Haha mate, yes eventually.

Only games that wow'd me were Horizon Zero Dawn sequel (loved the first game), the Kojima-looking game and Resi 8. It was a solid conference but not as many heavy hitters as I was expecting :unsure:

Honestly cant say i was blown away by it all.. i know a lot of the fans are going to enjoy whats been shown, but hey it is what it is

So...

Project Athia - coming to PC
Godfall - coming to PC
Deathloop - coming to PC

The only non-first party games that makes me want a PS5 are Stray and Kena. I'm down for either, and I'll be interested to see how HZD 2 and the new Ratchet and Clank game turn out.

Imo, pretty decent conference. I hate the look of the PS5, but I'll be down for a launch buy if it's around $450.

Ah it never changes, when a console design is revealed, NO ONE likes it, ever. I remember when the PS4 was released, immediatly being compared to a eraser, a weighing machine, a heat sink...

the console looks like it's designed to evacuate the heat from everywhere.
it might work flat too (we saw a very very short frame for half a second, the console being horizontally) or I mistaken ?
Thanks to its curved form, the heat will also evacuate from below if laying flat/horizontally.

I'm interested in Horizon2
Ratchet
Kena maybe
Beyond Good and Evil 2 (ah... wait, it wasn't in the presentation)
and 2-3 others by curiosity or for fun, based on their prices.

RE8 looked like an interesting vampire/dracula/VanHellsing game to me, before I saw the title.


Damn, another new Camera to buy ? why the PS4 camera is not enough?
not sure what to think about the controller's charger... it charges from below? buuut can you play while it's charging? I suppose the cable don't connect from below, but on top when you play. or else it's annoying.

A remote controller ? what for? media player?
super ultra HD bluray ? bluray has been upgraded? didn't know.

3D sound Headset, mandatory to get 3D sound? they said the TV could deliver the 3D effect, but headset would probably have better immersive effect.

of course, all would be additional purchases, not bundles.


Two PS5 models.
The "disc version" is probably mandatory for PS4 retro compatibility only.
maybe there won't be any PS5 disc?

Not excited actually, but due to some of those games my attention was caught.
If they only had announced the price and it was $499 or below I would be in for it already day 1....
But they not announcing it sounds fishy, like $600-$700 fishy.

Wow that was one of the worst opening 15 minutes I have ever seen - open the proceedings with last gen footage of a 2 gens old game, then show us basically not enough of the next Spiderman, THEN show us GT7 with the sort of lighting and shadow pop-in the base PS4 would be ashamed of.... I was laughing hard!

Then came Ratchet & Clank. OK I stopped laughing from that point.. Really good stuff, with a good selection of new titles, lots of variety, then finishing off with some real big hitters in Resi VIII and Horizon II. Well done Sony, I was considerably impressed!

Then they showed the console itself - What The Fuckin Hell is that.....:lol: back to laughing hard time!

Sssooo yes, well done Sony, for me that was a ridiculously entertaining showcase, for better or worse! (No pricepoints for either consoles though, guess they're waiting for MS on that one!)

Tempers, be realistic, every games they showed today will come to PC/Xbox, except Demon's soul, Mario 3D world ripoff Sack Boy's adventure, Spiderman, Horizon and (another Mario 3D world ripoff)Play room.

They are not enough convincing to make me or you to buy ps5. The show is disappointing as F.

I still can't get over the fact they opened with GTA V. Rockstar have deep pockets. Shameless fucking money grabbers.

(Said as someone who still actively plays GTA Online)
I don't see the problem. GTA6 is still coming and GTA Online will be free to play

Well, that's subjective... I agree in everything except what can convince me of buying it or not (and that in this case is the price).
