Right now i'm like 60/40 on whether it comes today or tomorrow.

DualSense just arrived. First impression of just the feel of it while off, its amazing!!

First off it just looks amazing, what a sexy piece of tech. The weight of it is great, its a fair bit heavier than DS4 which is perfect. It also fits into my hands much nicer. It feels a lot like an XB1 controller which just feels amazing to hold and clearly outclassed the dualshock 4, the Dualsense is now on par. The triggers feel a fair bit nicer than the dualshock and the shoulder bumpers are a big improvement. Analogue sticks are much nicer, they grip better and it feels like I have much more precise control, although that may just be due to so much use on my dualshocks.

So yeah, just awesome all round, can't wait to use this thing.

Yeah it's great. Only 2 downgrades from ds4 imo. The create+options button are a little tiny. The rumble has less oomph.

I love everything else about it!

Is your PS5 going to make it?

Is your PS5 going to make it?

Yes. Still not sure on yours?

[the-pi-guy]

Yes. Still not sure on yours?

It says there was a delay.  

A late flight has caused a delay. We will update the delivery date as soon as possible.

But it still seems on track for a later delivery today.

[the-pi-guy]

Yep, it's happening!!!  

         

[Legend]

Yep, it's happening!!!  

         

YAY!!!!!!

We need a thread for Demon's Souls and Spiderman imo. I'm not buying either though so no thread from me.

[DerNebel]

Well I bought Demon's Souls and Spider Man MM. Now I get to stare at the boxes for a week and hope Amazon doesn't fudge me over next week.

Though the guy in the store already said that deliveries are expected to arrive between 19th and 26th, since quote: "Trying to deliver 150k consoles in a day would mean no other items could be delivered that day". No idea how literal he meant that number.

Edit: Probably not very

Era rumor thread
https://www.resetera.com/threads/rumor-sony-to-acquire-bluepoint-games.324523/

According to my source that is familiar with the development team Bluepoint Games, they're finalizing a deal right now. It seems like Demon's Souls was kind of the "final test", and based on positive reactions, and the fact that Bluepoints work ethic has proven impressive once again Sony started acquisition-based talks with the studio.

The important parts of the deal are as follows

From Bluepoint's angle:
They want to make sure they get a shot at an original IP, they don't want to be simply a "remake studio" (Even if they make more remakes)
While they value and love their independence, they also realize the industry is rapidly growing and evolving. They feel comfortable with their existing partnership with Sony and decided to sell to them.
From Sony's angle:
Very impressed with the work-ethic from Bluepoint. Creates groundbreaking remakes, at a good pace.
They have a good relationship with other SIE studios, particularly Sony Japan Studios that they worked together with during both Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls. (Ape Escape fans, whatupppp) ((that wasn't an ape escape remake teaser, literally don't know anything about what they're doing after souls))
The expertise, skill, and tech that Bluepoint has for their remakes can be used for future projects not necessarily made by them. (In other words, if Team Asobi decides to create an Ape Escape Remake, they can go to Bluepoint for help)

The deal is being finalized and should be announced shortly, the time period I've been given is that it'll happen before February 28th. If it doesn't, it might not happen/be false information given to me. This means that you're free to discredit me as it most likely won't happen for one reason or another

We've spoken with MarsipanRumpan and while they may have sources, they weren't able to provide any concrete evidence to support these claims. So take it with a grain of salt. MarsipanRumpan is posting this at their own risk and has agreed to accept a ban if these don't pan out by 2/28/2021.

Got my PS5 Digital Edition from Somy Direct this morning, opened it up and found a disc-based console in the box!

I’m not mad at all, just thought it was crazy! Either way, here’s to a new generation!! #PS5 pic.twitter.com/rRfGsh32Yx

a good aquisition imo.

bluepoint clearly has some impressive technical expertise.  very impressive and they deserve to be more than just a remaster studio.

i still fear that since they've literally only worked on remasters for the last however many years that they lack the creative expertise to create a new IP.  New IP is hard for any studio and I'd hate to see them fail by biting off too much.  I think they deserve a shot but maybe first they should wade into the waters not via a new IP but via a new entry in an existing IP.  It's a decent balance between creating new stuff but also building on something successful.

However, i took a look at sony's backlog and and not seeing a great option of something that is beloved enough to reboot while fitting in with something even close to demon's souls.  not that bluepoint needs to be limited to only that type of game but between demon's souls and shadow of the colossus a third person adventure is a proven gameplay area for them.

ICO remake or a ICO/SOTC spiritual successor please!!!
