I always stay away from them for games , but they are usually grand for consoles , the only thing i'd be worried about is that they'd close

How did Smyths do for the PS4 online pre-orders , Gamestop messed it up and didn't have anyway for people to change to the limited edition launch sku after they put it up early.

May be a tad early but thinking ahead with a view to pre-ordering I would be very nervous of gamestop with the position there are in at the moment, i'm wondering would they even survive until next christmas, thinking if I pre order smyths might be the safer bet.

Best bet would be Smyths for a pre order.

The always on haptics from walking on different textures to firing guns/bows makes me worried that the battery life will be at worst the same as the DS4.

Heard it has a bigger battery to compensate think that was in the wired article

Getting it day 1. Mostly to replace my loud as **** Pro! I look forward to buying a 2nd copy of TLOU 2 & Cyberpunk also

Hopefully Gamestop stay open long enough to offer a nice console trade in deal.

Only thing I don't like the sound of is the different tension settings on the triggers. Sounds cool how aiming a bow will have more tension than aiming a gun but I hope they use decent parts for the trigger. And please a longer ****ing battery life.

Will we ever see a full wireless console ???

Reckon a power plug would be hard to go wireless but maybe a chromecast like device for HDMI port etc

Ah jesus

People will get it for FF7 and TLOU2, hopefully GS have their tradeup deals.

With 6th archstone accessible!!!

I will tell myself with certainty that I'll wait at least 6 months, then I'll cave in the first week and buy it.

I will hold off getting a PS5 for as long as possible. The PS4 has been the most disappointing and under used console I've ever bought and I feel things could even get worse with the PS5. It just doesn't make sense when you own a PC.

Saying that, the minute bloodborne 2 or some other From Software game gets announced exclusively for it I'll probably be there day 1 :pac:

Wouldn't call that infighting. And worldwide studios would be overseeing software development, not hardware.

Maysa07

I wonder if it'll be delivered on time. There's infighting, someone left and confusion over its direction.

If it looks like that dev kit with the big V in it I genuinely can't see myself buying it, its hideous. Really hope it doesn't, I've always owned whatever Playstation was out at a particular time.

I actually don't think it looks that bad. It's certainly no Microsoft monstrosity! It's different at least. But I do agree it's a very big change from previous gens, and it wouldn't look as subtle beside the tv.

I initially got excited about the DS5, but then I remembered, isn't that what the Xbox One controller is? Not a bad thing, the One controller had a lot of better aspects compared to the DS4 , but I still prefer the shape/hold/feel of the DS4. Hope the DS5 is similar shaped at least, don't think Sony would change it too drastically.

brianregan09

**** it , I'm in , bought the last 2 on release and the ps2 I think the ps1 is the only one i haven't gotten on release day

"Holidays" in the gaming industry can be anything from Oct, Nov and Dec. But usually it's used if they are targeting Oct but there is a high risk of a slip to Nov.

The perfect launch time is to launch in Oct. Get a second boost for Thanks Giving/Black Friday and a third run for Christmas. About 60% of the sales happen in that 3 month window. The other 40% in the rest of the 9 months. It's why that launch window is so crowded.

Since US thanks giving next year is the 26th Nov I reckon around the 15th Nov would be a good guess.

Prob see Xbox push for September/Oct. They can't be second to market.

Holidays in the US is generally late November (post Thanksgiving) until sometime in January.

September or October are firmly within 'Fall' season.

Yeah, I know that part, but what I meant was "in time for" means it could be just before.
Though PS3 and PS4 both released in November in the States

They'd want it out with a decent bit of time before black Friday.

Basically ray tracing would be ambient occlusion, display of light through windows etc, the 2nd level is shadows etc on surfaces and then you have the full monty for the third level.
We’re only going to see the first 2 levels on the new consoles if indeed the we even get the second level.
Big talk by Sony on the SSD which is the least interesting spec of the new consoles or should be.
I hope they don’t cheap out and do a 256gb model. Would be a complete farce. Minimum 500gb really at least.
Regarding the looks I couldn’t care less if it looked like the Roseanne Barr’s ass. As long as it quiet and plenty of cooling which is far more important,

Hmm, he said "In time for Holiday 2020", so may even be September or October.
Looking at previous PS console releases, none released worldwide at the same time.

The New Xbox is Holiday 2020 as well, isn't it?

Gets the hype rolling but also, and I'm open to correction on this by someone who follows gaming news more closely than I, but it feels like the speculation for previous consoles ran away with itself somewhat with the effect that people ended up reacting a little disappointingly when they found out the specs weren't going to be as out-of-this-world as the "leaks" suggested so in that regard it also manages expectations.

Very good point and with that in mind we can see some hints which are designed to manage expectations.

Cerny talked (in April) about using the ray tracing hardware for audio .. someone today talked about ray traced shadows. Both of these could be interpreted as hints towards ray tracing hardware that's a little underwhelming.

Cerny mentioned how the use of an SSD avoids the need to dupe assets accross a HDD and thus saves space. About the least interesting/exciting aspect of using an SSD so why mention it ? Perhaps to prepare people for a fairly small SSD.

the ps2 was the only dev-kit that looked like the finished product. I doubt the 5 will

While there’s much more to share about PlayStation 5 in the year ahead, we have plenty of blockbuster experiences coming your way on PS4, including Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima. I’d like to thank all PlayStation fans for continuing the journey with us, as we embark on the future of games.

Nice to hear it's still aiming for PS4 at least, likely next summer
