Playstation 5 Catch-All

I really wish they were more clear about that compatibility. Things like this are encouraging but also just uncertain enough to make me wonder what's not going to be playable (or, just as importantly, what's not going to be playable well).

I don't think they have a way to be more clear. Every game is a case-by-case basis and until they are all tested (which for 4,000 + titles might take a good long while), they can't commit one way or the other. They are just assuming, likely based upon their design and any testing done so far, that most - if not all - titles will be playable.

That will be most welcome.

Apparently they're advising people to wear headphones for the event, so it's safe to assume they'll be demonstrating some of their new audio tech. I am excite!

Looking forward to it. And very very excited. Dont know if this time around I will jump day one.... still got a chunk of PS4 games. Backwards compatibility will be a huge factor. Also, glad to see that it appears we will have a all balck cosone.. and not that wird black/white combo

I...think you're try to say "an all-black console", but I don't think there's been anything shown of the console itself. The DualSense (I'd still rather say DualShock 5) controller's still the same black & white one they showed before, but the harsh backlighting, with it almost entirely in shadow, has led a lot of people to think it's black. When it rotates you can see it's still predominantly white.

Keen for it, but probably won't get up at 6am to watch live...

Do we have a non-E3 catch-all? The IGN thing starts this afternoon, with Sony of course tomorrow.

There is a non-E3 2020 thread.

How exciting. Looking forward to tonight (it’s on at a very civilised 9pm in the UK.)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up (the aforementioned launch list 'leak' wasn't particularly enticing), but console launches are just one of those weird things that I enjoy. Getting a Switch and Breath of the Wild at launch was AWESOME.

Still, I also remember getting a PS2 with... Eternal Ring. So. You know, there's THAT.

Apparently HZD’s composer hinted at a reveal tonight in a hastily removed tweet.

That's exciting!

Anyone got a URL/video feed for the reveal?

I'd bet money on some big, fancy-pants PS5 upgrade for the first game than a sequel.

Nice, thanks.

CyberClank 2077

Never played a Ratchet & Clank game, but it looks super fun.

Ditto. Was more impressive than anything I expected today.

It's always been one of my favorite Playstation series. Looks awesome.

Watching the Giant Bomb feed now. I might rewatch everything on YouTube with headphones later. Super into Stray. That looks rad.

Both Stray and Project Athia look awesome as well.

Project Athia has a “Deep Down” feeling to me. Wouldn’t be shocked if it never came out.

Returnal... Dumb name, or dumbest name?

It doesn't matter. It's Housemarque, and it looks AWESOME!

Opening the presentation with GTAV seems like an.. odd choice.

That Horizon Zero Dawn X Pikmin looks cool.
