Why buy a PS5 when still in 2024 I can play the soon to be released COD and FIFA on a PS4.

Unfortunately you've hit the nail right on the head. As a day one PS5 adopter it makes my blood boil that we are still seeing Cross gen releases.

I could just about accept it in the first 6 month launch period but we're now 4 years down the line and it should not be happening anymore.

Make all new games Current Gen exclusive and give people a reason to upgrade their consoles.

I've grown up owning every Sony and Nintendo console and this Cross Gen nonsense was never a thing until recently.

You buy the latest console to give you the privilege of playing the latest games.

As much as I love my PS5 I just feel completely cheated this generation

@Frmknst

What a strange comment.

Are you seriously telling me that you've never, booked a holiday, ate at a restaurant or bought an expensive item (just a few examples) without first reading a couple of reviews to get other opinions on whether it's worth your hard earned cash??

If you haven't then fair play to you for living life on the edge lol

But reviews done properly and not by trolls can be extremely helpful to many people, certainly doesn't mean there something wrong with them for wanting another persons opinion before committing themselves and potentially wasting their money

I'm fine with it as long as it somehow only allows people to leave a review if they can prove that they've actually purchased and played the game.

There are far too many fake reviews out there as it is from trolls.

As long as the reviews are from people who have genuinely played the game then I honestly don't mind and will value their opinion (good or bad)

@Almost_Ghostly

I guess I was one of the lucky ones 🤪

Personally I think the price is fine as it is.

Perhaps stop releasing games as cross gen and make them PS5 exclusive, which in turn will then give people an actual reason to upgrade their consoles.

It's getting better but I honestly can't believe cross gen games are still a thing almost 4 years into the lifecycle of the PS5

@Retron

That's a lot of people who want to play FIFA and COD in HD.

I'm sorry but that's not true at all!!!!!

Actually We like to call it EA Sports FC 24 nowadays

@Almost_Ghostly

They have definitely stopped for me (or at least they had, I haven't added this month's free games to my library yet so not in a position to confirm if they've started again)

In the last year or so the only time I've had a "thank you for your purchase email" was when I've actually bought something.... ie money changing hands......

Haven't had an email for claiming a free PS plus game in a long long time so definitely not fake news

Still more than I'd personally want to pay for one but I believe this is the price it should have originally launched at to give it a fighting chance of survival

Looks amazing but unfortunately I already have 2 Controllers and have no need for a 3rd one.

It's still £150 more than I'd be willing to pay for it

@ORO_ERICIUS

I could well be getting confused with Forza horizon on the Xbox

Bit of a boring answer to be honest but....... not alot changes.

If anything I probably get more opportunities to game because my wife and daughter both watch Love Island every night so I'm left to my own devices for a good hour before bedtime

@Kidfunkadelic83 @willzomg

Try this, I found it on another website, I did it a while ago and it did work

*How to delete game files on a PS5
When you delete a PS5 game, the data associated with it is saved in case you want to reinstall the game in future. But, if you definitely don’t want to play the game again, you can delete the game file, and free up some extra space, as follows:

Go to the home screen.
Select ‘Settings’.
Select ‘Saved Data and Game/App Settings’.
Choose ‘Saved Data (PS5)’
Select ‘Console Storage’.
Click on ‘Delete’.
Choose the files you want to delete.
Hit ‘Delete’.
Press ‘OK’ to confirm.*

I was expecting a 2024 release but I think if we still haven't heard anything official by the end of September then I don't think it will happen (this year)

Based on your preview yesterday, I'm going to skip this one, I was already considering skipping it anyway.

I may pick it up a few months down the line when / if it's on sale for half the RRP

Or better still if it's given away on PS plus again later in the year

@Netret0120

Only because of the lack of competition

I'd there was an alternative I'd happily mix things up a bit

@GeeEssEff

Historically I've always tended to alternate between buying FIFA one year then Pro Evolution the other, that way it at least felt like I was getting a different game each time.

Obviously Konami have ruined that method for me haha.

I'm hoping the rumoured new 2K football game turns out to be real then at least I've got some options again

Having bought the last 4 versions (FIFA 21, 22, 23 and EA Sports FC 24) I might sit this one out.

As much as I enjoy them, I don't feel there's enough of an upgrade year on year for me to justify spending another £70 on it.

I'm thinking if I skip a year then I may notice a bit more of a difference for the 2026 version.

Oh who am I kidding, I know I'll end up buying it it!!!

I'll add them to my library but I probably won't play them.

As I said when they were announced they're not to my personal taste but at least its 3 games that I've actually heard of for a change

@sanderson72

It's actually already out for the Switch just incase you didn't already know.

I picked it up a couple of weeks back. At first I didn't really like it, it took me a good 8-10 games to get the hang of it.

I think I lost every single game and had at least 2 men off each time but I preserved and then eventually something just clicked.

I absolutely love it and can't put it down, the matches are very short so it's definitely got that "go on then just one more game" feel to it.

