I personally thought it looked utterly awesome.

The console looks quality to me. Can't wait.

They aren't slots they are LED.

Ah, OK. I guess one is for power, the other for disc access? Which why there is only one on the digital edition.

Can't wait to see the iFixit video of it. Makes the XSX look teeny!

Not bad the console I'm sure will be awesome but I won't get one for s few years as most of those games will no doubt come on pc.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Right. Next thing I want to know is the backwards compatibility facts and figures.

 

[t@xman]

Looks absolutely hideous! Reminds me of those cheap NXZT gaming PC cases that you can buy........and not too far off that size too. Hopefully it'll have a solid base, otherwise the cat will be knocking it over all the time.

So where are we at with Bloodborne 2, or Bloodborne remaster, is that not happening?

 

[ic1male]

At least there should be stock available on launch day, if no-one is going to buy the digital edition except me and a handful of others.

I'm wondering if the stories of a Demon's Souls remaster, and BB coming to PC were conflated, and people thought both were being remastered for PS5??

 

[VincentHanna]

I'm surprised they didn't show the next God of War.

Horizon looks incredible, and I really loved the first game (and expansion) but a lot of the other games were a bit "meh"

Graphics are good, but it's the same old, same old a lot of the time.

Im still boggled they led with GTA5.

the XBSX is using a stacked split motherboard AFAIK and looks like the PS5 is using a more traditional single board.

 

[cu3ed]

That is already debunked.

Except one will be cheaper without the disc drive.
Remember when sony made a thing about making a video about sharing games by handing a disc from one person to the other and not having to be "digitally on" all the time?

Yeah, I'd say there isn't much in it, volume wise.

And if anyone else was wondering about Hitman III -

The World of Assassination trilogy is fully realised with HITMAN 3 and we are establishing our new game as the ultimate place to play all three games. Players of our previous HITMAN games will be pleased to know that it will be possible to ‘import’ locations that they own from the previous two HITMAN games into HITMAN 3, essentially putting all 20+ locations from the entire trilogy in one place.

Can't wait to throw someone off the Burj Khalifa.

 

[GGizmo]

Well that presentation didnt go well imho.

The console looks bizarre. Unless the case is designed that way for some practical reason it seems longer than it needs to be.

No killer games really, a couple looked good.

GTA 5 now going to be on 3 consoles. What a silly thing to do. Rockstar really dropped the ball with RDR2 - online mode.

 

[ic1male]

A next-gen version of Control will also be available. I'm gonna wait as my PC won't cope as well as PS5.

I don't mind the design of the console per-se, it's the colour that I have a real problem with. I can't imagine that many people have white tech in their home cinema setup, surely going with an all black colourway would have been the smart/safe choice?

Also, beyond HZD2 I can't really say that anything wowed me and considering that didn't have a release date, I think my chances of getting a PS5 at launch are very low.
