There’s a lot to like about Xbox going into this gen but even before tonight’s show it feels like Sony has a better understanding of what gets me hyped AF for new hardware.
They had me at the Astro Bot pack-in game that shows off all the new controller functions, frankly.
Bringing this in to this thead so as not to derail the other.
Interesting, because I honestly don't see all that much worthy of hype about the Playstation at launch, personally. Maybe that comes from us both leaning one way though.
There's plenty of third party games that are going to be on the SX, Game Pass (now with EA Play), more powerful (might not make any difference in reality of course), possibly cheaper, current gen peripherals all work on it, ability to buy digital games elsewhere. Probably forgetting some stuff. If you don't have a gaming PC, it's a very strong package now.
Obviously if you really want the exclusives it offers, then the PS5 is the way to go for the future. Personally Ratchet and Clank does nothing for me, and GT is overrated these days. Only ones that might appeal to me would be Horizon and the original Last of Us. I don't see what else is appealing about it, to be honest.
