A Look Back at 2020's PlayStation Showcase

gamerant.com:

Before the release of the PlayStation 5, Sony held a showcase titled «Future of Gaming», whetting the appetites of gamers by giving them a taste of what they could expect from the incoming gaming generation. There were several games from Sony's first-party studios shown, including Insomniac and Guerrilla Games. However, Sony also gave plenty of time for third-party studios to show off what they had planned for the PS5. As far as gaming events go, the June 2020 PlayStation showcase was successful in making the PS5 appear as though it would serve up incredible gaming experiences.

Roughly two years later, enough time has passed for gamers to get comfortable with the PS5. It is useful to look back at the pivotal showcase to see how much of it has been realized, how much is still in development, and how much has disappeared off the face of the Earth. Though some projects are still in limbo, most have been released, and gamers have had the chance to judge them.

Quite a few first-party games were shown, and almost all of them have lived up to the high expectations that surrounded them. Insomniac stood out by showing two games, namely, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Spider-Man Miles Morales, and since their release, both games have been well received. Spider-Man: Miles Morales served as the perfect cross-gen bridge to keep Spider-Man fans occupied until the sequel, while Ratchet & Clank and its warping illustrated the potential of the PS5 with its SSD.

Guerrilla Games also made an appearance with Horizon Forbidden West. Players got to experience the beautiful environments displayed in the announcement trailer, and Aloy's new story was bigger and better than what came before.
