The thing I am worried about is that Sony boasted so much about PS5 unique hardware architecture but if games will be created with multiplatform in mind how much of this special technology will be utilised. Are we going to be experiencing poor optimisation of the games?
@get2sammyb there's nothing for free. if they did that it means sales are bad (sub par product, relaunch, loss of market share etc )and have absorbed that in the future cost.
Go to your car dealer and ask for a free upgrade to a facelift model with the new engine because you bought the old one. I don't know why people expect everything for free.
@NYJetsfan123 lots of people are bickering about 10-20% price fluctuation like it really will make any difference for the purchasing decision of young and older folks. 🤣If kid wants playstation will get the playstation. Parents can either afford the new console or not, 50 bucks won't make a difference. Its the same with adult gamers. Have you seen anyone switching to Samsung Galaxy because their long awaited new iPhone was 100 bucks more expensive than expected?
games Dont care about the price. Is 50 quid difference (either way) really going to have any impact on the purchasing decision? It is more of a talking point. How many parent's didn't get you Nintendo because it was 20 bucks out of their budget
I thought it was great. People got too hyped up for surprising PS5 reveals even when Sony categorically denied it. Just watch previous SOP and then tell me again that it was meh.
@Loftimus Agreed. In my humble opinion most overhyped exclusive on PS4. Story looks good on paper but it lacks soul. Even solid combat couldn't save that game for me. I've actually gave it another go after completing TLOU2 and after few hours I have realised although not perfect Naughty Dog spoiled me a little bit.
I quietly hoped that his involvement was minimal for the Horizon sequel but if he wrote most of the story already it looks like another dud for me.
I was critical of TLOU2 as they set insanely high expectation but after that I tried for the third time HZD I have realized how ungrateful I am LOL. Horizon after intro turned into very average story - it's not about story complexity and abundance of characters but about simplicity and execution.
@Medic_Alert agreed, especially about the enemies, there were times i was tempted to put the exploding mines under the doorway but I got fooled into believing the room's empty.
There's a reason such recent game is on PS Now. Combat is a chore and indeed theres no payoff for backtracking like in good metroidvania games. Pretty but just meh.
I just hope it will look like a premium electronics equipment that I wont be embarrassed to have on a display in the living room, not like one of those futuristic gaming PC cases.

Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for February 2022 Do You Want?
Horizon - I want to play it but I can't afford full price disappointment with simplistic narrative execution and corny dialogue.
Sekiro - loved Bloodborne but DS3 was underwhelming - still holds the price though - wouldn't mind the demo
GTA - Trilogy - even when lambasted in reviews I still kind of want to give it ago.
BTW the question is about the games I want not what I should reasonable expect LOL

Re: Japanese Preview Image Shows an Actual PS5, Makes It Look a Lot Smaller
its a basketball shoe, great design on its own but it doesn't go well with anything
Re: Random: PS5 Looks Way Better As a Skyscraper Than a Games Console
PS5 is like a basketball shoe. Sleek and futuristic look on their own but good luck to match it any outfit(furniture) and look good

Re: This PS5 Mock-Up Is Inspired By the DualSense Controller, and It's Gorgeous
@themcnoisy same here. I'd prefer it to look like a premium piece of electronic equipment.
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
I really hoped PS5 will look like a piece of premium electronic equipment rather than a toy and this is not really good prognostic.
Re: Control - Was Remedy's Return to PlayStation Worth the Wait?
There's a reason such recent game is on PS Now. Combat is a chore and indeed theres no payoff for backtracking like in good metroidvania games. Pretty but just meh.
