We've waited a good time for a PlayStation Showcase as long, varied and dedicated as last nights viewing and yet I walked away from it feeling that we would have to wait a little bit longer for what we many of us were after.
I do not often buy into the hype and expectations set by the media and public for these events but acknowledge that a lot of people do and for those, they were set high leaving most feeling underwhelmed. We were treated to a showcase of 3rd party/ MMO game reveals that offered little beyond intrigue with the grand finale being a big look at Spiderman 2. Some of these titles I believe will be sleepers and turn out to be pretty decent. Going in, I should have known that this is how Sony would setup for this event as this year's big system sellers will be Final Fantasy and Spiderman, so it makes sense that these two would be the main focus, especially as the competition hasn't really pushed anything out so far. There is little reason to show all your cards.
The two standouts outside of FF & Spiderman were Metal Gear Solid and Project Q. MGS actually made me say WOW. It could be the nostalgia, it could be the intro. All I know is that it did enough to grab me and want it immediately. Then we had Project Q. I believe that this is the beginning of Sony really pushing a cloud service and haven't really seen that being talked about since. It's the perfect system to have a streamable game service that doesn't require you to own a PS5. It will be really interesting to see the price point of this product and the map for it's lifecylce going forward.
To close, I felt like the show needed one big first party game to really round it off. That should have been factions. The only reason I could think that they haven shown it yet is because they want to keep building the hype and then give it a state of play.
If inwas a betting man, I'd say there will be a nother showcase before Christmas that sets up next year.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.

Konami and Bloober Team's upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 is receiving backlash over its character models in comparison to the original.
Loool, Angela looks like Brian "Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers! 😂

The rest of them don't look so bad in desig , it just feels like overall the graphics could have been better for 2024. I'm not blown away, but it's alright.
All the characters in the original is far better even the atmosphere is better in the original
I don’t get it, I’ve seen them make a normal looking female design in Medium… why is it that it feels like they’re going out of their way to make these characters looks off like this? They don’t need to be smoking hot, but it’s distracting with the direction they’re going here. I think the only normal looking one is Laura, but you’d really have to go out of your way to f*ck that up.
Yet another victim of a cancerous “consulting company” like SBI, this time from “Hit Detection” just as parasitic. I’m glad all that ESG DEI insanity is now slowly on its way ou. But unfortunately it will take a few years until games release without that cancer release.
"Good" is good enough.. not everything needs to be "Amazing" sheesh
I wouldn't be surprised to see some Playstation exclusives at the Summer Games Fest too.
This is not good enough… 2 years 2 years
