Hey folks!
I know it might be premature to start a topic on a summer show for PS when it's still in the rumor mill, but I still thought it would be fun to chat about the community's state of mind for upcoming games going into May! As some of you know, there's been news brewing among a few 'insiders' saying that Sony is prepping a show for the month of May, notably Jeff Grubb. No confirmations yet, and Grubb himself isn't sure what kind of show it is though he is «leaning» towards a showcase. So, assuming we get a show this summer, what would you like to see? What do you think is possible?
For kicks, I'll share a few of my own if a show is in the pipeline....
Very likely:
Concord Reveal with gameplay
Silent Hill 2 trailer and release date
Until Dawn Remake
Helldivers 2 content update/roadmap
At least 1 game reveal/update from Capcom
At least 1 game reveal/update from Square Enix
At least 1 remaster/remake of a PS first party title
A couple PSVR2 games, at least one first party
Elden Ring DLC trailer/update, just a bit more gameplay
Plausible:
Medievil 2 Remake (I really hope that Other Ocean article is true, but still a bit skeptical)
Next Sucker Punch game (likely GoT 2)
Cory Barlog's game
Astro game (PS5/PSVR2)
Wolverine update
New FromSoft game
FF9 Remake (This one I'll get flack for, but I'll own it, I think it could show this summer)
FF Tactics Remake (Same as FF9)
Fairgames gameplay/update
MGS Collection Vol. 2
Anything from Naughty Dog
Wishful:
Bloodborne 2
Medievil 3
Dragon Quest XII
Resident Evil 9
Bluepoint game update (I think it's way too early)
I know there's loads here! And I could have added more like Bend Studio, specific PSVR2 titles, and hardware like the PS5 Pro. I don't think most of these would happen if a show is announced, so take this as a wishlist with what I think is possible on a really basic scale of likelihood. Wouldn't surprise me if only 3-4 showed up if we get a presentation from Sony.
Finally, for the community, this is meant to be a lighthearted thread. We are having a fun discussion of what we might expect from a summer show, and can share updates together based on various rumors and leaks that come our way in gaming news. Just have a good time as we enter summer gaming season
Ace combat 8 has to be around the corner, and with full psvr 2 support.
Put that Kenny Loggins CD on and get ready to fly into the danger zone.
Need Suikoden Remaster release date.
PS5 Pro. Maybe some random remakes of not very old games (such a weird new trend)
It'd be nice to see what the Wolverine game will actually be like though, maybe have a proper Imsomniac segment, even if it is mostly just talking about how excited they are to be making it. Sven's Larian live streams went a massive way
Microsoft has reportedly decided that 2024's Call of Duty (which is widely believed to be a new Black Ops game) will launch on Xbox Game Pass.
With the PlayStation 5 entering the second half of its life, figures from Sony indicate around half of all current PlayStation gamers are yet to upgrade to current gen.
Concord, the PS5 and PC shooter from new Sony team Firewalk Studios, will deploy in 2024 – at least, that’s the plan according to a business briefing from the Japanese giant. While the firm notes that release schedules are always subject to change, it included the title’s tentative launch window in a live service slide alongside Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which is due out on 6th June.
Sony and LEGO are reportedly collaborating on a new PlayStation video game called LEGO Horizon Adventures.
While PS5 shipments missed Sony’s forecasted 21 million for fiscal year 2024, Sony had some positive news in its financials regarding PSN users and software sales. It revealed that the PlayStation Network reached 118 million monthly active users as of March 31st, 2024, up a whopping 10 million from the same period of last fiscal year.
After highlighting the success of Helldivers 2, which sold 12 million units as of May 5th, Sony is looking forward to two other live service games this year. These include Bungie’s Destiny 2: The Final Shape, out on June 4th, and Firewalk Studios’ Concord, which is still launching in 2024.
While Sony has said there are no plans to release sequels in its major franchises this financial year, ruling out new games in the Spider-Man and God of War series until at least April 2025, we do know of one new first-party PlayStation game coming out this year: Concord.
A PlayStation Showcase could be happening before the end of the month. At least, that's what it sounds like based on a letter from Hiroki Totoki, who took over as Chairman of PlayStation after Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino were named CEOs.
With the Xbox Games Showcase less than a month away, rumors circulated about what could appear. Gears 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War are favorites, but The Initiative’s Perfect Dark may be another. After reports from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb about it being in “rough shape,” insider Nate the Hate said it could make an appearance.
The Xbox Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest will return in June, but in the meantime, Sony is allegedly hosting a new PlayStation Showcase this month. The company hasn’t confirmed the same, but Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb recently reported that it’s still coming.
The rumored planned PlayStation Showcase is still taking place this month, according to reputable journalist and insider Jeff Grubb.
Electronic Arts has released its Q4 2024 earnings, and overall, it was a solid 12 months for the company. Overall, EA has brought in revenue or $7.43 billion, up 1 percent over FY2023, with both EA Sports FC 24 and Madden NFL 24 having record-setting years in terms of revenue generated (Madden was the best-selling entry in the series since the early 2000s).
