SG 121 | Repasamos el Playstation Showcase + Debatimos lo que se presentó (& también lo que no)
Episode notes
The show reviews the 2023 PlayStation Showcase with a divided assessment: they acknowledge its brisk pace, numerous announcements and several interesting games, but feel the event fell short of expectations after nearly two years of waiting. Their main criticism concerns the lack of major PlayStation Studios surprises, the weight of teasers and cinematics, and a presentation that felt closer to a State of Play.
They devote attention to the PlayStation VR2 announcements, including Resident Evil 4, Beat Saber, Arizona Sunshine 2 and Synapse, although they miss an AAA exclusive that would justify the headset. They also discuss games such as Fairgame$, Helldivers 2, Phantom Blade Zero, Sword of the Sea, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Street Fighter 6 and Dragon's Dogma 2.
The closing section focuses on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: they highlight switching between Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the symbiote powers and the darker tone of the gameplay. Finally, they debate Project Q, the importance of its price and the need for more exclusive content for PlayStation virtual reality.
