@AFCC In context, yes, it does look better than the in-game graphics. That's taking away nothing from the game at all, because it looks incredible. The great thing is that, come June 19, I can play what I've seen of the game graphics on my 'lowly' 1.82 TF PS4. I'll probably have to wait at least another console generation before I can play graphics that look as refined as that CG trailer.

@Octane As good as in-game and real-time cutscene graphics have gotten, pre-rendered CG will always look better. After all, they are produced on infinitely more powerful hardware than what $300 gets us now, or $500 will buy in November. I think the idea is to be representative of the product as a whole, rather than to showcase the gameplay graphics. I think Sony has done CG trailers for God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone, if I'm not mistaken.

That said, I hope the next-generation consoles can get us a step closer to the quality of the CG trailers.

@roe @ShogunRok I think that may be the PS5's startup sound. If so, it really reminds me of the PS1's iconic startup...

So... who's looking forward to seeing how this looks on XBSX and PS5?

While this is all very exciting that we're getting two back-to-back State of Plays about the most anticipated PS games of the year, I also get the sense Sony is doing this to clear the deck before the barrage of PS5 announcements that are coming 'soon'.
Roll on June.

@IanAlbarn Right now, 🤷🏾‍♂️

8/15 Pretty good considering I've never played a GTA game.

@Flurpsel It's psprices.com, @Schaede dropped that nugget earlier, thanks for the reply.

@Schaede thanks for this, I didn't know about this site, I'll check it out.

@ArmyofOne thanks, appreciate it!

@phil_j @ArmyofOne thanks for the heads up, I have a US PSN account but I'm based in the Caribbean. I check my wishlist every so often and it's always listed at $29.99. Not sure why I never have seen the price drop if there have been in the US PS Store.

For the love of God, please drop the price of the Sega Genesis Classics collection on the PS Store! That thing has been sat in my wishlist forever and I've never seen a price drop on it since launch.

Please and thanks 🙏🏽

I much prefer the isolated and ominous feel of this mockup cover. Do over, Sony! I know it's probably too late to change the printed cover graphics, but surely you can use this artwork for the digital version of the game?

Looks nice. I'd imagine this, and perhaps a Ghost of Tsushima version, will be the last special editions of the PS4. I wonder how come you see special editions of the Gold headset, but to my recollection there has never been a Platinum special edition.

Might as well call GTA V 'Betsy' and hang a bell around it's neck, because it sure keeps giving Rockstar a lot of milk.

6/10. I have brought shame upon my gaming house. I must atone, 20 self-inflicted lashes with the braided leather whip.

@Vyns I suspect outlets like Digital Foundry and NX Gamer will have you covered with analysis of the graphics soon enough.

Hmm, those misaligned seams where the black and white plastic meet on the grips looks uncomfortable. Hopefully the real thing will have tight tolerances and good build quality.

I'm one of those people that still has a base PS4 with 500GB.
Guess I won't be playing COD Modern Warfare anytime soon then.

I think it looks great. Definitely an upgrade over the 2017 PS4 trailer I just watched as well.

@Xiaolin
"It's real to me, dammit!!"

So... now the NSA will be listening in while I'm indulging in my gamer's diet of Cheetos and Mountain Dew? Got it.

Funny how this generation started with a bunch of remasters. Now it's ending with a another bunch of remasters. Gotta make that money before next generation makes remasters more or less irrelevant, I guess.

@GADG3Tx87 it could be down to a bad application/not enough thermal paste as applied at the time of manufacture on your friend's Pro. It may be worth it to open it up and repaste the APU with fresh, and better, thermal paste.

@SnowTiesAreCool You can see the textures on the ground drawing into greater detail as the camera moves forward and lessening in detail as it moves back. It's a great effort for sure, and I'd love to see how the PS5 will make this look even better.

Your (V-) bucks at work, people. I wish them the best and I'd love to see what they have coming next, especially from Playdead.

@jmac1686 I know right? In Barbados, we already have kinda crappy internet speeds, so if our local ISPs take these measures as well, we could well be back to near mid-2000s internet speeds. The local gaming community will kick up a fuss if this comes to pass.

@Shigurui can't say that I have.

@Shigurui wait... wha??!
Have you been a victim of Autocorrect?

I was always interested in it since the initial reveal, but after the most recent trailer, I am PUMPED for this game. Still, cooler heads will prevail, so I will wait on reviews to see if it's actually worth my hard earned cash.

@get2sammyb Look at the precedent set by this year's Geneva Motor Show. The on-site show was cancelled outright due to concerns from COVID-19 infections, and all the auto companies have revealed their new, refreshed or concept vehicles through livestreams and other online media.

I think at this point, unless there is a major breakthrough, E3 for this year will be cancelled. We've already been told that any kind of vaccine for the virus is months away. There are already cases which allude to it being spread other than by human-to-human contact. Video game companies will opt to reveal their wares through livestreams. There will be a drastic rise in online purchases of digital game content.

E3 is dead.

Congratulations Yumi, looking forward to seeing you grow Santa Monica Studio from strength to strength.

Best wishes and good luck in your new role, Shannon.

Perhaps they've been inspired to get it going due to the success of the Sonic movie (I know, right? Who'd have thunk it?)

@JohnnyShoulder that, kind Sir, is certainly debatable. I vote for Dead

And this is why this game is dead.

@Link41x I get you bro, was just trying to be funny. Gaming is gaming, regardless of platform. Hope you get through with them.

@Link41x
My Gollum self: Gets out of here, phone boy, we hates the phones games!
My Smeagol self: Welcome, friend!

"NO!!! I want my PS5 NOWWW!!! Wahhhhhh."
Calm your jets. People's lives are in danger. Spare a thought for them. You'll get your plastic box full of more plastic, wires, metal and silicon bits soon enough, Francis.

I think that's wonderful news!
What's that?
You were expecting and wanted a new Crash game to usher in the 9th generation consoles?
Don't you guys have phones?

@azoreseuropa I'm from Barbados. Beautiful country, but video gaming is an expensive pastime.

@LieutenantFatman Dunno where you living at mate, but if it's anything like Barbados you'll probably get a discount of maybe $50 on the price of the PS5 when you trade in your console and headset. Mind you, a new base PS4 costs $900 still, and the PSVR costs about $1100. I shudder to think what the PS5 will cost when it reaches these shores.

Whatever the price ends up being, it best not have the digits '599.99' or be mentioned with the phrase "work two jobs to buy one."

It's been a great run, PS4.
I think that once the PS5 launches, the PS4 could be repurposed as the more attainable console and could play host to more family friendly titles going forward until the end of its production run.

**OCD kicking in**
PLEASE use the real PS5 logo, that mockup one is being used more than the real one.

I'd definitely be interested if the PS5 has backward compatibility with all 4 previous PlayStation generations, but it's not a make or break for me. I'd like to replay some games I had on PS1 and PS2. I never had a PS3, so there are some games that were never remastered for PS4 that I'd like to try out. The main draw of PS5 for me is the anticipated leap in graphical fidelity over what we have now.

@carlos82 Exactly how I watched it. Puts me in the mood to play through Sonic Mania again this weekend though.

I recently saw Digital Foundry's preview of the ID Tech 7 technology powering Doom Eternal, and it looks great. That preview was running on PC hardware though, so hopefully they don't have to totally gimp the game to have it running at 60FPS once again on PS4.

They're really pushing the PS4 to its limits with this one I love the art style!

@Angelus3K Nah, not bothered at all. It's Sega's prerogative to cash in on that sweet, sweet movie tie-on cash.... I mean, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their most recognized mascot.
