Not sure why so many are triggered by a female protaganist. First game you played a male, second a female. Whats the big deal.

Whoever spoiled it was spot on. He missed some games like VR and a few others. Totally missed Ghost of Yotei.
 
if they put the same dedication that they did with GoT into GoY then who cares if it's a female character.

that being said I'm absolutely expecting her to either be lesbian or heavily implied because modern audiences.
 
Scoring time
+1 point for giving Astrobot guy some air time, hopefully that means they are not going to shut Asobi down anytime soon.
+1 for Ghost 2, looks pretty much the same as Ghost 1 but better than nothing.
+1 for mini digital art book reveal
-1 for so much deluxe edition and pre-order incentive shit

2/10
 
I'm convinced all it takes is one team member to suggest a fem protag, regardless of how out of place it would be, and then they have to go through with it out fear of an HR issue.
 
Probably a D for me, only lunar grabbed me go figure. Would of been excited for ghosts but never played the first so not as excited as others. Hell is us looked interest though.
 
Saved themselves a complete faceplant with the GoY reveal.

Outside of that, Soul Reaver already blew its wad earlier today (pretty much the only one I'd be interested in) and everything else was just 5/10 all the way.
 
Bad show/10 but at least GoT 2 saved it somehow. And there's something from Sony, next year. Not sure how I feel about no Jin though.

What is wrong with you people? Why are you always expecting a Bloodborne 2 type of show... Yeah, it wasn't stellar but come on, don't set your expectation so high. Same goes for Direct...
 
This whole show REALLY makes me reconsider purchasing PS5 Pro. I really did not see one thing that is for me. Feel like the whole world, including Sony, has gone full-on Gen Z woke and I am simply not getting it at all. I have never felt this disconnected from the Sony universe.
If only it were limited to just Sony but it is everywhere.
 
You though you were going to get a male protagonist in a Sony game two times in a row?

Well at least it's a new game. Still a pathetic SoP anyway.
 
At least I will get DS Remake and Tlou 1 in Plus lol. What a shit show although GoY hyped me a bit and then let me down with the female lead. I wanted Jin.
 
0 problems with got2 female protag as long as its realistically done, aka she will use technique and finese, instead of brutality/raw physical power like abby or that female mike tyson copy from ubisoft star wars game.

As a PSVR2 owner, I'm pretty hyped for all the VR games shown. Stellar Blade and Astrobot DLC look awesome. GOY looks amazing, and I'm glad they have gone with a new protagonist. All in all, a decent show. I can't be arsed giving it a score, so I'll leave that to the score nerds.

Dare I say that the Horizon Lego games looks ace, as does the remake. Good stuff.

My suggestion is to vote with your wallet and not get a PS5 pro. We don't need anyone else on that website so bow out and let the hardcores get the Pro.
 
Ghost of Girlboss looks good.

But I'll say this.

99.99% of male warriors couldn't dual wield katanas effectively due to the strength requirements. You basically needed to be Musashi, a giant and extremely athletic guy, someone who was as strong and fast wielding a katana with one hand as most others were going two handed, which is why he came up with niten ichi-ryu. It'd be disastrous for a lightweight woman to do it.
