PlayStation has been pretty tight-lipped about its next-gen console, with only its controller, logo and some spec details unveiled. However, we will finally learn (a bit) more about the PS5.

Jim Ryan, the President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced via a PlayStation Blog post today that a digital showcase about the games launching on the console will air next week. The event which will run for "a bit more than an hour" to introduce "the next generation of games" from various game studios.

While it was not clarified if we'll finally get our first look at the console itself or get more information about its pricing, Jim Ryan assured that this event is part of a series of PS5 updates and that after next week, they will have more to share.

The online PS5 event is planned for next Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time which will stream on Twitch and YouTube.

Well to me what you're suggesting doesn't make sense. The PS4 architecture is practically identical to the PS5, while the PS3 is a totally unique architecture that will be a pain in the ass to bring back, and you think they're going to charge less for that? I won't be surprised if there is no PS3 backwards compatibility at all. It could just be PS4-PS5 and that's it, or maybe they decide to throw in PS2 and PS1 because it's not difficult. We'll see.

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



That's great, go make a topic about anime this isn't it.

You've disagreed with me, then posted exactly what I said, contradiction?

Obviously PS3 is different architecture, did you select only the parts of my post you wanted?

PS4 is basically the same system as PS5, but lower spec. Difference is it is still selling, hardware and software.

All I said was what I thought was most likely and I still think this.

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

preety sure they already said backwards compat is only with ps4, there is no ps1,ps2,ps3 backwards compat at all.

they will keep using psnow for older games probably.

This is a very strong possibility, they've had terrible uptake of this service, they need to do all they can to get people using it, or be left behind.

..probably due to codding errors...
Ey up, pedro is back codding us again! :lol:
Not correct anyway pedro: there's a lot more to the whole licensing etc as the post above yours said, and the polymega machine, well that means nothing here.. there's little point explaining it all over again (I'm sure there's umpteen other threads on here for that)
I would expect to see a PS1/2 catalogue on the PS5 similar (if not exactly the same) as what the PS4 offers, maybe not at launch, but soon after - but if MS are pushing their BC so hard then Sony can't afford to rest on their laurels too long there.

Anyway - next week? Bring it on! I found MS's choice of showing off 3rd party, unfinished, multplatform games as their big-ish reveal rather silly, at best: Sony hits us with 1st party games next week, fires a few big franchise names off (maybe a couple of trailers too) and bam, contest over before the consoles even launch (again..)

Holy hell its about time we get some info about the ps5. Now the main thing i need to know when do preorders start and whos taking my god damn money.
...Really? Pre-ordering? When will people learn pre-orders are inherently anti-customer? It's not like there'll be a shortage of units, or any interesting/worthwhile titles at or soon after launch.

Has there even been a great launch lineup? Wait a year or 2. The hype for every gen is peaking but the exclusives are just meh. Gone is metal gear. Gran turismo alsways comes at the mid point. Uncharted is there anymore needed to really wow? God of war just came out. Tomb raider isn’t the hit it used to be even if the last few were ok. Sure have the hype for the game lineups but out of that entire hour I bet people to say looks good but could’ve been better just like Microsoft got

Well that’s not entirely true maybe like a tiny % offer free content for preorders and on physical Nintendo on its games has limited free give away a like pin sets but yes no other reason to preorder unless they offer you something like a $$$ discount :blink:

"The PlayStation 5 500GB console will be priced at just $500 at launch, while the PlayStation 5 2TB console will be priced at $700 at launch."
I needed something to say so I could say that I'm first, but somebody probably already beat me.
so $200 for 1.5 TB storage increace
is $ony becoming Apple now

I always found it incredibly weird to dump the whole entire game from the disk to the HD. If I wanted to do that I would have just bought digital the point of the disk was not to use that much of your HD space

The point of discs is you can wrap them up and give them as birthday and christmas presents.
And not everyone has bandwidth to download 50gb games.
They also look good on a shelf.

Really if my frigging memory serves me correctly "and im pretty fucking sure it does" the last 2 gens maybe 3 have sold out pre-release and they were sold for 3x as much before the holidays. But go ahead and sit on ur hands and judge me for securing something i want

Poor Nintendo... Can't stand a chance in the field of technology against giants

Really poor nintendo...are u kidding me. Nintendo could easily put the money in to research and develop a real system. But why do that when mario can run on the equilivalant of a fuckin watch . Dont get me wrong i love nintendo but there cheap and pander to the younger and nostalgic crowd more than the serious gamer

they don't even care anymore they aren't competing they just do what they have always done and that's whatever the fuck they want. that's why they didn't even bother to make a console this time just a handheld that can be played on the tv as well :creep:

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
