I'm fine ignoring the fact that this slow transition is happening until, like, FFXVI or something materializes...
I'm in the same boat, really. PS4 has stacks of games I've yet to get to, so aside from the games performing slightly better I don't feel any compelling reason to not wait for a PS5 until I can just go to a store and buy one off the shelf.Meanwhile I'm over here still feeling like "is it really time for the next generation already?", so I'm fine ignoring the fact that this slow transition is happening until, like, FFXVI or something materializes...
Yeah I know, I've been meaning to get around to 7R and I'm sure it looks great on PS5, but it also seems like the kind of thing where the longer I wait the more of it I can buy in one bundle.
Yeah, if you have a big backlog already, and are naturally just playing less and less games as we become Olds, then holding off for now makes perfect sense. Especially if you lack a nice 4K TV/monitor to game on. I've found my PS5 to be a huge leap over my launch PS4 just from the 4K native res and the lightning fast load times for PS4 games alone, but if you lack that UHD TV it's more like having a PS4 Pro.I'm in the same boat, really.

If you have a PC and do any amount of PC gaming and you like the feel of the controller, you might want to consider keeping it and synching it to your computer. It's what I've done. The second DualSense I bought is synched up via bluetooth to my PC for when I play PC games, and it works fantastically. Steam has native DualSense support now too so it works really well.It sucks to get saddled with a second Dualsense, but it’s better than paying the extra to a scalper and getting nothing in return, I guess.
Some of the PS5 version's assets still look like PS4 assets in higher res, but over all the game is breathtaking on PS5. There are times where the camera begins zooming in on a character's face, and you can see every light source reflect off the characters eyes in real time, and it's just absolutely stunning.Yeah I know, I've been meaning to get around to 7R and I'm sure it looks great on PS5, but it also seems like the kind of thing where the longer I wait the more of it I can buy in one bundle.
I actually find the second controller very convenient bc they run out of energy faster than I expect and I’m not close enough to the console fo have the controller plugged in at all times.I managed to order a PS5! I’ve been following a Twitter account that gives updates on console stocks in Canadian stores, and Wednesday right before bed I saw that Walmart had just put some bundles up. Since it was around midnight, they didn’t get snapped up too quickly and I was able to grab one! It’s a disc drive console that came bundled with Ratchet and Clank, a game I wanted to buy anyway, and a second controller, which I really don’t need right now. It sucks to get saddled with a second Dualsense, but it’s better than paying the extra to a scalper and getting nothing in return, I guess. I might see if I can offload the controller at a small loss, because I doubt I’ll need it any time soon and I’d rather get one in a fun color down the line. Also, uh, this shit is expensive and I wouldn’t say no to lowering to bill a little bit.
Between this and a recent Series X bundle that lasted for a good 10-15 minutes on Amazon, I think the supply of consoles might be getting a little better. Don’t lose hope!
A price to be paid for those haptics and adaptive triggers. I still need to pick up a second controller. Eyeing the red one, which is apparently more expensive because reasons.I actually find the second controller very convenient bc they run out of energy faster than I expect and I’m not close enough to the console fo have the controller plugged in at all times.
I have so many USB hubs spread about, as well as usb power banks, that I'm never out of reach of power. But if that's not you, yeah a 2nd controller makes sense too.I actually find the second controller very convenient bc they run out of energy faster than I expect and I’m not close enough to the console fo have the controller plugged in at all times.
That’s where I’m at. I still have not played Sekiro, Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War, Spiderman, Mass Effect Trilogy, etc. And I’m not planning to get a new TV any time soon. I feel like PS4 is still coming into its own, and I’m not in any rush to move on.Yeah, if you have a big backlog already, and are naturally just playing less and less games as we become Olds, then holding off for now makes perfect sense.

But god damn do games look good in 4K on the PS5. The resolution of 4K is so dense that it's the first time in my life where I haven't been able to perceive the jaggies/individual pixels, and I have pretty good eyesight.
