Last night’s Playstation State of Play broadcast showed a mix of upcoming third-party games and indie titles coming to the PlayStation 4 and 5. The broadcast lasted around 30 minutes and started with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.
For the PlayStation 5 version of Crash 4, it offers 4K 60FPS gameplay, faster loading times and reactive triggers on the new console. State of Play also showed a quick look at Returnal and explained more of the game mechanics which seem to lead to the idea that it’s a rogue-like game.
Knockout City, a battle royale dodgeball game, was shown in more details and a new martial arts game named SIFU by developed Sloclap was announced. State of Play showed another look at Solar Ash highlighting more of the gameplay.
Oddworld: Soulstorm, Deathloop and Kena: Bridge of Spirits returned to remind players of the games coming out this year. Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach was announced for PlayStation 4 and 5 this year and looks to be similar to Outlast.
The show with a look at Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade with includes improved graphics, faster loading times and an extra chapter featuring Yuffie. You can upgrade from the PlayStation 4 version for free but pay for the extra chapter.
Some fans were disappointed as many expected more information on Ratchet and Clank, Elden Rings and God of War. All the games are expected to be released in 2021.
