“So, a year goes by with no PS Showcase where it’s like, ‘Here’s all our big stuff,’” Grubb teased. “So people are going to set expectations low again, and it’s like, ‘Man, do you have Ghost of Tsushima to talk about yet? Is there going to be a Naughty Dog game this generation?’ It’s beginning to look like it’s taking them even longer than they expected to get these games out, and that’s hurting them in instances like the PS5 Pro where they try to make a case to justify the system but they don’t have anything to go along with it.”
Sony has generally been keeping its cards close to its chest this generation: Astro Bot was announced and released within four months, so it doesn’t necessarily mean big games aren’t coming. But PlayStation fans are understandably agitated: they want to know what big ticket first-party projects there are to look forward to, beyond the aforementioned Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Marvel’s Wolverine.
Let’s hope this upcoming State of Play is a good one, and not another let down like recent broadcasts have been.
