PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY DECEMBER EVENT LOOKING SLIM, JEFF GRUBB WARNS FANS TO LOWER EXPECTATIONS
Well folks, time to put those PlayStation showcase dreams back in the sock drawer - or at least adjust them from "HOLY SHIT" to "oh... neat." Industry insider Jeff Grubb just threw a bucket of lukewarm water on our collective excitement about the potential December State of Play, suggesting we shouldn't expect any major PS5 announcements.
PLAYSTATION SHOWCASE 2024: THE INDIE EDITION
For those keeping score at home, this is just the latest chapter in the "When Will PlayStation Finally Show Us Something Big?" saga. While a PlayStation State of Play might still happen in December, it's looking more like we'll get a lineup of indie games and maybe some vague "coming to PS5 in 2024" promises rather than the heavy-hitting PlayStation announcements we've been craving.
JEFF GRUBB'S REALITY CHECK
Grubb, known for having his finger on the gaming industry's pulse (and occasionally its jugular), dropped this reality check on Twitter about the rumored PlayStation event. The message between the lines? Sure, Sony might throw PS5 owners a bone in December, but don't expect it to be particularly meaty.
PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY: THE WAITING GAME
This tepid news about the December PlayStation showcase lands particularly hard given that PS5 fans have been running on fumes when it comes to major announcements lately. The last significant State of Play was back in May, and since then, we've been subsisting on a diet of "tune in later" and "more to come" breadcrumbs.
PLAYSTATION EVENT EXPECTATIONS: RECALIBRATED
Hey, at least we might get something for our PS5s, right? And who knows, maybe some of those indie games will be absolute bangers. Until then, we'll just have to keep our expectations lower than a limbo champion at the world finals. At least we have the Game Awards to look forward to, right? Right?
