Was mostly looking at it from a pacing viewpoint, but I did enjoy the content as well. My only real issue with the PS Showcase as a presentation was the pacing and order of trailers which created a really weak boring middle. I think I'm also probably less critical of Nintendo because it's not my main console and I'm kind of okay with it just being a portable for my occasional platformers and an emulation machine, so I have zero expectations and am happy with whatever I get. Wolverine was the super hype moment for me, but that felt like the only real surprise for me. I think I definitely am more critical of Sony though because PS is my main console, and because I was waiting for a showcase for so long. With Nintendo it was more just like, "Oh, cool, there's a Direct." Still stand by my point on pacing though with my bias aside.

I got the same feeling. I enjoyed the Nintendo Direct more, Got a good mix of prior announced games and new games coming out and the best thing is the new announcements also aren't far off. Didn't feel like Nintendo was trying to overwhelm audiences with the same games too and they're also better in show casing content throughout the year with less reliance on a singular event so expectations weren't as high.

I mean no offense but your issues with pacing and surprise moments etc all stem from one thing, preference. Era is a bubble but many games that took up the middle part of the PS conference interests different demographics. For example, I don't find borderlands appealing at all. But I also understand millions love it and buy it. It's a 'pacing' issue if you don't like the content in the middle. Simple as that. I found the latest direct to be all over the place for the same reason. Very few games I would personally find interesting so anything else just dragged it down for me..heck even bayo looks very disappointing.

Either way, let's just agree to disagree. This is derailing the thread and has nothing to do with PS after all.

I think the surprise moments issue can definitely come from my preference, but the pacing issue was mostly because they deliberately grouped first party stuff all together in the end, leaving the middle with already announced 3rd party games that were probably there for marketing deals(Guardians of the Galaxy, Alan Wake Remaster, Deathloop (again), R6 Extraction, Tiny Tina(but this might have actually been first gameplay).

Okay, I'll stop now because you are definitely right because I definitely expect to derail the thread this much 😅

Ayyy..they didn't even swap the button prompts for the Castlevania Collection on Playstation so they had to put up a page informing to people that O = A and X = B

Omg. Why can't Konami go a few months without doing something hilariously frugal (and usually highly questionable)? You can't exaggerate their track record, man.

I think you'd definitely have people who'd get angry. But if Sony announced a service and said "You'll be able to play PSone, PS2, PS3, PSP and Vita games", then I think you'd have more people who were excited about it than not. Sony has one of the craziest back catalogs in gaming, so bringing those altogether in a service would be very appealing to people who want to play those games but can't find the consoles or games without paying ridiculous prices.

Hasn't that been the rumor about ps now for a few years? That they'd put up ps2 and ps one games as well? I'm not saying it has any validity, but I'm pretty sure that lingered for a bit.

People in that thread aren't too happy but I suspect they'll end up paying more. Honestly. I'm more than fine with it and straight up subbed to the service a few minutes ago lol. I also want those damn controllers.

But yea the best part about the Direct imo were Bayo 3 and that looked rough and them bringing 64 and Genesis games. Hopefully they add more platforms and update more often.

Knowing how people react to Sony's actions, I think we would see a lot of compliment like "I already own the game, why I should pay more?", "This list of games is trash", "Sony doesn't know how to make BC" and so on.

Square's mismanagement of their Western studios completely baffles me. I sadly wouldn't be shocked if they start selling them off in a few years. There only western games/franchises that have been pretty successful for Square Enix recently has been Life is Strange and those games are from studios they don't even own.

We'll settle this with a scientific* examination of geoff keighley's Twitter polls on the two





*and by scientific I mean not scientific at all and completely just for fun :)

So is the original KOTOR not getting a playstation release? I know Aspyr usually announces these things at Directs and the ps4 version shows up later, but they would be a bit funny (and make me a bit sad) considering Sony is publishing the remake.

It's very weird how the original is available on pretty much every platform except PlayStation. The game is available on Xbox, PC, Mac, IOS, Android, and now Switch.

This is the PS OT, but I'm sorry, I can't stop fucking laughing at the casting for the Mario movie.