Camera number 5 is the one you want for the perfect Birdseye view ala Sensible Soccer

It's all about Astro Bot for me and probably Test Drive Unlimited

Oh and you missed Sociable Soccer 24 off the list (releasing in September I believe)

Not to my personal taste but 3 fairly well known decent games none the less

Nothing to complain about as far as I'm concerned, especially when you think of the absolute trash Xbox used to give away with games with Gold

@Fyz306903

Also most of the games will probably still be cross gen with the PS5 & PS6

I'll be honest, after being 100% physical and completely against digital games I'd say I'm 60% converted.

I just love the convenience of not having to get up and change discs.

It's mainly the pricing I have issues with, not all the time but more often than not physical games are cheaper than digital and I think it should be the other way around seeing as you don't get a box or any packaging... that saving of not having to provide a disc and packaging should be passed on to the consumer

@Northern_munkey

Thinking about it, that was why I ended up switching too, my 360 had 2 x ring of death incidents. Fortunately it was under warranty and replaced with a new console each time but after the 2nd one I lost confidence in it.

I ended up selling it whilst it was still under it warranty and putting the money towards a PS3.

I remember at the time not liking it as much, the online chat features and match making with friends wasn't a patch on the 360.

However it still works to this day so it served it's purpose I guess

I've had the pleasure of owning every Playstation so far but for whatever reason, PS3 was my least favourite.

I actually preferred my Xbox 360

Feel so dirty admitting that

When you try to sell what is basically an accessory, for more than the cost of the console it was made for, you're asking for trouble.

I absolutely love Sony, but they've really dropped the ball on this one

@BamBamBaklava89

What a strange reason to skip a game lol

Because it's not being released on a console that released way back in 2013 almost 11 years ago? Seriously

PS4 game releases should have ended 6 months maximum after the PS5 was released, PS5 is now almost 4 years old so it's about time the PS4 went into a well earned retirement

Obviously the PS4 is powerful enough to handle it but it's really time to move on

@ecurb7

I'll certainly hear an argument for that but for me it's a case of "What you've never had, you'll never miss"

Can't say I've ever played anything on that list so I won't be losing any sleep over them

Sociable Soccer 24 on my Switch

@UltimateOtaku91

I know they signed a 10 year deal. My initial thoughts at the time was thinking it was more for the Switches successor

Still milking that PS4 ??

These AAA titles really should be next Gen only by now

Why spoil it for the Majority just to please a minority ?

So quite literally nothing then lol

Would look great on my games room wall

I'll say the same thing I always say whenever there's one of these articles posted.

The only games I'm interested in seeing come over are the Forza / Forza horizon games

The rest simply don't interest me in the slightest.

Which is probably why I own a PS5 and not a Series X

@Arkz

Interestingly, Microsoft make the same 8K claims about their Series X

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/xbox-series-x

Not sure what to make of that myself but it would suggest that they may both support it through an update if and when it's ready

@Arkz

If you don't mind me saying... for a feature you have no interest or intention of using you seem to care way too much about this.

Just let it go man, it's really not that big of a deal

@Arkz

I hope you understand that I'm not disagreeing with you as such.

I'm just pointing out that pretty much not a single person would have saw the box on the shelf and saw the 8k logo and thought "ooooh, I must get myself one of them because it supports 8k"

They bought it because it was a PS5 and would have been buying one regardless of what it claimed on the box

@Arkz My point was more addressing the fact that almost nobody would have bought it just because it said 8K on the box.

I, and I'm sure millions of others would have been buying one regardless so it wasn't really a selling point

If you want to talk about false advertising let's go right back to Sega with their Blast processing (that didn't exist)

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say false advertising.

I doubt there any many people (if any) that bought one just because it said 8K on the box

The vast majority of people (myself included) will have bought one simply because it was the new Playstation on the Market and it was a hot item

@Nem

No this is something completely separate altogether.

I'm also picking up Sociable soccer 24 for the Switch on Friday so it seems all the football games are coming along at once

@nessisonett

Yeah admittedly the last free world cup update we got did feel like something was missing so I know what you mean.

That said though I still never thought it was worth a full priced release, it was essentially the same game just with National squads. Maybe worth picking up if you hadn't already bought the main game

I know some smart arse (and I dont mean yourself) will come back with "Huh, FIFA is basically the same game released every year so what difference does it make"

@Jey887

When I think of the 2010 tournament the first thing that springs to mind is those dreadful Vuvuzelas.

I'm going to assume the game didn't include them 😂

I remember back in the day they used to release these as a full priced new game.

As much as I dislike EA' antics sometimes, I have to give them credit for doing this as a free update again

Please never use The Simpsons hit n Run picture out of context on this website again

Just for a brief moment I thought........ you know

Saved by Astro Bot

I loved Astros playroom but it was very short and left you needing more.

Thankfully now we're getting it and I for one can't wait

I am subscribed to Extra but only because it was on sale for the same price as Essential so it was a no brainer.

If I'm honest I probably don't use it as much as I should but it is kind of nice knowing that I have access to all those games if and when I want them.

Also, £60 - £65 a year is hardly going to break the bank
