BloodyHell Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Ya, Spider-man looks fantastic, but the rest of the showcase was disappointing. Snake Eater is awesome, and Dradons Dogma, but neither has a date. the cowards didn’t even date Spider-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Don't care about spider-man, personally. No BB is always disappointing. DD2 lookin' good. MARATHON could be neat. MGS3 remake will a great game for me to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 So many great games are coming out, I just can't wait! 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Spider-Man 2 is the only game I’m for sure buying. Everything else was mostly ho-hum for me, with all the rumoured bigger guns I thought they’d unleash. Was hoping for more on Wolverine or another Ratchet and Clank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 There was a lot of cool stuff here! Only thing that sets it back is I wish there were more Playstation Studios updates -- Naughty Dog, Santa Monica's new IP, Sony London, Team Asobi, Bluepoint, Media Molecule, etc. I can kind of understand Santa Monia since they released GOW: Ragnarok half a year ago. Otherwise, Helldivers was an underrated gem last gen so I look forward to this next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The original Marathon trilogy was my favorite game series as a kid. I put absolutely absurd hours into it and a billion mods. I'm pretty psyched for it to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 That was pretty disappointing overall. I was expecting violence with a Spider-Man 2 date close to Starfield but nope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 This was pretty much a typical Microsoft conference outside of Spider-Man 2. Yup, I said that right. New IP from new studio announced with a CG trailer. Legacy franchises brought back with CG trailers. 3rd party showcase of games that could be really awesome, but may have little to do with the platform holder. Updates on games we’ve already seen too much from already. Many previously teased projects not shown. As a show it was an okay watch. And I’m glad PSVR2 wasn’t oversold. But if that and the new hardware wasn’t part of it, I think could have been a great Keighly show for the industry as a whole. And that defeats the whole point IMO. So many of these trailers could have been saved for him. So now we’ll get to complain about that next. Thanks Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Almost nothing had a date. The VR showing was awful. The only two great games they showed, mgs and Dragons Dogma have no dates. So we get spider-Man late 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Not that you can't show third party reveals and have smaller scale games at your big showcase but how do you have a first party showcase and reveal only 3 new first party games, 2 with short CGI trailers. Only one gameplay blowout of a new first party game coming out. It was Games Pass fodder without the Games Pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Too much pre-rendered/scripted cutscenes not much to get hyped about. Spiderman looked awesome though and I couldn't be more hyped about Ff16 than I already was prior to the showcase. Phantom blade looks like it has some promise but I want to see actual gameplay not whatever tf that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had one more extended gameplay sequence than Sony’s (Starfield and … Redfall), Pentement, and a bunch more DLC announced. Beyond that, it was much of the same thing with 3rd parties bringing the fresh and enticing outside of the headliner. Far from excellent. But better than their average. Would have been better with Hi-Fi Rush. 12 minutes ago, Dodger said: It was Games Pass fodder without the Games Pass.

TheLeon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I’m generally pretty tired of these kinds of presentations. It was my fault for watching, I suppose, but it’s hard to get excited for announcements of games that might come out within the next year. I like the Nintendo Direct model a little better. Even if the games shown aren’t always exciting, it’s nice to see more gameplay and know that they’ll mostly be out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep saying it, it doesn’t make it true. Their last summer show was not excellent, especially not in comparison to truly excellent E3 showcases (Nintendo 2004, 2014, Sony 2015, etc). Some of their games released since have been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the big three companies can manage it. With Sony, it was a matter of when they’d have to drop the ball to recoup. This was that year. It’s Jeff Grub’s fault for dubbing their show PS5 Phase 2 beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked quite a lot in Sony’s show here too. There’s some cool stuff they also had little to do with as well. But as a console manufacturer’s presser, this isn’t how it should be done. Again, most of these trailers should be saved for Geoff ideally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have different metrics of great shows for the console manufacturers. A wall list of all the great games coming from everybody isn’t what I look for. Especially not when multiplatform is the norm. Nintendo used to produce logo walls like this in their down years to distract from their problems. That should say it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
