The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

[Zed]

With those being on PC and Horizon and Spider-Man MM being confirmed for PS4, what are the actual next-gen console exclusive games we know about? I mean... are there any? I'm struggling to think of one.

Probably God of War, teased at the very end.

 

[Tehdagah]

I wonder if console exclusives like FF16 are result of developers refusing to make multiplatform games on the Series S

 

[DalekFlay]

Some are reporting Demon's Souls being on PC as well was a typo.

 

[Markman]

Good one

 

[Kem0sabe]

80 euros...

 

[Tehdagah]

But Astro's Playroom is free

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Bundling all the PS4 "classics" with the psplus subscription seems like a strong proposition for non-playstation gamers.

The DeS "timed console exclusive/also on pc" message just looks like someone pasted the wrong thing on the image.

 

[†††]

80 euros...

80€ are the equivalent of $95, what the fuck

 

[Markman]

One thing Im wondering is their back compat with ps plus collection thing.
Will those games get updated with better res and frames or is it gonna be same 1080/30 shit like on ps4?

80 euros per game is brutal. Alot of ppl are gonna be put off by that. Myself included. 80. Wow. Gamepass got even better looking now.

VAT is 15-25% across teh pond.

I'd assume the ones with dynamic resolution and 30+ variable framerate modes would take advantage of the extra horsepower to run and look better (the ones that were made with or patched for ps4pro).

Bloodborne should still suffer from a poorly paced 30fps, 1080p and lots of aliasing.

Was it?

Local buying power isn't the same thing as currency conversion, but why the FUCK would they charge MORE Euros than dollars? That's nuts.

They're just saying this because of the fanboys' reactions, they're trying to get them happy again but no way that was just a typo. It's Sony's most important conference, they probably rewatched the video presentation many, many times, if that was a mistake they would've fixed it.
They'll probably announce it later on, right now they're focusing on not getting people to ask "but if it's all on pc, what's the point of buying a ps5?".

 

[Abu Antar]

I'm likely waiting a year or two. Games are more pricey than I like. Currently, the only reason to get a PS5 (for me) is my huge PS4 backlog and PS+ subscription.

Demon's Souls, Sackboy and another title or two interest me, but none of them are actually exclusive. I'm not upgrading my PC for another few years, so I might end up buying one anyway. We'll see.

There's honestly not even much on the PC front to upgrade for in the next year or so. It would be nice to run Cyberpunk at high settings of course, but given games like that and Watchdogs Legion have Xbox One S versions I'm sure any decent gaming PC today could play them. Next year's announced stuff doesn't seem performance heavy yet... Deathloop, Hitman 3, etc. I might be an asshole and get a 3070 because I can afford it if I try, but despite new consoles coming out that are relatively powerful there's nothing really screaming "I have to upgrade!!!" IMO.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Horizon: Forbidden West is also confirmed for PS4.

 

[DemonKing]

Sheepled up and put down a preorder for PS5 with Sony and Amazon (hopefully one will come through - if both do I'll just scalp the other one). Preorders basically sold out all across OZ. Hopefully it's quieter than the jet engine on my PS4 Pro.

Probably will get Spiderman and Demon's Souls at launch.

 

[Markman]

From a money standpoint its better to put PS5 on hold a year or two so prices come down a notch for their blockbuster titles and remasters.
I wanna play Ghost of Tsushima but aint gonna pay 60 euros to play it next to a helicopter right now.

Xbox got way better value and 100+ of enhanced titles at launch. PS got enhanced Spiderman that they want to charge you extra for.

On the other hand, diversity hires are just that incompetent.

Absolutely nothing I care about. Looks like this will be another console launch I sit out.

 

[Alienman]

Damn, just checked the price on a local site and 800 Swedish kr for a remake.

That's 76.80 euro

 

[Rahdulan]

Don't forget they'll also charge the same price for digital versions while saving on all the logistical stuff that accompanies physical copies. It's without a doubt that even a high end PC will pay itself off relatively quickly compared to seemingly lower upfront cost of consoles.

Faster if you pirate.

Did your Somali father teach you that?
