[Killer Sakoman]

Ok, I am cooling down a little

 

[Neo Blaster]

Oh shit, another mega-ton on that PS Blog.



Horizon:Forbidden West is cross-gen. I do remember reading rumors about development starting as a PS4 title first.

So, no flight nor any gameplay mechanics dependent on fast loading...

That's a bummer.

 

[thebigmanjosh]

Why didn’t they announce Demon's Souls as a launch title at the event? Why make Miles and Horizon 2 cross gen???




What stupidity is this?

Yeah I've defended their marketing up to this point, but this was such an easy opportunity for them to highlight exclusive launch games and they whiffed big time.

That info should not come from Geoff Keighley or a Blog post.

 

[megreotsugua]

They talked SSD SSD and cache scrubber and new experiences and all garbage then release games on PS4 and PCs. What the fuck? They fucked it it up too hard that Tim dog didn't even think of such a thing to spread as FUD.

Spider-man and Horizon probably started development on PS4. There are many games that Sony still hasn't announced for PS5. Unlike Microsoft, they don't want to just put a CGI trailer that doesn't do anything. All games are running on PS5 and soon to be release.

Demons Souls is not coming to PC btw.

 

[SlimySnake]

Calling it now, GT7 and Returnal might be cross gen titles too.

GT7 looked cross gen as fuck.

I dont think You understsand. The whole industry were not ready for this big transition. These are games that were all under development with the current gen in mind and moved to ps5.

But dont be naive to think that this cross-gen shit is here to stay. Obviously there Will nextgen only games

the entire point of first party is to be ready for next gen when we know third party wont be. thats their sole purpose. to sell consoles.

That's a bummer.

For sure. PS4 can't keep up.

 

[IntentionalPun]

just like hzd. It doesn’t negatively impact the budget for the initial release. That’s what people are happy about. Supporting PC does is not free

Sure if that's your gripe I get it.

A staggered release is fine for me; I'd probably double dip at times even.

#GLASSHOUSE...

It's good to be a multi-console gamer.

Your posts are basically you defending Xbox against all, who you fooling with that to be impartial?

 

[FunkMiller]

Shit. Both places where I pre-ordered are already out of stock

 

[Dave_at_Home]

GOD FUCKING DAMN

I was so close to pre-ordering from Walmart. I had it in my cart and was putting in my address info when it told me they are out of stock. SHIT. I blame the fish.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Or, you know, use a condom and keep fuckin' ?

Only if they're flavored

 

[Thedtrain]

Haha same

 

[sircaw]

Alright I’m finally adding you to ignore. Good lord you’re obsessive lol

this is like some sort of highlander movie only with fish in it.

Just me and you left now shark face, you overgrown sardine.

 

[cudiye]

Where was the goddamn U.I. Sony??

 

[BoxFresh123]

Ooooh yeah

 

[gt_connect]

Sorry guys, but horizon fw coming to ps4 is disappointing, it was supposed that this game would take total advantage of next gen ps5, and now they do that, didn't like this move by sony. While spiderman I can say that it can launch on ps4 just fine, obviously, there is enhancements in ps5 version, but horizon was a mistake

 

[WakeTheWolf]

Got my pre order through Game but they didn't take my money wtf

 

[MistBreeze]

OK I know somethings happens that are unexpected but my impressions are as follows:

- final fantasy 16 looks ff15-2 gameplay and feel wait and see but if they improved the combat system and the open world missions and structure maybe it will be an ace in the hole ( big get for sony as ryan macaffry said )

- miles morales - horizon fw - sackboy being all cross gen games let not fool ourselves it is all clearly start devolopement in ps4 and later ported to ps5 engine and stuff all designed to ps4 so they can not change game design to fully take leaverage of ps5 also they want 120 million install base

- demons souls remake - astro bot - destruction all stars - ratchet and clank are only ps5 tittles for the time being so we have some games to justify our purchase of ps5

- lets not forget the prices are really great and the day one launch line up are miles better than ps4 launch remember kill zone shadow fall and knack

- finally gow2 in 2021 is huge and unexpected

Sony Japan says the PS5 USB ports are 10 Gbps.

PS4 and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S are all 5 Gbps.

 

[Emmy]

Sony is too scared to leave their PS4 install base behind. Well, Sackboy for PS4 is okay, but Horizon FW and Miles Morales too? Not a good decision. Sony is a bit greedy here. Especially after Jim's comments about "wanting to give something that is only possible on PS5".
Also, it won't be too fun for Guerilla to cut down their game so it can be played on a PS4. Such a missed opportunity!

 

[XO_o]

 

[Rudius]

Sony's new marketing team is in shambles. The talk of the town should be $399, $499. Instead it's about exclusives going to PS4 and PC (aka no need to upgrade) + $70 games. Not the right massaging when trying to sell 150 million consoles but hey... those are the geniuses they hired.

PC gaming looking nice in 2021/2022 once MS delivers on that nVidia I/O. I'll leave it that.

