Remember when Bluepoint Games explicitly said they are an "independent" studio after rumors went strong of being bought by Sony but still insisted they aren't? Yet here we are, I have no doubts Kojima Productions is in the same position but still can't announce it yet due to contracts and whatnot. I bet it was the same mistake when there was a leaked image when Bluepoint was included in the Playstation Studios list.

My idea of having a new Playstation Handheld will be, it's going to be an all-digital device which plays the same games in both PS4/PS5 with at least a 1280x720p resolution with 60fps capabilities in OLED Display. With this in mind if it plays both PS4/PS5 it's not going to be a Vita all over again since the amount of supported games will be enourmous.

Biggest deal breaker for me: if I have to spend a whole 6 months worth of Game Pass or a mere single $70 game from PS but ofc it always depends on games but my point is it doesn't going to hurt me if I try out some games I didn't want to spend in the first place but since it's on Game Pass already why not just try it? I could still get a discount if I wanted to own it. I could spend an entire 6 months of subs just to play all the Yakuza games or even Kingdom Hearts which I've always wanted to play with.

I would personally appreciate if games will have an option of 4K/30, 1440/60 or 1080/120. PS5 doesn't support 1440p yet and would've been a sweet spot for 120fps in some games.

Adding Wishlist and Sorting or Filter would be great.

If Sega ends up in Microsoft, Sony should acquire at least Konami from Japan or even Bandai Namco.

@IonMagus that's great to hear and to avoid any further confusions

What did I told you guys? I said read carefully the full initial statements from Ubisoft and yet people here were criticising me here like I'm an Xbot or something. Lmao

@IonMagus they also used the word "4K and 60fps" from FFXV on PS4 Pro and we all knew how it turned out. Like I said, read carefully the full statements from Ubisoft games such as Watchdogs Legion, AC Valhalla, Immortals Fenix Rising, Riders Republic, etc. and you'll notice how intentional it is not just being used from a single of these titles.

This page has changed the initial statement from Ubisoft from PS5 which runs at "4K and 60fps" and Xbox Series X at "4K at 60fps". There's a difference between two consoles where PS5 will have separate modes unlike for Xbox Series X. I recommend y'all guys to read to the original statements from Ubisoft to avoid any confusions.

So glad with this decision, it would've been DOA for a $70 and it's a smart move for Sony. Recently I noticed we're getting more and more free multiplayer games from Ghost of Tsushima Legends, The Last of Us Part II Multiplayer and Destruction All Stars.

Honestly, this game deserves a Remaster treatment not just for both resolution up to 4K and 60fps framerates but also the frame pacing issues, anti-aliasing, better textures, etc.

At this point I wouldn't even hope at least from PlayStation Studios that has free upgrades from PS4 to PS5 enhancements. It would be funny if they'll announce both The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima Remasters that we have to pay again. Sony has great games but has garbage messaging meanwhile Microsoft still has to prove their games but will pay off in the long run especially how Game Pass is even growing and its value. Oh I forgot to mention how Sony charges us to pay $70 for upcoming games.

After all the hype went through with Gamescom Event, I wouldn't get excited anymore coming from Geoff. His recent event was a pure lackluster that he managed to keep showing the gameplay of Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart during the last minutes of the show was the only legitimate highlight they showed so far.

If Bloodborne doesn't have at least a free upgrade which means it's pretty disappointing, don't want to play unoptimised 1080/30 experience.

This is pretty much an expectation from now on which PS4 at least for first-party won't have free upgrades for PS5.

@JohnKarnes Xbox One X still has an anemic Jaguar CPUs and horrendous HDDs for next-gen, also the reason why it can't easily hit 60fps even if the GPU is capable because of the Jaguar CPU. Xbox Series S even if it has 4TF of GPU but is based on RDNA2 which will be equivalent of over 6TF of Xbox One X has which is an older architecture.

@hulkie WTH are you talking about? Series S will be or more powerful than Xbox One X in every way. It has 8 cores / 16 threads Zen 2 CPU, 10GB GDDR6 RAM, 512GB of NVMe SSD and a 4TF of RDNA2 GPU thereotically equivalent of over 6TF of Xbox One X has. The CPU alone is a substantial leap over an anemic Jaguar CPUs of current gen has same applies to storage of NVMe SSD over HDDs, Xbox Series S is targeting for more casual audiences which buys a new console whichever has a cheaper version, but hardcore gamers and fans of Xbox will always favor the Series X.

I do have a question, will the PS5 support TVs that is lower than a 4K? What about 1080/144 or 1440/144 display monitors?

@4kgk2 I would say we'll have a proper PS5 centric event this coming August 20th. I really hope we don't have to wait until September to know all the details such as price, launch date and launch titles from both Sony and Microsoft.

Looks like everyone who buys this game will pick up for a free Spiderman for PS4.

Luminous Productions might be pushing their Luminous Engine, it's the same engine which showcased Agni's Philosophy and Final Fantasy XV. I hope Square Enix made an improvement of this engine about moving forwards. Also with the help of a decent hardware specs of a PS5, Project Athia could turn out a visually stunning game.

I've been waiting for their teardown video of a PS5. Since the production has been going around already since last month, we might as well get to finally see it.

