Spider-Man 2 and a love of the PlayStation brand means this won’t matter to most, but from my point of view, Sony fluffed this big time.
I didn’t watch the PlayStation Showcase live for a number of boring reasons (one involves projectile vomiting, if you must know), but I watched it as if live this morning hoping a string of exciting announcements would lift my dreary bones. My bones were not lifted. In fact they spontaneously moved to form the exact pose of the shrug emoji.
If this was Sony’s big showcase for PS5 this year – its “E3 moment” – it was at best uninspiring, at worst worrying. It’s not that it didn’t highlight some great looking games, it just didn’t do much at all to get me excited about PlayStation – something the firm usually gets very right at its big reveal events.
Xbox was quick to point out the games highlighted last night that are also coming to Xbox. You may disagree, but this list of games is the majority of the best titles featured in the showcase.
I am excited about a number of these, for sure (Alan Wake 2, absolutely; Dragon’s Dogma 2, oh yes; Assassin’s Creed Mirage; Jim made me put in here), but usually these multi-platform big hitters are accompanied by the prestige PlayStation titles.
