@TheNewButler I wasn't impressed by the RT demo of Series X Minecraft because I was spoiled by this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NehSihoHCpc

1) Cerny admitted the Pro is very loud when playing demanding games, yet intends to overclock the bejesus of the PS5. How will that deal with fan noise and heating? He implied the machine won't make a lot of noise.

2) We have no idea how the BC PS4 games will run on a PS5. Will they load faster? Will they look sharper? Will they play faster? No info at all.

Underwhelming, but still, answered some questions.

@banacheck I was under the impression 'leftists' love this game, lesbian protag and all.

You sure it's not the 'whine at anything and everything' crowd?

Finally! I've been waiting for an xbox website with a quality rivalling pushsquare and nintendolife!

The only xbox-only (heh) sites I would find had a news update every week or something!

Good news for me!

Double-dipped on Mortal Kombat 11 (bought it for my Pro after playing almost a year on my X1X), and also trying to beat the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon.

Having a blast. Staying in my room to make sure I won't infect my elderly relatives.

@ILikeStake Why not both?

You brought this on yourself, Liam.

clears throat

Oh, man ...

Oh, God, oh man ...

Oh, God, oh man, oh God, oh man, oh God oh Man oh GOD!

The latest update crashes my ps4 whenever I return from rest mode.

Here's hoping this update will fix the issue.

Looks amazing, and made me remember the next Ninja Gaiden game we'll definitely gonna see this gen!

@Matroska Oh, I know. I just never expected them to remake both hunter specimens in a single remake (considering they get a little stingy in the bestiary in the remakes).

Not one but TWO Hunter species.

Holy c$%p.

I have a hard-on for pumkin-headed characters, so this is definitely going to my watch list.

People's safety comes first.

If less fatalities means PS5 comes later, then by all means, let it come later.

@Bagshot nah, plenty folks complained, specifically those who want to explore at their own pace.

Frankly, I didn't find him annoying, and if you clean the RPD of lickers before he arrives, he's a lot more tolerable.

@kyleforrester87 If I was a betting man, I'd say that's a death animation.

"Touch the Demon inside me ..."

Don't mind if I do ... (wink wink)

"Godfall was announced back at the Video Game Awards last December."

You make it sound as if it was ages ago, Robert.

@DonJorginho yup. OsirisBlack. Was a verified leaker in the older days (before GAF and ERA were Autobots and Decepticons), but is still regarded as a guy who knows his stuff.

@DonJorginho Sincerely hoping this is the long rumored dino crisis reboot we need and deserve.

At this point it's so long since we had a new entry it can just as well be considered a new ip.

@DonJorginho The leaker made the implication just recently, and congratulated Phil for 'being a man of his word'. Also, Phil recently tweeted about being in Japan and admiring the drive devs have over there for making good games.

He also insinuated that Street Fighter 6 will again be a ps exclusive, and re8 may be a thing for the ps5 only.

But that's the thing about him. He gives vague hints, not directly confirming anything. The most direct confirmation he gave was about a yellow-eyed monster stalking an immediately recognizable character in the dark, and said this was the most impressive in-engine trailer he has ever seen - more impressive than hellblade 2.

That trailer was implied to be a ps5 exclusive, but that's just conjecture from the rest of us trying to make sense of his c%$#teasing.

Edit: The monster was described as insect like, with four eyes, able to curse the character and being capable of speech. He said it's an ancient version of a creature we've seen before in the IP the trailer belongs to. The character the monster is stalking has a shoulder-com device and is recognizable, making many of us think of a sequel to The Order 1886.

@RatmCky Like I said, a rumor. A leaker on GAF who has a decent track record but has the nasty habit of speaking in puzzles and riddles implied that MS is out for blood this gen and implied the konami acquisition. Could be bull. We'll see.

Frankly, I want so much to see IPs like Silent Hill, Castlevania and Gradius to come back, that I don't mind if they come back as MS exclusives.

Edit: same leaker claims that the ps5 is slightly stronger than the series x, so don't be quick to handwave him as a microsoft fanboy.

Just so you guys know, it is also rumored that MS bought the rights for konami IPs.

Which means that Hills and Castlevania may become xbox exclusives.

Next gen is going to be a bloodbath for people who aren't willing to invest in both ecosystems.

