You guys been looking at the empty half of the cup. If those are cross-gen and they are the best looking in the gaming industry so far.

Imagine what PS5-only would look like? I mean they're 100% held back, no doubt about it, but this is cross-gen done right. This is Miles Morales on PS4 Pro, not bad, but quite the jump:

And HZD

We'll see the PS4 version that will make it clear. Personally, this makes me excited about TLOU2/GOT upgrades!

Being cross gen will hold them back from a game design standpoint but in terms of visuals, the only limit is their budget. And we know sony got deep pockets.

 

[gojira96]

Same for me, to be fair. I was expecting a full next gen experience. I'll still buy them, that's ok, but it's underwhelming

100% this buddy, I will get a PlayStation and experience these games on that platform only! Maybe it's not "Sony's fault" for making the decision, but their communication up until today has been, well, unorthodox?

 

[Chun Swae]

Sony is very well behind expanding their cloud gaming infrastructure. MS is moving to XSX servers next year, so streaming XSX on XB1 hardware will probably become viable for the Xbox ecosystem. We still don't know Sony's plans regarding PSNow, we also still don't know if they make any progress with MS deal with Azure.

Sony is the only console player that has had game streaming on the market for YEARS. MS is the one playing catch up. But again, Sony had the entire PS4 generation to expand PSNOW to more countries in preparation for next gen. Hopefully sony's next announcement is that they have added PS5's to the datacenters so we can stream next gen games.

Come to think of it, PS5 is least of my worries come November.

How the fuck am i going to get my PS4 games on my PS5. What SSD's or hard drives are compatible with PS5 that will be out in a month or two?

Any external USB HDD you can use with PS4 (USB 3.0) will work. You can play them right from the HDD, save the SSD for PS5 games.

 

[Mr Moose]

we are currently closed for site maintenance

We will be back open as soon as possible, sorry for any inconvenience.

Come on, GAME, you can do it!

 

[Sinthor]

Huh? Microsoft made no such mandate... and just said they plan on supporting last-gen with their 1st party for 1-2 years.

Yeah, I meant first party...wasn't being clear..too rushed. But this is similar. Not a big deal in EITHER case for either MS or Sony. At least not to me. I mean, if it's done right, the PS5 and XSX versions of the game should clearly be different. If not...then they're doing it wrong.

 

[splattered]

I wonder if Geoff Keighley was playing that Astro game with a dualsense controller on his ps4?

 

[user1337]

Dudes.... The games look that good and they are cross gen?! Can you imagine what games will look like when they decide to stop supporting PS4 with their first party games. Bonkers.

 

[zaitsu]

I wonder if Geoff Keighley was playing that Astro game with a dualsense controller on his ps4?

Ive stated that many times, demon souls fast travel from bonfire was 2s.

He said it was a PS5 devkit.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Some gorgeous stuff.

What is always impressive and it seems almost across the board for Sony their characters portray emotion really well.

Now we should expect open world games to have better lip syncing, facial expressions as well, with the same gameplay model. Tech has jumped massively since 2013, I hope it's easier to capture facial expressions without those dots, 4K/8K video capture. Now it seems extremely taxing, so let's hope that even low budget studios can have great facial expression characters. In terms of open world and facial expressions, I'm extremely impressed by Days Gone and Spider-man on PS4.

 

[3liteDragon]

Ok wtf 3-4 years of PlayStation 4 support? If Ragnarok is cross-gen, I'm gonna lose it honestly.

 

[zaitsu]

He said it was a PS5 devkit.

He should said that, but logic and loading time says otherwise

 

[Neo Blaster]

Spider-Man: MM looks awesome! Who cares if it's cross-gen? Fucking manbabies.

I'm pissed because one of my most wanted gameplay mechanics for HFW was flight, and now I know I won't get it because the game will have to run on that sluggish PS4 HDD. It's not just about looks, you know.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Being cross gen will hold them back from a game design standpoint but in terms of visuals, the only limit is their budget. And we know sony got deep pockets.

Indeed, I wanted new gimmicks like ultra fast flights on those robo-birds on HFW. The stance remains the very same, current gen holds back next gen massively in game design. But visually, as you said, it depends on the talent/money/support from publisher (Sony here).

Maybe next-gen exclusive DLC?
Won't be able to change much of the main game anyway...
At least from what they've shown of HFW so far, it's better than Halo - which is also cross-gen lol

 

[smallpotatosan]

it's okay guys. At least demon souls and ratchet & clanks are still true nextgen titles. love the fast travel in DS. But It was bold to claim no crossgens. Sony deserves some criticism there with the backtracking.

