So looks like there will be nothing to get at launch and 2021 is when games will actually start coming out for it.

Yes, though for me the stuff announced on PS plus at launch is what makes me think I will get one sooner. ...it's almost like it was tailored for those of us that skipped a generation, and mostly 2, really, by making a lot of previous gen content instantly available, for very cheap.
I like that...but I agree that's pretty lame for a lot of people. A lot of games I don't care about, but Demon's Souls looks good (never played any of the Dark/Demons souls games...are those the same thing?), and FF XVI looks really good. I surprisingly liked FF XV a lot (on PC), and this looks to be based on that design and play style, so I'm down for more of that. They seem to have abandoned the emo stuff that took over the PS generation games.
The PS5 rendered stuff...didn't look that much different from what is out current generation, does it? Lighting improved a bit, I guess? But textures--especially faces--look pretty flat (referring to spidey game) and maybe a bit below what we've already seen in games in recent years? I know it's not fair to judge on these videos, and it's also probably just the trend of how each generation, while improving, seems to be less and less of a leap in overall experience. :\
I like the price though. Pretty much what I assumed, and also was already prepared for $100 more
Miles Morales is releasing on PS4 also.
Where is the storage expansion? Do you need to take a panel off or something? Well hidden...
They even said that there is an "upgrade path" for people who buy it on PS4 and later upgrade to a PS5 console. Whatever that means. If it means you can download the PS5 title if you own it on PS4, that's cool I guess. A lot of the art and effects were done to take more advantage of the PS5 hardware but from what the presentation showed, it wasn't anything really amazing. That said, it wasn't in HDR and was limited to 1080p
I mostly game on PC. I had a PS2 back in the day. Since then I've had a 360 and a One, both free (one a gift, the other an award). I rarely play anything on the One, mostly just a few games that don't have PC-based DRM (e.g. Fractured But Whole, when it released with Denuvo on PC). The 360 isn't even hooked up anymore. The kids mostly play on the Switch, and the Wii before that.
There's no way I'll buy the new Xbox. It brings absolutely nothing to the table for me.
I might get the PS5, will have to research the differences between the low- and high-end models. If it's like the Xbox, where the low-end next gen can't run prior-gen games because it's gimped then no way. But if it's the function equivalent to the high-end PS5 then I might spring for that. I don't care about launch titles because I've missed EVERYTHING of the PS3 and PS4 eras, so I'd have a lot of catching up to do.
In the last month I've sat through:
1. NVidia announcement
2. AMD commercials
3. Apple product day
4. Sony Playstation 5 event
So many underwhelming events with disappointing products on showcase. I'm not convinced I should waste any money on anything. So boring. Products I wanted to see were not shown.

I've never watched a Google IO day in my life. What's going on with the P5 anyway? I saw a quick take on Linus' channel about that a month back but couldn't figure out nor did I want to at the time, why they chose a lower end processor. The Pixels are neat, but I don't want bare Android.ou forgot #5. Google's upcoming disappointing pixel 5 release which is basically a downgrade processor wise compared to their last year's 4XL phone. I'm sticking with my 4XL.
2020 has been a crap year lol. Although I may get a 3090 becuause I want to run cyberpunk maxed out and not worry about upgrading for another 3 years.
That's what I thought as well, but then the Xbox was announced with legitimate hardware differences affecting compatibility. Also, I remember seeing something about PS compatibility not being as encompassing as they had first let on. I've not done any real research for answers though, this was just my knee jerk reaction to the announcement(s) today.The only real difference is digital-only version vs disc drive. I *think* the backwards compatibility will be digital function mostly, but I could be wrong...I think it was more or less confirmed that PS4 discs, at least, for the most part (maybe not the earliest, pre-Pro era titles) will work on the PS5 drive.
Really? I was under the impression it was PS5 exclusive.
Horizon Forbidden West also...

I thought I read somewhere that they promised BC for the 100 most popular PS4 games.there still seems to be a lot that has not been confrmed. For one, I thought the hardware was all confirmed some weeks ago, but reading today's posts, that seems to not be the case?
Early on, there was a lot of talk about "full backwards compatibility," and then that was officially revised to "selective backwards compatibility." I think most interpreted that to mean releases that came after a certain time point in PS4--the Pro had different rendering guts, or something, right, so that could be an issue with emulation. But then, the PS4 was on GCN and PS5 and XBoxes are on RDNA2, so that, itself, should be it's own issue with BC. I'm starting to think that what they are calling backwards compatibility really means whatever they release in the digital store...which really isn't the same. If it can't play certain PS4 discs from ___ years ago, then that isn't backwards compatibility.
Friend said this is the first party launch lineup.
- Destruction All Stars (Lucid Games)
- Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Insomniac)
- Astro's Playroom (JAPAN Studio)
- Demon's Souls (Bluepoint)
- Ribits! Big Adventure (SUMO Digital)
If I don't get a PS5 preorder tomorrow I won't care.
If I do get one, I really doubt I will go through with it.
Looks like $70 is the new price going forward for games.
PlayStation 5 launches in November, starting at $399 for PS5 Digital Edition and $499 for PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Drive
New games announced at PS5 Showcase, including Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy, and a new God of War titleblog.playstation.com
I thought so too. It seems like one of those games that they were working on for old hardware and reworked a bit to launch around the time of a new console.
Want there something else about not full compatibility for hardware? Like, you could use a PS4 controller on a PS4 game but not on a PS5 game? And what happened to the compatibility/digital offerings of PS3 and prior games? Is that still a thing?They already announced that ps4 peripheral support is built in for ps4 titles. You can use ps4 fight sticks for example. I don’t imagine they would say this is games didn’t work.
