Tom Philips from Eurogamer : "Sony has 1st and 3rd party stuff still to announce, feels like it has quite smartly held some stuff back"

We already got gameplay for GT7. Much prefer they showcase something else.
Sony did have their showcase and by all metrics it was a big success. This August SoP seems to be a continuation of announcements.
They've shown one lap in cockpit view. They also didn't talk about any of the new features.
Kena, Horizon, Gran Turismo, Spider-Man Miles Morales, RE8, etc... were trending on Twitter for hours after the show
Saying the event didn't set the world on fire is just false lol
If this event didn't set the world on fire with 7M viewers, so almost all others events aired in the past years were just anecdotical
Mid August -" Microsoft held back game announcements, stroke of genius."
marketing wars have begun

Pretty much. I thought the event was extremely boring personally but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend people weren't hyped for it. The response was massive.
Well they certainly need it, so many "cinematic" 3rd person games are getting old, they need to try new genres.
You are right, you make a good point but those Xbox games you mentioned are huge. If those 3 get announced it will generate massive hype for Microsoft and their fans will be delighted with that, throw in a quick look at the next Forza and it could well be one of the best Microsoft events to date.
It's literally ONE poster but nothing ERA likes better than going on about that for three pages.
We are not getting these launch prices until October huh?
these two are just going to go back and forth

Lol okay? Game is dropping soon, they're gonna give you that gameplay and you're gonna take it.
I'm officially caught up in next-gen hype! Microsoft and Sony trying to one-up eachother can only be good for me.
The buzz, excitement, numbers generated from their June event directly contradicts this.
PS5 reveal definitely did not deliver on the expectations.
Go back and read the OT of the event.
Annecdotaly speaking , friends and family weren't excited by any of the game reveals

It literally broke records for a gaming event. People were enthusiastically discussing the contents on social media in huge numbers. Come on, its as close to setting the gaming world on fire as you can get with a console reveal.
Looks at post count, yup new member, same old shtick.
No, their showing was what MS needed to have. It showed a variety of games, most with some sort of gameplay. And a good mix of small indie, AA-AAA games from first party and third.
Almost unanimously on social media it was received super positive. I mean Digital Foundry and The cherno went in deep with some of the games that obviously had ray tracing and were native 4k.
But it actually did, social media lit up, tens and tens of millions of views on their yt videos. GT7, Spidey Miles, Ratchet and Horizon 2 were all massively well receviced. Throwing more at it last month wouldn't have achieved anything better than they could have wanted in that time frame, holding back stuff to reveal constantly is always a win when you can afford to do so.
heh, good one.
PS4 buzz felt a lot stronger. Though maybe that was down to how bad Mattrick did and how Sony basically did the exact opposite everywhere. Plus I guess I'm in a bubble for this stuff
Ah, the Sony "cinematic" exclusive "3rd person" rhetoric strikes again!
Yep, it is like looking at a wall with nine identical cinematic tiles
The reality is that it has been really well-received. I mean, they had Horizon 2, a new Spider-Man, GT7, Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil Village, new IP from Square and Capcom as well as the console itself. What expectations did you have?
Didn't the event generated like 18 million viewers total? I would say it was a success for Sony.
Pretty much, it was a solid event that was nowhere close to living up to expectations of a pre-next-gen games showcase. It'll be interesting to see if MS goes all out with their event and what the reaction will be to that and how people compare it to the Sony event.
nah, it was good. The only thing that would have made it better received would have been a new Naughty Dog project, which obviously isn't possible right now.
Just for the pure drama of it all I'd love to see Sony announce PS5 price and date, or a major PS5 exclusive, during the 7/24 Xbox show or right after.
Hoping we get Silent Hill and i would be down for Days Gone 2.

Or an actual exclusive RPG. That would've added a lot. :/
There's tons of stuff that could have made it better (Silent Hill being another example), but from a general audience perspective, it was solid.
