Ashley Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 In fairness shops aren't open for you to buy second hand at the moment so I think @Eddage wins this round 😉 1
Eddage Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 1 minute ago, Sheikah said: Sure, if you wait til now, a few months before the next console launches, those are some good prices. It's also worth noting that these games are all in the PlayStation Hits £16 range which took quite a while to come about. There's a lot of games that aren't in the Hits range that can be picked up for £5-10 pre-owned in places like GAME that will be quite a bit more on the storefront. I'm looking at you, Doom. Ultimately though it's an unknown and a punt to go digital only I think - we have no idea how quickly Sony will put together a discounted Hits range for PS5 so it could be quite a while before we see meaningful reductions and sales. Yeah, but for me it's a no brainer given my hatred for clutter 1

Hopefully that means that it won't sound like a jet engine this time at least...It looks long but not quite fat enough to be a convincing PC tower. I'm surprised how much smaller the total volume looks than the Series X. Hopefully the ventilation doesn't suffer because of that!
Sméagol Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Not a fan of the design, though I don't hate it either. I'll get the inevitable cooler mini version down the line.
nekunando Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Interesting that I'm a troll just because I'm not excited for anything I saw.. or is this me feeding you, @Sheikah? Like I said.. I wish I could feel the enthusiasm that the rest of you feel but I don't. I'll make sure to fall in line next time, though.

Generally speaking, could it be that you're going off gaming? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that your interests were pretty specific.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that your interests were pretty specific. I feel like my interests narrow with each passing year so you're not wrong there I still love games but I've struggled to be excited for games on PlayStation and XBOX for generations now. Nintendo always keep me ticking along but there's even been a shift in their output over the last decade that is focusing on games and franchises that aren't what I've grown to love. It is what it is. People can judge and say I'm miserable or whatever but try to put yourself in my position where nothing gives you joy 3 1
S.C.G Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 It was fun watching this event with you in the N-E chat @drahkon Also thanks for putting all those titles into list form, I've borrowed it and whittled the titles down to the ones I'm interested in, the developer and when they are out... PlayStation 5 exclusive titles Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Insomniac - launch day? Possibly Returnal - Housemarque - launch day? Guaranteed, surely? Gran Turismo 7 - Polyphony Digital - launch day? lol no Demon's Souls - From Software - launch day? Maybe Horizon Forbidden West - Guerrilla - launch day? Probably not PlayStation 5 timed console exclusive titles Kena: Bridge of Spirits - Ember Lab - launch day? Nope Project Athia - Luminous Productions (Square-Enix) launch day? Yeah... no, 2025 more like GhostWire: Tokyo - Tango Softworks - launch day? Nope, 2021 PlayStation 4 and 5 timed console exclusive titles Oddworld Soulstorm - Oddworld Inhabitants Inc - launch day? Unlikely Solar Ash - Nah, 2021 Non-exclusive titles Resident Evil Village - Capcom - launch day? No way, 2021 So that's eleven titles I'm potentially interested in, of which five are exclusive and maybe only one or two will be launch games. The console design is... I'd only consider the version with a disc drive, if it was available in one colour then I'd be a little bit more interested in it but it's not that important. To me, it's looking like 2021 at the earliest, if I'd be buying one at all and by that time, might as well wait until 2022, see if it gets a better redesign and/or a slight price drop. I really don't want to drop £500+ on a new console, that isn't a possibility for me right now, even if it was, I still don't think I'd do it. We'll see what the Xbox Series X brings soon enought as well but, I can't see that convincing me either, certainly not at launch. It was a good showing for the console, if I'm being brutally honest though, there's still only maybe four games in that entire reduced list which I really, definitely want to play. 1
dwarf Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I'm increasingly like that myself @nekunando Although there weren't any must haves in there for me, the volume of indie showings was promising and I think they did a pretty solid job overall. With that said, a lot of indie stuff seems like its trying to capture the look and feel of Journey. You see it everywhere now. The real distinctive and artistically exceptional game for me was Little Devil Inside, but that's coming to PS4 too. Jett: The Far Shore also looked cool - it's the first Superbrothers game since Sword and Sworcery if anyone remembers that? That was far from a perfect game but it definitely gave me vibes. Pragmata could be anything from the most ambitious game, to the most interesting, to the most Stranding-like game ever (i.e. dogshit). More details needed to be able to place it. Regardless of the presentation, I knew I'd be picking up a PS5 for the next NaughtyDog and Battlefield games anyway, plus one or two other things that catch my eye over the next cycle. I only really bought a couple of games each year this gen, and while that might not be enough to keep most people here ticking over, it's plenty for me these days. I'm sure that'll be the same next gen too. 1
Ronnie Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 So Spider-Man is their big launch game? It's weird how they barely showed any of that, I can't really think back to the trailer, might have to watch it again. So in terms of (big) first party reveals it's that, Horizon 2 and Ratchet. I think I got it into my head they would make Horizon their launch game so to not even get a date for the sequel is disappointing.

