Hopefully some good stuff at this State of Play if it's over 40 minutes, especially with that recent Xbox Developer Direct starting things off well.

I want to see new stuff, I'm getting tired of constantly seeing some sort of Final Fantasy and those Yakuza games are getting annoying!

MikeRyan87

I think this will be one of the best SoPs ever. Alot of it has leaked.

Will look something like this id say.

FF7 Rebirth

Pacific Drive

Stellar Blade

Death Stranding 2 On The Beach

Rise of the Ronin

Metro Awakening

Wanderer

Judas

Until Dawn Remaster

Silent Hill 2

Sonic The Hedgehog

Concord

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Maybe stuff like Lost Souls Aside/Little Devil Inside

Potential-Monke

With the chances of another one before the end of Feb to coincide with the year release of VR2, I'm hoping some VR2 content will be announced, specifically something Astro related.

Potential-Monke

Beyonce Butt Waifu Stellar Blade could be good, gameplay looks interesting at least. Looks pretty too. It's definitely Asian...

Dave the Diver confirmed for April (with PC footage shown...)

A free to play Silent Hill? Along with SH2.

Judas, new game from the Bioshock peeps looks suitable Bioshock and suitably crazy!

Metro VR game, and Legendary Tales which looks like fun Skyrim VR!

Andrew76

It’s been fairly crap so far imo.

Judas is the pick for me so far. Did they mention a release window?

Rise of the Ronin has potential although it has a whiff of Assassins Creed about it. March 22 so not long to see what it reviews like.

Potential-Monke

No mention of a date, just 2024.

Rise of the Ronin looks like a less realistic Ghost of Tsushima.

Death Stranding 2 looking suitably crazy, and a little dig at God of War!

Andrew76

DS2 looks great.

Potential-Monke

Hideo announcing a new espionage action game which will be kinda like a movie too... Due out in 2 years for his 40th anniversary of being a game designer. Hmmm.

New State of Play on Feb 6th for FFVIIRebirth extended look.

Not a bad SoP. New stuff, more details on upcoming stuff, some new announcements and Hideo confirming his next MGS game after DS2. Not bad overall imo, but nothing ground breaking either. And no Astro... boo!

DaveyDave

That was pretty underwhelming. How do they seriously not have a release date for Silent Hill 2? They also showed a lot of janky gun play for a game that isn't focused on guns. Graphics look PS4 era too. I'm not very enthusiastic about it.

Seriously Until Dawn remake has a release window but nothing for SH2 lol.

At least they kept Final Fantasy out of it and gave it it's own State of Play next week.

Microsoft had a pretty solid albeit short Developer Direct and we get more Foam Stars, another Sonic Generations and an Until Dawn remake...

It seems more akin to another Nioh like. Team Ninja basically just using that formula now in different settings, though at least this one seems to have some novel navigation and movement gimmicks.

When I saw a load of icons across that top navigation bar I thought Ubisoft. Hopefully I’m wrong. The grapple hook was lifted straight from Sekiro, which is fine long as it makes traversing fun. I do like the setting though so fingers crossed it turns out well.

Least I have plenty of time to go back and finish Death Stranding. 😁

Don't think he said it would be out in 2 years, considering they won't start full production until after Death Stranding releases next year. He was just saying he celebrates that anniversary and this would be the culmination of all his work.

Haven't played Until Dawn yet, but did they have to change the character models for the remake? Looked less realistic.

Biggest surprise of the State of Play was I think every game shown had a lot of gameplay, except maybe one or two.

Varik

Hell divers fans were worried there'd be no vehicles, nothing in previous trailers and dev not saying anything when asked.

It's not at launch and hopefully won't be limited to just mech varient but still better than nothing.

Zero-Cool

New PS Stars Campaign for points. One has you buying a certain game from a list, the other is playing a certain game from ps plus extra, easy points.

Kiith

Anyone know of a decent repair service for a PS5, if one even exists? My nephew's hit the floor after the dog dragged some cables down. It powers on (blue lights come on, then white light after about 10 seconds, think that's normal), but won't connect to the tv. I took a look, but can't see any physical damage on the board, so not sure what else i can do.

TitianGerm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121709398#Comment_121709398

I assume you've checked the HDMIs are plugged in correctly on both the TV and PS5?

Might be worth trying a different cable as well in case it was damaged when it fell.

If neither work I'd say his next step is to contact Sony and look for a repair through them. A wild guess but I doubt it'll be fixed for less than €200?

Try a different HDMI cable first and if that fails try boot into safe mode: https://www.playstation.com/en-ie/support/hardware/safe-mode-playstation/#:~:text=Turn%20off%20your%20console%20by,and%20another%20seven%20seconds%20later.

jj880

Pal of mine broke the HDMI port. We had a look at the soldering needed. That was some tight looking work. Must be a special kit involved.

Kiith

Yeah, using a different HDMI at the moment that works on other devices, but nothing going to the screen. And same with safe mode, nothing appears on the screen at all.

Didn't realise Sony offered a repair service. Probably best to go straight to them.

State of play if you missed it:

I might be the only one that would prefer if the next HellDivers was the old school top down view, really liked the first one

duploelabs

There's a free silent hill available to play called The Short Message that was launched that SOP

Zero-Cool

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121709853#Comment_121709853

I haven't tried it yet but getting poor reviews saying it's a mix of Life is Strange and Silent Hill which sounds right up my street :)

That's fairly accurate in fairness

MikeRyan87

Big rumours of heaps of first party Xbox games showing up on PS5.

Starfield, Indiana Jones etc.

Wild strategy change from MS but could see from a mile off their current strategy was unsustainable. So secretive about GP numbers for a reason.

Potential-Monke

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121722879#Comment_121722879

I'm gonna assume the reason is it doesn't paint a great picture, or at least not the one that MS are pushing. As I've said in other threads, if they put as much effort into making games as they do in making accessories, they may not need to do this. I don't know why MS have fallen from their 360 grace, but they have proven they can pump out good games, so I'm not sure what is happening the last 5+ years. They're more interested in acquisition, and all that monies could have been pumped into decent games instead. *shrug*

Cotts72

I'm all for playing gears of war on the PS5

Zero-Cool

Handy 50 points for playing one of the new ps plus games.
