i do like that the ps5 disc drive is clearly a tumor growing off the actual design, as it should be

imagine distributing digital content on plastic discs in 2020. lmao. do you also shower in bottled water

I’m extremely hesitant to buy digital games for a system that will be outdated every 5-8 years and will require being pulled out of the closet in order to play old good games on

I used to collect retro games and it was awesome when I was a bachelor and could have all my systems under my tv and have an switch that let me toss 4 systems per tv input, but now those systems are two year old bait and the cables are a combination of strangling hazard and yoinking the tv off the wall hazard so I can’t really go back and play super Mario sunshine or whatever without a lot of effort

that being said I’m pretty sure none of my TVs have rca connections and I would imagine scaling with something other than that $400 Japanese scaler will make all my games look like poo poo unless I keep a 200lb 30 year old Panasonic on hand

will the PS5 read PS1 and PS2 discs or will I have to rebuy them from some garbage Sony Store for $1 a pop

I played Cuphead a while ago and it was really good. After I finished I looked around at other run-and-gun games, but I really just wanted more Cuphead so I decided to go through NG+. Then I finished that and I wanted more so I decided to go for perfect scores on every level. Now I'm done with that and I still need more Cuphead so I'm sitting here hand editing MSIL to hack in new game modes for myself and it's working and it's great.

i used to have a big weird retro game collection and all it did was take up space so i poasted it on samart and people went nuts for it. i think ultimately i got "ripped off" but i got way more than i thought and there was no way i was gonna part all that out

yeah I sold some boxed duplicates I had and duplicate systems and a couple of other things and I suddenly had $1500 to buy a new computer with

I didn’t realise they were so insanely valuable until I went to sell them. I always just picked stuff up at like Salvation Army and garage sales

i'd imagine for sony it will be like steam or xbox where you buy the game and you can play it on all ur devices for all games from the last generation and onward cause its all PCs.

nintendo has the dual problems of completely different and incompatible hardware for every console release and then being the worst at online services

with xbox specifically they're gonna be going hard on xbox game pass over the next few years probably ending up with game streaming as the final form of the xbox brand.

probably a switch just because the parental controls are really good and the titles are largely guaranteed to be kid friendly

at least in my experience the only game that you really interact with others much in on the Switch is overwatch or that paint shoot game and I’m pretty sure neither allow you to type words in it and I’d be surprised if either have voice comms

my kids are going to hate having a nerd for a dad who is going to have their technology locked down tighter than ft knox

I gave fortnite a go when it first came out and then what sounded like a 10 year old squeeked at me for either killing them or leaving them to die and I uninstalled shortly after. I can’t imagine what it’s like now that it’s a certified Children’s Game

if you like cuphead you should play metal slug. just make sure you get the good ports (i remember some ports drop fps or have missing animation frames).

when I played I cheesed the gently caress out of the fight by hiding behind the box on the right side of the arena from where you start, can’t get hit over there. that boss is some BS

ordinarily i'd think 2009 is a bit recent to start remaking stuff but demon's souls has a lot of cool weird online poo poo that doesn't work anymore because the servers got shutdown, and a fair bit of annoying weird gameplay poo poo that could be improved upon. i'm stoked for this remake and the $400 digital ps5 is making me reconsider the ps4 slim i was going to buy this year
