I have a reasonably powerful gaming PC but at the moment I think PS5 + Switch will be the way to go for 2021, unless you have to have Halo and Gears of War.

Edit: I'm not going to sell my gaming PC this time though because I did that once a few years ago and realized that bizarre draw towards slashing my knuckles on the inside edges of big rear end PC cases will never go away and buying a new gaming PC from the ground up is stupid expensive.

Got a preorder in in the UK, have they said when games will be available to order?

Are those psplus games that are going to be free on PS5 going to be enhanced? 60fps Bloodborne? 👏

The best use I found for my Xbone was giving it to someone who had no games.

Now he still has no games.

I'm kinda annoyed that Miles Morales is coming to PS4. I thought the whole drat point was that this game was going to be a PS5 tech showcase with super-fast movement around the city and fancy streaming data stuff.

Pretty sure you do need to hit the confirm your pre-order button or they're throwing it out next week, not sure if yours went through, but I think you can check again and see if the button's still there?

There are a few old Xbox games I'd like to play again, but they're niche Japanese games that I don't even know if work on the new hardware, like Chromehounds, EDF, Sylpheed and Tenchu Senran. It used to include Metal Wolf but by some crazy miracle it escaped Japanese Xbox world.

I knew as soon as I saw footage that it was total bullshit they couldn't get it on PS4. Like nothing in it looked better than Spiderman. It's the same engine, it's a smaller game and it's coming out like 2 years after the original so bullfuckingshit it was built from the ground up.

If the PS5 launches Nov 12th
And Cyberpunk 2077 launches Nov 19th

Why is there no PS5 version to purchase as part of the PS5 launch titles?

From this moment on I think all PS5 games that are also getting a PS4 release will be back-ported, in the sense of "technically you can play it, but runs at 20fps + looks like crap + wouldn't you rather play this on a PS5 etc. etc." Don't forget that MGSV also got PS3/XB360 releases in 2015.

CDPR has said they need more time to make a proper next gen version to take advantage of the various features of the new consoles. We'll probably get a PS5 version a year or so later with all the DLC included.

Anything that isn't coming to PS4 right now isn't coming to PS4 for profitability reasons, not because it would be impossible to make a PS4 port of it. Sony would rather sell more copies of Spiderman. Demon's Souls is probably the type of thing they are more willing to take a hit on to sell consoles.

The RTX effects probably have to be properly scaled for consoles since neither of them have the number of cores you'd need to pull off ray-traced everything.

They're thinking of making more money by selling an enhanced edition a year later. It's called the "GTA V strategy"

It was also restricted to like eight soldiers per map quadrant because of having to run on PS3/X360. The biggest base in the game felt like a ghost town.

I got my pre-order confirmed by Curry's but still haven't received my the email confirmation and it's 2 hours later.

If you try to pre-order now you get an instant "500 - we're going through essential server maintenance" message so hopefully it's only because of that.

I'll be gutted if I get a cancellation and they TOOK FIVE OF MY GOOD POUNDS FOR IT

How is it still not up on Amazon UK. The peripherals are all there.

Have they said anything about PC compatibility for the DS5? I might just order one of them if I can replace my DS4 with it and get the console itself next year.

The AMD hardware is very different than nvidia's. They are already pushing out the game for 4 different console SKUs and PC at launch. Added two more drastically more powerful consoles into the mix would suck up a lot of resources.

I'm going for the Disc version because I'll probably be more reliant on pre-owned prices. I mean the prices for new stuff on the PS store are sometimes utterly insane - or even old games that they just haven't applied any deals or price drops to.
