Quite possibly the worst event I've ever witnessed in my entire life. Sony E3 2006 was better than this.
 
Tons of CGI a Pokemon mini and a fucking podcast, it was that bad

Man, that was a lot worse than I expect for a Gamescom showcase, and I didn't even have any expectations going in. Wait....

Anything higher and honestly you gotta raise your standards.

All the talent in this industry and THIS is what they are working on?

How many fucking games are gonna use the same art style?

No games pushing the medium forward. Nothing graphically impressive going on 3 years into the gen. Even the current gen only games look like last gen games.

Every game trying to be funny and failing.

Few games I'm definitely playing for a nice change, way more than usual and I watched showcases in my life where there were zero. So OK for me despite tons of filler and all kinds of garbage.
I'd give it a 7 but dropping a point for Kojima piss take segment
 
0/10.
Worst one I've seen in a long time.

These events are always bad but there's usually at least 2-3 games that peak my interest, even if it's just smaller indie titles.
This time there was literally nothing, only some of the already announced stuff (Callisto and Lies of P) looked decent.

Where Winds Meet was one of the highlights for me.

Lies of P was good, and Phantom Hellcat has me interested.
 
A small handful of interesting-looking games, but a lot of absolute dreck.

Everywhere sounds like a shitty mess
Dune looking a 3rd person AAA action game and being revealed as a survival MMO is an all time high hype whiplash. never experienced anything like that.
Monkey island looks dire. the writing and VO was not funny or good, and the art style is bleak. no hope.
lots of stuff i just didnt really care about.

Lies of P looked cool. homeworld 3 I am in on. shipbreaker ps5 with the story mode i'm in day 1. Atlas fallen is on my radar.

6/10

I honestly think half the games shown today would probably run on a PS3.
 
I wasn't planning to watch it, but I needed something on in the background while grinding in a RPG. Easily the worst gaming show I've ever seen. Even the three games out of all they showed that excited me couldn't wash away the filth that was the rest of the show. I have to say it once again, we need someone else other than Geoff to make a live gaming show. Cause anyone else would've done a better job with what they had to show then he did tonight. Awful, purely awful.
 
The only showcase that stood out for me was Dune, I enjoyed Dune 2000 and I want to get into that world again, so I have been waiting for the right opportunity, since the rest of the showcase was mostly CG trailers I can't rate it more than 4.

Waste of time. Gamescom has never been the place for important announcements, but even so, this one was bad. This format of a 2 hour overdose of trailers or "world premieres" by Keighley is becoming really tiresome. I usually start watching 1 hour after it starts so I can just fast forward and save my time.

Everything was just generic.
Play with friends.... create with friends...
cartoony graphics... gaas, mmo...

The only maybe good games are Lies of P(hill) and Calisto.

I was hoping a bit for dead Island 2 but apparently Jim Sterling is the writer

edit: It's not about the attractiveness. I am probably much worse looking myself lol. It's about "the look" of the expected writer nowadays...

A generous 6, a handful off games I'm interested in, but it was a 2 hour show. :/

Games I'm interested in:
Darktide (good trailer)
Sonic Frontiers (good trailer)
Lies of P (good trailer)
Dead Island 2 (good trailer)
Hogwarts Legacy (bad trailer)
High on life (not the best trailer)
The lords of the fallen (great song choice, no gameplay)

& I've pretty much forgotten everything else shown tbh.
 
It's easy to understand why Sony don't want to associate themselves too much with shows like these.

It really feels like they are in a very tiny group that knows how to put on a show.
 
Hope the Thursday event will be better than the nothing that just happened. I almost though gamescom was sponsored by Youtube after todays tripe.

Well, expect for most State of Play events being garbage as well, but I guess even the average State of Play is still much better than this.

The PlayStation Showcases have all being pretty good so far tho.
