PlayStation aired a new State of Play presentation this afternoon, and fans walked away less than impressed. While PS5's new Final Fantasy VII Remake content proved exciting for some, the majority of the show's videos seemed to fall flat. A number of fans compared the presentation to last week's Nintendo Direct, which also received a lot of negative reception. Highly-anticipated games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon Forbidden West were conspicuously absent, despite recent assurances that the games will release in 2021. While the PS5 and PS4 should have some exciting titles releasing this year, many fans wished that more exciting content had been featured today!

Some found it underwhelming.

I’ll play the FF7 upgrade near release of the next episode and Kena looks great.

But Deathloop steals the show again. Totally made up for an otherwise underwhelming State Of Play

A lot of games were MIA.

Fans were expecting better.

I never thought I would have said this in my life but the state of play was one of the worst showcases I've ever seen, Nintendo did better and they didn't even do it well

Last week's Nintendo Direct is getting more sympathy now.

Playstation told Nintendo “hold my beer real quick” #StateofPlay

Even the new Final Fantasy content wasn't enough for some.

“Hey, here’s some new trailers for games you already knew about and here’s one or two new games anyway buy FF7 again!” #StateofPlay
