PlayStation Showcase Aftermath - Rate the show

[Gods&Monsters]

Most of it was 3rd-party stuff. I guess for marketing agreements.

They kept everything hidden besides Haven game and Spider-Man.

The Splatoon game from Square looks fun. Dragon Dogma 2, Re4 PSVR, Alan Wake 2. All great.

 

[FatKaz]

I can't believe they thought this would be ok for their biggest showcase in 2 years.

I'd give it a 6, there was still stuff i was interested in.

 

[gokuss4]

Worst showcase in playstation history
Jimbo what are you doing seriously
We waited 2 years for this indie show

 

[anonpuffs]

It was really bad. Also spider-man 2 doesn't look next gen wtf?

 

[KnittedKnight]

Solid 4 for variety mostly. Spiky hair/Japanese games crowd got served decent I guess. Outside of that: Multiplat galore. Gen Z GAAS bait overload.

Game of the Show: The Phantom Blade 0
Runner up: Spider-man 2
Runner up 2: Dragon's Dogma 2

Special Mention: The Plucky Squire
Special Mention: Helldivers 2
Special Mention: FoamStars

As for the rest; three words only: FUCK JIM RYAN!!!

As a fanbase we've been uneasy about this motherfucker for a couple years now. Our fears have materialized. The Activision deal block literally saved this clown's ass.

The worst Sony show ever. I don’t know what happened to Sony but they are fucking loosing it lately.

Spider-Man looks like a PS4 game.

Yeah, something's up with that game. I don;t know if it's the art direction or what but it looks really strange.

That was... disappointing. Hyped for MGS3 and Spidey 2. The Plucky Squire, Granblue Fantasy ReLink, Tower of Fantasy (if it's a SP game and not MP) and AC Mirage look like day 1 purchases to me, but the most of the stuff was just meh. The Q-Lite looks absolutely terrible, we really didn't need these long trailers for FFXVI and Street Fighter 6 and where were all the first party games? Were the 4 shooters really all they could show for PSVR2? Man, for all the hype, I'm left feeling a bit empty... I gave it a 4/10. For making us wait almost 2 years for another huge showcase, this was a whole lot of "been there, done that".

tower of fantasy is a genshin like game that is already out on mobile and pc currently

 

[Box]

It could have been a lot better, where was Stellar Blades

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

When did Insomniac become the only PS Studio? Did they sack everyone else? Where the actual fuck was Factions?

 

[Nym]

Just scrolled through the IGN liveblog to see what was shown and it all looks pretty boring to me. I knew I would play Spider-man 2 already, wanted to see Wolverine. Wanted Bloodborne 2.

GAAS and PC, that's where it's. After TLOU PC they can't fuck it up on PC. Unnecessary development burden that they will carry for the sake of greed.

 

[Hezekiah]

They clearly focused on stuff that's coming soon.

Was hoping to see Wolverine (I guess that was unlikely), Stellar Blade, Lost Souls Aside, and of course Factions

Really expected Rise of the Ronin, that's been in development for ages.

5/10 for me.

 

[nongkris]

I'll be 30 by the time first and third party stop releasing cross gen games that look like shit.

ND is 3 years late to showing the multiplayer portion of a game that came out in 2020. I'm so disappointed in everything, no point in owning a ps5 if all we have is fucking spiderman 2 to look forward to.

 

[avenovah]

I can see why there have been no leaks other than MGS 3 lol

 

[PropellerEar]

Too little gameplay!
Spider-man2 didn't look so hot in few places....

 

[Killer_Sakoman]

I was willing to be open minded with the GAAS direction but they totally lost me

Hermen needs to go.

Lol what were you expecting with GaaS? An epic gem?

 

[Hezekiah]

Also too much CGI. Like that Haven game, I have no idea what type of game it's supposed to be. Same with The Talos Principle - never played the original and I don't know what it is.

 

[Swift_Star]

5. It’s was meh.

 

[Killer_Sakoman]

Honestly, I gave it a 4....

The amount of indies that I dont care about, the big new announcements with CGI and a titles.... barely anything for me except for Spider-man.

Are we getting any 1st party games anymore? Single player narrative games? Where are they?

Indies were the least worst thing about this show
