To be honest, I can't see much of a difference. Spider-Man is already such a beautiful game that ray-tracing didn't make a huge impact for me. They could just unlock the frame rate in the original for a free upgrade and call it a day.

Also, I understood that performance mode lacks ray-tracing, does that mean that it's either ray-tracing or 60fps?

@Arnna Honestly? Yes if I play in sequence (which I actually like to do). It's not a graphical improvement, it's a complete remodeling of Peter. It makes me think about purchasing the remaster.

@get2sammyb Hey Sammy, PushSquare could have an article comparing both versions, with a summary of what's new and personal thoughts of different reviewers if it sounds worth the double dip or not. That would be a good read.

On to the next topic: are the enhancements worth the investment if you already own the PS4 version (and played it twice and got a Platinum)? I'm thinking the transition is going to be quite weird from old Peter looks to Spider-Man 2, unless the game has a time-travel story because this new face look younger. 60 FPS and the usage of adaptive triggers sound good as well...

To buy or not to buy? That's the question.

A friend of mine that is studying in Germany took a picture of Tom Holland leaving a pub, the area was isolated and the rumors were they were shooting Uncharted there. He didn't know what Uncharted was, but it was a nice surprise to see a proof the film is actually happening.

This will be an interesting generation of consoles. With Amazon Luna, Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud, it kinda feels like eventually Nintendo and PlayStation will merge with Microsoft to be able to fight back.

Edit: Or maybe Nintendo and PlayStation can merge with each other finally and rule them all.

@deathaxe In Brazil, Miles Morales alone costs as much as PS4 games on launch due to the next-gen prices (R$ 249.99). If I were to buy a remastered version of a game that I own all the DLCs for, that would cost me R$ 349.99 which is waaaay too much for a shorter game than Spider-Man plus upgrades to a game I already own.

Again, I'd like it for free like any other gamer, but I'm willing to pay if the upgrade is meaningful. Not this price though.

As long as games keep coming on PlayStation and studios manage to keep their creativity going, it doesn't matter who is behind them. It's when the studios are locked for their ecosystem that it becomes a problem. And to be honest, I'm not sure it's legal for one company to purchase all others and own the market, for instance Disney had to go on trial when purchasing Fox.

Also, some publishers should just stay far away from any high-quality studios, such as EA. They break whatever they touch if it's not sports related.

I wouldn't mind if they charged a small price for the upgrade in case it really is a meaningful upgrade. But asking us to buy the full game again is awful. I'll pass it.

Everything is quiet so far in Amazon Brazil, but the planned date range is actually November 24-26 around here.

No, I'll wait for sales. Unless it's a game I really want and I'll play it from day one (which is often not the case when I buy games on sale), then no, thanks. The price is too high. My launch games will actually be PS4 games running on PS5 to experience the improvement.

And I don't mean to be rude, I know games are getting really expensive, but maybe it's time to rethink that. Is it really required to spend millions to produce every single game? Sure we want our God of Wars, but I actually love my Crash Bandicoots as well - not every game needs to be a 90h+ open-world with hyper-realistic graphics, hollywood storywriting and characters played by live actors.

So what happens if you have a 4K TV and decide to stick with 1080p 60FPS with ray-tracing? Is the game gonna look worst because of the 4K TV?

I would love to play this game again with all the enhancements, but I'm not buying it again when my current copy already works in PS5. I hope Sony gives this upgrade for free for owners of the PS4 version.

My most anticipated game by far.

Concerned about the raise in prices for games? In Brazil, the new price is ~33% of minimum wage. They went from R$ 249.99 to R$ 349.99 - around 40% more expensive.

Yes! Finally! It gives me the vibes of the early Harry Potter titles that I loved so much. Hope this lives to its potential!

"If you miss the live event, don't worry — we'll have all the news up on the site as soon as possible."

No way I'll miss the event when they finally say the price and release date! =)

Graphics are not everything, but it's really bad that after so long, Prince of Persia is making a comeback as an early PS3 looking title. Hopefully the gameplay is as good as we remember.

After the Nintendo bomb yesterday about Super Mario 3D All-Stars being a limited-time digital purchase, I went with that game instead of any other. I'm waiting for the review anyway.

Gods & Monsters kinda felt like a classic game. It has a ring to it, like Dungeons & Dragons. Ubisoft dropped the ball with this new name, kinda awful.

Street Fighter V is a great game for those that haven't tried it yet.

I got the email and registered right away. Hey PushSquare, what about international players? I'm from Brazil, I still got the email in English, so not sure if it applies...

Looks really good! Btw, I fully expect Batman to show up at the end of the game, or hinted at for a comeback in the next Arkham title.

