How can cyberpunk still be the most next gen open world game on the ps5.

MGS collection and Dragon's Dogma 2 were the highlights for me. I already knew about Plucky Squire and have been in on that from reveal.
MGS3 remake stinks of vaporware. They will test the waters with their MGS collection first. Lets see how that turns out. Those games are a little bit more difficult to get right compared to Castlevania and Contra.

This sounds rough. About to fire it up in around 10 mins.

What time is it?
And they did so well with the last Contra game.
I kind of expected a MGS Collection to coincide with PS+ Premium.

GTA V is still leagues ahead of Cyberpunk when it comes to open world.

Not sure how you came up with this?? Just because they didn’t show 1st party games in the showcase doesn’t mean they’re not going to be released.

Yes that shit is trash. Reloading in contra? LMAO. I was referring more to the collections they put out which are decent.

Mediocre show, tbh.
Curious about Firewalk's game.
Phantom Blade 0, Spiderman and Dragon's Dogma 2 were the highlights of the show.

Unbelievable phase 2

It's all about cost for Konami and casting a wide net. They announced a half dozen Silent Hill projects and handed the crown jewel (and probably the most money to) Blooper Team. They obviously want to see what sticks on the wall at this point but have don't want to make proper investments. Man, fuck Konami. I'm glad Kojima got out.

MGS trailer was too short, if 25% of the showcase was MGS it would have been great for me. lol

One thing people don’t seem to add to this. This was the first showcase in almost two years…wonder how many more we have to go untill the next?

I enjoyed it. Some of it was kind of meh. Saw some cool shit too, though.

Probably the last year of E3. It was ruined when Geoff knightly used social media and PlayStation fans to kill a good time.

As a massive PlayStation fan, that was honestly pretty shit. I expected far more.

It was very bad. Especially when you factor in the amount of exclusive content from first parties.

Poor. Theres games I like there, Assassins Creed, Marathon, MGS, Final Fantasy and Spiderman, but other than them it was all PS Plus fodder pretty much and no news on there major 1st party studios. I know they wont come out with what there all doing but you would think we would see some of Factions from Naughty Dog by now ? To close the show with Spiderman gameplay was weak aswell, sure it looks good and will play great but its nothing new or surprising.
Big chance for Xbox to have a good showcase but I dont have much hope there, just more big Phil grinning and chatting shit.

Was expecting some sort of teaser from one of their bigger studios.

The bare minimum they should just release the collection that came out for 360 and PS3 but for modern systems and PC. That's really all I expect and would be happy with. Xbox does have BC with that but its become more difficult to own those games without relying on hardware from 2 generations+ ago.

Last thing I will say about this Showcase is it w going to have a hard time living up to the hype people had set, including myself. But leading up to this we had people saying Sony wanted to dominate, get the so called mindshare and studios were excited about this show. If all this is true we are in trouble if Sony thought this was a killer show

Poor at best. Completely tone deaf, pointless. Might as well have stuck with those state of plays this did nothing but sour the mood.

Mid. Expected to see some good first party reveals. Ended up with CGI trailers that tells me nothing.
MGS 3 reveal was kind of cool as was the Alan Wake 2 gameplay. Everything else I wasn't really interested in. Maybe, apart from Concord, but no idea what that game is..

Not good enough to be called a "Showcase", we waited 2 years for this ? they should have divided those 60 minutes in 4 States of Play, and no disrespect but those GAAS look so generic can't believe it that Sony saw any thing positive on them... it is really deppresing if you imagine that this sorta of game with no soul or identity is replacing studios like Japan Studio, Evolution, Pixelopus...

'you say you want 'uninspired'? well, check out the latest playstation showcase!'...
i'll likely be playing 3 of those games (all, unsurprisingly, sequels: dragon's dogma 2, alan wake 2, assassin's creed mirage). but i'm not really sure i need to experience a remade mgs3, & nothing else impressed in any way...

Don’t know what the hate is exactly. Only problem I had is the VR stuff. Spider-Man isn’t for me but it looks good. So does Hell drivers 2.

Yeah, was kind of a 6/10 for me.
Highlight for me was The Talos Principle 2. Never saw that comming, and I loved the first game. One of the best Puzzle games in many, many years.
And there were some good showings, like Dragons Dogma 2, Spider Man 2, The pickle Squire, and Alan Wake. But most of them were just CGI trailers, and its hard to get hyped on that. And on top of that, for some reason it seems western companies can't for the live of them make an interesting and original trailer, even the CGI ones. They all seem to... blend together. They all have a similar style of music to hype it up, the "story beats" of the trailers are all very similar, and even the catch phrases seem like they have been using them for the past 20 years. It makes for some very boring show, from an entertainment point of view.
In that sense, Nintendo Directs are still unbeatable. Their pacing, their spectacle, their sense of wonder is something that no one seem to manage to capture.

But there were multiple new titles from PS Studios...
The 2020 PS Showcase and Feb 2022 Nintendo Direct lived up to hype I'd say.

I know a lot of podcasters were excited for this showcase but honestly, my biggest disapointment is that there really isn't much to talk about

Sony tends to nail these shows, better than anyone else as far as consistency goes. Their shows are almost always stellar, and their line-up of games always excite players and journalists, equally.
This year though, something was missing... A lot was missing. This showcase was bad.

Serious lack of 1st party games and gameplay. I wanted to see TLOU online damnit! There were some nice 3rd party announcements.

It was the lack of 1st party. All this show needed was a TLOU online and maybe a Twisted Metal showcase to make it very good. It was like a meal with no salt.

Gonna go with medicore, almost poor honestly. I didn't have many expectations (wanted to see Wolverine, maybe something from Naughty Dog as well).

The 3rd party games were good. I saw 4-5 games that were unexpected and looked fun. It was lacking 1st party and heavy hitters.

Sony does not have to try anymore tbh get ready for this same lame showcase level of hype in about 3 years when Sony decides to do another “showcase” again. There is no reason to ever be hype again. This is the company with 0 incentive to try anymore.
