@SamboNZ Well, it has a lot of potential. It's way faster to buy if you know what you're looking for. Of course it has many areas to improve and I strongly believe they'll continuously iterate the store this gen. Also, we still didn't see how the store works in PS5 itself.

About the specific topics you mentioned - screenshots, trailers, file size and wish list - I agree that they must be included in future iterations, but I disagree they're essential from day 1. Why? Because I can't even remember the last time I looked into screenshots or trailers in PS Store (Push Square, Meu PS, YouTube and Instagram are my go-to options). Was there even a wish list feature in PS4's PS Store app? How is file size meaningful info to purchase a game? Not saying these features shouldn't be there eventually, just that if you have a limited budget to rebuild the store and you need to start somewhere, this is a good starting point.

I do understand that in its current version, PS Store is basically useless for browsing. I just don't know how many people actually use it for anything other than "search for and buy game X that I already want" or "browse through specific sales list".

Edit: Keep in mind that a good part of their budget may have gone into building the PS Store in PS5, with the remaining available for the Web Store.

Recently launched here in Brazil. I like it better than the previous one. It's certainly faster and more modern. It's a little rough around the edges though, I feel that there's a lot of blank space and the square blocks are too big. Well, for day 1 it's in great shape!

PS5 will look and feel great, it seems.

And for those complaining: come on, folks! Games Library! Trophies (even hidden ones)! Downloads (with progress)! All this despite the store redesign!

Great to have options if we can't have it all. =)

I do concern about the fact that launch titles and "remasters" can't run 4K, 60FPS with ray-tracing, though. If launch games can't hit it, what to expect from way more demanding games further in the generation?

No problem if it's not interrupting gameplay, however it must be skippable.

9/10, finally! I didn't know about the Explore feature, tried Japan but I guess Sony is less Japanese every year...

I still need to play Origins and Odyssey, so I don't mind waiting for a sale on this one. =)

They could just release the single player campaign in a next-gen remaster if you will. Based on reviews, the campaign is solid despite the fact they forgot to market it.

Not sure I would enjoy if my extra controller arrived before the console...

That said, I still need to buy the charging station and the headset.

Looks awesome! My favorite features are:

• Watching a friend play a completely different game while I play my own, and be able to chat and help when needed (or even play the same game but separately).
• In-game guides for challenges, that's a game changer for me; sorry PushSquare, but I hate searching online for where to find item X in game Y to complete Z. I do hope that they allow community to publish guides, though!

Also, home page reminds me of Windows. Well done, Sony, best PlayStation UI yet.

All the time for the first year or two. Please repeat this question two years from now, hehe. =)

I have a feeling that BC is going to be a huge thing this gen. The fact is that even with PS5 games releasing there's still going to be some really cool (and cheap) PS4 games to buy and play as time goes on. Instead of PS4/PS5, it will be kind of PlayStation games as a whole.

I didn't know Godfall was online only. Surprised by that given it's a hack n' slash action game.

Most likely they'll provide unlocked framerates initially. On unrelated, but related news, I just googled Kingdom Hearts 3 and it also has an unlocked framerate option (yay)!

Hey PushSquare, not sure if you did something like this, but it would be interesting to have a list of games with unlocked framerate options that might take advantage of Game Boost on PS5. =)

I don't get this trend for services-based games. If you're really aiming for it, deliver a complete, unique and fun experience from day 1, then extend it with a roadmap. What most publishers seem to be doing is start with nothing, then make a bunch of promises and hope for the best...

Gotta have my platformers every now and then. This might actually be my PS5 launch game! =)

Some short insights from the support article:

• 'Create' button behaves similarly to 'Share' button; has its own new menu.
• There is going to be a "Games home" section in the UI where we can access the library. Maybe they're moving away from the classic XMB navigation?

Please improve the overall performance, Sony! And make native apps on mobile while you're at it.

Navigating PS Store on PS4 is seriously painful.

By November, I'll play it horizontally. But my girlfriend and I got a new apartment and the architect actually designed a space near the TV for the PS5 to be used vertically (which was a really nice surprise). =)

I wouldn't mind an article on how to clean PS5 once it's in our hands. Kinda interesting that they put some thought on this.

@nessisonett My PS4 Slim attempts to take flight for most of the top games this gen such as God of War, FFXV, Uncharted 4, Resident Evil 2/3/7, Horizon Zero Dawn, and the list goes on. Anything demanding graphics-wise and it turns into a jet engine.

Looking forward to playing games with a quiet console for a change.

Nice!! The liquid metal for cooling and embedded SSD sounds promissing.

Sony sounds confident that PS5 UI is something special to hold its announcement for so long.

Nice!! It's so funny to watch Japanese videos. I can't understand a single word, but they express themselves way more "dramatic" than Brazilian videos.

And you know what, Godfall is actually looking interesting now. Also looking forward to Astro's, from footage it seems to be the Wii Sports of PS5, a quick way to understand the new controller.

I'm so used to playing one or two games at a time, and deleting them once I'm done that I have a hard time understanding how difficult it is for people to manage 664GB of usable storage.

I mean, can you really play so many games at once? Aren't you collecting installs for the sake of having icons on screen?

Maybe Sony should go the Nintendo way and "archive" the games. They would still show up in the UI, but after X days without playing them, they are uninstalled from the system.

I wouldn't mind a score mode. Instead of losing and starting all over with another match, they could calculate your score so far and only the bottom scores would be dropped. That would also motivate people to stay in the board between levels.

