@AFCC It's a hard one to call - on the flip side, can they possibly afford not to publish the games on PS5? They just spent nearly the entire operating profit of PlayStation between 2013-2019 on ONE acquisition. Even with Microsoft's vast fortune, how long does an investment like this take to be profitable? Or do they just write it off for the sake of bragging rights and not really worry about if/when it makes its money back?

Not an easy answer and I'll be fascinated to see how they handle it.

Looks great, but surprised to see this one on PS4 as well. With Microsoft's offering hotting up by the minute it feels a bit like Sony need to start getting some wins PR-wise. Next few weeks will be interesting!

Absolutely incredible power play by Microsoft. Wow oh wow. Never would have expected that, what a win for them. Can't remember an announcement this major in recent memory.

Personally, it doesn't affect my next gen plans, because I'm not a fan of Bethesda's games in the slightest, but it's impossible not to recognize that thisis absolutely seismic. Incredible.

I still go back to NMS every time there's an update and easily get another 20-30 hours out of it minimum. Absolute gem of a game that I've really enojyed from day one. Only regret is that I haven't got a PSVR to try it out that way, so I'm hoping we can do so with whatever VR solution comes to PS5 via backwards compatibility or a next gen patch.

Beginning to think we should start a Push Square drinking game for every time we see "Japanese giant" in an article 😂

Apart from the 105 Spider Man ultimate edition, those sizes don't seem thaaat bad to me? Demon's Souls fat 60GB is less than I would have expected. And even then, with Spider-Man that's basically two games and fairly chunky DLC for the first one. I assume you don't have to have both of them installed at the same time, either.

Glad to see Sony trying to make amends, hopefully the next wave of pre-orders goes a lot more smoothly. I haven't decided yet if I'll pick one up at launch or not, we'll have to see.

I would genuinely prefer "substantially" rather than "slightly". Don't get me wrong the Witcher's great but just waaay too long for the time I'm able to invest these days. So yeah, I'm one of those that ever finished it. Keep meaning to go back, but just looks more and more unlikely as time goes on!

Personally I really like it, much more interesting than the PS4 design that’s for sure. Really like the Xbox Series S too, mind. Series X is fine but a little boring.

@OutspokenGamer Your previous comment suggests otherwise.

@OutspokenGamer Yikes, toxic much? The dude doesn't owe you anything.

I'd love an upgrade option for this, but if I have to I'll gladly buy it all over again. Absolutely loved Spider-Man on PS4 and would definitely re-play it from scratch if needs be.

It would have been cool, but not too bothered in all honesty. I've still got my PS3 and have no real reason to get rid of it, so if I get desperate for some retro games I'll just fire that up. I'm sure we'll see PS Now grow during the PS5 generation as well, so there's lots of possibilities there.

Nah, original boxart looked better. Haven't played it yet though so definitely interested in picking up the PS5 version eventually.

Not fussed about pre-ordering - not the right time for me right now, so I'll probably pick one up next year at some point. It's definitely the console for me though and it's jus a question of when, not if.

Demons Souls and Miles Morales looking every bit as fantastic as I hoped! God of War in 2021 is earlier than expected too! Oh and love the look of FFXVI, can tell it’s the team from XIV and that fills me with a lot of confidence. Price and release was pretty much as expected so happy with that too. Hype!

All depends on whether Sony is going to keep this presentation launch-focused or not. If not, then a big megaton "one more thing" announcement isn't beyond the realms of possibility, I think. It would certainly be very brief and be little more than a mood setter/title reveal, but still possible.

I think they've misunderstood the general concept of a demo, there. I'm not the biggest Crash fan so something like this would have been a great way for me to see what I've been missing.

@TheFrenchiestFry I'd love MvC4 as well but realistically, I don't think that's ever going to happen. Infinite was an unmitigated disaster and I wouldn't expect that Capcom would want to get their fingers burnt again with that franchise.

Personally, I'm expecting this to be a fairly simple affair. Expanded looks at a few key titles will be the main thing, a handful of announcements for further down the line, and the all-important price and release date.

Been waiting so long for this, really glad it's been worth the wait! Planning to pick it up as soon as I possibly can.

Mania 2 is all I want from Sonic. Fingers crossed.

I worry that there's going to be a LOT of disappointed people at this rate, if I'm honest. Like, Nintendo Direct levels of disappointment. Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see all these finer details being discussed all that much.

I'm expecting new footage of launch titles and some new reveals. Anything on top of that is a bonus but I have a feeling we might have a second presentation in a week or so with more hardware-specific talk.

As much as I'm looking forward to this, I'm going to have a good chuckle if they don't reveal the price and release date after all 😂

@kiki3400 Ah yes that would have been a very different experience then! I toyed with the idea of buying the Royal Edition but since it had been so long since I played the original it just felt like too little, too late, too expensive. But hey, I'm still a Final Fantasy fan through and through so I'll be excited for XVI whenever it appears, I'm sure.

