Honestly, a game that’s supposedly as massive as Cyberpunk is should just pull the plug on last gen, but it won’t. My hope is that Halo Infinite’s delay makes them go full next gen too.

Can't resist that sizeable install base.

Cyberpunk seems a bit ambiguous to me. Is it going to be more like GTA or Bioshock or what?

Haha.. I think the ambiguity is its greatest selling point right now. It may be a game spread too thin trying to do everything.. Who knows.

Several games are available on last gen hardware, sure, but they have better versions on the PS5. Miles Morales, Sackboy, Demon's Souls, Assasin's Creed, Cyberpunk, and even Astro Bot's playroom all appear to be quality titles in a variety of genres.

That being said, I totally understand being a little underwhelmed. The PS4 didn't really get going until Year 2 or so. If you are looking to play new titles only available on new hardware, you'll probably be waiting at least another 6-12 months.
I would have preferred 1 AAA game at launch vs. several good games at launch. I think Horizon or Halo would have done that. How great was Switch & Zelda on day 1? Best system / game launch ever!

At this point could Cyberpunk possibly live up to the hype?

Miles Morales is a pretty big game. While we don't know the exact length of the game, it is a standalone sequel/side-sequel to the 4th best selling game on the PS4.

Pretty sure Demon Souls is a very nice AAA launch title. Yes, it's a remake, but for those of us who've never played the original, it's an exciting release.

I think so, but I'd rather it be delayed and be more polished. I know lots of people are rabid for it.

I just hope it runs better and has more enjoyable combat than the Witcher. If I'm going to play a game for 50+ hours, it better be a blast to do the little stuff each time.

I'm still trying to figure out how to position this behemoth on my entertainment center. Relating to many of the comical/first world problems in this article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-ga ... /ps5-size/

I think this would fit in one of my cubby holes but IMO that significantly reduces airflow. May just settle for laying it on top of my center not too far (but not too close) to my big ass sound bar

Reading some impressions of the Dual Sense controller. Sounds very intriguing.

The controller sounds like it can do some awesome things and yet annoy the shit out of me at certain times. I hope there are options to turn some of that stuff off.

I believe you can control how intense the vibrations are with three different settings (high, medium, low). There could be an option to turn it off, but that may be embargoed.

I doubt many third party games will fully utilize it in a few years. Even if it is a little gimmicky I like when companies try to innovate.

Bugsnax (at launch) and Destruction All-Stars (in February) revealed to be PS Plus games.
