Experiencing PlayStation Showcase 2021

The PlayStation showcase had big reveals of games to come. Sony is trying to get us salivating for new experiences on our PlayStation console, and I think it worked.

The showcase begins with a live-action scene of a game of chess. Then the President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment welcoming us and introducing us to what to expect.

Immediately after the welcome, we are introduced to the upcoming games that will be released on the PlayStation.

There was a huge selection of games shown. A few of the games’ trailers were just a short cinematic. The Majority of the games did show gameplay with cinematics to demonstrate what the game is intended to be.

While there were new games announced, there were a few old games in the form of remasters and long continuing Grand Theft Auto V that made it into the showcase such as, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection. There were also some familiar games that had not been released yet but had been shown in the past like, DeathLoop.
