I was a little underwhelmed with the State of Play. They showed off 14 games and I know a lot of people are excited about them, but personally there’s only a couple that looks interesting to me.
Silent Hill 2 Remake looks great, but I never played any other Silent Hill games. The closest I have come to having anything to do with the franchise is when Pyramid Head came to Dead by Daylight. A few years ago after streaming all the Resident Evil games, I did look into Silent Hill. I may even own some of the games, but I would want to start with the first Silent Hill game and the only way to do that is to emulate it. Maybe they will add it to Playstation Plus closer to the release of the remake, I would love to check it out.
I love the Supermassive games that I’ve played. Man of Medan and the Quarry were really well done and I’ve had Until Dawn on my list of games to play for a while. The game is coming to Playstation 5 and PC. I usually play games on my Xbox if I had the choice, but since it was a PS4 exclusive I had planned on playing it there. Now I may pick it up on PC whenever it does come out.
Marvel Rivals is a PVP team based shooter based on Marvel characters. Basically Overwatch with Marvel. It’s been on PC for a little while now and it is coming to both Playstation and Xbox. Xbox, PS5, and Steam will be having a beta in July for the game.
The rest of what was shown is pretty exciting, but personally a lot of it just isn’t for me. God of War Ragnarok I played on PS5, Conchord is another PVP game like Overwatch, and I don’t have VR to even look at those games. I will say when it comes to Marvel Rivals and Conchord, if either game decides to do a PVE mode then it could take over Overwatch. I know Overwatch’s PVE being cancelled upset a lot of people and putting out a PVE mode for those games could help draw in that audience.
There is going to be a lot more news, rumors, and leaks over the next week or so and I cannot wait for it. What was your favorite part about the State of Play?
