Pi tries to predict a Sony showcase; Sony drops a State of Play... again.

[kitler53]

The teams went from:
Spiderman 1 -> Spiderman 2

Spiderman MM -> Wolverine

so you agree with me!!

Further emboldened by the leak not appearing at Gamescom.

I'm massively grasping at straws here, but frankly I think Sony needs a showcase after the price hike.

I've been thinking similar things since the gen started yet Sony keeps printing money so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not really.  they need a system seller and they have it in GoW.  

the better question is what are their system sellers in 2023?   one of these days MS will actually release a good game and people might even notice...

Will MS studios release a good game anytime soon? I don't think so.

Will a Microsoft owned studio release a good game soon? 100%

I think 2023 will be a competitive year between Sony and MS.

Some of those studios are pretty capable, but they're in a weird place. Like many of them are getting super spread out with multiple projects that all seem to be years out still.

Starfield will almost certainly be a good game, even if Kitler hates it.

I've never played a Bethesda game but every fan has told me
1. they are buggy as shame
2. they aren't fun until the modding community fixes it

are we really going to say MS made a good game if the PC community is required to fix it?

1.) They are absolutely buggy, doesn't stop them from mostly being great experiences.

2.) Some people never like them, some people only love them with mods, some people like them just fine without mods.

That's just the elitist crowd. Millions and millions of people loved Skyrim on ps360 without modding.

I played skyrim and enjoyed it heavily on PS3. I loved fallout 4, due to some circumstances but haven't finished it yet, but i will.

the "fans" I speak of is not the voice of the internet mob.  I speak only if IRL friends that are in no way elitist.

Huh. Irl I've only had the opposite experience. My social circle pre Fallout 4 loved Bethesda. Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim all had glitches on console but they were often people's favorite games.

That's a long long time ago though. Recent Bethesda has been judged by Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 which didn't have the same response.

I still need to play Fallout 4. I actually haven't played any of them.

My brother is a big modder, but I am not.

Supposedly it's on the 8th. Which if true will be announced on Friday most likely.