It was a bad day for PCs with the real 3000 series performance lower than advertised, but then Sony came to the rescue with Demon's Souls and higher game prices. Who would have thought?

edit: no Demon's for PC...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Anyone from Canada find a place to pre-order?

I'd take a stab Walmart might be first. So keep an eye out.

WM Canada already has a dedicated PS5 page showing games at $80-90.

[Sethbacca]

What will separate PS4 and PS5 versions of HFW? Some brand new game mechanics? Much richer world simulation? Smarter AI? Or just visuals? If it's just visuals, then it's not a fully fledged PS5 game. I want games that are not possible on past-gen consoles. Just being prettier doesn't do much for me at all.

It's game design that truly defines generations on consoles, not graphics!

This is kind of where I'm at. The verbiage says "versions of games" not explicitly cross gen. I have a feeling a lot of shit is gonna be cut or severely downgraded. I'm not disappointed in the least but I was buying regardless

 

[BlueXImpulse]

You got your order in yet Kylie?

Guarantee Horizon was a PS4 game that too long to finish.

 

[FunkMiller]

They don’t until a week before launch. Relax

 

[saintjules]

Thanks for the tip on that tweet HeisenbergFX4 . One down, two to go. Series X and RTX 3080 lol

FYI if anyone does Walmart US, they charge the entire amount on your card right away. At least for me.

 

[sircaw]

GOD FUCKING DAMN

I was so close to pre-ordering from Walmart. I had it in my cart and was putting in my address info when it told me they are out of stock. SHIT. I blame the fish.

I got my preorder done just as you messaged me, cough sorry

 

[kyliethicc]

You got your order in yet Kylie?

No still thinking/trying to find stock. I want an amazon order.

 

[FunkMiller]

So, is FF Ps5 exclusive?

Shit show comes from Sony tonight.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sony PR working OT after the show. First Demons Souls, now FF.

I guess it was another typo!

 

[Entroyp]

Sony Japan says the PS5 USB ports are 10 Gbps.

PS4 and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S are all 5 Gbps.

Oh man that would be neat! Backing up my games will be fast a heck if true...

 

[zaitsu]

The question is, GOW in 2021 is GOW2 or GOW :milers morales

 

[megreotsugua]

I could swear Sony did the mistake on Demons Souls on purpose to make the PC beggars salivate.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

Very dissapointed with PS5

Here are my reasons why
Cross Gen - I don't even mind that Spiderman was cross gen as it's using the same city and engine. Sackboy I expected that to be cross gen anyways due to basic graphics. But Horizon being cross gen is a huge dissapointment for me. I assumed all 2021 Sony published games would be full next gen only games. Now it has me questioning God of War 2, for something that would have hyped me especially that it's 2021, now making me question if it's cross gen as well.

Game Price Hike - UK price for a game is £70, to be fair I've never bought games digital anyways and retail is cheap if you can wait a few months but I'm questioning does this mean I have to wait even longer for cheap games as I usually buy games at £35ish.

Final Fantasy 16 - The footage just didn't excite me, not just the underwhelming graphics but not a fan of the setting.

PS4 Enhanced Games - No mention of PS4 games getting patched. In fact are people forced to buy Spiderman Remastered if they want to get a upgrade for that game, if PS4 Spiderman owners don't get a free patch that would be a huge blow.

I'm still buying a PS5 day one but I think I will hold off buying any games and play my PS4 backlog especially with the few extra games on that PSN Plus collection.

Final Fantasy graphics ard okay but the animations were really bad specifically in the combat.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

hmmm tempted to pre order now on EB Games site but saw they have some package deals and makes me wonder if JB HiFi will do something similar and JB tend to be cheaper with games especially on the games release day

 

[kyliethicc]

The question is, GOW in 2021 is GOW2 or GOW :milers morales

Its God of War Ragnarok. If its cross gen we riot and find Jimmy Ryan.

 

[sircaw]

right off to bed, actually off to watch spiderman and demon souls (10 times over) in 4k if i can find it,

Have a good night all, its been fun

 

[Okamiden]

The question is, GOW in 2021 is GOW2 or GOW :milers morales

More like GOW delayed to 2022

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Well, I think we know how things will go

 

[Dave_at_Home]

I got my preorder done just as you messaged me, cough sorry

 

[SlimySnake]

GOD FUCKING DAMN

I was so close to pre-ordering from Walmart. I had it in my cart and was putting in my address info when it told me they are out of stock. SHIT. I blame the fish.

thats why u use google chrome. literally one click and it populated my name, address and then another click for my credit card.

yes, google is selling all information to chinese and russian governments but thats a small price to pay for a ps5 at launch.

 

[Neo Blaster]

wtf 1080p for 60 FPS?

RE8 looked meh and stuttering and now DMC5 needs to lower to 1080p to achieve 60fps?

Don't tell me Dusk Golem was right, at least regarding Capcom games and PS5.
