Didn't Sony say they would record all voice chat for 'moderation' purposes? Not spying on you in the traditional sense, but that'd still involve recording everything you say while playing.

Oh wow, that seems rude! Basically, you prefer the PC over the PS5. You think you can say anything you want to curse the new machine? Censorship, spying players?! Come on.
Calm down decade, we're just having a friendly discussion

Thanks to everyone for answering my question about the censorship. The DMC 5 situation sucks since it's so arbitrary

As for the voice chat thing, most big voice chat things are recorded. Your Alexa and Google Play voice stuff is recorded. Your Xbox https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/07/02/a ... -recorded/ is recorded. So that doesn't bother me so much, since it's not like Sony is actively listening to people as they chat

I didn’t plan to get a PS5 on launch, but when I learnt back compatibility seems super high (yet I’m still worried it won’t be « good » back compat ») I sold my PS4 Pro. The cost to move to PS5 is kinda low than way. But I’m a digital edition guy.

Not getting one. I'm plenty comfortable with a i7 8700+RTX2060 6GB setup. My brother on the other hand may save up for one next year.

Originally I was going to pick one up when it comes out but due to a death in the family I am left with too many expenses and had to use the money I was saving for it for other things.

Oh man, sorry to hear about that Ghost. There's probably not much I can do, but I hope you're okay

I was not going to get first wave because i thought i couldn't get one but to my luck i got a message from one of my stores they started preorder and when i went to store i was the first one arrived for preorder so i preordered it. They are getting 8 machines so I believed that was a sign of karma.

The problem is PS5 and SX is that you can play almost all the same games on current gen making buying a next gen console less appealing, when there is a game that I am interested in isnt on the PS4 I will be buying one.

I won't be picking up a PS5 (or Series X) anytime soon as I've slowed down on console gaming considerably over the last year and change. Nothing next gen screams "must need" to me, so I'm good with my current XBX and PS4 Pro. And my PC is serving me perfectly fine because the only games I'm sinking a lot of time into right now are FF14 and PSO2.

they pretty much admitted that once the new ps5 will come out they will use it to spy on gamers to "fight toxisity"

That's a helluva click-bait-y looking video there.

No. PLAYERS record locally, and then if you report someone, you can send that to Sony for moderation. Sony doesn't record anything.

Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards

Not gonna get a PS5 just yet as Sony realized that if they released most of the launch titles on JUST the new console, then they're gonna loose money instead of gain it and decided to put the two big games I'm excited for (Spider-Man Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West) on the PS4 as well. Microsoft has had the right idea since day 1 with the Xbox Series X IMO by not having any games be on just the new system after it launches along with letting people upgrade to the new version for free if they do get the new Xbox.

I will but not yet. I will buy 2 games before the console just for collection purpose (Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and MK 11 Ultimate). I don't like the plain white design either so I will wait for a colored model (probably the God of War edition next year)
