Any early talk of what they’re going to be promoting?

I know virtually everyone is fed up of GTA5, but I've recently got back into playing it a bit on PS5, and I'm interested to know what the updates are going to be on the ps5 version

I know right.

Ps5 actually feels old now, and weak, in comparison to the new computer I just built.

By the time the things are on the shelves, they'll be proper average boxes, with ps6 knocking on the door.

These type of comments always make me smile. People will look a components, and imagine somehow that is all there is to power.

The reality is, a weak computer programmed properly, will outperform a powerful computer programmed poorly.

People choose consoles over PC for many reasons. Not least of which is convenience. Sony also have some of the best programming talent in the gaming industry. couple with fixed hardware. there are things the PS5 can do that, are much harder to do on PC.

I used to game on PC, BTW.

I know what you mean Amiga.

I primarily game on PS4 pro, but recently built a gaming rig and my old one was from 2009.

The kit inside the ps5 is already at least a year old, and it's impossible to even buy one.
My point was by the time these things are readily available, the components inside them will not be very powerful - which is when Sony will most probably release a ps5 pro that will also be impossible to get your hands on.....

Might be a blessing though if they release a slimmer version in the mean time that I was reading about the other day. That and I think both will go to more iterations from this point on.

My friend get out your bubble

A PS5/Series X sits around the same space as maybe the top 20% of gaming PCs (these are the ones kitted out with 2070s or better and top tier SSDs and semi decent CPUs). You need to realise that "proper" gaming PCs make up a pretty tiny proportion of the PC gaming market - the most numerous card in "gaming" pcs atm is a 1060, followed by a 1050, a 1660, a 2060 and a 1650.....

So yes Vs the top 1% of gaming PCs the PS5 will lose ground quickly (but so do all gaming PC ) but at the price point and Vs the more numerous gaming systems it's going to be among the most powerful easily for the next 2+ years, and even then it's gonna be able to keep up as for the first time every a console launched with either comparable or better (SSDs in both are better than the vast majority of gaming PCs) so will have much better longevity than previous.

BTW I don't mean the above in a bad way - I used to be the same, I lived, worked, and played in an echo chamber and then I saw more of the numbers and realized I was actually in the minority, and when you see also the min and recommend spec they are generally much lower than high end PCs.

Dangerous and never ending game, chasing the highest specs.

Particularly when a lot of the best games out there don’t need much to play at all anyway!

Just watched the showcase, some decent stuff showed off tonight including new footage from god of war 2 And Spider-Man 2 announced although not till 2023 at the earliest

been meaning to play kotor guess ill wait

insomniac also doing Wolverine

Wolverine was the biggest surprise for me. I mean as impressive as Spiderman, God of War etc might be.

For Wolverine to come to Playstation, is a huge coup for Sony.

i want dismemberment!

Interestingly, wolverine and Spider-Man 2 will be exclusive to PS5. Not being done for PS4 which in a way is good as they can focus getting the best out of current gen. just hope I can get a PS5 by 2023!

theres an app called hotstock that'll alert you when available

Isn't that because nobody can get their hands on any of the new RTX cards so the figures look that way .... If I could buy one for its normal price, I'd have one, but because I can't get one, I have a 1060 just like you said.
The rtx 2000 cards are already old now, very old in computing standards.

I know with consoles they can optimise games far more because it's for specific hardware as opposed to a PC, where every gamer has different hardware, much more difficult to develop for.

My point was, where do I buy a ps5? By the time I am able to buy a ps5, it'll be seriously old and by that time the ps5 pro will be out, which will also be impossible to buy.

This gen is a joke really, the companies making these things aren't doing anything to stop these people that tap masses amounts up with bots or scripts before any normal human can click once.

I'll probably skip this entire gen if the situation doesn't improve in the next couple of years and to be honest it doesn't look like it's going to improve any time in the near future.

depends on when the semiconductor companies get everything sorted out

Nope has always been like this - the main gaming cards always goes mid tier (##50/##60), then integrated graphics and then top end GPUs

And it depends when you decide to buy a PS5, mine is coming this week ordered from a high street store at MSRP. And guess what it's gonna be better than 80-90% of gaming PCs.

You buy one in a year's time it's still going to be good.

Apart from the scalping this is the best generation of consoles we have ever had, and you buy a PS5 over a PC for the same reasons you have always bought a PlayStation and that's for the best exclusives and it seems that is continuing again this generation also.

Again yes it's not gonna hold up to a £2000 gaming PC that gets upgraded every few years, but that £1000 pre build it's gonna spank, and guess what in 5 year's time it's still gonna be running games comfortably at 1440p/60, and that pre build will either be spare parts or struggling to run the same games.

What store ?!?!?
