Sounds fantastic.
I want to know if the PS4 backwards compatible part will handle the games like a PS4 pro

The PS5 is confirmed to output at 8K, I think it'll be fine.

Rather than systems that output games in 8K and 1640 P or whatever I'd like one that I can play on a TV that's smaller than 50 inches and still be able to read what's on the screen

I found my answer

Quote:
However, the PS4 games will run a bit faster on PS5, thanks to the inclusion of a solid-state drive (SSD). As an example, Cerny compared the load times for fast travel in Spider-Man. The PS4 Pro load took roughly 15 seconds, but the same sequence took less than one second on the PS5 dev kit. So if you upgrade your hardware, you'll probably have a nice smoother experience in some respects.
Spiderman is enhanced for Pro at least

Faster loading times being a given makes sense since anything else would likely require special patches made by devs for their games.

Might have some rare cases where backwards compatibility could cause problems if certain stuff is hard coded like with GTA V and Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 or if the PS5's emulator is a bit wonky like Xbox 360's emulator for original Xbox games.

For those interested in the Switch version of Final Fantasy X-2 Remaster, apparently Square Enix made things a lot more of a hassle than needed to be for the game if you opt for the physical release.

What Square Enix has seemingly done is tie Final Fantasy X and X-2 together as one download, with the latter serving as what is basically DLC for the former. Meaning, even if you redeem the X-2 download code packed into the western edition of the physical version, you still need the game cart to play it. If you trade it in, you can't boot up the downloaded X-2.

Square Enix announced they will be holding their E3 2019 press conference on June 10 at 6PM PST. Might be a pre-taped conference like others they've held in the past.

For some reference, that timeslot was Sony's traditional spot at E3 before they decided to not hold one this year.

Next game in the Call of Duty series is currently rumored to be Modern Warfare 4 based on a supposed leak during a recent Call of Duty co-promoted event held by Activision and the NFL.

Also fueling speculation of this game being Modern Warfare 4 was a report from Eurogamer about this event that sneaked in the game's title via a coded message trick.

* According to EA and Respawn Entertainment, the future of the Titanfall series has been put on an indefinite hold due to the success of Apex Legends and Respawn only has 2 dev teams in the studio. Since one team is currently busy with Apex Legends and the other with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, they don't have the manpower needed for a third project any time soon.
https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legend...n-apex-legends

* Based on Nintendo's recent fiscal report, the Switch has sold over 34 million consoles since its launch and surpassed the N64 as the 4th best selling console in company history. In regards to game sales, Super Smash Bros Ultimate sold more copies since its launch (13.81 million) than Wii U did for its lifetime console sales (13.56 million).

* According to Variety, Microsoft will be holding a special event at Mojang studios celebrating Minecraft's 10th anniversary but have banned series creator Notch from the event. Official reason due to his habit of making controversial statements in recent years and Microsoft no longer wanting any association with him.
https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news...ve-1203200050/

* Based on Koei Tecmo's recent fiscal report, Dead or Alive 6 has sold around 350k digital copies since its launch and well below the 600k they were expecting in digital sales by now.

* NetherRealm Studios is currently dealing with allegations of management abusing Mortal Kombat 11's crunch time with 80-100 work weeks being common. The studio is also alleged to have purposely paid Q&A testers lower pay than typical for their work due to their over-reliance on temp workers to cut costs.
https://www.pcgamer.com/former-devs-...kombat-studio/

* Epic Games is also currently dealing with allegations of harmful crunch time demands and toxic work environment issues for Fortnite according to a report from Polygon. In Epic's case, these issues went well into the game's post-launch due to management's increasing demands for the game to generate more money the more successful it became.

Valve needs to do what Netflix did when threatened with other services. Original content. They're literally sitting on some of the most successful, critically acclaimed IPs in modern gaming history.

Totally down for a new Ghost Recon game if it's setup like Wildlands. Aside from the end of that game, it was a blast.

