Cepp | 34 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 You can tell the digital only version was the primary design. Even if its ugly its at least symmetrical. The disc based version looks like they just slapped a blu-ray drive on it and called it a day. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Havent watched it but based on the titles I'm hearing, not that impressed. Assumed it was going to be a day one buy for me but not so sure. We'll see what the launch titles look like I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD | 1,380 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I haven't watched it but I did read an article summarizing things. I like that it has PS4 backwards compatibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin03 | 314 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I was impressed by Ratchet and Clank, Kena, and Horizon. Not sure if I would go for the disc drive or not. Also I would like an all black model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar! | 1,807 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 My thoughts: PS5 - not exactly as the most attractive console, but hey, that's okay Games I'm excited About: Demon's Souls Remake (or remaster?) Horizon Forbidden West Oddworld Soulstorm Stray My vote for most nonsensical looking game Resident Evil Village 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying that for a while now. For me, I think that cut off will be when things go all digital, which more than likely means everything after the PS5. I'm completely fine with that. My thinking is that at this moment in time, there are more than enough great games to keep me happy for the rest of my gaming life. I can skip out on the all digital world and be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's not a great look. Then again neither was the GameCube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryice | 582 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I thought it was an amazing show. Probably the best gaming show that I've ever seen, in terms of reveals. Much of that is because of the Demon's Souls remake, but there was a lot of other great stuff too. Planning on purchasing: Deathloop Demon's Souls Ghostwire Horizon 2 Resident Evil 8 Returnal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,400 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 7 hours ago, DoctorEncore said: I don't know why we get so hyped for these console reveals when the launch stuff is usually predictably generic. I guess I just hope they will show a new type of game rather than the same games we've been playing forever with updated graphics. Although honestly, the graphics were not particularly impressive in any of the games they showed. They all looked current gen. I'm not really complaining because it's not my thing anyway, but I watch these things knowing there's basically nothing they can announce that will interest me. Like... Silent Hills was secretly completed and it was all a hoax? I'd pop for that. Technologically this might be the most boring generation yet. If these games aren't all running at 60fps, what are we even upgrading in these boxes (hard to tell because of the broadcast but I remember one was visibly frame-y). If it runs PS4 games better I might still be interested, although I bought a PS4 Pro for that exact promise and was supremely disappointed. 7 hours ago, Reed Rothchild said: But part of me just wants to set an arbitrary cutoff and focus on games for the existing era(s) for the rest of my life. #CutoffGang.

You're gonna die eventually. The CPU is a significant improvement over last gen. I'm hoping it can result in high populations for cities and stuff like that. Things that have gameplay and immersion impacts. For graphics I would gladly take 30 fps at 1440 checkerboarded to 4k if it means raytracing, better particle effects, etc. Horizon looked great on the Pro. Continue to push the quality instead of the quantity of pixels. My worry is they get caught up on saying a game is native 4k or higher. Glad I'm not the only one who has considered moving on from new stuff. We all have huge backlogs. I could see me going Nintendo only after next gen and just working through the backlog otherwise.

All digital version on the right It does look pretty sleek and futuristic, as it should with us living in a future time!

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Welcome to the final generation of physical media. if they are launching with a digital only version it means there are going to be A LOT of digital only titles. Imagine a world 30 years from now where the only way to play a ”retro” PS5 game is to either find a PS5 with it installed, or to pray the developers make a rerelease.

themisfit138 | 523 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The PS5 looks alright. I will see what games are of interest. Then it might be time to call it quits on new consoles. I only have 10 PS4 games and never bought a XBOX this gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom firmware already solves this problem. You can install games and homebrew as you see fit. Of course this brings its own ethical issues but it works. It's the way to get Wiiware that was otherwise lost. We plan on getting physical for the big games(Mario/Zelda) but are moving to digital otherwise.

Strange | 1,700 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I’ve been a stickler for physical modern games in the past (still am for the most part) but even I’ve accepted that we can’t stop the digital future. I personally don’t feel digital works as well for video games as a medium, but it’s coming and there’s nothing we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the countries with people who have unreliable internet. There's no way they would take out a decent % of their total player base by forcing digital only unless high speed wifi gets beams from space for all the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
