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

[silvagti]

I'm sure I'll own both over the next few years but I'm getting ps5 at launch largely for no reason other than I preferred the PS4 over the XB1.

To me neither really have anything very exciting in the way of launch titles though unfortunately. Demon's souls looks ok but not for £70!

I probably shouldn't rush out to buy it at launch really but it's Xmas, I have time off and there's not much else to do with lockdowns/etc! I'm the free to play stuff like Warzone will receive next gen updates relatively quickly anyway. Plus no doubt stuff like cyberpunk/Tsushima/LOU2 will benefit from smoother frame rates and quicker load times.

I don't think there's been much console war nonsense in here at all. Only one user is notorious for it and he's on many peoples ignore lists.

I have 1 person on my ignore list. His user name is the same as an electronics manufacturer

And yet aren’t most of those PS4 exclusives “play once and never again “ going by the talk on here? Which console had the best version of nearly all multiplatform and service games?

The argument that Xbox has no games is as useless as the Tflops one. And don’t throw PC in as an excuse because not everyone wants/has one.

I will own both for what it's worth.

I'm getting Series S purely as game pass device with my PC upstairs.

PS5 for Sony exclusive, I would still arque Xbox has lack of killer games but gets by due to game pass.

People should just buy what there happy with, the whole consol wars thing is pointless

 

[McPhee]

Honesty the tf is such a pointless arguement, Xbox one X is more powerful than PS4 pro but it didn't have the exclusive games so didn't matter how much more power it had the games weren't there

That's a somewhat skewed argument in itself though. One X launched after a slew of studio closures and sell-offs. At the time, Xbox Game Studios consisted of 343, Turn 10, Rare, The Coalition, and Mojang. Given they're now at 23 studios, the past isn't likely to be much indication of the future.

Pretty much this.

My SO has always had Xbox so she's getting a nice upgrade on her release Xbox One and I've traded my ps4 pro for the ps5.

We've both got accounts on eachothers consoles and get to enjoy games from both catalogues.

If it were just me I'd probably have done what you did.

You could be totally misunderstanding him... he may well be a bit of a discoverer, a trailblazer a discoverer even!

 

[Plainsong]

The discoverer has been remarkably quiet lately.

Got my PS5 pre-orders done
I have made up my mind not to upgrade my TV but to buy a gaming monitor 27inch + have about £550 to spend
What things do i have to look for ?

Seems a bit harsh on @Dyson. He's not that bad

Don't reference him or it'll encourage him back into the thread!

I was wondering who you were all talking about........then I looked on my ignore list!

Fully paid for mine last night with Currys. Excite!

And still 3 weeks and 6 days to wait! Boo!

At least the next 2 weeks should be nice with more info, units in the hands of media etc.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Excited for Digitalfoundry to get their hands on a unit.

Yeah, I'm just glad I pre-ordered ready for the inevitable lockdown . Next 3 weeks will go super quick as well.

My Currys pre-order number was around 6,000 so I'm hoping I'll get it launch day, equally not fussed if I get it within that week. It appears I have way more patience than your average 3080 purchaser...

 

[Noxia]

Talking of lockdown prep. I now have FFVIIR, Nier A, and Ghosts of thinhywotsit.

I'll be subbing to boomerang and renting AC and or Watchdogs

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

I sold my pro before lockdown in anticipation of the prices dropping when everyone tries selling theirs before PS5 launch.

On boomerang I have Crash 4, Starwars, Mafia, Kingdoms of Amalur, PGA2k21, Ghosts of Tsushima, FFVIIR, Last of Us Part 2 to play as well as all the new games due in November and beyond. I want to replay Horizon Zero Dawn as well. I am going to have a blast with PS5.

DF mentioned in a new vid I watched yesterday that they have a ton of content scheduled over the next couple of months - so much that they don't quite know how to fit it all in. It's going to be very interesting. Can't wait.
