They didn't even mention PS2 during the entire presentation because it's already a done subject. Games will slowly trickle out, and they'll cost $9.99 to $14.99 a piece. I mean, PS2 was covered a couple days ago.
As for the conference, I rate it about 8.5/10 for announcements. Ni no Kuni 2, Ace Combat 7, Ni-Oh, FF7 Remake, Yakuza 0, more Ratchet & Clank, more Battleborn with open beta details, good looking indies, and more. It was great for game announcements. I personally wasn't expecting a bunch of megatons like everybody else seemed to, so I enjoyed what I saw. I mean, c'mon, it seemed like people were expecting a new God of War, two completely new IP reveals, and the announcements of a dozen remakes and continuations of dead series. It isn't Sony's fault that you are completely incapable of keeping your expectations in check.
In terms of presentation, I give the conference about a 7/10. It started and ended strong, but the VR portion was really poorly done, while the Capcom portion dragged on way too long for a single game that is already well covered and into development with a release date only two months out. I appreciate that they consolidated the indie portion, and that they at least had a strong closer in place by having Ni no Kuni 2 as the penultimate announcement. I think they hurt VR though with this presentation, and it will take a lot of work leading up to launch to convince us that VR won't become the next platform for lazily developed indies and small scale projects.
