POP SoT was the first non-NES and non-SEGA game I truly fell in love with. I have been waiting so dang ol long for this remake 😭

My little brother told me about Sonys net portable and it honestly just seems like an accessory for the ps5 since it needs one to stream games

Yup. I predicted it. If they started with Spider-Man 2 it meant they had a lot more bigger things to show; if they ended with Spider-Man 2 (which they did), it meant that was the biggest thing they had first-party wise. Where were all these games they supposedly been working on? We mostly got CGI trailers and no release dates for most of what they showed - on top of that, who knows when's the next showcase? This was a 5 at best; I hope the XBOX conference blows them out of the water.

YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD! BK! As much as that PlayStation showcase was trash, we all know PlayStation will bring the games sooner or later; on the other hand Microsoft even with these big acquisitions hasn't produced anything of worth. With that said, really hope Microsoft can bring it on the 11th - PlayStation really needs the competition right now.

People just wanna hate, Metal Gear Solid fans like me are hyped and can't wait to see MGS 1, 2 and 3 on Steam.

I feel like the emphasis that BK put on the word disk is in response to my comment on last week's video and I’m proud.