Hopefully that means that it won't sound like a jet engine this time at least... So not only is it the ugliest console ever but it’s also ridiculously huge to the point it won’t actually fit anywhere to hide it away? Having slept on it a little I’m really having trouble putting into words how much I hate the design of this console. If it wasn’t for the huge (IMO, of course) advantage this has on the games side I’d be considering moving camps to the Xbox it’s so bad. I was having a bit more of a think on whether the digital only version was better, the only real downside for me is whether my library can fit on the console. I recently had to delete a few things from my PS4 which got me worried. However I still have 50 games on it so I’m not too worried. Unless some great reason for having the disc drive comes up I’ll definitely be going digital. Edited June 12, 2020 by will'

I didn't think anything could make this thing look uglier but putting it next to the Series X and showing just how enormous it is has done it And it looks like it could be even bigger, the BD drive looks pretty small there compared to the PS4/Series X
Sheikah Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Honestly I'm quite surprised how repulsed some people in this topic are by it, haha. To me the thought of possibly switching systems because of the appearance of the box seems rather fruity, but there you go. I can't be alone in generally not having too much of an opinion on how consoles look, right? To me it looks...fine. I mean, it's a box. I can't remember the last time I thought a console looked good. Maybe the Wii? At the end of the day it's going to sit in my TV cabinet out of sight. The controller I'll see a lot more of but the box itself...eh.
Glen-i Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I am a hobbyist artist and I feel obliged to say that the PS5 is one of the ugliest consoles I've ever seen. Why has it got side flaps!? I sure hope you like dust because that thing is going to have so much in hard-to-reach places. It's actually a little gross. 1 1 1

They're obviously going to do some kind of show for announcing launch details, maybe there's a few more games to be announced there.
MindFreak Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Can it seriously not lie down? How is anyone going to fit that into their TV setup then? At least the XBox One Series X Whateverthenameis is smaller... 1

Aneres11 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I personally don’t mind too much what it looks like. Most people ram it under their tv units these days and be done with it. I’m more interested in the controller which looks oh so delicious to me. There were a tonne of games I was interested in with that last night. Ratchet and Clank being the biggest. Man I love those games. The Sack Boy platformer also looked great and there were a couple of interesting mini trailers for new games that looked like they’d be up my street. I will likely get one at launch although I can’t see myself going digital only like a few of you are leaning towards. The digital console looks better, but I generally prefer buying games on disc unless the store has a sale on something I wouldn’t ordinarily pay full price for.

Now that Sony nailed their games showing, certain people need other things to complain about Can't wait to see the outrage when the PS5's price is 50 bucks higher than they expected/wanted. Anyways, looking forward to seeing more about the games (and more games) in the upcoming weeks. 1

I think I got it into my head they would make Horizon their launch game so to not even get a date for the sequel is disappointing. Think back to that diffision of innovation graph I mentioned a few pages back. Your hardcore adoptors won't be swung by a PS5 purchase due to Horizon. It makes more sense to release H2 sometime late in 2021. It's a bit like how Nintendo released their bigger Mario titles (SMO, SMG and even 3DW) about a year after the console actually launched Ratchet and Spiderman 2 are more than enough for launch. I don't think Demon Soul's will be far off too, nor Gran Turismo. Also worth remembering that consoles don't tend to shift huge numbers until the end of that red phase and beginning of the blue phase. 1
bob Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Standing upright, it looks a little bit like the World Cup trophy? Laying down, it looks like a paperback book that you spilt milk over and left to dry on the radiator overnight. Purely based on looks, it is pretty hideous, but i remember the 360 looking funky when they announced it, and now it's a classic. Games-wise, Spider-man and Horizon are the ones i'm excited about, but then looking at the release date and comparing it to the release date of Bob Jr, and i'm guessing it'll be a while before i get to play any of them. 1

Ronnie Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) How disappointing... A remaster of a 2 year old game? No wonder they didn't show much of it! Pretty dodgy and misleading of them if this is true. Edited June 12, 2020 by Ronnie
