How do you rate the showcase?

 

[LectureMaster]

No Naughty Dog
No SMS
No Sucker Punch
No Astrobot
No Bend Studio
No BluePoint
No Kojima and DS2
No Silent Hill
No Stellar Blade

It appears that SIE only gonna publish one game this year.

Why the heck this was called showcase instead of just another state of play?

 

[Evolved1]

Embarrassing... and kinda sad. For everyone.

[SEGAvangelist]

Alan Wake 2 pushed it from poor to mediocre for me.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

That was bad, we waited 2 fucking years for that?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

0/10

 

[Salmon Snake]

It was poor.

I got really hyped for this show because we haven't had a show like this in a while.
What a let down.

Couple of great / interesting games and a bunch of anime crap.

 

[Senua]

Do these threads keep getting deleted or what?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Very mediocre. I expected more from Sony.

 

[Sanepar]

I can't even believe they did this showcase. Easy the worst shit in videogames history. Xbox one reveal was better than that.

 

[dottme]

Do these threads keep getting deleted or what?

I was sure there’s another thread but I cannot find it. I’m confused

 

[ViolentP]

Not into it.

 

[Strider Highwind]

3/10

 

[Hot5pur]

Lots of cool games shown but nothing too crazy. Thought it was just ok/good. Spiderman was disappointing.

 

[Senua]

I was sure there’s another thread but I cannot find it. I’m confused

There was two before this, both gone

 

[Robb]

Should’ve been one of their best…Turned out to be one of their worst..

 

[Kikorin]

Saved by Alan Wake 2 for me, but I think would have been a lot better show if they just showed Spiderman 2, MGS remake, Marathon, AW2 and Dragon's Dogma 2. More than 1hrs was a waste of time for the games showed IMHO.

 

[Anchovie123]

It was bad. Whole show could have been redeemed if they had shown literally anything Bloodborne.

 

[El Pistolero]

Okayish, but two things are pretty clear:

1. Most FP studios are not ready...
2. Videogames are starting to look way too samey to me...

Oh, and nothing really stood out as amazing looking or creatively inspiring. The showcase reminds me of the last few MS ones: Serviceable, but ultimately dull and forgettable.

6/10.

 

[StealthGoblin]

It didn’t feel like a PlayStation Showcase.

Outside of Spider-Man there wasn’t a recognisable PlayStation IP.

They didn’t highlight PS+

It feels like there is another Showcase coming in September.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Please finally understand that we are entering an era of crisis in the AAA game industry, these projects have become too big, too complicated and too expensive.

 

[Kilau]

I didn't see a single good thing.

I didn't watch it.

 

[-Zelda-]

I am interested in:

The Metal Gear games
Granblue Fantasy: Relink


Tower of Fantasy looks like that Genshin Impact stuff. Could be fun, but I am not touching it if it is online only/download only.

 

[K2D]

Big D energy.

A lot of bone and very little meat.

 

[Mr Moose]

Average as fuck. Spider-Man 2, Dragon's Dogma 2 and maybe MGS if it wasn't CG bullshit were the only saving things. Street Fighter 6 looked good but the demo was shit.

 

[XXL]

It's was ok, people are overreacting imo. Some of the games announced are fantastic... like Dragons Dogma, Alan Wake, etc.

But for a big showcase, It should have been better by showing more gameplay and 1st party games in development.

 

[Zok310]

6/10

It was a bad PS showcase, but a good industry showcase overall.
I really wanna know how the folks at SIE went back to CGI trailers when in the past the have announced/reveal brand new ip via gameplay upfront? Like how did they fall off that horse sony?

gameplay, gameplay, gameplay...............
S-M2 looks like it need more time than "Fall 2023", its either cross gen, big as shit or its getting delayed, that shit look like a smart phone game.

 

[Fake]

Will be like the fourth time a poll thread was created.

 

[DonJorginho]

They literally had everything set up to hit a home run... Only to not get to bat at all due to shitting themselves on their way up to the field.

