I'll be interested to see what you guys think, but realistically speaking I can't see myself picking this up with the monetization they have in place. Thought the beta was...OK. Not as bad as I thought but not as good as I hoped. One of those games I'd maybe pick up on PS5 after a price drop.

It'll be interesting to see the difference between upscaled/temporal injection and true 4k for sure. Normally I'm not a big fan of 60fps but with Ratchet and Clank I can imagine it being a nice option to have.

I thought it was pretty poor to be honest. A couple of games I'm interested in but it was such a chore to get through and there was nothing exciting going on at all. If this is the "highlight" of the summer then bring back E3.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting this when I pick up a PS5. Bizarre but oddly compelling. I'm in.

I'll download Street Fighter V I guess, but can see why people are a bit disappointed with this one. Honestly thought both of these were free to play these days. Oh well.

Like others I never encountered a single bug, but these are brilliant. Joel swimming through the air probably my favourite 😂

Well that looks rather lovely, doesn't it? Looks like a very likely purchase for me.

If it's true then that's pretty damn competitive, all things considered. Having a quality, headline game like Miles Morales available for £30 would be amazing value for a "first PS5 game" to go along with the Astro Bot freebie. If you went all digital you could get the new console (including controller) and 2 games for under £400. Not bad.

But - we'll see if it's true.

Great stuff, looking forward to it!

Gameplay looks miles ahead of the Avengers, which is a shame as I'm much more of a Marvel fan generally. Wouldn't normally have much interest in this but have to admit the trailer was great.

@get2sammyb Was going to say the same thing, whoever's doing that deserves a raise! Imagine having this campaign on your CV, you could work wherever you want for sure.

19/20, but had a LOT of lucky guesses 😂

Alongside Demon's Souls as my most anticipated PS5 release right now. Very excited to see it in motion eventually!

Fantastic game, although I was absolutely terrible at it. Can't wait for RE8 / Village so I can attempt (fail) to complete that one as well 😂

I really hope that some proper effort has been put into the remaster, but sadly I expect it’s going to be a fairly lazy cash in - and if it is, I’m not sure whether I’ll get it or not. Either way, hopefully we’ll hear something soon.

As I said in the other article it felt like a very mixed bag for me. Some good stuff but a lot of very boring things too. Just seemed a bit of a weird livestream, as it kinda dulled the hype from the last PS5 blowout. Hopefully we'll have something else new soon to liven things up a bit. The format definitely works in general but this one fell flat a bit.

Fantastic idea, was really impressed by this. I was already interested in Crash but this has made it a must-buy in my books, it looks great and would definitely make me more likely to replay the game.

Very hit and miss. Crash looks great, the Alan Wake stuff was a great surprise, but most of it was boring as heck. Godfall continues to look terrible and that auto chess thing was the worst trailer I’ve seen in a long time, looked like it was cobbled together in 5 minutes.

Really liked the look of Aeon Must Die but it looks like all the devs have quit recently due to crunch and various disputes so looks like I won’t be supporting that either.

A real mix, really don’t see why they bothered with this stream.

They look great for sure. Tempted to get the headset in paticular, maybe the remote eventually.

It is a bit worrying, and the tweet from the accessability consultant doesn't help either, but hopefully Sony will put measures in place to improve the options for disabled gamers. You'd hope it would be apriority, given the measures that ND put in place to make TLoU2 as accessible as possible. Maybe it's something that can be done on a software level for example, to disable the trigger tension feature etc?

It would be great to see something like that special controller Xbox came out with a while back.

Definitely a mix of the last few options for me. First and foremost I'd like to see the UI and "extra" features that go alongside the games themselves. Then I'd like to know about backwards compatibility and PSVR2.

I feel like I know what to expect from price and date really, and to be honest I'm unlikely to pick up day one so it's less of a concern.

Very impressive numbers. The amount of PS Plus subs and the 74% digital figures alone must be such a crucial part of that. Sony have absolutely owned this generation, amazing to think how different it's been to the PS3 era.

Well, on one hand I'm glad we know what to expect, but like Sammy said, it's all a bit bizarre, isn't it? Don't really see why they'd need a State of Play for any current gen stuff. Oh well, I'll check it out anyway, I suppose we might get some DLC announcements for the recent bigger titles, maybe?

@Constable_What @roe @Akurusu

Thanks for the answers folks!

Love the look of this game and I really hope it turns out well. Life is Strange vibes with colourful anime dinosaur characters? Sure, why not! As always with narrative games it'll all rest on how good the story is, but I loved GNOG so feeling optimistic about what these devs can achieve. Right up there as one of my most anticipated PS5 games, personally. Caught me by surprise in the event and I can't wait to see more.

Had my eye on Cuphead for a while, love the animation and music. Curious to hear if it has multiple difficulty modes?

It's a tiny sample size so impossible to really tell from this whether the pattern will be repeated on a larger scale.

Sony clearly has the advantage in terms of brand loyalty, and its lineup so far is looking much stronger - for my tastes at least. So whatever happens, I'm positive that I'll be picking up a PS5 eventually. As some others have said, it could be argued that the biggest obstacle is getting people to leave their PS4s behind. Hardcore gamers will quickly pick up the new console but that's only part of the story. Not everyone gets the latest console, just like not everyone gets the latest high end smartphones.

