Nothing they showed tonight was more fun than this Google Meet filter I discovered that puts a cute lil cat on your head. Good night!

Yep, it's off to bed for us here in the UK. If you followed along, thanks for humouring us. Night, Tom!

Yeah I don't know if that was outright bad, but it certainly wasn't exciting. It seems insane that we didn't get a look at the new The Last of Us multiplayer game, or really any big exclusives due to release after Spider-Man 2. For the first PlayStation showcase in 18 months, that was pretty lacklustre.

And on that happy note, shall we wrap up, Joe?

Well, there we go. That was a little underwhelming. Still, we got an extended look at Spider-Man and a Metal Gear remake. I'm dissapointed we didn't see anything of The Last of Us multiplayer, though. Tom, your thoughts?

We glossed over this announcement earlier but can you imagine how big a fucking dork you'd need to be to leave the house wearing PlayStation-branded wireless earbuds?

We didn't get a firm release date for Spider-Man 2 but it's still slated for autumn 2023. Much like with Zelda, I'm going to take release day off work to play this game. And unlike with Zelda, this time I'm not gonna waste that day by getting too stoned to figure out the puzzles.

I'm glad you're happy, mate. I'm not the biggest Spider-Man fan in the world, but this looks great.

Joe I'm so happy right now

Peter's new symbiote suit has granted him gliding abilities, which look really fun!

We're seeing a three-way chase down the river between the Spiders-Men, Kraven's goons, and the Lizard. It kinda looks like more of 2018's Spider-Man again, but when it comes to these games, that's just fine by me!
