You will probably need a couple of years after launch for all that.

No, you should wait again anyways. I'm doing it too.
@Tharsman I'm totally expecting "current gen visuals" for SpiderMM, it's a spin-off/standalone DLC of 2018 Spiderman IMO.
When i said it will be the ""big"" title for PS5 launch i was talking about Sony point of view, not mine. I totally prefer R&C or Demon's Souls as a TRUE, BIG launch title.
@Tharsman >I’m still baffled we have not been shown any gameplay for Spider-Man I think SpiderMM wil be Sony's "big" title for PS5 launch day. So they will probably have a dedicated "deep dive" SoP just before release.
>it would heavily counter the competitor narrative over optimized cross-gen games. Narrative which MS alone already probe wrong or hypocrite.
@BrainHacker Agree and afraid.
I think Forza will also become a GaaS. They already ditch the numbering.
Hope Fable don't end up been some kind of light MMORPG GaaS.
Gamepass its too strong on MS mind and GaaS games make all the sense to support that service.
@Richnj My problem with XB event was totally not Halo, i think it looks ok, but i don't care about that series anyways. I played the first one on the OG XB and that's it.
My real problem is that everything showed from MS besides Halo is in "early pre-production"... It will be 2022 or 2023 before we got Fable or Avowed, even the Rare game end up being just an early cutscene, since they are still "evaluating gameplay" ¿¿WTF??
I know most PS studios games showed on PS5 Reveal event will not be launch titles, but you can really see most of then been 2021 games. They already show gameplay or in-game captures/footage.
With the aftermaths of XB event i think Sony will actually take it easy. And probably just do a series of SoPs, one for PS5 features overlook with pre-orders/price announcement. And other one focused on Spider MM, plus others minor launch games.
Not really expecting any of the other Big Titles to come at PS5 launch.
@jamberino93 My nephew beat Gundyr from Dark Souls 3 on a couple of tries and he never played a Souls game before.
Most games are not difficult, and certainly not AAA games. People are too lazy to actually learn how to play, they don't want to learn enemy patterns, they don't want to read stats and also they don't want to die. I don't know, they probably just want to press x to see a movie. And there's also game journalist.
@Crimson_Ridley Very common issue with PC ports to consoles. They almost never fixed for TVs view distances. The nintendo switch also has a similar problem with text size on 3º party games.
@dancingstar93 Yeah, i read it too but they don't mention it. Hope they just add it to the vanilla version. Persona 5R has some content that was DLC on the Japanese version but not on "western" version.
@AzlanWake13 Well yeah, but remember, last cooperation with FS was as recently as 2018, so... It will probably be yet another cooperation (i think) with FS but not on near future and probably not with BB. Every Sony home console has had at least one FS exclusive game.
Also, not 100% confirmed, but parallel to Elden Ring FS is allegedly working on a new Armored Core game
@Ear_wiG Martin is only doing the background lore, and if i remember correctly he is long time finish with that.
@AzlanWake13 No sequel, Miyazaki itself recently confirms it's not even on FS plans. Since Sony owns the rights, it has to be a Sony initiative, so... if ever exist BB2 will end up being a 2022/23 project. Anyways, i don't think BB needs a sequel. A spiritual successor will be better, i like when FS do new IPs maintaining what makes this games so good.
@AyanamiReign
>If Microsoft do this Sony have to follow suit.
Let's hope. That paywall should disappear from all platforms
Also, It will be nice to have a pro-consumer initiative by Sony, because everything that is good for the consumer on next-gen comes from MS and Sony just follows because they have to.
If MS do that AND SONY DOESN'T, i will just go and get a XSX, it will virtually have everything i want at that point:
>60fps target for their games
>Disc based games
>The best version of 3º party games
>NO ONLINE PAYWALL
If they manage to let me detach DLC/Updates from games Backups and native XB1 compatibility, it will just be the perfect console.
Anyways, i'm not convinced those rumors are correct, MS is probably just merging all subscription into GamePass. Like Ultimate. I don't believe they will drop the paywall.
That garbage paywall should never have existed in the first place.
@AdamNovice >people should have more respect for what developers want to do No, developer should have more respect for what customer need or want. Nobody is asking 120fps minimun. But 60fps should be standard or at least an option.
Weird... 1. If 4k@60 is Performance Mode, what's "Graphics Mode" ?? 2. Wasn't this the same engine that original Spiderman? It should be pretty easy to get Spiderman run at 4k@60 on a PS5, why is this a thing? Will be RT on all buildings or what?
That aside, i'm glad more PS Studios forget the hypocrisy of 30fps and realize people want to play at 60fps, it's a important part of a good GAMING experience, games are not movies. Really hope R&C:RA get the same treatment. I'm more interested in that title.
Yeah, a missed opportunity for a real useful new feature. I just hope the future DSense back button attachment doesn't have a gigantic and unnesesary LED ball on it.
@Olmaz
> do you have any PS4 games that you would recommend because of their particularly good implementation of it?
No, i don't have it.
I like to have vibration on my games, as and addition. Something that make the games feels better. Like the RE2 Licker example, it's not like you can't have the same scene without vibration, it just feels better to me.
But i don't know any game that has vibration as a "killer feature".
@Olmaz Come on dude, vibration is good.
I like the feeling, specially when paired with sound design, like the feel of "rockets" when you boost in some games. Or on RE2 when you see the Licker crawling on the window it make the jumpscare feels more real. A gamepad without vibration feels incomplete to me, i don't care if is Rumble Motors or Haptics Activators, but i want one of those. Haptics activators are more battery friendly, tho.
The touchpad is pretty useless, but it can add 2 extra buttons to the gamepad, like on Bloodborne.
Lightbar is a gimmick. Same with motion sensor, the only game where is useful is Dreams.
Now, about no backbutton i absolutely agree, i was really dissapointed when they reveal the DualSense without it. Specially since they add it to DS4 with that ugly attachment. I was hoping that was some kind of hint about the DS5 having backbutton out-of-the-box.
Also, i hope they pop up the OPTION and SHARE buttons, they are awfully made in DS4.
That's a really beautiful cover. And actually looks good with the white stripe and blue plastic. It's a shame that some devs don't care about cover arts anymore.
@kyleforrester87 The same White header on a Black box looks a LOT better, and make all the sense with the console theme. A wish companies do this kind of polls/surveys before making a decision not after everything is set. You can see even with just PSqure people, black is alredy going ahead...
@ankehuber Agree, i see a flood of TLoU2 at second hand stores right now, you can just got one of those for 40 usd, play it and resell it later for some cash. And thats for a.. 2 weeks old game?
