More than I was for anything with Xbox, but I'd be a little more interested if we were also getting a system reveal.  At this point, I'm just hoping they announce a good launch game that will get me to jump in right away as the only other thing I'm looking for is if I can transfer my PS4 saves over as at that point, I'd just treat the system as just an upgrade from PS4.  I ain't switching over and losing my 400 hours in Monster Hunter World lol

So so, I am not excited about buying the console launch day because I am aware there is a high risk the console will have some serious factory flaws that could ended with a defective console that won't last many years just like a lot of the first units for the last generations of consoles.

I am not afraid of the console not having support from third parties, all Sony home consoles had a good support and the expectation for PS5 is high, hence I am sure I can expect a few years with a decent support.

I won't buy the console launch day, I think, and I think I have fewer options since the rumors are that the console most cheap model will be like 600$.

Some things never changes, Sony.

I would have been more hyped had Sony done a better job at rolling out info and teasers for this thing rather than toying with its fans. I was hyped several months ago, now I'm just mostly interested. That very well could change if they really hit it out of the park with the PS5, but at the moment I haven't heard or seen anything that I'm very excited about.

No, I'm not. I'm quite content with the PS4 still.

Were it just me, I probably would pass on the PS5 for its first two years or so, but, knowing my partner, we'll probably own one on launch day.

As the years have passed, I've found that my hype levels for anything don't really register as hype anymore. An eyebrow raising bit of excitement? Sure.... but not hype.

That said, with the June 4th PS5 event cancelled/delayed, it's good that I'm not hyped.

When they eventually start to show more, I'll become more interested. I'll probably end up with one at launch as I skipped the Pro. I expect the PS5 to be $500 as it would be suicide for them to launch higher than that. Same for Microsoft with the new Xbox. Anything above $500 is suicide with PS3 being the most recent example when they lost a massive chunk of market share.

We'll see what happens. Me buying at launch is dependent on what games will be available and what the end price will be.

I'm probably going to buy one at launch, but I wouldn't put too much stock into the launch titles. I feel like Sony has never had the greatest lineup of launch software, and it's a big reason why I held off on getting a PS4 until nearly 2-years after it was released. I bought a PS3 at launch ans sadly remember the best game being Motorstorm, which is excellent, but still it's not a system seller. I don't think the Model X will fair much better although they'll probably have a new Forza game or something to try and draw people in, and I know a new Halo is on the horizon too.

Yeah, launch titles can often be hit or miss. PS1 and PS4 both did ok on launch titles for me. PS2 and PS3 not so much. I loved Motorstorm but it wasn't until about a year after launch that both Uncharted and Assassin's Creed came out and the PS3's library really started to shine. PS2 didn't really grab my attention until Onimusha. PSP had a great launch lineup. PSV had Uncharted which was phenomenal and ironically my only really enjoyed game on the system. What a shame that handheld was.

I'll probably hold off on buying it for a while. Primarily because I only got my PS4 a couple years ago and I have a lot mileage left on that system

Title: Re: Are you hype?
Post by: kamikazekeeg on June 02, 2020, 05:12:22 pm

I'm just as hyped for stuff as I use to be, though I know to keep my hype more in check these days based on experience.  I'm very likely to buy a PS5 at launch just because it'll be an upgrade from the PS4, playing PS4 games better and I'll certainly take backwards compatibility that goes back to PS2 and PS3. 

I just want like one notable game at launch as their PS4 launch wasn't good at all and I also didn't pick up a PS4 till like 2 years later when I saw more games I was gonna like were releasing.  I had Bloodborne out, which was the biggest draw and stuff like Uncharted 4 were coming up in a few months, so it seemed like the perfect time for it.  I feel like the only notable launch lineups for me have been Nintendo systems as the Switch had that fantastic window of games with Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.  The other was the Wii, which had Twilight Princess, a game I really liked despite hating the controls.

While GTA5 was a lame start to the stream, going into a new Spider-Man with Miles Morales and have it be out this year...I'm pretty stoked, I'm up for more Spider-Man.  Spider-Man: Miles Morales.  That's a damn good launch game too lol. 

I'll keep updating this as it goes for folks not watching.

Grant Turismo 7.  Yup, it's a racing game.

New Ratchet and Clank game.  I never really got into this series and didn't play a lot of of that remake they did, but it looks cool.  Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Project Athia...Some crazy fantasy/super-hero-like game from Square-Enix.  Square has done this kind of crazy tech demo looking things before, so no clue if it becomes anything, but it would be cool if it pans out.

Stray.  No clue what this is.  Dystopian scifi world with robots and a real cat and I think you play as the cat with a cute little backpack lol.  2021.

Crazy looking scifi game, third person action shooter, with feeling of Edge of Tomorrow/Live. Die. Repeat with crazy alien creatures.  Returnal.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure.  Just seems to be a straight Sackboy platformer by Sumo Digital.  Seems fun.  4 Player co-op.

