Well hell. My backlog demands I wait for sales, but I can make exceptions.

I wonder if they’ll let you play the in game PS5…

I’d love it if some of the releases received VR support. Forza, Flight Simulator and ES IV come to mind.

It’s funny how Sony has dominated the “next gen” console space with its first party exclusives over the generations, yet when they stumble over live service games, leaving their lineup bare compared to past years, Microsoft is there to bail them out! The kicker? It’s mainly because of the Activision acquisition!

It makes sense. Indiana, Clair Obscur and ES IV, which until now has been locked on my PS3, are all games I want to add to my library. But I’m not going to pay $170 to own (license) them. I’ll wait for some decent sales.

I’ve happily tapped into my backlog and am really enjoying Witcher 3!

Looks like I’ll need to wait for the 60%+ sales now. Thank goodness for backlogs.

100,000 doesn’t seem like a lot. I would’ve most likely bought it day one when it initially launched, but the timed exclusivity made we willing to wait a bit longer until it’s on sale.

I wonder what the sales would have been without the timed exclusivity.

I’ll buy it when it hits 40% off. Plenty to hold me over until then.

It seems like they’re acknowledging that it’s more advanced than the PS4, but performance wise it isn’t Series S level and is more equivalent to a PS4. Call it what you want, performance is performance.

HOME started with proximity chat on the PS3. It did not go well and was pulled. People.

Season 2 is sitting at 92% with 51 reviews. Obviously not a definitive metric, but that’s a healthy score.

She is looking wee bit young…
😜

That’s the problem with delayed releases. The Day One hype generates a lot of FOMO and impulse purchases. However, releasing on another platform to middling reviews kills the hype quickly. Now PlayStation owners know what the product is without hype blinding them. I’ll get Starfield, but it won’t be Day One like it would have been. It’ll be when it’s around $14.99.

I have this and haven’t tried it yet!

Risk free preorders. Fully patched games. The delayed releases are sounding like a blessing if you don’t mind paying full price.

“Trey…”

Loved it!

That’s pretty impressive, especially without a price decrease (and it even increased in some locations)! 52 months in the PS4 had global sales of 60 million. I know this only covers the US, but if the 7% increase were consistent in every region that’d put the PS5 around 64.2 million. If you take the 2:1 ratio for Xbox sales last gen, it would put them around 24.3 million Series X/S. Total it up and you have 88.5 million PS5/Xbox consoles this gen as opposed to 90 million last around this point.

He sounds like a pleasure to work with.

If they get shuttered before anything’s announced does that mean they never really existed?

Since we were spared the hype of a Day One, I can wait for this to go on sale.

That’s hilarious. Didn’t want the toxicity reflected on PlayStation.

But in the real world…it’s everywhere.

Sony has historically released games just fine. Their pivot to live service games, majority of which have now been cancelled, changed that. Fortunately for PlayStation owners, as Sony moves into recovery mode, Microsoft has shifted to a multiplatform developer, filling in the gaps. Luck and timing were with Sony on this one.

We need more PSVR to PSVR2 conversions. I can’t believe Sony hasn’t done Astrobot Rescue Mission.

I’m just amazed that 2020 was a half decade ago.

Interesting timing now that Trump is starting a global trade war. $1000 console wouldn’t be unrealistic.

And again, my digital library is where I live. I can wait.

I’m expecting it to be another Microsoft Studios 7/8 rated game that I may pick up on sale. Way too early to tell, but there’s a well founded history dating back to the 360 to base that thought pattern on. Hopefully I’m wrong and MS ups the quality.

The CGI trailer didn’t provide me with anything to get excited about. In fact, it soured my view of the game. And there’s something about having $ in the title that turns me off as well.

Anyone else wish Team Asobi would remaster Astro Bot Rescue Mission so it works on PSVR2? Can’t play the game since I gave my son my PSVR.

This is definitely on my radar.

Deep Down this sounds familiar, but I have no recollection where from…

AI Overview

While you can technically insert a physical game disc and start playing, most modern physical games require some initial installation and updates from the internet before you can fully play them due to the need to download additional game data and patches for optimal performance and bug fixes; meaning you usually cannot play a physical game without any updates at all.
Key points to remember:
Installation from disc:
Even with a physical disc, a large portion of the game data needs to be installed on your console's hard drive for faster loading times.
Patches and updates:
Developers often release updates for physical games to fix bugs, add new features, and improve gameplay, which usually need to be downloaded even if you have a physical copy

Do we actually play off of physical anymore? Pretty sure the major assets are loaded onto the system then patched using online services to make it playable. No real benefit from going physical over digital.

I’d pass on online anyway.

Added to wishlist. Be nice if they went the GT route and offered VR support!

Thank goodness for Xbox’s shift towards porting games to PS5. If the rumors are true of course.

Love for Sail had this tech back in ‘96.

Can’t say I’ve ever paid it much mind after it launched. I got some digital award that I thought would have been cool in a HOME space, but give. HOME is long gone I didn’t give it any more thought.

I did check it after reading the Push Square article on being able to get PSN credits again and found I had $30 worth of points, but that’s it.

Call me whatever, but janky Alien AI in VR is A-Okay with me!

Anything but X?

Does it come with a free change of skivvies?

$200 million to make a AAA game will look cheap in a few years. And $70 games? Think higher.

I’m typically a Day One person, but as quickly as the PS5 generation seems to be running the PS6 will be out before we know it. I may get one, but it’s unlikely.

Loved this game and all of the cameos! Will the PlayStation player structures carry over to the Xbox version or will they be starting fresh?

This may mean that OD will eventually find its way to PlayStation!

The Last of Us 2 released 4 years and 4 months ago. That was the last new Naughty Dog release.

Some people need to step away from the keyboard and get a life. Pathetic.

Sony didn’t like all of your comments and took PSN down. I hope you’re all happy!

Gave me Macross Saga vibes.

Sword of Play seems more appropriate based on the games shown.
