The related blog post says;

Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!).

Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners.

Tune in live on Twitch or YouTube this Wednesday, September 16 at 1pm PDT / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST to see what’s next for PS5.

So just games then. :pac:

(Surely launch details will be announced. And in before "Don't call me Shirley")

I think with the event they revealed the console, they never announced they were revealing it, just said it was PS5 games. I'd fully expect an update on actual launch titles and a price/date reveal.

Potential-Monke · 12-09-2020 04:07PM

For a millisecond, I thought that video was showing a black PS5, just towards the end. Just shadows but I got excited!

12-09-2020 04:08PM

Would be surprised if they don't do an announcement. Realistically need to do prior to Xbox preorders open up.

CastorTroy · 12-09-2020 04:13PM

Wasn't planned to announce date and price when making the video so we'll just set someone slap a sticky note on at the end

shrewdness · 12-09-2020 04:21PM

40 minutes for another "games showcase" so they must have something substantial to show before presumably finishing off with the big reveal of price/release date/pre-order details.

Wonder what they'll show games-wise. They've showed very little of Miles Morales for it being a supposed launch title, so maybe they'll show some gameplay of that. Wonder if they'll be a bit more specific on the launch line up too? Some people were talking about Demon Souls for that, maybe a bit too optimistic but it would be a big boost. Also wonder if they'll tease an announcement of a big 1st party title that won't be out for a couple of years, like the next God of War or Naughty Dog's next project, but again probably wishful thinking.

CastorTroy · 12-09-2020 05:05PM

I'm sure they'll have third party games in the showcase if they're going to be launch titles. And I expect info on Backward Compatibility so they can use the similar idea to XBox where they say they've so many games at launch through BC.

marcbrophy · 12-09-2020 06:36PM

My uneducated guess for launch will be:

Friday 20th of November 2020 for North America

Friday 4th of December 2020 for PAL

Sometime after Xmas for JP

Gmens12 · 12-09-2020 06:37PM

sorry if this sounds stupid but what res (4k 6k 8k) is the PS5

Most games will target 4k I'd imagine, with some dynamic resolution probably in action at times.

It's going to be a global launch, they have always said this

Apologies, I never saw that stated anywhere!
Or maybe I did and I just forgot

No problem, this actually comes up every once in a while in this thread

Looks like placeholder names in this Spanish store. 400 and 500 euro. Could Be bogus but I'm guessing they're the real prices.

So any of you guys going entirely diskless? One reason I won't is it ties self too heavily into their store. Even though I may primarily buy from it etc.

Haven't bought physical in years so will probably go digital. I usually don't buy from the Irish store apart for multiplayer games as other regions usually offer better value.

titan18 · 13-09-2020 12:00PM

I'd say the only disk games I have are the ones I got in bundles when buying the console/bought alongside the console. Probably only have 5 at most. I mainly buy games via sales on the store, and then work off PS plus, EA access, ps now.

If it was 349, I'd seriously consider buying it. At 399, I'm a bit meh as there'll be further revisions down the line and I'd prefer if the console was smaller

DaveyDave · 13-09-2020 12:13PM

I buy physical because I want a collection and as long as digital games are €70 when physical copies are €60 in Smyths/Argos or less on Amazon I'll continue to buy discs. Smyths usually have a €5 pre-order discount too.

johnny_ultimate · 13-09-2020 12:21PM

As that weirdo who will continue to buy Bly-Rays until digital availability becomes far better than it currently is (for world and classic cinema in particular), I have to say the UHD drive is also a selling point for the disc version. Good few years left in discs as long as Criterion, Eureka, Arrow etc keep pumping out the high-quality restorations. Would be happy to retire the PS4 entirely if there’s robust backwards compatibility and a superior Blu-Ray player in the PS5.

13-09-2020 12:25PM

I still buy some games on disc, although I have been buying more digitally over the last year. The PS5 will see a lot of use as a 4k blu ray player in my house, can't ever see myself going fully digital.

That's other reason for me besides the ps4 games. Still haven't invested in UHD but keep contemplating it.

titan18 · 13-09-2020 12:50PM

I own a standalone 4k blu ray player so that part doesn't bother me. Understandable reason though to go the disk version

Zero-Cool · 13-09-2020 12:53PM

I live the thought of collecting physicals but the reality is i buy and sell with the money going to the next game. System that has enabled me to get any games i want without paying full price. I get digital Indies and when there's a good sale. I think the diskless version looks a lot better but the disk version all the way for me.

Pretty much the same here. Trade in and 2nd hand market gives so much more value for money for me, definitely be getting disk version. Only question is whether to get on release with a pre order (what my hype orientated heart says) or wait until next year when they'll be more game selection and any bugs ironed out ( stupid sensible head)

recyclops · 13-09-2020 02:48PM

If game share is possible il be going digital.

CastorTroy · 13-09-2020 03:47PM

One reason for buying physical means easier when giving parents/brother my santa list.

Sweet!
As for the HDMI, they can have one of the ones that was bought in Dealz for €1.49 that I've lying around :pac:

Got 48 cash for the PS3, would have gotten 54 but the controller was red and didn't match the console. Also got 48 for my blue DS4 totalling 350 cash (also sold VR, 2 ps3 games and 1 ps4 game.)

All i have left is my ps4, one controller and death stranding. Hoping to platinum that and then selling both by next weekend. Going all in with the ps5 backwards compatibility, probably being foolish.

I have Mafia 1 paid for so might keep that for PS5 launch. I have a feeling the ps4 pro will take an awful dip in cash price if i wait too long. 237 at the moment.

My ideal launch lineup is looking like Demons Souls remake, Mafia 1 remake and if rumours are true, Mass Effect Trilogy remake :pac:
