Well that was shite, nothing from Sony's other big hitter studio's, a load of giant sword Snoozefest games and a Spiderman game that looked meh, if you told me that was running on a PS4 Pro I would've believed you, it was visually no different to the last ones.. standout for me was RE4 VR & the next game from Journey devs oh and Alan Wake2

There was some graphical techniques that was like OK seems next-gen. But most of it looked late gen PS4.

Because Sony doesn’t need to show any 2024 games without significant competition.
When you only show games you know about already, it’s going to be a crappy show

I was having Xbox vibes for sure.The amount of CGI shown, rivalling that of Xbox showcase from a couple of years ago

They believed the fake leaks, that's why. I expected much less than this, and extremely happy with what I saw so far. Not much gameplay for most games, but excited to see more in the future.

I'll give the show a C+
Favorite trailers/gameplay:
Helldivers 2
GhostRunner 2
Phantom Blade 0
Neva
Plucky Squire
Sword of the Sea
Towers of Aghasba
Alan Wake 2
Ultros
Dragon's Dogma 2
Spiderman 2
Cautiously Optimistic:
Assassin's Creed Mirage
Arizona Sunshine 2 (PSVR2)
Synapse (PSVR2)
Best News:
That Grandblue Relink RPG isn't dead and it's coming out this year!
Best Reveals:
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Bungie's Marathon
The rest didn't leave much of an impact or we've already seen enough of them(like tower of fantasy and FF16)
Complaints:
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection missing part 4(Why????)
Concord's trailer was pointless
The show's introductory/opener game was the exact same concept as that one Sega(?) GAAS game where you're robbing banks in neon gear and helmets. It needed explanation.
Sony still can't seem to nail the pacing of a great show. Thus, the show itself felt like it was moving too fast and you didn't have any moments to go further into gameplay or concepts. There were a lot of moments where I wanted a traditional showcase-style of a developer explaining their game's concept, because there were some games where I didn't even know what I was looking at, let alone what genre it would be(like Concord).

Yes it was a good show. But it was a terrible Playstation Showcase. Playstation has alot of big studios working on multiple projects for years, and none of them showed up.

Comeback ? A comeback from what ? Winning ? Because in the competitive landscape of gaming, that's what they've been doing with PS5?
The problem, it seems to me, are your expectations. I'm not saying this to be combative, just to stress that you seem to be placing way too much emphasis on this singular showcase, when its just the start of the season.
Look at how the content was selected; it was a mixture of short term stuff (FF XVI, Street Fighter), far-off announcement reveals (Marathon, Metal Gear). Some AAA stuff from EA and Ubi, some indies, etc. etc. The commonality was that it had to be flashy and "cool looking", for want of a better description it took a "shock and awe" approach. Which was why there was so many cinematics and so little gameplay.
Its weird, do you expect Sony to show big titles/franchises that have been previously revealed at every showcase? Because that's absolutely not been their MO for a long time now. They reveal, skip a few opportunities, then spotlight again closer to release. The absence of Rise of the Ronin, or Death Stranding 2, or Silent Hill doesn't mean they've been cancelled or delayed.
Xbox ain't saving nobody, we are all fucked

Listen dude,I like to rag on Phil Spencer as much as the next man.......but give the poor guy a fucking break,he's had a hard few weeks,he can't be expected to take the heat for this shitshow as well,lol.

It’s just reality.
Unless Sony has more competition, long gone are the days where The Last Guardian, FF7, Shenmue, etc get announced years in advance. Sony doesn’t need to hype anyone to sell consoles
I hate it, but this is what Jimbo is doing. We haven’t seen any Spider-Man gameplay until today and the game is basically finished

Weren't you around for PS3 and PS4? You can't objectively be disappointed in this ?
PS3 a year prior to this point in PS5 was objectively better. PS4 a year prior to this point in PS5 was objectively better.
What the hell did they open this show with? I could look it up but as it stands now I can't even remember the name of that generic bag of crap I saw that they allowed to open this thing. And why did they let square even show "foam party"? I'd be too embarassed.
How much cringe translated dialogue and generic rock/orchestra music can they jam into a state of play anyway? I feel like it gets worse every show.
I haven't been more bored by a Sony show in over a decade. That was terrible.

The lack of first party AAA Single Player games was worrying
I wonder what the hell is going on at Sony?
if it wasn't Spiderman 2 we would have nothing from them.
Too much CGI and title screens.

Yes.
I can understand it was not done by Kojima, but it takes talent to make it so generic. Tech looks great, tho.

Sorry we can't act like this is the case when they were happily dropping CG trailers with no dates anywhere

Only for GaaS titles they need to desperately hype since it’s a new market
They don’t need to hype the next Sucker Punch game years in advance…they already have that audience

Would have rated a D but considering this being their first showcase since forever and all they could muster was that pitiful eccuse of a showcase I simply have to give it an S.
They seem to be asleep at the wheel and in total cruise control mode. Worst thing is there is no one left to even challenge Sony and take their lunch as the green team is in even worse shape and stumbling around aimlessly after nearly ten years of stringing their fanbase along on empty promises.
So many thoughts going through my head on individual titles shown, the terrible pacing, and all the pre-show hype already deflated with the first trailer of Haven's game. If this shit is what lead Sony to making them first party I can hardly imagine in what shape Deviation's game must have been.
I wanted to give Sony the benefit of the doubt in regards to their GAAS push but all my worst fears seem to have come true.
Then finishing of with the totally mid showing of Spiderman which suddenly looks like the first part on PS4 Pro. Seriously some explosions during the boat scene have to be placeholders as the textures would even embarass some PS3 games. Really a stark contrast to the first teaser shown that suggested we would be getting a real next-gen experience.
And what is going on with lots of games having a neon color palette? I would have hoped that this trend had died with Xdefiant and Hyenas at the latest but seems to be back with a vengeance. Just a terrible artstyle and totally off-putting.
Maybe the Mayans were right and the world ended in 2012 and we are now just in the worst timeline constantly being served schlock labelled as great entertainment and the masses eating it up.

So from what I understood it looks like PS5 and PC is day 1 now? It seems like it for Helldivers 2 and some other games? Lol who was saying to me the other day that day 1 PS5 and PC will never happen?

I was liking the vibe then nothing happened
Why even drop a trailer like this for a new IP
It can be if it's the same show with no Phatom Blade or at least an desired 3rd Party trailer like DD2.

There was no way they are getting hype with these trailers for their gaas games. We know almost exactly as before except some artstyle and a name.

It totally is the truth. Which is why all the people actively rooting against MS is the dumbest crap ever. It's fun to blast MS over redfall and Phil's comments until the arrogant SONY announcement showcase. If you're a PS fan, you better hope that MS knocks it out of the park at their show so PS ups their game. I have no clue wtf I am looking forward to playing after Fall 2023 on PS5, and we literally just had the 2023 late/spring almost summer showcase for the first time in 2 years. How do we not know what first party we will be looking to playing after Spiderman at the mid 2023 showcase?

Where is:
Suckepunch
Naughty Dog
Santa Monica
BluePoint

Ok, sm2 will be great, but that looked just like the ps4 game!
I sold my PS5 last year and do not regret it!! It's proven to me to be a weak generation!
