Playstation The Official Playstation 5 Thread

This has easily been the worst generation I've been a part of. Not only are the games coming out at the pace of a leaky faucet, but when they do arrive they aren't the instant classics that defined earlier eras. They're also usually unfinished, and require months of patches to reach a serviceable state (if they ever get fixed at all). I barely even touch my Pro anymore.

For me, its the selection of games. Most are soulslike, or heavily dwelve on fantasy in a forest/medieval setting, its just not very interesting to me. I am already ignoring sports/fps/multiplayer games, then I had to include those genres as well.

Then some games I've added to my wishlist ended up getting lukewarm reviews like Mindseye, Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights. And I'm like do I have to really wait for those games to go on sale and my wishlist isn't even that long to begin with.

Then the franchises just left me waiting for ages for a new game, and its just not very fun.

We need to bring back funtastic colors. Technology peaked when we had transparent hardware. It's all been downhill since.

Looks like a Sucker Punch dev lost her job over a post on Charlie Kirk's murder. She has updated her LinkedIn profile already.

PlayStation 5 Digital Edition with 1TB SSD downgraded to 825GB listed at the same price — CFI-2116 revision emerges overseas on Amazon

Less storage for the same price doesn't sound like a good revision.

Destruction AllStars is exclusive to PS5 and given the state of the game, is never hitting PC.

Other PS5 games (first party) that don't have a PC port yet.
-Demon's Soul (2020)
-Horizon: Call of the Mountain (2023)
-Astro Bot (2024)

I'm really looking forward to Demon's Soul on PC. Seems like I'm not the only one.

I'm unfamiliar with Blood of Antara. Spider-Man 3 is years away, probably 2028 as its earliest release.
