I am not going to downplay these enhancements, but on PS4 the games will look perfectly fine and play perfectly fine as well.
I consider all these features gravy, not must-haves for the games in discussion here.
I can understand Demon Souls just being an error.
But, to hide that Spider-man MM, Horizon Forbidden West, and Sackboy's Adventure are also on PS4 is really BS marketing tactics. First, they let Microsoft take all the blame for it, Second, they weren't upfront with consumers.
I was going to wait on these consoles anyhow, but the presentation yesterday had me ready for a PS5 digital at launch. This additional info swung me back to waiting. And i...
People have to understand that this is a new reality.
The previous consoles are powerful, Developers may need to downgrade resolution and framerates, but the previous consoles are still very capable of running the current game engines.
In generation year 2+ the game engines will evolve to a point they cannot be delivered on the current generation of consoles. All Sony and Microsoft are doing here is being honest with their customers. People should not f...
My bigger question is whether they will have cross-buy. If I buy the PS4 version do I get the PS5 version without having to re-buy it?
How many articles and comments over the past few months ridiculed XB over shipping next gen games on XBO? Why bother with a nextgen when you are shipping on both generation of consoles? This is holding back next gen gaming. Phil and boys are crazy! We buy next gen consoles to play next gen games, not to play last gen games on a new console. The list of articles and comments on this topic were pretty endless for the past few months.
Now, we find out Sony is shipping Spi...

I buy a lot of games. Have been only doing digital purchases for over 10 years now. Once I left retail I never looked back. I buy most of my games on digital sales of 75+% off. I have a massive back catalogue so waiting for the good digital prices is no big deal. Have continually spent less and less total money per year on games but still have almost all the latest and greatest.

It is not just a short term savings. I...
What I would like to see is the XSX and XSS versions compared.
It is difficult to say it is weak with out comparing it to the XSX version.
Bungie is developing shooters, XB has two good shooter franchises...
They don't need another shooter devt....
They do need more action-adventure devts...
Spider-man gameplay = Check
God of Ware 2021 = Check
FFXVI = That was not very next gen
RE Village = Check
DMC Special Edition = Really, you want me to buy the game again.... NOT
PS Plus = After seeing in XB articles people crapping on BC and how a new generation should have new games... OK.
PS5 Disc price = Check
PS5 Digital Only price = Definitively!
Yes, the digital is very close to swaying me!
Just need to know the complete official launch lineup and may get a PS5 this holiday. Spider-man looks amazing, but can't justify $399 + Accessories + the game for about 30 hours of entertainment. There has to be more nextgen only games.
I was actually surprised that they got to $399 with the all digital console. Makes me wonder why I would buy the disc console because if I just look at it from a cost to manufacturer vs cost I pay the better value is the digital console by a significant margin (Around $80).
(I just have to make this comment - I know it is wrong and I don't agree with it, but I have to say it because I have seen it in other articles on this site)
Why would I want to play last gen games on a next gen console?
I was really impressed with Spider-man and excited that they announced GoW Ragnorok for 2021.
Graphically it was really good.
Demon Souls is a punishing and technical gamer's game. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed the original so will pick this up when I get to PS5 land.
Ya, not really enough info to assess how good the game will or will not be. My initial feeling was "Yeah", but as the trailer progressed it was more... OK, I need to see more to assess this.
Final Fantasy XVI looked very underwhelming and mostly last gen to me.
Yes, that was a pretty awesome gameplay sequence!

The reality is that almost every electronics industry evolves out of "must" upgrades over time and moves to "ongoing" upgrades.
Audio equipment, visual equipment, computers, tablets, phones etc... All support many generations of the equipment at once. Consoles are currently an exception. And specifically it is Sony that is the exception in consoles. Nintendo supported many generations of DS and Wii devices, MS is now supporti...
It is aggressive for the components in it.
Go and make a similarly configured PC for that price.
Yup, the reality is that absolutely no company is looking out for or being nice to the consumer. Everyone needs to realize that and hold them all accountable with our dollars.