 

[kyliethicc]

No dude, Sony always say they want every console to have a 10 year life cycle. Thats normal.

But yes if God of War Ragnarok is cross gen, we riot.

 

[kyliethicc]

The PS Plus Collection is so fucking cool. These are all the games I don't own right now, but I can play them all on day 1 on PS5.

Days Gone
Bloodborne
Persona 5
The Last Guardian
Monster Hunter World
Until Dawn
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy 15
Resident Evil 7
Mortal Kombat 10

No matter who you are, there will be plenty to play on PS5 on day 1.

 

[Grodiak]

The wife is home - Amazon preorders not yet up. Blocked the door. Might need to light it up to buy more time.

 

[Dave_at_Home]

Have a PS5 in cart on Best Buy and it just wont load to checkout page.

 

[Grinchy]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

 

[Agnostic2020]

What An Amazing event . Loved it . 10/10

 

[Shambala]

Yea kind of sucks for Horizon n Spidey. But man they look great. So eh. I already go a preorder and trying to secure one more

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Maybe next-gen exclusive DLC?

I think the DLC will remain cross-gen. But at least Sony is doing the best to take full advantage of PS5's hardware, and if this level of fidelity was making people skeptical, imagine what will be when the focus solely on PS5 hardware? I mean, I might faint from just thinking about it.

Bo u secured preorder??? I m freaking out haha

 

[HAL-01]

Walmart.ca still got PS5's if anyones looking

 

[Dave_at_Home]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

I know, right? That could be at least a full second faster. If only we had a group of people that could count frames and then argue about it to no end.

 

[Nikana]

So we all can get along now right?

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

I wonder if Geoff Keighley was playing that Astro game with a dualsense controller on his ps4?

He clearly states he "got hands-on with a ps5"

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

Poor showing from the LoadingStation 5

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Bo u secured preorder??? I m freaking out haha

We don't do that here. Joking, it's 5am here, so I'll check with Sony official providers here and preorder in every possible big shop (E-Max, Carrefour, and GeeKay in the capital through my friends there). I might pay up front if needed.

 

[MasterCornholio]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

That I/O isn't working correctly.

 

[Vroadstar]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

Actually replaying this on my PS3 and now I'm thinking of dropping it in favor of PS5 version.

 

[Dave_at_Home]

Poor showing from the LoadingStation 5

That fog is clearly there to hid the transition of loading in the new area. Pre-order CANCELLED.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

I hate Souls games, and mostly Demon's Souls. I was hoping for the gameplay to be smoother, but it's clunky as fuck. Looks gorgeous though.

I'm sure they have your gold plated PS5 waiting, my sultan !

lol, jk Bo

Good luck on the purchase!

 

[Mr Moose]

"We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features," he said. "We do believe in generations, and whether it's the DualSense controller, whether it's the 3D audio, whether it's the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5."

So Jim Fucking Ryan was just talking about cool new features that can be used in next gen?

 

[Dave_at_Home]

Really? The animations? I thought the animation looked smooth. Anyone else?

 

[B_Boss]

I wonder what exactly did Lempel mean when he said we'd be told about preorders in advance so we won't have to "wait in lines" etc . There is mass hysteria right now with the consoles sold out of many retailers right now.

Xbox: Pre-orders on the 22.

Sony: We have to beat them no matter what.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

They've got to work on these horrible loading times:

It's because it's running at 4K/60, that's the reason it takes so much time to load.

 

[FritzJ92]

Does anyone think the media owes Microsoft an apology?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I'm sure they have your gold plated PS5 waiting, my sultan !

I'll call my sister as well in UAE to secure 2x for me and my older brother just in case. You can't be sure with only 5 preorders.

Really? The animations? I thought the animation looked smooth. Anyone else?

The character still feels stiff as if he might poop at any moment.

Don't let my taste affect yours, I acknowledge Souls games as great games, but not for me. But Minecraft is sensitive to me and I'll simply unfriend you on PSN if I see you playing it.

They saw Xbox say price and pre order date, leaving Sony this week as a window for both. Had to take it.

 

[SportsFan581]

I stand by what i said the other day.

Xbox social media love to engage in console wars whereas Sony is going about their business to promote their platform.

Goes to show either Phil is full of shit or he doesn't care and is full of shit anyways. That tweet is a bad look for Xbox.

How the hell is that tweet console warring. Xbox isn't gonna quit twitter, just because you are not a fan. LOL

 

[MasterCornholio]

Does anyone think the media owes Microsoft an apology?

Don't you mean Sony?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Does anyone think the media owes Microsoft an apology?

No, PS4 will hold back PS5 with those cross-gen games. We won't bend reality.
