If motorstorm (the first motorstorm) had split screen I'd have loved it. As it was I got very bored not being able to play with mates.

Unless they had a PS3. At their house.

People spoiling the ebay auctions :lol: There's some now going for £2000 each with many days left. Others for £1000+.

Other than like Timesplitters - theres never been a great PS (2 onwards) launch title. And why should there be - the launch is the incentive. It's like Disney releasing Star Wars and Avengers at the same time.

Midnight club was a great game too. People liked SSX.

Wait was Midnight Club 2 the great one?

I have enjoyed all this PS5 buzz, but i'm glad i'm not having to sit up until 1am refreshing Argos (then getting back onto Argos at 4am!) tonight. I've been exhausted all day

Amazon now have a listing for the new Spiderman game (you need a direct link) but it wont let me ship it to NI. Works fine with any other postcode.

I can ship any other PS5 product no problem. Probably just a bug, but its annoying

Did you get your email from Game?

I feel surprisingly lucky, I expected it to be much more difficult to secure a preorder, I honestly expected something similar to Jingle all the way.

I cancelled the game preorder today. I was going to keep it for a few weeks just incase there was an issue with Argos, but my better half was distinctly unimpressed by the concept of preordering two PS5s (especially as Argos took payment upfront) even though Game probably wouldn't charge me :lol: Might help someone else get one anyway

I also have a preorder for Spiderman and Cyberpunk (neither of which will be charged until release day) so touch wood that is all my PS5 purchases done til Christmas!

I remember playing Motorstorm and being amazed that mud would splatter on the camera :lol:
Holy shit. I forgot about this game. It really felt next gen at the time. I remember thinking how good and shiny it looked. Just watched a video there and while it holds up quite well, it’s certainly not wowing me. Funny how that works.

On PS4 launch day I bought killzone and that was utterly shite. Spent most of my time replaying The Last of Us (remastered) until something decent came out!
I for one am glad we have instant backwards compatibility and Spider-Man/Cyberpunk/Demon’s souls. Feels like a treat!

I didn't get a PS4 at launch as I never liked Killzone and didn't see much worth playing.

But I really liked Resistance on PS3, particularly the setting of a UK torn apart by an alien invasion.

In Czech Republic you have to wait until February 21, however on the plus side you can get the controller from November, so at least I can hold that for a few months

You spent most of your time at launch 15th Nov 2013 playing LOU remastered... a game that wasn't released on PS4 for another 8.5 months (29th July 2014)? ;)

Do we know how much memory will be reserved by the system? Guessing total space for games and stuff will be around 700GB maybe?
Elvis means storage here rather than memory.

No idea Elvis as they haven’t said anything about that and the next big thing they need to show is the OS.

There’s no external storage card on the market that can run PS5 games. When they do come out, I expect them to be priced similar to how the Xbox external storage was which is $220. Anything more than that and you might as well buy another console!

You could also use the PS4 external storage. Download PS5 games on there and move them when you want to play them or waiting for future DLC. That’s a good option for single player games

Was it confirmed that Miles Morales game is going to contain the other Spider-Man game from last year too. I never got to play that one despite it looking fun.

Yep an enhanced or complete edition or something.

It's a fantastic game so a really good bundle if you've never played it.

It should be fine!

I also preordered both! I ended up going for the ultimate edition for Spider-Man, I played a bit of the first Spider-Man but never finished it, so thought why not. I don’t think there’s anything else that’ll come out this side of Christmas that interests me. Obviously I’ll pick up Fifa moneymaker 21 at release and maybe look at Hitman in the new year.

Think that might be a good day one game for me then to be honest. I bet this will be visually amazing too!

Edit: also I know everyone says he launch titles are not great but I actually think I’d be happy to play them all. I’d love to find time to try demon souls at some point too.

Yeah I've not played Spiderman myself yet so an upgraded version for PS5 + MM is a good launch day title for me, alongside Demon's Souls. Will probably pick up Cyberpunk around Xmas.

Argos all over the shop



John Lewis are also pulling the same stunt, my friend just text me saying he woke up this morning to a nice email from john lewis saying they had cancelled his order due to taking to many preorders and not enough stock, even though he had the email from them yesterday saying he was one of the lucky ones who would get one on launch day.

I had an email from Amazon customer service this morning and shit myself thinking they were cancelling my order, but it was just to say they were refunding me £5 for the new Mario game :nervous:

While I’m not counting my chickens yet, I’m so glad I got one from Amazon when I did because it sounds mental at the moment.

Argos was always my preferred choice as well because of my Argos Card but it looks like I’ve been let off with that one.
