Didn't you say almost the same thing already?
I won't be getting the PS4 version, seems pointless getting it at the same time as the PS5 versions release.

Stop doing the trains, guys.
Trust me. I've said it every time since the PS5 GDC. To Xbox and PS5 trains.
Don't do it.

I'm pretty much on the same boat with the exception of waiting for RNDA2 benchmarks before committing. Content-wise, the PS5 show was pretty solid. But I don't appreciate the sneaky-sneaky stuff Sony is doing. It doesn't matter how much better Sony markets the PS5 than Microsoft marketing the XSX. That's such a low bar anyways and the PS5 doesn't offer enough unique value proposition that makes me want to get one immediately.

Calling it now, GT7 and Returnal might be cross gen titles too.

whats the point of a 8 core 16 thread CPU when you are going to be limited by a 8 core single thread CPU running at 1.6 ghz?
Whats the point of shoving an SSD down our throat for 30 miserable minutes in March when you are going to be limited by a 20 MBps SSD anyway?
Whats the point of making us buy a $500 console when i can play the same shit on my PS4?
John is right. There is no fucking point.

Horizon, at least the cinematics they showed, is fucking gorgeous...
Who gives a shit if it's on PS4?
Same with Spiderman.
Talented teams can scale games... and for the most part games are just gonna keep being the same games we are playing with better graphics and load times..ya'll need to get over it lol

I called a random Gamestop store within my radius. They said they don't know if they will be the selected Retailer to take pre-orders. I'm sure they'll know later tonight.

Genuinely reconsidering my pre-order at the moment. If everything’s either going to Ps4 or PC, why do I need a Ps5 again?
Same argument as Xbox Series X now.
Might do a bit of research on best gaming pcs...

So hopefully, HOPEFULLY, that can stop now that we establish both Sony and MS are shit right now when it comes to next gen.Looks like. I’m sat here thinking about it, and I can’t even be angry. They just played us all like fiddles.
Both companies are pretty much doing the same thing. We’ve all been arguing over nothing.
I predict the real battle with next gen will be when next gen ONLY titles show up in a year or two. I think then the battle will heat up.

Ok, let us try to be SERIOUS for a moment here....!
All this time, after sony came with the strong and bold "commitments", there must have been written at least 1000 pages here in this topic alone.
And you have the nerve to tell me about "CONJECTURES"?

Headset price is ok, but 80€ for games IS A JOKE.
80€ is 94,5$ usd.
Sold copies on launch will drop, even current 60-70€ is too much for many.
I almost never pay full price and this turns it into never.
Getting 100 physicals/gen like im used to would cost 8000€, madness. Almost 10000$

Demon's Souls is an old game, remake, already held back. Spiderman MM is 100% held back.

I know you enjoy poking people and thinking you are upsetting them which you probably achieve in some cases.
Honestly with me its a futile attempt with this kind of narrative.

If there was a typo and that pc release mention in the demon’s souls trailer was meant to be for a different trailer, then perhaps Sony should apologize for making such an amateur mistake. Being a typo might actually be the case the way I see it. Hopefully, that’s how it is.

From their blog post:
Sounds like cross-gen support at least MIGHT stop late 2021 with God of War: Ragnarok (Please Sony lol). Also the wording on cross-gen games is interesting cause you can’t tell whether these games were built from the ground up for PS5 and then optimized for PS4 or vice-versa. Still waiting to see how HFW and GOWR gameplay look on PS5 before saying anything else though, cause Jim Ryan and PlayStation are looking hella sketch rn.

I think some of you are going to be sorely disappointed when there isn't a massive difference between what Sony is able to do with cross-gen and what they can do with true next-gen.
Obviously there will be differences... but you guys are expecting too much IMO.
Sony with cross-gen will probably murder 3rd party next-gen for most of the generation I'd bet.

Cinematics are not really held back by other versions, unless it's such a drastic jump you can't even run the same engine or assets in the same ballpark. There is no dynamic design to account for. You don't have to think "if I write the AI this way for the PS5 version, it won't run on a PS4 and that will mess up the whole game as a consequence". For the cinematics you just scale back assets for the PS4 version until it can keep pace with the scene without melting.I agree, they'll still look great but...

Geez Horizon on PS4? Demon's Souls on PC?
Come on Sony. WTF are you doing?
The PS Plus deal is nice, but I already have the games...
At least we got the 499/399. I guess...

