MGS made it a 6/7 Otherwise it would be a 4/5.

Some decent announcements and games that I will buy, but nothing big or enough for this kind of show after 2 years….
Marathon sounds interesting out of the new studios. Journey studio game gave me PS3 era vibes etc.
Indies look cool but where is Naughty Dog, Cory Balrog, Persona 6, Miyazaki, SuckerPunch? House Marque, Bluepoint? Bend? Castlevania?

And what games are 3rd party exclusives? Square gave us a Splatoon ripoff instead of Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest or another FF. Capcom with a Splatoon ripoff instead of there library of games.

I'm quite happy with this showcase though, My most anticipated game which is GBF: Relink has a release window, DD2 and Alan Wake 2 made an appearance in which both look good too.

Why do all these goofy ass fucking GaaS all have to have goofy ass fucking designs with their goofy ass fucking trailers. Get these gen z trend chasing wankers out of this fucking industry. Your games are fucking TRASH.
Can't overstated this enough

But dome users here called me crazy when I said all this Sony gaas will be garbage because they all are

If Xbox has some Bandai Namco, SEGA and Capcom games to show that don't suck too hard - as they usually do - they'll already have a better show than what Sony delivered today. If they show Persona 3 Remake, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 4 and another Capcom remake/sequel I'm happy. The show will still be far too long and have tons of games I will never care about, but at least it's something and Sony hasn't exactly raised the bar that high today...

Question s whats happening at ND? Loss of talent? Management isuess? Some journalist should investigate.

Is Factions in development hell? After years u cant manage to show anything at all? Really? And they have more project apparently.

Show was 4. Mediocre. Bunch of cgi. Live service galore that ll flop. No new ips, big aaa. Studios missing. Where re Silent hill and star blade? Release dates. DS2? Naughy dog? bunch of indies no1 cares about. Im getting sick of ff16.

Maybe ms should be allowed to buy ab. Everything i saw was sony who doesnt care at all.

Spider man and phantom blade were highlight 4 me. Hoping marathon amd concord ends up being good.

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.

I'm exactly where you are...

I held off on my indictment of the Jim and Hermen duo for a while to see what they could do but today confirmed to me that they have no clue about their audience, no idea what we want, they want to shove GAAS, cheap 3rd party games and streaming down our throat.

It honestly feels like XBox lite is their vision for PlayStation and I AM NOT down for that.

I think they need to go ASAP. It may be the beers making me say that but it feels right to get them out of leadership right now.