Destruction Derby by way of Rocket League.  This looks like it could be a fun game.  Destruction Allstars.

3rd person action-adventure with Pikmin elements called Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

Goodbye Volcano High...No clue what this, no gameplay, just some nice animation.  Cartoon dinosaur people.  Feels kinda like Night in the Woods to me with the tone of animal people going through real world stuff.

Oddworld Soulstorm.  Real good visuals, 2.5D setup similar to the original.

Finally getting something on Ghostwire: Tokyo.  Reminds me of like Evil Within, but more techy and first person, bordering horror and action.

Godfall gameplay.  Looks pretty cool I think.  The art style is pretty awesome.  Hopefully it pans out.  Out this year which is another great launch game.

From the creators of Hyper Light Drifter which is a good top down pixel art game.  This one is full 3D, Solar Ash, looks pretty cool.  2021.

Hitman 3.  January 2021.  Not much real details.

That little robot from the VR game is back.  Astro's Playroom.  Doesn't seem to be VR like the last one.

Little Devil Inside.  The feeling I got was like a monster hunter game with a crazy polygonal and kinda cute art style.  Like you took The Witcher/Monster Hunter and crossed it with an indie art style.  This could be cool if it turns out to play well as I don't think there was any gameplay.

Bugsnax...I don't know lol From the guys who did Octodad.

Thunder knocked out my power literally as the Demon Souls remake was being announced lol

Something about Deathloop from Arcane Lyon.

Holy shit, Resident Evil 8, gives Resident Evil 4 vibes with the settings, man it looks so good.  2021.  LETS GO.

Pragmata.  I have no idea what this is, crazy scifi game, gave off Death Stranding vibes...Capcom 2022.  I'm into it.

Just want to say, this showing is wild, it's fantastic.

New Horizon game!  Wild new setting, this is gonna be awesome.  Horizon 2: Forbidden West.

Damn, they went artistic with the PS5 console design.  It's slick, I'm okay with it.  Better than just a standard box design to me.  There's a disc-less digital version of the console also.  No price or release date on it other than this year.  I'm not against the white, I've had a white PS4 Pro for abit now, though I wouldn't mind other color options at launch.

Killer showing from Sony, they definitely nailed it way more than anything Xbox has done.  The only thing they didn't talk about was anything related to backwards compatibility.

Yeah was hoping for a price, but I'm gonna say that if they are offering a digital only version, that the main console will be 600 to 650, and the digital version will be 500 to 550.  That way the higher price tag doesn't seem as bad if people have the option to just go digital only and save some money.  Maybe more 600 for the full and 550 for the digital, but generally in that realm, though I think they are waiting for Xbox to announce their price first and perhaps have some wiggle room based on what they have.

Post by: redblaze57 on June 11, 2020, 06:26:42 pm

Eh honestly only 3 games really grabbed me. Ghostwire: Tokyo, Resident Evil 8 Village, and Horizon 2. I'm not a big Miles Morales fan so I'm not stoked about a Spider-man sequel/Spinoff starring him. The system itself... looks like a damn Router to me. Right now I'm in the wait for more games i want before i get either system... hell I might just wait fo a all black unit.

Title: Re: Are you hype?
Post by: ferraroso on June 11, 2020, 06:41:39 pm

Well...
I consider myself to be a fan of the PlayStation brand as a whole...
Having said that, I think this must be the ugliest videogame console I've ever seen...

Concerning games, I think the only ones I'm interested in purchasing for now will be Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon: Forbidden West.

Now, any news on backwards compatibility?

Post by: kamikazekeeg on June 11, 2020, 06:46:37 pm

Looking back, these were the standout games for me...

- Spider-Man: Miles Morales - This is one heck of a launch game.  Sure it's probably gonna be more of a "Spider-Man 1.5" than full blown sequel, but that's totally fine.  Don't need to fix what isn't broken and also not taking 5 years to make an all new game.

- Ghostwire: Tokyo - With this being a first person game, it's going to be a PC game for me, I don't do FPS on console anymore unless I'm forced to, but I love the horror/tech vibe it has and makes me feel like Evil Within, which is obvious from the developer, but that's the type of horror game I love.

- Demon Souls Remake - I thought the original game kinda sucked, it was horribly janky, the Souls series was always janky to some degree up till around Dark Souls 3, but if we get what is basically high quality Dark Souls 3 gameplay in that world, I'm all for it.

- Resident Evil 8 - This is also not a PS5 game for me, it's PC, but I'm super excited for this.  Resident Evil 7 is one of my favorite RE games alongside 4 and 2 Remake, so getting a setting reminiscent of Resident Evil 4, injecting some weird almost supernatural elements with werewolves (Odd choice, but better than the mold people from RE7), and Chris is pulling a Jill here and going bad, so we'll see how that goes.

