Well, Kena and R&C were still the highlight of the show for me. The console looks good. Shocked by the discless version.

I'm happy for the PS players. Personally, I'll be looking forward to Big Navi or Ampere later this year. Good times for all!
 
So... the future of gaming consists of dozens of cross gen games being shown. I was expecting a few more next-gen Sony games, from the few they showed I liked Ratchet and Clank, Horizon 2 and the Square Enix game. GT7 looked nice, but not next-gen nice. Seemed to me as if this is a PS4 game with cranked up settings.

Horizon 2 looked really impressive, though. Like really, really impressive.

Fantastic design. People can't even argue between this and Xbox Series X.

It looks gamery and terrible. Like the shit Alienware produces. The disc version looks even worse.

What bothers me most is that we apparently can't lay it down? People who were complaining about Series X size won't like this either.
 
Console design itself looks like a cheap knock off.

Other than that, I think it was a great show. They left the bullshit talking to an absolute minimum and let the games do the talking.

Take note Microsoft
 
All in all, I am disappointed.

Just 2-3 games that interested me, the design (without disc) looks good. That is it.

For Demon's Souls I hope Bluepoint doesn't change the gameplay, I like them but I have zero trust in them when it comes to designing combat.
 
Horizon and RE8 looked next gen imo.

Console looks nice.


Nothing else looked that mind blowing but im gonna play Spiderman 2, and SE game and Demon souls ofc..

Good show overall... Iam getting PS5 next year, not at launch and same goes for XSX..
 
Some interesting looking games. A lot more artsy games. Not a huge fan of the console design. But thats whatever. Nothing really stood out to me.
 
This did not even remotely match the hype there was around this event, hey didn't show off the SDD power at all and they didn't reveal price or release date at best a 5/10.

This was basically the MS Indie show with 2/3 big 1st party games.

Also the design looks more of a concept than an actual product, way too much design over function. IMO this doesn't bode well for Sony at all.
 
Well, none of the games shown really appeal to me, so the only way I'll be buying this at launch is if it is BC with at least PS1, PS2 and PS4. PS3 would be nice but I know the cell makes it difficult.
 
I think the console looks sexy as fuck! None of the games blew me away though. Will probably get the console down the line or at a discount. A digital only console tells me the PS5 will be pretty pricey!
 
Hitman
Deathloop
Ghostwire
Resident Evil 8
Demons Souls

Of the five games I wanna play, only 1 is not on PC. I'll pass on PS5 this year.
 
I guess I am not getting it at launch. It was an okay event, but nothing in the launch lineup screams, "buy a new console to play this game now".

For all the shit Microsoft took about not delivering "next gen" experiences, Sony didn't show anything that truly looked next gen.

I was underwhelmed tbh. Most of those were just not my kinda games, except GT7 which looked amazing and the new RE which looked... OKish? Edit; Demon's Souls looked great too,

Biggest let down was the console itself. What an ugly thing. Please tell me I can put it on it's side, not looking forward to having a tower console in my living room.

The devkit in all black would look better than the actual console. Not that a console's looks decide much but that thing is ugly. Would rather it be plain than noticeably ugly.

Fair enough. To each their own when it comes to game taste. Sony crushes it for me as someone who loves cinematic, narrative driven games more than anything else and also likes there "Nintendo-ish" stuff like Astrobot, Ratchet, LBP etc.

I'll probably just stuck with Nintendo and Sony going forward. PC exclusives mostly haven't been up my alley at all, a few indies aside and most eventually came to PC and I've never enjoyed that many Xbox first party games. I like the campaigns in Halo and Gears a lot, but haven't liked the recent ones as much as the 360 games. So that's probably not enough to upgrade my PC (it should run Halo Infinite fine anyway as it ran Gears 5 great and Halo is getting an X1 version so it should scale down well). They've bought a lot of studios so maybe they'll have more that interests me to justify a later in the generation purchase.

I guess it's just a difference of opinion. But most of the narrative driven games have been so-so in my opinion. Uncharted 4... eh... Days Gone... ehhh... Infamous: SS... ehhh.... Horizon.. good with an asterix... GoW... good, Spiderman... okay. There's so many of third person adventure games that feel overall stale and boring. Some are just disappointing, others are good, but rarely inspiring. Oversaturation has really hit it and while I like story-driven games, they overall feel like derivatives of established third party franchises and they're often not narratively interesting. Gameplay-wise they're a mixed bag as well, with some really good, others boringly set-up. Sony's strength has been the diversity of games, having a wide range of first party games in different genres, not their third person narrative games.
Again, that might be my taste. But "okay games" is not what sells me on a console. "Next-gen experience" is what sells me before that. Of course, with Demon's Souls (remake?) I'm almost definitely going to buy it. That's because that's one of the few games that have been Sony striking gold. Like they also did with a lot of other late gen games in the PS3 era, like TLoU.

Honestly, all other games in the show were "meh or okay", but nothing to sell me on the console itself. Hitman is great, but if it isn't exclusive, then it's not a part of the selling point for the console. I bought a PS3 at launch for the feature of backwards compatibility. That's because "the one game" is rare and if it's not there, "lots of exclusives that look just okay and not a big draw" doesn't do jack shit. None of these new games stand out in an interesting way, and lots of them are just multi-platform games, kinda making it hard to see if anything is actually PS5-only exclusive.
A game needs to draw you in to actually be worthy to buy a console for, imo. Like how the original Metal Gear Solid sold you instantly, even before the demo hit. You knew you wanted the game and it had nothing of similar caliber.

Microsoft has at least one "gotta buy" game for me and that would be Banjo-Threeie, if it gets made. Sony has at least 5, but they've only shown 1 of them (Demon's Souls), so that's a bit disappointing. If DS is just a remaster, then it's below Banjo-Threeie in my priority list. Still if the PS5 has better features, better noise reduction, etc. that's could potentially sway me in such matter.
 
WOW @ Horizon, holy shit that was in-game for sure. So happy about Demon's Souls! Little Devil Inside, Kena and Returnal made the show for me! Off to re-watch direct feeds
 
Keina, Ratchet and Clank, and Horizon 2 looked great. Everything else was meh. It's only better than the Xbox event because Sony showed first party games. Not sure what is launching with the PS5 but so far looking like a meh launch as to be expected at the start of every generation.
 
Crazy, did not expect a digital only version. Still with all the shit Xbox One SAD edition took, I expect a lot of hate for this one.

Show was 6 or 7 out of 10. Project Athia looked impressive,, Kena was cute and looked fun. DS, RE8, HFW(is it really HZD 2? ) looked decent, with RE8 the only game aside from Project Athia that looked next gen. Those facial animations were something else.
