We Talk Over: PlayStation Showcase

Let's see what PlayStation has in store for us! Will we get a new Knack? Perhaps Half-Life: Alyx makes its way onto PSVR2? MAYBE DARK CLOUD?

Let's discuss some new games and some press conferences!

I'm glad Bungie is bringing back the Marathon IP, but not like this... not like this. :(

"Zone of the Enders kicks ass."

Dan's right. 2 is one of Kojima's best games and more people must know.

Wait... are they in The Traveler?! I need to lie down with my Destiny feelings.

Uninspiring PlayStation VR2 segment, though I've read a thing that Arizona Sunshine (the first one) was kind of a hit?

Spider-Man 2 looking pretty great.

Selfishly, I do wish the presentation to PlayStation's showcases were better. Recent Nintendo Directs have nailed an easier-to-watch cadence of MC segments, headlines segments, and Important Announcements That Begin with Hard and Silent Black/White Frame. This is going to be a shitty thing to say: the headlines segments are a key pace setter in that they present a string of games that are... less important. A Beat Saber port could have been in a headlines segment, for example.

I’m surprised how much I want to play Alan Wake 2 now. Thought that would be an afterthought for me.

Ok seriously you have to do the simultaneous MGS games feature now. I’ve endured too many promises of a Nuzlocke run that have gone unfulfilled, stop teasing me!

Glad to see a look like that for Spider-Man 2. Hoping for a September release.

Dan's reaction to Metal Gear Solid Triangle was fantastic, even if it was just a CGI trailer.

It certainly was a choice for Sony to go ahead with this ‘showcase’, at least there’s still no need to spend big bucks on a next gen console.

at first i was disappointed that Marathon wasn't going to be a complete remake/redesign of the original bungie trilogy. but then i realized that bungie could take the concept of the Dark Zone in The Division and make it actually good - all with the Marathon lore behind it. hell yes.

For a showcase of games, there were a handful of titles I’d like to play, so not too bad. For a big Playstation Showcase though? Not very great.

I mean, Spider-Man 2 looks great, but I already expected that.

Nothing about the showcase stood out to me. Street Fighter 6 and Final Fantasy 16 are games I'm already planning to play. And I've gotten over getting excited for CGI trailers with no gameplay to show for it. Spiderman 2 looks like its going to be great, but they didn't have to show a whole set piece segment to convince me. Hopefully, I'll forget most of it before the game comes out. Of course, if that whole segment turns out to be pretty much at the beginning of the game, with a lots of other stuff to come, then cool. And I don't know yet how I feel about a MSG 3 remake. I think its a great game, but do we really need it?

Anyway, who is excited about Square-Enix Splatoon game? I know I am!

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, Alan Wake II looked pretty damn good. So I'll give the showcase that.

The weird by- product of Sony releasing their games on PC is that I, somebody who doesn't own a a Playstation, now find myself tuning in to all their press events.

... waiting for Bloodborne.

@splodge: It's another example of how a bunch of out-of-touch suits who want to resurrect the mummified corpse of a once-beloved IP might actually want to try playing the original before committing to whatever atrocity they seem to be putting out the door. Or at least look at a fucking screenshot.

Goddamn, everything about that trailer pisses me off.
