3 stars if i want to be objective. But i'll probably never play anything that i saw.

FF7R would be exciting if i was into remake. Great production value. Spiderman 2 will probably be very solid and Avatar is pretty impressive visually.

Honestly still more interesting than Nintendo Direct and shorter. It's not a show problem. Just that i don't find all those games very compelling, as usual.

 

[Caio]

4/5 :

I liked Resident Evil 4 VR Mode, the DLC; Avatar Frontiers of Pandora looked good, same for Helldivers 2.
Spiderman 2 was amazing, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth insane, and Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn a pleasant surprise.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I like seeing RE4. Made me want to do another run once VR drops.

FF is gonna Final Fantasy.

My spider sense is not going crazy over Spider-Man 2, but it's still day one.

They're talking about all these spidersuits, when what I want is more story content, cameos, boss fights, easter eggs, sidequests, and more Black Cat or Gwen Stacy.

 

[Lokaum D+]

damn, Starship Troopers looks good, SM2 amazing and FF7Re epic, finally something good from Sony.

 

[64bitmodels]

3 stars

Good enough for what it was.

3 stars? I thought you were working with Jim?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Really not sure what Sony are playing at, next year is looking just as sparse as this from a 1st party perspective.

Had to cut first party budgets so they could make this

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

3 stars? I thought you were working with Jim?

Naw fam PlayStation is divided between team Jim and team ass

Once I'm in power things will change

 

[mckmas8808]

Where I set my expectations it honestly wasn't terrible

I am very ready to play SM2 now

Going to add that Baby Steps trailer looked like trash but has the chance to make me laugh here and there, I actually want to know more

I lol'ed like 4 times during that Baby Steps trailer. That's awesome!

 

[PanzerCute]

Absolutely terrible except FF7.

Not even 25 minutes long. Sony is really cheap and I start to lose faith tbh.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

That FF7R trailer omg. It was everything i wanted.

SM2 looks pretty good as well.

4stars better than i was expecting for sure.

 

[Magusx]

FFVII remake only is 5 stars ez

 

[Killjoy-NL]

4 stars. Solid showing, Spider-Man and FFVIIR looked amazing, RE4 looked good as well.

But outside of FF, there wasn't much of interest for me personally.

 

[Topher]

3 stars. It was good. Not great. Not bad. Just.....good.

 

[DeepEnigma]

3 stars. It was good. Not great. Not bad. Just.....good.

Same.

3 stars. SH2 update and Stellar Ass would have made it 4 out of 5. 5 out of 5 with a Bluepoint teaser or Elden Ring DLC trailer.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I selected 3 but meant to select 4. RE4 DLC, FF7R stuff, and Spider-Man 2 was surprising. More than I was expecting today. Still wondering where SH2 is though.

 

[PaintTinJr]

3 stars for me, maybe more: rebirth is coming next year and the technical rendering looks full next gen finally. Maybe less: not being able to play all of Spidey 2 as "Spiderman" killed my day 1 enthusiasm, along with the hud marker overload menu systems and garbage skill tree template continuation, in every Sony first party SP game. I might get it close to launch, but probably looking at getting discounted in 18months when my brain might have started to forget the same skill trees of HFW, GoT and Morales.

 

[jm89]

I was cackling when i first saw foam stars a few months ago.

But now i'm seeing this thing could be huge.

Tales of arise and re4 dlc were surprising highlights.

Spiderman 2 and ff7 rebirth expected awesome was awesome.

I give it 4/5

 

[Draugoth]

4 stars for the big third party surprises

 

[gothmog]

Loved that most of the games had dates. Would love to see more of that going forward from everyone.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Not quite as good as the Mario Direct but it wasn’t terrible.

 

[Elder Legend]

I was hoping Monster Hunter next would be here. Spiderman 2 and FF7 Rebirth looked solid though and Avatar looks sick. 3 out of 5 for me. If a new MH game would of been here, would have been a 5/5 for me. Seeing everything getting Release Dates though was a smart choice.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I got Resident Evil and FFVII trailers and release dates. 10/10.

 

[Humdinger]

Pretty good. I'd give it a B, which translates to 4 stars I suppose. It kept my attention for more than half of the presentation, which is probably a record.

 

[Raonak]

Solid 4/5

Great trailers for spiderman and FF7
and RE4 VR

 

[mejin]

Sony was pretty clear what to expect from this SoP.

But the trailers were really nice: Avatar, Ada, Arise, Spider and FFVII

 

[OrionNebula]

Going to add that Baby Steps trailer looked like trash but has the chance to make me laugh here and there, I actually want to know more

I feel the exact same, except it really has no chance of making me laugh, and I really don’t want to know more

 

[rapid32.5]

Separate Ways doesn’t even count since it’s DLC and multi-platform. Rebirth should be good one star for that. No surprises and Silent Hill is missing in action again, which is disturbing, since the devs were bragging it was nearly finished.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Weak. I wanted to see at least see some PC stuff.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

With the exception of Spidey 2, I have zero interest in any of that. Even Spidey 2 feels done to death at this point.

