i like the ps5 and i think it`s a good console, but on the other side i feel it`s not really been used to its full potential and that is quite disappointing.
right now it feels more like a better version of a ps4 than a console on its own to me.

@Bizzy yeah, it would be a dream come true.
but in reality they only care about making money, and letting you play your old games, you already own, is not as "cool" as selling you the same games again.

that`s why i bought a ps3 again and installed custom firmware, it`s a lot fast than waiting for sony to release classic games, and with all the rights required it will be impossible to have the complete library anyway.

like sony did with the disk drive attachment, sony should sell an attachment that let you play ps1 ps2 and ps3 disc games.
that would probably sell a lot an convince everybody to move forward.

from the start i thought bringing games to pc was dumb, so i'm happy if it turns out this is true, more resorces spend toward playstation.

i think there is a reason why there were no prices in the video, and it will be expensive.
i mean when describing the steam machine they were like "wow it has leds".

and lets not forget how the steam deck was going to "revolutionise" gaming from steam fanboys and is outsold by the vita, and switch remained untoched.

hard to say, let's hope that seeing the steam machine sony stops porting games to pc.

the yen is weak and for people that import from japan the ps5 would cost 300$, rising the price was to stop these people from importing cheap, but in return it screwed japanese gamers, for japanese people the ps5 slim costs went up to 800$.

so this is a good thing , the price goes down to 500$ as it should be.

custom firmware ps3 and roms site it is then.

it's not a price drop. for people outside japan buying a japanese ps5 was cheap cause of money exchange, but to japanese people it was 500$ like everywhere else, then sony raised the price to stop people importing, but japanese people got screwed, cause now the ps5 was 800$.
this just gove an option to go back to the original price, and given that the switch 2 is roughly the same price, it helps being more competitive.

it was a step in a good direction.
till now sony wasn't focusing on japan anymore, and nintendo get pretty much domination, for japanese games nintendo directs give you more attention from japanese players.

so i think that's why the games shown were already known or not big, they have to build trust back, and this is a start for showing they want to build up in japan again too, the cheap ps5 for japanese players is a good sign too.

that's why i see this as more of a first step then a big presentation, what comes next is more important from how i see it.

famitsu sales are only good for nintendo fanboys that like to gloat how the playstation is dead in japan without the full picture.
they mean very little when they don`t include digital sales.

the "prestige" of ps1 and ps2 era square is mostly gone, they can blame ps5 all they want but that will not change anything, it probably will get worse with releasing everywhere ate the same time.
they can barely optimise for one platform, good luck i guess.

still waiting for bravely series on ps5 by the way.

the game is not bad but there are some major flaws, to me the story was boring and super easy, the characters are not that interesting and the kid sucks hard, and then they removed any type of exploration and hunting, instead of searching for the monsters they tell you where they are from the start and if that is not enough the stupid bird takes you there automatically, they took out all the exploration and feeling of discovery that i liked in world

hope they port pizza tower to ps5 too

it shouldn`t be the better option just cause the competition is garbage, sony should work to make psn+ a better service, cause as of right now i`m not gonna pay 80$ a year and be grateful just cause other people get to pay 360$.

f**k nintendo to be honest.
they can copy minecraft and put pokemons in it, but god forbid you just resemble a nintendo product.
copying is good only when nbintendo does it.

i have been saying from the start that porting their games to other platform was stupid and damaging in the long run.
so if they start going back and focusing on ps5 ad ps6 and finally listening to their fans all good to me.

if the ps6 is portable porting their games to switch would be dumb. offer a better option and probably they`ll come to your system.

square can barely optimise for one platform when exclusive and with the help of sony, it will be hilarious to see how this turns out.
i have a feeling it will sell even less now that it is multiplatform from the start.
let's see what will be the cause of lackluster sales this time.

everybody golf ps4 sold 100k at launch on ps4 only, with 30 mil switch user more it can't sell half.

would have bought both

as shortsighted as sony porting its games to pc and other consoles annd pushing live services.
it will be funny when it comes back biting them in the ass.

@andrewsqual is it worty devalue your ip and lend them away to subpar products for money and multiplatform? and then they flop anyway.
not supporting this either. supported the game on ps4 and all i get is this subpar port. if sony doesn't care why should we?

he's not totally wrong, the ps5 costs too much, and in japan they had the great idea of raise the price of the base model to 800$ cause the yen is weak and psn+ to play online sucks.

on the other end though, while i like wilds, the game has a lot of problems, the performance to begin with, but the story too is pretty bad, the characters are annoying, mainly the kid, and they made the game too easy, they even completely removed the hunt for the monsters, everything is shown on the map from the start.
and starting with the desert area wasn't a good idea either, the first area looks bland and boring.

in the end wasn't capcom bragging that their main platform was pc a while ago?
maybe focus on making your game run well on ps5 and xbox first if you want to sell well on consoles.
and are the sales slowing down on steam too? if so why is playstation at fault?

