How to watch

PlayStation 4 gamers, set your alarms to 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET on December 10. The State of Play will last for 20 minutes and will follow the formula of the first three episodes, which means it will be jampacked with content.

Similar to previous releases, gamers may watch the show through Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

What to expect

According to the official PlayStation Blog, December 10’s State of Play will feature “around 20 minutes of new game reveals, release date announcements, new gameplay footage, PlayStation Worldwide Studios updates, and more.” Gamers should not expect any updates on the PlayStation 5.

Sony remains tight-lipped about what will be included in the show. but shortly before announcing the episode date, the YouTube playlists of State of Play were updated, along with that of Sucker Punch’s epic-looking Ghost of Tsushima. Not much has been revealed about the samurai action game since it was first announced at E3 2018, so gamers are hoping for more information, and perhaps even a release date, at the upcoming State of Play.

Another game that may appear on State of Play is the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remake, which has essentially been confirmed based on images that were spotted on Sony’s servers. Following the massive success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, it is not a surprise that Capcom moved ahead with remaking the next game in the series, which features Jill Valentine as the protagonist.

The Resident Evil 3 remake will not appear at The Game Awards 2019.

The previous episode of State of Play, which aired in September, was highlighted by a trailer for the highly anticipated The Last of Us: Part II. The last State of Play for the year will likely look to make an even bigger splash, so PlayStation 4 gamers eager for fresh news should tune in to see what Sony has in store.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was never exactly going to be mistaken for a children's game, but a briefly published PEGI rating has apparently revealed just how far Rockstar is pushing the adult content this time around. The PEGI 18 rating appeared on the European ratings board's website before being removed, but not before its unusually detailed description was captured and reported by multiple outlets.

Apparently, GTA 6 has no plans to behave itself

Control Resonant Review: It trusts you, challenges you, and rarely wastes your time
Remedy takes Control into the open world without losing its identity.
Control Resonant Manhattan streets

Remedy Entertainment’s announcement of a sequel to its critically acclaimed 2019 hit Control was not a big surprise. The first game, which was initially dismissed by many, including me, as a showcase for Nvidia’s ray tracing tech, turned out to be a wonderful and complex mess that attracted a niche but dedicated audience. However, the gameplay reveal of their new title felt like a risky pivot away from what garnered its fandom.

I was not about to make the same mistake twice. I kept my presumed notions about modern open-world games being grindy task simulators aside and gave it a fair shot. After finishing the story and unlocking every achievement, I can say Control Resonant is the most complete game Remedy has made. It knows exactly what it wants to be, skips the filler, and lets the player figure things out on their own. It is not flawless, but whether you are a longtime fan or new to the Federal Bureau of Control, there is plenty here for you.
