Playstation Showcase OT: NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY

I was wondering, why oh why did Sony do away with Japan Studio, and what happened with Media Molecule? They made some of the more unique things. I remember how the fans were like “no more smaller games, just the blockbusters we love from here on out? Fine with me” but look how that’s turning out, heh.

From what I heard Media Molecule wasnt doing much support for Dreams even before they officially announced they were stopping support, so optimistically they have been doing some pre-production stuff and maybe started development on their next project. Im curious where MM can go next, the game building market isnt really there anymore and if it was there wasnt much they could have done to push it outside of dreams. Fingers crossed Jim Ryan doesnt force them to make a GaaS

Question: Were there hype coming from devs or staff or anyone prior to the showcase?

Not that I recall.

I didn’t see any of that posted here or any other forum. Also not sites reporting on it. It was Jez and a few other ones?

a bunch from the sony employees. even Hulst himself. but of course when they tweeted “1st party”, many didn’t expect it to be almost gaas on the showcase.

Ah, so the fans were “justified” for disappointment. I mean they did promise first party, just not CGI only as well as the genre PS didn’t train them to accept.

Seeing the Apple event, what quality, Sony wants to copy them strongly with those dark backgrounds when Jim Ryan appears but the difference in quality is abysmal, Sony can’t be Apple even if it wants to.
