As someone who likes indies, this was pretty decent with a lot of games I want to play.

Being objective though, Playstation should have just made this a Spiderman 2 SoP with Helldivers and a shorter slate of indie/third party stuff. Could still be about 40 minutes max and announce Marathon, Concord and Fairgame$ later in the year with a proper showcase.

The big issue was the GAAS stuff, specifically Haven and Firewalk's games - announcing new studios multiplayer games with zero gameplay is so fukking stupid I don't know what to say. I get it; Jim Ryan wants to announce the GAAS stuff for their investors but this is an obvious miss-step for both games and dubious start to Playstation's GAAS initiative.

What they tried to do was pull off a playstation showcase in a nintendo style direct format minus the talking over the video.
I think the most troublesome thing for those who are PS only owners is the lack of not only gameplay footage but actual solid dates. For those that have been around the block this isn't really thing new early to mid life cycle of the PS systems. With the PS3 and PS4 the games didn't really pick up coming out of 1st party until mid to late gen, and it looks like things will be the same this go around too.
In the meantime you can expect Playstation to lean in heavy on 3rd party games as per usual.

“Playstation only owners” as if there are any major 3rd party games skipping playstation. What i saw was a bunch of multiplat games and a couple exclusives dropping this year

Two of them being FF and Spider-Man

No said anything about skipping playstation, if you bought a playstation for " 1st party exclusives" then you didn't much gameplay footage outside of spiderman

Most of the 3rd party multiplat games showed off actually gameplay footage.

GranBlue Relink looked fun. It'll hold me down while I wait on the next Tales of game.
