Poll: Do You Plan on Buying a PS5 After Sony's Deep Dive Video?

I mean, Horizon 2, we all know it's coming. What else can I say?

Too early for me to say yet. There's very little info on what games are going to be on it.

I still plan on getting a PS5 and I don't have any interest in the Series X, especially since I can get Game Pass on my PC.

Most definitely. Even without a clear message on backwards compatibility, my digital library is too large to walk away from. Plus, Sony puts out the type of games I like. The real question is will Xbox offer anything that entices me to buy one of those as well. They didn't this generation.

Yep of course i am

although i might not get it at launch anymore, i don't really feel the need right now but that can change in the future depends on what happens when they do an actual consumer reveal event

ofcourse i'm still gonna buy one.

if not for the specs (which are great) than for sure for the sequels to the awsome first party games we got this gen and the new IP's.

and for the pc gamers among you,remember that not every exclusive will go to pc,and the ones that do will have you wait a year or so.

The console and games haven't even been revealed yet....Gamers truly have 0 patience

definitely getting the PS5 day one I hope.

Yep PS5 for me. It took MS a whole generation to start making the moves they are now and I’ve got no respect for that. Don’t know how Phil’s still in a job tbh. Also the fact they shelved PGR doesn’t help them win me back.

PS5 and Switch is more than enough for me...

Swearing off the PS5 this early based on one video might be the dumbest thing anyone could do. Even if you did, I'm sure you'd change your tune in a few months.

For the first time ever, I'm going green. However, I will absolutely 100% be getting a ps5 at some point, there is no way in hell that I am passing up tlou2 (remastered), spider-man 2, horizon zero dawn 2, god of war 2, and all the other goodies Sony deliver.

I'm going to buy the next-gen console that has god of war 2, spider-man 2, next ND games, ghost of tsushima 2 (or the 60 fps patch version), days gone 2, persona 6, and many many great exclusives

There's no way I'm changing side for an essentially 15% meaningless difference on paper, which many devs says on twitter is misguided I might add :simple_smile:

Nope. Bring me GTA 6, Silent Hill or Witcher 4 and I'll be tempted in a couple of years when they release.

Too early for me at the moment. I will more than likely have both eventually

Nope. Bring me The Witcher 4, GTA 6 or Silent Hill and I might feel tempted when they release on the new console....

I am in a fortunate place in life that I can get both. So, that's what I am going to do.

Series X will probably be my multi-platform/Microsoft exclusive titles (notice, I said Microsoft, not Xbox) and PS5 will be my exclusives-only machine (with maybe a sprinkling of multi-platform games).

Basically, it's the same setup I have with my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I am happy that the PS5 is confirmed to at least run PS4 Pro profiles of games where applicable.

@Constable_What i'll be honest that sort of stuff never bothered me because i keep my old systems

i have my PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 all set up under my TV

but i can see why others would be bothered

TBH Xbox sounds appealing at this moment. Not enough information from ps5. Let's see what they have to show,! Based on machine it is. Games can turn everything around,!

@FullbringIchigo I was going to trade my PS4 Pro in on day one for the PS5 but it looks like that may not be the case.

I think it is very strange what they are doing tbh. They say it is the same architecture but it runs too fast for PS4 games. Can they just not tweak the speed down to emulate the PS4.

since there is no ps2/ps3 and half arsed ps4 backwards compatibility, i will just wait for the ps5pro.

I'll be getting the PS5 on day 1. There's nothing been said or shown to convince me otherwise. As far as I'm concerned it all looks good so far.

Day one just like the PS4. I've been playing on Playstation since it came out and they've always had the games I'm interested in. If Microsoft suddenly come up with a few titles that look like my kinda thing I'll get them for my PC.

I need more info on PS5, but every time Sony talk PS5, i feel less interesting on buying one. And MS been the opposite, everytime they show something i get more interesting.

I will inevitably get a PS5. Almost certainly before the Xbox series X. Given the situation with backwards compatibility it will have to be justified by a new game rather than simply quality of life improvements on PS4 games.

@Octane I'd pick Horizon 4 over Horizon 2 any day of the week

I might get both but if Sony can match or surpass Microsoft's BC then I will primary play on PS5 although if more games of Sony keep showing up on PC I might just join the master race 😁

I'll probably grab one eventually. How soon depends on features, pricing, and exclusives.

If it's priced reasonably, there's boosted support for some of the more demanding PS4 games via free patches or however else, and stuff like Silent Hills, Persona 6, and HZD 2 are announced, I'm buying that b*tch ASAP.

Otherwise, I'll hold off until prices drop and it has accrued a number of attractive exclusives.

I won't write off Microsoft completely, but it'd take a pretty dramatic difference in the quality of exclusives and/or third party support for me to consider jumping ship again.

