Poll: *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

[Mark1989]

If companies are forced into loot box changes which reduces there income Im convinced that will be the excuse to increase game cost.

Imagine if ea lost even a third of there ultimate team income, bet that there standard FIFA version disc or digital went up by £10 minimum

Not a fan of the PS5 white to be honest , are playstation planning to release any other colours on launch day ?

Yeah white only on launch, there has been mention of limited editions etc but those won't be on launch.

 

[Zefan]

they;ve been using the same game and engine for several years for the likes of FIFA, NFL, NFS, Battlefield, Star Wars etc.

Well, Frostbite has had three different major version revisions since its original release in 2011, and they're paying to develop it and/or it's successors. It isn't like they just make an engine and then that's "engine" costs over.

Really? That seems silly. I'd actually consider not getting a PS5 until a black one comes out if that is the case. A white one will look stupid in my room.

Not silly really, having two skus already is likely some extra work never mind adding black and having four to deal with.

While it was used in multiple games since then. Plus, the team was working on it (bugs and such), updating it since then (features), was just doing its job either way.

Same. I'll hold out for a black, likely digital, version. A killer game at launch might sway that.

Yup! I'm pre ordering so be nice to know what funds ill blow or how much credit card will be destroyed by haha

If that date is true, sounds like they are trying to pre-empt Xbox with their announcement, scheduled for the week after. I wasn't expecting this info until late August/early September. But there're also rumours Microsoft might launch in late August/early September!

I can't find the bloke on twitter now as I can't recall his name, it's same guy who leaked date for June event

Of course doesn't mean he is right again could have been lucky guess before

I mean, it’s silly having white as the only colour available. Most entertainment centres are black so surely that’s the sensible option. Traditionally black consoles have always come first then white is released for the niche that want it.

Also, given the current political climate, only releasing a white one is a very brave and very bold statement from Sony.

What? Are we saying electrical goods could now be racist?

The Xbox One S was white only to start with and no one cared how is a PS5 that's white going to cause political unrest?

 

[McPhee]

There's always someone hunting for something to bw offended about. While it takes some serious mental gymnastics to conclude that it's racist to only release a white console, I have no doubt that some people will manage to convince themselves it's true

Fortunately, I don't think the rest of society has quite caught up to that point yet.

 

[ic1male]

The middle bit is black, so that’s the end of that argument. Oh no, what about brown colour?

pro trolling, maybe Sony is pro white power

lol, the quality of the Console section on this forum is at a all time low it would seem.
