I'm playing AC Syndicate, thus I HAVE TO play it on my PS4. I don't have a PS5, because we don't have PS5s in stock, only the double priced units sold by scalpers. But even if I did... how could I play that great AC game on it? I will buy an Xbox instead soon, despite being unsupported in my country. The PS5 can wait... and moreover, it has no games I am interested in at the moment.
Do people really use monitors to play games on consoles? What is the point in that? I thought that one of the biggest points of console gaming is sitting / lying on your comfortable couch two to three meters from the big screen.
Current tendency to simplify the colors, depth and shape of everything is a very controversial decision. They call it 'modern look', but that doesn't mean it's likeable for all people. I appreciate that they made the PS5 the way it looks (in contrary to the XSX, which looks very strict = "modern", but kinda boring), but the controller buttons and the PS logo should have had the iconic coloring.
And again we hear "in the future". M.2 slot will be enabled in the future, storing PS5 games on external HDD will be in the future. The more details we hear, the more PS5 seems like a very rushed, if not unfinished, product.
I hope that Sony scrapped PSVR. This alpha-version technology must die the same as 3D movies died. True VR tech will not be ready for at least another 10 years.
I bought a PS2 slim in 2010, if I recall correctly... I had already had an X360 by that time. But there were no Fatal Frame and Forbidden Siren on the Xbox. That PS2 slim is connected to my TV and hopefully it will work at least a few years more. Recently I bought a PS2-to-HDMI adapter just in case my next TV wouldn't have any analog component inputs.
Most likely we here in Ukraine will not face any PS5's stock unavailability because there are very few people who can actually afford such a pricey toy. I can afford one, but I am nowhere in a hurry. Will most likely buy the console after the Holiday season ends.
I have been using Plex every day for at least two years. I have several terabytes full of 1080p movies lying on my NAS. I don’t know how it would be possible to organize all that without Plex. It’s THE best tool to stream content on your local home network. I’m happy it will be on PS5 at launch 😉
Console launch during pandemic is not an excuse for lack of communication and lack of information about what exactly they are launching.
Speaking about wishlists, the wishlist on the web PS Store has always been "just for the record". For instance, when you buy a game which is present on your wishlist, it does not get removed from the wishlist. Such feature has been present on Steam right from the start.
So sad. Sony is forcing us to download pirated PS1...PS3 images and play them using emulators on PC. And I still have my modded PS2 slim working, so I will continue to download pirated images, burn them on DVD+R media and play them on the console!
@SilkySmile89 Some of Blu-ray players can read CDs, at least audio. My LG Blu-ray player plays any Audio CD flawlessly, that's how I play my CD collection via an AV receiver using an HDMI connection.
I got the Alpine Green and it is my favorite one. I would also choose Sunset Orange, Berry Blue, 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, 500 Million Limited Edition and Crystal Blue - are some of these still being manufactured and sold today?
Backwards compatibility for me. I want to know if I can play PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 games on it. I know that I will be able to play PS4 games, but this just isn't enough for me. I have never had a PS3, I want to play many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4.
By the way, the real design of the PS5 is thousand times better than any of the fan-made concepts. It can clearly be seen that the PS5 is a work of professional designers in symbiosis with technical experts. IMHO.
I fell in love the very first moment I saw it during the presentation. Yes, I'm a bit concerned about the size of the console but I'm pretty certain that it's the price for cooling and being quiet. Speaking about the new Xbox, the form factor is reasonable - it is smaller than PS5, but it is really a "box" (read: thicker than PS5), and it has a fan on its top. Oh and I think that Xbox looks cool, but the PS5 looks way more interesting because... you know... that sci-fi look.
I am getting both consoles eventually, but the first one will be PS5. Maybe even at launch, have not decided yet...
@rjejr by "PC" was always meant to be platform / architecture plus hardware combination, which can be translated as "a personal computer (desktop or laptop) (but not a Mac) with a modern OS (Windows, Linux)". It is obvious that it doesn't include old PCs running DOS. Steam, Uplay, Origin etc., however, are launchers / game library organizers, not platforms.
Russia invaded my country and is killing, kidnapping and torturing our people every day since 2014. Does America care? Does Sony care? Is someone in US postponing something because people are being killed in Ukraine just for their race and spoken language? Sony, you don't care about it the same way that I don't care about that black man killed by police. I don't care about any protests in US.
Sony, you are a JAPANESE company, seems that you have forgotten about that.
All of these Sony's delays and postponings only suggest that Sony is doing poorly, especially against the background of competitors.
But there is nothing we can do but wait for Sony to pack its *****. I'm disappointed, but I've just started playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate and it will take a lot of time so I don't care.
If Sony cancelled the PS5 at all, people would just buy an Xbox and continue playing games.
EA will be releasing Command & Conquer Remastered Collection for PC (Steam+Origin). Sadly, no word of PS4 version. But this confirms that they work on remasters.

@thefourfoldroot It's not fully BC. I could not play Assassin's Creed Syndicate on the PS5. For me, that's a show stopper.

Re: Why Does PS5 Pin Deleted Games to the Main Menu?
Yes, the PS5 looks like an unfinished and very rushed product. Will wait a year till I buy it, hopefully all the critical bugs will be fixed by then.
Re: PS5 Could Add 1440p Support if There Is Enough Demand
