@SilkySmile89 Some of Blu-ray players can read CDs, at least audio. My LG Blu-ray player plays any Audio CD flawlessly, that's how I play my CD collection via an AV receiver using an HDMI connection.
I got the Alpine Green and it is my favorite one. I would also choose Sunset Orange, Berry Blue, 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, 500 Million Limited Edition and Crystal Blue - are some of these still being manufactured and sold today?
Backwards compatibility for me. I want to know if I can play PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 games on it. I know that I will be able to play PS4 games, but this just isn't enough for me. I have never had a PS3, I want to play many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4.
By the way, the real design of the PS5 is thousand times better than any of the fan-made concepts. It can clearly be seen that the PS5 is a work of professional designers in symbiosis with technical experts. IMHO.
I fell in love the very first moment I saw it during the presentation. Yes, I'm a bit concerned about the size of the console but I'm pretty certain that it's the price for cooling and being quiet. Speaking about the new Xbox, the form factor is reasonable - it is smaller than PS5, but it is really a "box" (read: thicker than PS5), and it has a fan on its top. Oh and I think that Xbox looks cool, but the PS5 looks way more interesting because... you know... that sci-fi look.
I am getting both consoles eventually, but the first one will be PS5. Maybe even at launch, have not decided yet...
@rjejr by "PC" was always meant to be platform / architecture plus hardware combination, which can be translated as "a personal computer (desktop or laptop) (but not a Mac) with a modern OS (Windows, Linux)". It is obvious that it doesn't include old PCs running DOS. Steam, Uplay, Origin etc., however, are launchers / game library organizers, not platforms.
Russia invaded my country and is killing, kidnapping and torturing our people every day since 2014. Does America care? Does Sony care? Is someone in US postponing something because people are being killed in Ukraine just for their race and spoken language? Sony, you don't care about it the same way that I don't care about that black man killed by police. I don't care about any protests in US.
Sony, you are a JAPANESE company, seems that you have forgotten about that.
All of these Sony's delays and postponings only suggest that Sony is doing poorly, especially against the background of competitors.
But there is nothing we can do but wait for Sony to pack its *****. I'm disappointed, but I've just started playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate and it will take a lot of time so I don't care.
If Sony cancelled the PS5 at all, people would just buy an Xbox and continue playing games.
EA will be releasing Command & Conquer Remastered Collection for PC (Steam+Origin). Sadly, no word of PS4 version. But this confirms that they work on remasters.
Just finished Lara Croft GO main campaign on the Vita. The bonus levels are too hard, so I'm taking a break with it.
Finished playing Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (the whole game, all five episodes) on Steam. Started playing Hexen, oh it's an awesome game! Vastly more complex than Doom/Heretic.
I plan also another try to play Saw on the X360. It is good too, it's like a simplified The Evil Within but with the distinctive riddles of the Saw franchise.
Nothing on PS4 right now, besides Puyo Puyo Tetris several times a week with my girlfriend.
Tomorrow arrives my retail copy of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the PS4. Will try it a bit, but I'm going to play it later.
This looks NOT like the 'leaked prototype' drawings. This looks better. Very sci-fi'ish, I'd say. But still I like the Dualshock 4 more. We need to feel it with our hands to appreciate ergonomics.
Even if the memory/disk would not be a bottleneck anymore, we still would have to wait for all that stuff (achievements, trophies etc.) to load from the Internet. The connection to your ISP and further to Sony servers would still be the same as it is right now.
@ellsworth004 Because a) Konami's management staff is stupid; b) Konami is not anymore the company it used to be; c) Konami is not making games for normal gamers anymore. They are making something for Pachinko machines only; d) Konami's always making wrong decisions: they are stupid. Did I say that already? e) A brand new long awaited Silent Hill for Pachinko machines confirmed!
Steam has remastered version of Fahrenheit with widescreen and FullHD resolution. PS4 has the PS2 version emulated. I wonder which one will be this physical release.
I'm already happy with my PS4 Gold Wireless Headset (the "new" one), but there's lack of games that support proper 3D audio. I can name only one with awesome 3D audio - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's a shame that the studio behind it is owned by Microsoft now, which means that the second game will be for Xbox/PC only...
All I care about is full backward compatibility. In terms of pure power, it's obvious that the PS5 will be a powerful machine - it doesn't matter whether it beats XSX or not by raw numbers. The custom SSD will be there too. I can't think of anything more I wished for. But BC is THE most important aspect for me, especially the legacy systems (PS1, PS2, PS3). There ARE many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4. And I would be the happiest person if I could play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame on PS5.
All I know about Fortnite is that it is another multiplayer game... Something like Team Fortress or Counter Strike? MMO? Warframe, something?.. There are billions of it. I don't know and I'm not interested at all. The "biggest" game in the world for ME is The Last of Us... probably. Or maybe it's Silent Hill.
The new controller looks a little thicker than DS4. A little more XBox-y (look at the picture and imagine it without all the buttons, thumbsticks etc - just the bare case). And, frankly, that's good.
That is a nice idea. I think all companies should begin using more colours (again), as in past times. I'm not a fan of the last years trend to minimise the usage of colours in logos etc. (think PS logo, Windows logo...)

Re: Next-Gen Need for Speed Supposedly Leaked with Super Early Footage
@ankehuber Why need you a new NFS game every year? They all are just looking almost the same.
Re: Guide: All PS4 Controller Colours

Re: Feature: What Will Be Announced During the Latest State of Play?
... and after the show, they confirm that all these (and, by the way, all other PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4) games will be fully playable on PS5. Will they?
Re: Take a Virtual Tour of PS5's Array of Accessories
I wonder whether existing PS4 Gold Wireless Headset will be compatible with the PS5. I don't want to buy another headset.

