So if TLOU2 is less than 200GB then is pure crap. : P

@rjejr yeah, wireless could be possible, but non essential (I've the revised PSVR with only one cable and HDR passthrough so it's fine). Anyway, my #1 request is better resolution and custom VR designed controls. Talking about resolution, of course we will get better... not sure how much better, maybe in the lines of the Vive PRO ? I love using cinema mode for playing racing games with a G29 wheel, but resolution is just not good enough. And controls, I've to think that is also reaaaally a safe to bet. So PSVR2 hardware will be great, also taking account that PS5 will have more power so graphics fidelity should be better (if the power does not get wasted on resolution).

I don't care for cross play but this is huge for what it means, Sony listening to customers needs.

I've my headset since jan18 and it's ok... This is something I was expecting to experience for more than 25 years, but yet I think the psvr2 will be what psvr should have been... Better resolution, wireless, and advanced controls. Anyway it's a very good product for the money, and the feeling you get with proper games/implementation is awesome. Really hoping to see Sony launching psvr2 with PS5.

As many said before, the score by itself means nothing if it's not backed up by a detailed description of how/why the reviewer came down to that conclusion. For me it's more meaningful to read the whole review and weight a couple more of reviews from other sites also - although this is my number one site ; ) .

Really great games for our loved PS4. Now we can only hope Sony Bend doesn't drop it with Days Gone. I really want it to be a great game, but based on available media, seems a little off.

The city sights from skycrappers are really nice. Clean & sharp graphics overall.

At first it seems like a bit of a downgrade for us with no insights on game code/inner workings. Ligthing does not look as good in the release shot. Even accounting for "different time of day" and "puddle size"... the difference is there. Anyway, if the change is just an artistic choice , then the release game will at some point look as good as the early shot. Games are not good because of graphics, but this kind of talk is commonplace , remember Uncharted4 that had similar differences with lighting etc. In the end gameplay is king.

@BAMozzy yes, it's always a matter of balancing. I've done some 3D rendering on a Pentium90 and I remember enabling Ray Tracing on the software, it was so nice but sooo slow. It comes down to costs and available hardware at the end. Take animation movies from almost 20 years ago (say, Monsters Inc) , realtime graphics as available today on consumer hardware today are not even remotly close to that. But accounting that a single frame of that movie took 29 minutes on a Pixar farm... well, you know. Anyway, graphics on games at 30/60fps are getting really nice (Detroit looks good) but still years away from movie quality without some kind of "rendering farm".

EDIT: 29 minutes per frame is for Monsters University, but give or take hardware leap for all those years in between, it would have take the same back then ; )

@NintendoFan4Lyf yes, that's pretty much my take also. You can go 24k resolution and 12GB textures but if lighting sucks, all sucks. And as you said, RT will need a couple of iterations to "get it right", but for me I can imagine it as something as "vital" as perspective correction and bilinear filtering back in the day... like turning RT off will give you nausea ; )

@Flaming_Kaiser almost... ; ) Xenon was (also) a vertical space shooter from the late 80s... damn I loved that one.

@NintendoFan4Lyf @BAMozzy ray tracing seems pretty much out of the equation for PS5 (I think more about costs/power than hardware availability), although it's one of the features than can truly mark a fidelity leap for next generation, isn't ?

EDIT: https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd-battlefield-5-hardware , RT seems to demand a lot of CPU power (many cores) so that will also seems to push RT out of the next-gen capabilities.

So if it's the god of darkness PS5 won't support ray tracing : /

Nothing for me, I already own GOW III and Here they lie, Destiny I don't care, Another world maybe... (I've played DOS version back then). Qube if PSVR would have been a nice addition, but anyway it is a great month and it seems that Plus is really getting better.

Didn't watch the entire video yet. It was more interesting that I've thought at first but nothing groundbreaking in terms of gameplay. I like cyberpunk style so I'm fine with it. The shooting seemed only serviceable, although having destructible environments is great. Under the radar for now.

@JoeBlogs same for me, still the old crap search...

@ShogunRok I'm happy with having a PS5 and be able to play PS4 games.

I think this is misleading. I'm a software developer and my take/guess is that this "miracle" of turning around things in 6 months doesn't come out of thin air... it was possible because everything was perfectly planned and that was the development roadmap. That's why almost every other developers/teams cannot fix a poorly running title in 6 months, 12 o even ever. If it was really like Cory shouting "we are 6 months from launch and the game is running like crap, oh God (of war) please fix our code before we get our a** kicked by Sony!!" , then it was really a miracle.

2021 Will be better for everyone. Sooner means weaker hardware and PS4 seems in good fit still.

I've played Doom on custom-built coax lan and 9inch b&w monitors back in the day. I've even networked my house with my cousin's a block away just to play Doom & others. I think invasion mode is a stroke of genius, even not really knowing how it will play, the idea is fantastic. I mean, gamers usually complains about how bad AI is, for solo campaigns but now you can have "the solo campaign enemies" being controlled by humans... So hour it could be bad? Ok. Stupids are everywhere... I guess we need to wait and see.

