PlayStation Fans Were Not Happy With Today’s State of Play

Earlier today, PlayStation streamed a new State of Play presentation, and fans were underwhelmed, to say the least. The 20-minute video mostly centered on smaller games coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, with the day’s biggest announcement being a new entry in Square Enix’s Star Ocean series.
