Craig H Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 If the system specs are the same, I'm just going to go with the digital only PS5 and the $35/month payment plan for the Xbox Series X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just now, Death From Above said: What are the launch titles? Anybody? Hello????? Miles Morales and... Uh the shitty demo that comes with? Ratchet and Clank maybe? Demon's Souls looks too good. I need that shit. I'm preordering the shit out of the digital edition. Games I'm looking forward to are Miles Morales (though troubling politics look like they'll continue), Oddworld, Demon's Souls. I'd think those would be out around release.

Jiji Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Deathloop looked interesting too with having to find information on the right way to do kill things. Not sure buy at full price interesting but I'm way more intrigued now than I was an hour ago. I thought it was a strong showcase not spectacular. Console exclusive Final Fantasy, God of War sequel and shine for games to get us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Did you really just call Astrobot a shitty demo? First of all it’s a full game, and Astrobot is fucking awesome. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Uh okay. Why wouldn't they tell us this during the fucking showcase? I saw Keighley play the demo that I'm pretty sure he said was a demo and it looked like a tech demo. Never mind that shit! Demon's souls is a launch title according to Keighley!

Casey Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He was probably playing a demo, but Sony have already revealed it’s a full length game that’s preloaded onto the console. Astrobot is one of the more fun games I’ve played for the PS4, so I’m hyped for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That's good to hear. We'll have Miles Morales and Demon's Souls too. So I'm a happy camper. Brother is saying that pre orders may actually start today. I'm sure Canadian retailers will get around to it whenever they feel like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I really have no desire to play Demon's Souls again and a little confused about the excitement for it as a launch title but I am sure I'll still pre-order a PS5 anyway. I assume they'll have a few good games out by Christmas. God of War having no gameplay wasn't a great sign, I am assuming that is Holiday 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Almost assuredly. I haven't gotten into the Souls series other than playing a bit of Demon's Souls a few years back thinking it was pretty great but the menus looked 20 years old. This is the perfect way for me to jump into it and it looked phenomenal. So pre orders could be today even. And @Craig H: It's the same machine minus the disc drive.

My son, who is 12 just watched the trailer and said "That's a Final Fantasy game? It doesn't look like one." It feels like it began development during Game of Thrones, but by the time the last season came out it was already too far ahead to turn back. I heard it was more fantasy based before I watched the trailer, so I was hoping we were going to get something closer to 9, which to me would be a much bolder and exciting move than this. Also...yeah...I'm a big proponent of less sausage fests in gaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I've had to give up on Final Fantasy being Final Fantasy, at least what I grew up with. I kinda hate they still use the name when the games don't feel in any way like what I think of a Final Fantasy game being, but they are going to use the name to get sales, nothing I can do about it. But haven't liked a Final Fantasy since X so unless it gets great reviews I'll probably pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That price difference is a bummer as I want the disc drive but they clearly want to steer folks to digital - which will also mean not being able to borrow a friend's game which was a big issue with the announcing of last gen. Apparently people don't care anymore? My 13yo son just got allllllll about Dark Souls and Bloodborne so he's psyched about Demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The price difference is deviously great strategy on their part. People have fallen into the convenience of it, and now they can lock them in. People say it's 100 bucks for a disc drive, but it's really Sony saying we'll knock 100 bucks off so you'll join us in killing off these goddamn discs. It's worth it for them.

Coletti Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) For sure but man, a hundred bucks difference? At least throw in an extra controller for that cost, that way people who want the drive don't feel so harshly fucked and people who don't care won't feel like their missing much. Edit to say obviously I know they won't. Just a bummer. Edited September 16, 2020 by christopher.annino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 After watching the showcase (which essentially repeats some of the reveals from the earlier showcase), I'm very much 'eh' towards buying a PS5 at launch. What makes me less likely to get it is the fact that the centerpieces (Spidey Miles, Horizon: FW) are both PS4 and PS5 games. There's no point in having a PS5 then. Not to mention that Sony has their first-party games see price increases and $70 USD will be their retail price going forward. I know games are expensive and we are paying for their marketing budget, not for them to actually make the game. Besides FFXVI (OMG it's Game of Thrones with chocobos!), Demon's Souls (I know what area we saw and was yelling at the player character to block and wondering why it wasn't getting staggered more), and DMC 5 SE and maybe Spidey Miles, I'm going to hold off on PS5. I got too much on PS3, Vita & PS4 to play. Mad Max is sooo good y'all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm disappointed. The fact that all of the PlayStation exclusive games are coming to PS4 tells me that this isn't going to be a next generation upgrade out the gate. It's great for everyone that would prefer to wait but it's not great if you want to see the full power of the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 To me, $100 isn't nearly enough of a price difference to get me to go digital. But I also buy games, beat them, and sell them while they still have their value which I realize not everyone does. Plus my brother buys Sony and we loan each other games. I don't mind going disk-less for the XBOX since I mostly use it for GamePass/Gold games anyway, but for Sony I'll be a disk guy until they force me to do otherwise.

Kevin Wilson Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I dunno if anyone posted the list, didn't see it, but these are the PS4 games available at launch as part of the "PS Plus Collection." Its not a bad selection and since I have Plus already there is no extra cost, but it still feels like "we have limited new launch titles so uh here play these for a bit instead."
