PlayStation 5 - Next gen is expensive

[RubberJohnny]

Good showing though, quite a few games announced there after everyone saying it was looking thin based on the previous one.

[Thor]

Well, I'll be getting the disc edition, but not at launch, and that's still dependent on reviews of it's 4k UHD capabilities.

Fuck you europe

Is the digital edition literally the same but without a disc drive? How does the disc drive cost another £100?!?

 

It doesn't; but driving people to buying from them directly makes it worth the loss they'd be making.

Overall rating:

 

No Bugsnax/10

Cool, I liked that presentation a lot, but what are the launch games? 

[Minion]

So what are the confirmed launch games. Very confusing and underwhelming presentation.

What if you don’t like fighting games or fantasy? Is that it?

 

Sorry - there will never be anymore PS5 games

[footle]

And at launch... um...

Ditto. That PS+ Collection thing is really good too. Some absolute bangers in that!

 

It's going to be strange that you can download those PS4 games on PS5 but not PS4 with PS Plus.

Same reason phones with more memory do.....

[thesnwmn]

That might be the least varied array of games I’ve ever seen. Other than Oddworld they’re all shorty/actiony shit. Dull.

[Thor]

Nothing worth buying at launch though.

[Meat]

Existential angst undiminished.

It doesn't, but they can make back the £100 loss with their 30% cut from digital game purchases.

[rgraves]

I'm confused - is it BC with PS4 or not - or do you have to pay a subscription to play the compatible PS4 stuff?

[df0]

Cool, 500 euro. November 19.

It doesn't, it's a loss leader, they're more than making up the difference in charging you more for psn games and taking a bigger cut. 

 

Meh, I've been pretty much all digital this generation anyway. And most of last, to be honest. Screw discs, I don't want em. 

[tnman]

South Korea and Mexico before UK. 

[Girth Certificate]

That call of duty game looks pretty cunty

[teddymeow]

So potentially both HOrizon and God of War in the same year?!

 

Holy shit!!

[Captain Kelsten]

Aah now IGN have to pretend to be hyped about any of that. Time to turn it off. 

[Marzipan Travolta]

Can't imagine they wanted to go that cheap with the no disc drive version. They're really fair prices though.

Wonder if they will regret not going for the 1080p/4k model structure that MS have. 

Not sensed any traction for the Series S from all the kids at school.

the biggest gaming news is that spiderman is cross gen, and to play the content you’ve bought in full PS5 is another £70 please.

 

[yashiro]

Demon Souls had great texture detail, everything else looked pretty bland.

[Ry]

If digital games are going to be £65 (spider listed as $70) then it would be insane for me to get the digital version. 

 

They can fuck off with that. 

[rgraves]

Honestly, I think they've left it rolling along the goaline there - if I was MS I'd get something out quick - there's a chance to tap it home if they can somehow muster up the chops to take it....

Mostly yeah, you do get some good bargains on discs now and again though. 

 

Of the 4 platforms I think the discless ps5 is the best value. The one s is bargaintastic however. Going to think about which I prefer. 

[the_debaser]

Not even £349, £359 the cunts.

 

What they have shown has simply not justified that price tag. The games only look a smidgen better than the best on PS4. 

[Down by Law]

What a load of shit that was
