Is it even worth it to get a PS5 anytime soon?

IF there are games you want to play "EXCLUSIVES" then get one, yeah the PS4 is cool and all but the PS5 truly is next GEN, so if they HAVE GAMES YOU WANT TO PLAY THEN GET ONE!!

Bruh, that's what they always said.

Not wrong, it's just.. it eventually isn't next gen and at this point that's the current gen, but still leeching off the PS4 catalog. PS5 and Xbox Series X feel like the Wii U, it came between a generation and doesn't know what it wants to be.

Yes because the PS4 will be discontinued eventually, and the sooner you get a PS5 the sooner you can start enjoying it.

I only switched mine on for the first time in 6 months since getting Returnal and playing that for a week. This was only because a friend brought round their son and we realised I don't actually have any games suitable for kids on there so we loaded up the Switch.

Now I do have a Series X with gamepass which I use as often as I can and a gaming PC and I am a dad with very little gaming time so do take that on board. However I feel that it doesn't bring that much over the PS4 which hasn't been switched on since I loaded the hack on it. I'm now just waiting for a ps5 hack to play around with it then.

It's nice if you're going to use it. If you have to stretch your budget to get it I probably wouldn't bother until it matures a bit, maybe wait for a mid gen refresh.

I bought mine even though I have an exploited, 5.05 ps4. I never game on hacked systems, because I'm more interested in doing the hacks. As a result, I buy a lot of ps4/5 games. 5 is the one I buy if there's a choice. I don't have a high end TV or sound system, but I like the near instant load times. I only own one ps5 only game. So, I'd say if you have an exploited ps4 and you play games on it, or don't care about syncing trophies or cloud saving, then I'd stick with the ps4.

Never gonna buy it. Don't care about those lame timed exclusives of two and a half remaining soony studios

It definitely feels like Sony's headed in the direction of steam. May as well go with steamdeck: at least you have access to full BC and mods.

I don't like how systems now have all these revisions. I thought the point of consoles was that you didn't have much of an upkeep.

I've heard barely anyone talk about the PS5 since launch, so I really can't imagine that we're missing much right now.

If you want one in the near future and don't live in the US, the answer is DO NOT DELAY (if you see one on the shelf). The price is going up everywhere.

I bought tactics ogre for psp. Great game. Now it got rereleased on ps4 /ps5. Moving on to steamdeck. You have games forever (tm).

+no fees for online gaming
+backward compatibility
+mods
+cheaper than console
+NSFW censored/pornography games
+emulators
+"portable"
+access to tons of free games via EGS/heroic launcher
+sony likely moving to steam in the future anyway


-load time
-performance on newer games subpar
-late 'exclusive' access
-upcoming PSVR 2

IMO, if you don't care about graphical improvements and the very few exclusive titles, plus you already have a PS4, it's not worth it. Not only because it would be a waste of resources, but because there will absolutely be better revisions when you finally decide to get one. Hell, the console is already on its third revision (as of September 15th) and it will keep on improving.
