I honestly can't believe GTA V has been on PS3, PS4 and PS5.

That's some shameless fucking milking if ever I've seen it.

Tell that to pac man, he's been on basically every relevant home console and most of the handhelds for the past 30+ except SNES, but that had ms. pac man.

 

[MeAndHax]

Did they mention which titles release as launch titles?

 

[Xzi]

all we need is the UI and it will be perfect. the one thing that makes me the most hyped for a console is the UI

I doubt it's going to be much different from PS4's UI, and I'm perfectly okay with that. Microsoft is the only one who really needs a drastic overhaul to that ad-ridden garbage they call a UI. Even just putting a standard Win10 installation on XBSX would be a massive improvement.

I tried to make a console comparison picture cause it doesn't exist on the net yet, the PS5 console quality is only so good cause its a cut out of a screenshot but I tried to enhance it as much as I could.

Meh

I like the Xbox look better

 

[Apex]

Actually my gaming router looks more like the Xbox Series X...

 

[Jayinem81]

Need God of War II.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Okay, I'm interested in Ratchet & Clank - as long as it dumps the awful reboot, and continues on from the Future series on the PS3 (which weren't as good as 2, 3, and Deadlocked, on the PS2, in my opinion; still decent games, Future were, but not amazing).
Also, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Sweet; just get rid of those awful linear "stealth" bits, that force a return to checkpoint if the player character's seen. Oh, and no Screwball, please.

The console itself looks...interesting, to say the least. That's definitely not the standard shape; I wonder if this thing can be laid down horizontally? I've always laid my consoles down horizontally, save for the Switch; allows me to put my Switch on top of my Wii U, on top of my PS4 Pro.
I'd also be interested in the model with the disk drive, since it's far easier for my family to give me physical discs for my birthday/Christmas than download codes or money.
Still, I think I'll wait for the inevitable redesign later on - the PS1 had a slimmer model, the PS2 had a slimmer model (which was one of my first two consoles, when I was a child), the PS3 had a slimmer model, the PS4 has the Pro along with a slimmer model, so of course the PS5 will almost certainly have a slimmer model at some point, or something.

 

[graeme122]

The design looks like an old sky box.. least its finally public

LOL

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Need God of War II.

...See, that's the problem with "reboots", with games that drop numbers after previously having them. I could easily say "it's on the PS2, doncha know", because that really wouldn't be wrong for me to say.

I know right I was kinda thinking that when I posted. I guess this would be like God of War 6?

Could've sworn the PS4 game was the fourth one, but then again I was never a big GoW guy...

 

[Jayinem81]

Depends if Ascension counts as 4 I'm not sure. Oh well they're not going to call it any of these numbers most likely lol.

The Xbox UI is one of two major reasons I've never liked that line of consoles; the UI's never been as clean and elegant as the PlayStation's or Nintendo's various UIs, in my honest opinion. I particularly hate the Xbox One UI, which either inspired or was based on Windows 8 - the various differently-sized boxes strewn haphazardly about, with no clear structure, was utterly horrendous.

I'm still annoyed Windows 10 kept that for the Start Menu in some form (those stupid Tiles that advertise Candy Crush and other transaction-ridden shit), but at least it's mostly gone.

DOOM, people.

 

[WiiHomebrew+Snes]

I actually called Resident Evil VIII and I was like dayum, that's not half bad

I like the 2 Timeloop games, Bugsnax, maybe Ratchet & Clank, probably Spiderman and also stray and the moon astronaut game with the little girl and crap.

The rest were kinda meh for me especially Astro bot, Sackboy, Demolition Derby game

 

[ChaosEternal]

Wow, it actually looks terrible. That has got to be the worst console design I've seen in the past 20 years.

 

[MrCokeacola]

Check out my new PS5 bro.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

I couldn't care less about Horizon, though. Yet another rural open-world game, like we haven't already been inundated with those...also the heroine does not seem friendly or likeable at all. We really need fewer violent women...

I'm not sure about Win10 Home, but in every other version you can remove those tiles entirely and/or replace them with whatever shortcuts you want. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would gladly pay Microsoft a one-time fee of $50 or even $100 for the same privilege of removing all ads from the UI on Xbox. Which is about the price of a Win10 license anyway.

 

[JuanMena]

Niiice!
Legitimaly interested in these games.
This is the first time in my whole life that I'm actually interested and excited for a PlayStation console!

to be fair though, classic shell is good for getting rid of it
