The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

If you're apprehensive about it, just wait for a good sale.

Yeah I think this is what I’m going to do, I’ve had most of the story and ending spoiled for me now. LOVED the first game and it’ll always have a special place in my heart but I don’t know if the sequel was ever going to live up to it (Sidenote: I honestly never liked the idea of a sequel in the first place).

Maybe I’ll buy the inevitable remastered version on PS5 in a few years.

Hmmm

What's that price gonna be?

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony counters Microsoft and comes in at $399 disc PS5 and $299 digital PS5.

GoT reviews are looking pretty average, shoulda stuck with my gut... but hopefully I can get into it.

Don't trust those reviews. They give polarizing joints like Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding super high scores and actual half decent games middling type scores.

If you're hesitant about the game, wait about 2-3 months and there'll be a promo for $39.99 or similar.

IMO

Digital - $399
Regular - $499

Sometimes when I see people complain (not that it isn't warranted sometimes) I realize that I am not a "hardcore" gamer at all. Like I see people complain about how they will not play Ghost because the subtitles are too small or that the voice acting isn't up to par etc. and I'm just like ???

Yea gamers complain about everything. This is why AA games are no longer a thing because everyones expecting every game to be AAA as if every studio has unlimited budget.

Look at the last negative in the Gamespot review

Lip sync complaints I get but bamboo! C'mon son

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony counters Microsoft and comes in at $399 disc PS5 and $299 digital PS5.

I think you need to add $100 each to both of those

 

[Sinner]

Bamboo.

Is it worth playing TLOU2 knowing the Joel and Abbey spoilers and whatnot? I LOVED the first game on PS3 but basically had the story spoiled for me, like many others. Debating playing it since, like many others, I HATED the spoilers. Any thoughts?

Yes, whether you liked the story/plot or not, the journey and experience was still a lot of fun. Plus, the game looks amazing.

PS5 Production Is Ramping Up, And Sony Could Have 9-10 Million Ready By Launch

Sony is reportedly going to order 3 million more PS5 consoles than previously expected due to an increase in demand related to COVID-19.

www.google.com

I thought the virus and possible upcoming recession was the reason why they were going to reduce production but with the way switches and PS4's have been selling looks the data is showing otherwise.
Demand must be huge to increase production by 50% for a console that's meant to be more expensive than the PS4.

Working from home plus Covid plus winter is like the perfect storm for launch from the sounds of it.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Now we wait for pre-orders to be announced.

I don't see SONY even giving MS 1 day of a head start for that, IMO.

 

[Platinum State]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony counters Microsoft and comes in at $399 disc PS5 and $299 digital PS5.

No way its that cheap. 349-399$ digital, 449-499$ disk.
299$ is a pipe dream. The PS2 launched for 299$ 20 years ago for crying out loud

When is MS announcing the price/preorders?

 

[D Double]

When is MS announcing the price/preorders?

Probably on the 23rd at their event.
Rumours said Series X was meant to release in September I think but Covid altered plans.

I honestly did not like how the original ended, which is why I think I am enjoying the sequel more, because half of the characters "feel" the same way I did about what Joel did. He deserves what he got.

The Last of Us 2 is dope. I already have the SE preordered, otherwise I would have waited for a sale.

What a 3D Streetfighter could look like.

 

[Bad Religion]

Apparently this appeared on a Sony promotional advert. May be fake, but even so.... that colorway is perfect.

 

[Ricky D]

I think that color way was already reported as fake but you never know. I’d cop that one for sure if it was real.

 

[D Double]

Yea that's been debunked.
You can see it has the blue lights from the non photoshopped pic.

They just used this mockup

 

[Bad Religion]

Ah. Well I can still hold out hope we see it down the line.

 

[Ricky D]

We’ll get something different for the PS5 Pro

 

[thegrandpuba26]

Well aren’t they saying it’s supposed to be the most “customizable” console?

 

[vood99]

Nah my G mr j 858 these cats are massive corporations out to make money.

If anything the PS4/Pro hardware could see a (significant) price drop as they look to reduce inventory.

 

[Fozz]

I'm just going to play GoT on normal and then take another stab at Sekiro. If I can't make it past the first boss, I'm deleting it forever

I'm going to play GoT with hopes one of the bosses or allies is Tom Cruise from Last Samurai.
