Unfortunately I was at work during the reveal event but I was checking the updates off and on and I was pretty impressed with what they showed off. I’m quite surprised at the number of people who commented that the event was a disappointment or that Sony really screwed things up. I really don’t know what more they could have done. Some people would complain even if they announced 50 new exclusives and s said they were sending a new PS5 for free to everyone in the mail tomorrow.
I was a little surprised that Horizon II was announced and “Spider-Man Royal” as I figured we all knew these were coming and I thought those respective sequels/expansions would come later at the second wave. Demons Souls, R&C, the obligatory Housemarque launch game was about all I expected. And it wasn’t even a given that we’d be shown the box and I’m glad they finally did so the masses would stop badgering Sony about that. I like the design just fine. It’s a wee-bit ostentatious for what I have in my media center, but it will grow on me. Overall, I think we can be pretty excited and it was an excellent event to get the next gen juices flowing! I’m closer to pre-ordering a launch system than I was before, that’s for sure.

The rumours on the new Spiderman is that it is really a new campaign based on the original Spiderman game, a bit like Uncharted Lost Legacy. Personally, I am fine with this and it means even more Spidey in the future!
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@RogerRoger Lol, Yeah I was unmoved by the GTA V announcement. At this point, it’s a personal quest I’ve taken upon myself to be the last person on earth who hasn’t played the game in some capacity. 😂
I’m sure the news got some of the crowd stoked, so I’m glad for them. Just keep the existing flow of sequels/remakes and new IP coming, Sony. I think they have a pretty good balance right now.
despite never having played any of the games before, I was rather captivated by the Oddworld trailer
Ya should definitely give Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (or the New 'N' Tasty remake though I can't comment on that personally(Though I heard it's a solid remake)) a try if you can @RogerRoger.
He's such a unique character and the puzzley/platformer gameplay holds up fairly well I thought though Soulstorm seems to have really upped the cinematic style to it.
Sackboy was the one I really wasn't expecting. It reminded me of the excitement I used to get looking at pics of Bug and Clockwork Knight while waiting for the Sega Saturn. Can't wait to play it with the kids. I showed them that and Ratchet and Clank this morning and their faces lit up. Ten minutes later my youngest announced he's written his Christmas list
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Don't worry - after playing SotC on PS4, I believe Bluepoint are one of the most talented studios out there. I never would have thought the remake could better the original. I couldn't be more confident about this Demon's Souls re-jig
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@KratosMD
The second I saw LBP for the first time I went absolutely mad for it, probably one of my most anticipated games ever, and it didn't disappoint, so I'm definitely looking forward to giving this a go.
Ha, I have to say some of my favourite gaming moments have been with GTA5 playing online. Playing with a big group off another forum I used made for some of the most hilarious moments I've had, and completing the online heists with the same three people was also great fun. I even re-bought the game on PS4 and replayed the whole campaign in first person mode.
From the snippets of stuff I've seen, I'm intrigued by the new Oddworld game. The original Oddworld game has a special for me as it was one of the few games my dad would play with me and the whistling/farting always made me laugh. I still need to play through New 'n' Tasty at some point on the PS4.
But damn, that is one ugly looking console. I hope they have a black version of it! They really seem to have gone all in on Astro Bot to design a console on him
The first thing the wife said when she saw the pic was that it wouldn't be allowed on display in the living room..

@Th3solution I agree with you there, it seems people will just hate on something because they can. I mean if there was something that you did not find interesting, that could be que to start a new hobby. Not every game announced was for me, but I was expecting that and there were enough titles that did to get me hyped. I think after all the drama over the past few months, we've needed something too look forward to like this.
Anyone else notice the lack of traditional shooters? I wonder if that had anything to do with the riots in America?
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I quite enjoyed the presentation and a decent showing of games. Some of the clips, like GT7 i am going to go back and watch in 4k. Ratchet and Clank looked pretty amazing, the instantaneous shift in perspective and environment is cool. I've bought spiderman for ps4 so a lost legacy esque version of add on for ps5 would be appreciated! HZD fw looks cool too, with reworked human ai that game could be dynamite! All that said, not sure there was a killer app, have to get this console this Christmas shown. Probably how cyberpunk performs this gen might be key, if its clear it needs more powerful kit to run, might push me next gen. Oh and actually, I'm quite happy about gta online for plus, though I'm worried there is a trend for remasters on ps5 that you have to pay for vs updates from Microsoft if you own content already.
@R1spam Yeah, Microsoft’s BC is brilliant, even games like Skate 3 are on Xbox One, when that series has been abandoned for years. I hope Sony share a bit more details about their BC, it’s a big one for me.
@RogerRoger Honestly, GTA V’s single player is a perfectly serviceable game and I really enjoyed my time with it on PS3. With mods on PC, it’s utterly brilliant. The Spider-Man mod was giving me my swinging fix way before the PS4 game!
Important to note that Ghostwire Tokyo isn’t an exclusive, it’s also launching on PC. Wonder how many others will be console exclusives as well. Have to say, as a PC player, I’m looking forward to both consoles releasing their games on PC as well 😂
Anyone think it's odd that it's pretty much 5 years since Arkham Knight and we still don't know what Rocksteady are working on? Thought something might have shown up at yesterday's event but I suppose Microsoft might have thrown some money to market it at their next stream. Not sure where else it could show up and WB hasn't mentioned any event of their own.
