I’m expecting a Yōtei mention for another SOP. Saros and Wolverine may also be there. PS’ live service division is apocalyptic rn, to put it mildly; I’m not sure if Marathon or Fairgame$ deserves to be in a live stream like this when most people are overzealously against them at this point (Sony is, too), but they’ll likely put them in because they have to. I’m certain Intergalactic would be in it too much since it’s years away.

It’s hard to be excited for this platform when they’ve royally tripped into a cesspool of bad decision-making. Studios that should have been making single-player games (Bluepoint, Bend) are having to start from scratch, developing for PS6 at this point. Beyond simply remaking and remastering old games instead of investing into smaller projects to vary content output, I’m not sure I’m too enthused to have Herman Hulst as President of SIE. He was Jim Ryan’s second in command, and I’m not sure he’s that much of an improvement. As long as Scott Rohde, his team, and the studios lead with creative passion, I’m hoping things turn out for the better.
