Showcase 2023 Predictions & Rumours - PlayStation 5 (PS5) Forum - Page 3

This was… just don't do a showcase then.

They should have turned this into a Spider-Man State of Play, and release all the other trailers on the blog during the upcoming weeks and we all would've been «oh, that's nice» and maybe even remembered a few of them.

First, cinematic trailers for games. I have no clue what they're going to be just doesn't work anymore, or probably it never really worked. Especially when it's a cinematic trailer from a new studio for a new franchise. What do you expect me to feel?

Second, out of my top 5 of most hyped games from this showcase three of them were already announced. That's Dragon's Dogma, Assassin's Creed Mirage and Spider-Man — they did look very great might I add. And one of them was leaked all over the place, Metal Gear Solid 3, and it didn't have a decent trailer either. And then there's the only one great announcement, Talos Principle 2, which… you've guessed it: cinematic trailer.

And third, of course the question on everyone's lips, what are PlayStation's classic studios doing? It's not the fault of these new studios that I can't be excited for their game yet, I hardly know them. And it would've been no problem at all if one of them showed a cinematic trailer just to whet my appetite. If we just got a look at what Naughty Dog, Bluepoint, Bend, Santa Monica, Housemarque ot Team Asobi was working on. Sure, not all of them are close to releasing a game, but… really, some should. It's almost worrying.

They probably just shouldn't have bothered if none of their studios are ready to show anything. Just do a dedicated State of Play for Spider-Man 2 and leave it at that. I'm in the exact same state as before the 'showcase', in terms of games I'm looking forward to. Hopefully there
