What Happened At: PlayStation Showcase?

For the second year running PlayStation unleashed the big guns in Showcase form, but after skipping E3 and Gamescom, what did Sony have to show for it?

First up, KOTOR is getting a full remake, and it’s coming to both PS5 and PC! We then saw Project Eve, a stylish action game evoking that big Devil May Cry and Bayonetta energy. Next up was Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a Borderlands spin-off with a fantasy flare, gameplay for Square Enix’s Forspoken, and a full trailer for the long-awaited Alan Wake remaster. GTAV received its inevitable trailer, and we saw more from Ghostwire Tokyo, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and Bloodhunt. Releasing next week, we saw more from Deathloop, the Radiohead Kid A Mnesia Exhibition, beautiful animal-possesor Tchia, and confirmation of a remastered collection of Uncharted Lost Legacy and Uncharted 4 coming to both PS5 and PC.

Gran Turismo 7 revved its considerable engine and looked beautiful while doing so, before Insomniac shocked the world with the announcement of Marvel’s Wolverine AND Spider-Man 2. It’ll feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales Spider-Men, and not only seems to confirm the inclusion of Kraven The Hunter, but DEFINTIELY confirms Venom. Finally the highly anticipated God of War Ragnarok was shown in detail, with Kratos and Atreus preparing for both Ragnarok and an inevitable showdown with the god of thunder himself, Thor.

I know Ashton joined a while back but seeing you three in a “panel” setting really made it real for me for the first time. 💛💛

[whoiamiamnot]

I love the chaotic energy Ashton brings to these videos.

"Will you give me the challenge that I Kraven?" - Ben Potter being top notch

[kokoko]

Thank you for covering this event. KOTOR brings me back to more carefree days. I am excited to play the remake once I have a PS5 on my hands.

[timothyoswald]

Gran Turismo is actually really fun, especially if you have a semi-decent wheel!

[ericgurley]

It is funny how different your takes were from other channels. Keep up the good work.

My two biggest beefs about this showcase:
1) No news on what Bluepoint was doing. (Or am I blind?)
2) They showed Deathloop for the ****ing ump-teenth time. We get it, marketing, etc... but I'm so done hearing about it.
Otherwise, super solid show. Very excited for next year :D

Guys, the bloke doing the voice and performance capture for kratos is Christopher Judge. He was in Stargate SG-1 and you'd probably recognise him if you saw him

[angbald]

I think the voice in the square game was Paul Bettany

[goblingrandma]

Ashton, the unruly child at the end. Love it.

[bensonsj]

Maybe we'll actually be able to get our hands on the PS5 soon! 🤞🤞🤞

[Crasky]

KotOR is absolutely worth playing still - one of the greatest storylines in gaming history. I almost shit my pants for the announcement!

[DevilsEyeCT]

From quickly looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was another Alien game.

[crackedspyglass]

Maybe one of these days i could actually find a ps5

[williamfrancecamera]

I think they should have saved the Deathloop trailer, would have been a brilliant subversion of expectations

[METALisLIFE]

Good news, the KOTOR remake is a timed exclusive. Coming to xbox after

[crackedspyglass]

You can play OG kotor on ios and android, and the standalone non-steam version works better

[dylanogg]

If Kratos is smart, he'll aim for the head.

[tabularaza]

I think it sounded like Stephen Merchant in forspoken.

"I'd love to play a game in this setting, but not this one." That's exactly how I feel about Ghostwire: Tokyo.
