That makes sense. The problem is in the hype we create.Sony for a while now focuses all their marketing on the next big release. With FF and Spiderman on the horizon, there was no way they would show anything to steal their thunder.
Always crazy high expectations before a state of play and then disappointment. Why do you do this to yourselves? I was just happy to see some dragon's dogma 2 in action.
To be fair, it is working quite well for Sony as a business. Sales are through the roof.What we don't love is not getting a whiff of the game for years later (e.g. Fable). It would have been acceptable for them to show a couple more upcoming first party games.
@mckmas8808 is right, Jimbo doesn't see it that way, and as long as the PowerPoint presentations keep looking good to investors, he'll keep doing it this way.
Some can, not all. Same thing on both sides.At least the sony fans can say that the conference was shit. MS fans will always say MS is the messiah of gaming
Yeah that was my point. But as a gamer, anticipation (hype) of a big game is part of the fun of online discourse, so it sucks in that regard.To be fair, it is working quite well for Sony as a business. Sales are through the roof.
You people are literally crazy. What does this even mean? They put TOO much effort in? Soul? What the fuck are you talking about? It was a reel of trailers.I did watch a bit of the presentation and we’ll it was trying to look too slick etc games are meant to be fun. Sony tried to over polish the show so much it took the soul out of things.
True. I misunderstood you.Yeah that was my point. But as a gamer, anticipation (hype) of a big game is part of the fun of online discourse, so it sucks in that regard.
Why would anyone be hoping for these? Those games sucked.I was really bummed about the showcase. No suprise announcements except for MGS 3 which is multiplatform.
I was hoping for an uncharted 5, maybe a ff7-2 trailer, maybe a Heavenly Sword 2, 1886-2, Ghost of Tsushima 2, a new AAA single player game??
After this showcase, I feel like PlayStation’s communication is becoming dangerously bad.
Is PlayStation out of touch with their core fan base?
-The Gaas push
-The cloud handheld
-Generic looking games i.e Haven’s own Redfall.
- the over reliance on CGI trailers.
- Lack of first party games during a PS showcase.
What the hell Sony?
What happened to the PlayStation that gave us E3 2016 or 2020’s PlayStation showcase?
Why aren’t they communicating with their fans?
Yes the console is selling well, but you can’t stay silent for almost 2 years and then offer us this mediocre showcase. stay focused on what made you successful in the first place.
I hope that all those generic looking Gaas games fail.
And that cloud handheld of yours, it will be dead on arrival.
.And Jade Raymond will be out of a job in a year or two

Oh you hopeful innocent soul.I mean, you people beg for showcases you got a showcase. They show what the publishers are ready to show... Pretty sure that the single player games that PS Studios are working on will be shown at a slower pace on States of Play.

Wasn't it also Xbox who caught a lot of backlash for showing way too many CGI trailers like two E3's ago that they had to step up and say "yeah we fucked up on that one and won't do that again"?
Nobody wants a show filled with CGI trailers and they did it anyway. Everytime that NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY disclaimer started I rolled my eyes.
The moment money decided to join the party, all the small fights became meaningless.
MS showed Sony that they can simply buy success easily and don't have to build a huge games like them.
Zenimax/Bethesda is example of a power move like that. MS will get starfield as exclusive game, even though they didn't make that game.
This is what all those greedy fuckin corps are after, its thier wet dream that they go for every time, nintendo dipped out of competing 1st, Xbox next and now PS is gonna abuse the shit out of this market unless someone steps up.They have a near monopoly is what.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find after Phil's comments the other week Sony probably immediately slashed the budget of a number of there titles. Cause why try now. It's Maximum Profit time.
Bungie is just too smart.Looking at the presentation I share some of that concern. Especially with the Bungie title and instead of focusing on their platforms they are helping the competition out too with an Xbox port. Just seems strange. Is this the reason they spent all that money the stupid to make multi platform games. Why not just left them stay 3rd party?
Brand loyalty of any kind is truly stupid, I haven't fanboyed a Corp since I was a child.I'm so confused by Playstation gamers sometimes.
One day they think it's greatest thing since sliced bread. The next day they think it's trash.
Likely there would be no deal in the first place if they tried to impose their weight. Bungie has too much going for them.Looking at the presentation I share some of that concern.

Jim ryans playstation sucks, i agree. Not as badly as phil spencers xbox, but a clear step down from shawn laydens playstation
I feel like they are following Microsoft example
Seems MS and Sony are going that route. Nintendo’s weakness is also their greatest strength the refusal or slow adoption of general trends.Did it actually take yesterday's showcase for you guys to finally realize this? Things have been headed in this direction for years now... Writing has been on the wall for a while but I guess nobody wanted to see it.
I need to know what Ass of Can Whooping ‘s mood isThe sudden tone shift from fanboys is quite a sight to behold.
It's a good thing, people need to wake up.The sudden tone shift from fanboys is quite a sight to behold.
I feel concerned about the future of games in general. Playstation was an outlier, still making high quality single player games, with great production values. If they go to shit, it's over bro.
You are allowed to complain.....but don't do it anywhere else other than here.....you will be accused of racism and white fragility.Btw since media use to complain about all the white male leads in games am I allowed to now complain about it seeming like every game has a POC female character usually with colored hair or some shit? It's getting real old. Not sure why we can't have a balance here

This is the result of the length of AAA game development ballooning out of control, because everyone wants to have "muh graphics!" Games, especially big AAA single player games, take far longer to make today than they used to. What you saw last night was the result of that. A lot of big games just aren't ready to be shown yet, so what do they have to fill in the gap? Indie games, CGI trailers, and GaaS trash. Welcome to the future of gaming. A future where you're lucky if your favorite IP puts out two games per generation.
Just think on that next time you want to whine and moan about certain aspects of a new game's graphics not looking up to your standards. Also as great as 2023 is shaping up to be with it's big releases, prepare yourselves for 2024 to be a barren wasteland.
It's not everyone, it's a certain fanbase that set those standards and downplayed other games if they didn't hit their standards and weren't exclusive.
I see plenty of games I want to play. Its just the show was shit from a content perspective.
Nintendo got us all sorted, so don't panic.
