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

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

360s otoh would like shit after a month

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

xp for xbox its game specific, theres a few hundred 360 games that run on the One iirc including most of the major ones, but not everything

for playstation the PS3 games are presumably still on your account but the PS4 can't run them

White strip looks kind of plain

i have a ps4 and a switch, and one box (wii fitness)

these details on how some ps5 games plan to take advantage of the improved haptic feedback are really promising!!

In a post today on the PlayStation blog, developers of PS5 games shared some thoughts on how haptic feedback works in the DualSense. The coolest nugget of info comes courtesy of Arkane Studios’ Dinga Bakaba, game director for the upcoming first-person assassination game, Deathloop. Apparently, when your gun jams, the DualSense’s triggers will too. This “[gives] to the player an immediate feedback even before the animation plays out, which prompts the player in a physical way that they have to unjam their gun,” Bakaba said.

We can talk all we want about teraflops and processing power and high-fidelity graphics and other blatantly obvious technological advancements the next generation of consoles will bring. (Indeed, we at Kotaku have. A lot.) But I’d argue that subtle tweaks like this are just as big a deal. Sure, having your triggers jam up in the middle of a match sounds like the type of frustration that makes you want to pull your hair out. It also sounds, to toss out an overused buzzword, immersive as heck. Those who like Arkane’s particular flavor of immersive sim (Dishonored, 2017’s Prey) will likely get a kick out of it.

The blog also goes into other uses of the DualSense haptics. For instance, according to creative director Brian Horton, Spider-Man: Miles Morales will apparently feature a sort of rolling vibration. If you use a special move—say, Miles’ “Venom Punch”—you’ll feel the vibration start on the left-hand grip and move rightward across the controller, ending as you wrap up the attack. It’s a far cry from the typical, unlocalized rumble you’d feel while punching, or getting punched, in 2018’s Spider-Man.

Gran Turismo 7 will use the DualSense triggers’ haptics to mimic the feeling of a real vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. Sounds interesting to me, but maybe someone who better knows how cars work—someone who didn’t get in a minor collision just last week—would be better suited to explain it.

the 3 exampled explained here are intriguing enough, but to me it's a good sign that the physical sensation of holding the controller and the feedback you get from it is going to be more of a flexible palette for game designers, and that's really cool i think

I can't remember, is microsoft introducing something similar on the series X controllers? Because when 90% of game development is multi platform, support for platform exclusive features like this tends to go out of the window pretty quickly.

In fact that's even true for single platform first party devs tbh. Eg the HD rumble in the switch joycons, which was demoed really well in 1-2-Switch but then barely used at all in any other 1st party nintendo game.

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?
