April 13th’s State of play

Just a couple weeks ago I was thinking how it was weird that we hadn’t got any of those State of Play events focused on a single exclusive game for a while. Well, that’s exactly what we got this week.

PlayStation announced a new State of Play stream and this time focused on the console-exclusive Final Fantasy XVI. And that’s really it. 20 minutes exclusively devoted to a single game that I’m anticipating very much.

Like with every of these streams, here I’ll be summarizing the stuff they showed, what I liked about it and what I didn’t like as much. Let’s go.

Game Releases: April 2023

Welcome to spring! Very magical month with lots of fantastic games coming out. April brings us anticipated games such as Dead Island 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Bramble: The Mountain King, Horizon Forbidden West – Burning Shores, Minecraft Legends, and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Full list below.

E3 Got Canceled

To the surprise of none, 2023’s Electronic Entertainment Expo won’t be taking place. Everything we heard in the last weeks was pointing to it, rumors were already floating around the media and now it’s official.

You can’t have a big video game event without big video game companies supporting it, that much seems pretty obvious but, how did this all came to be? What does it mean for the future of the event? What we know and what I think, below.

Game Releases: March 2023

Hello friends, hope you’re having a fantastic day whenever you read this. Here is the list of PlayStation video games for this month!

February 23rd’s State of Play

PlayStation announced a new State of Play event this week. The last one they held was in September (five full months ago) but, considering the always intense holiday season, the wait in between the events hasn’t felt that important.

It also helped that the last State of Play was probably the best they’ve ever had. I wouldn’t mind getting updates less often if when they happen they’re that significant.

However, today I’m here to talk about the stream that happened this Thursday. Like always, I’ll run down all of the games that were presented and give my own opinion on what they showed. No spoilers but… this wasn’t September’s State of Play.

Game Releases: February 2023

First of all, let me apologize for the super delayed post. I’ve been dealing with some issues with my computer for the last couple of days. But finally things are back to normal it seems. We’ve got lots of goodies this month, games like Deliver Us Mars, Wanted: Dead, Blood Bowl 3, Wild Hearts, Hogwarts Legacy, Like A Dragon: Ishin, Atomic Heart, Scars Above, Destiny 2: Lightfall, and Octopath Traveler 2, are the most popular games out of the many coming out this month. So for many, buying more than one game, it’s not an option. Also, PlayStation VR 2 is being released this month too, so that makes this month extra juicy. Here is the full list my friends.

The Perp Games VR Showcase

We don’t usually report on stream events from random companies. There are too many to keep up nowadays so here we focus mostly on Sony’s own State of Plays and only very major ones. The thing is, although many won’t be familiar with the name, Perp Games is quite a big deal on the Virtual Reality environment. I haven’t done the actual numbers but I’m confident to say than at least half of the tons of games I played on PSVR were published by them.

Later this very month, PlayStation will be getting their second Virtual Reality headset for their current console and Perp Games will be back supplying it a healthy amount of VR titles for it. In this article, I’ll be summing up the games that they showed in this week’s showcase and give my own two cents on what I think of them.

Game Releases: January 2023

Hey friends, hope you all are having a great new year. These are the games coming out for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this month!

The Real Winners at the Game Awards

Like every year at around these dates, the Game Awards happened. The so-called Oscars of the gaming medium for which I couldn’t really care less about. Not that I care about the real Oscars either but these awards are just a popularity contest and that’s just meaningless to me.

So, if I care so little about the awards, why am I writing about them yet again? Gaming news, of course!

The only reason to follow that stream is to see the latest trailers and game announcements. Some of them were really great and that’s what I consider to be the real winners of the game awards. The games that managed to hype us up and for which I’ll write about my impressions below.

Game Releases: December 2022

December brings us Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, The Callisto Protocol, Grime, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, Need For Speed Unbound, and a remastered The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt complete edition. Here is the full list:
