@Stepan because it rewards brand loyalty and retains those of us bleeding off to PC due to not having to pay for PS+ Premium to emulate older games over there.

No seriously, its become stupid easy for me to put all my old game discs in my computer, digitize the contents and run the result thru an emulator while my original disc sits on the shelf. The lack of PS1-PS3 game disc playback is also one reason my PS5 collects dusts right now.

@Oram77 I actually like how my PS5 looks like an alien artifact, but if they release a normal looking SKU for people I wouldn't mind at this point (Im now at the point where they need to bring Bloodborne to PC, because I've now tasted Linux and dont plan to return to console full time)

Maybe they should also release them again as a standalone purchase like they did on PS3, it'd be a lot easier for those of us wanting to BUY instead of rent... because as it is, Ill just keep playing em on my PS3 until that happens

@Ultimapunch in time. Rn they should start with MCC

@Lowdefal this approach varies. The last game I pre-ordered was System Shock on PS5, but that's due to already owning the game on PC and knowing it's good. Pre-orders are meant to be used sparingly, and when you have the upmost faith that the game is what it is. With some devs like NightDive, pre-orders can also encourage them to continue doing what they do, as those that pre-ordered the System Shock remake on PC will get System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition when that comes out (and as someone who played OG System Shock 2, that's a nice bonus).

@MrPeanutbutterz the disc drive of my PS5 disc edition is silent. My Xbox 360 E was also silent while playing a disc. Never could say that about the PS4 or Xbox One.

@UnlimitedSevens if you still have a PS3, do yourself a favor and clone your HDD to a 2.5" SATA SSD ASAP for future use. You're PS3 HDD will eventually crash, and that will be your way to resurrect your PS3.

@PuppetMaster Okay, what you want to do to preserve access to those is get yourself an SSD, the PS3 can take up to 1TB without issues, and clone your HDD to it. When your HDD inevitably crashes, you'll be thankful you did.
Edit: probably should clarify, you want a 2.5" SATA laptop SSD, you don't want M.2 unless they have an adapter, but that'll be one messy install.

GameStop should've kept retro games the entire time, change my mind.

@Sequel no, we need to go BACK to what it was like during the PS3, where there was no subscription to play online because you, the player, already HAVE a subscription to play online... it's called your ISP. I get it, paying a subscription allows them to make the service better, but it's become apparent they're just using the subscription to butt-f**k your wallet without Vaseline.

@JSnow2 what's worse is that they have people like me, clawing and screaming for Bloodborne on PC/PS5. They're leaving a massive chunk of money on the table because they refuse to listen to us, the fans, the players.

I let my subscription lapse last year as I dropped Destiny 2... no reason for me to re-subscribe now that they hiked it up to be in line with Xbox. I'll do all my online gaming on PC now.

@Jey887 I personally want to see all of them on Switch because I'm the same way. I just wish they'd bring back the Digital Devil Saga games now.

That just gives me a reason to not return to Xbox after all. Seriously, I may have asked for the port, but that's somewhat scummy

@kingbreww BioShock, Dishonored, Prey 2017, to an extent Deathloop, Deus Ex... these are all founded upon things set by System Shock. Those who liked any if those may gravitate to the remake. And trust me, if the final product is like it is shown in the demo, it's going to be the definitive way to experience System Shock.

FINALLY... I've been waiting since 2016 for them to release (pre-ordered on PC last year, but the game releasing on PS5 means I'll get it on PS5 as well).

I tried to play the 1994 original, but the way cyberspace is I'd have a seizure, and in the demo for the remake cyberspace isn't as bad in terms of flashing lights.

@Saitama117 ever played Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver? If not then it is worth a play, as the story is GOOD. Blood Omen is also still great to play, albeit clunky by today's standards.

Destiny TTK and Dark Souls on PS3 for me. Still play them

@patronmacabre they could feasibly do that, but then they would to create an IP for it. I hope they do it

@Broosh and a Bloodborne PC port.

@Cherip-the-Ripper ICO?! YES PLEASE

@patronmacabre as much as I'd love that too they won't be able to. Metroid is Nintendo exclusive, and Bluepoint was bought by PlayStation. Since Metroid is one of Nintendo's crown jewels they'll be a bit reluctant to sign the rights over to a studio that's owned by one of their competitors

I have a PC to supplement my PlayStation so no biggie. There is no reason to but an Xbox when their exclusives also release on Steam

The PS5 not supporting the Vita is actually a dealbreaker for me when it comes to PS5 Remote Play. My laptop, phone and tablet are cluttered enough and I still have my Vita for Remote Play reasons

Just give me Bloodborne on PC and I'll be set

@colombiashae more and more it's not a war. Specs wise Xbox has kicked Sony's ass this generation with the Xbox One X. More and more it's starting to be the games

Welp, either I keep m yuh PS3 or Atlys remasters all the PS2 Shin Megami Tensei games (Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2)

@themcnoisy we all know that's NOT going to happen. You'd be trying to buy one of the biggest companies in gaming history, no. 1, and no. 2 you'd piss off so many people and with the HATE Sony is getting over their cross-play policy and Fortnite... you'd have protests, riots and Hell on Earth.

@Kafkaesque
While Xbox lacks exclusives, PlayStation lacks basic features that people STILL use on the Xbox One. In order for my setup to be complete, I have to have BOTH systems, which was a shock for me because I'm used to only needing the PlayStation.

Your probably wondering, case and point? PlayStation won't allow me to use discs from older generations anymore and instead opts into you STREAMING your games for $10 a month (need I mention, some games I play DON'T make it to the streaming service and instead are locked to the native console?) PlayStation also won't allow me to use the audio CDs that I own, and instead opts into STREAMING, once again. Xbox provides all fhe features that PlayStation does, plus the two that I pointed out, and it was those two features that I pointed out that kept me on PlayStation.

Exclusives aren't too big of a dealbreaker for me, as I play mostly multi-platform games and PC/Xbox exclusives such as Halo, Gears, and WoW. And while I need to pay a $60 membership fee to go online like on the PS4, I aslo get free games I can keep NO MATTER WHAT ONCE AQUIRED vs. having to remain a PS+ member.

And, while I'm ok with a digital every now and again, I PREFER PHYSICAL GAMES, making Xbox the ideal system for me (with Nintendo consoles a close second.)

My long winded comment boils to this, its not exclusives that some people get consoles for... its multi-platform games that have the best experience on the one system, as well as the features of the system itself.

This is the EXACT same thing that Xbox players said when they found out that Bungie published Destiny on the PS3/PS4, I happen to be one of those people that said it, and I stick to it. The fact that Ninja Theoryis leaving PlayStation is a sweet relief, cause now I'll be able to stick to my "native console" in the future without having to pull out my PC or PS4 to play their games (and I'm thinking about selling my PS4, all I used it for is Bloodborne. Plus I want the Switch, and I don't plan on playing Fortnite on the PS4 anytime soon, with Sony acting like a spoiled brat with the cross-play policy they have. They didn't even extend the courtesy to allow me to continue using audio CDs, so it was manditory for me to also get the Xbox One to continue to use them!!) I'm just watching and waiting for Sony to pull their head out of their fourt-point-of-contact (military vets will know what I mean when I say that,) because they have lost sight of what made them kings of modern gaming. If you are stumped and don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't really played on a PS2, have you?
