The meltdowns would be justified as they have promised an advance notice of at least a few days before pre-orders go live.
I mean the meltdowns of the haters.

But... Yeah looking at this point t would be kinda bad... But, if is an announcement like: you can pre order in 5 days or something, it would be fine.
 
This sounds to me as if they're clearing the last current gen information out in preparation for the next PS5 showcase.

I mean I can't imagine there's much more to say about the PS4 and PSVR at this point, but no one wants what little there must be taking up time that could be spent focusing on the PS5 either.

So what are the PS4 games you expect to show up on Thursday? Because I honestly can't think of many. Yes, there have been some major announcements and reveals, it just feels so underwhelming when they are spread out and there's a lot of minor stuff in-between.

Kena I think. Its PS4/PS5.

Oh, they're very scared. Both hoping to not undercut the other or be forced to lose a ton of marketshare, or be forced to eat a ton of cost(several billions) to get at the same price. A lot at stake here.

Hopefully one of them is confident enough to show the price soon so we can be done with this. The longer they take the more demand will build and the lower your chance to get a preorder. Why do I care about this plastic box so much.

Is this the first generation of free to play HW where they may charge you at some point AFTER you buy the console?

We all win, if they keep it up we may not have to pay well until mid 2021 at least.

Why are we still getting jerked the fuck around in august about next gen news. Do we have to wait for price etc. at the gamescom Keighley show or even longer till september etc?
 
like seriously... wtf we dont have price, release date and barely any gameplay from what should be in the launch lineup... is this going to be the most disappointing console launch in history (i mean BOTH next-gen consoles, btw)

Unbelievable. 3 months before launch and they try and shove indie and last gen games down our throat. What is this a Microsoft conference?


I really don't understand sony this time around. They don't seem to want to talk about the ps5. Show me some goddamn gameplay you cunts.

I am all raged out. Couldn't be anymore disappointed. Fuck these people. I'm gonna go find another hobby.

Probably to counter Nintendo's Rumoured Direct since they want people to keep buying 3rd Party Software on the PS4.

I am pretty excited to be honest!

No price
No release date
No PS5 announcements

And we are 4 months away from launch.

Arragont and overconfident Sony is back baby!

I wouldn't say that. I don't know what their deal actually is with this drip feed of information, but, I don't see the overconfident & arrogant Sony.

Thats some nice sony fan spin there. Right, its now MS thats under immense pressure? MS has far more options to play with by having the most powerful next gen console and the cheapest next gen console. The pressure is on sony to not get undercut by BOTH Xbox sku's
MS have Craig so of course they have more options.

There will of course be a big PS5 show within short. It is just we all hoped/thought that the announcement this week would be just that!
 
Microsoft still does the exact same to be fair.

Not really. Microsoft doesn't plan to be talking about any previous gen games and I believe it's safe to assume the price is coming this month from them.

Sony is being a bunch of cocky assholes and shoving in old shit that no one cares about. The updates on some of the 3rd party ps5 games and indies is nice. But it is not enough honestly. I don't care for PS4 games anymore. I already played and platinumed TLOU 2 and GoT. Give me PS5 info.

Microsoft big show already happened so I cut them slack on the price and hardware release reveal because they did it much later than Sony's PS5 reveal event.

This generation is truly weird that less than 4 months away from the launch, both companies are refusing to fire up the hype and won't even start the pre-orders.

I started to worry they really don't have much to show.

After what we saw from both Microsoft's 3rd and 1st party conferences, Sony is probably like "Know what, why bother trying if our closest competitor is doing our job for us?"

There were many other things to cover regarding PS5 other than price which could have been included in the State of Play this week.
Yes, but im talking about the thread from the other day where everyone was convinced sony would go first because they had state of play first. they have 2-3 more months

They can show Nier remaster, babylon gameplay, spider man in avengers, new cod etc.

Yes it is disappointing, but there are still enough cool games and gameplay that can be shown in 40 minutes and they set expectations so we won't be surprised by no next gen news.

It can still be a fun show.

It's great they set expectations BUT...

Come on were a few months away from the PS5 and still don't know price, launch line up or date.

I like how you think. I'm in no hurry to pay up.

Keep this game of chicken going you guys! Keep staring each other down!

More like very scared because everything points at a higher price for their consoles and they don’t have a low end console like Microsoft. That’s why they are waiting for XSX and XSS prices and adjust accordingly.

At least no one will be disappointed, after this initial shock.

Personally I'm glad that they will have something for PSVR. It will probably be the last relevant stuff for it while we wait for PSVR2.

I’d say it’s more the actions of a Sony worried about a launch delay, myself...

Do you mean price and date? It is getting late, but I think we pretty much know what to expect - $500 (for the physical models) and November launches.

Games-wise we already have more stuff than most console launches, especially if you include stuff like Cyberpunk and Assassin's Creed.

What is late to being revealed is the Series S. I imagine that HAS to be officially revealed soon.

Maybe... but nothings actually officially been released, has it? We have no official indication of price, launch date or launch line up.

All seems very, very late to me 🤔

Man, its like they dont want people to buy their new product.

I said this before and I'll say it again, whoever is in charge of sony right now should be fired.

How is it either arrogant or overconfident? If anything, it's being overly cautious, each refusing to show their full hand first. It is MS and Sony are doing the same thing.

Still, a State of Play for PS4 and VR games doesn't mean their won't be an August event for PS5. They are still supporting these platforms, which is a good thing.

Guess that means we will get Series X price first.
Pretty much. Feels like Sony is hellbent on not talking about Price until Microsoft does. Not sure what to make of it. Hmm definitely feels like we will not be seeing a 399 box from PS. If we were they would have said something by now.
