Grade the PS5 Conference

[FloatingWaffles]

9/10 for me, thought it was great. One major thing that this presentation fixed for me is the diversity in Sony's lineup. I was getting tired of most of their big games that get shown off being the 3rd person cinematic story driven open world games, sure 99% of them are amazing but I want to see other things as well, but instead here we actually got VERY good variety of things shown: Ratchet & Clank, a new Astro Bot game, a new Sackboy platformer, Gran Turismo 7, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon 2, Demon's Souls, and a lot of other cool creative games. THIS is the type of show i'd love to see from Sony more often, ones that have games in genre's that appeal to every crowd.

Pros:
- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart looks incredible and I loved seeing proper gameplay of it. The SSD tech looks amazing but did seem a little hiccup-y when transitioning from the different world segments.
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure was a COMPLETE surprise as I honestly thought the series was dead after LBP3 and this literally had me cheering (same with R&C). It might not be a traditional LBP game but i'm excited to see it be explored in a different platforming style. The name is sort of trash tho, could have easily been something like LittleBigPlanet: Sackboy's Adventure.
- Spider-Man: Miles Morales looks great, doesn't seem like it's Spider-Man 2 necessarily but still a great thing to have for the launch.
- Horizon: Forbidden West had a great trailer but would have liked to see gameplay.
- Glad they finally showed us what the box looks like, wasn't bad looking either.
- Destruction All Stars looked fun as hell.
- Bugsnax is unique af.
- Astro's Playroom (another name i'm not a fan of), really glad to see more platformers from Sony and the fact that this one is seemingly not only stuck to PSVR this time.

Neutral:
- Demons' Souls Remake looks cool (though I personally would have liked to see Bluepoint doing anything but a Souls game) but was once again just a trailer with no gameplay.
- Gran Turismo 7 seemed alright but I think could have had a better showing.
- It was cool to see a new IP already in Returnal but for me personally i'm tired of the whole time travel repeating same day scenario that feels overdone at this point, but need to see more of the gameplay.


Cons:
- Starting with a 1-2 minute trailer of just GTA V footage just to say it's coming to PS5 without even showing any PS5 gameplay was weird and pointless.
- A lot of the trailers they showed were also like Inside Xbox where they still didn't contain much gameplay.
- Godfall continues to be a mess in terms of not only what the game itself is but the way they are continuing to market it, I have no idea what this game is going for.
