PS, 12 Jun 2020Wow, I'm amazed. For the first time these ps5 games are lik... more"PS3 had the best futuristic hardware, best hardcore games".
Still, the Xbox360 was the better all around console.
Also, Nintendo has neither the futuristic hardware or the hardcore games. Still people were and are, buying it like crazy.
Human psychology is a marvelous thing. If one company can understand that it could make a fortune.
Imo Sony is doing a great job at this right now. It is attacking all aspects of the game genre. Also, the design is not something I particularly like (to be honest I don't like it at all), but it's spot on, because it is exactly 100% different than Xbox Series X's. Some person who finds the Xbox design dull or boring, it will immediately buy a PS5 just for this reason (even if initially was planning to buy an Xbox). The same idea with the games, some person who likes more the Nintendo type of games, will go and buy the PS5 because he can have those similar type games but on a better hardware console with better graphics.

But I havent heard yet of PS4 backward compatibility?
Anyways, with new internals and higher res performance, VR games will look even better, even on the existing VR headset.
RE Village, probably hi res version of Farpoint/Farpoint 2, sequel to Skyrim, Blood n Money, Dirt VR, AstroBot,...
Oh Man, Im drooling here :)

Anonymous, 12 Jun 2020So now an all digital console is a great idea because Sony ... moreI said it once I will say it 1000 times, fanboys are the worst kind of people, imo. No logic in their purchases, no objective behavior, only their "precious" company product. No other similar product matters to them and all other products are inferior. That is negative destructive behavior. You can just listen to some fanboys (no matter the brand) talking and you immediately know what I am saying.

Anonymous, 12 Jun 2020you have no clue of ps5 architecture don't you? Have a look... moreThe one with the physical optical disc placement is awkward. It should have been like the digital version but with the optical disc place somewhere in the middle of the interior with some coloring to indicate where the disc is inserted. Btw, did you guys notice that the PS5 standing up has the V-curved shape to it? So, If I place the optical disc somewhere in the middle of the interior, then.........you guys know story. :D

Wow, I'm amazed. For the first time these ps5 games are like Nintendo games but for babies!!
(Hello Mario Odyssey Baby Brother "Astros Playroom")!! Lots of unique games that looks like we're designed to be played on a smartphone. Where is Uncharted? God of War? Metal Gear Solid? Killzone 5? Final Fantasy 16 with it's crazy graphics?
But hey we got Rachet and Clank which btw was awesome on my PS3 but it looks like they are more focused on making this game more world shifting demo to show off it's ultra fast SSD rather than quality gameplay.
And that fast SSD will barely be noticed in third party games but the difference in TFLOPS that XSX has will.
PS3 had the best futuristic hardware, best hardcore games and PS4 had some good ones as well but only during the whole lifespan.
With that said PS5 all the way since when PS5 Pro comes out in 2022 it will have better GPU performance than XSX (the only main advantage of Xbox), Sony is the only one that's interested in VR which is the whole new level of gaming and PS5 controllers offer alot more functions like motion sensing, 3D audio, speakers, etc..

the only dissapointing part of the announcement was that they are still flogging a dead horse with GTA, I had hoped for a new game arriving, not just an expansion, I hope this is just a gap filler until the next version is announced, the game was good in its day but its a bit too long in the tooth now at almost 8 years old, regardless of how successful it has been over the years
