They held back, don't know why they don't' just blow their load all over gamers faces.
Stupid that they missed E3 to do this smaller show
They still have a lot of content , maybe eoty show? I know they have a lot more shit , could just not be ready

Or maybe Sony just doesn’t care, they do come across as arrogant. If you skip E3 , gamescom, and other shows I expect megatons

its better showcase due its using hardware as part of trailer to show its gameplay this is good presentation than trailers that just showy and lack of engaging elements to watchers..yup its a good tease but no content on it (this is why i am bored watching xbox conference
....where is the DAMNED GAMEPLAY!!!)

I'm surprised folks are interested in Forspoken. I mean, the gameplay looked pretty cool, but the character's dialogue was incredibly off putting. If you have to hear that personality constantly rambling.... oof.
IDK I kinda found the main chara and theme quite fresh. I like that she used some swearing as well.

How do I know you didn't get that online listen "mate" I was trolling you because, in reality, I don't give a fuck about you or what you play on. A salty fanboy is a salty fanboy

You weren’t trolling anyone lad you were crying because you thought I was fanboying, when in reality I’ve been playing both consoles daily for 6 months, I don’t have a horse in the race I was just stating a fact

Also maybe I got this online too?

Logan and Punisher are literally 2 Marvel IPs that I'd love to see done really well this gen and looks like one of them is on the way. Great news. I hope it's current-gen only and will give the tone of this character justice, pretty confident combat will be amazing.

Thought it was a pretty bad show considering the radio silence by Sony for over a year.

GT7 I’m kinda of excited for but cross gen mutes that a little.
KOTOR Remake was cool.
Wolverine I might be interested in as long as it’s not a open world copy and paste fest like Insomniacs Spider-Man games. Plus it’s at least 2-3 years away so no point getting hyped.

Beyond that it’s really hard to be excited for what Sony has coming up in terms of 1st party games in the near future.

They either need to start spreading out “big” announcements through the year more frequently or if they insist on showing nothing year to year then their next show needs to be faaar better than this or I genuinely start worrying about them this gen.

How big is Insomniac? They're putting in work. That, or we're not going to see Wolverine until 2025 after Spider-Man 2.

I'm excited about Wolverine though. I hope they go all out like Raven did with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I quite enjoyed that game despite some shortcomings.

Copium doesn't work for me SonyBros, I could have stayed with PS4 for at least 3 years more if that's what Sony has to show.

Disappointed really, but Xbox is at even worse position, I guess COVID really f*cked gaming.

I dont get this, GOW Rag, Spiderman 2, Wolverine, KOTOR Remake on PS5 and PC only, GT7......how can you worry, you've GOT to be kidding me.

GOW2 barely looks better than 1. WTF is this? Guess my ps4 pro is gonna get a lot more mileage than I expected. And what's with the marvel cringey dialogue in Forspoken? I thought that was a serious game with a serious story.

Someone said the Developers are Japanese, which is true.

But according to Wiki, this is who is writing the game:
The game's lead writer is Gary Whitta, previously the co-writer of Rogue One.[1]
So that's why the character writing and dialogue is insufferable...

No huge megaton games for me, but that’s the first conference I’ve watched from start to finish in a decade probably. Guess they did something right.

There aren't any GOATs to rim right now so I guess not ;)

Yep. That was fucking bollocks, troops.

NOTHING LOOKS NEXT GEN.
Because people consider now the 60fps as next gen. If they put more resolution and double the framerate from PS4Pro, they've eaten half the extra power of PS5.

It's like Ratchet, it only looks next gen in 30fps mode. 60fps are awesome but a burden for improved visuals in consoles. I hate the quality/performance choice in this generation.

Time to watch the 4k uploads now.

GT7 - Still not blown away, but it's GT...it'll be tits.
UC:R - It's certainly not next-gen, but I need to play those games I missed.
GTA5 - *sigh* I bought the game twice, and never got around to beating it. I'll probably but it a third time. *sigh*
Forspoken - The environments and skill effects look really good. Day 1.
Alan Wake - Oof! The visuals need more than a remaster. They need a remake. This hasn't aged well, but i heard it's a good game.
Project Eve - Pair this with a better lighting model, and it would look amazing.
Ghostwire - Looks better than the reveal, but that's not saying much.
GOW - Okay, that looks fucking amazing.

The stream wasn't bad today, I must say. Quality was solid, but there was still a lot of detail lost compared to the 4k trailers.

Sony really put these Japanese games out there. Project Eve is made for those dweebs that cant shut up about girls in tights. Nier fucks should get it up. GhostWire doesnt look bad though. Sony should ask Microsoft for a refund, Deathloop, feels like a bore loop everytime I see it. I dont think I can get excited about third party games. Cause none of them did anything for me. And they all looked technically sound.

Alot of games are missing. Little Devil Inside, Awaken Project, Factions,.. where that Men in Black video game at? Im very happy with the first party games. I hate it when Xbox goes first because then Sony pulls shit back when Xbox doesnt announce anything. Fuck it give me TLoU Factions GCI videos, something.
Project eve isn't japanese though? That language definitely wasn't japanese. Maybe korean or Chinese.

Report me if I continue to console war
I gave it a D, I was expecting at least one thing drop jaws, or at least show something clearly next gen, but we got PS4 games at higher res,textures and settings. In Ragnarok There may be some additional geometry and effects but it looks very much like a ps4 game at higher settings.
Forbidden west seems to have more work put into the PS5 version, with high geometric detail and additional light sources.

Some notable things to consider

KOTOR is timed exclusives

Spiderman 2 announced for PS5, but no mention no PS4 version coming so we can assume it's likely cross gen and in the same city with same assets

God of War Ragnarok looks like more of the same and no next gen leap in graphics as it's cross gen

Wolverine is going to be so fucking epic. Insomniac really are amazing. I can't wait to see what they have planned for the character.
 
Nothing that stood out tbh. Mostly games that we knew about. But I understand that they are saving some stuff. Was hoping that Yoshida would troll us and show us FF XVI 6/10 :)
 
God of War looks incredible. It doesn't look impossible on PS4, but it looks fantastic artistically and design wise. Looks epic, amazing draw distance. The geometry and texture work looked fantastic. Looks like God of War on PS4 taken to the next level, which honestly isn't a bad thing. It was one of the best games all of last gen, and one of the best games ever. Wolverine was the big surprise for me, but it looks pretty far off. Without seeing Kotor remake to see how much work was really done with no date, and it also being timed, that took away from it some.

Show overall gets a C from me. It's along the lines of what I expected. There was no major surprise for me.
