I had forgotten about Second Extinction, Call of The Sea, and Project Mara, so that makes it ELEVEN games already announced. So yeah, there is no way they will be able to match the number of new games shown on Sony's presentation.

To back him up, that's basically what I've been running since I built my PC early 2014, along with an i7 4790K, and I've not had to upgrade or had any problem with a game yet. I thought about going to a 1440p monitor a few years back, but chose to stick with just a basic 1080p because I was more concerned about longevity with keeping high framerates.

Sure enough, I've had zero issue running any game at 60fps to date. Even recently as Gears Tactics, I can still get most of the settings to high with a locked 60fps in-game. But it's also different based on how optimised games are. Fallout 4 took me half a day messing around with settings to get a locked 60fps (and no screen stutter). But it's at least having that option, opposed to Fallout 4 on consoles which ran like dog day one, which make PC gaming so appealing.

For concerns on building a PC, if you have access to youtube you should have no issue. It's just lego for adults. With very expensive pieces.

I'm grateful for what was shown during the PS5 reveal, because while I still have interest buying one down the line, it basically confirmed that I won't be doing so for a while.

For starters, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'm buying one of those base models in the first couple years. I want to wait at least that long to see what the first owners of those systems experience, and whether my worries about it's form factor are overblown. But it's much more likely that I'll just wait out for a slim/pro re-model.

More importantly, I'm fairly certain most of the exclusives I'll be interested in won't be there within the first couple years. Maybe the Demon's Souls remake, which looks nice, but very unlikely Ratchet & Clank or Horizon 2 will, which were the two games from the showcase that truly blew me away.

It was a bad joke. And, to be honest, I missed both conferences but I went back and watched the Sony conference. To this day, I haven't watched the Xbox SX one (heard it was two days long, actually--but I forget) because the response was so underwhelming.

And I'm actually a much bigger fan of Xbox than I am of PlayStation!

Nah. Truth be told, I didn't buy a PS4 until Tomb Raider DE came out and I didn't buy an Xbox One until it was $100 off and bundled with Titanfall a few months later. Nothing either system had at launch really made me feel like I needed one. I was just looking for a reason to take the plunge. If the PS5 and XSX have a "killer app'' on launch day, I potentially could buy one or both...

I did buy PS4 Pro and XBO X on launch day but I already had software that would benefit from both. Price and library are gonna decide this one.

I'll also say this: The early lead is gonna depend on who can produce the most product. They're both going to sell everything they can produce for at least a month. And, at least in my case, not being able to find a PS2 or a PS3 near launch led to my eventual purchase of the Dreamcast and Xbox 360--two consoles I had no interest in at the time. Nobody wants to "pull a Nintendo" and not have enough hardware to satisfy the fan base. 

Has mystwalker even done anything this gen?  What happened to them?  Did they fold?

Sad, I really liked lost odyssey and the last story.  They should go back to consoles.  I know they were never a real developer, they farmed out all the programming and just focused on story and music, but still.  Those were some great games!  They should find a partner to help them realize their big ideas.

xbox already had their conference, what are you talking about?? Any how if they get a gta6 trailer and exlusiveity deal, might top ps5.

They have another one next month.

Well now that the dust has settled and we generally know what’s multiplat and what’s timed, I think myself and others are focused on the 1st party.

That’s GT7, R&C, Sackboy, Spiderman expansion, and the big hitter Horizon ZD which does look amazing. Is Returnal and Destruction All Stars also 1st party?

Well Xbox has the advantage of announcing games literally several months ago. We got Everwild, Grounded, Hellblade 2, Project Mara and of course Halo Infinite. So really all Xbox needs to do is show more of these games but also announce new titles. I and many others will more or less be “keeping score” so as long as Xbox has more 1st party games officially announced after their July conference they will be fine PR wise.

That said they can’t hold back. Forza 8 needs to answer to GT7, maybe FH 5. Obsidian, Initiative, and Playgrounds AAA games need to be revealed. Show us more of Hellblade 2, Halo, Project Mara, Everwild. And some smaller titles to round it all out. My moneys on Obsidian, people respect them so much.

Throw in some Series X rereleases like Gears 5, Sea of Thieves. Show that 60fps should be the standard over 30fps (someone who has played Halo at both and can confirm its night and day).

I’m pretty confident MS can deliver. Usually they go first and Sony adapts but this time they can adapt and really hit it out of the park. Sucks waiting thou
