The PlayStation Showcase has come and gone, and within a veritable ocean of meaningless CG trailers and copious live service game announcements, Alan Wake 2 was the clear standout.
Alan Wake 2 wasn’t the showcase’s marquee title; that honor went to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which closed out the show with a substantial 12-minute reveal. Unfortunately, that was more exception than rule during the PlayStation Showcase, which was surprisingly lacking in gameplay across many of its announcements. Even what could have been an exciting reveal in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, felt a little deflated thanks to its barren CG trailer.