 

[Camreezie]

+Metal Gear Collection
+Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
+Spiderman 2 gameplay
+Phantom Blade 0
+The new squid games game

- GAAS trash
- Hardly any sony studios
- Hardly any release dates

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

Marathon is a PVP extraction shooter, because god forbid it tries to be a single player experience.
The amount of exclusives Playstation releases is declining rapidly… Basically barely better than Xbox at this point.

 

[SNG32]

I had it a 4/10 but Spider-Man bumped it up to a 5/10. Definitely one of the worse showcases for Sony way too much cgi trailers for my liking .I’m surprised they didn’t show any Stellar blade footage since it’s suppose to release this year.

 

[normalguy09x]

I enjoyed it. It was decent, not E3 quality. But it was decent. I like the Metal Gear announcements, I enjoyed what I saw from FF16, Foamstars looked fun, and Spiderman looked great. And Phantom Blade 0 looked phenomenal.

 

[Elios83]

It was just ok, it lacked big PlayStation Studios announcements. Many games were just not ready with "not gameplay" teasers.
But there were many cool titles to look forward to in general.
It seemed like a long State of Play to me.

 

[Zannegan]

Why are these getting deleted? We always have reaction/rating threads after conferences/directs/showcases.

EDIT: On topic, I think it was a fine show, but not a great showcase for Playstation. Pretty much everything I'm interested in is 3rd part, VR, or both.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Way overhyped for what it ended up being. Seems like there's very little to look forward to from Sony first party for the foreseeable future except SpiderMan 2. I guess this means everything else (new IP from Naughty Dog and Santa Monica) are 2025 earliest.

 

[X-Wing]

I was game after game after game.
There was a lot of content and most of it look of good quality.
But a lot of it wasn't for me.
Spiderman 2 is looking great.

 

[Elginer]

It was weak as shit. Most of what I saw that interested me I'll play on a Series X. Spider-man looks great but where the shit was Naughty Dog or any of their other first party studios? Well, Microsoft has their work cut out for them. Honestly, show off Fable, Avowed and a few other gems and their golden. All this talk about Sony bringing the heat and all they brought was a ton of multiplatform games and from their first party a focus on shit shooters that won't last 6 months in the market. Good job Sony.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Seems some moderator(s) doesn't like negative opinions about Sony to be represented on this forum.

 

[Tomeru]

Some nice game, but overall pretty stale.

 

[SeraphJan]

Fantastic for me, these games looked very interesting to me, regardless whether its third party or not.

• Helldivers 2
• Immortals of Aveum
• Ghostrunner 2
• Phantom Blade 0
• The Talos Principle 2
• Teardown
• Metal Gear Solid Triangle: Snake Eater
• Towers of Aghasba
• Final Fantasy XVI
• Alan Wake 2
• Assassin’s Creed: Mirage
• Street Fighter 6
• Dragon’s Dogma 2
• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2
• Resident Evil 4 Remake on PSVR2
• Arizona Sunshine 2 on PSVR2
• Synapse on PSVR2
• Spider-Man 2

 

[Zannegan]

Let's not get conspiracy-minded. I like the mod team. They seem really even-handed as a rule.

I would just be sad if they decided reaction threads were out for some reason.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Pretty mediocre, tbh....

I expected much more single player stuff

 

[Captain Toad]

I just want to know what the big Sony studios are doing next. Bluepoint, Housemarque, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, GG, Santa Monica, Team Asobi.

I assume they all have something in the works. I figured we'd hear at least a couple of them.

 

[dead monkey uk]

As a game showcase it was fine, but as a PlayStation showcase it failed, not enough PS studio games and needed more gameplay. Shocked there was no Factions reveal.

 

[PropellerEar]

6/10

Are they saving some stuff for Dorito Pope Show?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

That was bad, we waited 2 fucking years for that?

That MGS3 reveal was criminal.

Treating a franchise like that to National Geographic CGI fuckery only to end on a CGI mugshot of snake and that's it.

Like WTF. Couldn't they have waited a few more months and show off a short snippet of gameplay for the fans? Its Metal Gear Solid for fuck sake.

 

[mortal]

lol this is like the 3rd rating thread

 

[elcapitano]

My question is when is the next showcase because we know nothing about future First part releases from the major Sony studios
