Not sure if I’m most baffled by the point that Sony went from designing the excellent looking PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 to this, or by the point that some seem to like it.
I still think it looks awful, and hope at they’ll release a version with a different color scheme (navy blue, gray or black instead of white could somewhat save it). It’ll be the ugliest thing in my tv section. I’m glad it at least can be put horizontally.
They should’ve cut about 20 minutes of footage here. Also, I’ll never be blown away by «footage of cut scenes captured on console». The games that got me hyped the most were those that showed actual gameplay, like Ratchet & Clank. I still find it baffling that they didn’t find a way to show us these games in 4K and 60 fps - that would’ve made it much more impressive.
(Also, that console is the worst looking Sony has designed so far, wtf.)
It would probably look okay if it was all black, as it is it just looks like Astro Bot or Gizmoduck. While all those different shapes and forms looks great on paper, keeping this thing clean will be hell. Hope they’ll release a simpler design.
Will finally buy What Remains of Edith Finch (65% off).
Would’ve bought Stranded Deep as well, if it wasn’t released in such a sorry state - seems like a very fun premise, but not fond of developers selling games that clearly wasn’t ready for release.
I’m really disappointed by this. Here’s the long awaited showcase of the PS5, and what we get is a promise that it will look better in real life, promise.
Not that I mind at all, but this just seems strange to me. There’s always something bad happening in the world - covid-19, for instance, will keep claiming lives all over the world throughout most of 2020. When is the right time for a celebration, then?
@ShogunRok @nessisonett Yeah, don’t get me wrong, this is a new low, but if it was going to happen to one publisher, my first suspect would’ve been 2K.
@Nintyfan Agree. I’d probably pay more for a «PS4 Version» of a game, if I knew I could pay DLC-price for the rest of the console generation, getting new wrestlers, updates etc. As it is today, I’ll buy one wrestling/football game every five-six years, and only once it’s heavily discounted.
2K Games have released games in this state for years, and people keep on buying their games, so I don’t see them changing anything. I stopped buying their games new after the disaster that was Civilization V.
Just picked up WWE 2K19 again, and are planning to finish My Career, some of the Towers as well as giving Showcase a try. I played it for a week or so around February, but moved on to other things, and are back to fill my wrestling game needs. (First wrestling game since the Gamecube.)
@vhsodre Well, except for the fact that they have someone above them who can tell then what they should do. While Sony’s track record clearly is better than most, many great independant development studios have become worse after getting new ownership (Rare, BioWare, Dice etc.).
It’s hard to tell whether this actually is a good game, or if it’s a rip of one game with the art style of another game put on top. I’ll await reviews.

Ah, finally world peace!

Re: Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Is a Story Expansion Coming Later This Month
RoboCop looks badass.
Re: Live: Watch Assassin's Creed Valhalla's First Trailer
Nice looking movie. Hope it’ll tie in with an actual video game.
Re: Classic Grand Theft Auto Games Rated for Release on, Er, PS3
@YeoSprings Hope you’re right, but I have no hope in Sony pulling something like that off. It’ll be 10-15 PS2 games, 10-15 PS1 games and that’s it.
Re: WWE Confirms That WWE 2K21 Has Been Cancelled
Is it too late to cancel WWE 2K20 as well?
Re: PS Vita Support Shows No Signs of Slowing in 2020
I’ve been looking for a Vita in stores for about four years now. Guess I’ll have to buy a second-hand one.
Re: Survive a Hostile, Tropical Island in Stranded Deep, Out Tomorrow on PS4
Awesome premise (though it seems more like Robinson Crusoe or Cast Away than Lost). Looking forward to the reviews!
Re: PS5 Controller Revealed, Named DualSense with Create Button and Built-in Microphone
It sounds much better than it looks. I’m glad they moved the light bar to the sides, as it hopefully won’t refleckt back of the TV like on the PS4.
Re: Soapbox: All I Want the PS5 to Do Is Track My Play Time Across Games
It’s annoying that the PS4 (and Switch) doesn’t have this information available.
Re: PS5's 3D Audio Could Quietly Be a Game Changer
I hear what you did there...
Re: Reaction: PS5 Deep Dive Was As Expected, But Was Shockingly Misjudged
Not quite what I expected, but I guess it did what (appearantly) was Sony’s intention.
They could’ve «saved» it by throwing in 2 minutes of game footage at the end, though.

Doubt this, but I am hoping that you will be able to buy and play digital games from all PS consoles.
Re: PS5 Logo Officially Revealed at Sony CES 2020 Press Conference
It’s refreshing in the sense that nobody else is consistent in matters like this. I’d almost expect them to call it PS V or some bulls*** like that.

Re: Civilization VI - The Best Strategy Game on PS4
If the graphics and load times are better than the Switch version, I’ll probably buy this again.
Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece
I was afraid that this game would fall flat on its absurdity, but glad that’s not the case. Looking forward to it!
Re: WWE 2K20 Developer Promises Patch After Disastrous Launch

Re: WWE 2K20 Developer Promises Patch After Disastrous Launch
@get2sammyb Two years ago, WWE 2K18 for the Switch.
Re: WWE 2K20 Developer Promises Patch After Disastrous Launch
This is how 2K operates and have done so for years: release first no matter state, fix later.
Re: PS5's Devkit Looks Like a Monster in Visualisation
@HenFjo Oh, no doubt about it, but it’s easier to give a quick wipe over on a simple/plain console.
Re: PS5's Devkit Looks Like a Monster in Visualisation
It looks cool, but I’m hopeful the retail version won’t look close to this. I’m having enough trouble keeping my consoles dust free as it is.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 294

(Not planning on picking up WWE 2K20.)

Isn’t GTA Liberty City / Vice City already on PS4?
Re: WWE 2K20 Looks Like an Absolute Disaster on PS4

Re: Civilization VI Builds Up a PS4 Release This November
If this runs smoothly on the PS4 Pro (and the controls are no issue), then I’ll definitely pick this up!
Re: Monster Hunter World: Iceborne - A Truly Monstrous Expansion that Destroys Expectations
@Arnna Without a doubt! They finally avoided releasing an «ultimate» version.

Re: Sony Buys Spider-Man PS4, Ratchet & Clank Developer Insomniac Games
Not sure if we, the gamers, will benefit from this or not, but great move by Sony, securing more exclusives.
