PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

Penn

Price is fine, release date is fine, everything on the show was fine...

DEVIL MAY CRY 5 SPECIAL EDITION!!!! F*CK YEAH!!!!

Mr Crispy

Pricing is good, but not enough compelling reasons to buy at launch (for me, anyway).

recyclops

Will defo go digi once gameshare is confirmed.

No reason to buy either xbox or PS5 this year imo

Same. Its a big meh from me.

Gamestop have a facebook post saying available to pre-order now but in store only. Also says anyone who registered their interest in store has already converted to a pre-order and joined a virtual queue.

Final big presentation before launch and they're showing wankery like Fortnite, Five Nights at Freddies and a remake of a decade old game that is the red-headed stepchild of its series.

Zero reason for me to buy at launch. I'll buy it around the time GoW2 is released.

I couldn't care less about Fortnite or FNAF either but they're popular games in fairness.

The line up of games that have been announced so far is fairly poor

And the Plus collection is kinda laughable, yeah its adding something, but when you compare that to Game Pass, its not even close to being worth PS Plus.

Ill still get the console, but there are very few games coming out for it soon that look at all interesting

Not really a steal when you're paying 80 quid a game or hoping for a PS Store sale for the next decade.

I like my digital games but I'd hate to be handcuffed to digital only. Can't count how many times I've seen a game on sale in Argos or Smyths for €20-€30 and the PS Store is still charging €70 for it.

I haven't bought a physical game in years. I am constantly on a backlog, picking up games during the inevitable sales, with the odd exception bought at full price. Ideal for me considering I was expecting 450.

Meh. Wish it came in cheaper.

Also why is the diskless edition 359 pound and disk edition 449 pound when they'rere 399 and 499 euro then for us.

It's about €8 worse off for us, nothing major.

399 for the digital console, I'm set. Launch window is poor but I'm basically getting this as a hopefully silent PS4 with next gen benefits anyway.

Was keen on Mile Morales before as I enjoy the shorter versions of games (like The Last of Us side story and Dead Rising Case Zero) but do not fancy all the cut scene gameplay at all.

Hope press kits included details of BC.

100 difference for a disk drive? How is that?

My guess is it was originally €50 difference but then the Series S being €300 left to much of a gap and Sony had to drop price to not seem massively more expensive to the majority of buyers.

With both Sony and Microsoft having cheaper digital only consoles, you have to think that's the end of GameStop. The likes of Smyth's, Amazon and Argos will keep selling games but even if that half the people that buy a console go digital, specialist game shops are toast.

shrewdness

Underwhelming enough presentation overall given that not alot has been announced for launch. Even Miles Morales still vaguely says "Holiday 2020". Demons Souls looks good but no date doesn't give much confidence it'll be out soon. The prices are as I thought.

The GOW2 reveal at the end wasn't unexpected imo, but the 2021 date certainly was. If that goes as planned, that's a huge 2021 for Playstation.

Will still pick one up at launch if I can even if there's not alot of exclusive PS5 games immediately available.

It's the "you're not American" tax - rather than the UK price, it's the US price that's funny - 499 USD translate directly into 499 Euro. This is for everything tech related; New nVidia cards? 699 USD -> 699 Euro (or more...).



Watched the entire thing - gotta say I'm utterly unimpressed. Nothing that screams "gotta have this". Same for Xbox X/S, really - most games look like they'd be able to run on current consoles, not to mention gaming PCs.



Graphically, I suspect FS2020 has kinda broken a lot of eggs by going "well boys, THIS is what truly 'next-gen' looks like".



Finally - I don't get the hate for the white colour...am I the only one who has a white TV stand?

Tipsy McSwagger

Spider-Man confirmed as launch title

heebusjeebus

Demon's Souls coming to PC too?

DeadWeight

I wasn't exactly blown away by the event tbh miles morales was something I was most interested in but it's coming to ps4 as well

As tempting as these new cheaper digital only consoles are and despite the fact I’m going to be 100 quid worse off... physical media for life, baby.

ShaneU

OK the game just changed

Well, I imagine you've a beefy back catalogue of movies too?!

johnny_ultimate

There is a PS4 Miles Morales as well. They kept that one quiet :pac:

I am very worried about Demons Souls Remake after watching that presentation.
Visually It looks incredible but the problem is Bluepoint isnt Fromsoftware and you can tell they are putting there own spin with the game mechanics and the tone has been completely changed.
Character animations looked off to me , but I hope it will be a different experience if I play it .

Don't think I'll be getting on launch but in the new year when a few more games arrive. The series S will clean up at it's price point with parents.

Why the **** didn't they shout that from the roof?

shrewdness

So Miles Morales and Demons Souls basically confirmed for launch. Its looking better now so. Bizarre they didn't have that after the Demons Souls demo assuming thats true.

US prices are always excluding sales tax.
