  • Sony wheels out Ghost of Yotei just to tease a dedicated State of Play for it in July

    Sony wheels out Ghost of Yotei just to tease a dedicated State of Play for it in July


    When we first got confirmation of this week’s State of Play, Sony’s official description provided little to go on. PlayStation’s first-party output is quite slim this year, but some of us expected the company’s biggest game in 2025 – Ghost of Yotei – to make some sort of appearance.

    After all, for a game coming out this October, we’ve seen very little gameplay to get us excited about its big release this fall.

    The good news is that Ghost of Yotei, did, indeed show up during the State of Play showcase. It was so brief, however, you may have missed it. Developer Sucker Punch treated us to a small teaser that left everyone wanting more.

    And more certainly is on the way, because the point of that teaser was to announce a special State of Play presentation dedicated entirely to the Ghost of Tsushima sequel. Sadly, we’ll have to wait until sometime in July for that.

    The July showcase will offer an extended look at Yotei’s “evolved” gameplay mechanics, exploration, combat and more, according to the PlayStation Blog. Hopefully that episode is scheduled for early July, rather than later in the month.

    Watch on YouTube

    Ghost of Yotei arrives October 2 on PS5, and no doubt two or so years later on PC.

  • After many bet against it, a PS5 State of Play is coming tomorrow with over 40 minutes of game reveals

    After many bet against it, a PS5 State of Play is coming tomorrow with over 40 minutes of game reveals


    Sony has officially announced that it’s going to be hosting an event in June after all. It’s going to be of the State of Play variety, and it will be airing live tomorrow. Sony has, in recent years, made a habit of announcing those livestreams one or two days before the event’s scheduled date.

    This June’s State of Play is no different, and it looks like it won’t be heavy on first-party games.

    This week’s State of Play will be live tomorrow, June 4 at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, 10pm UK. In the announcement blog post, Sony said we can expect “news and updates” on games coming to PS5.

    “The show highlights a selection of great games from creators across the globe,” the blog post adds, which really doesn’t tell us much. It is clear, however, that this won’t be a first-party-focused show, though it is curious that Sony elected not to use the terms ‘first’ or ‘third-party’ in the announcement.

    In any case, this State of Play is going to a little beefy, clocking in at over 40-minutes-long. As always, you’ll be able to watch it live on PlayStation’s official Twitch, and YouTube channels.

    This week is going to be very busy with events and game reveals. Summer Game Fest’s live opening show is scheduled for Friday, June 6, and the first edition of IO Interactive’s IOI Showcase is taking place just a couple of hours later on the same day.

    Then, on Sunday, June 8, Xbox will take its turn to host its own showcase, which will be followed by a dedicated The Outer Worlds 2 direct, so it’s all popping off. EA and Ubisoft are seemingly going to sit this one out, but we wouldn’t bet against some of their rumoured and in-development games showing up at one (or more) of these shows.

  • Any Monopoly Simulators That Estimate Win Chances from a Game State?


    I wonder if there are simulators that estimate the win probability in Monopoly, based on a given game-state. A game-state include the entire situation: properties, monopolies, houses, hotels, cash and the location of each player.

    Example: I won a game after giving an opponent the green monopoly in exchange for the maroons. I won the game because I had $1200 cash (and quickly built three houses on each) while my opponent had only $200 cash. (Consider the remaining properties to be "evenly" distributed, including two railroads and one utility for each person.) I would guess that the outcome might very well have been different if my opponent had the $1200, and I the $200.

    Probabilities in Monopoly isn’t a simulator, but it is a calculator that calculates the theoretical value of properties given various states of building development. The main thing that is missing is the role of players’ cash positions in win chances, because more cash means that you can develop faster than your opponents.

    Is there a simulator that can estimate win chances given the game state?