I'm not expecting anything new or groundbreaking... hoping to be proved wrong, we need fresh things. Anyway, with a solid "classic" gameplay and story, I'm sold.

Insane. And it's "old" by now... As the article points TLOU2 will be something else.

@get2sammyb Thanks. I haven't played a single God of War until the PS4 one, and I absolutely loved it. So I'm thinking this will be sitting on the same table ; )

I haven't read a single comic or anything on Spiderman but I usually enjoy the movies... I'll pick this one if the story and game as a whole ends as it's shaping to be. The thing is I'll miss every little detail fans of the character will recognize from the comics and stuff. I'm sad there's no decent Transformers game : /

My daughter will flip over this one...

Since day one I'm holding my purchase until it's in good shape, which seems to be the case now... so now I'm waiting for the NEXT sale ; )

I usually cannot stand horror games as I get scared too easily, and I had no trouble playing TLOU... so for me it's not a horror game. Anyway, I'm happy to put it on top of any genre's list ; )

Is this Sony shouting loud "we know this game is damn good" ??

RDR2 for me. It will be probably more of the same but that's fine. Hitman 2 will have a full release this year also ?? that's day one for sure.

@shafedog247 I get what you mean, it's of course not the real mean of a new console to play old games... but for instance, my ps4 games backlog is so huge that I already know I'll not able to play them before I got the PS5... for instance I have witcher 3 , MSGV, and many many others that I haven't even started. So be able to play them on PS5 without needing to have around a PS5 is surely a plus, because new console exclusives will be late for sure. But as you say, new all want a new console for new games, with new experiences not possible on older hardware. For instances, my hopes are really high for PSVR2.

@shafedog247 BC is important because you can jump in day one on ps5 , sell or whatever your ps4, and still play all your loved games (and maybe with further benefits like hyper mega boost mode ).

@neolit I know, mind you I don't own an OLED TV, but two lower end LG and Hisense 4K. I think HDR works better on the Hisense (which is the one I'm keeping, selling the other), but I've seen a LG OLED at a friends house and it's on another level. I'm happy anyway with my TV , but waiting to find OLEDs at an affordable price point (I'm from Argentina so that's VERY unlikely to happen in less than 3 years). Take a look at the rtings.com page and even a cheap/mid-range 4K TV will let you in awe vs a 1080p TV.

@Neolit go 4K OLED, is so much better, even using the standard PS4 with upscaling. I've the Pro but for many months I was using 4K tv with OG PS4, awesome. As you know, you can wait two or three years because "prices will drop and tech will get better" , that's always the case with almost anything... but you play today ; )

I've played the open beta for about 20min until I got to the part where you drive a Ford pickup (if I remember right). That was enough. Went straight to delete it. Awful physics, terrible boring, and that stuff of gaining "followers" by just doing almost anything? Really? God.

@Lifestranding well, I've the second iteration of PSVR and the headset itself has only one wire, but wireless is expected, yes. Same as some custom controllers for proper inputs, etc.

@Lifestranding I don't expect 4k for PSVR2, seems a little too much, but at least a 2x increase. Maybe like Vive Pro ?

@get2sammyb good to know it's really good. Hopefully the next world cup this will be available to all, and using PSVR2 ; )

Beat saber for me!! And where's Blood & truth??

Jap all the way!!

@ZurapiiYohane same here. Got my PS4 in July 2014 and my first game was TLOU. I was... shocked.

The only one I need is Cerny talking about the PS5 hardware target, even if it's 2 or 3 years away. I love hardware and "future proof vision", so whatever clever tricks he has under wraps for the PS5 to overcome budget, thermal and hardware availability is music to my ears.

I love Tetris so much... I wonder how VR will bring something meaningful to the gameplay. Im in anyway. What I think we need is a PSVR headset with increased resolution. Im playing racing games on cinematic mode and its a blast, amazing. But the resolution is not so adecuate.

Maybe Sony kept something in store for its own show later this year... Hopefully.

Very... Violent and... Raw. Must. Buy.

W t f ? Delivery boy on drugs?

Five years away (at least) is my bet. Hopefully Starfield is good enough to keep us busy during next-gen while TES6 lands.

TLOU 2 is my pick, but just because I loved so much the first one , and I remember after the end credits thinking "now, I only ask for TLOU 2, then I'm done for good" . Really, could be Ghost, could be Death Stranding... but my heart goes to TLOU 2.

@smelly_jr that sounds really good, almost a seller. Both persistent damage and limb removal ; )

I wish/hope this turns out a good game, love the setting, mood etc... but I'm not feeling it. I've seen a couple of gameplay videos and that didn't help either.

This is... kind of Horizon Zero Dawn mixed with The Terminator. Music is inspired by The Terminator for sure ; )
