Was this event really that bad anyway? I’m seeing quite a lot of disappointment on the likes of Twitter and Resetera and can’t actually tell if people are just doing it for a laugh/to troll, or if they actually found it that bad? I know the lack of gameplay wasn’t great (but I don’t recall the Sony event having loads of gameplay outside of Ratchet and Clank, little bit of Gran Turismo) but some people seemed to genuinely hate it? Sure it could have been better, but things could nearly always be better than what we end up with. Personally I was very happy with it, showed lots of good stuff coming in the future, not sure what’s out at launch besides Halo and The Medium).
I didn't find it bad at all, just nothing had that pit of the stomach fuuuuckkkk yeeeessssss next gen WOW factor I want before a new generation launches. That extends to the Ps5 event too, the only thing there which looked amazing was horizon, and mostly becuase I know they will deliver on it and it will be as good as they showed it to be. I we're so spoiled by how good things are now that games which would have looked jaw dropping 8 years ago, now barely register because it's only incremental changes on the surface.
For all the talk of biggest leap in generations, nothing gave me that millhouse in front of the tv feeling.
