PlayStation 5 - Next gen is expensive

[mexos]

I don't really care what the box looks like as it will be out of sight. It's.. challenging looks wise. Controller looks nice mind.

So horizon (no release date) > resi 8 (no release date, multiplatform) > demon souls (no release date) > gt7 (ha, no release date) > ratchet and clank (no release date) > spidey (release date, but bizarrely no gameplay).

 

and little devils which looks lovely.

Launch windows eh... 

[Ninja Doctor]

that fugly.

The console reminds me of Dubai style architecture, like some expensive looking yet ultimately tacky hotel

Wasn't that Horizon trailer just pre-rendered? 

It’s not like they have form...

Redfield looks like he was about to go down town to protect some statues. 

[Droo]

Looks like an oyster.

All digital at first, I think they are going after retail. The 33% to 50% mark up for retail takes a huge chunk of Sony's bottom line.

Time to sell your shares in game and gamestop

That design is going to split opinion. It's got a sleek, space age look to it. I like it, but I can see some people hating it and others adoring it.

 

None of the mockups came close.

Dark souls what ?

LED lights and hydraulics couldn’t ruin it any further!

It’s pretty fucking strange looking. 

[Alex W.]

This is exactly the weird shit I was hoping for when they showed the controller. And where are the vents? Tiny and around the edge. Love it. LED lights in the vents? Sure, fuck it. The complete opposite of the Xbox Series. Brilliant.

you stand it that way round? Urgh.

given the controller there I’m now wondering whether it would fit horizontally under my tv. Wife’s comment was “that’s not asthetically pleasing”, and she’s let me cover most of the lounge in Lego.

[MansizeRooster]

Have they seriously hidden the disc tray under a down-turned lip? 

 

If then were aiming to make it less accessible, why not just go whole-hog and put it on the back end of the machine.

 

 

Christ.

[Dirty Harry Potter]

I really like the design..

 

maybe a bit phantom.. but it’s cool. Digital version all the way for me.

[Stanley]

Watching Demons trailer in 4K and it looks great.

[CarloOos]

Absolutely fucking hideous. Also Demon Souls aside most of the games I’m interested in seem to be third party?

I quite like the look of it . But the disappointing thing for me was that Sony have spent a generation building up the strongest first party line up , probably ever , and they had very little to follow it up with . Of course it’s early days yet and there might be more to come , but that was not a great showing .

there’s probably a whole whist of 1st party teams just not ready to show anything. They’ll likely hold some stuff back for later in the year maybe?  Keep the onslaught of top 1st party games coming through the year rather than reveal everything on this first real event.

I'm less bothered about whether I can stand it horizontally and more bothered about whether I can stand it in a different room.

Yeah, and they'll know MS' sales because people in the industry talk so they'll know how the Xbox one version of the experiment went.

[Down by Law]

The real reason OLED tvs are so slim is that you can hide these fuckugly consoles behind them 

[Monkeyspill]

As shit as the weird mock ups were, they looked much better than the real thing.

not even that where GT7 is concerned. Suspect something has slipped due to Covid.

It looks like an old white Macbook with a swelling battery.

I'm not allowed to POS anymore today apparently so I'll just say;

 

Beautiful post.

maybe a heat issue design?

RE8 looked so good. I get it wasn’t gameplay footage exactly, but I got massive reminders for each of 1, 4 & 7, which is a blend I want to dive right into.

[GamesGamesGames]

I've no doubt there were a lot of decent games shown there, but I think only Stray had me wondering what it would be.

We’re assuming Microsoft are launching with Halo, Forza 8 and some indie games on Gamespass. will be really interesting to see where the pricing ends up.
