Phantom Blade Zero to headline a PlayStation State of Play next week

gamingAug 12, 202653305

Phantom Blade Zero is the focus after S-Game released an 11-minute gameplay trailer and Sony announced a dedicated State of Play next week, scheduled for August 17 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time, with pre-orders now live for the $60 PS5 release. Posts zero in on Donnie Yen being revealed as the motion-capture actor and creative consultant for the character Mó Yuan, and many users are poring over his face reveal and the choreography beats in the trailer. A brief appearance of a demo page has sparked speculation that a playable demo might be announced during the nearly 20-minute deep dive. The tag is trading lines from the trailer, including a memorable quip about “Yoshi the hell out of these horses,” alongside debate over quicktime-style sequences versus the trailer’s cinematic moments.

We haven’t forgotten. Let’s see who needs whom.

If there’s no physical disc release, it’s a pass

I will not be buying this or any other Sony products until you reverse your decision to stop supporting physical games.

We want physical games. We want true ownership of digital games. We want game preservation.

While you ignore the community's complaints, here is a reminder for anyone who may have missed it. Sony plans to stop selling physical games in 2028. That hurts consumer rights, game preservation, ownership, and gaming culture for more profit. Don't let them pretend nothing is happening.

Disc's💿💿💿 ONLY. We you guys stop making physical media. You guys will go out of business. No, one is gonna buy a PS6.

A demo would be a great idea to get me extra pumped. ...Or make me feel like it isn't my kind of game and look elsewhere, one of those two.

I look forward to buying this on a steep sale since they decided to use Denuvo on the PC.

Donnie Yen not just being involved with some of the choreography work in Phantom Blade Zero, but also playing one of the characters, thus giving all of us finally a realistic chance to best him in a fight. Love it! :D
