So both Amanda Cerny and Kate Beckinsale on this train like when this generation hype train began?Vick, this for you.
PORN FOR YOUR EARS
I was extremely skeptical of Jim Ryan at the beginning of the PS5's life cycle, but I'm almost convinced that they couldn't have wished to get a better guy to head up this gen.I don't think it's any coincidence that Sony announced the Playstation Showcase for end of May, immediately after they have confirmation from the CMA and EU regarding the Activision/Microsoft deal. I really do think the primary reason we have not seen a showcase is due to this acquisition, as Sony did not want to weaken their position with a strong games showing for the future.
Now that the CMA has said that their concerns are unrelated to console competition, but ended up ruling in favor of blocking the deal for Cloud related reasons, and the EU has approved the deal despite having the same concerns as the CMA, Sony now knows the major regulatory impact direction and there's simply no need to withold their plans any longer. Them having a showcase won't weaken their position for the Activision/Microsoft deal in the future.
It's why I also think the claim that Jim Ryan is now focused on "Total Mindshare' and "Make a Statement and Make Noise" may have some truth as Jim has likely specifically withheld a significant portion of their long-term plans as a result of that merger.
Thanks brother, he did already.
Not sure why you guys are excited. I thought Sony just make boring story driven walking simulators?
the.....leg..end....of....dragoon...yeah. Legend of Dragoon confirmed!
How? The man didn't manage these studios, he didn't create them and they certaintly didn't magically start doing quality work the day he got his current position. The credits belong to the devs and especially their (project) management. Sony lives off of their first class studios. Without them, they'd be nothing. They're wise to keep nurturing them as best as they possibly can. Their future depends on these teams doing what they do best.If he nails this showcase and most of the actual games deliver, you'd have to admit the man is a business genius.

Exactly my feelings

What a shame
Need one of those tickets my good sirChoo Choo muthafuckas!
Didn't you say you wanted to be coming out the back of the house?You didn't put me on the train.
Oh man, I would love a new MotorStorm, specially if it goes like Pacific Rift.Well......I know I'll be disappointed with the show. I mean, I'm sure there won't be a new Motorstorm announcement. That would be about the only thing that would truly get me excited.
I am extremely excited - my one big worry is - what if they introduce MGS remake and it looks like shit? It would overshadow conversation in a way some new lackluster IP would not.
Actually for me the showcase would be a 10/10 if they only showed Dragons Dogma 2 that’s how much I love the first game it’s the best 3D RPG ever made the pawn system is absolutely incredible.Gameplay wise it stands over any other RPG nothing comes close.this is the only game I know where killing the same enemies for the 100 time is fun and satisfyingMetal Gear, Dragons Dogma 2, and a fresh new IP from Sony and I’m satisfied.
Are you coming out of the sheep's lit fart?You didn't put me on the train.

Hey,I hate to break it to you,but Evo studios have been dead and buried for a good long time now.I loved Motorstorm though,my favorite arcade racers ever.Well......I know I'll be disappointed with the show. I mean, I'm sure there won't be a new Motorstorm announcement. That would be about the only thing that would truly get me excited.
Just new ps5 games being announced in the show. I mean that's exciting right? New games to play. No? Okay
Sorry it was a low effort joke post that was attempting to dunk on people that always say Sony games are cinematic with no gameplay etc.That was an emotional speech, mate.
I am extremely excited - my one big worry is - what if they introduce MGS remake and it looks like shit? It would overshadow conversation in a way some new lackluster IP would not.
That enthusiasm is cataclysmic. No soggy Corn Flakes here though, roll on Wednesday!Not sure why you guys are excited. I thought Sony just make boring story driven walking simulators?
