Hey there.
So, as we all know, the next generation of video-game consoles will begin at the end of this year, with both the release of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. Xbox did their reveal a while ago and Sony did theirs around last week. Of course, both companies still have a good deal of information to share regarding the pricing, the UI of the console, stuff like that.
Sony, as with Microsoft, has revealed their hardware-specifications and hardware-designs for both consoles, but they both haven't revealed the pricing yet, which is actually sparking some heavy debate(And also being the gateway to a lot of memes). I'm not sure about Microsoft as I've never owned an Xbox, but I do know for a fact that the new Xbox will be supporting backwards-compatibility with both the 360 and the One/One X. Sony on the other hand, has revealed many amazing games for the new PlayStation(Aside from an "enhanced" version of GTA V for some reason. Talk about showing-off next-gen, huh?) There is no doubt of course, both consoles will bare great games, with Sony winning on exclusivity and single-player franchises and Microsoft being the main contender in online-gaming.
But, we do still have 6 months to go until both consoles are released, so take this time to discuss any new and current details here in this thread. I'm looking forward to what all of you have to say. Also, if you are planning on buying either console, which one and why?
I myself, am definitely getting the PS5. I've always been a PlayStation person and the Xbox just doesn't seem to appeal to me. But, aside from that, I'm hyped for the PS5. Backwards-Compatibility with most of my PS4 games, is definitely a winner in the books for me. The sleek and minimalist design of the new console is also what appeals to me and while it does look like a Wi-Fi router as many people are putting it as, I would also say the design also bares some kind of resemblance to the PS3(Which I still own and play to this day). The controller still kind of looks the same to me, aside from changes in width, height, and breadth, but hopefully it's still comfy in the grip of somebody's hand. I've only checked out two trailers and that's for the new Ratchet & Clank game and the new Little Big Planet game. I've been waiting for a new LBP game for a while ever since 3, but this isn't really it. It will be something to pass the time with anyway. The new Ratchet & Clank game looks interesting too and that's actually how I ended up getting into the series on my PS4 by buying the 2016 remaster of the original game(Which has so far, been not bad but not great either) - Apparently though, it's a sequel to Into The Nexus(From 2013), and so I definitely need to catch-up on the Future series before I jump into the new one. Of course, more games are going to be revealed overtime and more details about games that have been shown, will be released by the developers of these games, which can further hype up the games. I definitely intend on checking out the other game trailers later, so that will be fun. The only thing that turns me off from the PS5, is the built-in microphone. As a privacy-freak, I really don't like that, but I'm sure there will be an option to disable it. If there isn't, then I doubt I'll be playing an online-game for along time on the 5 until such a feature is available. Either way, again, I'm hyped for the new PlayStation.