@Slayer25c i don't think i'm entitled, they can do what they want, and i can choose to use my money as i want.
does helldivers use different servers for pc? when they had to use psn was the game running on playstation servers?
if yes why do i have to pay for the same thing everybody else get for free?
but that's just me. sony have to earn my money.

@PuppetMaster that's what i'm saying too. instead of wasting money on games nobody asked, it would be better for simple remasters of games people wants and are asking for forever.
with the budget of concord tge could have remastered all of their ps3 games and have money to spare.

if sony wants me to care about their live service games, they should give me parity with pc players and free online play.

they should celebrate by giving ps5 players another port to pc.

might give it a try if all on disc when it`s cheap, but not a priority.
and if the disc requires might give it a try if all on disc when it`s cheap, but not a priority.
and if the disc requires a download, oh well, a lot of better games to play anyway.

if the next xbox has steam, and the online is free cause it`s steam, i might as well go there, and i`m probably not alone.
in the end you get all the games anyway.

give me playstation all stars 2 and i'll be happy

@LikelySatan i agree, only reason i bought a ps5 when i did.

@twitchtvpat what have bend studio announced for the ps5 till now?
can they not use the budget for porting to make something on ps5 instead?
my ape escape 2 is still broken on ps5, but i guess it's better for me if someone on pc can play sony games.

@OmegaStriver that's exactly how i feel, i bought a ps5 just because they decided to raise the price of the normal model to 800$ where i live, so i bought it before the price change and i bought it used cause it was a ***** move from sony.
i like my ps5, but i'm finding it hard to support sony at the moment, when all i get is ports to other systems.
would be nice if they stop taking their fanbase for granted.

@Oram77 astrobot, spiderman 2 and returnal

they just announced a figure of the main character of siren for next year too.

i have a ps5 and just 3 games made by sony, it's been 5 years, maybe they could stop wasting time on porting and use that time for ps5 games, that would be nice.

@PuppetMaster i get it, like they are doing in india and recently south africa if i'm not mistaken, that's really good.
but they seem to have left japan behind, can't they support japan too?

it would be nice if they could support japanese developers too. sony lacks japanese studios.

i think sony should focus on supporting the ps5 first instead of chasing other system players, it's funny of sony is listening to everybody but their fans.

if sony doesn't want to support its system why should i? they promised ps1 ps2 and ps3 classics, fans have been asking for years, and all they hear is live service and pc port. they are just taking fans for granted.

@naruball true, but that is so easy to do i didn't even think about it. haha

can't wait for the ps6, it's like a switch, it can play all the same games except for nintendo games, it's like steam, you can play all the same games, but you have to pay to play online. best deal ever if you ask me

opening up to pc ports was dumb, spiderman sold like crazy when it first came out and it sold ps4 too, the same thing didn't happen on ps5, cause people knew it was multiplatform and waited.

it will be hilarious when the ps5 doesn't sell like the ps4, and the ps6 will sell even less, and they they will act confused and surprised. they just take ps fans for granted but it's really easy to go elsewhere and get the same or better.

@IOI not really complain, just read a comment praising breath of the wilds and slandering ghost for hiding checklist.
they are both good games to me, just find zelda overrated, even 8 years ago.
i just love classic dungeon formula better.

@IOI pretty much. my problem is just with the double standards.
i liked the first game but it had its problems, hope they fix them with the sequel.

looking good to me, can`t wait.

just watched state of play. it looks amazing to me.
it`s funny how people praise breath of the wild, when it`s just a ubi open world like every other, they just hide the markers and the checklist and everyone fall for it, you have the same enemy bases, the same shrines, the same bosses, the same collectibles, even the same watch towers, you even have the same 3 enemies copy pasted everywhere, but hide the interface and everyone fall for it.

@twitchtvpat but that moneys could have been spent to better playstation, why not use nixxes to port old ps1 2 and 3 to 5, that's what fans were asking. games, not live services and ports.

@Killionaire it would be cool if it wasn't necessary for me to pay for the same service they give to pc players for free

@DaveTheRave i went second hand, no better message than hitting the money

instead of following players around on other platforms, why not investing in bettering your system and services to attract those gamers to your systems?
why not bring the classics ps1 ps2 and ps3 that fans are asking for forever? no i guess sony thinks those fans wants pc ports instead.
my problem is just that fans gets nothing from this move, same with pc ports.

would be good to have good news for playstation players too from sony sometimes. they can port all they want but to me on ps5 it means *****.
