Case by case probably means the opposite of that. It's probably a factor of how much will this sell vs how much will it cost to make it multi-platform. The make ES6 it'll be multi platform, they make a Duke Nukem game it'll probably be exclusive to PC/Xbox. Maximize revenue and give people the choice of paying $70 for a desirable game or $299 (S) + Game Pass, $500 (X) + Game Pass or $800 (PC) + Game Pass.wangus12 said:

Think you'll see the cost of the Series S in the $200 range within 2 years of launch.
Either way, as long as TES and Fallout are moddable, you're robbing yourself if you don't get it on PC, unless console modding gets better.
Has to be fake. They can't even make enough of the regular ones right now.
Damn... will have to decide whether to go PC or get an Xbox.
I also agree that the case by case means which will make the most money. If you take into consideration the many gamers who can't afford 2 systems, I think Xbox would rather make money off of them by making those massive titles multi-platform instead of leaving them behind.
Sony owns the patent to Blu-ray. Licensing that patent makes them more money that making it exclusive to their products.

I agree with that. Wish Sony looked at it the same way with all their exclusive games from Naughty Dog. I'll probably pick up the PS5 down the road at some point though

I know Uncharted and Last of Us are the big names but I would literally kill for a full fledged Jak & Daxter franchise sequel
Not quite the same, but we do have a Ratchet & Clank PS5 title coming that looks pretty fantastic.canadiaggie said:wangus12 said:

Actually, we have no idea. If the big retailers will be getting more, as Sony has stated, it doesn't seem like the actual supply is the issue.rbcs_2 said:

It doesn't hurt Sony a bit for the units to be in insanely high demand for a few months.
Ratchet looks great. I love all of those games. I would also kill for a Jak sequel. I still play the original and Jak 2 about once a year.

There's a PS5 Ratchet coming? WHAAAAAT. Hadn't heard!
Sony uses their first party to attract console purchasers to skim revenue off their storefront. That's probably a better business model than what Microsoft is doing for Sony, because they have the attention right now and they have the units. Microsoft can't attract people to their platform (yet) with exclusive content so they have to do it through value and hiding their revenues over time. Microsoft is putting people on a payment plan, Sony is making people pay up front. I think long term, if Microsoft delivers on quality games, they have the better strategy. Americans love their payment plans.wangus12 said:

EA, Bethesda, and Microsoft is a pretty tough combo. EA should really dump their annualized releases for their sports games and go to a subscription model where they do tiny updates year over year, charge $6.99 for sports only and ~9.99-12.99/mo for the full slate of games (whatever makes sense), release updated rosters and periodic functionality updates, then branch out and use the steady revenue to get back into NCAA and Golf games.
Yup, I've actually got a friend working on it, looks really fun:canadiaggie said:There's a PS5 Ratchet coming? WHAAAAAT. Hadn't heard!fig96 said:Not quite the same, but we do have a Ratchet & Clank PS5 title coming that looks pretty fantastic.canadiaggie said:wangus12 said:

Has anyone heard if a 3rd party developer is working on backwards compatibility program for PS1, PS2, and PS3? It seems pretty clear Sony isn't doing this. Would they block someone else from doing it?
Don't see any way this happens. Unfortunate, but honestly, I think people make way too big a deal of backwards compatibility. It's a nice feature, but as long as the PS5 plays most PS4 games, 99.9% of users will be satisfied.
Are you referring to software on ps5 itself or an emulator that runs on pc? I'm sure someone will try to create the latter, I don't see anyway someone gets a Sony approved piece of software for ps5.
Most games from PS1 and PS2 would be brutal to play today. I played the hell out of 2Xtreme as a kid, but it wouldn't hold my attention today, same goes for Twisted Metal and Road Rash.Chase McGuire said:

Yup. People will complain on the internet, but realistically, how many days of the year are you frustrated you can't pop your PS1 copy of Spyro the Dragon or Metal Gear Solid into your PS4? BC only really matters for the previous generation, and only for the first couple years of the console's life cycle. Otherwise, it's a novelty and bonus feature.
There's probably demand for backwards compatibility for a select few games from the PS1/PS2/Xbox generation and more from the 360/PS3 generation. I think we've gotten to the point where there's at least a baseline of playability that can carry forward functionally. Those old games had serious issues with controls and graphics. I don't think Last of Us is ever going to look awful and the controls aren't going to be so infuriating that it will be unplayable. Nvidia is doing AI up scaling that can bring the nearer generations up to a better standard as well, I doubt it would work well on those older generations.

I though the PS Now stuff was basically an emulator. I've never done it but that was my assumption. If you're playing games off of a server, I'm surprised they don't incorporate that.
I'm prob talking out of my rear.

Totally agree. The only game I'd want is ncaa football on PS2. It was way better than PS3.
And I was realllllllly good at it.
Not what I said. I'd probably use it pretty often because I still have a lot of my old games. But it's not a big deal for a vast majority of the user base. It's a luxury that's cool to have but isn't a defining feature for most users. Sony probably believes the same or it would be more of a focus for PS5.
Most people are going to get a next gen console to play next gen games.

GameStop in person preorders tomorrow. Have to reserve in person I believe when store opens. Checked my local GameStop and they will have 7. Plan to get out there at 6 am. They open at noon...

Richmond Texas?
Online queue system going right now at Gamestop.com
I think both online and in person are only for the disc version, no digital today.

Good luck!
I have a disc version at Target but really hunting for a digital version.

If I miraculously get a digital one, I can talk to you about switching.
Still pissed off about Amazon orders... I better not have to wait for the next run of PS5's. Amazon shouldn't allow a pre-order if they can't accommodate. I don't mind waiting a week or so, though.
Honest question, from an old who still games from time to time (LOVE Ghost of Tsushima) and some with my 11 yr old son... do all of you who are buying them right off the bat expect them to work flawlessly upon purchase, or do you fully expect to deal with a lot of bugs and hiccups?
Like I said I'm an old and I stick to the theory of not buying the 1st gen of new technology (yes, I know this is PS5, but still). So I'm legit wondering if I still need to do that and wait awhile or if I should just hop on the bandwagon and get one sooner rather than later.
