Tom Philips from Eurogamer : "Sony has 1st and 3rd party stuff still to announce, feels like it has quite smartly held some stuff back"
- Thread starter Dust
- Start date
Eeeh that's based on something called "my opinion" :P
I like what I've seen and I'm excited for what's to come
i dont expect many new game announcements from sony at the august state of play. maybe 1 new game that is a bit further off (like fall 2021).
what i expect, is a ton of gameplay from the launch titles: spider-man mm, destruction all-stars, returnal, kiera, dark souls and maybe real gameplay from horizon 2.
it seemed weird to me that many launch games had almost no gameplay during the june showcase.

2021 is next year, it is not that far way.
But that game is not coming in 2021, it is most likely coming in 2022.
Hence why I said it's so "very far out"
GoW2 is not going to move the needle for people considering picking up the PS5 this year. That was my whole point.
That's fair enough. One bitten, twice shy. And yes, they do need to 'prove it' but I don't really think they're gonna fall and trip now that all the hard work from the last few years is almost done.
Agreed, in fact I'd say GoW2 is late 2022 earliest. It'll move the needle on a PS5 pro but shouldn't/won't factor into most people's buying decision for the base PS5 this year.
I like it long and slow, if you will, so am enjoying the console daddies taking their time giving me the goods. Which is to say - I hope they show some awesome games I want to play.
At worst it'll be a timed exclusive. I doubt you'll see many, if any, third party exclusives. Too expensive for devs to do that unless Sony pays them an insane amount of money (unlikely)
I mean... at this point you SHOULD know better lmao
When was the last Sony-developed RPG?
Internally-developed? Legend of Dragoon. Externally-developed? Bloodborne (technically), then White Knight Chronicles 2 before that. It's like the one genre they seem unwilling to even try to engage.
Good plan
Announce the price wit a whole new set of games and it will be a killer one two from Sony.

So even if we count Bloodborne, that was 2015. And the offers during the previous gen (PS3) had already been somewhat slim to begin with.
Expecting more RPG's from them feels pretty pointless. Maybe they'll surprise us all, but chances seem low tbh.
I think it's a very smart move. I also have the sneaking suspicion that the PS5 might be capable of more tricks than have revealed thus far, if true it would definitely help bring massive attention back to PS5 in the case the Microsoft event delivers.
Sony might have been subtly been hinting at it all along, and it has everything to do with why Shakespeare's The Tempest seems to feature so heavily into everything related PS5, even being codenamed Prospero a figure with great magical power:
"Graves at my command have waked their sleepers, oped, and let 'em forth, by my so potent Art." - Act V, scene 1.
I wonder if the Tempest Engine with it's Cell-like SPE architecture, might even double as some sort of hardware emulation of the PS3's innards. Time will tell if this is just wishful thinking. But if the PS5 would enable some sort of BC for all the previous generations, this would undoubtedly be truly massive.

Don't wanna rain on anyone's parade here.. But, isn't this completely and utterly obvious?
Sony has received, deservedly, flack for announcing titles that are/were years and years away from release. It's smart of them to improve on that, because, in the end, Sony has an amazing portfolio of studios. They must have A LOT of stuff in the pipeline.

If you only use this site for the barometer to gauge how the Ps5 reveal was, than sure it didn't. The general populace actually like the design and what they saw
But every multiplat will run at the same frame rate on PS5 as well. Dirt 5 also will be 120fps on PS5.
Well yeah. Jim Ryan referred the to PS5 event as a "first glimpse" so they obviously got a lot more to show.
Silent Hill or whatever Toyama is working on is definitely one if the big ones.

So Sony may have a additional event after August around TGS aimed more at Japan and Asian market.
To be fair, every E3 conference ever has the company holding it saying "we'll have much more to share later", and 99% of the time there isn't much to show that year.
But, this year everyone seems to agree that Sony has a few big things still in store, and Jeff Grubb said before the June event that Sony was planning for it some huge-ass showing but split it in two because of Covid (if you're gonna throw a huge physical event, you show everything there, if it's gonna be digital spacing it out makes sense).
Now, if we assume that that's really what happened, Sony either put everything worth a look in June knowing full well they'd only have crumbs left for August (which seems like an odd way to do things), or they tried to balance things out a bit and both shows will have plenty.
There will be a continious focus on smaller games for the next 2 years, otherwise they wouldn´t have launched the "Playstation Indies" program...
it will be the exact same as with the PS4 start: many cross gen games, some "ultra definitive" editions of older games and many indies to pad out droughts between exclusives. "real" next gen will be rolling from 2022 onwards.
One would hope. There's still a lot to know about the system and the launch lineup.
Their first show sold me on the notion that Sony is bringing some strong first party content in the first year, but seeing more along with more specifics on the systems and services seems like a necessary event.
This is a very enthusiast perspective. A lot of people here were never open to an argument for the opposite console to begin with and dug in with with their talking points as soon as information was released. So of course it seems like everyone here has already made their decision.

This.
If they show everything then they will have nothing to show for a while to come.
Then people will just whine about there being no new announcements.
GTA5, Elder Scrolls 5, PS5. It all makes sense. Also Resident Evil 5.
lol....I think you might be looking at this the wrong way. It's just business.
