Perhaps I'm out of the loop here, but why is there an issue with Titanfall 2 being on there? Wasn't it supposed to be a great game, even if it's been on sale? Someone might still get some enjoyment out of the Motocross game...
In all honesty, I'm expecting to see it in a car pack for GT Sport sooner rather than later. Shouldn't take Polyphony's artists that long to render (just look at the thing). The game's lighting engine would perfectly show off the CyberTruck's... umm... lines as well.
@Fath ah, not where I live. I'm in Barbados, beautiful country but games are quite expensive here. That God of War in a sealed new package will cost anywhere from $120 - $150 (equivalent of $60 - $75 USD) and that's after more than a year on the market. I'd only get it on physical disc because I just prefer my games on something I can hold, experience the thrill of breaking open a new box and I can turn around and sell it when I'm done. I don't buy many games on disc in a year (only GT Sport so far this year) and God of War seems special to me so that's why I wanted it on disc.
Oh, and we don't really do proper 'Black Friday' sales here, may get 15-20 bucks off the local price of the game and that's it.
Them's fightin' words. I love it! Let them keep each other on their toes and the consumer wins. Truth be told, I'm fully expecting the PS5 and Xbox Next to be virtually identical in power and general specification.
@ShogunRok Thanks, that would be great if you could. I have been enjoying the peripheral hardware reviews on this site. I'm sure others have been as well. It would be good to see some of Sony's own hardware get some shine.
@Nyne11Tyme Ahem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-vkzWJACIk That, my friend, screamed 'The Best Place To Play' quite a while before PlayStation was a twinkle in Sony's eye.
@OmegaStriver Yeah I know. I'm just kidding. Even though I really haven't played UC4 yet, I've known about the kid for a long time now, but I don't really mind about it. I will get around to playing it someday, maybe on PS5. More important things take priority, such is life 👍🏽
@Ridwaano According to reviews, it's supposed to be one of the best, if not the best Pro controllers for PS4 and a quality piece of kit. The downside is the price; at $200 that's kind of a hard ask for me when it costs almost as much as the console itself. Could be worth it if you're really into the modular functionality, and if it's compatible with the PS5 when it comes out.
@get2sammyb Isn't it true that game devs make higher-fidelity assets and then scale to the specific needs of each platform? I'd imagine if this is the case, Sucker Punch would already have the baseline assets ready for the PS5 and should be not much of an issue adapting the code to PS5 hardware since it's technically similar to that of PS4.
@get2sammyb That is interesting. I am interested in the game but won't be getting a PS5 until at least a year after launch. let's see how Sony rolls this one out as the generation draws to a close.
@KALofKRYPTON @RogerRoger Absolutely agree with you guys. This game simply shouldn't be allowed to be sold in this state on any game system. It would be interesting to see how it's being handled on the Xbox side.
Nice to see some devs coming out here and confirming support for the venerable PS4 beyond 2020. Even though PS5 would have launched by then, it would be unwise to ignore what could likely to be a 110m+ install base.
I'd prefer a new Ratchet & Clank game... on PS4* The system has a massive install base and still has at least a couple of years left in it before it's put out to pasture. Surely it deserves a second helping of R&C before it rides off into the sunset? *or a cross-gen release on PS4 and PS5
So does that mean that those who buy digital will have a less buggy experience than the sure-to-be-buggier buggy physical release? I'd hoped that since Obsidian is now Microsoft-owned that they would have more resources to do more thorough bug squashing and largely avoid such large day-one patches.
I wonder if Sony will be promoting it over their own Platinum headset... I don't see why not, since they push licensed 3rd party controllers that are better than the DualShock 4.
I hope the next info dump they have sheds some light on how the system will be cooled. At this rate, I'm expecting it to come with a built-in air conditioning compressor.
I'm good knowing it is targeting PS4 with those graphics. Truly a testament that you get the most out of a system near the end of the generation. Of course, if it looks this good on PS4, imagine what the PS5 enhancements will look like.
I actually feel pretty good about this if GT Sport officially has an upgraded version for the PS5. I imagine Sony will want to keep the FIA tournaments going on the new hardware while working on the real GT7. Technically it means we should have at least 2 GT titles on PS5 instead of the 1 this generation.
Am I buying one Day One, you ask, PushSquare? Nah. Even though the launch of a new console is pretty much always exciting, I prefer to wait at least a year or two into the life cycle to get one. My PS4 will serve me well for the next few years. All the early production bugs of the new hardware should be worked out by then.
Hmmm, I guess this also confirms, in a way, that the 8K output that they were talking about earlier will be 8K upscaling and not 8K native content. 100GB discs wouldn't be nearly enough for that. Also, how sly of Sony to put this out after last week's somewhat concerning news that Shawn Layden is leaving the company... By confirming the true name of the next console over a year out from release makes it 'feel' more real than Project Scarlett in my eyes, but to each his or her own. I expect Microsoft will be putting out some news of their own any day now in order to get some of the spotlight.
Oof, I was actually hoping this would turn out well, especially after reading the developer interview. If the frame rate is a mess on the Pro, I can only imagine it's a slideshow on the standard PS4, which I have
It surely is amazing what they can get out of 1.8/4.2 teraflops. That shot of Ellie (or is that Dina?) facing off against the infected is particularly chilling.
I think it was a competent State of Play. Maybe some people have just not accepted as yet that we are at that point in the console generation that not everything is going to be a banger third party announcement or first party tentpole. Those days for this generation are quickly shrinking in the mirror. That said, we should all remember that we've had arguably some of the best gaming experiences this generation, especially from the PlayStation camp, and look forward to what's coming next from all the platform holders.
