Tides of Annihilation, one of many great new announcements |
Like many of you, I went into 2025's first State of Play with no expectations. After all, these presentations have sucked for at least this entire generation. Well, my disappointment was negligible and my day was made. I guess it's true that you're less likely to be disappointed if you lower your expectations. But is that really true? Did I enjoy the showcase so much simply because I wasn't expecting much? Looking at the actual contents of the presentation, I don't think so. This legitimately was the best one I've seen, outside of Nintendo, for many years. It comes down to three things: announcements, dates, and gameplay.
