I'll preorder

[Cynicalking]

So, Horizon 2 and Spider Man Miles Morales are coming to PS4, Demon's Souls launching on PC too. Seems like there won't be any exclusives for launch?

I still will try to get a preorder on a digital edition tomorrow Can't get the 3080 out of my mind, but I think my CPU will hold it back quite a bit, so PS5 it is.

[DeathKnight]

Xbox/Microsoft got tons of **** (including from Sony) for cross-gen games. Now Sony's revealed that Miles Morales, Sackboy, and the new Horizon game will be coming to PS4 as well.

I guess these games are being "held back" by being on current gen too....

[Sasquach]

Perhaps this means next gen isnt all its cracked up to be....?

I mean aside from playable 4K....what does it offer that the other consoles cant?

Higher frame-rates, SSD, Ray Tracing, more lights, more particles, more physics etc...

My PS4 is already my primary gaming platform. I'm not willing to spend the money to upgrade my PC when a PS5 is more than satisfactory for me. Great games, great visuals. I'm happy with it.

Well that seals the deal. Demon's Souls was only reason i was interested in PS5. No need to buy anytime soon for me now lol. It's great to be a PC gamer.

PS5 is also backward compatible with the PS4 which means you get to keep your games

I was hoping for that. I can't part with some of my PS4 games

[Jankan]

Seems like preorders opened early and already sold out everywhere lol

Wow, that is ridiculous. I thought people were out of jobs.

All the jobless people are sitting at home with nothing to do. And with the consoles having plenty of financing options, well...

[KAC]

I didn’t see a single game that makes me go to the mall and grab one. Maybe Spider-Man game but not enough to do a first day first show.

PlayStation Plus for PS5: These 18 games are available for free launch
News
16 September 2020

Sony has thought about Something Special for PlayStation Plus. PlayStation 5 owners can play 18 of the best PS4-era games with a PS Plus subscription on the Next Gen console with the PS Plus Collection. With God of War, The Last of Us Remastered or Persona 5, a few real pearls are included. We introduce you to all 18 games.

Where does the information come from? Sony announced today in the official PS5 event (all information in our live ticker) that PlayStation Plus subscribers will get a special benefit on the PS5. Sony introduced it right away.

This is what PlayStation 5 owners get for launch: If you buy a PS5 and subscribe to PlayStation Plus at the same time, you can access a PS Plus Collection for the release of Sony's next-gen console. This is a collection of 18 top titles that appeared in the PS4 era.

What's new about this? So far, PlayStation Plus usually offers 2 monthly free games that you can download and use for free with your subscription. In September 2020, PS Plus offered you PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Street Fighter V. PlayStation 5 owners now enjoy the PS Plus Collection but some of the most important games of the PS4 era.

By the way, in the meantime there is finally news about the pre-order of the PS5.
Games like Persona 5 can play PlayStation 5 - shoppers with PlayStation Plus for free on their console.
These 18 games are available with PS Plus for the launch of PlayStation 5

God of War
Bloodborne
Monster Hunter World

Not bad for a start

[SirBaron]

Spiderman Miles and Horizon Forbidden West both coming to PS4.

I thought Sony believed in Generations?

I'll get a PS5 digital at some point, but not in a rush at the moment.

[Silent-Runner]

1 out of maybe 30 friends is eager to get the ps5, the rest of em is in no rush at all In the end it will be the same as with every new console, people will trample over others to get their console on day 1 and a lot of them will buy more than just 1 to sell it to other idiots who are willing to pay ridiculous prices.

Turns out that were a mistake, demon souls isn't coming to PC. They pulled the trailer to fix that card.

Yeah I just read about that this morning. Makes more sense now.

I was really shocked at the thought of it coming to PC.

[Cyko]

Fking garbage. I had an early meeting and by the time it was done - sold out everywhere. This is literally motivating me to say fk you Sony this generation.

If you can't have it right now, you don't want it at all?

I don't think the consoles will ship until the ~middle of Nov, so we have time. I'm waiting for Best Buy to be able to confirm a sale myself so I can spend some BB gift cards. I'm just hoping to have one by the holidays.

Yeah the pre-order was a shithow. Opened a day earlier and screwed everyone that was waiting until today. I was pissed off last night because i couldn't sleep so decided ill keep a eye on amazon opening and never saw the pre-eorder open and 5 minutes later it was already all sold out Also, whatever happened to the registration for pre-orders

More angry at how they handled it. They said preorders won't open up until the 17th. Make the playing field level for everyone to get one....but NOPE, fk you consumers it's a guessing game/battle royale to get one. I don't like companies treating their customers unfairly, which is how I perceive Sony right now...

So yes, unless they rectify the situation I will vote with my wallet. Unless MS does the same thing, then I'll really be in a pickle

[Mangler]

Bots are ruining everything.

[MyTMouse]

I fully believe this is a pathetic tactic from Sony as they have done stuff like this before.

I expect them to keep trickling out small quantities of consoles and making people jump through hoops to get one because they then turn around and use that as marketing to drive even more hype..."hey look! it's sold out everywhere"

IMO they are even more of a scumbag company than Nintendo in this regard

I don't know if I'm ever going to get a Sony console ever again. I haven't bought one since the original Playstation

Pretty much.



Also, kinda sucks that I worked today and missed it all, oh well. Saves me from temptation for a bit. Which is probably for the best.

My thinking as well. I'm not jumping through hoops to get a fking console. I was actually planning on buying 2 of them (one for myself, one for a former co-worker who is a little down on his luck lately). Not anymore. If they said "we're opening pre-orders at 8am on the 17th" and I missed my chance, so be it. Fair is fair. This BS though....not having it.

"I don't know if I'm ever going to get a Sony console ever again. I haven't bought one since the original Playstation

I like the exclusives, but if this is how Sony is playing things then I'm not supporting their BS. ESPECIALLY since they haven't put out a statement saying "our bad" or some **** like that. It's complete silence on the Sony end. I did love MS coming out with a statement going "we'll let you know EXACTLY when pre-orders will begin"

Yeah, I was on the fence this round on which console I am going to get but I am going to try and pre order the Xbox and if I can get one then that settles that for me.

[Cyko]

So buddy texts me and says "preorders on walmart.com at 6pm (PST)". Figured "ok, here's my shot." I was on the site refreshing every 10 seconds since 5:55pm. 6:00pm on the dot I see add to cart, I get the fking thing in my cart, all my info is already saved on walmart.com and in the time it took to enter the 3 digit security code the item is removed from my cart and says "out of stock."

Yep, I'm done. This is horse sh*t. Fk you Sony