 

[TGO]

Resident Evil 4 DLC & FFVIIRebirth and Spider-Man
The exact same thing they showed at the showcase.
In fact if it wasn't for Separate Ways DLC it would have been EXACTLY what they showed at the showcase.
what's worse is this was a better showing for those games too.
So other then announcing the PS Portal, they had NOTHING for that showcase.
Jim has to go and so does that woman who kept staring to my right as if she was talking to someone behind me

 

[Jigsaah]

4/5 stars. I don't play VR but the Resident Evil VR game looks fun.
Spiderman 2 finally gets a proper showing.
Hyped for Rebirth though I'll be waiting to play on PC, since the PS5 pro won't be out til late next year maybe.
Helldivers actually looks pretty fun if you got friends to play with.
Tales of Arise looks...different. I thought it was Granblue at first. Looks like they stepped up their game.

Didn't care for much else, but I came away satisfied.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

3.5 stars because of Rebirth and new Spidey footage. Ada DLC dropping soon was welcome news, Helldivers 2 looking good and we've got a release date. Solid overall but nothing new, still waiting for a mind-melting 1st party showcase.

 

[Hoddi]

Little that interested me. I've yet to play FF7R so it was nice to see a release date for the next part. And I guess Avatar seems okay though I'll wait for the reviews.

 

[supernova8]

Avatar looked great but I cannot remember what they showed last time... FF Rebirth looks amazing (FFVII remake looked like it had no business being on PS4 in the first place and this looked even better)...

Spiderman 2 eh... felt like they described it as "hey look it's the exact same game but now with a bigger map, more costumes.... and you can be a flying squirrel yay!"

Other than that pretty meh. Foamstars looks amazing obviously /s

I was going to give it 2/5 but bumped it up to 3/5 to reward them for that epic troll in the middle where they had all those crazy Playstation animations, probably making everyone think the PS5 Slim was about to be announced and then they were like

"BUY THESE FACEPLATES YOU PEASANTS!"

 

[slade]

4 stars with Spidey 2 and FFVII rebirth doing the heavy lifting.

 

[In Cold Blood]

That was pretty bad.
They said "fuck it", everyone says our games are walking simulators, let's just make one. (Baby steps)

Spider-Man 2 was the only thing that was worth watching.

 

[Crayon]

I have no idea why foam stars is appealing to me. I don't play stuff like that and I never found splatoon appealing. I think I just like the way the foam looks, which is odd. It looks all nice and fluffy.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Wasn’t terrible like the last few.

 

[Justin9mm]

Spider-Man 2
Helldivers 2
Ghostbusters VR
RE4 VR

not bad

3 of those we or at least I already knew all about and has already been announced, not sure how that's 'not' bad. I also own a PSVR2, state of play was terrible.

 

[Sanepar]

They made a Sop better than last showcase.

 

[Ozzie666]

Marginally better then the Nintendo Direct today. I was all in for Spider-man 2 and FF7 Rebirth already. Sony is really playing the slow roll this generation, either nothing is ready or they are just so confident. Like many gamers, I'd love to hear or see something new in the pipeline. I have to wonder if some third parties held back for the upcoming Japan show? Mihght explaint he absence of titles like Pragmata. I went into the SOP expecting disappointment, it was better than the last effort and I left feeling 'meh'.

 

[LostInTime]

Separate Ways and FF7 Rebirth hype!

 

[theStartupSound]

Maybe that sounds strange, but Baby Steps is the first game, which made me want to have a PS5 (even if it looks like it could also work on my PS4).

I wish we have more characters like him, not everybody needs to be a superhero or badass. I miss quirky characters like him or the Deadly Premonition guy

 

[LostInTime]

I miss quirky characters like him or the Deadly Premonition guy

The Baby Steps guy doesn't even compete with York and Zack.

 

[theStartupSound]

The Baby Steps guy doesn't even compete with York and Zack.

I agree, that they’re pretty different. But still, we need more strange characters in games.

 

[Heisenberg007]

It's a 4/5, but I went in with 0 expectations, and it pleasantly surprised me, so I gave it a 5/5.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Had deja vu watching that. Felt like every game has been at the last show.

 

[Bridges]

I feel crazy watching that and seeing 4/5s here. Just longer trailers of a bunch of games we've already seen.

Final Fantasy looks incredible but otherwise this felt pretty pointless.

... Definitely wanna play Baby Steps though, I'll give them that

 

[nightmare-slain]

1/5

Would be 0 if not for VII Rebirth release date and even that doesn’t really matter to me because I’ll just wait a few months and play the game on PC.

What’s happened to Sony? This show and the last one was awful. Guess I’m not getting a PS5 until 2025 lol

 

[Korso]

I was expecting Baby Steps to be called Walking Simulator... so it was a letdown... 1/5
