PS5 Reveal Event: 7 Ups & 6 Downs

Downs...

6. Starting The Show With GTA V

Grand Theft Auto V

The event didn't get off to the most encouraging start when Sony decided to open the show by announcing that Grand Theft Auto V will be getting an "enhanced" PS5 re-release next year.

Given that GTA fans are chomping at the bit for news about Grand Theft Auto VI, flashing up the Rockstar logo at the start of the conference felt like a cheeky, even cruel trick, especially as it was ultimately for a game which virtually every gamer on the planet already owns at least a copy or two of.

Worst of all, the gameplay footage shown off came complete with a "PS4" logo in the corner, confirming we weren't even seeing what it would look like running on PS5 hardware.

Talk about a total non-event on which to kick the show off.
