The showcase shows off games that are coming out on PlayStation, not just games exclusive to the platform. This has never been the case nor was it ever implied as such. The same applies to Nintendo and Xbox. Sure, it would have been cool to see a few more big PlayStation Studios announcements, but at the same time I don't really want to see a bunch of games that are still years off or the developers aren't ready to show off. I don't intend to call anyone out, but really do believe people should learn to manage their expectations.
After almost 2 years without Showcase, in the E3 (this isnt the official E3 but it is, lets be honest, this is the E3 presentation) you cant just show a gameplay of Spiderman with PS4 graphics and say "hey bro, dont expect that much". Remember, this was Sony's E3. This guys were the king of E3 back in the day. The release dates are a joke, nowadays all the games gets delays, no one cares about it, forget about that.
When Nintendo makes his presentation, shows multiplat games and exclusives (Zelda, Mario, Bayonetta, Animal crossing, Fire emblem, etc etc), same with Microsoft (Halo, Gears, Forza, Starfield and whatever Bethesda is making) + gamepass stuff. That's a thing too right now. If they said "you know what, MGS3 and Dragons Dogma are gonna be day one in Playstation Plus" ((or whatever is called right now)) well, that's a thing, that's actually pretty cool. But wasnt the case). Here Sony presented just multiplats AAA and the only one with hype was leaked (MGS3) and was just a teaser that says nothing (who makes it? when? how? hello?).
It was crap. Because this means they dont have anything in the near-middle future, because we know (oh hell we know, E3 2015...) that Sony sells you Heaven with 2 cents. If they cant sell a thing, it's because there's nothing at all. Just look what they did with MGS3. And look what they did in 2015. They had Microsoft on the floor after the failure of Redfall, and they said, with some big ball, "bro, make some space on the floor for me, i have nothing".
And you could say "well, but games nowadays takes lot of time to develop, this isnt 2005 or even 2009 anymore". Yes. Okay. But Nintendo does it. Are they machines? Or is it because Japanese are a superior race? Or maybe Nintendo spends millions in people making games for them?
And Microsoft bought stuff to do it too and that's actually the main critic to Microsoft right now, the delay in games lately having lots of studios.
If Sony wants to develop games more frecuently, then use some of the money of the 120 million consoles sold last generation and buy some studios, because buying the exclusivity of games I think isnt a choice anymore except for Square, and honestly, looking at the Square's games lately... Idk if that's something good at all. If Sony doesnt want to do this, then Sony will have to come here, make a shitty event after 600 days and receive all the shit in social media, because thats what they wanted. They prefered this instead of spending money. "The insults and bad image its cheaper" they thought. And thats alright, but you gotta take the shit too, you cant scape from that. I'm sorry but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
I dont know if the VR2 games are cheap and they want to fool people into buying them, or if they REALLY are into this VR stuff. If it's the first option, thats bs, if it's the second option, I think that's a mistake, VR isnt a thing right now and wont be in the next 10 years best case scenario.
