The good:
- Excellent presentation format.
- Heaps of game announcements and exclusives.
- Astro's Playroom preloaded may prove brilliant for marketing the IP.
- Horizon 2 is living up to my graphics expectations.
The bad:
- No release dates/window announcements is somewhat concerning (apart from the Spider Man expansion thing which looked so PS4)
- Only Horizon screamed "NextGen" to me. Ratchet and Clank warp mechanics aren't possible on last gen systems but they seemed pretty gimmicky from what was shown.
- GT7 looked AWFUL. Those pop-ins...
- Most gameplay videos may just be some in-engine bullshit not entirely representative of the actual graphics.
The ugly:
- Lack of Silent Hill killed me inside... and yet I continue to believe :(
- Despite my major excitement for it, Demon's Souls doesn't look aesthetically faithful to the original.
- I'm indifferent to the console design.
All in all, possibly the best console reveal of all time, if mainly because console reveals are generally lackluster.

Rewatch on 4k, several of the AAA wouldn't be possible on PS4 without major cuts. But yes I agree Miles's SM looked a PS4 polished game.

Watching in 4K did not change my mind that these games could not be done on the PS4. We have seen game engine scale for decades on the PC. Just adding more polycount doesn't mean these games could not be scaled down for the PS4. If TLOU2 is any indication, then nothing shone outside ratchet and clank appear that its really dependent on the PS5 SSD. Sony is coming out with a lot of games which is great but without any release window, I am not all that hyped for their big exclusives. I do not expect to see them for another 2 years at the least and thus not in a hurry from what was shone to purchase a PS5 on release. I can easily hold out for 2 years until the big guns show up.
