That leaked trailer of Godfall looked nice and all but do we really need another looter shooter?

Looter Shooter sounds like an upcoming Guy Ritchie movie.

I won't believe it until we get a full tech lowdown from Digital Foundry.

I want at least 45 minutes of solid graphs, discussion about teraflops and why ray tracing is worth bothering with.

I used to be reasonably knowledgeable about processors and graphic cards; and eager to know the details when a new computer / console arrived. AMD Athlon 32-bit processor and ATI Radeon 8500 (64mb) graphics? Yeah, I was down with that.

Nowdays I'd rather look at the games than the tech specs. Still enjoy watching Digital Foundry analysis vids, though.

Who needs booming soundtracks and trailers filled with explosions when you can wow the crowd 3 hour slideshow about how they got the system cooling just right :wub:

A new Ratchet & Clank game could be headed to PS5 around the time of the upcoming console's launch, if a new rumor is accurate.

Developer Insomniac Games, which was recently purchased by Sony after many years of close collaboration between the two companies, may return to the world of furry heroes and bizarre weaponry before releasing the next installment in the super-powered universe it started with Spider-Man PS4.

Video game podcaster Colin Moriarty recently shared the rumor, as reported by CBR: "We're going to get a Ratchet & Clank in-between [Spider-Man PS4 and its sequel] on PlayStation 5," Moriarty said. "I feel like that's going to be a launch game, the Ratchet & Clank game that's long been in development at Insomniac."

The Ratchet & Clank series started on PS2 in 2002, and its most recent entry was a 2016 remake of the original game (which also tied into an animated movie). Though it seemed like that latest game was set up to start a reboot series full of new adventures for the lombax/robot duo, we haven't heard much else about Ratchet & Clank since then. If the rumor's right, Insomniac will return to what is arguably its flagship franchise for its very first game on PS5 - and its very first game as an official Sony studio. There isn't much of anything to verify this rumor beyond Moriarty's comments, but at least it would feel right?

I wouldn’t mind.

I mean, have a new Ratchet and Clank at launch and I'm definitely day one.

Tidux is a fake bitch-boy who's been getting his kicks for years by fooling the gullible and he's not in anyway an industry insider. I have been aware of him for a very long time, he makes these oblique statements, the kind that spiritualists often say which are non-definitive but could be interpreted to be true. I remember prior to the Project Reality/PSVR reveal he didn't know gooseberry fool. Then the morning after it was announced he was reeling of a list of games that were coming to it because of his insider knowledge. Well, if he had insider knowledge of this platform and its games why didn't he reveal this before the reveal? Because he didn't actually know. So then he wants people to believe that he was made aware of all this juicy information after the reveal!

Leakers normally know something first-hand which they reveal, or they leak quality info they learn from other sources. His narrative shifts between the two. Don't be misled.

It's almost time for a topic about when they plan the next gen mid gen refresh.
Next gen is old news.

Always looking forward cos I can't find reverse!

Progress is just too damn slow for Peter!

I'm still waiting for the 586 PC

.

Technically the original Pentium was the i586, they just decided to re-brand it to sound sexier and it meant that Intel could trademark it and stop other companies piggybacking off the branding like they did with 486.
