I never played the original. The announcement trailer just got me. My wife was into it too. Maybe we're just suckers for the idea of exploring Chernobyl.

Demon’s Souls Remastered, especially if the 6th archstone is unlocked, makes the PS5 must-buy.

Also think about how much better Bloodborne/DS3 will finally run and look.

If you don’t think $499.00 is a bargain for that hardware you really don’t know gaming.

If the Xbox Series S can play Flight Simulator then it will be a hell of a bargain considering it will take USB flight controls.

I’m buying a Series S for my youngest since he mainly does YouTube and Minecraft then getting a Series X to replace the PS4 in my living room.

This is what I hope for. Getting the Series X so I can play Flight Sim on the 120" screen.

Would be cool if the series S could play it reasonably well so my son could play as well at the same time.

Flight Sim is one of our main reasons to upgrade.

There is no reason to poop on GamePass, it is a legit perk. I got the 3 years worth for $1 deal as well. There are so many games to enjoy for that $1.

When I run out, I can pick up a PS5 to play their exclusives. Of course I will need to get a PS4 and PS3 as well because BC is too damn hard for Sony

Don't worry, you wont need to buy the other systems, Sony will just release remastered additions at full price. Wont be bad for you, but for live long PS gamers it will suck to rebuy they games they love.

Same here. I'm in the Sony camp if I had to pick one, but I would own both if I wasn't so frugal. Game Pass is awesome. I have a friend with an Xbox and I'm always recommending gamess I see released on Game Pass. I'm also envious Xbox has a 4K Blu-ray drive and an HDMI-In port.

I like the minimalist look of the PS4's U.I. and aesthetic, but frick, I hope Sony will smooth out the PSN store. Why is the world did they not implement a "wish list" or a way to bookmark a game?

ETA: I'm referring to only current gen here, PS4 Pro/One X.

cutting edge PCs barely get 30fps on MSFS right now. without a major optimization patch or gimping of the game, these consoles have no chance of running it, ESPECIALLY the S

PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4. most PS3 classics can be played on PSNow

Oops. I meant for my post to be purely for current gen, Pro/One X.

Definitely going to play some more Flight Simulator, did a flight from IAH to LAX on my PC and flying over West Texas and the desert was just awesome.

Other games will be Cyberpunk, NCAA Football (I believe), MLB The Show, Forza (both franchises), Halo and whatever else comes out on EA Access.

gotcha

I'm pretty impressed overall with the XSX. it's unquestionably the most value in terms of price for performance. anxious to see the dashboard changes and QOL stuff they've been touting

Microsoft just announced that EA Play (formerly EA Access) is now included for no additional cost with Game Pass. I'll probably get a PS5 eventually for some of the exclusives but it's hard to argue with the value proposition surrounding the Xbox right now.
