PlayStation Showcase Biggest Winners and Losers | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

The long-awaited PlayStation Showcase has come and gone, just like that. And while the event seems to have divided opinion among hardcore fans — like us! — we thought it'd be interesting to break the showcase down into two categories: winners and losers. Because even though the show as a whole might have broken more than a few hearts, we think it's sometimes a little unfair to lump everything together — especially when the event itself ran for over an hour.

So, without further ado, these are our PlayStation Showcase winners and losers...

Hideo Kojima may no longer be a part of Konami, but the games he made during his tenure were so good that they simply can't be left behind. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is real — a full current-gen remake — and the first three Metal Gear Solid games are going to be bundled together into one big PS5 collection, which just so happens to be launching this year. Franchise fans are loving life right now.

Sheesh, where do we even start with this one? The PlayStation Showcase opened with the reveal of the dreadfully named Fairgame$, and its shockingly uninspired CG trailer pretty much set a disappointing tone for the rest of the event. Now, we don't want to dump on a game before we've even seen it in action, but this is the «innovative» new PlayStation IP from Haven Studios, the developer Sony snapped up in 2022?

Just to recap, Fairgame$ is a competitive multiplayer heist game with a clear emphasis on attitude. Given the number of similar live service titles that get binned on a regular basis, it just seems like such a tone deaf move from everyone involved. We'd love to be proven wrong, but it's hard to have faith in Sony's live service plans if this is the kind of thing it's cooking.