It's a much nicer trailer than before, but still looks a little generic for me, personally. I don't expect every game to break to mould but gameplay wise this seems very old school with not much interesting going on to balance that out. Like it could be a PS2/PS3 action game, just with a nicer sheen to it. We'll see though, open to having my mind changed when review time comes along.

@kiki3400 In parts XV was awesome, but once you got to that one milestone in the story it just started to fall apart, and the way they plugged the gaps with DLC really rubbed me up the wrong way personally. Really wanted to love it but as the end credits rolled I felt a bit empty. Definitely think your opinion is 100% valid though and I absolutely know other people that didn't find the issues as jarring as I did.

Didn't have a clue for most of them! Rarely buy consoles at launch though, to be fair.

I like the look of this but not 100% convinced yet. A lot rests on how good the story is for me, so I'll probably be waiting to see what the reviews are like first.

Been waiting to pick this up for a while, primarily because I wanted to see if a PS4 version came along. PS5 support would be even better, would love this in 4k.

@EVIL-C I think I saw Limited Run games post a Scott Pilgrim GIF after the announcement so I'd take that as a fairly big hint they'll be doing something.

My TV already has apps for these, but having them on the PS remote as well is pretty handy too, so no complaints here. Might well pick one up if the PS5 loads the apps more quickly and reliably than on the TV itself.

Downloaded at lunch and already blasted through the four GPs on normal mode - absolutely love it so far, like the review said the handling is spot on. The rubber banding is well judged too, enough to keep games close but not so much that it gets annoying. Had plenty of races where a crucial boost just got me over the line in time, it's so much fun.

Haven't tried any of the other modes yet but looking forward to trying them out later. I can see me completing the core content fairly quickly so it's great to see that they're coming out with more content already. Can't wait!

Well, this is wonderful. Would love this as an unlockable easter egg in the full version 😂

Scott Pilgrim is all I'm hoping for...fingers crossed!

The price point is an interesting one, Sony don't need to match the Xbox pricing IMO, but if they wanted to do I reckon they could afford the financial hit and deal MS a proper sucker punch. Very much doubt it'll happen though. Like Sammy says I expect all will be revealed within the next week otherabouts. Either way I'm getting a PS5 - it's got the games I want and that's all there is to it. But I fully expect to pick up an Xbox Series S/X at some point too, probably on one of those 2 year payment deals when I switch to a cheaper phone contract.

I think I got mine in November 98. Bought it mainly for Final Fantasy 7 at the time!

We'll find out all the PS5 stuff soon enough. Can't understand the people that would switch platform just because they can't pre-order yet. Bizarre. A little bit of patience and perspective goes a looooong way.

Hype! Easily my most anticipated next gen game. Can't wait. Itching to get some more info on PS5 after the massive Xbox drops today - c'mon Sony! Finally feels like next gen is appraching.

Sony should troll everyone right up to November 1st and then do a surprise launch. 😂

Yeah, I think I need this. Thanks for the review!

Don't think I could go any higher than £449 for the disc drive version. £349 for the digital version would be pretty damn tempting.

Fantastic announcement by Microsoft - it's a perfect solution for a "second console", kids, anyone on a tighter budget etc - which is a LOT of the market. I fully intend to make the PS5 my main next gen console but at this price I'd be very tempted to pick up a Series S for GamePass alone so I can play Fable, Forza and Hellblade at a cheaper price.

@Bingbongboyo Ha, typical! Ah well, every generation is eventually usurped by the one before I guess 😂

Still haven't won a single crown in this godforsaken game and I'm extremely bitter about it. Bah. Still keep playing though...

Gonna need to pick this up soon but money's quite tight so waiting for a sale. Hopefully soon!

I don't think it'll be delayed, but not going to stress myself out if it is.

Yeah, this is a big ol' "maybe on PS5" for me. Still some parts of the game I like the look of but the beta was a real mixed bag for me.

@Steve30000 that’s obviously not what I meant. I love games and can’t wait for the next generation. And sure, I’m surprised there’s not more info and wish we knew more. But getting outraged is utterly ridiculous. We know roughly when it’s coming out and roughly what it’s going to cost. People just need to chill and wait for the info. It’ll come eventually.

Don't get me wrong, I'm getting very impatient waiting for more info and I wish Sony would have shared more by now. But the hysterical way people on here and across the internet are going on...have some self-respect people and just chill. It's only a games console.

Very excited for MM, the original SM was one of my favourite PS4 games so the chance to play through more of that with a different character/moveset is an easy sell for me. Avengers I'm still a bit torn over - enjoyed bits fo the beta and was bored by other aspects so I'm going to hang back and see how it evolves over time, then maybe pick it up on PS5 when I get one.
