2 years for this crap to be dumped on our laps...

 

[farmerboy]

I don't know guys, I really liked it.

Starship Troopers game
Samurai game
Alan Wake 2
Dragon's Dogma 2
Granblue Fantasy
Final Fantasy XVI
Spiderman 2
Metal Gear is back

All of those look great.

Exactly. A lot of negative knee-jerk reactions.

 

[Wastelander92]

What the hell was that!?

 

[Putonahappyface]

All I've is the MGS collection to look forward to out of that lot. Thank the lord I've never played MGS2 or MGS3.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

I think PS only wants to show whats closer to get a release in the next 12 months.

I'm hoping. Tired of seeing teasers and endless marketing for a year and a half before a game comes out. Like 6 months is plenty of time to maximize preorders and hype

 

[Adam_802]

lol if that were a MS conference......

 

[Dafegamer]

That was like 90% Third Party Games. Sony what are you doing? This is all we get after years of underwhelming showings????

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Phil going to be sleeping well tonight

 

[SeraphJan]

I'm totally fine with the show, I guess people who are disappointed are those who care more about first party game.

MGS3 Remake, Dragon Dogma 2, RE4VR2, Alan Wake 2, FF16, Phantom Blade, New AC, Arizona Sunshine 2, and Lastly Spiderman seems good enough

There are also some other third party games looks pretty interesting too, like that Kena clone

 

[Sleepwalker]

NGL I hope Starfield comes out impressive because Sony has nothing. I'm not feeling spiderman 2 at all, already cringing at the thought of having Morales' annoying fat friend on comms during missions, nevermind the fact that miles is already annoying.

Im interested in

MGS3 + collection: day 1
Alan Wick 2
AC Mirage
Helldivers 2
Dragons Dogma 2
Arizona Sunshine 2
Re 4 VR

Sony's got nothing. This time last gen we had more games it feels like.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

The amount of CGI shown, rivalling that of Xbox showcase from a couple of years ago

 

[JusticeForAll]

Do all of the games in this showcase release in 2023?

Anyway, thank God for Dragons Dogma 2 and Alan Wake 2. Excited for those games. Spiderman 2 looked rough, admittedly only 1080p on my 65 inch OLED.

Apart from that, I'm disappointed. It's like they said "haha, we don't even have to try to beat Microsoft!" and then proceeded not to try.

I mean, what was that stupid cat pirate game even? Purrates of the Purribean?

 

[Snake29]

Some cool PSVR2 titles. Can’t wait to buy it for my birthday in september.

 

[Insane Metal]

That was really really bad all in all.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

D- ... Don't forget to give them a red thumb...

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

D due to Capcom and Konami, everything else is an absolute embarrassment.

 

[Fake]

I voted like three times wtf.

S of shit.

 

[Lokaum D+]

for a Sony standards this is a S for Shit, aside from spider-man ( at that point all my hype was killled )sony didnt show none of their bigs first party

 

[clarky]

To be honest if Sony doesn't have the goods anymore then Nintendo is in a position to absolutely dominate the industry with Switch 2.

Absolutely. Gameplay is king and they have set the bar over and over. Regarding TOTK the sense of wonder, exploration and making the user feel like the centre of things is unmatched.

Absolutely underwhelmed tonight, and this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly enjoy Sony's 1st party titles but never the less looks forward to good videogames. The only thing that Sony had tonight was better third party support, which is a given with their 70% market share.

Seems like they have shot their load so to speak early on in the gen and now find themselves in the same spot as xbox a couple of years ago. High end Games are taking 4-8 years to release now so, what one a generation at best? The next Horizon is 5 years away and likely a cross gen title, the next ND game longer. Thats why the pivot to GAAS. The current GT wont last beyond this gen and Poly are notorious for taking there time..............

Platforms are dead within this gen or next imo, its not sustainable

 

[sachos]

Expected waaay more first party stuff. Kinda disappointed really. Metal Gear Collection looks good! Spidy moving so fast through the map shows the SSD power. Right now sitting around 6.5/10 for me.

 

[ByWatterson]

It's weird.

As a show on its own, it was good, maybe great.

For as little as we know about first party for 2024, it was awful.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

5/10 show. Super disappointing…so what first-party showed up in total? Just Marathon cgi trailer and Spider-Man 2? I’m playing Spider-Man remastered at the moment and granted I was watching the show in 1080p, but to me Spider-Man 2 looks barely better than the first one. Traversal through the city looks faster, I guess that’s a plus.

It’s hard to believe none of the other first-party studios had something to show yet. I can’t believe Naughty Dog is still not ready to show Factions. It’s certainly not coming out this year I’d imagine.

There were some good announcements like Dragon’s Dogma II and Alan Wake II, but the whole show was carried by third-parties. PlayStation studios were pretty much nonexistent.

 

[mckmas8808]

I honestly cant believe what im watching. This is worst than anything Philbo has ever given us. If this is the future of playstation then i want nothing to do with it. If this is the future of gaming then im clearly not the target demographic.

They said millenials spend more time and money on video games than gen z and gen x. And yet this trash is clearly not aimed at me. This is all indie trash or fornite nonsense. WTF. One game after another.

Now a minecraft game. Im done.

I'm legit getting scared for the video game industry. They have lost their damn minds! I think they hate us.

 

[Jigsaah]

That handheld looks pretty cool. I like that the controller actually mimics a dualsense.

 

[FunkMiller]

Phil going to be sleeping well tonight

Fuck Phil… Nintendo are the ones in the best position moving forward, if they announce Switch 2 for next year, with a few new exclusives.

 

[KXVXII9X]

As I expected, I was afraid this showcase was being overhyped through the roof and everyone else fell for it. Why do you people even trust insiders?

