Making AAA games, GOTY contenders is actually showing interest for their customers. Everything else is fluff.

Whether they return to live events or not is a big unknown. Sony are the co-owners of Evo, which had a large public event this year. They did plan to have "hundreds of fan events" prior to the PS5 launch before the pandemic scrapped all those plans. They even registered a new trademark for PSX (PlayStation Experience) last year, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that they'll return to a live format for a showcase while maintaining digital SoP's throughout the year. Next year would be the soonest we'd possibly see that happen, but it's all just speculation on our part right now.
As for raising the prices of the console, that's a result of the world economy being as it is, and Sony choosing not to eat those costs. Tell me, were you equally as upset and find it as anti-consumer when Sony Electronics raised the price of all their products earlier this year?
As for lack of communication, Sony and their studios are constantly engaging with the community every week. Unless you think the only way they can communicate with the public is via a SoP or Showcase, then you're very wrong by saying there's a lack of communication. Social media communication is constant and abundant. Advertisement is constant any ongoing. Interviews with news outlets occurs frequently. State of Plays occur often. Game releases have been as good as can be expected given the circumstances. Other than a showcase to announce their next wave of titles to market, their overall public communication has been excellent.

This.
People would rather jim ryan come out in a PR interview on a ps podcast with a sly cooper tee and promise that they’ll do x and x thing for them for years with nothign to show for it instead of being happy we are actually getting solid content rollout at this very moment.
We got two major games in the beginning of the year, one minor game last month and one major game again next month.

They haven't built any games where the focus has been hand to hand melee. They also haven't built many games with closed-off areas as the focal point of the game design. It's not something they did particularly well in Spider-Man.

Marvel reached out to Microsoft, but Microsoft didn't take a bite at the apple. That's because Microsoft knows they don't have the studios to make a game that would have had the appeal that Spider-Man did. Sony could have literally given it to one of 5 or 6 studios, but they wouldn't have been able to pull this off in the early 2000s.
If Microsoft had done it, it would have ended up with similar quality to the Activision games, but lower budget because it would only be on 2 platforms, instead of 4 or 5.
It was a real leap of faith Sony put in Insomniac to really deliver on Spider-Man and I hope they double down on that. I think they've been bitten a couple of times now with high budgets around Returnal and Demon's Souls, but I think those games help the prestige of PlayStation Studios even if they don't sell super well.

I do find it strange that Microsoft complained about Spider-man being exclusive when they rejected it.
I do agree it was risky for Sony to give it to Insomniac but sometimes you need to risk it to have big pay offs in the end.

To further clarify, Marvel went to Sony to ask them to work on a big budget exclusive game. It's been a long while since I read the post on it, so I don't recall if Insomniac was part of the original request or if Sony chose them for the task, but I think it's the latter. Insomniac was given the choice to work on whatever Marvel IP they wanted, and they chose Spider-Man, which is how everything came to be. Similarly, they came up with the pitch for Wolverine, proposed it and were given the green light to go ahead.

I hope Wolverine is heavily physics based within the environments. Completely trashing bars, destroying cars, walls, glass, etc..

Both resistance and ratchet and clank had closed off areas/stages, i dont imagine wolverine will be much different.

Both games focus way more on exterior levels and interior stages in both franchises similar to Spider-Man were not top notch.

I don't believe this for a second.
There's no point in hyping 2023 and 2024 games in the middle of the '22 holiday season. Makes zero sense.

What happened to the other thread, where a group of people (based on nothing but Tweets) came to a consensus that the showcase was happening this month??
Anyway, I'm only looking forward to Ragnarok right now (with my PS5 due to be delivered this Friday).
We'll get a Showcase when we get it.

An Insomniac/Marvel dedicated SOP? Sounds like a weird idea...which is why I would not put it past the Sony of late. I'd still call bullshit on this rumour...

Those aren't high budget games, relatively speaking.