Where the hell does the go woke get broke remark fit in? Seriously, stop bringing politics where there's none, ffs!

It's sad and pathetic.

It's like these manchildren always loved the fact that they could rub the 'we got god of war/last of us/any other ps exclusive and you don't nyah nyah nyahnyah nyah' card on non-ps gamers' faces and feel superior in a moronic, childish way.

If Sony says that the last of us will cease to be released on playstation and will be exclusive to other platforms, I can understand the complaints then.

If not, shut up and grow up.

Jesus.

Witchfire is definitely a next-gen game.

I have a backlog as big as the Coran, so I'm ok with waiting.

@SKC_Diamond Next month, at the World Tour finals would be my guess. Around the 8th of February.

Be there!

@ShogunRok What is this … reee deeng you speak of?

Honest opinion, Robert. Appreciated.

Definitely a 10-20€ game for me.

@Octane

Knack, knack!

Who's there?

Knack.

Knack who?

Knack three.

Looks like crap.

1. PS5 will have full backwards compatibility with all previous PS systems - and said games will be updated to 4K with a new built-in engine of the PS5 (I believe you, hiphopgamer!)

2. Dino Crisis will be announced by Capcom for the PS5 in the reveal (not console exclusive).

@Quintumply Very, very VERY nice rogue-like shooter. I played it a bit on Game Pass. Nice to know it's coming to the PS.

@get2sammyb Fair enough, I guess. You should also check out the rumor that Void Bastards is coming to PS4. A true gem of a game, it's nice to hear that it's possibly coming to the Sony ecosystem. EDIT: You already did. Kudos!

"We have decided to post a 'leak' which we believe to be untrue and complete nonsense. Apparently, this qualifies as news."

That's it!

I've come up with a new recipeeee!

Everything leaks nowadays. Everything.

Almost no surprises, no GATCHA! moments. Fighting game rosters are leaked. Demos are leaked. Covers are leaked. Games are leaked. Endings are leaked. Screenshots are leaked. Videos are leaked. Cancelled games are leaked. Console specs are leaked.

As a YouTuber once said, "The Internet gave us access to everything … but also gave everything access to us."

So … lemme get this straight.

Shenmue III was placed as one of the top 10 games of the year because people really really really wanted it to be made?

@Robinsad THANK YOU!

While a great action game and the progenitor of a genre - the shoulder-view shooter - it is nowhere near Survival Horror as its fans suggest it is. And if it wasn't for the regenerators, it wouldn't have any horror elements at all.

@ShaiHulud Sounds good to me!

@ShaiHulud This comment cannot be downvoted enough.

@SuperSilverback Might be an unrelated scene. Not entirely sure, but I think I can see someone sitting in a sofa way across Sephiroth (in the back).

@I_Like_It Don't hold your breath. Devs like to push consoles to their limits - so while native 4K will be a lot more feasible for the PS5, 60fps won't be - because many devs will like to have i.e. game models with ten times the number of polygons they have now.

Think of it this way:
Did all games on the PS3 ran at 720p/60fps? No, they didn't.
Did all games on the PS4 Pro ran at 1080p/60fps? No, they didn't.
Will all games on the PS5 run at 4K/60fps? No, they won't.

@DanM To quote google:

"Microsoft marketed the device as an "all-in-one entertainment system", hence the name 'Xbox One'."

@DanM I think it was somewhere stated but MS wants to avoid numbering their consoles because the number will always be 1-2 steps behind the PlayStation's.

X-Box 4
PlayStation 5

Immediately gives the casual an impression the PS5 is an updated console over the Xbox 4.

@ShogunRok Okay, seriously. If someone out of nowhere came and announced a game called Dark Souls, would you be anymore interested than hearing Godfall?

Hype is built from the game, not its name.

@DonJorginho It's a 3-player co-op, and judging by the camera, I don't see it being local co-op. We'll see.

Definitely picking this up, at some point!

I got plenty of stuff I was looking forward to see, so it gets an A+ from me. Don't really care about the cringe. I mean, first PS5 gameplay footage? X-Box Series X visual reveal? C'mon, guys - that's hot stuff!

Plus, WE GET TO BE A SHARK IN THIS GEN, TOO!

@Shigurui Go to PlayStation Lifestyle. They have an interview with the devs there with a GIF which shows a bit of the combat - looks incredible!
