Xbox have no exclusive games, they're all on PC too. Therefore there's no reason to buy an XBox if you own a decent PC. If Sony follows suit then well, why wouldn't everyone play on PC? I guess before long only Nintendo will be selling home consoles.
So what, the PS4 version will work in a PS5 but it won't boost the resolution/framerate without paying a charge? This is going to look very bad if basically all other games do it for free.
That's... a really strange and annoying move. I can't see any reason why they couldn't work. Especially for local multiplayer. They just want us to buy more controllers instead of using the spare DS4s we'll have lying around?
It does feel like a 'Well we're not going to release price and date yet...' to Microsoft. If Apple can announce and then drop a new iPhone shortly after there's no reason preorders for the PS5 really need to happen that far in advance.
Got mine yesterday. I thought it meant I had been a subscriber for 10 years and it was to celebrate that but I just realised I haven't been subscribed for quite that long so it's for Sony's anniversary... Guess it was just random and I got lucky then.
If Microsoft do this Sony have to follow suit. It makes a lot of sense as well, why do we have to pay to play online when you don't on PC? And why for so much when some of us don't care about the free games or deals?
Infamous: Second Son's trophies worked well, I can't stand trophies that make you run through the game twice but that game was fun and short enough that I did. God of War also had a good trophy list, with some challenge. TLoU on PS3 had one of the worst imo.
That wolf could have gone down way quicker. Did you notice it got stunned and you could do an attack then but the person in control didn't bother? Same for the human enemy after, one stomp when he was on the ground took off most of his lifebar.
I tried to do this a few days ago and it didn't work, I assumed there was a skill I'd unlock later on for it. Guess I just mis-timed it or wasn't quite close enough to the enemy or something then...
In particular I want to know what will happen for Cyberpunk. If the PS5 comes out and the only edition to buy is the PS4 version, it will work because it's backwards compatible. CDPR can make a PS5 Patch to upgrade the game, if they want to but by default it'll just run like the PS4 version, but from an SSD so faster loading? Or will the PS5 have a boost mode like the PS4 Pro allowing for better resolutions/frame rates with no input from the developer? That I guess is what I want Sony to confirm.
Exclusives are key. I'll always buy a Nintendo console for their system-sellers and same for Playstation. On the XBox side I used to like Halo and Gears but after a number of sequels just grew bored of them and more interested in new mulitplatform shooters.
£350 was the RRP for the PS4 and Pro at launch so I think the Digital edition will match that. Even sold at a loss the gains from digital game sales will be substantial. The version with a disc drive on the other hand... my guess is about £450.
Love the time loop concept. It's pretty much a roguelike I guess. I do wonder how difficult it'll be to finish and how frustrating when you die and have to do it over again though...
If this is the full original game plus a new bit of story I'm not interested. If it's like Lost Legacy I'm game. The first Spider-Man game was alright but I don't want to replay it really and especially not pay again full price just to experience the bit that's new...
I think a middle ground is best. Too much talking on stage can be boring but a complete absence with a sizzle reel reduces the hype imo. I guess what nintendo has done with swapping back and forth between the devs talking and gameplay is what I like best. It being pre-recorded & edited should reduce the awkwardness and any waffling.
Showing off the idea/concept with a cinematic trailer is all well and good to build up a bit of hype and interest but what everyone wants is to see the actual game, how does it play and how it really looks. Especially since we're currently looking forward to seeing just what the leap forward PS5/next gen will bring
Back in the earlier games with Desmond I liked the present-day stuff but now... They should just stop with shoehorning it in. Between Black Flag, Origins and Odyssey (where the assassin stuff felt unnecessary) they should just rebrand the whole thing. I'd be more excited going into a story not expecting assassins and templars, again.
This is exactly what I was expecting. Sony won't delay the launch unless MS do. Stock will be low. The price point is higher than expected however, especially since MS will be trying to undercut them and reverse the roles they had when the XB1 launched. More powerful and cheaper would certainly increase sales.
Wouldn't removing texture from the middle section reduce grip? : / Launch DS4s had awful quality sticks that practically fell apart, the newer version I've had no issues with.
The main thing I want to know is, I assume it doesn't have back-buttons or they'd have mentioned them, so does my recently-purchased attachment fit with this controller? or if not hopefully they'll release a new model quickly as I've gotten so used to them. I'm honestly surprised as the one 'next-gen' controller feature I wanted was built-in back buttons...
I would go digital but don't really want to pay £18 extra for a standard edition... If people are getting theirs early though maybe mine won't be delayed after all.
The numbers shouldn't really be surprising, Apex Legends was a new IP and Call of Duty is Call of Duty. If Blackout had been free to play it would have beaten that too I reckon. That said, I tried Warzone but much prefer Apex.
I don't see why it would need a port, the PS5 should be backwards compatible. So long as the servers are still up and running for the game there shouldn't be any issue.
A PS5 Bayonetta game would be stunning. It's such a shame it's relegated to the weakest platform at the moment, the games are still amazing but they could look so much better.
I wasn't happy FFVII was moved so close to Cyberpunk but then that moved back so at least they aren't crowding each other... Cyberpunk being so close to the PS5's release means I might just wait and play it on the stronger console. Looking forward to seeing how PS4 games work and if they just run better or will look better too with patches or whatever.
Just imagine. Buy a PC and you can play all PS5 and XBoxSeX games on it and you also don't have to pay a subcription to play online. I don't really understand why Xbox is okay with not making their consoles necessary, I doubt Sony will do the same : /

Re: Free-to-Play Action RPG Genshin Impact Launches on PS4 in September
I was interested in this already, surprised it's FTP. Guess that means I'll give it a go for sure instead of needing to wait on reviews etc.
Re: PS5 Uses Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 6 for Improved Performance
Improved WiFi is good to hear. WiFi connections are so bad for some fighting games it's not even worth trying to play with anyone that isn't wired.
Re: PS5 Price and Release Date Rumour Is Making Headlines in Japan
It's believable. Miles Morales had better not be full priced since it's a shorter game than the last.
Re: Square Enix Considers Trials of Mana a Major Sales Success
Hopefully we get a new Mana game then.

Re: PlayStation Maintains Facebook, Instagram Boycott
I don't like how I can't post screenshots or videos directly to FaceBook using my PS4, I assume this was why they took that function away?
Re: You Can't Use PS4's Controller to Play PS5 Games

Re: State of Play Confirmed for This Week, Will Focus on PS4 and PSVR Games Along with Some PS5 Game Updates

Re: Sony's Sending Free PS Store Credit to PS Plus Members

Re: Poll: Would You Still Pay for PS Plus if Online Multiplayer Was Free Elsewhere?

Re: PS4 Game Upgrades on PS5 Will Be Up to Publishers, But Sony Will Offer Flexible Support
