One major reason I play on console is for owning the physical release. PC games are mostly digital.

If PS exclusives are released at the same time on PC, which is what MS does for their own games, then that will not be a good idea. But if released to PC much later, I'm ok with that. This is similar to MS' release of the Halo Collection to PC. My theory is that it is good marketing: PC games are much more likely to be pirated and once more non-playstation users are amazed by the old games, then they may want to get a PS5 to play the sequel. But often with marketing, it's all flash but not much substance, which may explain why the PC version of games often are buggy and not well supported post-release.

I don't think the PS5 will have any component so specialized and unique that would make it difficult to port to another console or PC. I think the days of the ps3's cell are in the past. Any console exclusive would be due to a contract agreement and not a technical reason.

This is because modern consoles use components that are very similar to the ones used on PCs. This allows for some of the development to be done on PCs and also makes it easier for cross-console support.

If PC games can support computers from one with a $150 video card to one with a $1000 video card, then the exact thing applies to consoles. In fact, this is already happening with the xbox1/xbox1x and ps4/ps4pro. The next gen will just add another tier to that range.

@hotukdeals Interesting idea. If they can't compete in the console space, find a way to disrupt it.

@Nyne11Tyme Don't forget that their games will also be on PC. So I guess if their games can scale to work on computers of various levels of performance, then the same can be done for their 3+ versions of the xbox. I'm sure this will make it much harder to tune the games for best performance.

Maybe they will introduce a buy-once strategy where a single purchase allows you to run the same game on previous and new-gen xboxes. Heck, why not throw in a download code for Windows version.

No one talks about the HD rumble in the Switch anymore (did they ever?) and Nintendo is the king of selling gimmicks. PS5 HD rumble is not going to be a thing.

@redd214 You hear that knocking and moaning? Yup, it's your ps1/2/3 backlog trying to come out of the storage you hid them in. And you thought murdering your earlier console made you free. Physical media will haunt you forever!

So many bros. I hope there will be more diversity.

I think he needs to be riding a tiger. Or a dinosaur with tiger stripes.

Perhaps there will eventually be a RE2 complete/gold edition or maybe even a RE2/RE3 combined package.

Does this mean it's likely that Bayonetta 2 will be on ps4 as well?

So you actually have to stop and ready the documents or is there a voiceover that reads it to you while you continue?

I think I'll wait for the PS5 version.

Bluepoint has been giving hints on many games... so could the answer be "all of them"? Bluepoint was involved with the multi-franchise Smash-clone, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, on ps3 and vita. So maybe we're getting a new version of this?

@Flaming_Kaiser I ordered the game from Limitedrun. Only downside is that I probably won't get the game until June 2020.

@AdamNovice From a cost perspective, a hybrid approach would be best. I rather they put most of the cost on the cpu/gpu/ram, as that can NEVER be updated without buying a newer system (ala ps5 pro) and let us upgrade the storage later. Does it make sense to use up expensive SSD storage for video clips? It would require PS5 games to be designed to allow for part of it to be on faster storage. Then either SSD can be a requirement for the game or if not, then the user can choose to let the game decide or have the user override the defaults. Also, perhaps having a HDD is needed for PS4 compatibility.

Maybe many years later, SSD will be very cheap and so users can pop in a 4TB SSD and migrate everything to it.

Gravity Rush was the first game I played on my PS4. Gravity Rush 2 was the second.

With three characters, I hope this supports 3-player couch co-op.

When the camera pulls out to show a 3d map of the city, it reminds me of screenshots of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Perhaps Vanillaware should add a Disaster Report mode to their game.

@wiiware stacking computer systems is a common thing to do to save space. And one developer may need access to multiple dev kits at the same time (eg: multiplayer, different builds, server/client, etc) or the dev kits are centralized and shared in one place instead of being allocated to specific individuals.

@rjejr I think cool air is goes in from the center and sides and out the back. So hot air is not blowing into anyone's face, unless it's onto a co-worker sitting behind the dev kit.

Mega Man Legends Remake

Will this be cheaper than the Steelbook Croft edition, which is currently only $25? I hope this new edition comes with everything on disk and depend on a code like the Croft edition (I'm also looking at you, GOTY Spider-man). Codes can be already used by code generators.

This is also a list of PS4 games that I will not buy because they will most likely be ported/enhanced for PS5 and I will be too busy, in the twilight years of the PS4, catching up on my PS4 backlog. Only afterwards will I be ready to purchase these PS5 games at their new normal price of $10-$20, along with a PS5 Pro.

I guess this is a living document, but nothing on this list is confirmed or even hinted at. Gran Turismo should be on here as at least that has been mentioned to be running on PS5 dev kit.

Might as well add Gravity Rush 3 here as the developer did say any sequel would be on next-gen...

It was free for PC a few years ago. Seems about the same. Short and sweet game.

Kevin Costner: "Seriously, why am I not in this game? This is exactly like my movie!"

@Nickolaidas Some PS4 games were very impressive graphically and I think much of that is from good use of high quality textures instead of more complicated models. So if cost is a concern for the PS5, then it's cheaper to add more ram (for better textures) than to adding a more costly video hardware.

