Shadow and Flame with Magik

I’m sure that Playstation will trim the hour of pre-show silence to make the video more viewer friendly.

We got a second proper glimpse of the PS5 and along with some games!

First up, was Final Fantasy 16!

Thanks to IGN for hosting the video!

This should make Rob from PlayStation Access very happy and we will probably lose him for a month when the game finally comes out.  This reminds me that I still haven’t played Final Fantasy 15 Royal yet, nor have I bought it.

Truth be told, Black Friday 2021 is probably the soonest I will get a PS5, but one can only hope for it to be sooner.

Second up was Miles Morales : Spider-Man gameplay!

Thanks to IGN for hosting the video!

This game looks amazing!  I can only imagine the Tinkerer is like the Act 1 villain, right?

Game takes place one year after the conclusion of PS4 Spider-Man.  Which I figured Peter would have gone with Mary Jane for the summer, and the game takes place more like a month or two after the previous game, but I imagine they write Peter out of it in another friendly way.

.  .  .

Then there were some other games shown like Call of Duty : Black Ops – Cold War and Resident Evil VIllage, but my interest in those games are not that high.

Fortnite is a launch title!

Thanks to Playstation for hosting the video!

Walker Dennis and I have become a tad obsess with Fortnite in the pass few weeks.  I even stopped my Tomb Raider playthrough last night just so I can play even more Fortnite.  He is close to unlock Jennifer Walters and I am close to unlocking Groot, so that’s pretty exciting.

He is eagerly waiting for either Batman Day (this Saturday) or the DC November Event for Batman to come back to Fortnite, as he’s all about Batman at the moment.

.  .  .

Then arguably the biggest thing that got me excited was the PlayStation Plus Collection!

Thanks again to PlayStation for hosting their own video!

This I need more information about.

The Verge has a pretty good article regarding it :

https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/16/21440388/playstation-plus-collection-ps5-ps4-games-titles

18 Titles are going to be part of the collection, availabe on launch day :

God of War

The Last of Us: Remastered

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Battlefield 1

Monster Hunter World

Fallout 4

Final Fantasy XV

The Last Guardian

Ratchet and Clank

Infamous: Second Son

Days Gone

Bloodborne

Detroit: Become Human

Batman Arkham Night

Mortal Kombat X

Persona 5

Until Dawn

Resident Evil: Biohazard

I have God of War, Fallout 4, and Until Dawn physically, but I would love to get them digitally.  I am really hoping these work like current PS Plus titles, where we can download the games through the store.  I really want it to work like how my Vita titles were just waiting for me once I was treated to that system.

Of the titles, I own most of them through Plus, but there is a slew of them that I do not have access to right now.

Battlefield 1, Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy XV, The Last Guardian, Infamous Second Son, Days Gone, Mortal Kombat X, Persona 5, and Resident Evil Biohazard

So half the titles at nine.  That is a crazy amount of savings!  I imagine these are all coming to Plus in the next few months as well.  At least four of them, I am willing to bet.

Hopefully Plus doesn’t increase too much more than $60, but my amazing wife is usually pretty great to renew my subscription as a Christmas present.  After I helpfully provide her the link to it on Amazon during Black Friday.

.  .  .

We also finally know how much the PS5 is going to be!

$500 for the physical PS5 and $400 for the digital version is amazing!  Especially $400 for digital, I would totally be willing to give up physical and kiss my physical PS4 discs good bye for that price.

Plus, I will be keeping the PS4 and moving it to Walker’s room, so it isn’t like we’re trading one in for another.

It is going to be tough knowing November 12 is coming and the PS5 is going to pass me by this holiday season.

.  .  .

Then Sony Interactive Entertainment’s president and CEO Jim Ryan showed a quick clip of Ragnarok is Coming, which sounded like God of War 2 to me.

Thanks to IGN for hosting the clip!

Also, it is clearly God of War 2.  I don’t recall seeing the initial logo.

Looking for it, I had already forgotten about the Harry Potter game.  Looks interesting.  I will have to ask my wife about what she knows about the lore of Hogwarts from 1800.

Such a great presentation!

Are you buying a PS5 on release day or even this year?