@2cents I agree that it provides the biggest visual difference between the versions. It still doesn't impact me much though, because I already see Spider-Man as a really beautiful game, it doesn't add much to the experience. I expect to fall in love with ray-tracing in slower paced games such as Resident Evil where you get to see the details more.

To be honest, I can't see much of a difference. Spider-Man is already such a beautiful game that ray-tracing didn't make a huge impact for me. They could just unlock the frame rate in the original for a free upgrade and call it a day.

Also, I understood that performance mode lacks ray-tracing, does that mean that it's either ray-tracing or 60fps?

@Arnna Honestly? Yes if I play in sequence (which I actually like to do). It's not a graphical improvement, it's a complete remodeling of Peter. It makes me think about purchasing the remaster.

@get2sammyb Hey Sammy, PushSquare could have an article comparing both versions, with a summary of what's new and personal thoughts of different reviewers if it sounds worth the double dip or not. That would be a good read.

On to the next topic: are the enhancements worth the investment if you already own the PS4 version (and played it twice and got a Platinum)? I'm thinking the transition is going to be quite weird from old Peter looks to Spider-Man 2, unless the game has a time-travel story because this new face look younger. 60 FPS and the usage of adaptive triggers sound good as well...

To buy or not to buy? That's the question.

A friend of mine that is studying in Germany took a picture of Tom Holland leaving a pub, the area was isolated and the rumors were they were shooting Uncharted there. He didn't know what Uncharted was, but it was a nice surprise to see a proof the film is actually happening.

This will be an interesting generation of consoles. With Amazon Luna, Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud, it kinda feels like eventually Nintendo and PlayStation will merge with Microsoft to be able to fight back.

Edit: Or maybe Nintendo and PlayStation can merge with each other finally and rule them all.

@deathaxe In Brazil, Miles Morales alone costs as much as PS4 games on launch due to the next-gen prices (R$ 249.99). If I were to buy a remastered version of a game that I own all the DLCs for, that would cost me R$ 349.99 which is waaaay too much for a shorter game than Spider-Man plus upgrades to a game I already own.

Again, I'd like it for free like any other gamer, but I'm willing to pay if the upgrade is meaningful. Not this price though.

As long as games keep coming on PlayStation and studios manage to keep their creativity going, it doesn't matter who is behind them. It's when the studios are locked for their ecosystem that it becomes a problem. And to be honest, I'm not sure it's legal for one company to purchase all others and own the market, for instance Disney had to go on trial when purchasing Fox.

Also, some publishers should just stay far away from any high-quality studios, such as EA. They break whatever they touch if it's not sports related.

I wouldn't mind if they charged a small price for the upgrade in case it really is a meaningful upgrade. But asking us to buy the full game again is awful. I'll pass it.

Everything is quiet so far in Amazon Brazil, but the planned date range is actually November 24-26 around here.

No, I'll wait for sales. Unless it's a game I really want and I'll play it from day one (which is often not the case when I buy games on sale), then no, thanks. The price is too high. My launch games will actually be PS4 games running on PS5 to experience the improvement.

And I don't mean to be rude, I know games are getting really expensive, but maybe it's time to rethink that. Is it really required to spend millions to produce every single game? Sure we want our God of Wars, but I actually love my Crash Bandicoots as well - not every game needs to be a 90h+ open-world with hyper-realistic graphics, hollywood storywriting and characters played by live actors.

So what happens if you have a 4K TV and decide to stick with 1080p 60FPS with ray-tracing? Is the game gonna look worst because of the 4K TV?

I would love to play this game again with all the enhancements, but I'm not buying it again when my current copy already works in PS5. I hope Sony gives this upgrade for free for owners of the PS4 version.

My most anticipated game by far.

Concerned about the raise in prices for games? In Brazil, the new price is ~33% of minimum wage. They went from R$ 249.99 to R$ 349.99 - around 40% more expensive.

Yes! Finally! It gives me the vibes of the early Harry Potter titles that I loved so much. Hope this lives to its potential!

"If you miss the live event, don't worry — we'll have all the news up on the site as soon as possible."

No way I'll miss the event when they finally say the price and release date! =)

Graphics are not everything, but it's really bad that after so long, Prince of Persia is making a comeback as an early PS3 looking title. Hopefully the gameplay is as good as we remember.

After the Nintendo bomb yesterday about Super Mario 3D All-Stars being a limited-time digital purchase, I went with that game instead of any other. I'm waiting for the review anyway.

Gods & Monsters kinda felt like a classic game. It has a ring to it, like Dungeons & Dragons. Ubisoft dropped the ball with this new name, kinda awful.

Street Fighter V is a great game for those that haven't tried it yet.

I got the email and registered right away. Hey PushSquare, what about international players? I'm from Brazil, I still got the email in English, so not sure if it applies...

Looks really good! Btw, I fully expect Batman to show up at the end of the game, or hinted at for a comeback in the next Arkham title.

But didn't Fall Guys release recently? oO

I loved RE3 Remake to be honest. It's a great game. It has two issues that affect its sale IMO: its length and comparison to the original.

Well, if you didn't play the original or even if you did, it's a great game in its own right. As for length, that IS the major problem, people are gonna buy it way more when the price drops significantly. What I hear and read all the time is "Too expensive for X hours, I'll wait for a price drop" rather than "The game looks bad, I don't wanna buy it".

Btw, I got it at launch and played twice already, it's short length is kinda perfect to replay it if you enjoyed the game.

This game is making me want to get a new PS+ subscription. The more I see of it, the more I want to play it. Now this is the kind of multiplayer game I wanted!
