I think everyone would have been pleased with this presentation if they did a better job with expectations setting. People had pretty huge expectations going in and I don’t think this presentation met them.

The amount of new IP's shown at the conference was actually pretty strong. That's where Sony keeps reinventing themselves and have a lot of their current success. That being said, people are still expecting more blockbusters or familiar faces to go along with it which is where they keep falling short. No Final Fantasy VII Remake 2, Last of Us Factions, Wolverine, Knights of the Republic ect. Also no word from a lot of Sony's major first part studios which is getting annoying. Sony knows they are fine for the year just in Final Fantasy 16 and Spiderman alone but it would be nice to hear more.

What is up with so many of the first party studios? Naughty Dog is huge and their last new game was TLoU2 in 2020 (not counting the remake here). Blue Point released a game in 2018 and then in 2020. 2 years apart. Now it has been 3 years since their last release and we don't even have an announcement. And what is going on with Asobi? The PS5 pack in could not have taken all their manpower. So their last full big game was rescue mission, quite some years ago. Bend and Sucker Punch are also silent. A third of the generation might already be over.

the best 220 million spent maybe ever?

The only case ever, where spending 220 million seems like theft. Imagine how dire the PS5 line-up looked withouth them. We would have nothing to look forward to: I guess that firewalk shooter might be good. And I guess that haven shooter might be good. Two studios with no track record. That is all we would have. The Insomniac carry is insane.

I've told many that most of PS Studios have already released their major titles within the past couple of years. We're in the day in age where a AAA game can take at least 4-5 years. London Studio could've shown something. Maybe Team Asobi, Bend Studio, or Bluepoint if they are working on another remake, but that's about it. We're still talking only 2-3 years since these studios last games, so idk if we'll see anything from them till next year.

There's a reason why Jason Schreier said if a studio started development today on a AAA game, we wouldn't see it till the PS6. We'll be lucky if Naughty Dog releases another game this decade after Factions 2.

First people were complaining that Microsoft wasn't releasing enough AAA games despite all their studios, now people are saying the same about Sony. They're both wrong, IMO. AAA lead times keep getting longer but people's expectations aren't lengthening along with it!

well said, no productivity out of most studios during covid... just a mess (mass effect 5 isn't even out of pre-production and it has been 2+ years already)

Yeah, honestly, I also think that covid is a big contributor to projects taking way longer than originaly anticipated.

Most interesting games are Dragon's Dogma, Alan Wake and Towers of Aghasba.
Most trailers didn't show enough gameplay. And the Spiderman presentation was too long. Overall mediocre, not bad.