* According to a report from Gameindustry.biz, Starbreeze Studios is currently facing serious financial issues and could potential shut down within the next 12 months unless a new investor is found.

* According to a report from Kotaku, over 150 employees recently walked out of Riot Games in protest of the company's toxic workplace environment and poor handling of their recent discrimination lawsuits. The tipping point was the company recently filed a motion for all of their lawsuits to be placed into Forced Arbitration as a way to prevent their employees from filing more lawsuits against the company.

Would not be surprised if NetEase went and invested money into Starbreeze to keep them afloat. Or just outright bought them to add to their little collection of studios.

Jesus Christ, this industry.

The combination of terrible work environments and ridiculous levels of greed is making this hobby so fucking gross.

At this point I’m almost hoping for another crash. God knows I’ve got enough in my backlog to keep me busy until it’s rebuilt.

Rumor mill seems to think FF7 Remake is going to get a new trailer/big announcement at Sonys State of Play tomorrow. Secondary rumor is that perhaps it might be the rereveal of Deep Down from Capcom. Seems those are the 2 front runners for the announcement by a wide margin.

Ubisoft accidentally leaked their big Tom Clancy announcement early.

Next Ghost Recon game is called "Ghost Recon Breakpoint" and in terms of storyline timeline, it takes place after Wildlands' Operation Oracle DLC pack.

Walker (played by Jon Bernthal) and his army of mechanized drones. Sounds like a political statement, despite Ubisoft not doing that.

Not much else is known about the title. A Reddit thread claims there will be four-player co-op with the game releasing on October 4, 2019, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We don't have any confirmation on PvP or whether the game will be open-world like its predecessor (though I imagine it will be). What we do know is that a Ubisoft Store exclusive "Wolves" edition will be available. That will come with a 24cm figure of Cole, a map and art book, a Year 1 DLC pass, the "Ultimate Pack," and three-day early access.

Just change the location, keep the core gameplay intact, you can have my $60.

Yeah it does. Love the new realistic touches like getting shot in the leg affecting movement, and being able to move enemy and ally bodies.

Sony State of Play summary:

New Final Fantasy 7 remake teaser. More to be revealed at E3.




Monster Hunter World: Icebourne. Goes live 9/9/2019 for PS4 and XB1. PC sometime this winter.


Medieval Remake, October 25th 2019.




New Predator game. Predator: Hunting Grounds. Coming 2020. Sounds like it's gonna play like Evolve. Multiplayer, 1 player is The Predator, everyone else is part of a fireteam hunting him down.




And finally, this year's Days of Play special edition PS4.




There's other small tidbits. But I'm sure you're able to track them down.

Fuck.

I wanted an open world Predator game.

Using the evolve formula is a pretty neat idea though.

Likely they're going off the concepts they used in the Jason game, which blows Evolve out the water in terms of asymmetric gameplay. Predator is a good fit.

Apparently Yukes finally realized major changes are desperately needed for their WWE gaming series.

They are forming a new internal dev team who will be working on a brand new wrestling IP. The idea is to use this new IP to create internal competition and provide the motivation needed for the rest of the studio to make better WWE games.

Also admitted that AKI leaving the wrestling genre was the worst thing to happen since it created the void in competition and led to them becoming too complacent in making WWE games.

Futura said the studio may “find a way to do things in the way that we want, in terms of our existing relationship with our publisher”. However, for the time being its solution is to create its own rival wrestling IP.

“We are trying to launch a new wrestling game,” she said. “Of course, we will retain the WWE team, but we are also aware that our creators are beginning to lose sight of their passion and confidence and becoming focused only on completing assigned tasks. That’s not the direction Yuke’s wants to go in. So, in order to compensate, we’re going to start a new wrestling project.”

Furuta said the unnamed project is at a “very early” stage and that Yuke’s has ideas for new game systems it thinks will result in “an interesting game”.
