It was very underwhelming. I might end up going halves not long after launch as my girlfriend is more excited (for Spiderman and Demon's Souls, and then Horizon) but if it were my decision alone I definitely wouldn't be buying in any time soon. Not just a sparse launch line up but lacking almost any exclusives announced completely.
I thought Final Fantasy was a weak opening. I'm interested in the game, sure, but it's simply not the technical showcase it once was is it? It looked
worse than XV if anything. No mocap, not even lip synced, and the voice acting didn't sound particularly aspirational.
I'm not overly familiar with the evolution of COD but it now looks very Far Cry which is not what I thought the game was. Any semblance of "realism" seems to have disappeared. Maybe it was just the demo being on easy mode but the "charge straight into gunfire" gameplay isn't what I was expecting. The demo in general was frustrating anyway for being so unrealistic with its cinematic smooth camera pans unlike anyone has ever played a game!
Demon's Souls suffered from unrealistic gameplay trailer footage too. Why did they have the HUD turned off? Why were they apparently OP and killing everything in one hit? It just annoys me
PS+ Collection sounds neat but I want to know more - like, what actually is it? Is it the start of a to be expanded gamepass like feature, or is it just a once-and-done collection of free PS4 games to play on PS5? The latter has almost no interest to me because I already own most of the games they showed and don't have any interest in the others!
The suggestion of higher game prices also makes no sense combined with the promise of free upgrades from PS4. So... just buy the cheaper PS4 version and upgrade every time. Idgi.
There's just no wow factor with this new generation
The visual upgrade is the smallest its ever been and there aren't really any exclusives to try and get excited about
