PS5 Showcase - Wednesday Sept 16

[Darashiva]

-FF XVI pretty much marks the point where I'll have to seriously consider getting a PS5, so that's in instant system seller for me.
-Miles Morales looks cool, but I still haven't played the PS4 Spider-Man, so not in that much of a hurry to get to that one.
-Hogwarts: Legacy looks like it could be good, but hard to really say from the trailer. However, I bet WB has been having field day with Rowling burning bridges left and right over the last several months and making people look at Harry Potter in a much less positive light.
-Not much to say about Call of Duty. It's CoD, don't really care one way or another.
-RE VIII is another game that looks really cool, the setting is much more interesting than in VII.
-Deathloop could be great considering the developer, but I'm not really feeling the setting or basic concept. Have to wait and see.
-I've only ever played a demo of the first Oddworld game, so I don't really have that much nostalgia or connection to the series, but what they are showing looks interesting. I did like what little I played, so maybe I'll get around to Soulstorm at some point.
-Can't say I expected to see Five Nights at Freddy's at the showcase. Not really my thing, but good for anyone who likes them.
-Demon's Souls remake is the second big system seller for me here. I never had the chance to play the original, and this one looks excellent. Bluepoint are the best when it comes to remakes.
-The PS Plus Collection seems like a really cool additional incentive for early adopters. I won't be getting the game anywhere near launch, so doesn't matter much to me, but for anyone who will I think it's a nice feature.
-The price and launch dates were pretty much what I expected.
-2021 release for the next God of War

Overall, a very good presentation. FF XVI and Demon's Souls were the best things on the show for me. If I'd have to guess right now, I'll probably get the PS5 around christmas 2021 or early 2022. Don't see much reason to get it earlier.
