Popular Post Aranea Highwind Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) With each generation, from the first PlayStation to PlayStation 4, we aim higher and we push the boundaries further, to try and deliver better experiences for our community. This has been the mission of the PlayStation brand for more than 25 years. A mission I have been a part of nearly since the beginning. There are few things as exciting as the launch of a new console. While this road to launch has been a bit…different, we are as thrilled as ever to bring you with us on this journey to redefine the future of videogames. We’ve shared technical specifications and shown you the new DualSense wireless controller. But what is a launch without games? That’s why I’m excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday. The games coming to PS5 represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that span the globe. Studios, both larger and smaller, those newer and those more established, all have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the hardware. This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you. Please join us on Twitch or YouTube on June 4 at 1pm PDT to see what’s in store for the next generation of games. I hope we can make you proud.

Parker Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 That black DualShock 5, er I mean DualSense, looks much better than the white version we were originally shown. I'm looking forward to the event, but I'm really looking forward to the actual console reveal. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainMonkster Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 About time really! Still clinging onto hope for backwards compatibility further than ps4 as unlikely as it is x) but still looking forwards to seeing what the console looks like 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCheck-- Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Wow, after all this time, feels surreal. Excited to see it! Hopefully the PS4 controllers will work with the PS5, I've been told they should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DEI2EK Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 About time. Backwards compatibility definitely needs to be brought up, I've never owned an xbox but they're making Sony look like fools right now with what they're doing with the Series X. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 They really need to detail how exactly backwards compatibility will work on PS5 because the messaging has been all over the place so far. Will the "overwhelming majority" of PS4 titles be playable on the PS5 on day one or is this something that they will slowly roll out over time? What games are going to be left out? If this is something Sony have to test on a game by game basis, I have my concerns that the "anime games" with fanservice released before the censorship policy came into effect won't be made compatible. I don't care to own a Xbox Series X, but the things that console does when it comes to backwards compatibility are pretty amazing. Sony need to step their game up. At the very least, we now know that PS4 titles published after the 13th of July have to be compatible with PS5 which is something I guess. https://www.gematsu.com/2020/05/report-ps4-titles-submitted-for-certification-after-july-13-must-be-ps5-compatible 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 They're going to need more than a sleek looking controller and 4K impressive visuals to get my attention. I got too much shit on the PS4 to just jump ship on the PS5. I'm down to around a dozen games on the PS3 and less than 10 on the PS Vita. Maybe I'll snag the PS4 Pro for really cheap because I'm sure the price will drop like a rock once everybody is feasting over the new PS5 console. Yeah.... I'm just not feeling the PS5. With how many fucking system updates the PS5 is going to have in the first few months, I'm better off just waiting on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Conor Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 I must be the only person in the world who doesn't give a toss about backwards compatibility (and I'm a former Xbox player), but I guess that's my privilege of being able to keep older consoles. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about being able to play games from older console generations, but running them better. Increased frame rate, higher resolution, vastly reduced loading times, etc. Microsoft have shown us what's possible and it's only natural for people like myself who have a large PS4 collection to want that as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it so wrong to not want a million consoles beneath my tv?

Cassylvania Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Backwards compatibility is all I care about. When I move into a new house, I want all my existing furniture to fit too. That said, probably a Day 1 buy for me. I don't want to fall behind on newer games like I did with the PS4. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Already got space prepared on my glass stand for the PS5. Let's gooooooo. Day 1 purchase now for sure. First time ever being on this side of the coin where I don't have to rely on my parents buying me a console to play. Hopefully some actual gameplay is revealed this time and not just cinematic trailers for games. I don't mind new game reveals, but some gameplay is what I want to see.

Beyondthegrave07 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I kind of want to see live gameplay so we can see the loading times, frame rate, graphics, UI, etc ourselves. I can't imagine buying one soon unless I see something jaw-dropping though, so I hope Sony brings their A game. Fully backwards compatible for all PS systems, connectivity with PS3/PS4 libraries, trophies added to classics and older games, beautiful UI with a way to search your library quickly and play without long download times, easy transferrable saves from PS4-PS5 via cloud, plentiful hard drive space for games, etc. I need something that pretty much makes my PS3 and PS4 a fossil, but I doubt we'll see that.

sharkyaya Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Even though I’m not getting the PS5 at launch, this has still got me pumped! Can’t wait to see what they’ll showcase. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slava Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Finally! They're promising new game announcements, cool. But it's not very clear if they mean first-party or third party or both. I hope to see more first-party titles like Knack 3 Horizon 2. I don't expect them to reveal the price yet. And yes, they should talk about BC more and explain what that "majority of PS4 games" really means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you are really not the only one. Millions of people had PS4 as their first Playstation, so not having BC for PS1, PS2 and PS3 won’t bother them. Same for me. I did have a PS2 but gave it to my cousin along with any games I had. So I couldn’t really care as well. 51 minutes ago, Beyondthegrave07 said: I kind of want to see live gameplay so we can see the loading times, frame rate, graphics, UI, etc ourselves.

I could only see PS5 having PS1 and PS2 BC. PS3 is pretty much a right off because of the different architecture and also because if I am correct, Sony cannot use Emulators for Third party games due to contractual obligations or something like that. Trophies to classic games would be way too much effort as well for them. And not sure if 825 GB of SSD will really be enough considering how close games are getting to the 100 GB mark and exceeding it. And yeah I think there definitely will be live gameplay. It’s supposed to be over an hour long and Sony probably learnt a lesson from Microsoft’s fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it was, I spoke only for myself, it would be cool but my priority is having new games that take advantage of the new tech, which is the point of having a new console. Also, as a former Xbox player, I can say that Xbox's BC functionality is far from perfect or even complete- there are many, many games that are either not supported at all or just don't work very well. I think a lot of people believe they'll be able to just pop in any game from the original console up and it'll work. Nope.
