This is standard procedure for Sony and the PSN store, same thing happened to me when they delayed Southpark TFBH...

refund and removal from store, only to be added back when it had an arrival date...

Plus this would be a massive middle finger to a 100 + million strong PS4 Base
Would be a middle finger if they never release it . They will on ps4 . Just not before a ps5 version . Could be the same day or 1 month after . Highly doubt it’s before . Who knows really at this point what Sony is thinking

Not feeling the color scheme. Is the PS5 going to have the same color scheme with black and white as well?

I think it’s more important what the comments about the controller are.
And they are not positive.

even on reddit people are complaining and getting a lot of upvotes. It’s even on top of reddit right now:

Great to know that the PS5 will retain the feature of fast-forwarding or rewinding the movie you're watching whenever you set down the controller.

It’s currently the #1 Post on the frontpage:

But hey, at least it got a lot of internet points. Nice.
 
Guys, I cannot stop thinking about this after another user here made it obvious... I don't think I will get a PS5 until they make the logo on the controller white.
I am kinda serious. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Any Sony employees here that can make this suggestion? hint hint lol

EDIT: Look at this thing with a simple tweak!
I am not sure who designed the original but they are paid too much for obvious imperfections.

I suppose it could indicate psvr2 will come with specific controllers like the pc cousins.
I think this is more likely the case. Something that builds on the Valve Index controllers with finger tracking would be more suiting for PSVR2.
VR and traditional gamepads are not an ideal mix, imo.

This never has never happened to me in all my years of watching things on my PS4. Such a trivial thing to complain about lol
It happens more often than you'd think. Especially when you put it aside on the couch real quick. Lol

A few weeks ago, people were saying Microsoft is gathering a lot of mind-share because people were tied of waiting for Sony to show something.

I told these guys before that people will forget about waiting for so long when Sony starts revealing more about the PlayStation 5.

Sure if you toss it with enough force any surface is going inadvertently press the buttons. Placing it down has never led to this "issue"

This is a pretty common complaint, has been for years. I stopped watching anything on my PS4 because of it. It's a small annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless.
I suppose, but I still think that's just physics. Maybe the adaptive triggers will alleviate those concerns.
 
This "x has more likes than y on z" is so cringey and embarrassing.

It's one of the most easily manipulated metrics to judge something by ever.

Childish Anti-Sony drivel and r/gaming is the worst gaming subreddit that ever existed.

For once, I agree with you.

To some extent, I don't think it's big enough problem to complain about. Lol

Edit: wrong thread I guess lol. Just clicked on the first one I saw.

Yeah! Lotsa likes, maybe now the DS will have some self confidence. Hopefully it remains respectful of itself and doesn’t start taking it’s clothes off.

The thirst for any PS5 related news is a good indication as to how well the console will sell. Just get the price right Sony and the console war is over.
 
With the mic input standard on every controller, I wonder if Sony planned for developers to implement something like talking to NPC ourselves. I'm really hoping AI will be something they'll put more effort on. I have a lot of high hopes for the newly established Sony AI. One of their focus is gaming.

I think this is also how Mark Cerny plans to calibrate 3D audio using TV speakers. The controller mic input will be the point of reference to calibrate the 3D sound.

Do you see all good news for Sony as a personal attack on other consoles or are you being ironic?

No and yes. Lighten up for fucks sake. I'm just tired of pointless news about a controller getting likes on a social media page, used by fanboys for meaningless leverage in their holy console war crusade.

Sony can easily fix this by not implementing any function for the L2 and R2 when playing media.

There are plenty of buttons in the controller.

On a more serious note. Sony knocked the controller design out of the park. Although, I'll take it in all black.

Report me if I continue to console war
If jim ryan posted a pic of his shit with a ps5 logo it would probably get millions of likes.

Its funny that ppl think getting social media likes or views is some kind of achievement.

This just goes to show how strong the PlayStation brand is.
Really wish though that engagements wouldn't be so high, because we probably would have a lot more information by now instead of this drip-feed strategy.

Call me crazy but I think there is a chance that that PS Logo will have a led light in it. That would be awesome

has been asked to post in 'Grounded' mode.
Wanna bet a specific avatar for 1 month or something ? They removed the game completely from the PlayStation 4 store . If the game still coming to ps4 this year they would just say tba or tbd.
Sure, we can bet. I say it's still coming to the PS4 in 2020

You think because you can spend 10 seconds going to a website and clicking on a logo that this relates to spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a console and games?

Yes, I do. It indicates that there is a significantly larger number of people who are excited about the PS5 than there are people who are excited about the XSX. If you cannot see how that translates into how well the PS5 will sell relative to the XSX, then you're in denial.

Do I not seem excited for the Series X? Never clicked on an Xbox tweet in my life and I'll be there day one to buy a console.

Talk is cheap.

People like Lil Tay and Woah Vicky get millions of likes on social media, seems like a high bar.

I think you are playing the wrong game. Obviously both companies want to sell a lot of consoles, games and accessories, but at the same time Microsoft doesn't care where you play their games. So if you want to make it purely about console sales, sure Sony is definitely winning. If you want to look at the whole of gaming, next gen might be more interesting than this one. Microsoft might be able to catch up due to their services.

We're not talking about services; we're talking about consoles, which are the most popular means by which people play games apart from smart phones (which shouldn't count because people don't buy smart phones mainly for gaming).

Cool goal post move. So if during the following generation streaming will start making traction we should completely ignore this? Even though this will be much better once 5G is properly deployed in most western countries? Just focus on console sales, and nothing else? Even though for example PSN is a huge revenue income for Sony, and if they are able to translate those numbers to Playstation Now they are set for the future, but we'll just ignore that?