I really hope Sony won't let us charge again with "remaster" treatment to benefit both 4K/60 at least especially from PlayStation Studio games. It's odd if we want to play Ghost of Tsushima in 4K/60 in PS5 without a "free upgrade" even if we have the PS4 version already. Microsoft is already doing this via Smart Delivery, best example of it is Gears 5 running in 4K/60 via free update without having to pay again to benefit those features.

If Microsoft announces a free multiplayer during next-gen it'll be a win for Microsoft since Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $15 a month has both Xbox Gold + Game Pass being merged, Microsoft could grab a huge market share again from Sony.

I hope they will continue on buying more studios. Insomniac proved how valuable they're in this upcoming generation. Sony should acquire Bluepoint, Kojima Productions, Ready at Dawn and Gen Design at some point in the future.

Has to be lower than $499 and if it ends being a $599 or above this isn't going to sell very well. I remember when Jim Ryan previously stated that they want PS4 owners to transition over PS5 as much as possible and Mark Cerny said before the price of PS5 will be "appealing to masses" and I do think $500 above doesn't speak to any of those. Sony knows we are still dealing with this pandemic and shifting our economic into unpredictive and I do think they wanted to sell the PS5 and push the number initial sales as much as possible.

I'm expecting for $399 for Digital Only and $449 for Standard Edition. They can't compete with $499 price point against Xbox Series X also with their Xbox Game Pass.

Still waiting for their teardown video, I have to see the cooling solution of this oddly shaped console.

@Trajan like how exactly? we still haven't seen the console and exclusive launch games yet.

This tells us to expect to show more sports games such as NBA, Madden, MLB the Show, Gran Turismo, etc. Either way it's great Sony is starting to promote PS5 real hard starting this month all the way to launch.

Technically yes, the strongest points of PS5 architecture are both I/O Complex and SSD's 12-channel priorities and overall speed against Xbox Series X which has a better GPU overall and that's it. Mark Cerny developed the PS5 for developers to make it easier making games and more efficient/faster workflow of developments.

Announcing Silent Hill reboot exclusive could potential make the viewers go wild.

At this point it'll be starting with $500, it has to be at least $400-$450.

As much as I'm very excited of Demon's Souls Remake, but hearing the rumors of Silent Hill reboot exclusive might be a huge possibility.

Sony must come up with a badge or seal which tells the consumers of PS4 titles that will support the benefits of a native PS5 which means not only the resolution up to 4K but also the framerate altogether as well up to 60fps.

This is surprising there's no way we're getting two State of Play in a single month but on the other hand this clearly indicates a PS5 reveal event in June. There's no way Sony will show the box in July, we're closing in for a less than six months during launch.

Can't they just make it smaller but denser? Why is it so necessary to make it so huge that there's nothing in it? Take Cyberpunk 2077 for example, we can tell it wouldn't be as huge open world vs The Witcher III but it's far more denser with more NPCs doing their own thing which makes the world so alive.

This is great news for everybody which also means more JRPGs from Sega in the future especially during the start of next-gen consoles.

I do think Ready at Dawn Studios might be showing their upcoming PS5 exclusive game, the question is will be a sequel of The Order: 1886 or a brand new IP, personally either a sequel or a new IP will do.

PSVR needs to price drop as well to push sales further. I don't think there'll be a PSVR2 anytime soon maybe 2 years or so after PS5 launches.

Samurai/Cinema Mode next playthrough/Jap VA

Future State of Play livestreams might get two segments, the first one is an announcement or follow-ups to some games just like how Nintendo Direct works, the second might be a special State of Play which features an in-depth deep dive to a single game which explains its contents. A PS5 special State of Play could really work with type of format to show the box, explain the UI, user experience demo, etc.

I hope for Playstation Studios to invest more genres such as RPGs, Platformer, Fighting, Shooter, etc. Not just with Cinematic/Narrative/Adventure games which adds more variety that has quality invested of these first-party studios.

After this, we can finally expect the marketing of PS5 onwards. I hope they'll show us the box during this late of May.

It's pretty hard to convince other people of what to expect about what's in next-gen, when it comes to graphics we've already somehow achieved it but with the help of a better CPU of both consoles AI is going to be improved a lot, more animations can be done, etc. Meanwhile in GPUs we can already expect next-gen titles to achieve 4K/60 or 1080/120 for some games or competitive most likely but still depends on the vision of each developers. Raytracing will be the most common feature will be implemented on some games for better lighting, reflections and global illumination. Also, the loading times are going to be the most convincing and could even eliminate loading screens especially on PS5's SSD.

Bandai Namco has a strong lineup such as Elden Ring, Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus.

This might be the strongest start to push the industry to go Digital. Even Geoff Keighley is pushing his own Summer Game Fest to convince the industry that Digital events is the best possible way to go moving onwards.

An announcement of Bloodborne II alone is enough to kill the entire lineup of what Xbox Series X will have.

People think Sony still has big games to launch this year, well this isn't about the current gen it's what next-gen consoles can do. Microsoft has been so transparent on what to expect about Xbox Series X and its future and about to showcase their console with next-gen games running in this console, Sony on the other is stuck with their old formula to show the controller first and then the box itself which makes me think it isn't that exciting anymore of this year unlike how it was during 2013. So in my honest opinion, Sony needs to show or reveal something of this whole Month there's no point of keeping the box this late since everything has been changed since then.
