Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

PS5 Release Date, PS5 Games, PS5 Power vs Xbox One X, PS5 Price Speculation - All the PS5 Info lets discuss



Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019?


What we Want From the PS5 Speculation aside, what would we ideally want from the PS5? Backwards compatibility for PS4 games would be brilliant, simply because you'd be able to carry over classics like the Shadow of the Colossus remake to the next console generation. We've seen how well Microsoft is handling backwards compatibility with its Xbox One consoles (including getting amazing results updating Xbox 360 games to run in 4K on Xbox One X), and something similar on PS5 would be great.

In terms of pure power, the PlayStation 5 has to significantly exceed the power of the Xbox One X. This means featuring more games running in 4K at 60FPS. If the PS5 can deliver about 10 TF of power we'd be happy, as this would allow devs to create games that look a generation ahead of what we've got now.

But what would the dream launch lineup be for the PS5? Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part 2 are hugely anticipated blockbuster games, with the former especially looking to push the performance of whatever system it's on to the very limit. We've also mentioned Ghost of Tsushima and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, and the latter would be the perfect way to kick off a new console cycle from Sony.

Digital edition preordered via Sony. The queue wait was surprisingly short. People on other forums were reporting wait times of 1 hour or so lol.






Special thanks to @amaga bhai for getting the order placed. If you're in Pakistan and got one of these emails and want to book your PS5, get in touch with him.

Congrats on the purchase, so you're gonna let that Sony invite lapse, or giving it away to someone ?

Gamestop still haven't announced trades for the PS5 yet, they were incredibly quick to put up XB pages within hours of the release date announcement :-/

Waiting for that before deciding which venue to take.

Just a heads up @Chandoo. If you're planning on sharing your invite with someone, you'll need to also give them the login details for the PSN ID you used to sign up, or the order won't go through.

Yeah I think I'm gonna sit on that. Fucking weird that Gamestop *still* haven't given any trade plans for PS5s.

This...weird looking thing, is bigger than OG Xbox and that's without the ugly blades and base stand?



Both consoles appear to be designed to primarily stand vertically, looking rather unwieldy on their sides.
Apparently not clear to some "geniuses" here.

PS5 pre-orders might not arrive on time, Amazon warns




Expect potential delays



Securing a PlayStation 5 pre-order has proven tricky over the last few days, as nearly every retailer seems to sell out of their stock the second it goes up. Amazon appeared to be a good bet for many PS5 hopefuls, but now, anyone who got a pre-order from the retail giant might want to think about backup options — at least, if they want their console to arrive on Nov. 12, the PS5’s U.S. release date.

An email from Amazon to numerous pre-order customers warns that the console might not show up on launch day. Sent Friday afternoon, the message — which was received by some Polygon employees with existing PS5 pre-orders — says that “you may not receive this item on the day it is released due to high demand. We’ll make every effort to get the item to you as soon as possible once released.”

The email goes on to say that customers can track their order via the Amazon website, and, should they wish, cancel unshipped items. It’s unclear if Amazon sent this email as a precaution to everyone who pre-ordered the PS5; Polygon has reached out to the company for comment, and we’ll update this article with any information we receive.


In the past, Amazon has bungled day-one shipments for new gaming hardware, like the Nintendo Switch, or popular games, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons — so even if the email is a “just in case” thing, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that some PS5 pre-orders might arrive later than anticipated.

It’s also worth noting that COVID-19 has, on the whole, greatly affected the availability and shipment of even basic goods. While Sony has promised that it is making more PS5 hardware than it did for the PS4 launch, actual shipments of the system might not be immune to things like the overall mail slowdown in the United States.

PG's favorite Richard Leadbetter on how developers are happy with developing for the PS5:


Every single developer I've spoken to developing for PS5 has been evangelising how easy it is to work for, Its essentially the same development environment as PS4 and you scale up from there, for the new powers, the features and whatnot. I can't stress enough how happy developers seem to be with this situation
There is simply no doubt that the XSX on paper, the more powerful machine. However again, speaking to developers the development environment they are dealing with some people seem to be extremely happy with it, other people are having problems with it because they've moved away from what was previously the XDK which was specific for the Xbox to the GDK which is a more general environment for PC and for Xbox and even Xbox one is encompassed by the GDK

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
