Playstation The Official Playstation 5 Thread

[Iceman]

I have no interest in this game. But, this shows off next gen graphics. And once again, it is gameplay that is shown running on a PS5.

Looking good!

Looking good!

it's making me excited for a next gen wrestling or UFC game!

that looks TOO good.

if my friends end up buying it I might get it too just to play it with them.

Excellent! We need more side by side comparison shots/videos like this.

You can definitely see the difference in lighting and detail in the PS5 version compared to the PS4.

Finally!!! The official teardown!!

They could have given that Ps5 to somebody! /sarcasm

 

[Gee]

Damn, that's one massive heatsink. Dual intake fans and liquid metal cooling? Sony isn't cheaping out on the cooling system...

Good to know the expandable storage is standard M.2 size.

This console is gonna be a beast in every way. That cooling system!

same, I'm so damn ready for next gen.

I've been thinkin bout it and the first game I'll probably play is Black Ops Cold War. My first Ps4 game I played that way was another cod game (Ghosts) and on top of that while I usually don't play the story mode of call of duty games, Cold War is a direct sequel to the original Black Ops which I thought had a pretty good story.

The only thing is I don't want to pay 70 fxcking dollars for it. I'm hoping there will be used copies available sooner rather than later.

I preordered mine yesterday with Crash 4. I'll also snatch up Miles Morales as soon as im able

I went with the disc drive version. I like buying used games and there are many unvisited ps4 releases i can get super affordably. Plus using discs just leaves much more hard-drive space

The new Astro is available as a free add on, so there's at least 1 ps5 eXclusive game from the get go.

Another launch title for the ps5!

Bugsnax Release Date Set for November, Voice Cast Unveiled

where did you secure the preorder?

yeah, I am looking forward to that as well. it's actually a sequel to the PsVr game

Is there a particular brand that would be recommended for the storage expansion? I'm completely unfamiliar with these NVMe drives.

We have to wait for Sony's list of approved SSDs.

As far as brands go, can't go wrong with Samsung's Pro series. They recently revealed the 980 Pro which is (theoretically) faster than the PS5's internal SSD. WD's Black series is another good brand and they announced today their first Gen4 NVMe SSD which has similar I/O speeds of the 980 Pro.

Both are priced at $229 for 1 TB and $149 for 500 GB. They also have a 2 TB model at $400+.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

where did you secure the preorder?

From a Finland-based online store, verkkokauppa.com

But it doesn't necessarily mean I will get the product at release. When the youtuber Jake Baldino preordered an Xbox 360, the store later notified him that their stock ran out and he'd have to wait

Sony finally gives official details on PS4 BC.

PlayStation Support

Looks like only a handful of PS4 games WON'T work on PS5:

DWVR
Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2
Just Deal With It!
Shadow Complex Remastered
Robinson: The Journey
We Sing
Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
Shadwen
Joe's Diner

The other thing that stood out to me was this:

• You can transfer digital games and saved data from a PS4 console to a PS5 console using WiFi data transfer.

What does WiFi data transfer mean? Is that cloud-based via PS+? Or will I still need my PS4 console and transfer saves directly to the PS5 via internet?

 

[Iceman]

Glad to see nearly all PS4 games will be covered.

Is Hitman Go, the Hitman reboot?

Good thing the missions of those are included in Hitman 2. Gosh this stuff is messy. Imagine inserting a ps4 disc on ps5 and it doesn't work.