This was the worst PlayStation showing I remember. It just confirmed my doubts about Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst. Ever since Japan Studios went under, I was afraid of a decline. Zelda TotK is released on a 2017 mobile handheld and is running circles around these games. I'm embarrassed for the industry. Even games like DecaPolice, I'm more excited for than most what was shown here. The desperate copy of Splatoon says it all.

This is definitely a first world problem, but I am also depressed about how creatively bankrupt gaming has become. I'm going full Slimysnake!

 

[Portugeezer]

Wasted 1:15 hours of my life for a couple of good trailers.

Despite the overhyping, it was a boring show for 90%.

 

[SlimySnake]

God bless to whichever mod allowed S for Shit as a Poll Response. I legit thought about it in my poll thread but i didnt want to risk a ban. Glad to see even mods realize how awful this was. I feel at home on this board.

 

[Danjin44]

These are the games I personally care about in the show.

 

[cormack12]

I'm totally fine with the show, I guess people who are disappointed are those who care more about first party game.

MGS3 Remake, Dragon Dogma 2, RE4VR2, Alan Wake 2, FF16, Phantom Blade, and Lastly Spiderman seems good enough

There are some other third party looks pretty interesting too

Same. I think if you wanted a Sony 1st party project showcase I can see why people are disappointed. But if you wanted a game showcase hosted by Sony then I'd say the eating was good.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Cool Sony, you have now become Microsoft. Congrats.

 

[ungalo]

D because there was some interesting games but they were third party.

From a Sony's perspective it's a disaster and i'm reconsidering buying the console for now.

 

[Skull-Knight]

Wow good shit show

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

All in all decent show it gets a C from me.

Hell Divers II: looked good and gave me a starship troopers vibe.
Phantom Blade 0: Combat looked fun like Sekiro
Alan Wake 2: not sure about this one
Dragon's Dogma 2: Best reveal to me looked awesome
Final Fantasy XVI: Looks better every time they show it loved the dark tone of the trailer
Spiderman 2: Will watch a 4k trailer before saying anything
Snake Eater: where's the gameplay?

 

[nial]

As a WWS/PSS fan, I feel like dying.

Expect a glimpse at several new creations from PlayStation Studios

YOU ONLY SHOWED FOUR OF THEM.

 

[Midn1ght]

I mean, are they keeping things under the hood for Geoff Keighley?

Do they really have nothing else to show from first party studios at this point?

Weird.

 

[Aenima]

C just because Dragon Dogma 2 and a good amount of 3rd party games im looking forward. But the major Sony Studios like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Sucker Punch and many others being a no show, made this showcase pretty disappointing. Also too many "Not actual Gameplay" trailers.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Didn't watch coz of Zelda and I see a lot of disappointment...

 

[SeraphJan]

Same. I think if you wanted a Sony 1st party project showcase I can see why people are disappointed. But if you wanted a game showcase hosted by Sony then I'd say the eating was good.

Yup, I don't really care if its first party or not, as long as the game look interesting, I'm sold

 

[Wunray]

I gave it a c, it was alright but we only get like one of these a year, they needed to bring the heat but instead all we got was smoldering ashe.
Highlights:
That samurai game
That squire game
And Spiderman
Also.Dragons dogma 2

 

[bender]

Interested in:

Dragon's Dogma II
Alan Wake 2
Street Fighter VI
Final Fantasy XVI
Spider Man
Teardown
Talos Principle 2
Tower of Fantasy
MGS3
MGS Collection
Marathon
Sword of Sea
Phantom Blade

Seemed like a solid show to me.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Anything bloodborne or Fromsoft would have made it an A+. I wasn't expecting to be so bummed

 

[TheDreadLord]

2 years waiting for this

 

[nbkicker]

And at sony usa headquaters there will be a whole diverse staff all whooping and high fiving each other saying what a great show they just put out

 

[SnipeyMcGee]

Really, really boring. So many bland games.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

My thoughts:

- Forget the name, lulz, but that samurai gritty looking animu x Ghost of Sekiro Gaiden shit was probably trailer of the show for me. Sick looking shit.

- Final Fantasy XVI looks good. Which we already knew.

- Assassin's Creed: Mirage looks like an AC game, and the gameplay seems...like an AC game. It also seems boring as shit, which is why the story hasn't been focused on in any of these trailers beyond VAGUE CRYPTIC DESTINY AND SHADOWS nonsense from the Quarian chick.

- Snake Eater! The one big known-quantity announcement of the show! ...that got leaked three separate times just to really hammer home the fact that "Yes, THIS rumor is actually true!" So exciting. Beyond that, I have no faith in MGS without Kojima, and a CG trailer with no dialogue and no new music and a COMING TO PLAYSTATION 5 is just....ehhhhh??? Also, closing the trailer on Big Boss, who stares at the camera silently for an awkward amount of time....just tells me that they should have saved this one until they got their VA to let out a "Kept you waiting, huh?"

- Multiplayer, indie and VR stuff out the ass. If you're into that, cool. I'm uh....not So much.

Weak sauce Sony

Calling up Kretos as we speak

 

[CortexVortex]

Even though it was lacking first party games it was solid in my opinion.
Lots of cool games like Neva, Tower of Aghasta, Alan Wake or phantom blade were shown.
FFXVI is one of my most wanted games of the year but I could have done without yet another trailer.
No MGS3 gameplay was disappointing. Spidey looks great but that’s not much of a surprise.

 

[Jigsaah]

Maybe there will be a December...State of Play for the big 1st party studios?

Man I hate State of Play but I'll take it

 

[Caio]

I loved Spiderman 2, very happy with it.

 

[Interfectum]

Is Tina Turner to blame for this??
