Gaming PlayStation 5

Theyre a porting specialist so I imagine Sony are going full whack on those remasters. Not a bad thing.

Or demasters - putting PS5 games on PS4.

Housemarque and Bluepoint seem like really good buys.
 
I wish they would bring back Infamous. Infamous Second Son is pretty average but the first and second games with Cole were unreal. Would love to play them again on a modern console.

Yeah I briefly played the first one and enjoyed it (though not long after I switched to a PS4 so couldn't continue it). I guess they think the superhero genre is covered by Spider-Man, though Infamous I'd say is different in that you can choose to go down a good/bad path (note: I've not played Spider-Man so for all I know he could be on top of buildings throwing rotten eggs at old ladies but I doubt it). I think there's room for both but Sucker Punch seem tied with Ghost.

Yeh Infamous is very different to Spiderman. Both good games in their own unique ways, but I preferred the gritty infamous world over the jovial, comedic Spiderman universe. The OG games kind of had a third person shooter feel to them (just with electricity out the hands) and then the odd powerful move thrown in. The new powers and character in Second Son just didn't do a good job of building on that. Also, I cried my eyes out at the evil ending of Infamous 2, poor Zeke!
 
They literally did that for PS3 so I think it's Konami who are the problem getting it done.

I didn't own it personally but it's a proper collection and has some cool extras like the digital graphic novels (they're on youtube).
Huh, I never knew about that collect. I bought the one that had MGS 2,3 and Peace walker. They really need to bring that collection to the PS5 or 4. Lot of people didn't play 4 because of its exclusive to the PS3. Least its on the ps now store. I'd still buy it if I could..

Yeah, I don't think it was marketed well and plus they'd just done the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection a year before it. I gather a lot of people (like myself) had already picked that up and probably already owned MGS4 and maybe even MGS1 through the e-shop. The only tangible exclusives were the two MSX games and MGS1:VR Missions (but that's not really a proper MGS).

It was a nice idea but undermined a little by Konami, which would become a theme from then on.

Edit - IIRC the original MGS game wasn't on the disc. You had to download it or something. Fans thought that was bad.

I thought 4 was basically impossible to rerelease? Cant remember the reason, something like the various sponsorships being impossible to renew or something weird.
 
Nice, Sony acquiring Nixxes confirming more how Sony will be porting tons of their exclusives to Pc.
 
I like how it used to be games getting advertised and shown off, now it's just "look what studio we have got" or "we've hired this dickhead".

Not arsed. Just give us game news.
 
It's fair enough not being excited by all this acquisition news (although I was over the moon about Insomniac). It's more of an XBox thing right? "Yay we bought such and such, lets have a circle jerk" "Winning!!11"

True, results are all that matters, and ultimately as long as we’re getting games I don’t really care about the logistics of who owns who.

Exactly, people won't reap the benefits of this stuff for years.

What really matters right now is that Sony already have plenty of great first part of studios that will be pumping games out in the immediate future and not a billion years when ES6 is ready.
 
I appreciate I'm probably the 1,000th person to be annoying and ask this in the thread, but how the feck does one buy a PS5? Is there a secret trick that most of you know, or is it just following the right twitter threads, setting notifications on and hurrying like mad once you get notified?

Twitter with notifications is your best bet, there seems to have been a bit more regular stock over the last few weeks but you still have to be quick and lucky to nab one.

These are mostly acquisitions that make a lot of sense and it's less about securing IPs exclusively. Since the start of the PS4 era, Sony published 5 of the 6 games released by Housemarque, the exception being Nex Machina which was also on PC (a route Sony seem to be exploring more anyway). It changes literally nothing in terms of the availability of the games but it reinforces their support of this studio. Nixxes didn't have that longstanding relationship with Sony but they also don't have a single IP of their own, so again this changes nothing to the availability of games. This is purely a talent acquisition.

Agreed...
 
Which is what exactly? A game that came out last year including all the DLC? Wow. Amazing. Can't wait.
You said give us game news. They did. They can’t announce new games every other week. I’d imagine there’ll be a State of Play event this month at some point where we will get more updates.

Follow stock trackers on twitter, they're usually on the ball. I got lucky and saw Argos trending because they were doing collection only on PS5s (Ratchet + Clank bundle). Ordered it around lunch time and picked it up at 4. Couldn't believe how easy it was :lol:

Cheers mate - fingers crossed!

I know it's not ideal, but I've seen a few in various CEX stores. They're listed at £750 which is well over RRP, but if you were considering the scalper route you'd pay more than that anyway.

It's going to be well into next year before PS5 are widely available.
 
As I read the tales of woe from those poor folk unable to buy a PS5, I glance to my left and look lovingly at my launch day PS5, sat there with it's soft yellow glow, just waiting for me to press the button...
 
It's arrived!

Will it load my saved game data from a PS4 game I have running (Miles Morales), or do I need to finish that on the PS4?
