By sohois Go To PostWas backwards compatability mentioned at any point? I didn't see the show and can't be bothered to watch it all in case they mentioned itOnly after the show, 99% of the games are backwards compatible but there was no talk of any improvements.

I'm almost surprised that they did put in BC rather than just selling PS Now subscriptions. That's cool
It's not enough that he isn't getting a PS5, the rest of us must not be allowed to enjoy it either.

Getting Demon Souls at launch. The gameplay video sold me on it.
Don’t mind death if it’s short lived.

current consoles are old
they are loud
they are slow
By bud Go To PostGET IN.Only a bit deflated in regards GT7 not getting a date, Kaz please. Cross-gen or whatever just give me GT mode and Sport Mode 2.0
I got confirmation that i will receive both consoles i ordered. If reports come in that they are loud i will cancel them immediately.

I get it if you don't have a console or a gaming pc at all. I even get it if you just want to upgrade your Base (honestly don't get it if you own a pro, even if it's a jet engine since we don't know anything about the cooling and loudness of PS5). But considering a lot seem to be getting all the newest and shinyest toys I'm surprised about the reaction considering the lack of a generational leap. And it's just missing from both console offerings at launch. I'm not even seeing it yet for post launch games.
It would be a bit rubbish if PS4 games don't get a frame rate bump on PS5.
Apropos of nothing, what a clusterfuck the PS3 was.

By OneTwoTee Go To PostBugger, didn't manage to get a pre-order. Hopefully more will go up later.Argos tomorrow
By DerZuhälter Go To Postbut you get upgrading PCs for marginal gains

By DerZuhälter Go To PostStill seething over that showing yesterday. Surprised to see so many preordering.There's a new console every like 8 years. It's not such a crazy purchase and it's not like it'll drop in price in 1 year when there's more games. Don't see anything wrong with it
What are you planning to play with your fancy alienware router? Really interested to know what people with preorders are excited about. Is it really the first party stuff, 3rd party titles or the fear of console shortages?
Interested to read about what the noise is like on that thing. Clearly got a lot of vents and I expect the size is due to cooling requirements. PS4 goes over 60 dB if I remember correctly (no idea if that was adjusted for mid frequencies) which is like have a conversation with someone and not suitable for playing games without closed back headphones.
By Daz Go To PostIts been 7 years -That's being generous

They're REALLY slow

the problem is that launch consoles always have so many problems... it's definitely better to wait a year, but when I saw the £360 price tag I just thought who gives a shit, I'd rather just spend that to play demons souls and the guilty gear beta. I can't be bothered with all of this preordering bullshit though, hopefully things calm down soon...
Tony hawk makes my Xbox one x sound like a jet engine
And I keep my Xbox one in a well ventilated area
It’s time to move on

you can definitely get the console for like $100 cheaper/bundled in with a game just by waiting a year, it's like buying an AAA game at launch these days when you can get them for $20 in 3 months. It's all about the hype and FOMO.
Consoles are worth it, a relatively small investment for 7 years of peace of mind in regards games working without too much hassle.
Yeah, it's weird. The hardware will almost always be cheaper a year later. For the probably £50 price difference I'm happy to be able to play games on it an extra year
Fuck waiting. There’s always something better or a cheaper deal down the line, if you approach with that logic then you’ll be stuck in perpetual waiting forever.
Do any Sainsburys still stock consoles, or has that all moved to Argos now? I thought I'd be in day one if Demons Souls was announced for launch, but will probably wait until it has more than one game that I want to play. Should leave room to see if there are any problems with the launch hardware too.
By HonestVapes Go To PostFuck waiting. There’s always something better or a cheaper deal down the line, if you approach with that logic then you’ll be stuck in perpetual waiting forever.or just wait a certain time period and you get the thing at half price
or wait a few more and you can get a PS5 Pro for the same price when that launches because that'll be a thing 100%
Imagine how much cheaper gaming would be if you just lived it on a 3 year delay. Everything would cost half as much, and all you'd really miss out on is the hype cycle and discourse which often does more harm than good, and I guess most multiplayer games.
Fuck that though.

By Xpike Go To Postyou can also just wait a while, then get the exact same experience, but spend $100 or more less12 months of my life waiting vs a 100 lmao
but what sy said
Preordered my bigboi PS5 via Sony's official slovenian distributor, paid a 50€ advance, so I'm basically guaranteed to get one on day 1.
By sy Go To PostXpike realizing people have different levels of disposable incomei mean you can spend whatever you want
thing is i havent really seen a single good reason to get either of these consoles at launch
By Xpike Go To Postyou can also just wait a while, then get the exact same experience, but spend $100 or more less
Pre orders flying in Germany.
This doesn't come across as genuine when coming from a PC player.

Demons Souls looks amazeballs. MM looks dope. Cyberpunk 2077 will be incredible with near instant load times on PS5.
And of course.... Xcom 2 on that cocaine boost.

nothing
I wanna see this same energy in the PC thread too. What's the point in buying a 3080 now, wait a few years and buy it cheaper when the 4080 is out
PC players jumping over each other to pre order a 3080.... wondering why people want to upgrade to a PS5. Step up your trolling please, this is childs play.

my favorite part of console gamers is pretending to have the best hardware while also getting hyped over years old PC tech

Does the PS5 have 3D Mark?
Come Jesal be sensible please.
