Like you I’ve not had to buy a new controller yet and have had a PS4 since around 6 months after it came out and it’s had some significant use during that time.

lapal_fan Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I've had 3 pads with my ps4. It's the only playstation I've ever had trouble with the original pad I've gotten with it. They "work", but I play FPS and they get "rotational crawl" where you leave you right analogue stick and your player turns left or right on their own. Makes aiming and recoil control on pads really hard, and on twitch shooters like bfv or apex or cod, it ruins the games. Driving games I'd imagine would be annoying too, although rocket league has been fine. I think FPS games reduce their input on the analogue sticks to 0 so any input counts towards movement, whereas other games styles give you a bit more leeway.

dubbs Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 So who's getting a PS5 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My plan was to try for one at launch but the cyberpunk news might put a dent in that If it doesn't launch with anything special then I'll probably wait until the 2nd wave in the new year (assuming Sony do have a AAA exclusive in the Q1 slot as per usual) With the number of studios they have with great games this gen it'll be disappointing if it launches with nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'm thinking of getting one at launch, but also in the same boat as you. If there's no launch titles which are a must play then I'll gladly wait a few months for the library to build a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2020 I won't be getting one at launch but will probably get one at some point next year. I read that it will be backwards compatible? Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 im sure I read backwards compatible with the PS4 but the series x is backward compatible all the way back to the original Xbox surprising seeing as PS now is fairly shit compared to game pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2020 Backwards compatibility for the PS3 is a **** nightmare, and they probably felt doing it prior to that isn't worth it, so cut their losses at the PS4 (and the implication of that is that it won't be full back compatibility, just most...)

villa4europe Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I can remember the fallout from xbox (amongst other things) but I honestly don't think I've even tried it on the PS4 and im not sure which games I have a desire to go back and play, the FF games (available on PSN) that's about it, it doesn't hold the nostalgia with me that say the ability to play SNES games on a new Nintendo console, there's a few games I wouldn't mind seeing updated with a new entry, remade or remastered (G Police, Fear Effect, Vagrant Story, Syphon Filter) but im not going to play the originals now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'll be getting it on launch so it doubles up as my PS4 that I've been meaning to get for a while. Their announcement of just 100 titles being backwards compatible makes that a bit awkward though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'll be getting one at launch. All the talk out of Japan that stocks will be limited worldwide until March 2021 means that regardless of launch titles I'm getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard any rumours about what's in the works generally? I'm assuming GoW2, horizon 2 and spiderman 2 but would be happy with a killzone or resistance curveball, their Japan studio (gravity rush, knack) is also quiet, feels like a GT game is long overdue too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming GoW2, horizon 2 and spiderman 2 but would be happy with a killzone or resistance curveball, their Japan studio (gravity rush, knack) is also quiet, feels like a GT game is long overdue too It's all been relatively quiet in Sony's camp. The longest rumour that doesn't seem to die is Bluepoint Games working on a Demon's Souls remake for PS5. There is also the rumour that Konami keep shutting down, yet it keeps on reappearing about Japan Studio working on a Silent Hill reboot for PS5. SIE San Diego Studio (MLB The Show series) are rumoured to be working on Uncharted 5, or at least something in the Uncharted universe. It's unknown if that is planned for PS5's launch window though. Outside of that though it has been really quiet. It's believed that Guerrilla Games will have Horizon 2 ready for launch which is to be expected as their releases are tech demos as much as they are fully-fledged games. It's going to be a very interesting launch as God of War is 2 years old today, so unless Santa Monica have been crunching hard then God of War 2 is probably still 1-2 years away. Naughty Dog are busy with the indefinitely delayed Last of Us: Part 2, which likely also puts back any plans for a new IP. Sucker Punch have Ghosts of Tsushima out later this year for PS4, so they're out of commission for another 4-5 years while they make something for PS5. Sony have been so secretive recently that it's hard to tell where companies are with regards to PS5 projects. I would expect Gran Turismo 7 around the launch of PS5, or at least a Gran Turismo 7: Prologue sort of release where they show off what next-gen Gran Turismo will look like. My biggest concern with the PS5 at launch is when I look at their studios I see a lot of them out of commission for the next couple years because of PS4 releases in the last 1-2 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
