I think it's just speculation on the fact that it's only been three years since GoT launched and games take much longer to make. There's no way GoT2 (if real) is in any showable state considering it's two years away at best.
Maybe. I wouldn't consider it too impossible, considering they often announce games 2 years ahead without showing gameplay yet. I would only expect something like a logo/cinematic trailer, if anything, at this point.
Im hoping Sony is past that type of hyping of games. We need to get past the CGI or log announcements for a game that won't exist for three years.
Lately they've done that more alongside other trailers that actually have more gameplay for titles releasing much sooner, so I don't mind it. Sometimes that works (TotK) but sometimes it doesn't (Elder Scrolls 6). And usually it's only like 1-2 years away anyways.
Didn't they do exactly this with Spider Man 2 and Wolverine at the same exact show? Both of those games were nowhere near release when they announced them. And yes that was two years ago when Sony did these long term announcements with not much to show for games 2+ years away, it's also important to note that those games were announced at their LAST showcase. They've been silent in regards to new first party announcements ever since (they still have had State of Plays but not a "Showcase" which the community accepts as the larger more important ones).
I'm aware of the respective youtube metrics of both games. Has it occurred to you that Playstation and Square Enix don't think putting that SoP up at the same time as the Zelda trailer will have any effect on the sales of FFXVI? FFXVI has had a long, successful marketing campaign - the obsession from you of putting both games head to head and creasing FUD that doesn't need to exist is utterly bizarre. TOTK is a big success; FFXVI will also be a success.
Did you just ignore my point about Wolverine leaking? Their hand was forced.
Would be nice, along with an Infamous collection - tbh I'm not sure why Playstation doesn't auction these kind of remakes or remasters out to smaller third party studios, but it's not something they are interested besides a couple of exceptions (Wipeout and Medieval last gen). Seems like a no brainer honestly.Ratchet and Clank collection please. Why it gotta be stuck on PS3
I didn't know Wolverine leaked but I would like to know when it leaked and in what context. Did it leak because they had this CGI announcement trailer made and that's how people found out about it and they were going to announce it anyway? I doubt they put together a whole announcement trailer and revealed a game 3 years out just because of a leak.
IIRC someone at Insomniac bemoaned the leaks re: Wolverine (the female twitter leaker whose name I can't remember definitely leaked it prior to the announcement). But honestly I'm too drunk right now to go through twitter and find it. I have no issue with games like Spider-man 2 getting CGI trailers because, as I said, the gameplay won't be a huge change from the previous game.
Their three big game announcements from their last showcase were all CGI.
Not really, Ratchet and Clank is decent but I much preferred Spiderman. In saying that I'm not an OG Ratchet fan.
I mean I'm sure Ratchet is still going to remain in their rotation.
Insomniac aside there isn't much in terms of video games...?
I think you're jumping to conclusions here and might want to dial that back a bit. He was commenting on the fact that it felt like the TOTK trailer completely drowned out the FFXVI SoP and they shouldn't have put them on the same day, which is true. And more to that point, literally every single content creator and youtuber and twitter games press person and such that I can remember that day commented on that exact thing - it was a very widespread opinion. So it's not like he's inventing that out of nowhere.

this was more of a general statement than just video games tbh
Seems very unlikely, probably just a last-minute launch-type trailer for FF16. I would bet on seeing Rebirth later in the summer, like maybe TGS
I’d be kind of surprised to see Rebirth with 16 just around the corner, but I’m with you on it being probably early 2024. I think they originally said “this winter” so technically they can still be on track until late March, anyway
I'm leaning on these PlayStation Showcases tend to paint the picture for the next 2-3 years of PlayStation, but yeah if it's not there I wouldn't be surprised or too disappointed either.
