PS.. is it 5? I think we're on 5 now. PS5

I have a PS4 Slim and I've been very happy with it, so much so that I'm not sure what a PS5 would give me that I don't already have or want in a machine. Besides exclusives, I guess, but that stuff is totally under wraps, given that hyped heavy hitters Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima are coming out for PS4.

there is no point in buying a new console until there are games worth playing on it, idk why people even humor the thought of buying near launch

clout

fanboys + people who didnt have the previous box

I have Gamespot gift cards and GS is near death and my PS4 optical drive is dead. First time I’ll be buying a new system ASAP.

GTA though? Man, that’s been downhill from 4 on.

It would be be Spider-Man 2 for me. But I don't know, something about the general anxiety of this year might lead to just get this and maybe the MS one too

So just caught the Demon's Souls remake, what else have I missed/

HZD sequel so you better play the first one sooner than later!

Eh, I've got a couple of years before I even consider PS5.

FUGLY

better have good cooling because that's going in a drawer

that is seriously rank

looks like a router

We didn't get a price, right?

only $1.00, nice!

im predicting it'll be usd450 for the digital only one and 500 for the one with the drive

damn that's one ugly console, can it even lie on its side

The one with the drive looks worse than the other one

almost seems... intentional...

xp it looks way better on its side

well, maybe not 'way' better. ya I kinda like the design but it's huge and I hate the white

also looks very breakable
that said, Spider-Man: Miles Morales fuck yeah i think they got me

should have sniped the xbox's hajj aesthetic

so you need a stand to lay it flat?
yes v breakable white plactic labia lol

looks like a venue at the qatar world cup

looks like a robot's vag

great so we'll all have filthy looking consoles after a year

white plactic labia lol

lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one whose mind immediately went there.

hasn't been a nice looking console in years idk what everyone was expecting

i think the fat ps2 (laid on its side) was the last design i actually liked

Dammit which thread are we using?

great so we'll all have filthy looking consoles after a year

oh that didn't work never mind

Special black edition coming in 2022 j/k

looks a little like a frank gehry building i.e. a box with something kinda wavy wrapped around it to make it look intellectual

Shit sandwich

system looks bulky and terrible, games all look great but who knows

oh hey demons souls, i guess i'll buy this when it comes out

do we know if we will be able to carry over our digital games library from PS4?

would be pretty shitty not to since its all one account and the backwards compatibility is there unlike previous gen ups

thanks - just trying to decide whether I want to grab some stuff in the PS4 sale

yeah i mean i can't guarantee it but it would be an insanely hostile decision for them not to

did games libraries survive the jump from PS3 to PS4 / 360 to xbox one? I can't remember

i may be wrong but i think that gen was digital-purchase dominant only near the end of its lifecycle so it was less of a point of contention.

PS5 is bigger than the fat PS3. fs sony

my only disc is ring fit adventure, so i'm really hoping everything else will carried on to ps5.

i don't care TOO much about the hardware design, but yeah, it is really, really bad. attention-drawing in all the worst ways

then again, when the new tesla tank car prototype came out and everyone hated it, i actually thought it was kind of cool, so i demonstrably have zero taste in such things

also I am heading calstars’ copy is locked at 24fps for the cinema

That’s what I mean, just keep workin away at idk Gran Turismo 18 or whatever and give us a couple of years to 100% Disco Elysium

I like this line of thinking Tracer, long as I get Persona 6 in the next couple of years

Well, we've already discussed Sony announcing a long wait for new first party releases, I wonder if this means they are hoping their completion coincides with the release of the Pro.

but yeah, too many games, lol. I'm trying to stay disciplined with the stuff on my wishlist. The new Prince of Persia, Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, Last of Us Part 1 Remake, et al. ... $20 or bust!

thank you for supporting the games economy

I think the only (non-Nintendo) game - new, used, physical or digital - I have ever paid full price for was "Elden Ring". It's a good question, though: if all games were $50-$70 and *stayed* $50-$70, how many games would I ever actually buy? A lot fewer, that's for sure. It'd honestly probably be an incentive to pay for PS+ or whatever.

aren't you buying three or four for every one you play, though?

For sure, that's the collector in me. But those three or four are usually $12 or less, new or used, which helps justify impulse purchases (if waiting for prices to fall that low can be considered impulsive, though many new or used PS4 games seem to be hovering around that price point anyway).

Money is finite, gaming is forever

I endorse your fiscal decisions Josh

(tips hat)

Maybe because reading one news article becomes a self-perpetuating algorithmic cycle of repetition, but I keep getting served stories about the PS5 Pro built around the premise: why?
