Poll: *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

So this external ssd lark seems contingent on USB 3.2 ports. I'm not seeing any clarity on whether the USB ports on the PS5 support this?!

e: oh may be it does!

A reasonably decent SATA SSD in a cheap USB caddy should do the job fine, given what it'll be used for. That said, it'll be worth waiting for the inevitable Digital Foundry test to see what results they get, they've already done an Xbox Series X test.

Lot of rumours going around that we might not see Bethesda games on anything other than Microsoft platforms. If that's true the PS5 is an instant no for me, couldn't deal with no Elder Scrolls or Fallout.

Not really interested in any Bethesda titles. Have Game Pass anyway in case something does come up that I want to play.

Time to also buy a pc gaming rig or Xbox.

My TV (Q85R) has a VRR range of 48-120Hz. Am I right in thinking that anything running at 30fps will not be variable, therefore I will notice stuttering when I get dropped frames, whereas anything running at 60FPS will be within the range and run much smoother?

I haven't liked a bethesda made game since elder scrolls oblivion, but they do own some good studios like Arkane who made prey and dishonored.

 

[BuffetSlayer]

It's unlikely, they need to be the new generation PCIe 4.0 drives and even that's not a guarantee that performance will be sufficient.

I see. Useful info, thank you. Mine is only gen 3.0 so no dice.

Ah well - I will see what the gen 4.0 prices do in the next 6-12 months.

That VRR only applies to 1080/1440p and not 4K same as my TV (ru8000). At 4k we get 48-60.
PS5 doesn't support the freesync these TVs use only HDMI 2.1 VRR. Doesn't bother me as most console games are locked 30fps or 60fps with vsync and don't have tearing/stutter like PC games would have without VRR.

Same. No real loss for Sony.

 

[JollyJamma]

Will get a ps5 optical edition.

Haven’t been able to afford a PS4 until now but I’ll skip it and get a 5.

It's potentially a pretty big loss, their games sell millions. That's a lot of revenue they may end up missing out on.

this.

 

[Desmo]

Of course it's a loss for Sony. If you get just one person who won't by a PS5 because of this then it's a loss....and there are going to be plenty of people who won't buy a PS5 because of this.

 

[Warbie]

Whether you like them or not, it's a massive loss for Sony if these games end up MS exclusives. Can you imagine how fast new engine, 4k hdr Elder Scrolls and Fallout games are going to fly off the shelves?

They are not flying off the shelves as most will use gamepass. I would rather have the Exclusive Sony games than any Bethesda game released this last gen.

 

[KraniX]

Imagine a new film came out and you couldn't watch it unless you had a Sony Blu-ray player?

Like the old betamax VHS days...

These exclusives are bad for us as consumers whichever side you're on.

I cannot remember the last time I bought a Bethesda game. They've got a bad reputation for a reason. The only time I bought them was when they were on greatly reduced sales.

 

[ic1male]

I'm rooting for them, Zenimax Studios have been the best bunch for me this gen. What with The Evil Within 1+2, Dishonored 2+Death of the Outsider, Prey, Doom+Doom Eternal, Skyrim, Wolfenstein The New Order+Old Blood+II. Every one of them I've thoroughly enjoyed (apart from Doom Eternal which I've not got yet).

Question

Do you think anymore PS5 pre-orders again in November ?
