Less than a month before people will have it in their own hands so why have Sony bothered putting an embargo on certain pieces of info? Especially if its only for a few more days. Seems pointless really.
Means nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially if this ends up being anywhere near as good as The Witcher! Although I am disappointed this won't be able to be the first game I play on PS5
I'm warming to these 2! Now I've seen them in character (kind of). I feel like they'll have a good back and forth just like in the games. I do hope they don't just go for a re telling of the first game as Drake and Sully would be older than Tom and Mark are now!
Nice idea! Just hope those rewards aren't for only incredibly difficult trophies! I enjoy playing the games more than stressing about getting every trophy.
@710King Seems a long time to wait. I'm not patient enough for that, I'll be playing it launch day and then I'll enjoy the free next gen upgrade whenever that comes out as well.
If it wasn't for Cyberpunk I would probably be more excited about this. Love the Viking/Old England setting but can't see myself bothering with it until later next year.
The fact that this comes out the same day as the PS5 (same day I also receive it hopefully) means this will 100% be the first game I play next gen!! These are the kind of games that need to become more of a regularity on PS5, massively detailed/open world/full of things to do.
@TheIdleCritic Does make you realise that perhaps with all the work that goes into modern games, maybe paying that extra £10 isn't such a crime after all.
Can't wait for this! Just hope it lives up to what is expected. I'm liking what I see so far but I'd not say no to a bit gameplay from the finished version!
I play FIFA a fair bit but it is mainly FUT and Online Seasons. Not fussed about not keeping my progress in Online Seasons, part of the fun of that is rising up to the top anyway, not the stress of trying to stay there.
@Anti-Matter I understand what you mean but if you are one of the many who have paid for a PSVR headset you want games which are specifically designed to be played that way. I'll use Beat Saber as an example, because that is a fantastic game. Ultimately that game is as good as it is because its in VR and solely VR.
@ApostateMage Arguably those yearly games (sports especially) may be the only ones that are worth the extra £££ increase, however much that would be, considering the replay value they hold. Not that id be happy with it.
There's a few PS5 games for pre order on Amazon (not always the cheapest) available at £69.99 but also many at £51.99. So it seems it may vary widely depending on the game.
Can't say i would ever bother with it, unless it did decrease in price dramatically. Never been an issue for me to delete games and then re install them if I want to play again further down the line. I understand that in 3/4/5 years time it may be worthwhile as the size of an expansion could be considerable, but until then its not on my mind at all.
If the full version is up to scratch then fine, I can take not having a demo but I'm struggling to envisage it being much better than last year! It also does smack of a sneaky way of forcing people to sign up to EAPLAY to preview the game.
I'm really not sure what peoples issue is with them releasing the pre orders without announcing it first. It prevents a massive influx of online traffic to one or two websites. I can only imagine the chaos if they had announced that all retailers would be allowing pre orders from 9am, most websites would not have been able to cope with it (Game & Argos especially) and they would've sold out within minutes or the websites would have crashed.
I can say in great certainty that in 100 years time, JK Rowling will be remembered only for creating a magical world and not for any comments she made on social media or for her choice of character in a new book that no one will remember anyway.
Looking forward to this. Hopefully get to find out a release date soon and fingers crossed it doesn't get delayed, this feels like one of those games that may well do.
@TheNewButler Never said it would look any different, very much doubt it will. HOWEVER on my PS4 Pro, the fan goes crazy as it does with most of the big games. So more than anything I'm looking forward to not having that happen, but also just a much smoother experience.
Not bothered. I dont buy a brand new console not to play brand new games. Maybe a few years down the line they may bring a few older titles into the digital market.
I feel like this is a good move from Sony but you can't please everyone! I've played most of the games on the list but I'll certainly give a few of them another play as its been a few years.
I'll be hoping they have a good amount already prepared so that everyone who wants to pre order will be able to. Can't think if anything worse than pre orders being halted in the first few hours because of a small supply.
@SmileyK People enjoy discussing and making predictions. Nothing wrong with it, not harming anyone. That's why there is a comments sections and a forum, for exactly that.
I dont think Sony even needs to have an answer to the Series S, seems to be a fairly pointless console in my eyes. Its like when a car manufacturer produces a bottom of the line spec with no extras or comfort options purely just so they can say "prices start from £XXX".
It should fit in the gap where PS4 is now but I am concerned about it getting hot again just like the Pro! May consider one of these wall holders if it looks decent!

FIFA 21 because I can't help myself and i must obviously enjoy the small fits of rage that come with it.
Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
@Chris93 I'm sure Bloodborne has already been a PS+ game, I may be mistaken though.
Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Would be a nice touch to have The Order 1886 as one of them! Seeing as it was released with the PS4 (if I remember right).
Re: PS5 Custom Faceplates Are Already Available to Pre-Order
Hope they do bring out some official ones sooner than later.

@710King everything I've seen says you'll be able to play Cyberpunk from day 1 on PS5.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Main Story Is 'Slightly Shorter' Than The Witcher 3's Because Players Complained About Length
In principle this isn't an issue, as long as there's quality and variety in the story. I'm sure as they say there will be plenty of side stuff to do.

Re: PS5 Is Breaking Pre-Order Records at Some Retailers
@Synthatron_Prime In what way is it a train wreck? Because they allowed pre orders without prior knowledge and you missed out?
Re: Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling Is Not Involved with Hogwarts Legacy

Re: Sony's First Year, First-Party PS5 Lineup Blows PS4's Away
All those great exclusives and then think about Cyberpunk and Valhalla being available for PS5 also. Mouth-watering
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is an Open World RPG, Will Allow You to Become the Witch or Wizard You Want to Be
Looking forward to this. Hopefully get to find out a release date soon and fingers crossed it doesn't get delayed, this feels like one of those games that may well do.

Not bothered. I dont buy a brand new console not to play brand new games. Maybe a few years down the line they may bring a few older titles into the digital market.
Re: All PS Plus Collection Games on PS5
I feel like this is a good move from Sony but you can't please everyone! I've played most of the games on the list but I'll certainly give a few of them another play as its been a few years.
Re: Poll: Will You Buy a PS5?
Pre ordered from Amazon! Cant wait for 19th November! Pleased about the PS Plus updates, Days Gone will be superb on PS5.
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Unfortunately even though its now listed on Amazon UK, the page never actually loads! Just refreshes back to the home page
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PlayStation 5
Still nothing on Amazon!
Re: PS5's New DualSense Controller Will Cost $69.99
@brewersteve Totally agree.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is a Victorian Harry Potter Game for PS5, PS4
Will be interesting to see how this does. The movie tie in games all tended to be fairly solid so I do have high expectations for this.
Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Showcase Event Deliver?
Meh......wasn't as good as I expected! Just glad we know the price and release date now.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to See at PS5's Showcase Event?
In this order - GAMEPLAY > RELEASE DATE > PRE ORDER DATE > PRICE > CONFIRMATION OF RELEASE TITLES.

Re: Poll: How Much Are You Willing to Pay for PS5?
Anyone just seem XBOX confirm Series X will be £450! Thats crazy cheap, hopefully PS5 will be similar, although even £500 would be reasonable.
