They had a lot of people coming over from different parts of the world for the convention. Good to see them thinking about trying to stop the spread of the virus. Of course a lot of the gaming community are up in arms over it because, you know, to hell with trying to look after people just as long as they get to play/see new games. Muppets. It will be interesting to see if the virus continues how it will effect both Sony and Microsoft's plans for their next consoles. Nintendo has stated that Switch stock is being effected so I have to imagine the other companies are taking a hit as well. Maybe we could see a delay for the next gen consoles? Not that it would bother me in the slightest as I wasn't looking to pick one up straight away anyway. I have too much other stuff to play but for those who are eagerly awaiting next gen goods it would be a bitter pill to swallow and imagine toys will be flung out of the pram.

I’ve used mine for a few hours now and after the initial change in feel as you hold the pad it becomes second nature, and still comfy, very quickly. Edited February 20, 2020 by Kav 1

I have too much other stuff to play but for those who are eagerly awaiting next gen goods it would be a bitter pill to swallow and imagine toys will be flung out of the pram. A delay to at least one of the next gen consoles is something I've been thinking might slowly be becoming a reality. I suspect it would be Sony given how cagey they're being with regards to it and not feeling ready to unveil things. That and the recent talk that they're struggling to procure enough components and keep the cost of manufacturing down could play into them delaying it to early next year. Microsoft will definitely hit its launch this holiday, be that late October or early November. Even if they've got limited supply on launch, they'll still go for it. I could see Sony being a bit more level headed and thinking that if the cost is going to be too high and that they can't meet demand, amongst other things, they may delay until next February/March. That might even play into Sony's hands a bit. If they're struggling with cost, let Microsoft hit the market with the Series X at what will presumably be somewhere in the region of £449.99-£499.99 and see how that fairs. The extra months will help beef up production to give more units which will be a boon if Microsoft have limited stock for the first couple of months. They can then price accordingly. Likewise, we know Microsoft will have some bigger first party titles out of the gate. Halo, Forza (sadly Motorsport as I much prefer the Horizon games) and at least another game or two (possibly new IPs for these) and if Sony is worried they won't have that big game out of the gate from their first party teams and have a launch similar to the PS4, but they could have say Marvel's Spiderman ready for early 2021 as well as Horizon 2, then I could see them taking the delay on the chin as a lineup bolstered by titles like that would minimise any losses felt. It could happen and could be done to work in their favour, especially if they do a big PSX event in December this year to give everyone hands on before the holidays which might be enough of an impetus to stop people picking up a Series X, but I get a feeling they'll want to it the market at it around the same time as Microsoft. Itll be interesting to see nonetheless. 2

With you loving your first person shooters I figured you would give this a go. I've heard it can be quite a game changer. I have no interest in it but it's a nice to have a cheap alternative to Microsoft's Elite pad which costs an absolute fortune. I wonder if we see back paddles are the like as standard on the PS5 controller? 1

Thing is about software, Microsoft have stated that their games will be cross gen for the first year or so, meaning that there will be no real exclusives for a while. I think it was Jason Schreier who said that Sony will have PS5 exclusives at launch. Whether they will be up to snuff is another matter altogether. Historically Sony have always had a weak launch line up. 1
Ronnie Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) I don't think I've ever sold a console before but I just sold my PS4 for £130. I haven't touched it since Spider Man a year and a half ago and I realised I'm not going to play anything on Playstation till PS5 comes out. It's helping fund my new Animal Crossing Switch Overall I'm pleased I bought it. There were some great games on it, God of War being the major one, but in the end having got an Xbox One X I was really only keeping it for the Sony exclusives that come out once every 6 months, and there haven't been any I'm keen on for a while. I didn't mention when selling it that it sounds like an A380 every time you play a game on it, but I'm hoping that's a common enough issue that I didn't have to. Edited March 11, 2020 by Ronnie 1

Definitely for the best if you weren't getting use out of it, especially if the money is being used for something more suited to you. As for the noise of the fans, you should have just thrown in some earplugs with the sale of the console.

It's a really nice colour scheme.
Sheikah Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 So to cope with increased demand amid COVID-19, they've apparently reduced download speeds on PSN in Europe. 1
gaggle64 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Oh damn, Control is on sale on PSN for £20. Already got a to-play list as long as my arm but that's tempting.
drahkon Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 @Hero-of-Time No Castle Crashers Remastered in the PSN spring sale. eShop, your move! 1
killthenet Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Not sure whether to pick up Death Stranding in the PSN sale or use the money to buy Resident Evil 3. RE3 will undoubtedly drop in price in a few months and now seems like the perfect time to dip into Death Stranding but I just can't decide!

RE3 will undoubtedly drop in price in a few months and now seems like the perfect time to dip into Death Stranding but I just can't decide! It depends what you're after. Death Stranding is a very slow and somewhat relaxing game. If you enjoy it you will get a good 50+ hours out of it. Resident Evil 3 is obviously more action packed but if you aren't bothered about trophies or unlockables then you'll be done with it in about 6-7 hours. Really looking forward to playing RE3. I doubt it will match the greatness that was the remake of the second game but as long as I get to blow up plenty of zombies then I'll be a happy man. 1
Sheikah Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Not sure if it warrants a new topic yet but thought @drahkon would like this. A sequel to Rogue Legacy has been announced. I really enjoyed the first one, so looking forward to this. 1

CrowingJoe79 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I've heard that Sony will be doing improvements to the PS5. I hope so. Although it could mean that it gets delayed.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Funny, Colin and Chris from Sacred Symbols were just saying last week that gaming companies should dish out some free games during this crisis in order to encourage people to stay in and here we are. Nice to see Sony also setting up a 10 million fund to help out indie developers suffering during these recent hard times.
