Re: The PS5 Appears to Be Extremely Conscious of Spoilers

@djlard Did you not see the presentation for the UI? It looked pretty quick when they showed this off.


Having tips videos PIP or by the side is gonna be well handy. And good that they will be non spoilery too. I've had loads spoiled in the past from next video or recommendations on YouTube.

Re: Reaction: PS5's User Experience Is Made for Modern Games

@Mpquikster Well yeah you need the game disk in the console so it checks for the licence etc. Without the disk the game won't load at all. When you do have the disk in the console you still get all the other benefits of having a game digitally that the SSD offers, you are not going to be hampered for having a game on disk.

Re: Western Digital Reveals First PS5 Compatible SSD

@Oz_Momotaro Well yes, you can do that but then the choice is entirely down to the individual. Then they can't really complain when they have chosen not to do something which is totally viable and hardly back breaking. And it shouldn't take as long as it currently does, so even less of ball ache. I see no issue.

Re: Western Digital Reveals First PS5 Compatible SSD

@RogerRoger Unless I've misunderstood you, it's not. The cheaper digital PS5 is still more expensive than the 1TB SSD. But you can still store games on 'normal' external drives. PS5 games are only playable from the internal ps5 drive. Unless someone goes totally crazy with purchasing PS5 games and has to play them all at once, most of us will be ok with what we have currently got for the foreseeable future when the ps5 is out.

Re: Soapbox: Screw Sony's PS5 Game Pricing, I'll Just Wait for Sales

Whoops I selected 'Yes' instead of 'Sometimes'. 🤦‍♂️

I'll continue what I've been doing over the last couple of years, only pre-ordering games I absolutely want to play. This year it will be about 4 games, last year I think it was 2 games. Everything has has been picked up cheaper either in sales or second hand.

Besides the prices quoted are only the RRP, they will eventually go down on sites like Amazon.

Re: Talking Point: What Will Be Announced at PS5 Showcase Event?

JohnnyShoulder

I'd be surprised if any more launch window games are announced, but I expect there to a few more games teased which will be out in 6 - 18 months from launch. Sony did say thet were trying to vere away from announcing games years away from being ready. Just hope we don't get something like Nintendo did with Metroid Prime 4 and literally just get the logo and then nothing else for 2 years.
