wow, that was so interesting! glad sony tries hard to bring new games to their current gen console! i mean wowzers, look at all those exclusives!.... and then look at the good one! (wait, was there one?)

You're acting like PS4 has no good exclusives & that this was the first announcement of titles after its initial release. Did you or anyone else think they were going to show a half hour full of previously unannounced AAA games? PS4 is nearly finished with its life cycle, what more were you expecting that hasn't already been announced?

Anything announced that wasn't a bloody VR game?

Crash team racing which I'm sure will be as good as Mario kart

I'd rather get it on Switch out or irony. Couldn't care less about VR.

This is a fair point. All I want now is that new MediEvil game and for the FF7 Remake to finish development, whether it turns out good or not.

And then I want PS5 to be backward-compatible with PS4 games, no reason it shouldn't be.

Trash Sony direct HAHA...I was so sure about this

Vhestal · Mar 26, 2019

Aside from the obvious Frank Sinatra reference. Seeing a Days Gone update is quite nice.

MagnesG · Mar 26, 2019

Should have copied Directs all the way from the messages and presentation. Specifically say this direct is heavy-VR from the get go, and less robotic speech, might as well make it cringe like all the conferences, worth it for the show.

I guess for the first episode it was okay, I applaud them for sticking with VR conservatively at least.

frostii · Mar 26, 2019

Nintendo has been kicking butt lately with their Directs. Sony should have used them as a guide, but I'm guessing they simply don't have enough quality content to talk about....

brunocar · Mar 26, 2019

jesus, this was the content they wanted to show of their new type of commercials off with? this was borderline depressing, nobody gives a shit about PSVR

Also rap music and Mortal Kombat = horrible combination! Stahp it Midway!

At least the first part was better.

Those titles are surely going to the PS5 as well. If MediEvil isn't just changing consoles altogether.

That's a good point.

Well, even just base on this thread, that isn't true.

Awful. Does anyone care about VR in 2019?

VR is the best gaming experience ever and Beat Saber is the only game which made me buy HTC vive. Love it.

Yr buying a ps5 to play ps5 games thers no need for backward compatible plus thers a reason company's may not do it as it wants gamers to focus on the new ps5 games and help boost sales

The only reason it made sense not to do backwards compatibility on PS4 is because PS3 had a unique architecture. PS5 will likely be AMD architecture just like PS4, so not including backwards compatibility would simply seem lazy. People want to be able to trade in their console for an upgrade without losing access to all their existing games. For people who didn't own a PS4, it just widens the library of playable games on their new system, and boosts overall sales as a result.

As said sony dont want gamers going into bargain bins looking for cheap ps4 games they've had ther day they want attention on selling ps5 games - and it's like if parents buying games for ther kids and finds out it plays ps4 games they may look at those games as it's a cheaper option

You might care if PS4 games continue to sell more than some PS5 launch titles, but I can guarantee you that Sony does not care. The money all comes back to them. More sales are never a bad thing.

Anyone expecting this to have E3 levels of reveals is deluded.

It was great for what it was, with a surprising focus on VR. Seems Sony are backing PSVR harder than they did for the Vita.

Blood & Truth is looking great
