Poll Did a single Playstation 5 TECH DEMO build more hype for next gen than both Microsoft Showcases combined? (64 votes)
Sony's show aside...I think this tech demo really reinvigorated our expectations of what next gen will look like because after Microsoft's third party showing, I was depressed. Prior to the show, I was amped because good old Dr. Phil Spencer made the Series X sound like a monster ready to break the leash. After the disappointing show, IGN had an entire article dedicated to telling people not to expect a big leap in graphics and that our expectations might be a little too high. Dr. Phil followed up saying the same thing and then BAAM!!! This AMAZING tech demo hit (running in real time) and it looked EVEN BETTER than my expectations.
After this, I'm saying to myself "Microsoft is going to show their asses when they do their first party game reveal" but instead, we got teaser trailer galore.
If Sony wouldn't have shown anything, I don't think anyone would've been upset with the Halo reveal because it was pretty much on par with Microsoft's third party showing and I'm pretty sure everyone would've accepted it BUT...because of this glorious looking tech demo showing what can be done on next gen hardware, Halo and Microsoft was clowned and here we are.
So did a PS5 tech demo outshine both of Microsoft's showcases combined? And what was your honest opinion of both shows?