Microsoft currently have the stronger subscription service and it remains to be seen how Sony respond as a competitor and how the momentum of Game Pass continues following the XSX launch. ProjectXCloud integration could also be a game changer if they get that right.

If I'm putting my tin foil hat on and really speculating, my feeling is that hardware-wise PlayStation will comfortably "win" once again but that Microsoft's subscription services will also grow exponentially. The question is whether that drives hardware sales or whether it starts moving Xbox from a platform brand to a service brand.

Definitely interested in checking it out one day, but TBH I don't think I'd pay for it, so hoping it turns up on Netflix or something eventually.

I'd definitely consider getting one at launch, but I'm more likely to wait until Demon's Souls is out. I waited about a year for PS4 I think and can imagine doing that again.

I'm happy with the game reveals so far and don't feel as much like I really need to see extended demos. It'd be nice, but I've seen enough to be interested already. More games are always good though.

What I really want to know is what it's going to be like to be a PS5 owner. I want to know more about the controller (that video from Geoff Keighley was dire - need something more pro than that), and the UI, any new features and perks, sharing stuff, changes to PS Plus/PS Now/PSVR, extra entertainment options etc - all that cool extra stuff. The ecosystem, walled-garden, whatever you want to call it.

I'd still really love to pick up a PSVR kit sometime, but seems like it would make more sense to just wait for the PS5 version at this point.

I thought MS had a good stream. A few titles I really liked the look of, and Fable alone is enough to get me interested in Series X. But Sony is still in the lead for my personal tastes. It'll be interesting to see if the rumoured August event turns out to be true!

Very retro as expected in terms of gameplay, but it looks great!

Last of Us 2 all the way, along with Ghost of Tsushima and FF7R. Honorable mentions to Streets of Rage 4, Kentucky Route Zero and Persona 5 Royal!

Yes, but it would have to be a reduced price and/or include PS Now or more games in general. Basically, it would have to be as good as Xbox Game Pass, which it really isn't at the moment.

@Pako_rubio714 Well, Forza, Ori and Hellblade 2 and Cuphead are all quality games you won't find on PlayStation. It's not enough for me to pick one up either, but dismissing the Xbox lineup as just Halo and Gears is doing it a bit of a disservice, too.

GamePass is one of the strongest offerings Microsoft has. It's incredible value. It's one of the ways that MS is ahead of the competition IMO and I'd love to see Sony take a similar approach.

Honestly I'd prefer to run at 30fps for a game like this so I hope that's still an option.

Looking forward to this, hoping to find out more about the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, definitely the most exciting elements for me so far.

So glad to hear it holds up to their usual high standards. Says a lot that I’m genuinely pondering whether to get this or Tsushima next.

I love everything Amanita do and I'm sure this will be no different, can't wait to try it.

It was...fine? I guess. All looked good, but nothing that gets me all that excited if I'm honest.

It looks so, so good. Looking forward to grabbing it when I've finished TLoU2.

All this talk makes the prospect of the July livestream even more intriguing. Will there be exclusives or will it all be cross platform? I want Xbox to succeed but stuff like this just seems to be digging them into a hole, more often than not.

@Severian Exactly. I’ve got basically the same style of guitar from a different builder, cheaper and just as good for what I want, but damn I love Taylor’s and would gladly buy a 314 if I could afford it!

@Menchi Not to be contrarian, but it's not insulting. It's very much standard for Taylor and as far as I can tell seems to be in line with the price of a regular 314, making this limited edition version actualy very fairly priced, in the context of their product lineup.

Guitars are incredibly subjective and if you love Taylor, then only a Taylor will do and nothing else will quite feel and sound the same. And whatever price point you're looking at, there's always something that's arguably (or definitely) better for less. It's all about what the player wants and resonates with. Some people buy a custom guitar for $1800 off a little known fella in some small town, and others spend $10k+ ont he most ridiculously opulent, specced out custom from their favourite mass market manufacturer. Both have their merits and dismissing one or the other is massively oversimpifying the whole process.

I've been on factory tours for a few manufacturers of Taylor's standard and their facilities, tools and R&D departments are astounding. Truly astounding. It's easy to assume one fella carving things out of trees is doing a better job than a team of hundreds just because it's more grassroots, but it's a very different approach that is only better or worse in the eye of the beholder.

Demon's Souls, Horizon and Ghostwire Tokyo, with Miles Morales juuuuust missing out on that top 3 spot.

This is obviously early footage that should never have been made public, but it looks ropey as heck right now. Haven't played an AC game since Black Flag but this looks almost cartoon-like in comparison, in terms of the fighting mechanics at least. COmpletely weightless and robotic. To think there were comparisons being made between this and God of War...

This sounds very cool indeed. Had my doubts when it was announced but looks like it's worked out nicely!

I'll probably go physical just so that I don't have to re-buy my disc-based PS4 games. That way I can sell my PS4 and 4k blu ray player to take a bit off the PS5 cost. But I'd definitely be open to digital-only and will probably think about it if the price is right. If I'm buying a game day one I tend to get physical but other than that it's all digital and the majority of my PS4 library is definitely bought that way. Either way, probably won't be buying one until Demon's Souls is out at the very earliest.
