Lmao my mistake sry

 

[Delerious]

First person can DIAF IMO.
Anything is better than that. I like to see the damn character.

Also,

"It's time to Dual Sense!"

I know, it was a dumb joke. And I am not sorry.

 

[MasterJ360]

Man these Router and Binder memes are going out of control lul.

 

[Rail Fighter]

I need to get a 8k tv for this.

 

[SuperDan]

I just dunno why but ive lost interest in PS5 ..since i got a gaming PC last year im sure its going to be a awesome console & have decent exclusive games .... but at a crazy high price $500 to $600 for a console $60 to play online for a year ... $60 to $100 a game ... nahh mate im out ..

Huzzah for already having a 4-year-old PC on par with XBSX so I can afford to get a PS5 too.

Edit: screw paying for online though. Hell, I'm 50-50 on whether I'll even pay for games or just wait for an exploit instead.

Huzzah for having a switch on the ready so i can catch up to all the multiplats ive been missing throughout 2016-2019

 

[Jayro]

This should be fun.

By the way @Chary , nice job on the coverage. Good reporting on your part. Thank you for all that you do to keep us informed.

 

[Rail Fighter]

Was I lied?

 

[Jayro]

Was I lied?

Yes. This is what I was hoping for realistically:

 

[KingVamp]

I would be alright with getting rid of the disc slot, if that meant getting game carts instead.

also can i say something? i despise the over the shoulder perspective most AAA games are taking nowadays.

First person or fully 3rd person controlls a hell of a lot better.

Doesn't really bother me much either way. Guess it depends on the game. I know every game can't do this, but having a choice between them is nice.

 

[Kioku]

I can't take this seriously. It actually, finally looks like one of those crappy mockup renders that some fanboy made to try and fool the community. Well played, Sony.. Jesus...

 

[Xzi]

Was I lied?

You were lied to, yes, and in this case that's a good thing since that blurb is basically describing Google Stadia.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

I don't know why but Bugsnax looks like it could be fun. It reminds me of the Chao Garden in a way.

 

[Silent_Gunner]

Can someone give me a tl;dw summary? I know there's one with a disc drive and one without, and have a general idea of the games, but was a price announced, or is Sony going to pull its usual Last-Stand-Anime-Battle trick of waiting to undercut the other guy at launch?

Main reason I'm asking is because I'm at work atm.

 

[leerpsp]

I'm gonna get it, This will be the 1st system I get at launch but it seems I'll have to redo my gaming area since it does not look like this will be able to lay on its side, I have a lot of bluray moves/anime blurays so i'll get the one with the bluray player even if that one cost more because Id like to have one that does both gaming and play movies so I don't have to have an extra device to take up space, I know the ps5 will not launch with Funimation and Crunchyroll But I just got me an apple tv 4k and refuse to replace it with anything since that thing cost me over $200 with shipping for the 32gb ver.

 

[eriol33]

Deathloop has an interesting premise, but it seems a shoutout of how we gamers, tend to use save/load feature to restart our game. it can be a hit and miss because its premise - restarting a game for a trial and error is not a new feature.
