It's the small things.

You mean like accusing someone of being a heartless cheap ass and incredibly stupid?

 

[UltraSUPRA]

The only thing that interested me was the game called Stray. Cyberpunk cat game? I didn’t see that coming.

Everything else blurred into one, nothing new there. The console design is alright, not bad but certainly not great either.

Oddworld? Resident Evil? Destruction Allstars? Deathloop? Demon's Souls? F*cking Bugsnax? No, CATGAME.

 

[TheCasualties]

That Demon's Souls trailer gave me chills. That the only game on this list I'm really interested in. Wish they would release for PC too.. I'll just wait for a good deal.

New game from Arkane sounds cool, that will hopefully come to PC at some point.. God I hate console exclusivity.

 

[TyTheTuber]

I'm excited!

 

[sarkwalvein]

Hmmm... I wonder if it will fit.

 

[mightymuffy]

I know, size of the bastard.... this was clear looking at the shot with the controller by its side: if we don't get a holographic image of the Eye of Sauron on top when we fire it up they missed a big opportunity.....
Thankfully (and it's taken a day for me to find out! Work has got in the way there!) I've since found out it can be placed horizontally - MUCH better looking that way - I might actually buy one now!

 

[tabzer]

First of all, don't pretend to act like you know ANYTHING about me or what charities I have or have not shelled out to in my 48 years of life. Stupid comment is completely stupid. Okay? Thanks.

Secondly, if you really think I don't know the difference between software and hardware... well... outside of saying another stupid comment being completely stupid & not even fitting the context of anything anyone was talking about, I will refrain from saying what I REALLY want to say.

I didn't even have to ask! I didn't say that you were stupid, but your "you don't know me" rant makes you looks like it (on top of being uncharitable). Also, you seem to think that the PS5 needs an extra motherboard dedicated to handling blu-ray.

I read a post before I respond to it. You should try it sometime. Okay? Thanks.

 

[Deleted User]

PS5 really is huge. Even more so when you compare it with other consoles.

 

[Something whatever]

The Sony air conditioner works very well, not gonna lie

 

[Drogy]

no no no no, no no no no no, no no, no.

 

[SexiestManAlive]

YEAAA LBP!!!!

Oh please. Stop trying to play the innocent here. It's not working. Your charity and software/hardware comments were pure blatant insinuations at how you viewed my intelligence. I also quite clearly stated that the drive requires other components even if built in to the same motherboard as the rest of the PS5. I never once said anything about an entire extra motherboard. At all. You injected that nonsense all on your own.

And you want to continue the intelligence insults & make comments about reading properly? LOL! Okay bud. I'm finished with this. Okay? Thanks.

 

[StrayGuitarist]

A game called 'Stray' releasing next year?

Not if I have anything to say about it.. I'M GONNA FUCKIN' SUE!

 

[Deleted member 527520]

IS EVERYONE BLIND LOOK AT THIS

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Anyone else hearing rumors about the pricing? Saying it's between $600-$750 USD. If so, Playstation is gonna have another PS3.

It is rumored to be $500

 

[KingVamp]

Well, at least it might fit better horizontally than the Xbox. I'm more on the meh side of things. It would probably all look better with a solid color anyway.

 

[RedBlueGreen]

Another PlayStation that looks like what someone thinks a console from the future would look like. Great.

I think I'm done with Resident Evil.

 

[Ampersound]

Here is what i don't get, what is the purpose of having a speedy ssd when you still get the games on a physical medium like bluerays.
There you have the bottleneck again.

Games are fully installed on the hard drive on PS4 and the disc is just used for DRM checks. Same will be done with PS5.

Ah i didn't know that. So if someone buys a physical game they need to insert the disc for it to work, and if someone buys it from the online store he won't have the additional need for a disc? I get that they can't allow someone to play it for free while re-selling the game to someone else, but it feels kinda lame.

With games being ~100Gb these days I feel like that hightech ssd will either be way too small, or drive up the price tremendously.

Yes, and it is kind of annoying to have to go look for the disc when the whole game is installed on your console, you have the icon to select it, you can run it but it still asks you to go fetch the disc without a real purpose as if you were a dog.