Yeah I’m getting a PS5 but with the whole Coronavirus thing, I just don’t think I can spare that amount of money. There are more important things for me such as making sure we keep our house and can get food. Maybe when it all clears up.

It will be mine....

@Octane You could say God of War Part 2. Or FF7R Again. I figure since Squenix has made no mention of the remaster being only the first part they won't call the other parts by number either.

So, FF7R, FF7R Again, FF7R One More Time

Now if you'll excuse me UPS just dropped off ACNH, gotta go.

I was going to pick up the new system as it was, but it was never going to be within the first 6 months of launch. The video did nothing in me wanting it any sooner. As hard as it was to stay awake to watch it, it did not change my mind either way. The video was no different than the rumors that float around, gets peoples hopes up for nothing once it was over.

@TheBuzz. I agree with you word up son

@nessisonett. Thats a great thinking.i agree with you playa.so many stuff going on.i think i will wait for the ps5 pro.plus my ps4 games backlog can last me for 2 more years .even more because theres a lot of games that i neeed to finish first.word up son

Some years ago, I may have considered buying both, but seeing how few ps4 games I got around playing, I'm sure the ps5 will be more than enough for me.

100% still on board, not the best presentation by a long shot but I'll still be there day one!

My PS4 backlog says I should wait for the PS5 Pro.

I don't understand all the technical mumbo jumbo that's going on inside the PS5. All I know is that it's gonna be a brand new PlayStation system and games are gonna look better, perform better and load faster. Day one most likely.

Might wait and see. Sony has been too silent for too long. Makes me wonder if they're having problems they're trying to hide. I was excited but I might just wait for them to be compared.

There are two things that will make me a Day One buyer. More backwards compatibility aside from just PS4 (which is looking like a big no, especially with PS Now), and some amazing launch exclusives, such as Demons Souls Remake.

100%, its just a question of when. It won't be at launch, but i never buy consoles at launch. It will probably be about a year after release

I'll end up with both consoles but for now the Xbox is favourite for launch if not just for the fact that its backwards compatibility is in much better shape and Halo Infinite is a launch game. My decision is in no way set in stone and I'll be assessing both consoles right up until launch

@ZeD yeah but this should clear some of the confusion up, seems it was just that they had only tested the top 100 games and they are continuing to test others, looks like they are making sure every game works before confirming that they will

Sony need to work on their communication though

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/03/ps5_backwards_compatibility_will_play_overwhelming_majority_of_all_ps4_games_improved_framerates_and_higher_resolutions

I plan on buying a PS5 when Spider-Man 2 is released (like I did with PS4/Spider-Man) and not a moment sooner.

I'm worried about cooling and fan noise. I don't want another jet engine. If there are reports that it's really loud, I'll either wait for a Pro version, or a version with better thermal cooling.

I’m planning on getting the Series X when it releases and a PS5 in a few years once it’s got more exclusives out.

I watched the deep dive video and thought it was mind-numbingly dull but then it was intended for developers at the GDC event who would know what Cerny was waffling on about. Before the video was shown I just think Sony should of told fans that Cerny was going to be very in-depth and on a very technical level regarding the specs of the console and that no games and the console itself would not be revealed at this time. I think it would of saved a lot of disappointment from its fans.

It depends on the launch games. Sony has stumbled badly out of gate and I'm certainly not gonna be a sheep and commit to one console bc I gamed on it this gen. With what MS has done so far if they come with some awesome games they'll have my buy at launch.

Not sure yet as there isn't too much info available at the moment. So far the new Xbox is looking to be the slight favourite for me.

Im not going next gen until I get a good quality 4k TV. So im going to wait a while and see if a PS5 Pro doesn’t eventually get announced. My backlog is still huge but I know those next gen titles are going to be very tempting.

Both for me. PS5 for the exclusives, and Xbox Series X for Gamepass.

Only if Horizon Zero Dawn 2,Ratchet and Clank 2,Final Fantasy Remake pt 2 and Silent Hills are all Launch Games other wise no.

Of course I'm getting it!

Need to know more about launch games before I make a decision to be a day one buyer.

Either way though I will be purchasing a PS5 before an Xbox

Getting a PS5 day one then the Series X around year later as the exclusive's I can play on the XboxOne X, cannot wait for the PS5.

God of War 2, HZD 2, Days Gone 2, Spiderman 2, New Naughty Dog IP and so on and so on....

PS5 Day 1, word up son.

I've always said I'll be getting a PS5 unless it a complete disaster. I was bored of all the Xbox exclusives come the end of the 360. They have done nothing since to even make me wanna look thier way. I'm actually excited to see what happens next in Sony’s. Plus I've got too many games in my backlog to switch now

@Deadlyblack you can also soon play Horizon Zero Dawn on your PC.

@CmShepard and how long until you can play those on PC?

@Jarobusa Who knows, but I do know I ain't waiting to play those ps5 bangers.
Don't need a series x to play xbox games since they come to PC day and date.

