Sony's delayed Playstation 5 (PS5) future of gaming event delivered and then some on Thursday.



Whilst the Xbox Series X third-party showcase slipped into controversy, PlayStation dropped Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales without warning and it's coming to PS5 this holiday season from the newly-formed PlayStation Studios.



Sackboy made a surprise return and Horizon Forbidden West is a direct sequel to the award-winning Horizon Zero Dawn with the continuing adventures of Aloy in a gorgeous post-apocalyptic world. Incidentally, I bought Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition in the Days of Play sale, but will save it for PS5.



The event culminated in the reveal of the PS5 itself. There'll be two SKUs. One with a 4K Blu-ray disc drive and a digital-only model. I'm going all digital (as I have on Xbox One), but need an optical drive for those shiny silver platters I still own. The PS5 is a sleek slice of anime-inspired tech and can be stored vertically or horizontally. Yay!



Your move Microsoft...
