Posted June 11, 2020 That was a great showing, so many games I want to play! I quite like the design of the console. I need unique designs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 Beautiful design. Really digging it. That was an awesome showing. They nailed it. Only one thing left to do...get the price POINT (@bob) right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2020 So I suspect the digital version is the lower priced model, in the event Microsoft try to undercut on the final price. Interesting move. Like the look of the console though. Very sleek. But yeah, its gonna have to have the PSU like that to keep it cool otherwise that'll be blowing fire out the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the console is ugly. Looks like a Wii with a big collar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 God I wish we got a launch date! The design is REALLY different to what they've done in the past. Fair play. My fiancee won't be happy that it's not available in black though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2020 @bob looks like there will be two skews offering the consumer two different price points. Shame they didn't talk about backcompat though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 I like the console design. It's like a sexy router. Though I do hope you can place it horizontally, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 For those of you saying they nailed it and that it's a great showing, I really wish I could feel your enthusiasm. I'm completely empty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) That was ok. I wouldn't say much of it looked "next gen" Horizon 2 was always going to show up, shame no gameplay and even bigger shame it isn't a launch game. Not even a 2021 date suggests it's a while off Edited June 11, 2020 by Ronnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the day a console is something you don't actually look at. I seem to recall the PS4 was mocked when it was first shown because of its two section thing and then everyone just got over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Fantastic showing. That's how you do it! So many games, really promising! Looks like it is coming out this year after all @Dcubed. Actually can't wait for this, I'm all in now. Only thing I'll say is that the console design itself I expect to be divisive!

Posted June 11, 2020 The games look great. There were tons of things shown that I definitely want to play. Didn't see many games there that I thought "yeah, not playing that", which is a good sign. Great presentation! Deathloop looked fun as hell. Looking forward to the next generation. I'm going one console only again, and this will be the one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation have never had strong first years, but at least with Spider Man at launch (?) it feels like they're learning, and there's enough good looking games there to tide people over I think.

Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Ahh, I thought I recognised the name Lucid Games; they're the ex Bizzare Creations folks! THAT's why the game looks so fun! Anyway, it was a strong show overall. But I did catch how most of the announcements were third party games that will not be exclusive... You aren't pulling the wool over my eyes Sony! I'm surprised that they're releasing Spiderman 2 this year; but I'm calling it now, this ain't a true PS5 exclusive. It's a cross-gen title (it's really obviously a PS4 port). The rest of their first party lineup (sans GT7 and Demons' Souls Remastered) aint coming out until 2022; the fact that they didn't even announce release years for them speaks volumes. The big shocker here is the Digital Only hardware model; NOBODY was expecting that one! Also, it looks like the form factor might actually be larger than the typical console form factor and more like the Series X after all (it's basically a mini PC tower). Wasn't expecting that... That might change things a bit... As far as the games themselves go? Destruction Allstars is the big standout for me. That looks really great! Looks like a ton of fun! I'm also very impressed by Rachet and Clank; they have actually designed it around the SSD storage for a legitimately cool looking gameplay gimmick! Very Nintendo-like! I like it very much! More of this and less of the CG cutscene bullshit please! RE8 also looks... very interesting! Gives me vibes of the legendary "Hookman" version of RE4; more Castlevania than Resident Evil! Will look forward to playing that on my PC/Series X! And that's really my big takeaway here. How much of this is actually going to be exclusive? Why should I buy a PS5 for these games specifically?

Posted June 11, 2020 It really looks awful, worst console design in a long time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 Console looks like an overdesigned WiFi router. Weird, but okay. 25 games shown, I think only three of which (Ghostwire, Godfall, and Deathloop) we've seen before (maybe four with Astro Bot, missed that little bit if someone could fill me in on what's going on there?). Good showing. A lot of indie games though, not many of which felt like they were pushing that next gen envelope. Might need a second watching, but overall atm gut feeling is that was a great showing, but I was never blown away. Maybe it's the lack of an audience or the fast pacing, but the lack of a "one last thing" and the underwhelming introduction to, say, the new Horizon was a bit weird for me. Right now I'd give it a B. But yeah, time for a second watching. I'll be back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2020 Just seen someone point out it's shaped like the Roman numeral V. I wonder if that was the idea. Although as most people have said it's basically a router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
