Same feeling here, 3rd party was solid, but I wonder why they didn't reveal more from first party. What's Sucker Punch doing, where's Team Asobi, Bend Studio, Bluepoint, etc...?

What time is it?
I lowered my score because of Assassin's Creed as well.

I got a Nintendo Switch this week, so neither do I.
For me is all about Granblue, Armored Core, Stellar Blade, Rise of Ronin and Elden Ring DLC.

lol let it go bro. They got nothing. This was their first real show in 3 years and they literally had nothing from their first party other than spiderman 2.

Can we finally agree that Jim Ryan and Herman Hurst are hacks who need to go? PS might be posting record sales, but I am not a stockholder. I am a consumer and a gamer and they have proven me right over and over again. You want me to give them a shot. Well, three years later, time has proved me right. I want an apology from all other sony fans on this board for predicting this man would completely ruin the best part about playstation gaming. Actual boundry pushing exclusives. They have nothing. 25 studios and 1 game with gameplay. After 3 years.

Reading that was hurting me the first time. I puked after the last time.

Yup, plus Assassin's Creed looked pretty good and apparently Marathon was a great game back in the day, I'd like to know more about this reboot. Street Fighter 6 too.
Even the ones I'm not all that interested like the EA FPS game didn't look too bad, people enjoyed Ghost Runner and apparently Talos Principle is a good game, right?
I honestly don't know why people are so negative, it was a good show.

I mean, at least they've still got a bunch cooking you'd guess.
Massively underwhelming. Genuinely surprised at Factions no-showing.

I would have liked to see Naughty Dog's new project, something from Wolverine, Bloodborne remake. But honestly, other than this, what more could we expect? They gave us Spiderman 2...there were some new (3rd pt) announcements. Not to sure of those which are also coming to Xbox and/or PC.
We finally got to see what Haven and Bungie's working on. I think folks giving it an D or lower are being a bit unreasonable

It was so bad that I was hoping for a Redfall reveal towards the end. And I would have applauded.

This ‘showcase’ adds a lot of context to Phil Spencer’s bullshit the other week.
It looks like neither of them have much to show for all their time in the job.
Ninty now seem like the only ones who know how to do first party exclusive gaming properly.

If you thought that was "shit", you need your head examining.
I'm not a fan of shows with such a heavy use of non-gameplay footage, but frankly the level of artistry was generally so high there that it felt a bit petty to moan about it.
The show didn't have the best flow to it, but, that was rammed full of quality content.

Grow up, mate. Having MGS there has nearly cracked it into 11/10, you Slimy one.
It would have been nice to have more than a teaser though. Maybe it's still early, but it's nice to know Metal Gear is back from the dead.

Sony's been on the blockbuster rollercoaster that

kicked off with God of War, helped turned the PS3 around, and almost singularly focused on last generation. These games aren't terribly interesting to me either, but it's hard to argue with the results, sadly. I also wouldn't be too concerned with Sony only showcasing Spider Man as that's their next big push.

Not until we get a single year without games to play
The showcase was disappointing, but PS5 this year has massive exclusives with FF16 and Spider-Man 2
Next year? Who knows. We didn’t see anything from Bend, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint, Asobi, Naughty Dog, SSM, Firesprite, Media Molecule, or London
Seems like they held back on showing anything other than GaaS with those dinky “trailers”
But that doesn’t mean 2024 is going to be a wasteland. Just a shitty showcase they put together

Insomniac cements themselves as a b tier studio. As I suspected all along. Literally no lesson has been learned from the previous game.
Web swinging is still the same floaty amateur hour bs. Graphics looks almost PS4. Can't even tell if it's better than miles. And qte set piece events took half the gameplay time. Who is excited to see this stuff?
Funny the most impressive looking game was a fucking Chinese game. And dragons dogma 2, but we already knew that one was coming so can't call it a Megaton.

After all, the success till now has been primarily due to the momentum of the previous management, ps4 era.

It was a first party disaster. That’s what people are talking about.
Quite rightly, given the amount of time they’ve had to work on projects now.

This should actually have happened and I'm not joking.
How long have fans been waiting for a PS Showcase only to be shown cinematic trailers with 0 gameplay.
Where was Sony first parties?
Why an avalanche of Indies and 3rd parties?
Aren't the indies normally reserved for State Of Plays?
What a shower of shit this was.

Fantastic line up of games, but I’m disappointed that Killzone 2 VR wasn’t announced or a remake or anything.

Those of you asking what the other first party studios are doing, only to immediately assume that this means that there is nothing… are you guys really that fucking stupid, or are you just currently posting in some kind of grief induced state of moronic trance? Honest question.

Microsoft will easily have a better show because we already know they will do gameplay demonstration of starfield.

Outside of Spiderman 2 it was absolute shit, and we've known about Spiderman 2 for 2 years
2 years for a showcase and they show up with that shit?
That's the phase 2 of PS5?
I was very open to being convinced by GAAS games as long as they kept delivering single player bangers.
The Haven game looked like hot ass and was a CG trailer. Slap in the face
The Firewalk game was CG of a burger in space? WTF
Marathon 2, cool I guess. Not exclusive
And that's it???
Where is Factions and the Horizon game if you're trying to convince us on this direction? Where's the drop of surprising new IP like we once got for Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone etc.
Where was Sucker Punch? Bend Studios? Bluepoint? Asobi? Forward thinking collaborations we used to get like Bloodborne?
Somebody explain to me how their launch showcase was more interesting than the year 3 showcase which historically is hitting the peak?
I'm more convinced now anything great we've gotten so far out of this gen has been the tail end results of the previous management and Hermen/Ryan have no idea wtf they are doing and driving Sony into the dirt. It feels like they've put an Ubisoft CEO in charge of Nintendo games

A D for me.
Not mad about it or anything as I don't have crazy expectations, but the showcase didn't give me anything new to be excited for, and it actually may have slightly lessened my hype for Spiderman 2. I really dislike "switch between characters" mechanics, and I also am not big on "set piece action sequences." I did enjoy Spider-man but it wasn't my favorite game either. I still have yet to drudge up enough interest to play Miles for instance.

Eh Jim's still got a while to catch up to Phil's tenure in his position. I know he was in marketing before (which some might consider equivalent). You got God of War and Horizon and Ratchet n Clank during his tenure. I think Jim's doing fine. His sense of showmanship is nonexistent and his Charisma is about as low as mine when playing any RPG. Why be likeable when you can be feared?

I honestly thought it was a good show case held back by VR crap. Don’t know what the hate is exactly.
I guess people were hoping for this big bomb shell.

September showcase

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
What first party games
That was pretty bad. If not for showing again games coming out in the next few months like spidey, street fighter, Granblue, and ff16 for the umpteenth time this showcase would have been an D. They had a couple of games that bumped it to at least a C like that game from Gris, and the Abzu developers. This was barely even a C.
Yeah, the flow of the show was pretty terrible. It did have some quality content but not much to blow you away. This felt more like a state of play.

You don't just show stuff for the sake of it. What's the point of overshadowing titles coming out in the next 6 months with something not due for a year or longer?
Was there not enough stuff in there already?
