Here’s my very personal history and the memorable launch titles:<\/p>\n
I bought my Playstation in January of 1997. (Street Fighter Alpha 2<\/b>)
\nI bought my Playstation 2 in October of 2000.(SSX<\/b>)
\nI bought my Playstation 3 in or around November 2006. (Resistance<\/b>)
\nI bought my Playstation 4 in November 2013. (Killzone<\/b>)<\/p>\n
In fact, the ONLY<\/i> console I don’t own from the past 25 years is the Xbox One – and only because of finances. <\/p>\n
So, I’m on board with the next gen. I’ve pre-ordered. I am thrilled about the upgrade and I’m happy to choose Sony again (though I genuinely hope to pick up a Series X at one point down the line!)<\/p>\n
But as the system is set to launch in a mere 41 days, there’s more that we don’t know<\/i> than we do. How will backwards compatibility work? Will it have a suspend mode like the upcoming Xbox? Will PS5 controllers work with PS4 games? How will the UI look? How will haptic feedback feel? I could go on and on.<\/p>\n
Sony’s hubris after the best-selling console of all time, the Playstation 2, contributed to its successor having a rocky start. All the goodwill they’ve earned in this successful generation is dribbling away. It’s not whether the PS5 is better than the Series X or not. But Microsoft’s message has been far more consistent, positive and informative. Sony should be using this time to hype up new features, show things off and get people psyched! <\/p>\n
Get on it, Sony! Ride this excitement and give us something!!! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
