PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

399 for the digital console, I'm set. Launch window is poor but I'm basically getting this as a hopefully silent PS4 with next gen benefits anyway.

Was keen on Mile Morales before as I enjoy the shorter versions of games (like The Last of Us side story and Dead Rising Case Zero) but do not fancy all the cut scene gameplay at all.

Hope press kits included details of BC.

100 difference for a disk drive? How is that?

My guess is it was originally €50 difference but then the Series S being €300 left to much of a gap and Sony had to drop price to not seem massively more expensive to the majority of buyers.

super_furry · 16-09-2020 09:54PM

With both Sony and Microsoft having cheaper digital only consoles, you have to think that's the end of GameStop. The likes of Smyth's, Amazon and Argos will keep selling games but even if that half the people that buy a console go digital, specialist game shops are toast.

shrewdness · 16-09-2020 09:55PM

Underwhelming enough presentation overall given that not alot has been announced for launch. Even Miles Morales still vaguely says "Holiday 2020". Demons Souls looks good but no date doesn't give much confidence it'll be out soon. The prices are as I thought.

The GOW2 reveal at the end wasn't unexpected imo, but the 2021 date certainly was. If that goes as planned, that's a huge 2021 for Playstation.

Will still pick one up at launch if I can even if there's not alot of exclusive PS5 games immediately available.

Meh. Wish it came in cheaper.

Also why is the diskless edition 359 pound and disk edition 449 pound when they'rere 399 and 499 euro then for us.

It's the "you're not American" tax - rather than the UK price, it's the US price that's funny - 499 USD translate directly into 499 Euro. This is for everything tech related; New nVidia cards? 699 USD -> 699 Euro (or more...).

Watched the entire thing - gotta say I'm utterly unimpressed. Nothing that screams "gotta have this". Same for Xbox X/S, really - most games look like they'd be able to run on current consoles, not to mention gaming PCs.

Graphically, I suspect FS2020 has kinda broken a lot of eggs by going "well boys, THIS is what truly 'next-gen' looks like".

Finally - I don't get the hate for the white colour...am I the only one who has a white TV stand?

Tipsy McSwagger · 16-09-2020 09:56PM

Spider-Man confirmed as launch title

heebusjeebus · 16-09-2020 09:56PM

Demon's Souls coming to PC too?

DeadWeight · 16-09-2020 09:56PM

I wasn't exactly blown away by the event tbh miles morales was something I was most interested in but it's coming to ps4 as well

johnny_ultimate · 16-09-2020 09:56PM

As tempting as these new cheaper digital only consoles are and despite the fact I’m going to be 100 quid worse off... physical media for life, baby.

ShaneU · 16-09-2020 09:57PM

OK the game just changed

Well, I imagine you've a beefy back catalogue of movies too?!

johnny_ultimate · 16-09-2020 09:57PM

There is a PS4 Miles Morales as well. They kept that one quiet :pac:

I am very worried about Demons Souls Remake after watching that presentation.
Visually It looks incredible but the problem is Bluepoint isnt Fromsoftware and you can tell they are putting there own spin with the game mechanics and the tone has been completely changed.
Character animations looked off to me , but I hope it will be a different experience if I play it .

I’d go digital but have too many 4K blu rays

swarmberg · 16-09-2020 09:58PM

Don't think I'll be getting on launch but in the new year when a few more games arrive. The series S will clean up at it's price point with parents.

Why the **** didn't they shout that from the roof?

shrewdness · 16-09-2020 09:59PM

So Miles Morales and Demons Souls basically confirmed for launch. Its looking better now so. Bizarre they didn't have that after the Demons Souls demo assuming thats true.

US prices are always excluding sales tax.

I’m not bothered since it won’t support Atmos and Vision, so I wouldn’t be able to make the most of Blu-rays anyways.

Digital all the way for me!

Penn · 16-09-2020 10:01PM

Yeah I assumed it wasn't a launch title since they didn't mention it. But damn, I'll be adding that one to the list

titan18 · 16-09-2020 10:02PM

I might pass on it. Pretty much a choice of build new PC, buy Series S as cheap next gen(ish) console, get the Ps5 or just play Cyberpunk on the PS4 pro (only game im interested in buying new).

Probably lean to the latter, and get the Ps5 when they do the inevitable smaller console in a year or two. Although if there's plenty of stock come Christmas, I might change my mind on the Series S

It definitely says it, but I’m wondering if it’s a mistake as it suggests other consoles... and they’re sure as hell not releasing Demon’s Souls on Xbox.

heebusjeebus · 16-09-2020 10:02PM

Pre-ordered the digital edition on Gamestop.ie

I figured the presentation has been recorded for weeks.

It was rumoured to be called project nimble or something. They were probably waiting for MS to make the first move.

Doesn’t make sense to withhold that information if it helps them out hugely.

weiland79 · 16-09-2020 10:03PM

Excuse my language but...

Demons souls looked ****ing sick!

All really familar but with stunning visuals added and vicious looking character animation.

Love it can't wait to stand in front of the Boletarian castle again with **** all on but some broken armour and a rusty sword!!

My guess for the pricing is €400/€500 for the Digital/Disk versions. Don't think they could go any lower than that for the digital, and a €100 difference seems about right. Don't think they'll want to go much more than the Series X so they'll go 500 aswell.

Few random predictions for tonight:

- Miles Morales gameplay. Seems fairly likely if that's presumably a launch title, very little of it shown so far
- Maybe a long shot but maybe Demons Souls announced for launch. Either way the launch line up should become more clear.
- An update/upgrade on PS Now, maybe bundled with Plus like others say.
- A teaser of a big 1st party game that won't be out for a couple of years, GOW2 maybe.

And the big one...

- GTA V next gen gameplay :pac:

Got most of those right(of course they weren't crazy predictions), apart from the GTAV gameplay

And the GOW2 release date! Didn't expect that.
