To be fair, when you unveil a new console you want to shoot as many bullets as possible so the June 2020 showcase will probably be hard for Sony to top, regardless of what month they choose to announce stuff.

Downgrade already? Damn :(2021
2022
for legal purposes this is a joke
For me september 2020 showcase was better because we got GOW and FF16
I wonder if they are going to call it "Future of Gaming" assuming PSVR2 is there, instead of the usual "State of Play" or "PlayStation Showcase".
IIRC John Harker mentioned last year that Sony at one point was considering calling the september show FoG instead of what we got (PS showcase).
I thonk they will just call it PSVR2 showcase if it's just PSVR and if it's more then playstation showcase
Well, there is a lot less fog in the new version. Would this be called fog-gate?
I hope it's not a show fully dedicated to PSVR2, that would be kinda boring and I bet they wouldn't get nearly as many views as if they did a general one.
June was a bunch of small trailers from 1st party, 3rd party and indies alike. I think the main objective was to show PS5 would have diversity and be supported by all kinds of devs.
September was great. Last year was whatever like you said, only the last part was truly good.
The fur on Atreus is pretty starkly different, almost like a totally different render. I also noticed hair in general looks different than how it is in GOW18.2021
2022
Oh, yeah. It did its job. I honestly kinda liked getting two big-ish events. And yeah, last year, the game that left more of an impression in me was Wolverine, but that was such a short teaser for a game that's not coming out until, idk, 2024. And, of course, GoW.
Whatever they do this year will be better by default, as things are lining up and there's a variety of big projects that should be getting unveiled soon enough.
Honestly, they could just show FF XVI for two minutes, end the stream, and I'd already consider it the best thing they've done in years :P
It's like the Silent Hill HD Collection, except less fog in this particular case looks a bit nicer.
At least we know for sure Deathloop won't get another trailer again 😅
And I know the feeling about FFXVI, I need that trailer. First was so hype.
How dare you
But yeah if they merge them they will get a lot of view but people will start complaining so I think it's better to separate them so it won't have a lot of negativity
It's absolutely frustrating how many times I've had to use the PS5's zoom in feature to read the text on the scream.
Like, we've been gaming in this HD era for over a decade now. There's no excuse for developers to not include text scaling options for their entire game (and not just subtitles, but any game where you have some kind of data log, or menus with lots of text).
Not everyone sits two feet away from their screens, people. Man, it's one of my biggest pet peeves of modern gaming.
The worst is definitely when it's something like an RPG with lots and lots of extra stuff to read (I'm thinking of Elden Ring and Horizon: Forbidden West, which has a LOT of scrolls and data logs to read; the font size isn't actually too bad in those two, but a few options to increase the text size would have been nice regardless). It's even crazier, because I have a 50" 4KTV. No reason for me to have to use the zoom in function to read text on certain games!
The easiest way to get me to ignore all of that wonderful lore you've written for your game is to make text for ants.
I can't wait for the Xbox Showcase to see Deathloop again. 🙃
This is a great allegory on our climate crisis, also reminds me of the frustration of the characters in Don't Look Up.
I know ya'll joking but this game DESPERATELY needs DLC lol The ending damn near ruined the entire game for me
Yeah, it's one of those things that's gotten better but still a long way to go. I'm not a big fan of massive loads of text for lore anyway, I skim over it if it's non-essential. I appreciate lore when it's delivered in far more interesting ways, like a cutscene or lines of dialogue.
But at least text in a game was never as bad as this Sony title
Try to figure out what the options below "continue" are. This is what happened to the majority of users who did not own a HD TV in the PS2 era.
I hope we get some freaky practical effects and animatronics from the Clickers and Stalkers in the HBO series. That's one of the things I liked about Dawn of the Dead (2004) and the original George Romero films compared to modern zombie films; how much more creative they were with the make-up.
A lot of that is self defeat. They threw puppeteer and sly 4 out to die on PS3 when everyone was thinking about PS4 and then put Sackboy out with little fanfare amidst a sea of PS5 launch titles. If they get a big studio on a new 3d platformer and give it its own window I could see them making a huge splash. The genre is hungry for a newcomer that's actually a big game and not a smaller AA title.
Also I loved crash collection but damn that latest game was one of the most infuriating releases in recent years. I didn't even finish it and crash 3 is one of my favorite games ever. Disgusting drop in quality from the ND games
Wait... how do I use this feature? Wouldve come in handy a few times instead of getting up from my couch to then stand a foot away from my TV looking like an idiot.
I was already meh about half way though I wouldn't mind some DLC though.
Getting now for sure
I haven't experienced the Syphon Filter games but I see it released on PS1, PS2 and PSP. I'm going to assume trophies were never introduced for it? Could this me the first peep of Sony's intentions to introduce trophies to legacy titles?
Same. The Grounded documentary was so good, and I'd love it if they had one for TLOU2. Hell, even just a round table discussion with the devs about the development of the game would be fascinating for me!
I absolutely love this new push in games to improve accessibility for more players.
I've mentioned it before, but one of the things I'd love to see is if we could get some sort of standardized tools to use when designing our games. Not all studios have the resources to devote to the level of accessibility we're seeing from ND, IG, SSM, and GG, so if there were some tools created that allowed for some base level automation of accessibility functions, while also being granular enough to be customized on a project to project basis, it'd be a big boon to the industry as a whole.
Gaming is for everyone, and being able to expand the reach to more players, and allowing them to participate in this hobby that so many of us are passionate about is worth whatever time/resources/budget needed to make that happen for them.
I know the last two or so years have really opened my eyes as a designer when it comes to accessibility and my thinking surrounding it.
It really is, and is one of the reasons why I dig the story of Forbidden West so much, and why I don't really understand some of the hate the narrative gets. For me, I feel like it has a lot more to say compared to the first one (and I love the story of the first; one of my favorite narratives of the PS4 generation), but I'm always up for a good environmental story, and the world building and cast of characters in Forbidden West are so strong that, so far in my progress in the narrative (I think I'm about halfway through), I'm enjoying the game more than the first in all areas.
Yeah, it's one of those things that's gotten better but still a long way to go. I'm not a big fan of massive loads of text for lore anyway, I skim over it if it's non-essential. I appreciate lore when it's delivered in far more interesting ways, like a cutscene or lines of dialogue.

Good lord, that's just atrocious lol
I didn't own an HDTV during the PS2 era, so I felt that pain, but it seems like it's a lot worse now. As a former QA Tester, I know that you're largely sitting just a few feet from your TV at your desk, so it may be easy to overlook overly small text, but we seriously need to start considering the fact that not everyone sits that close to their screens, and even on larger TVs, the text is still way too damn small!
If tasering people until they burst into flames is not on the list I'll be shocked.
But that's a great way to get people to buy the game, it should be a relatively easy get! (Syphon Filter is a pretty tough game though, but I don't picture anything that could be a massive grind or insane to get)
Same, haha. I have to get up, walk over and lean my head near into the TV on some games, especially if they have the dreaded small text/white font against an already whitish background.
If you hold the PS Logo button, and the Square Button, it will cause the screen to zoom. You can press that combination again up to, I believe 3 times zoom. It's really, really handy! When it's zoomed in, you can use the left analog stick to scroll around the zoomed in screen.
In completely unrelated news, I broke down and bought Ghostwire Tokyo on PS5 during the last sale it was on, and while I'm super early in the game, I'm really liking the atmosphere and style.
It reminds me a lot of a PS2 era game, and I mean that in a good way. It's also reminding me of a specific game I can't quite put my finger on. Something like a Shin Megami Tensei game, but not exactly that. It does feel like a Sega published game though, if that makes sense.
I just think it's refreshing in a market obsessed with super mega ultra deluxe eye-searingly spectacular blockbusters. I hope I have more time to dive into it later.
Yes! I hope they eventually do this for every classic game.
Non-believers said there would be no trophies on classic games
With save states coming to legacy games I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Sony are also going to be using save states for PS4/PS5 games as well. That way a games save state where you left off could be dumped into a file maybe around the size of a save game file and the ultra fast SSD could restore the save state in a couple seconds. It'd be cool to be able to share save states with friends or even post them online and download other peoples save states.
Yeah last week shipment was really bad but at least ps5 is still traking ahead of ps4 for now

Hopefully its something Sony does internally instead of having the devs do it. But I definitely don't expect every game to have trophies.
Oh no - I had not thought of this...
If it exists I will save that until last so the plat clip captures all the glory.
Seems like trophies will be for select games rather than all of them. That's a smart compromise imo
