Sony formally launched the primary shot on the crowded summer season gaming occasion when it introduced the sport’s Could state on Could twenty ninth and launched it reside on Could thirtieth. State of Play was a reasonably low-key occasion – it wasn’t a full-blown canine and pony present, nevertheless it additionally gave us the primary main video games of the summer season. Which means the summer season recreation present season has begun, and we’re unlikely to catch our breath till round June tenth.
A lot of the occasion was fairly easy (though I observed that despite the fact that they introduced it was for late 2024 video games, there have been plenty of 2025 video games within the combine), with the most important reveal being Firewalk’s Harmony, a gaming Monster Hunter Wilds trailer and new Astro Bot. Proper after that occasion, we obtained Silent Hill Transmission, the place we noticed about quarter-hour of contemporary Silent Hill 2 Remake footage. The brand new model of the sport has a extra “trendy” look (by which I imply it appears like Resident Evil 4), however I am not mad about it – the artwork design nonetheless appears very Silent Hill.
As for what we are able to count on later subsequent week, when … let’s be good and name it “enjoyable” continues: we’re positively getting a brand new Black Ops, to not point out extra data on new Murderer’s Creed video games. I can consider any variety of E3s that this makes me nostalgic for. I am additionally together with Indiana Jones and the Nice Wheel and presumably the brand new Bioshock recreation as probably candidates, together with a few of these Xbox video games we’ve not heard about shortly ( you, Good Darkish and Fable titles). As for what I am personally hoping to see, put Dragon Age: Dreadwolf on the checklist — which could not really be such a useless hope this yr.
In private information, I am at DreamHack Dallas this weekend, the place I will hopefully be watching some execs play video games higher than I ever have. I am additionally prone to strive Senua’s Saga and XDefiant when I’ve time, and a part of me is determined to make room for The Rogue Prince of Persia (although admittedly, if I really want my Prince repair, The Misplaced Crown remains to be there ).
