I think overall this was a really great showing. I hope future SOPs are done in a similar manner and I hope there are more throughout the year this time.
The Stellar Blade trailer has me a lot more excited for it than before. Previous showings seemed to focus more on sexiness of the protagonist, and while that is still present here, I'm glad this showing showed other sides to the game.
SH Short Message finally appearing? Fantastic! Looks like a short title but hey, looks fun.
SH2 Remake - looks like a budget RE title now. Not necessarily a bad thing but makes me wish Sony did more with their emulation so the originals could be playable alongside these very different remakes.
Until Dawn - probably the most disappointing trailer. I just can't believe that this is what Balistic Moon is working on. It's the sort of title they'd be making, and I really hope they have an original game far in the pipeline (which is what I think we all assumed). UD is a fantastic game, but this doesn't look like we're getting anything fundamentally different from the original experience, which I think makes BM being on this all the more disappointing tbqh.
Death Stranding 2 - looks insane. I haven't been a Kojima fan for quite some time, but this makes me want to go back and play the original. it being 2025 was a little surprising to me (I figured 2024), but considering what was shown off, I can see why development may have taken longer than I thought.
Physint - honestly, when Kojima mentioned making an original action espionage, I was already all in. Even if I never get around to playing DS and DS2, I think I'm going to be totally into whatever this game ends up being.
Fantastic show. Sony and PS5 have good years ahead.
