Topic	Playstation 5 full reveal probably on June 4th
Lightning Strikes 05/20/20 12:30:09 PM #14:	As for my opinion: What we have seen from next gen has been a colossal disappointment thus far. Sony have bungled almost everything they have shown so far - even accounting for the technical talk being intended for a GDC audience rather than a general audience, the content was somewhat underwhelming. The controller looks terrible and every announcement such as the initial reveal has been done in a very slapdash way. Microsoft had seemed on the ball, but then they really messed up with the "gameplay reveal" - though to be fair I suspect this is due to a lack of E3 interfering with their plans. More than that, when I look at the potential lineup (the first year or two at least will be cross-gen) I struggle to find any titles that either make sense or have reliable rumours that make either platform an enticing proposition. If Sony come out and just say "here's Horizon 2 next year also we'll make new Spider-Man and God of War games eventually" that's nothing given how long in advance Sony announces games. To say nothing of Sony's increasing PC presence (you'd expect at least the next Horizon to get a PC version right?). Microsoft may well have a stronger lineup but all of that will definitely be on PC. So what's the point? Then there are the third party games - cross-gen Assassin's Creed and CoD aren't that enticing proposal, and then you have to account for the pandemic being expected to hit games launching next year. And if the rumoured prices are correct - $500 each and potentially $550 for the PS5, in the current climate you really have to wonder if a new console generation right now would be all the great an idea. I wasn't super jazzed about the last gen going into it, but the presentation was much slicker and more effective, and you had that much greater demand than there is now. This time the announcements feel all over the place (even pre-pandemic) and the demand just doesn't feel like it's there in the same way. Maybe the best thing might actually be to delay the launch of these systems until next year after all. Of course I say this but the software showcases might end up wowing us all and turning it around! Maybe the lineups will be amazing! I certainly don't want to be negative, I'd love that. But right now it does need to be turned around. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:939444225] in Playstatio...
