Your top showings from the PS5 reveal event

[Seymour Demonica]

Definitely:

Ghostwire Tokyo
Deathloop
Resident Evil 8
Demon's Souls
Sackboy: A Big Adventure

- They definitely took inspiration from Super Mario 3D World/Odyssey with Sackboy. Wonder if they'll keep any of the level building aspects as a secondary mode?

- Ghostwire Tokyo was, easily, the most interesting looking of that bunch. Hope it's more than just flash, though.

- I got Demon's Souls and it has me. Good god, yes.

- RE8 already giving off an RE4 x RE7 vibe. I think the shift to infected that can transform into werewolves will feel more natural than one would expect.

- Deathloop just looks fucking fun, motherfucker.

I was super into what they showed of Kena: Bridge of Spirits! Looks lovely. All around the presentation was really good in my opinion.

 

[RiffRaff]

Cyberkitty was easily number one for me. It's like they hacked my brain!

Horizon looks dope
Deathloop looks cool as fuck
Demon's Souls- Chills!
and Jett: The Far Shore looks really interesting.

All in all, one hell of a showing and besides driving and sports and that Fortnight looking game, I want everything else!

Gonna grab the one with the disc drive probably.

 

[Seymour Demonica]

Can't believe I forgot about Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart!

Sad that they've run out of innuendos to stick into their subtitles.

 

[MajorTomsCoffeeCup]

Definitely Demon's souls and Resident Evil 7

 

[Nag]

Resident Evil VILLAGE and Horizon Forbidden West by far... funny thing is I'll be buying RE VIII on Series X.

 

[sweaty dungus]

Big highlights for me:

Bugsnax (awarded slop dungleman's best of show)
Little Devil Inside
Deathloop
Solar Ash


yeah, ok. good:

Demon's Souls - happy to see it remastered, but a little torn on some of the artistic choices
Ghostwire Tokyo - Cautiously optimistic. Keeping an eye on this one.
REVIII - Looks alright. I'll play it.
The Capcom game that looks like a death stranding ripoff - seems kinda cool


The ugly:

Console looks like shit. Will probably cost an arm and a leg. Discless variant is subtly depressing.

Sad that they've run out of innuendos to stick into their subtitles.

So far the only thing they showed that make me think, "OK, maybe I will get one" was Ratchet and Clank.

 

[Granadico]

I fucking loved Hyper Light Drifter so Solar Ash is top for me, even though it's a multiplat indie. That Asian woman one looked like a cool Dreamworks movie was pretty cool too. Nothing was a system seller for me though, but I haven't been into Sony 1st party stuff since the PS2 so I didn't expect to be floored.

 

[Seymour Demonica]

Bugsnax (awarded slop dungleman's best of show)

Admittedly, I was in a state of minor cringe until I saw "From the creators of Octodad". Then, I started giving it a chance and ended up thinking it was pretty cute. Glad those guys finally made another game as they're good people. Octodad: Dadliest Catch was a long time coming since the original Octodad demo from, like, 2009 (before?) and so is this.

 

[Shibboletho]

Based purely on pedigree and standing interest, Solar Ash (Kingdom ) was my takeaway. Right behind that is Deathloop, because Arkane is my fucking jam. I'm surprised that both of those are console exclusive to Sony--specifically, Solar Ash is PS4/5 and Deathloop is PS5-exclusive. I was expecting multiplatform for both.

The biggest surprise for me was Little Devil Inside. I almost backed that game when it was on Kickstarter in 2015. It looked amazing at the time, but I thought it had completely died. I'm stoked for Little Big Witcher.

 

[Xeo]

If you know me the answer is probably an easy guess.

Demon's Souls Remake. I've wanted this for so long. I almost cried when the Tower Knight first came on screen while watching this. The original is one of my favorite games ever and it absolutely deserves (and sorta needs) a remake.

Resident Evil VIII and Capcom's other showing, the space game I can't remember the name of, both of those looked sweet too. And also the space game with the lady who keeps dying and waking back up. I don't remember it's name either, but it looked really cool.

 

[Cygnus Rush 961]

I would have to say Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Hitman 3, and GT7 are what have me interested. I know Hitman 3 will make it's way to the PC upon release, GT7 I want to see some more gameplay footage of so I can hear the in-game engine notes, Spider-Man: Miles Morales just to see how Miles comes into his own when he's everyone's favorite web-head.

Actually, Deathloop is just a timed-exclusive for PS5.

Once that banger of a theme song kicked in and the sandwich-snake appeared, only then was the full weight of the bug snack truly reckoned with. And at that point it had already stolen the show.

 

[DtoidJordan]

Some people out there are getting super nitpicky about Demon's Souls ("it belongs in a museum!"), but I'm more concerned about how it feels than any model or lighting changes. It looks so freaking good even if it's not 100% faithful to the original art direction. I just hope it plays well too.

Is it? That's good. I can't see Arkane doing a console exclusive. But to clarify, I was surprised and maybe a little disappointed that it won't be current-gen.

I'm just happy this remake is happening, period. It shows Sony and or From Software are listening to the hardcore audience as well.

Young Horses know how to bring the music.

 

[FakePlasticTree]

Definitely Demon's souls and Resident Evil 7

I’m sure you meant to say 8
