The current state of PlayStation right now sits in its most shaky moment for the entire PlayStation 5 lifecycle. For one, the PlayStation 5 Pro reveal that took place has left many dissatisfied with the mindset harbored at Sony. What’s more, even the price tag does not guarantee the results many anticipate. Digital Foundry chimed in to suggest the CPU for the Pro doesn’t suffice 60 fps in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI release.
Elsewhere, the events on PlayStation’s software side of things are another thing. Earlier in September, Sony Interactive Entertainment canned its highly-anticipated hero shooter Concord just two weeks following its release. Atop of that, many are confused what PlayStation has in mind for future game as reports suggest that 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn is the next prepared remaster from PlayStation Studios.
Although Astro Bot did offer a nice change of pace – we scored it a 9.5/10 – fans are looking for more reassurance moving forward. On Monday, Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed that a new PlayStation ‘State of Play’ showcase is prepared to be held this Tuesday, September 24th. The details are light, but discloses to be at least a half hour in duration.
“State of Play is back tomorrow, September 24! Tune in live for news and updates on more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world,” Sid Shuman, Sony Interactive Entertainment senior manager of global content communications says. The brief PlayStation Blog article does not press on what IPs exactly will be present at the showcase scheduled for this week.
While there are no confirmations on attending games, there are some previous reports on upcoming plans for PlayStation. One that has not been manifested is a remaster for Gravity Rush 2. In March, it was reported that the 2017 game is in the pipeline to release for PlayStation 5 & PC. You can read the full report by heading here.
