The Official PlayStation 5 Thread: Age Of The PS5 Pro

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

Just in time for Returnal

I don't really have any idea what this game is.

Not a big deal yet but I can see the internal storage capacity being a problem soon.

Any recommendations for expandable storage for the PS5?

I feel like at this point you might as well just wait for SSD

It's 2021, not 1996, brehs. I realize old habits die hard, but the overwhelming majority of electronics are designed today to remain in a low power state. The only time turning off a desktop/laptop (if it's charging) or a console in 2021 makes most sense is when there's bad weather which can cause power outages and electrical damage as a consequence. Not having to wait for updates, being able to install games while 45 miles away from home and have them ready to play when I walk in, & being able to pick up exactly where I left off are valuable commodities. Outside of traveling to and from university & home -- and the occasional power outage -- I kept my PS4 in Rest Mode for six years. It's okay, brehs. Tech has and will continue to evolve.

where I live it's severe storm season & the power can go out but still, my old habits will die hard...I got enough patience to wait for whatever to download or update when I'm home

Will be interesting to see what happens after Returnal/Ratchet release. Guessing we get a big state of play in September after MS have had their E3 event with:

-> Horizon 2 (will have to come end of 2021)
-> GT7
-> Naughty Dog Stuff - Factions and TLOU Remake
-> New IP - maybe whatever Arrowhead are working on.
-> FFXV shyt
-> God Of War 2 for the finish

Factions and Horizon will be the big end of 2021 games. TLOU Remake is the big surprise but it's already been revealed.

Factions probably a 2022 game

Sony will def not go without their own event in June. I think the Sony conference will be end of June or early July. Factions and HZD2 are def the big fall/winter games this year. Which is cool with me, a big multiplayer game and a big open world adventure/rpg. You also have to take into account the 2nd party releases like Kena, Sifu, Ghostwire, Deathloop, Stray, Little Devil Inside.....and we’ll probably get a surprise game in the mix somewhere. Either something that we thought was getting pushed back or something unannounced.

All in all this has been a pretty goat first year of a console launch, i don’t really think anything compares aside from maybe teh switch first year.

From november 2020-2021:

• Spider-Man Miles Morales
• Demon’s Souls
• Astro’s Playroom
• Sackboy: A Big Adventure
• Destruction All-Stars
• MLB The Show
• Returnal
• Ratchet & Clank A Rift Apart
• Factions 2
• Horizon Zero Dawn Forbidden West

Dunno breh. Early 2022 already looked congested with FF15, God of War and GT7.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Naw no way, they been working on it since TLOU2 been in production and the numerous leaks over the last two weeks suggest they’re in the polishing phase of it and that the main naughtydog team are already in pre-production of their next game

You need to buy a surge protector for your expensive electronics. All my consoles, computers, and TV's are plugged into surge protectors.