@Jarobusa Yeah, but I platinum'd Horizon a month after release.

I'm buying the PS5 obviously, but not thanks to that awful conference

I always have 3 steps.
1. wait after release for about half a year. If there are no serious issues (RROD, YLOD etc.) If NO I'll wait, if YES I'll also wait.
2. wait another half year for announcement of second version (ps3 40gb version, ps4 pro etc.) If second version is better (like ps4 pro) I'll wait for it. If second version is worse (like ps3 40gb where ps2 support was removed) I'll rush to buy first version.
3. I'll wait for acceptable price of second version (like ps4 pro) and than buy it. ☺️

Of course I am getting a PS5 day one. PlayStation exclusives have been my most liked games!

PlayStation has the better exclusives, so I'm definitely going there first. Maybe an Xbox depending on what they release....eventually.

I'll be getting both but I always lean towards ps. Dont play my xbone much and it's mostly because of trophies... know that's a bit sad but its true. Xbox achievements mean nothing to me but forzas are definitely the best driving games on console

@Deljo Not sad at all man, play the way you want to, xbox 360 got me hooked on achievements as well but once I hit 100k I just didn't care anymore just like trophies.
I started a new profile on both consoles, turned off notifications and got back to the essence of gaming which is just enjoying the experience like the old days.

Do I plan on buying PS5 after the deep dive video? No, I've been planning to buy one all along, and nothing's changed.

Am I considering an Xbox Series X? No. I have a gaming PC, so with things as they currently stand, it's irrelevant.

@crazykcarter if you need a gaming tv look for lg c9 or c10

Even if they cancelled all shows, I'd have bought it, so yeah

I have a Gaming PC and PC Game Pass. No need for an Xbox.

PS4 is 7 year old - needs an upgrade. Yep, PS5 day 1.

I just expected them to talk about the loading times and things like BC. And that's exactly what they did. I already had doubts that BC would extend to ps1-3 for the ps5 so it being only confirmed for ps4 games didn't disappointed me much. I mean, many of the games those gens are getting remasters and remakes anyway so...

This didn't change much. I'm definitely getting the ps5 and I'm probably never getting an Xbox again unless the games I like shift towards it, which I don't think it ever will with how poorly Xbox sells in Japan

I'm going to pick up a PS2 next I think.

I plan on getting both - like I have since MS and Sony released consoles and before that it was Sony & Nintendo. The only thing I have to decide is which to upgrade first as buying both, if they release the same month, will probably be too much to spend out at once.

Plenty of time and more information needed to decide which I would buy first but if I had to choose right now, the Xbox would be bought first.

@CmShepard I was the same, collecting trophies on ps3 and vita without really caring but over the last couple of years the platinum bug has got me, especially for open world games, and your right it changes how you play a little and even takes the fun away occasionally. Like your idea of starting fresh but couldn't do it yet 😁

Almost probably for sure.

The deep dive didn't do anything for me. My decision to get a PS5 at launch will be solely dictated by the exclusives. Hoping for at least one big game that I'm interested in to come out then. I also just recently got a powerful gaming PC so an XBOX is completely off the tables now. I got this PC for Forza, Ori, and other MS exclusives now

I was going to trade in my PS4 Pro for a PS5 on day one... but now I’m not so sure.
I’m definitely getting a PS5 but now I think it’ll probably be two or three years down the line after there are actually games worth having and Sony sorts out the backwards compatibility.

@crazykcarter lg c9/c10 is the only tv that have 2.1 hdmi that you need, if you are gonna go next gen with the ps5. lg c10 is the new model, and its not out yet, but it comes in 48". so i dont think the price will be that high, also there will be deals on the lg c9 that was last year model. if you cant afford a lg c9 or a c10 that gives you 2.1 hdmi. then there is no point in getting a ps5 in the first place. so start saving your money until you can get that tv.

I think it's safe to say that it's the exclusive IP's for the companies that matter the most. Sony's may be more underpowered than X-box's machine, but Sony will have the better IP's. As for the underpowered, with the fact that Nintendo's has been underpowered since the Wii days (comparing them to the others) and they still sell massive amounts (Wii and Switch), that's living proof that it's the IP Exclusives that sell. All and all, we only got a small feed onto what the consoles can do...we still have yet to see games announced and what games will be announced.

I'll do like I usually do - wait about a year for all the bugs and features to be sorted out and then buy one - often at about £50 off the RRP in some seasonal sale.
If Sony sort out the price and case design then I'll get one.

@Constable_What Sony have confirmed that there should be thousands of games playable at launch. Not all games will be utilising the faster components on day one put it will be similar to Xbox where they add new games every week that run at higher resolution/framerate. You definitely won't need to keep your PS4

I'll do what I did with PS4. I waited for the slim version. Hopefully by then PS5 will be refined and have a good selection of games.
