From PlayStation Universe: "Services are a strong part of any console. They can provide additional reasons to purchase that console and can encourage other members of the family to use it even if they don’t play videogames. PS4’s library of services has grown since its launch in 2013 and that could carry over to PS5."
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
XDefiant was originally supposed to be out in summer 2023, but following a seemingly-successful beta test in April of that year, it was bumped to October 2023, and then delayed again to an unspecified future date. In its February 2024 financial report, Ubisoft slated XDefiant for launch in the fourth quarter of its 2023-24 fiscal year, which ended March 31.
A week before that date arrived, rumors surfaced that the game would be delayed yet again, and a few days later Ubisoft made it official.
"The game has always been community-first, with player feedback as a top priority," the development team said in the update. "While we hoped to go live by the end of March, there are still some improvements that we need to test before that."
Ubisoft said it's "finishing preparations" for a server stress test that will run for 12 hours on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. "After this short test, we expected to be able to lock a launch date and start sharing more about exciting content XDefiant has to offer in the future!"
The previous news was from the team/rumors this is ubisoft themselves now saying the game is delayed again no new date set but they will have a stress test on a date that has not been set.
So the game is delayed to _____ TBD
Network stress test at ____ TBD
Ubisoft we make games whenever for whoever we just do not care

I'm just going to be honest here and say what people seem to not want to, XDefiant success is going to be short-lived and it's because it's a game that's going to be under Ubisoft's umbrella. The development team can be absolute rockstars, but with Ubisoft steering the ship it's not going to go anywhere.
It could be a truely amazing game (it won't be) but with Ubisoft it will be monitized within a inch of its life.
The game is dead move on. It's the same with the Finals. These short period hype games doesn't last.
A new rumor suggests the next Xbox console is currently being tested by developers in South Korea.
If true, hopefully a fully fledged next gen console and not some unnecessary mid gen refresh system.
It could be that rumored Xbox portable, who knows
Could be the refresh console perhaps? I doubt it'll be the new console. Might be the portable rumored device.
Regardless the fact we're talking about new hardware already is absolutely pathetic. Barely any current gen stuff out and the stuff that is out or coming is at 30 fps or doesn't, doesn't look current gen and what have you.
All we're doing is chasing power and not creating the games to harness said power.
Worse generation so far easily.
It was reliably leaked just a month ago that MS hadn't signed contracts for next gen till literally weeks ago- the same leakers that correctly leaked that hi fi rush and pentiment and sea of thieves were going to ps5. So this is very very very unlikely- if not impossible. Also it's way too early....
Ps now for B.C. on ps5
Features aren't that big a deal but do provide extra value when buying a console. Games will always be the main reason to buy a console.
But my guess would have to be some type of VR service. Maybe like Viveport or the just announced HTC Viveport Infinity. If they add games to Plus, and you don't have PSVR, then it's a waste of a giveaway you can't use. If they add games to PS Now, VR gamers may not want to pay for the option to play all the flat screen games and just want the VR games.
So, just create a "PSVR Forever" service that allows you unlimited access to previously released VR games on PSN with new titles added monthly or bimonthly for a low monthly or annual price.
Still believe buying the games is better than a service. And wouldn't work for me as I bought a ton of VR games. Same with PS Now. I have no use for it as I bought all the top games I wanted to play on PS1,PS2 and PS3.
But when the games sell through and make what they are going to make at retail, then adding to PSVR Forever wouldn't hurt. Unlimited access to VR games might push more hmd sales.
With the PS5 I really hope they bring back Home. Especially if it is for use with VR. It could be like ready player one. you walking around in VR Home and meeting friends and doing stuff. Home was fun, in VR it could be more fun.
Honestly, PS5 doesn't need to launch with Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. That's what Smart TV's are for! For me PS5 should be all about the games. It definitely needs to be backwards compatible with all PS4 / PSVR media (physical and digital), though. I've got an original launch day white PS4 and a 1080p set so I've yet to experience this so called 4K HDR phenomenon. PS5 games + boosted PS4 games would be great. I'll invest in a new TV once PS5 gets a release date.
I would love if the PS5 just took everything about the PS4 but made it better. Same interface but with more features and LESS LAG!!!!!! Same controller with a better battery. BC with PS4 games. Improved PS Store. Improve on the Share function and expand the streaming function. Basically a more advanced PS4. I would absolutely love that.
