State of Play May 2024 Predictions - What's Next for PS5? | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Bloody hell, it's finally happening. While it might not be a full-on PlayStation Showcase — as was rumoured — Sony is putting on a State of Play broadcast, which will be its first event since February. The 30-minute showing promises a look at 14 games, but what's actually in store for us starved PlayStation fans?

We've gathered the Push Square editorial team to share their (potentially completely stupid) predictions. Once you've had a read, feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments, and determine whether your expectations are beyond repair.

SUPERHOT VR is getting warmer. I’ve been hoping and praying for quite some time now that we’ll get a true PSVR2 port of SUPERHOT VR.

Not only would it receive a graphical sharpening thanks to the OLED panels, the PSVR2’s far superior tracking system would infinitely improve the gameplay flow.

Concord's calling. Concord has the potential to be a big multiplayer franchise for Sony, and I hope the inevitable State of Play gameplay reveal solidifies that theory. Helldivers 2 proved that a new kid could swagger onto the block like they’ve always been there, and it’s time for Sony to put its money where its mouth is with this first-party multiplayer game. We don’t know much outside of the colourful CG reveal trailer, but if Firewalk Studios can muster up that same level of grandiose and vibrancy, then I’ve got my fingers crossed for this State of Play reveal.

What's next, Naughty Dog? At this point I think we need to see something from Naughty Dog. So far this generation, Sony’s golden child studio has released nothing but remasters and