Sorry, but cross-gen Miles Morales & especially Forbidden West has delayed my purchase til next year. Sony said they believe in generations and a clean break; they've reneged on that as far as I'm concerned. How can they traverse the gap between 1.6Ghz Jaguar <> 3.5GHz Zen2 & HDD <> Ultra High Speed SSD/IO while offering experiences truly impossible elsewhere? They either hold the PS5 version back in terms of the fundamentals or they build two very [functionally] different versions of the game.
A big selling point/differentiator of PS5 was a clean break & doing what you couldn't before. It's not that I don't want PS4 players to be in on the action, but I don't see how you can do anything but water down your product with this approach; which ultimately hurts everyone. PS4's had a good run.
I've always loved the PlayStation platform and I hate to sound like a grumpy bastard, but I'll likely buy PS5 later next year when there's hopefully a full next-gen 1P title to play (God Of War?!). Cross-gen upscales like Spidey & Horizon will be eBay purchases; when I get round to getting a PS5, as I'd still prefer to play the upscaled versions.
PS4 Pro is getting sold when I'm done with Season 6 of MW. Looks like I'll be having a year off gaming.

Xbox discord/FUD qorking overtime with 'Demon's Souls' coming to PC immediately after the show! Look at what the source of this story is! Ridiculous

Yup. Anything that takes advantage of the new SSDs in the next gen machines and uses the CPUs without being trapped by weak sauce ancient HDDs/CPUs is going to be the biggest upgrade.

Betting they will replace "Coming to other consoles later" with "Coming to PS4 later". That's what is really flipping a lot of people, the idea it could come to Xbox. They announced several other games for PC, no need to make it a special case for this one in particular.

That and wanting to sell games to an install base of 110 million PS4 owners.
Surely people understood both of these obvious realities going into this?

It's an internal expansion bay, although I'm really curious about where it is located.

It’s clearly an error they made because it makes no sense by saying it’s exclusive AND going PC. Called it from the start.

I hate PCs so its no option for me. You couldn't pay me to play a PC. Windows is dogshit. Macbooks are fine for normal life. Not gaming.
I'm just not sold on a needing a PS5 this fall. Reminds me of 2013. I got my PS4 in summer 2014 and I may just patiently wait out the craziness this holiday, pick up my PS5 next summer when there's stock and God of War 2 and GT7 are coming soon.
My 3 biggest anticipated PS5 games were GT7, GOW2, and HFW. Now Horizon is no hype, and so it looks like the must have games aren't coming til 2021 for me. Thankfully I still have The Last of Us Part II to beat on Grounded, and so many more.

Yes, everyone thought their approaches were pretty much the opposite but in the end it seems they're taking the same route. But it seems Sony was really focused in delivering a LOT of games in the first year, which is not the case for the competition. Now I really think the rumors that a lot of these games were in development for PS4 are true.

“Shit! They hate the idea of it coming to PC!”
”Change of plan, lads! We’ll pretend it’s not for six months, and announce it again then!”
That‘s literally what’s happening.

I think it was a typo. But that's okay, why it's so hard for Sony to clarify certain things?
The source is the trailer lol come one not everything is FUD

I think this is the expansion bay? on the side/bottom. That rectangle above the vent.
My guess is the only supported drives will be "naked" M.2 2280 form factor. I imagine a caddy sled will slide out and you'll put the drive in, slide it back inside and the PS5 will have built-in heatsink around it. Whether on the sled or inside the console. Sorta like how the PS4 HDD works now.
I assume it has to be just a plain M.2 drive with no extra heatsink or fan to keep it small and fit inside. 22mm x 80mm is the most common used form factor on PC.

Well, I just preordered my PS5 DE at Saturn Germany.
First time preordering a console. I always waited at least 2 years. But this time its so i can further delay the new PC which will be quite expensive since I have to upgrade everything. And at 399 I'm cheaper than the GPU alone and have plenty left for some games which right know is more important to me than a bit more raytracing at triple the price.

I think the writing was on the wall. DF was shocked that everything was running in native 4k at the last event and I'm guessing that's because these are all cross gen games and R&C is a very early PS5 game. I imagine the true PS5 exclusives coming further in the future will be a lower resolution and upscaled using ML or other methods and really go all out with graphics.
