Pathless devs have already confirmed that it won't be a PS+ game: And I'd be very surprised to see Bugsnax with PS+. It's got so much buzz around it, it will do very well on its own.
Ganepark32 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I've got a PS5 Digital Edition pre-ordered with Amazon. So far, its that an some wallet top ups for the PS Store courtesy of Shopto. Keep flip-flopping on games to get at launch. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a lock thats for sure as that era is a part of history I love and I'm deeply interested in it (love shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom and have some history books on Vikings and Ancient Scots and I'm not much of a history buff). But beyond that, I'm still undecided. Spiderman Miles Morales will likely get picked up as it looks great but I'm slightly hesitant given that I thought the original was ok. I'm not expecting they'll have deviated much from the open world formula of that title for MM which is the crux on my hesitation given I wasn't a fan of the hideouts and the open world somewhat feeling like something out of Ubisoft's playbook (admittedly, better done but still). My hype for Cyberpunk 2077 is virtually non-existent as I've not kept up with their streams for the game and have heard more about how badly CD Projekt Red have been handling things development wise than the game itself, which has definitely dented my impression of them as a studio. Its a wait and see for this one. If I pick it up it'll be on launch day, if reviews are good and there aren't any major game breaking bugs. Waiting on hearing the pricing for The Pathless. Giant Squid said they'd announce it later this month so I suspect they'll announce it next week. I'll be picking that up as I like the look of it. Expecting it to be somewhere between £29.99 and £39.99, kind of the PS5's AA/indie equivalent of The Medium on the Xbox Series S|X though less scary. Also curious as to what other indies will make it to launch. I expect we'll see some PS5 optimised versions of older titles but should see some cross gen games there. Hoping there's either a State of Play to highlight some of these or Sony's usual blog post of "Here's X number of indie games you should look forward to on PS5". Not expecting any major surprises but suspect they've got stuff lined up for next year that'll be big. That'll probably be it for launch day. Would love some form of shooter and may end up plonking for Destiny: Beyond Light but we'll see. Would prefer a third person shooter. Will likely be picking up Immortal Fenyx Rising in December (will try the demo on Stadia later this week though to get a gust of whether or not I will) and then I'll likely pick up some indie games I’ve missed later in the PS4 life in the Xmas sale (I know, with how many indie games I play I'm shocked I've missed some as well). Maybe Hitman 3 next year and Riders Republic in February. No email from Amazon telling me it won't go out in the first batch for launch day so looks like it'll get here on the 19th. Though what time it appears on that day, who knows. Amazon have delivered stuff to my door at 10am, 8pm and every time imaginable in between so who knows. All I know is I'll be checking the tracking mid/late morning and then finding stuff to distract myself till it gets here. When it does, I'll get it set up, find out which game is the smallest file size to download, get that downloading and maybe check out Astro's Playroom. If it comes late in the afternoon, it'll just get set up for Friday, I'll stick season 1 of Barry on (I bought it on the PS store so its attached to my PS account) and spend time with the missus rewatching that as I've been meaning to do that for a while now. Very much excited for launch tho. The next 4 weeks are going to be long but I've got games to keep me busy and I'll have some stuff to try on Gamepass on the 10th with the Xbox launching (I'm sticking with my One but at least I'll get to try The Falconeer out). 1
Sheikah Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, drahkon said: What does your next-gen haul look like? A PS5 disc drive console from Amazon as well as a Pulse headset. The headset was a fiver off at Curries which I was pretty happy about. I have the revised Sony Gold PS4 headset (the one less likely to break) which is a bit shoddy. The microphone is worse than the original Gold headset (which I had and was great, but it wore out), and the connection with the dongle often cuts out (again, unlike the first one). Even though I've had it for nearly 2 years I'm going to see if I can get a refund from Amazon. I'm not planning on getting any games at launch since they're extortionate and will go down in price, but that could change depending on whether Cyberpunk ends up something truly special. Really, I have loads of games still to play which will benefit from PS5 right away, so I'm really looking forward to the console. Edited October 21, 2020 by Sheikah 1

Any plans for release day? What does your next-gen haul look like? Hardware - PS5 (disc version) - additional DualSense - Pulse 3D Headset - Media Remote - Wireless Charging Station - 1TB SSD if any are out in time. Software I've digitally pre-ordered the following already: - Spiderman: Miles Morales (Ultimate Edition) - Demon's Souls May get a third game but not sure what yet. Any games/accessories you're ridiculously hyped for? Just the whole new console experience it's all very exciting. Any plans for release day? I'll be at work so getting it delivered there (like I did with the PS4). Day one will consist of playing Astro's Playroom while downloading all digital games I've bought and adding a few PS4 titles too. Edited October 21, 2020 by Cookyman 2
drahkon Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Looks like you people are ready I'm gonna put this one here... ...because he's the audio director at Kojima Productions and I want a new game from that studio and I want it to be on next-gen and I want it now (unless it's a horror game, then I want it to die).

