Kinda surprised Sony hasn't done a new Cool Boarders game in years. With no Amped, 1080 or SSX, there's been a gap in the market there for quite a while.

If I had to work in a Chinese electronics sweatshop, I would probably also have a coke nail.

Wrong finger for that, unless the Chinese do it differently.

I bite my nails so does that mean I can't do coke?
Not that I want to anyway but still, knowing I can't is a bit depressing?

Over half of gamers intend to buy a next-gen console within three months of launch – with the PS5 the clear favourite

According to new research, over half of all gamers plan to buy a next-gen console within three months of launch, with Sony’s Playstation 5 the clear device of choice.

The findings come via a wide-ranging survey of over 3,000 pop culture fans in the UK undertaken by pop culture agency Experience12. Data was collected between June 25th and July 2nd through MCM Comic Con online channels. 80 per cent of the respondents were aged between 18 and 34 (48 per cent were in the 25-34 year old category; 32 per cent in the 18-24 category). Meanwhile, 58 per cent were male, 38 per cent female, 2 per cent non-conforming and 1 per cent transgender.

When asked to choose which upcoming console they were most excited about, 84 per cent named PlayStation 5, compared to 15 per cent who are most anticipating Xbox Series X.

It is worth noting that this is perhaps an effect of Microsoft’s cross-generational plan, with games being playable on both current Xbox Ones and Xbox Series X following launch, as Xbox’s Matt Booty revealed to us in an interview.

In terms of when they plan to buy these new consoles, 37 per cent said ‘at launch’, 9 per cent expect to buy within a month, 12 per cent within three months and 26% within six months of launch.

Given the intense hype around the game, even following its delay to November 19th, Cyberpunk 2077 is unsurprisingly the most anticipated game among those surveyed. 43 per cent of respondents said CD Projekt’s title was the one they’re most excited about, followed by Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers at 15 per cent.

:lol:

It's odd on SO MANY LEVELS! Survey was taken through a Comic Con channel so you kind of expect them to be hyped for it. But... survey was taken through a Comic Con channel, yet it got TROUNCED into second place by a non superhero game. But even 2nd place is too good for it because it looks both massively generic and underwhelming.

The headline is also misleading - definition of gamer aside, it's pretty obvious that the survey is not representative! Is it really that surprising when you survey attendees of a comic con that a significant proportion tell you they're excited for a comic book game?

EDIT: Beaten by SOK!

"Beaten by SOK" sounds like some kind of fetish. ;)

Yeah, it's a ridiculously bias survey :lol:


The PS/Xbox split is probably driven by people wanting to play the Spider-man alone

Have Sony said anything about PS4 controller compatibility with the PS5 yet? Stick drift on my controller is pissing me off to the point where I'm tempted to just buy a damn replacement at this point but I'd feel better about doing it if I knew it could be used going forward!

No, nothing has been mentioned re compatibility of the DS4. Have a look on eBay to see if Music Magpie, etc have any cheap ones? At least that way you're not shelling out whatever the ridiculous RRP is.

Jeff Grubb has heard the next State of Play may fall somewhere between 5th and 11th August.

twitter.com/JeffGrubb/status/1289019566039764992



Plans can change so don't get too invested in the date, 'kay? 'Kay. And no, there's no word on if we get price and release date announcement in August.
