The Old Sony Megathread

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

More Spiderman related news via Geoff Keighley:

If the picture is legit then there's a remaster of the first game coming too.

Destruction All-Stars is a launch title too, wouldn't surprise me if that was the launch PS+ offering.

Miles Morales isn’t a full new game, right?

[tristy]

People have compared it to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Smaller in scope than the original game, but still a full game.

[Ruki]

I've pre-ordered it.

[tristy]

Horizon Forbidden West, like Miles Morales, is also coming to PS4. So there goes a lot of my need for a PS5 right out of the gate.

[Bobfoc]

That's surprising in light of Sony's comments about PS5 games being exclusive right from the start because they "believe in console generations". Still, it's a welcome surprise.

[Baddar]

I know there'll be people who are interested in the launch lineup so buying it then seems worth it, but I've seen nothing that makes me think that I need to buy it on release. It's similar to the PS4's launch in that a lot of the games/bundles on offer were also released on the previous gen.

My missus will keep tabs on that Hogwarts game, but even that is coming out on current gen consoles.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I might leave it until Christmas / early 2021 given how limited the pre-orders are going to be,

[Bobfoc]

I think I'll wait for some sort of bundle. Buying the console on its own is expensive enough without having to fork out considerably more for the games as well. The Plus collection thing is great for people who missed out on the PS4, but I'm not one of those people.

[Baddar]

How much better are those PS4 games going to look if you don't have a 4K TV, or if you were already playing them on a 4K TV? Or are they just going to run much quicker?

I would say if you haven't gotten a PS4Pro, the only difference is that it ups the framerate from 30 to 60, so things feel smoother and less chunky to look at, especially faster movements become a whole lot easier on the eyes.

I'm sure they'll also gussy things up a little bit, but don't expect a gigantic leap forward in pure graphical qualities because you'll still be running it through a FullHD television.

So basically, if you're getting a PS5 to play PS4 games on a FullHD TV, really only go in expecting a doubled framerate in line with the PS4Pro.

I'm excited for this but definitely willing to wait for now, especially with the Spider-Man stuff coming to PS4.

I'll see how the digital vs physical consoles play out too. I'd be hesitant to go fully digital but the price difference is pretty big.

I've been basically 'full digital' since really late in the PS3 life cycle...the disc drive in my PS3 died so I went download only.  

Honestly I've found no real disadvantage.  Granted, you lose out on used games, but some of those games, the sales on PSN even it out.  There have been a few games I've bought the physical copies of, like LEGO Dimensions, but otherwise I really haven't felt like I've "lost out" on anything, aside from physical bonuses 

[Chris2K]

I grabbed a digital version preorder from Amazon, went back 2 minutes later and it was already sold out. Really looking forward to it though!

[DavidMarrio]

On one hand, I want it from day one. 

On the other hand, should probably wait till Christmas when there'll be more stock more than likely 

[Bobfoc]

Demon's Souls, Destruction AllStars and Miles Morales Ultimate Edition will cost £69.99 each. The standard edition of Miles Morales is £51.99 and Sackboy: A Big Adventure is £59.99. That's a big reason why I'm not ready to restrict myself to an all-digital console.

[DavidMarrio]

They seem to have cocked up with the pre-orders as apparently it they went up on a lot of websites without any warning despite the plan being we'll announce a date for pre-orders

[Gabriel]

I am more than happy to go all digital moving forward. Used games can be cheaper sometimes, but the PS Store puts stuff on sale all of the time, and they hit ridiculously low prices on a regular basis.

I don't really have the time to be buying and playing games when they first drop anyways, so waiting for a good sale price doesn't really bother me.

Thinking, not sure WHY I've done this. Currently there are no games at launch that I'm super excited about, and if I wait a few months I might be able to nab a bundle. Maybe because I have already saved the money and like shiny and new things?

[Maxx]

So a console without a disc drive is $100 less, but digital games are still going to be up to $70?
