SG EVENTO | STATE OF PLAY Mayo 2024

Episode notes

This special broadcasts and comments live on the May 2024 State of Play. At the beginning, the team reviews its expectations for a presentation announced as roughly 30 minutes long with 14 games, with interest in possible PSVR2 and Astro news. It then analyses Concord, a science-fiction multiplayer shooter focused on 5v5 teams, its characters, abilities, combat and simultaneous release on PC and console; it also discusses its beta, possible price and how it could stand out in a saturated market.

The broadcast moves through the announcements of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Infinity Nikki, Ballad of Antara, Alien: Rogue Incursion, Marvel Rivals, Phantom Blade, Until Dawn, Path of Exile 2, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Monster Hunter Wilds and Astro Bot. Mechanics, settings, virtual reality, accessibility and local co-op are discussed when they appear in the footage. Astro Bot stands out especially for its variety of worlds, bosses and use of the DualSense, while Silent Hill 2 Remake receives a more critical assessment for the impact of its presentation. The closing assessment calls the event uneven: Astro Bot and Concord are the standout announcements, and Phantom Blade is missed. The episode also previews the video game events planned for the following week.
