Again I know this is a little old but dang. I just have to say that I was not impressed.

The PS5 is something I've been looking forward to longer than when we even knew the official name for the newest console.

And I really wanted to get my hands on the latest and suppposedit greatest console there is in the PS5. But I must say, the lack of a pre-order date at the showcase mixed with not many games I'd actually want at launch (the new Spider-Man and maybe Sackboy) I wasn't impressed like so many others were.

Yes we got the pre-order date through a Tweet on a sub post from them shortly after that turned out to be a lie as retailers just flipped the switch and started selling the pre-orders right then and there (yeah I'm looking at you Walmart and others).

So as a PS5 showcase so close to launch, I must say I wasn't impressed with how things were handled and I think I'm just going to stick with and enjoy my PS4 just a little bit longer. I'm personally thinking until about 2022. Unless something amazing comes out that won't also be on said PS4.

Not mentioning the pre-order date during the showcase and instead putting it in a random tweet was badly done, not that it mattered where it was stated because every outlet broke the date and did it right after the showcase without warning anyway.

The biggest thing that took the wind out of the sails for me with this showcase was Sony stating that Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West were also PS4 titles. For MM it's fine because the game was built off Spider-Man PS4 so it isn't really going to push the PS5, it's just going to get visual upgrades and stuff. Horizon on the other hand I feel is going to be held back by being cross-gen.
