Are they? I didn't see any exclusivity mentions when watching it. That sucks if true, but neither is a huge deal to me since they are both new IP. Deathloop in particular looked quite meh to me as a fan of Arkane's Dishonored games, somehow it managed to look worse graphically than the 4 year old Dishonored 2. Ghostwire Tokyo looked cool, but it's not hype enough for me to worry about it being timed exclusive. 

Meaning that we will be able to play these games on the Series X on XB1X mode and then receive a free smart delivery upgrade lol.

I saw some people saying that Batman was going to be shown at the Sony Event.

I liked Deathloop quite a lot, but it's hardly a system mover. Both of them being on PC makes it almost a non-factor.

Looked like a typical early Squeenix reveal too, meaning not worth talking about.

I assume Resident Evil 8 isn't timed exclusive or anything? Arguably the best looking game there. Though I personally loved every second of Ratchet & Clank.

Most pressing concern for me is that I want Hitman 3 on current gen with smart delivery etc.

As far as form factor, I'd be worried standing up the PS5 with the earthquakes/aftershocks we get here. Even laying it down looks like it'll be awkward. Really need to see it in a shelf.

Just looking at some pictures, I only just noticed it requires the circle stand even laying on it's side? What kind of console design is this lol!? Just looks so weird and awkward. Feels like I'd have a nightmare finding a spot for this.

For reference:

So, PS5 event was kinda meh. I've personally didn't expect it to be that bad as it turned out to be. Now it's time for MS to step up and go all out in July. The bad surprise is of course digital version of PS5. I expect it to be the way how Sony hits 399$ mark. And considering the brand power of PS this thing will definitely sell a ton. MS needs to think about the way how they can achieve 399$ for Series X as well.

I do feel like Sony was holding some stuff back for the August event maybe, where was Silent Hill? Now that'd be a megaton, surprised FF16 wasn't revealed either considering it was rumoured, not just from Rand but others (though no comment on exclusivity).

So should Microsoft hold back a little in July or just go all out? Halo Infinite, Hellblade II, Fable, Perfect Dark, Obsidian's RPG, Forza, Everwild, etc. show it all?

Even more curious about their respective launch lineups now too.

MS should go all out in July I think. Show 1st/2nd party games ranging from launch window all the way to 2022. Show 3rd party games from the launch window all the way to Holiday 2021. Go ahead and show Lockhart at the July event. But they should wait on console pricing until Sony announces first; since there are no rumors of a discless XSX, XSX needs to price match the discless PS5, or else they are really going to be hurting their sales.

Launch line-up wise, it's looking like:

PS5

  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Godfall

Xbox Series

  • Halo Infinite
  • Forza Motorsport 8 or Horizon 5
  • Gears Tactics console port

If Sony had anything else for launch, they would have announced it today I think, not saved it for August. 

Xbox also has Yakuza 7 which is not confirmed for PS5
