also can i say something? i despise the over the shoulder perspective most AAA games are taking nowadays. Usually when i see a game us a perspective like that it lets me know the game's going to control like shit. god of war, horizon zero dawn, fortnite, anthem etc.
First person or fully 3rd person controlls a hell of a lot better.

TBH i would be all for digital if PS4 games were on the store, but i kinda doubt that.
Plus no long ass download times so theres that too.
It's not like you can't get digital games on the normal edition, and the price difference probably won't be enough to matter especially if they have backwards compatibility with all playstation models (or even just PS4)

i hope that Ratchet and Clank aint a spinoff and more like a 3rd person action shooter like 1-3 and gladiator was. because from what i saw it doesnt seem like a typical R and C game

Hmmm unfortunately I may get hate for this but this was pretty bad reveal.... They should have talked more about the actual console versus just showing it for 30 seconds. The games I do understand they should have just kept 1 game to show the "actual graphics" all I saw was mainly cut-scenes. Grand Turismo 7 and Horizon Zero Dawn 2 was basically the only 2 worthy exclusives I seen. RE8 is going to be on Series-X also... but again that should have waited for E3... The reveal was supposed to talk about the consoles features and most importantly the price.

This was a waste of an hour honestly.... this answers ZERO questions about the PS5 we STILL know more about Series -X than PS5 and we even saw a demo unit of Series-X in action. I'm disappointed really top it all off most games are being released in 2021 so again why talk about something that is releasing next year

The only good I got out of it is hopefully GT7 and HD2 comes out on the PS4 I wasn't impressed in the PS5 if I had to pick the 2 from based off i saw I would go with the Series X or invest in a better gaming computer. Don't even get me started on the "digital version" In a nutshell if they still going to support the PS4 for a few more years I'll stick to my PS4..FYI They should have did the GTA V expansion on the PS4 and gave us GTA 6 for PS5 idk why continue to milk the same game dry for 7 years... Played it on PS3 and beat the game I'm not buying the same game again sorry! (not sorry)

Removing the optical drive is -50 dollars, so yea its pretty dumb not to get the normal edition
a digital version worries me though, it's making me think we won't see a slim version down the line

I don't see the correlation, aside from all the main digital only consoles that have ever been released until now (PSP Go and XB One SAD) were revisions. The worrying part to me is if they're planning to go all digital only ever. which would suck.

I kind of agree.... I wasn't very impressed. Graphically many of the games could be on PS4, I really don't see the WOW in the graphics side anyways. I want to know about THE system itself, like backwards compatibility, prices, etc.

Yeah I always want the option because if one day when we're stuck buying digital or nothing there will be less sales and we will paying more. It seems within 3-6 of a physical game launching you can get it for $20-$30. Digital prices remain higher usually. It should be the opposite but w/e.

Let's be real here, were you expecting ps5 level graphics this early on? most early console titles dont exactly hold up to the graphical standard the console actually shows.
Look at super Mario world (1991) then compare it to Super Metroid (1994)
Im sure later down the line youll be seeing games that cant be done on a PS4

the correlation is that sony may be selling a digital only console now to completely eradicate the need for a slim version outside of a price cut.
digital only is only really going to be -50 dollars so it still isnt much

Not at all, I am well aware that the first generation games aren't a real representation of the system's capabilities, I just wasn't as impressed as I was with the PS4's or PS3 for that matter. It just isn't that big of a jump.

Maybe he just needs to turn up his Youtube quality settings. The Stray and Kena trailers are breathtaking in 4K, and the OG PS4 would struggle to render either in real-time at more than 10 FPS. Performance is the name of the game here, and coming from 2012 hardware, console-only gamers are about to be blown away by the lack of load times and responsiveness of controls at 60+ FPS.
