For someone who skipped this generation of consoles, PS5 looks to be a better offer right now, 399$ with PS+ Collection will get people like me occupied for quite a long time. Most of the PS5 games shown yesterday don't interest me tho, CoD looks fantastic, ridiculously over the top for my taste but still fantastic, it hurts me a bit every time the series is overlooked for its amazing mocap animations, they are IMO second to none (and at 60FPS!), beating even Ubisoft, Naughty Dog etc. DS looks amazing as well, don't know where the initial complains came from after the first reveal. And dunno why but the gameplay gave me the good old PSX vibes. Other than that, nothing new really, no HFW gameplay, GoW2 teaser, like wow, call me back when SSM decides to finally make something different, and sadly no GT7 :/ I want to know more about the upcoming career mode, the first glimpse looked like the good old, proper GT, but I guess the game isn't coming out in at least next 2 years so they're keeping that one for later. But overall that was rather good show, one of the best we saw this year IMO, no 2h BS, just straight up gameplays and info/announcements, this was the first console-related show in this year I didn't feel someone is wasting my time.
From the other, not so good news, turns out all games except R&C will be coming to PS4 anyway, so so much for "TRUE next-gen titles" narrative some folks here desperately tried to push, everyone with just a tiny bit of common sense knew that games made within 2-3 years time instead of their usual 5-7 will be rushed cross-gen titles with added RT effects, nothing more. Supposedly such state will last for 3-4 more years, so again, quite opposite of what Ryan said with the "we believe in generations" interview. And all that for 70-80€, IMO way too much for SP-only titles that can be beaten during the weekend and forgotten ever since. The DE is a really tough call, on one hand 399 for full-fat next-gen console looks like a no-brainer (and it looks so much better than the disc-based model IMO), but the games prices make the 499$ model actually looks way more attractive in the long term, I personally don't see a single reason to pay more than 15-25$ for a SP-only games, give me MP and/or co-op that greatly extend the time, then I'll gladly pay more, but close to a 100$ for 2-3 days of gameplay won't cut it for me.
