I'd go for D, but the audacity of Jim Ryan to open the show with his "third year into PS5, you're about to see truly beautiful games" make it an F for me. What a shitshow.

Alan Wake 2 and Phantom Blade saved it.
 
Pretty damn bad. Phantom Blade and Dragon's Dogma 2 look cool, but I can't remember anything else. Tons of weak GaaS aimed at tweens, VR trash, and they somehow managed to make me not care about the MGS3 remake lol

Overall showcase left a lot to be desired.

Spider-man looks awesome, but not the next-gen leap you would expect.

PS4 still restraining devs from fully tackle PS5.
 
God Spider Man 2 looks even more "AAA the game" than what I expected. Classic chase sequence where you do almost nothing, QTE, lame generic combat. Fuck, those games are not for me at all nowadays, I know some people will enjoy it, good for them.

That celebratory exit reel was killing me. It was like they were masturbating and cumming all over themselves, then licking it up.

A few interesting things here and there. Nothing fantastic.

Spider-Man looks good, that’s pretty much all I have to say about this showcase..

I think it was meh. Not the worst, there were several interesting games, but basically almost no first party and TOO MANY TEASER TRAILERS.

Seriously, I thought we were over that

I was too generous when I changed my estimate of prerendered shit to actually games from 70/30 to 60/40. Was actually more like an 80/20.

That was shockingly disappointing.

How the fuck did Sony fumble this so hard? Spiderman 2 gameplay was decent, but the visuals were nowhere near that announcement teaser

Oh it was. Thank god.

That said... I hate black suit powers in all the Spiderman games. Too... And he can fly now? Why traverse by swinging then?
It's gliding, not flying. You can get a few updrafts but you can't climb or sustain height indefinitely. You'd still need swinging for that...also you're not forced to use it.

Bad.

Voted D.

Sony not making sense to me right now.

No slim, but a shitty streaming tablet that’ll probably cost £300 and some earbuds that will also cost a bomb.

Spider-Man 2 looked rough in parts, Miles Morales still sounds like an annoying whiny cunt and to be honest. Didn’t look like a game I have to spend £70 on.


Highlights: Journey 2, Marathon and Dragon’s Dogma.

Solid C. Lots of cool games but the presentation was meh, a lot of cgi and stuff.

Also nothing on tlou factions.