@darksoul77 If it can really run games at 4K 60FPS consistently then I would be very impressed. A $1000+ rtx2080ti is just about to hit 4k 60fps, but not always. But I'm sure 4K 60FPS of some form can be achieved if details are dialed down or re-implemented (easier to do for a fixed hardware target). But my guess is that it won't meet expectations for all games and games will just get more and more demanding. Perhaps a few years later, the PS5 Pro will achieve the expected performance for more games.

I wouldn't mind if Bethesdas started making Terminator games again. Those were awesome.

Man numb to pain. Woman whose touch causes pain. I ship it.

Is it a day-one patch (1.01?) that is corrupting game? Moot at this point with the 1.02 patch being released, but I'm curious if the 1.00 game on the disk will install and run fine if done offline.

This is the original source: https://www.tiktok.com/@playernumber_one

And I think this is played on an Oculus Quest.

I wish Stein;Gate Elite had the option to switch back to the original graphics.

I suspect one main reason is that much of the story happens only within the player's head, such as when in the 'net' or when interacting with Johnny Silverhand. Another reason is that with the game having so many interior environments, it much tougher to find space for an external camera.

In an alternative timeline, this is the Nintendo Super Virtual Boy 128.

No way this is the dev kit. I would expect something more like a boxy pc case. The custom exterior would be costly for no practical reason.

It reminds me of a female hip so I guess someone was going for that sex toy look.

So this is like a Postal simulator? And there are other factions like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon?

New game IPs and sequels may not always work out. But re-leasing a previous hit is a pretty safe move; just ask Nintendo. So acquiring Bluepoint Games makes sense.

I guess this won't be dubbed.

With my backlog, I probably wait a few years to get the complete edition for PS5.

This is like how they took a small book like The Hobbit or Fantastic Beasts and magically inflated it to be 3-5 movies.

If this game will be split into three parts, that is potentially 6 bluray disks. It must be due to pre-rendered cutscenes and I'm rather disappointed with that since I love to see cutscenes done in-engine. But I suppose it's ok for this game since the characters' looks don't change. Are they pre-rendering the cutscenes are multiple resolutions (eg: 1080p and 4k)? I guess swapping disk is authentic to the original experience...

Is the title of the first game final? Final Fantasy 7 remake? What will they name the later episodes? Remark Part 2 / Part 3?

@oatmealwarrior92 one word: backlog

The trailers seem to show climbing abilities, something which was missing from HDZ and resulted in many of my sessions full of trying to hop up the sides of mountains.

I don't have one but if I did, I would put it next to my Boxee Box!

Does using mouse+keyboard on console bring the difficulty down to pc levels?

I think the system should have a lot of ram to hold better looking textures. 16GB at least. If you look at the emulation and modding scene, old games are being made super gorgeous with high-resolution textures.

New console. Time for Gravity Rush 3.

3D audio is a nice bullet point, but I don't think it'll really catch on. For visuals, one just needs to replace the TV, like upgrade to 4K. But for better audio, much more work is involved. You will need surround speakers (and the more the better), an amplifier to connect them all, and have enough space in your gaming environment to sit in that sweet spot between all the speakers.

Most games will end up wearing stereo headphones and while you can kind of get fake 3d on headphones, it's not really the same.

The hardware stuff is pretty hard to get excited about since it's mainly the same as PS4 but faster. But that is a good thing since it makes it easier for developers and great for backwards compatibility. When they try to wow us with exotic hardware like what was on the PS3 or Sega Saturn, then you end up stalling the momentum of developers and weaken the quality of the games.

I think an easy way for PS5 to wow us is to throw more ram into it so games can have higher-res textures. I remember playing resident evil 7 and sometimes I would get close to a wall and I'm disappointed when some of the textures are very low-res.

I think Sony needs to make sure it launches with games that really puts in above what is capable on the PS4/Pro. Otherwise, people will just think of it as a PS4 Pro Pro or a Sony's late answer to the Xbox One X.

Sony is one of the few console makers that have backwards compatibility out of the box (ps2, ps3). That stopped with the PS4 so its return in the PS5 is welcomed. I wonder if there will be games that are released for PS4, is supported on PS5 via backwards compatibility, and then later patched to support the enhanced features of the PS5. I'm specifically thinking of late 2019/early 2020 games like The Last of Us 2 or Cyberpunk 2077. Will publishers create PS5 enhancements for PS4 games or double-dip us with separate PS5 versions?

@IronHammersFC Or did they mainly focus the testing on first party games and didn't test ALL games.

I haven't played ICO but would it make sense (and be fun) to either extend the length of the current game or add more content to the end of it? I've heard that the original game is kind of short.

So kind of like what was done with the SEGA CD version of Out of This World, where a sequel of sorts is added to the end of the first game. They could have the new content be a prequel, a sequel, or even something that runs in parallel with the previous game. Imagine they add content that ties together ICO, SOTC, and TLG, starting the beginning of a new connected gaming universe.
