The Old Sony Megathread

[Bobfoc]

An advert on Twitch has stated that the postponed PS5 showcase will take place on Thursday 11th June.

An Amazon.com placeholder, which has since been removed, listed the PS5 and Xbox Series X at £599.99. People are suggesting it's a guess, but it's interesting to see.

[Meacon Keaton]

Ha. It better be a guess or else I rescind my “I’ll buy at launch” statement.

[Bobfoc]

I imagine we'll get the raw end of the exchange rate in the UK, so it would probably translate to $700 in the USA. It's high, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if it were accurate.

Anyone ever play Thief? Is it super difficult? It seems like it's something I would like and I suppose I should just try it since it's only $1.99

Just now, Your Mom said:

It's really a shadow of the game series that it used to be. It's pretty much on rails from what the older games in the series were, and the difficulty comes in the form of how janky the controls and systems in the game are. Even for $1.99 I think you could skip it.

[Your Mom]

I am so so excited for today. I don't have any idea what they will reveal but I am so ready to see all of it  

[Bobfoc]

Speaking of which, here's a stream:

It's got some IGN stuff beforehand, but the reveal starts at 9.00pm BST. That's in about two-and-a-half hours.

[Bobfoc]

GTA V again? Of course.

[GoGo Yubari]

Wellllll that's an real inauspicious opening.

[Your Mom]

Wasn't it on PS3? Fuck sake move on Rockstar

[King Ellis]

That seems a little odd to have as the first thing pop up on this OMG BRAND SPANKING NEW NEXT GEN SYSTEM, yet another version of a game that came out during the PS3/360 era. Granted it is one of the biggest franchises around, the online probably does mega bux and RS probably slipped them some money for the position but eh...

[Bobfoc]

Is this Infamous?

[GoGo Yubari]

If the Miles Morales game is a full game, that's a cool announcement. One of these days I'm gonna actually play the PS4 Spider-Man game.

[Your Mom]

NEW SPIDEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobfoc]

As much as I respect Gran Turismo, it hasn't done anything for me since the first one. It was amazing seeing real cars rendered somewhat realistically in 1997, but it all feels so clinical now.

[Your Mom]

Holy hell I just mentioned this a minute ago on twitter and here it is!  Ratchet and Clank!

[King Ellis]

It's interesting that they're able to do something like that, take the engine they established in the first Spider-Man game and do a sequel that's not quite a sequel? Like, with all the stories in comics with different people taking a heroes title or alternate universes or whatever, I don't know if that's been done before. I know they've had multi Spideys in other games, like that one that had like a neo noir Spidey, a future one etc.

Also, new R&C! I feel like that kinda disappeared during the PS4, I mean they had that one out around the time of the movie, can't remember if that was a reboot or a remake?

EDIT: My body is ready for the gamer tears from female Ratchet.

[Bobfoc]

I feel as though I'm missing out a little bit here. My internet speed isn't great, so I'm not able to stream in HD. Any nice new graphics are going to be difficult to make out.

[Your Mom]

I'm so happy right now  Hope this is a launch title