Horizon 2: Forbidden West - The first game wasn't a favorite of mine, like it's a good open world game, but Breath of the Wild took over that year for me, and the first game had a few things that sorta annoyed me, but I liked it.  I'm planning to grab the PC release of it to play through it again and play the DLC I never touched.

These are the games I'm interested in, but need more to say for sure if I'll like them...

- Returnal - The "Live. Die. Repeat" setup is cool, alien world is neat, the third person bullet hell shooter gameplay was surprising, but I'm into whatever this may be.

- Godfall - With this, I sorta need to see more what the overall game will be, if it's more Diablo or more Destiny, but it looks good, the art style is cool.

- Destruction Allstars - I went from not really caring about the game, to absolutely caring about the game when it turned out to be crazy E-Sports level Destruction Derby game with hero characters, I'm very interest to see what it turns out to be, it reminds me of like Rocket League, but you just run around blowing up the other players lol

- Little Devil Inside - I'm mostly interested in this for what I THINK the gameplay will be, in that it's an action game you go hunt all these wild monsters as a hired mercenary, like Witcher meets Monster Hunter with a cutesie polygonal art style, but this game could end up being something completely different than that and be something I have no interest in, like it's just some basic top down hack and slash lol

- Pragmata - This is another I have no idea what is going on, it's Death Stranding levels of weird scifi, to the point I thought it was a Kojima game with the main character looking like Ludens, but instead it's some weird new Capcom IP.  I'm curious to know if it's a more action heavy game or if they are just gonna try something more on that Death Stranding level of it having unique gameplay and ideas that isn't just running around and shooting with guns.

I'm definitely on board for PS5 after this and there's still stuff I have to play on PS4 this year with Last of Us 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima.

The console design looks absolutely amazing.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was my favorite game shown and I also really like the FREE pre-installed 3D platfomer Astro's Playroom.

Stray I definitely have on my radar. Miles Morales game too but I haven't really got into the first game yet.

Sackboy game has quite a similar gameplay style to Super Mario 3D World and Knack II, not the most exciting but something I'd still pick up.

Bugsnax from the Octodad devs is one I'll have to see more of first.

I was excited for GhostWire but it lost my interest. I thought it would be more of an action adventure game in the vein of GTA.

Speaking of which the free million dollars every month until GTA launches on PS5 is a nice treat. Free GTA Online for PS5 is nice too.

Overall though I'd give the show a 10/10. They worked hard to show something for everyone and get lots of people on board early. Great presentation.

I can already see SO many Pre-owned PS5's having the white portion chipped and broken. It doesn't look particularly durable, not overly keen to be honest...

But what is more annoying is that we still haven't seen much regarding the console in-action. Kind of want to see the interface and of course know how they're handling backwards compatibility.

As for the games... the only one that I thought was interesting was Resident Evil 8...

Count me as another downvote on the design.  Looks super over-engineered.  The disc-less version is better, but the other one?  Woof.

As for the games:

They've already confirmed that Mile Morales is an expansion for Spider-Man and will be available on the PS4 as well.  Still wanna play it.

Resident Evil VIII.  That trailer turned me off in the first 30 seconds or so, because it was so just "generic horror" game.  My interest peaked when it started moving again at least.

Demon's Souls Remake.  I have the PS3 version and never played it, so maybe I should wait?

Horizon: Forbidden West.  Loved the first game, excited about this one.  Looks incredible.

New IPs

Returnal sounds interesting.  Maybe should have workshopped the name some more.

Stray looks fun, but is already listed for PC elsewhere.

Ghostwire: Tokyo, continue to color me intrigued.

Pragmata I thought was a Kojima game at first.  Which is not a good thing coming from me.

Deathloop still not doing it for me for some reason, and I loved Prey.

Project Athia has my interest, too.

All that said, nothing about this made me feel like the PS5 is all that significant of a leap forward.  Tentatively interested would be my level.

Title: Re: Are you hype?
Post by: telekill on June 12, 2020, 11:34:27 am

I'm pretty excited. I'll be preordering (if I can) the normal version with a disc drive. I think that the design is pretty interesting. Looks like an unbuttoned tuxedo when vertical.

Games I'm looking forward too are Horizon, Oddworld, Athia, Kena and a handful of others. Lots of great games shown.

It's a bad sign that they didn't reveal it.  I suppose they didn't want to cause any strokes when they reveal it. But it's a bad foreshadowing.

Post by: pzeke on June 13, 2020, 09:55:10 pm

I'm not feeling the design of the console, if I'm being honest, but the game lineup seemed good; there were some definite highlights for sure. Not going to speak individually of each, but I will definitely say Resident Evil lost me again, as I'm not really a fan of the first-person dynamic the series has adopted; it's just not my cup of tea.

Anyway, it'll be 5-6 years until I get it, so to the early adopters, enjoy the console.
