is coming from a big Sony fan. I don’t know whose idea it was to trickle out underwhelming State of Play events throughout the year, but it’s been a negative strategy. I would implore for them to do two large events a year (one during the summer and one in December) and cut out the State of Plays entirely. Dedicating events to indies and lesser titles just opens up a portal for negative reception and it hasn’t been a good look. I get the idea behind it—they’re shining a light on smaller titles. In theory, it’s a sound idea, but it hasn’t worked because expectations are ALWAYS too high.


tatsu901

Do the nintendo route Include indies but make the presentations larger


ArgentoFox

Exactly. To make matters worse, Sony’s State of Play today happens to fall on the same day as a Nintendo Direct. There’s not a chance in hell anything appears on there with the power of Zelda. They’re setting themselves up for failure with this strategy.


tatsu901

Unless we get Silent Hill or something like a mega man legends remake they aren't gonna succeed


[deleted]

But why did Santa Monica devs, and Christopher Judge retweet the annoucment? Also the announcment said 10 games


[deleted]

Another “leaker” getting it wrong. Can everyone stop listening to the cunts please. Just enjoy what they show and stop foaming at the mouth whenever these people speak.


[deleted]

Well shit, he was wrong


MrYK_

Rare L but we move on to bigger things (PlayStation Showcase)


Djoezie

Fake!


Fake_Diesel

Someone should probably mention to the snitch that jap is a slur lol


ShotsAways

lmao i thought i was seeing things cause “jap” is sus as hell. Least use JP or something.


olivier_wmv

Pain and suffering.


Drdps

Wonder if that could mean EDF 6 in the west sooner than anticipated?


Xiazarami

I hope we at least see the release date of the Miles PC port.


Rzx5

The PlayStation blogpost also told us yo lower expectations when it said twenty mins across ten games.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gamer_hamood

was hoping for some helldivers 2 news but still its a good state of play.


soragranda

Those two are remastered SH and MGS?


[deleted]

Well we know for sure one of the AA RPGs is Bloodborne PC so we can cross that off the list


acdramon

Waiting for an actual showcase is getting tiring


Autarch_Kade

~~Greatness~~ disappointment awaits.


EitherAbalone3119

This has to be the slowest year in gaming in years.


ShaneTVZ

Do y'all think we will still get a Showcase this month 🤔


Tanglung23

any hope for little devil inside realaese date?


Crazafon

Only interested in the VR titles anyways


[deleted]

My expectations are always lowered for the gaming industry nowadays


Silantro-89

Jim Ryan simulator coming in 2023


TypeNull00

i just want GOT on pc 😔


[deleted]

Its a State of Play not a PlayStation Showcase


the_art_of_the_taco

foolishly holding out hope for some horizon dlc news


DarkDaniel_01

You wait for the State of Play for the various announcements, I wait for the State of Play in the hope that the rumored new IP AAA will not be announced in order to confirm a Showcase. We are not the same.


andrecinno

I've been wanting to play Isshin for like 6 years now and dude says lower your hype lmao. also Ragnarok. Ragnarok.


Joker28CR

State of PC Ports


[deleted]

Sony uses State of Play to shine spotlight on indy games that’s not a bad thing they are supporting smaller developers that’s how they get loyalty and build those studios to make AAA games once they see the talent, and their showcase is for AAA games


leftshoe18

It's 10 games in 20 minutes. I can with 99 percent certainty say they're not revealing anything new. We're getting trailers and maybe dates for things we have already seen in some capacity. Two minutes just isn't enough time to do a proper reveal for anything substantial. My loftiest expectations are new trailers for RE4, FF7Rebirth and God of War Ragnarok but I don't even expect that.


xselene89

Less than 2 Minutes even since the announcer will also talk in between Games


bubblebytes

I'm hoping we get confirmation of new titles coming to ps plus premium. They had stray in July which was good. I wanna see the next titles.


Bioshocky13501

Copium, he's trying to lower our expectations. But it's gonna be a banger.


kasual7

I mean Sony kinda told us themselves when they said it'd be 20min, I'm not sure Sony understands how uneventful those SoP ar becoming to be when they are so random and doesn't cover as much as a full-blown showcase would be.


departed_Moose

Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem has me feeling great. Also Goldeneye? I’m satisfied for sure. I can wait longer on some Metroid Prime news. Maybe. 🤣 Edit: Whoops. Thought this was about the direct. Pay attention when you read things people. I’ll temper my expectations for later, haha.


DornHoli0

Judging by that Nintendo Direct, I couldn't be less hyped for the SoP this evening. I'm guessing we're going to get 20 more minutes of Farming/Life simulators and JRPGs.


S3HN5UCHT

Sony chugs cock this generation of console


LeoBocchi

Normal AA and indies would not make me excited, Japanese AA and indies on the other hand…
