Ghost 2!
Really happy with MH: Wilds date, sooner than expected
Stellar Blade X Nier DLC, I wanted something from Yoko Taro, did not expect this.
Horizon upgrade path and remastered by Nixxes & Astrobot content.
Not buckling under legal BS of Nintendo with Palworld
Great PS+ additions Dead Space & Dino Crisis!
Classic remasters of Lunar and Legacy of Rain
Metro & Agent 47 for VR2!
Hell is Us and that Clay game at the start looked interesting.

The first 3 things made it an 8 for me alone, might be inflated due to Ghost hype but for a SoP it was great for me.

Solid 7 for me. Loved Midnight Walk and was intrigued by Hell is Us. I am cautiously optimistic for Yokai - looks georgeous - but suspicious of where the story will go. Plus Pro patch for Steller Blade which I still have to get to.

Good for people who like the new ghost game but I am out, hope they find the sales with the way their budgets are.

Got a 7 from me, mostly on the back of GoT2. But are they really doing a female protagonist? So lame and very western of them.

BTW 2025 is already set…

GoY
Wolverine Venom
Death Stranding 2
Marathon
Knack 3
Fixed it for you. Add there Monster Hunter Wilds and (if they are in time) Pragmata and you have the GOTY candidates list.

I think this is the second SOP with a big first party reveal at the end.

I guess Showcases are done

I think there is zero chance we don't see Herman Hulst by the end of the year. Maybe he'll be at TGS, but for him to do nothing for the 30th anniversary of PS would be malpractice.

It was also interesting to see Until Dawn was a complete no-show despite coming out in less than a month. Sony is already boosting Silent Hill 2 way more than Until Dawn. Coupled with the layoffs, it doesn't look like Until Dawn is going to land, which makes its price point puzzling. Sixty dollars screams of confidence, but maybe they're looking to just milk as many people as they can.

With Ghost 2 revealed though and Death Stranding having a large expo at TGS, I'm not sure what else Sony could have up their sleeves for a showcase, but we still haven't heard from Naughty Dog, Bend, Bluepoint, or Media Molecule. Then there is also Venom, that must be coming out within the next year or so. We could also get teasers for Housemarque and some of these Horizon projects, as well as Fairgame$ if they don't end up delaying it. There's also Cory Barlog's game at Santa Monica.

It actually might have made sense to reveal Ghost 2 early and show it again at TGS in contrast to AC:S.

So Tsushima sequel is a girl protagonist? They just need to pussify everything. Who are the audience?

No issues on any protag type, but they already established a new ip - expectations set, and she will be the same guy just a sprite swap.

If Sony still would have their PS HQ in Japan, this Western society BS wouldn’t have reached their gaming space. See Nintendo perfectly fine with their conservative reign…
