PlayStation State of Play March 2022 live report Join us for all the fun and surprises from 10pm GMT tonight. Blog by Martin Robinson Editor-in-chief Published on 9 Mar 2022 81 comments Ape Escape returns! KojPro's Silent Hill and Bluepoint's MGS remake revealed! GRADIUS 6! None of this will happen at 10pm GMT tonight. Our live coverage of this event has finished. Coverage 20:29 pm UTC Oooh you're an eager bunch! (Hello!) – Martin Robinson 20:29 pm UTC weebleman: Lets get straight in with it Martin. How longs this on for 20 minutes I believe. Which is pleasingly short. – Martin Robinson 20:29 pm UTC Kami: Vagrant Story remaster. Yes I fully intend to WILL this thing into existence! Let's will it into existence together! – Martin Robinson 20:29 pm UTC This_way_out: Seeing that Gradius art got me excited until I came into the article and read the words... So cruel. I share your pain. And yet I did this to myself... – Martin Robinson 20:30 pm UTC I'm pootling around in my shed right now - I'll be back around 9.45 to kick this off in earnest. – Martin Robinson 20:30 pm UTC And I might have been *drinking* by that point, so who knows what'll happen. – Martin Robinson 21:37 pm UTC Kami: @Miyamotosan - Elden Ring. Controversial opinion; I love it, but I don't see this BOTW stuff people keep harping on about. if anything, kind of reminds me more of Skyrim. I totally agree, but because I'm an annoying sort I'm also going to say it reminds me a lot of Xenoblade - in a very good way! – Martin Robinson 21:38 pm UTC Who's to say it won't happen? – Martin Robinson 21:38 pm UTC (It won't happen.) – Martin Robinson 21:38 pm UTC Realistically, it's best to keep expectations in check. – Martin Robinson 21:39 pm UTC Sony's been doing these State of Plays a few weeks before its big launches recently - we got one before Horizon Forbidden West and one before Gran Turismo 7. – Martin Robinson 21:40 pm UTC In a few weeks we've the PlayStation 5 console exclusive Ghostwire Tokyo - so expect that to be a focus at some point. – Martin Robinson 21:41 pm UTC There'll be Resident Evil news, I'm sure - whether that's more for Village, or more likely a glimpse at the Resident Evil 4 remake. – Martin Robinson 21:42 pm UTC Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires came out recently as well and honestly I'd be well up for 18 of the 20 minutes being about that. – Martin Robinson 21:42 pm UTC If Capcom is there with Resident Evil news, I wonder if it'll show up with either Pragmata or - and this is unlikely - Street Fighter 6. – Martin Robinson 21:47 pm UTC Oh, and I forgot - Square Enix should be a presence too, given the emphasis on Japanese partners. – Martin Robinson 21:48 pm UTC Perhaps that's in the shape of the recently delayed Forspoken which could do with a decent showing, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 or - and this is a long shot but let's hope and pray - Final Fantasy 16. – Martin Robinson 21:49 pm UTC I haven't been this excited for a Final Fantasy since... Well, since 13 if I'm being honest. And that didn't turn out too great. – Martin Robinson 21:49 pm UTC Though I love Final Fantasy 13 really. – Martin Robinson 21:49 pm UTC Final Fantasy 16, though, looks outrageous. – Martin Robinson 21:50 pm UTC All the expertise and character of Final Fantasy 14 in something that might be a bit more approachable for people like me who are intimidated by MMOs. – Martin Robinson 21:51 pm UTC I shouldn't get carried away, given that's now likely a 2023 release and so unlikely to be seen for a while. – Martin Robinson 21:51 pm UTC Can't blame me for hoping tho. – Martin Robinson 21:52 pm UTC Kami: The only good bit about FF13 was Lightning and they STILL found a way to make me hate her in Lightning Returns. And the battle theme! Don't forget the battle theme! – Martin Robinson 21:53 pm UTC All this and I forgot about Sony's own Japanese studios. – Martin Robinson 21:54 pm UTC I'd be up for some details on what's next for Gran Turismo 7 - though the next big beat for that would most likely be alongside PSVR2, which won't be featuring tonight. – Martin Robinson 21:54 pm UTC What if we got wind of a new Astrobot though! – Martin Robinson 21:54 pm UTC And good lord Bloodborne news would be good. Why settle for a PS5 version - why not hope for a sequel! – Martin Robinson 21:55 pm UTC But also honestly a 60fps version of the PS4 original would be more than enough to make me happy. – Martin Robinson 21:55 pm UTC SeanBeansGravyBoat: Ridge Racer V 4K remaster or GTFO YES FARKIN PLZ. – Martin Robinson 21:59 pm UTC spamdangled: In a just world they would apologise for, and reverse, their totally unjustified game price increase to £70. It's bloody absurd, as is their claim that game prices haven't increased over the years when they demonstrably have, or that game publishers are suffering when they are making record profits. Would be a strong opener