State of Play Megathread | Feb 12 SoP Announced

[Mr EliteL]

10PM for my time tomorrow, there's a possibility I'll watch it live as it's not starting at 11PM, but if it becomes too boring to watch I may just go to bed early as I need to be up for Friday morning.

There's currently nothing on my radar for PS5, unless there's something I'm forgetting. Code Vein 2's out which I don't have and not expecting any DLC for that here.

[Dragon Lord]

Even though I'm 100% expecting nothing but pure disappointment from this State of Play, I do enjoy going into them with lethal doses of copium in my system just for the fun of it, so here's my super aggressive copium list for reveals tomorrow:

-Bloodborne Remaster/Remake (PS5/PC)
-Bravely Default Remaster PS5 Port
-Lies of P 2 Reveal
-Stellar Blade 2 Reveal
-Legend of Dragoon Remake
-Chrono Trigger Remake or a third game in the series finally
-Final Fantasy IX Remake
-Dark Souls Remake (in the style of Elden Ring)
-Dark Souls 3 Remaster

[Dragon Lord]

Lots of time wasted on games we've already seen a lot about, as per the usual with these SoPs. I'm surprised they didn't spend more time on Marathon tbh, though even a few seconds is too much with how much we've already had to see if it. I really wish these things were used purely for new game announcements and nothing else.

I did forget about Beast of Reincarnation though. Still looking really interesting. No wonder the Pokemon games have been such slop lately, Gamefreak spending their funds on good looking shit like this.

Good opening with the announcement of a new Kena game. I still haven't played Bridge of Spirits, but I've heard nothing but really good things about it and the second one is looking pretty good. Might have to finally play it. The only thing that has really turned me off of it is that I've seen some people say it's "Pikmin-like", and Pikmin has always looked dreadfully boring to me, so that's the only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on playing it yet.

Seeing Konami reveal a new anime-styled JRPG was definitely unexpected. I thought they forgot they used to make JRPGs once upon a time. Figured the Soukiden remasters were the best thing we were going to get out of them in terms of JRPGs any time soon. Excited for it though, right up my alley. Probably the best reveal of the SoP for me personally.

Brigandine Abyss is a game I'll keep an eye on. I haven't played any of the other games in the series, though I do think I have one that was released on Switch. But of course any game with an anime aesthetic is something that will be on my list by default.

Mina the Hollower is of course on my list because creators of Shovel Knight (which was a top tier game for anyone who still hasn't played it by now) + heavy LoZ: Oracle of Ages/Seasons inspirations = a must play. Though I can't really consider it a good part of this SoP because once again we've already known about this game.

I like Castlevania, but man something looks really off with that game. It's like they tried super hard to copy Bloodstained's art style, but did the "you can copy my homework, but change it just enough not to be obvious" thing and it ended up looking like a cheap mobile game instead. I might still give it a try, depending on how much they want for it. $20-$30 I'll try it probably, anything more than that and it's on the "wait until a significant sale" list.

So other than a few crumbs here and there, yet another extremely disappointing State of Play. At least those few crumbs look to be really good (Kena and Rev. Noir).