Not to get carried away, but... That does look like Kojima. Him filming and his clothes definitely make him look even more like Kojima. Death Stranding is out on PC now, and with the launch of next gen next month, and with The Game Awards just a few weeks later...I don't think it would be that crazy to think Kojima Productions could have something to show off here, especially considering just how soon they had something whipped up to show off Death Stranding for the first time at E3 2016. Having only played MGS 1 - 3 from his list of games so far, I'm definitely curious to see what he'll tackle next. Personally I agree with you and hope it wouldn't be horror-related, just because there was way too much buzz around the Silent Hill reboot from the core members of the old team for there to not be anything to it, so even though it would be cool to see him get to realise some of what he showed off to the world in P.T., personally hoping for something completely out of the blue with whatever is coming next!

I want him to do a next-gen evolution of MGSV: The Phantom Pain's gameplay. New IP, similar mechanics, next-gen goodness and I'm in love. But I expect his next project to be a horror game. And to be honest, it's a good fit. Kojima is capable of delivering something that could elevate the genre. While it wouldn't be for me, I'd still be interested to see how that man would approach it.

Julius Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 @drahkon, no surprises here, but hey, I'll take confirmation! With the timing of this post following yesterday's, wonder if they've got something ready for The Game Awards? 1
Ronnie Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I hope it's a good game, and not just another excuse for Kojima to Kojima.

Kojima Productions linkedin shows a lot of job openings so I doubt the game is in a presentable state. Then again, I don't know anything about game development so... Just give me anything that's not horror. I'd even take a sports game made by Kojima.

Then again, I don't know anything about game development so... Just give me anything that's not horror. I'd even take a sports game made by Kojima. The thing that might make this a bit different is that Kojima Productions got a lot of help - temporary workers and from Guerrilla - on Death Stranding. It could just be the case that they're bringing more people into the company on a more permanent basis. Also, worth noting that Kojima announced his deal with SIE in December 2015, and still had a trailer ready for Death Stranding come E3 2016 that June. If it's "only" going to be an in-engine trailer with no gameplay (and let's be honest, isn't that we'd expect to see first from whatever KojiPro does next?), then the job listings might just be a sign of them preparing to ramp up production, but they could feasibly already have something in-engine ready to go. I remember it being a while before we saw any actual gameplay for Death Stranding! Might be me being optimistic, but if not at The Game Awards this year, I still imagine we'd see it at some point next year in some form. All being well, anyways! 1

bob Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I want to know how much those four paid to get a dedicated button on the remote. 2 1
Sheikah Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I want to know how much those four paid to get a dedicated button on the remote.Yeah, I have an LG remote with a similar thing going on (dedicated Netflix and Prime buttons). It's very handy though so I'm not knocking it.Strange to see Disney Plus on there and not Prime.
Mr-Paul Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 My TV remote has Netflix, Prime... And Rakuten TV Anyway, not paying £25 for a PS5 remote. Rip-off. The controller will do fine.

Only reason I'm getting one is the PS5 is going to be my Blu-ray player, and my DualShock 4's R2 and L2 triggers have a terrible habit of mysteriously snagging on things, which fast forwards/rewinds
Happenstance Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I’m hoping the LG smart remote will work as it does for my other consoles and let me control media playback on the PS5 as well. It’s a really helpful feature.

I was thinking earlier about spraying it myself, because just really not sure how long it will be until PlayStation come out with their own. I don't mind it in white...but black would be my preference. I would order one (says it ships on/around the 12th, with free worldwide delivery, so would probably make it here for the 19th or shortly after), but at the same time, I can't see anything on the site about its material composition, which is a bit concerning. It'll still have the airflow, but depending on the material differences, there's always the potential that it could cause some overheating. And then there's the fact that my controllers and console won't match (though I guess a dbrand skin could fix that). Hmm. Think it'd probably be best to wait on some impressions first.

Ganepark32 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Happy enough that Spotify and Netflix will be there out the gate, especially given that there was a gap between the PS4 launch and Spotify launching there. Having a dedicated Apple TV+ app there is nice as I've been wanting to give Mythic Quest a try (and there's the new Sofia Coppola film with Bill Murray and Rashida Jones too) but don't have an Apple device and I've heard watching via a browser is iffy at best. Shame about Amazon Prime not being there on launch though as that does get decent use in my house, more so than Disney+ that's for sure. I do tend to use my Xbox One as my media centre now but its good to know that out the gate I'll have access to some of my subscriptions on day 1.
Happenstance Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) As the PS5 web store is up for us now as well I’ve just added the top ups to my account and preordered Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. Edited October 22, 2020 by Happenstance 1

Yeah I think I’m going to do the same. I can’t see that these guys will be able to create something that fully fits until they have a PS5 to build their designs from and I’m sure there will be issues with these launch editions. Definitely looks good in the other colours though, really hope Sony get theirs out asap.
