October perhaps

Though, realistically, it's probably early November. Sony will try to get the PS5 out before the XSX to make it easier for the CoD crowd to choose.

Check your emails if you receive Sony marketing emails, Sony are sending out registration emails for PS5 pre orders. The pre orders will be in limited quantities apparently.

So I just saw an email in my inbox that's asking me to register for an opportunity to preorder a PS5. Wat.

SIE aims to achieve robust revenue growth by accelerating the virtuous cycle that has been established for the PlayStation Platform. This entails increasing active users and play time, enhancing network services and reinforcing content IP so that consumers select PlayStation as their platform of choice.

Targeted outcomes include growth in active users, stronger retention and a shorter cash conversion cycle, from which expanded cash flow can be expected.

We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability

@GoldenHawk something something enticing people to buy PS5

TLoU 2 PC port in 2025 confirmed

I don't see them putting any ND games on PC. They're probably going to drip feed stuff like Dreams, Bloodborne, and maybe Killzone Shadowfall and Until Dawn.

Also, worth noting that this statement was made before Horizon's PC release, so that may end up being the extent of their exploration

A vast majority of SIE's revenue comes from selling games on the PS Store, from PS+ subscribers, and from hardware sales. They're well aware of this fact.

Well, atleast you finally put hardware where it belongs i.e. at the end of the list.

They're well aware of this fact.

Hence, this comment:

promote further growth

The other means of income that I mentioned are also a possibility due to their own hardware.

Hence, this comment:

The new statement doesn't go against what they said earlier. They're promoting growth in profitability by putting Horizon on PC to entice PC games to get a PS5, as they have previously stated. They're exploring whether this move actually makes a difference. Maybe R&C PS4 is next. That would surely confirm their intention.

PS5 won’t be backward-compatible with PS3, PS2, or PS1, Ubisoft says



Check your hype for five generations of gaming on PS5




Sony’s next-gen PlayStation will feature some level of backward compatibility with PlayStation 4 games, but PlayStation 5 owners may not get the full 25 years of backward compatibility they may be dreaming of. According to a support FAQ on Ubisoft’s website, the PS5 will not be backward-compatible with original PlayStation, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation 3 games.

Sony had never promised backward compatibility for PlayStation, PS2, and PS3 games on PS5. But reports from July speculated about the possibility of wide-ranging backward compatibility on PS5, playable from a cloud-based game library. Those reports were based on patent filings in Japan, not something that Sony announced.

PlayStation 5 will support “the overwhelming majority” of the more than 4,000 PS4 titles released to date, Sony senior VP of platform planning and management Hideaki Nishino said in March, amid confusion about Sony’s plans. Several game developers have already pledged to support PS4 versions of their games on PS5, including CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Treyarch/Raven Software’s Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.


We’ve reached out to Sony for clarification on the extent of PlayStation 5’s backward compatibility support and will update when the company responds. It’s worth noting that the support FAQ entry on Ubisoft’s website is different depending on which region you’re viewing. The Australian version of the support page notes that “Backwards compatibility will be available for supported PlayStation 4 titles, but will not be possible for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation games,” while the U.S. equivalent does not mention those platforms at all.

oooof, looks like ubi has a beef with sony this gen. they are clearly siding with XBSX this gen and it shows plus XBSX is going to have all the BC they need from xbox to xbsx so they might just win BC at least this time again. sony still didn't learn from this gen that BC is quite important to players as well

Ratchet & Clank PS5: Does it actually have (short) loading screens?

This gif and the presentation, every time Ratchet changes dimension, it seems to be the exact same one, so are those actual loading screens or just showing the change of dimensions as an artistic vision?

Now imagine doing the same on PC.

P.S. There aren't any loading screens for the smaller portals.

Hot damn , R&C transition between worlds are much smoother and seamless now than they were in the first reveal where there was an obvious judder portal-ing between dimensions.