But didn't Fall Guys release recently? oO

I loved RE3 Remake to be honest. It's a great game. It has two issues that affect its sale IMO: its length and comparison to the original.

Well, if you didn't play the original or even if you did, it's a great game in its own right. As for length, that IS the major problem, people are gonna buy it way more when the price drops significantly. What I hear and read all the time is "Too expensive for X hours, I'll wait for a price drop" rather than "The game looks bad, I don't wanna buy it".

Btw, I got it at launch and played twice already, it's short length is kinda perfect to replay it if you enjoyed the game.

This game is making me want to get a new PS+ subscription. The more I see of it, the more I want to play it. Now this is the kind of multiplayer game I wanted!

Sony does realize that no matter how explicit they say it, people will watch the State of Play expecting PS5 news, right? At this point, ignoring that is a poor business decision, IMO.

But then, what do I know? ¯\__(ツ)__/¯

I want to pre-order it, but it depends on the price, which Sony is not willing to share for some weird reason.

I wish I knew the price by now, at least I could save for it.

I'm looking forward to check out the titles. It's my birthday in August and of course I'm gifting myself some new games. =)

Nothing quite like Ubi to kick-off next gen properly. They know how to build excellent trailers.

That would roughly translate to R$ 350.00 in Brazil, which is way too much for an entertainment product. The standard price here for a new game has been R$ 250.00 for a while, which is still too much, but I'm ok with it since I only purchase games with this price when they're must-haves from day 1.

My God, that's so sad and painful to read. This can't be tolerated at all! For those discussing why PlayStation would fight against hate speech, this is why!

I feel sorry for Naughty Dogs's employees, they're some of the best talents in the industry! I hope they can manage to ignore these awful comments.

Nice guide! I was not aware that this game was targetting a Destiny-like experience.

I have no idea if my PS4's disc drive works since I never used it. It's an easy choice for me. Glad to get a lower price too. =)

Could be similar to the original Donkey Kong Country games, where you could partner as different characters or play one at a time separately.

$50 difference in multiple exchange rates is actually a big deal.

Day one without a second thought.

I didn't renew my sub this year. Not enough value to justify it, I haven't played any of the games given monthly past year and I rarely play online. Not sure about what Sony could do to appeal to gamers like me.

I don't thin E3 is going to be the same again, but I also believe it can be an important event for gaming. As much as I appreciate Nintendo Direct-esque presentations, the time of announcing games years before release is gone for me, no patience to watch trailers for something that's barely an idea - in this sense, E3 is perfect because publishers can wait until closer to release and announce stuff at E3.

I do believe E3 needs to change, though. Digital presentations, maybe trying games by streaming or downloading demos during the period, with live comments from devs, I don't know. They need to change somehow.

Totally buying these.

After playing Spider-Man twice in a row aiming for 100% both times, I can barely wait for this one! Also, given our current social context, it's awesome to see a black protagonist in a AAA game.

@get2sammyb Any idea about the measures of the console? It looks quite tall in vertical position.

It grew on me as well. I gotta say that I love the colors, the controller and accessories though.

Speaking of accessories, what is the point of the remote?

@Spinachie Easy, try to spot a difference in a 32" TV wearing glasses for astigmatism. To be honest, even without astigmatism it's hard to spot any difference in a 32" TV. It all comes down to how big your TV is and how far you're from it.

One of the reasons I'd rather stick to 1080p TVs. It just feels like a huge waste of hardware and internet bandwidth to transfer 4K images around the web. Imagine using all those resources for something other than a new resolution that we can't even notice unless the TV is huge! Not to mention it would reduce the demand on Netflix/YouTube/Other servers...

Anyway, I'll definitely watch with my headphones, let's see what this new audio tech is all about.

Not in UK, but I've got Days Gone, RE7 and Ni No Kuni. I had to control myself to not buy Death Stranding and a few others I really wanna play.

I'm spending far more money than usual in games every month than I did before the quarantine, even with a backlog to play. Are you folks also spending more?

For games in general, any Super Mario game from World to Odyssey is a given. But back to PlayStation I'd have to say Uncharted series, Last of Us, Spider-Man, Tomb Raider series, Resident Evil series and Kingdom Hearts series are all games that I played countless times already. This generation is seriously one of the best ever, if not the best.

Soony PlayStation 5.

Terrible, terrible joke. What a year is 2020 being...

@TheArt Totally agree with you, the main problem with Ubisoft and open-world games in general is how hard it is to identify where you are because it all feels too similar sometimes.

Well, if you think about it, Sony's business is mostly behind the scenes in the remaining sectors, that's why we don't think about it. Their electronics are embedded in non-Sony devices for example, such as their cameras.

5/15, this was a tough one!
