Original Post:
There's been an uptick in posts from FoxyGamesUK in the last few days and with the PS5 reveal being imminent, I thought I'd summarise some of it here in a post so we can see where the cards fall.
Remember, this is just for a bit of fun discussion to keep ourselves busy. Their tweets in " ", my thoughts are in the brackets.
God of War PS4 running 4K/60 w/ no load times
"You'll be using the standard mechanical HDD as storage only. #PS5s #UltraSSD will be doing all the donkey work. In fact, #PS5 Games won't even run without SSD. Probably going to want to upgrade to a 2TB SSD day 1."
been using #MayDay hashtag alot...That's the 1st of May, this friday.
also been hinting at something in June. We could be looking at a console reveal, tear down in may and full blowout in in June.
select non PS4 legacy titles will be playable. digital only. not until a while after launch
Maybe you'll get your chance soon Miles.. #SpiderMan2 (Mile main character for Spidey 2?)
""Are ye not gods? " Psalm 82:6" (No idea...probably Godfall, maybe God of War 2)
"Last year #SIE tried to downplay the (rumored) successor to #PSVR In this industry you kinda have to be economical with the truth... #PSVR2" (PSVR 2 announcement coming as well?)
"The 80s era is on the verge of making a major comeback! Sadly, not for #PS4 #XboxOne #PS5 #XboxSeriesX" (GTA VI ?)
"The prophecy is fulfilled..." (No idea...could david cage be remaking Indigo Prophecy? that could be cool)
"96.8% .. #PS5" (No idea...maybe referencing closeness to a May 1st reveal?)
"_ _ E / _ E_ / _ _A_ #PS5" (No idea...Some people have been guessing 'The Getaway' which could be cool)
"A galaxy far, far away... from #StarWars #PS5" (Could Savage Starlight make an appearance?)
"Isn't that already common knowledge..?" (To the above one, someone commented about Ratchet & Clank, this was their reply.)
"We're on the road to Hell..." "Viet Cong." (They also retweeted a thing about the next battlefield being confirmed for 2021, so it wouldn't surprise me if we head back to Vietnam)
"#PS5 will initially have much slower uptake than #PS4 In terms of high production, AAA quality video game development and future unit installs, #PS5 will surpass anything & everything that preceded it. Trust me on this, everybody's going to want one. " (sounds good to me)
"Fancy a #DaysGone prequel sequel thingy for #PS5..? Be nice to see how it all began fully 'fleshed' out"
"It sure took its sweet time, but (finally) Sony are almost ready to announce/reveal one helluva big, big #phatpipe #PS5 exclusive."
"It's not a Tower.." "She's boxy, curvy, sleek, and weighty.. You're going to be spending a lot of late nights with her... #PS5" (seems like a catch all description of the console, but I guess we'll see)
"16GB of GDDR6 Ram you say? I wonder what it would be like to have upto 100 GB of virtual ram to go with that..."
"#PS5 Ultra #SSD is so FAST, you could (literally) blink, and #PS5 has already loaded a game into memory, ready to play. It's a two way street too, superfast, uninterrupted gameplay during updates and installs. #PS5 makes #PS4 seem as slow as #PS4 > #PS3"
"If you want to see revived, rebooted, remade classic #PlayStation franchises next gen #PS5, Sony have got you big time! Excitement is killing me softly.."
"What IF the next #MaxPayne was #PS5 exclusive, timed or otherwise?" (I, personally, would love that)
"Werewolves, Vampires and the Great Serpent... #PS5" (My mind immediately went to a The Order sequel)
" [half moon emoji] > [crescent moon emoji] > [bat emoji] #PS5" (No idea...)
"I suppose a lot of you have probably missed the #TwistedMetal series."
"It's really all a matter of perspective, but in my humble opinion, if you plan on picking up both #PS5 and #XboxSeriesX keep them separated. They both look awesome, but their design doesn't really compliment the units very well. You see soon enough..."
"A game that used to be synonymous with one platform is being reintroduced/rebooted for #PS5.. and I'm staying away from twitter the day it is revealed. People are going to be pissed!" and "It is 100% exclusive to Sony. They own the IP now...though they may choose to release it on *PC at some point." (Not sure what this would be....any ideas?)
"Sony has a 3rd person action/shooter game that has 100% destructible environments. Glass looks real & shatters with advanced physics when penetrated by a projectile. It's been in development since late 2016, was originally planned for #PS4. Wish I could tell its name." (Maybe Socom? Syphon Filter?)
"We've experienced 2D and 3D gaming, and we love it.. but did you know Sony are experimenting with 4D gaming? #PS5 My knowledge on the subject is a little weak, though my understanding is the 4th Dimension relates to the space/time continuum. Could be interesting.. " (hmm)
"#HorizonZeroDawn sequel uses Ray Tracing in abundance. Particularly the sky box/water surfaces, and most metallic materials inc. weapons lavished w/ RT, inc. audio. You can explore under water environments now. Sony made RT a (comparative) easy to pull off on #PS5"
They've also been hinting at a Bloodborne sequel
and that's from the last *checks notes* 4 days...
So, whether they're full of it or not, it's certainly a lot of interesting stuff to at least think about.
