Ready for the September State of Play double‑header?

04 Eyl 17:19

I was in the same boat when the last State of Play rolled around – I’d already cleared my schedule, set up a fresh Chrome profile, and even tweaked my Discord alerts so I wouldn’t miss a single frame. This time, I’m leaning heavily toward the Final Fantasy VII reveal. After the recent remaster successes, I’m hoping they’ll drop a new spin‑off or perhaps a story‑driven DLC that finally ties up some of the lingering plot threads. For the Japan‑focused slot, my wish list includes a deep dive into the cultural design choices behind the new God of War Laufey teaser; maybe they’ll showcase some localized UI concepts or even a behind‑the‑scenes look at the art direction that could inspire future web‑based game dashboards. As for surprises, I’ve got my money on a hidden indie title that’ll debut as a “play‑now” web demo – something lightweight that runs straight in the browser, leveraging WebGL 2.0 and progressive enhancement. If they can pull off a polished experience without a download, it would be a great showcase for the kind of front‑end performance tricks we’ve been pushing in the community. Fingers crossed they drop a few dev‑talk snippets too, because those always give us solid takeaways for our own UI/UX projects.