Re: Can You Name These PS2 Games?
I'm playing the very first God of War on my PS2 right now.
I got 5/15 here, I didn't know the names of most of the games in this quiz.
Re: No Man's Sky: Desolation Update Adds New Playable Environments
Still the game without a clear goal.

Unreal 3 or Unreal remake for PS5 please.

Re: Regional PlayStation Blog Sites Now Point to One Single Location
Maybe the PS5 is coming to the US only, and the rest of the world is out of luck?
Re: Rumour: Second June 2020 PS Plus PS4 Game Leaked Early
At least SW: BF2 has a single-player campaign. I would be really disappointed if they gave us a multiplayer-only game.

Re: Multiplayer Game Flea Madness Makes Leap to PS5
We need a single-player game about a flea.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum PS5 Screenshots Are a Glimpse Into the Future
The graphics look definitely better than a regular PS2 game. But a PS3 can handle it, I have no doubt!
Re: How Well Do You Know Your Assassin's Creed Protagonists?
Hey PushSquare masters, we should have a poll about which AC protagonist is the favorite.
Re: How Well Do You Know Your Assassin's Creed Protagonists?
7 out of 8. I thought it was Origins the game which allowed to choose the protagonist. I haven't played any AC since Unity.
Re: Of Course Assassin's Creed Valhalla Brings Back the Worst Part of the Series
Why they just don't bring Desmond back from the dead? It might be a clone or something.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Launches on PS5, PS4 in Holiday 2020
This encourages me to buy an Xbox Series X!
Re: PS Plus May 2020 PS4 Games Announced

Re: Poll: Are You Spending More Time Gaming Because of the Coronavirus Lockdown?
I'm playing more than I would play normally. I'm lucky to have the opportunity of playing games during my work hours.
Re: PlayStation Store Big in Japan Sale Brings Great Deals From the East
There are plenty of discounts for the Vita! I personally picked Muramasa Rebirth Complete Collection, was waiting too long for it to be discounted...
Re: Observer: System Redux PS5 Trailer Gives Us a Glimpse at Next-Gen Graphics
Looks good, but not a bit next-gen. Am I expecting too much?

Re: Rumour: Sony Has Been Working on Silent Hill Reboot for 18 Months
Just a small reminder - while we are waiting for the next Silent Hill, we can play the very first one on the Vita. Still available on the PS Store.
Re: This PS5 Mock-Up Is Inspired By the DualSense Controller, and It's Gorgeous
@AhmadSumadi It depends on the plastic the console will be made from. Not all plastic is changing its color from white to yellow with time.
Re: Silent Hills PS5 Rumours Are Brought Back from the Dead Once Again
The gravestone means that Maruo visited Konami and they confirmed that they had buried the game/franchise.
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Has Already Been Reimagined As a Sexy Anime Girl
The third one is nice. Could be a PlayStation mascot.
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
Does someone remember, how much time passed between they showed us the DS4 and the PS4?
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
Looks like a sci-fi jet fighter. Now we need to see the Mothership!
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone

Re: Gallery: New The Last of Us 2 Screenshots Look Truly Stunning
Ellie's leg on bottom left screenshot looks weird. Unnatural. I mean her thigh, look at it. It's curved. It's cheap modelling.
Re: Sony Wants Playing PS5 Games to Be 'as Easy as Netflix'

No word of PS1, PS2, PS3 compatibility yet
Re: Guide: PS5 3D Audio - What Is the Tempest Engine, How Will PlayStation 5 Games Sound Better, And Will I Need New Headphones or Speakers?
I'm already happy with my PS4 Gold Wireless Headset (the "new" one), but there's lack of games that support proper 3D audio. I can name only one with awesome 3D audio - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Re: Poll: So, Er, Was That PS5 Deep Dive Audience Real or Not?
They were real, but due to the presentation being a pre-recorded one, those people might have been Sony staff.
Re: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Will Support 'Almost' All PS4 Games
@Constable_What You can play some of PS3 games on PC today via emulator.
Re: PS5 Is 'The Most Exciting Hardware in 20 Years'
All I care about is full backward compatibility. In terms of pure power, it's obvious that the PS5 will be a powerful machine - it doesn't matter whether it beats XSX or not by raw numbers. The custom SSD will be there too. I can't think of anything more I wished for. But BC is THE most important aspect for me, especially the legacy systems (PS1, PS2, PS3). There ARE many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4. And I would be the happiest person if I could play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame on PS5.
Re: Nonsensical Rumour Claims PS5 Won't Have Any Exclusive Launch Games
Just don't listen to Russians. They lie. Always.
Re: Game of the Decade: Fortnite Became the Biggest Video Game in the World
All I know about Fortnite is that it is another multiplayer game... Something like Team Fortress or Counter Strike? MMO? Warframe, something?.. There are billions of it. I don't know and I'm not interested at all.
The "biggest" game in the world for ME is The Last of Us... probably. Or maybe it's Silent Hill.
Re: Guide: All PlayStation Now Games
So many games and not one of them works in my country.
Re: PS5 Controller Looks a Lot Like DualShock 4 in New Patent
The new controller looks a little thicker than DS4. A little more XBox-y (look at the picture and imagine it without all the buttons, thumbsticks etc - just the bare case). And, frankly, that's good.
Re: Random: Fanmade PS5 Boot Up Screen Is the Perfect Use of Nostalgia
That is a nice idea. I think all companies should begin using more colours (again), as in past times. I'm not a fan of the last years trend to minimise the usage of colours in logos etc. (think PS logo, Windows logo...)
Re: PS5 Will Let You Choose Which Parts of a Game You Want to Install
Who plays multiplayer today, anyway?
