What about development time? Sony making games on another platform is time taken away from making you know PlayStation games. What happens when PlayStation consople sales numbers fall? Install base is a important factor and gives a platform a lot of extra advantages. There are millions of people that play on more then one console. Sony exclusive games drive these people to include it as a system seller to them.
@Gmork___ The original had a break out box with no HDR pass-through You had to unplug the PS4 HDMI cable from that box. Then remove the second HDMI cable that came from box. Then plug you ps4 HDMI cable back directly into your TV. Unless you have A 4K HDR TV then there was no need to swap.
@AhmadSumadi People with more money then brains drive scalpers. Some will go in debt and pay interest making them pay even more. I can not imagine why they feel this is the right thing to do.
Calling the release date now November 2023! I stopped using my PSVR because of all the hassle with the wires and no HDR pass-through. HDMI plugs are easy to damage with constant swapping.
Only event I have to look forward to is the Game Awards now. State of play needs a time schedule!! Just like E3 and the Game Awards people need I set date to look forward to.
I still have my Diablo II colledtors edition sitting in my book shelf along with the Diablo II expansion box. Blizzard was King back in the day on PC. Diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, World of Warcraft i still think of the best games ever made.
I play on PS5 and yes Cyberpunk 2077 still crashes on me one or more times a day. However I love it. A restart is very quick on PS5 and i am right back in action. I am still playing it daily and on my 3rd play through as Corpo. Do not try to rush this game slow down take it all in.
This doesn't give me a good feeling for this game. I never buy dlc. I may have to wait for a $9.99 discount and not buy the up-sale digital dlc. No matter how much I love Ratchet and Clank. This would have been the first game I would be willing to pay $69.99 for.
I got a PS5 pre- order in but it took a lot of time and persistence. Started trying at 5PM when sales started to go live. I stayed online till I got a order in at 3AM. I had full intentions to go to a local store and line up at 4AM.
Next lets make the consoles out of paper to cut back on plastic. It was my thinking everyone is going all digital anyway. Of course I would have no problem if they went to all steelbook cases!!!!
Every time I hear about a game being very difficult it turns me away from it. Persistence always wins but why bother. I may pick it up at 75% off being i may only play 25% of the game.
I love that Sony went with the White color and textured symbols. I have never paid attention to the hardware console much at all. I continue to pay attention to the way PS5 and accessories looks for a few seconds every time I turn it on. With my headphones draped across the top and the charging station pressed up to the front of the console it all goes together very well.
Going on 11 years as a PS Plus subscriber I have never felt PS Plus when subscribed and looked at by the year was not a great value. I have only paid full price 1 or 2 years out of the 11 years. I have got it free with reward points for 3-4 years.
The streaming boogie-man is not under your bed and coming to get you. I do not even accept the all digital format. I accept streaming, digital, and physical as a options ONLY! The day I do not have the option to pick my choice is the day I say no thanks.
The pushsquare article was based on a story by Bloomberg. If anyone want to point out blame, point to the source. Or we could just be happy Japan still loves home consoles and PlayStation.
People still have not learned you should not complain about place holder launch dates. Lets all hope Ratchet and Clank will NOT launch until its ready.
To get the most of PS Plus you need to subscribe by the year!! Plus tends to go on sale in November 2020 it was $44.99 in the USA that is $3.75 a month. Protecting all my game saves online is well worth that price alone. Now with 1 PS5 game and 2 PS4 games each month its still the best deal in gaming for $3.75 a month!
I was thinking 2-3 months. But when you think of the number of people that still want a PS5 that still do not have one. The PS5 is still in its launch window. My guess is it will not meet demand until early to mid 2022
I have Concrete Genie I picked it up black Friday for $7.99. Doesn't matter I haven't opened the physical copy yet and can now keep it sealed! Destruction Allstars and Control I want to try. At this point I feel PS Plus by the year has already paid for it self for all of 2021.
Sony should offer online play to come with both PS+ and PS Now given a choice to what service players want to join. They could also offer PS+ and PS Now for $99.99 a year as a bundle discount of $20.
Never expected 2021 to be a banner year. Its a transition year as in the past they are lean anyway. It took me a year after PS4 launched to unplug my PS3. It's also a good time to have PS Plus for the year and the PS5 titles we will receive.
If there is one thing Cyberpunk has taught us is that delays are not a bad thing! I didn't even know Harry Potter had a release date to get pushed back. God of War is one I feel may not hit 2021.
The only ps4 title I have played on my PS5 is Cyberpunk 2077. I play on my PS5 every Day. I plan to get my next PS5 game when I finish Cyberpunk 2077 and Maneater. I have been thinking of selling my PS4 Pro because of BC. Something I have never done before and still have all past consoles and my games for them.
Death threats should not be brushed off so quickly. As long as everyone gets their money refunded nothing is lost. Yet people are Discrediting them for doing that.
CyberPunk 2077 on PS5 my games seem to error/crash when im driving full speed on the roads. I love the game even though the crashes are annoying when they happen.
@Flaming_Kaiser Waiting a year is not a bad thing, some were still having trouble finding a PS4 at that point. Games will come to PS5 that you can not buy on PS4 ever like Ratchet &Clank. People at this point should wait and save more money if they need to for a PS5. Even if it takes them a year or more. You are also getting a PS4 + a PS5 when you buy a PS5!
I own every body's golf, MLB15 The Show, and NBA2K15 oh and one UFC game. I guess I need to pick up Madden 21 in the future when its $8.99 on Physical disc in a black Friday sale. Out of all of them I have only played one single 9 inning game of base ball. All this has no effect on me. I am not into sports games at all.
In the USA not only is the PS5 sold out, every PS4 slim, PS4, and PS4 Pro is sold out. You can only buy from 3rd parties, Ebay also is selling used above retail cost in most cases.
I see people saying buy a ps4 now and get ps5 in a few years why? Even if you get a ps4 for $200 then spend $499 for a ps5 you are paying a extra $200 or $699 to get to a PS5. The PS5 will likely have a 7 year life buy the PS5 and enjoy its full life cycle. Don't forget you get 20 blockbuster games FREE when you purchase a PS5.
If you do not have a 4K HDR TV that should be your first priority not a game console. Most TV's are used more than game consoles. I bought a TCL 43" 4K HDR TV for $250 new. That same model is still on sale today.
I am indifferent about this month. I want to try ManEater. I have not played it, but it seem to be good from other's comments. After the one year delay in the ps4 version of Rise of the tomb raider I lost interest in Tomb Raider. I did end up buying it on black Friday sale for like $14.99 but only put about a hour into it.
I may get to Greedfall at some point. but I got BorderLands 3, Concrere Genie, Red Dead Redemption, and CyberPunk 2077 for Christmas! I am really into CyberPunk 2077 despite the errors/restarts. I can see myself playing this for the most of January.

Re: Don't Expect Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 to Launch This Year
I long for the gone gold days when we knew a master was made for production. A best estimate is just that, not a release date.
Diablo 4 is one of the very few games I will pay $70 for!

Re: Talking Point: What Free February 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Destruction Allstars is the PS5 game at this point I don't care if we get PS4 games or not. PS4 VR games would be ok I did not buy many of them.