for sure. – Martin Robinson 22:00 pm UTC MrZappa: Anything from FROM! It almost seems too soon, and yet! – Martin Robinson 22:01 pm UTC Here we go! – Martin Robinson 22:01 pm UTC tomphillipsEG: KNACK 3 Don't. – Martin Robinson 22:01 pm UTC This looks like Pragmata to me. – Martin Robinson 22:02 pm UTC I'm probably wrong. – Martin Robinson 22:02 pm UTC Lovely robobutt there, whatever this is. – Martin Robinson 22:02 pm UTC Was Pragmata a new Dino Crisis all along? – Martin Robinson 22:03 pm UTC Good lord the RE Engine looks amazing. Imagine what Street Fighter is going to look like in this! – Martin Robinson 22:04 pm UTC Exoprimal! – Martin Robinson 22:05 pm UTC I guess that's what was Pragmata? And is a Dino Crisis thing? Lord knows. It might even be a new Lost Planet at the same time - it looked interesting all the same. – Martin Robinson 22:05 pm UTC Daigohji: Dino Crisis themed Anthem... Oh don't say Anthem. As soon as you did you totally killed the vibe! – Martin Robinson 22:05 pm UTC The more I see of Ghostwire Tokyo the more intrigued I am. – Martin Robinson 22:06 pm UTC For some reason every time I see it I can't stop thinking of Maken X. – Martin Robinson 22:06 pm UTC Anyway, Ghostwire Tokyo is out soon! – Martin Robinson 22:06 pm UTC Stranger of Paradise is also out soon! – Martin Robinson 22:07 pm UTC And there's another demo - they're certainly not shy showing this one off. – Martin Robinson 22:07 pm UTC Forspoken here, trying to prove it's not the mess it looked last time out. And doing a pretty good job of it to be fair. – Martin Robinson 22:08 pm UTC It looks more like Dragon's Dogma this time out anyway, which is good enough for me. – Martin Robinson 22:09 pm UTC YES! GUNDAM! – Martin Robinson 22:09 pm UTC Not that I know anything about Gundam. – Martin Robinson 22:09 pm UTC Like I didn't know there was a Gundam Overwatch. – Martin Robinson 22:09 pm UTC I kind of want to play it. – Martin Robinson 22:10 pm UTC I just know I really like big robots. – Martin Robinson 22:10 pm UTC And this 6v6 shooter Gundam Evolution has loads of big robots. – Martin Robinson 22:11 pm UTC A Konami Turtles collection, which I'm also up for. – Martin Robinson 22:11 pm UTC I'm loving this so much. – Martin Robinson 22:12 pm UTC More kaiju action in this fun arcade versus game! – Martin Robinson 22:12 pm UTC Hell yeah. – Martin Robinson 22:13 pm UTC And now... JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? – Martin Robinson 22:14 pm UTC JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Capcom doing mad stuff with dinosaurs! Offbeat supernatural first-person adventures se in Tokyo! I feel like I'm back in the mid-noughties and everything is just fine and dandy. – Martin Robinson 22:15 pm UTC This intriguing 2D samurai game - Trek to Yomi - has been shown before, and it continues to impress. – Martin Robinson 22:16 pm UTC Also, it's out this spring. – Martin Robinson 22:16 pm UTC Some more Returnal now? That's reason to be happy. – Martin Robinson 22:16 pm UTC Co-op! – Martin Robinson 22:17 pm UTC Yeah you're right. It's just that whole period was a bit of a blur for me so I get confused about it easily! – Martin Robinson 22:17 pm UTC Co-op and survival coming to Returnal in the free expansion Ascension this March. – Martin Robinson 22:18 pm UTC I deffo didn't spell that right. – Martin Robinson 22:18 pm UTC But shhhh this new Square Enix game looks like my shit. – Martin Robinson 22:18 pm UTC Indeed, and that excites me. – Martin Robinson 22:19 pm UTC It's basically Final Fantasy Tactics done in an XCOM style? – Martin Robinson 22:19 pm UTC Or to be more direct, it's a new Final Fantasy Tactics. – Martin Robinson 22:20 pm UTC Please let Matsuno be involved. – Martin Robinson 22:20 pm UTC DioField Chronicle, rather than a straight-up new FFT. But we know what it really is. – Martin Robinson 22:21 pm UTC And now - is this a new Infinite Undiscovery or Last Remnant? – Martin Robinson 22:21 pm UTC I think when I said mid-noughties vibes earlier this kind of thing and the dino robot game was what I was referring to. – Martin Robinson 22:21 pm UTC Valkyrie Elysium. – Martin Robinson 22:22 pm UTC Crazy and quite generic looking stuff with indecipherable names, basically. – Martin Robinson 22:22 pm UTC The kind of crap I go wild for. – Martin Robinson 22:22 pm UTC Well, I enjoyed that. – Martin Robinson 22:23 pm UTC Everyone else here at EG was essentially saying that was second-rate TGS scraps. – Martin Robinson 22:23 pm UTC Which, again, is the kind of crap I go wild for. – Martin Robinson 22:23 pm UTC I enjoyed myself - I hope you did too! – Martin Robinson 22:23 pm UTC Thanks for joining us - it's been lovely, as ever - and see you again soon! – Martin Robinson Comments Become a Eurogamer subscriber and get your first month for £1 Get your first month for £1 (normally £3.99) when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
