PS5 Vs Xbox Series X: Sony Got It - And Left Microsoft Behind [comment]

The PS5 in white? I'll still have to get used to that. But that's also the only question mark after the PlayStation event. Because with the gaming lineup that Sony has shown, I am more than fixated. A commentary by Claudio Müller

Horizon 2: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Hitman 3, Resident Evil 8, Demon's Souls, GTA 5 (again) and promising new exclusive titles - it tingles hard in me. A feeling that Microsoft couldn't give me.

What is a new console about? Teraflops and memory bandwidths? No, it's about the games and the fun of gaming. Sony understood that and showed a colorful bouquet of games for the PlayStation 5 that are already forcing me to plan vacations - probably for the whole of 2021. Do you remember the games that Microsoft showed at the gameplay event in May Has? No? My memory has faded too. Hellblade 2 was there, Dirt 5. Oh yes, an Assassin's Creed. All cool games, and of course, I'm also looking forward to the Xbox Series X - it will definitely be a fine piece of gaming hardware. But where was the fire?

I felt it last night. The anticipation for the new edition of Demon's Souls alone makes me really wild. It was my first “From Software” experience back then, and Boletaria got me ready, brought me to my knees, made me doubt my skills. Time for a return, time for my revenge!

In addition to the (admittedly expected) sequels - Horizon Zero Dawn 2, Resident Evil 8, Hitman 3, Gran Turismo 7, Spider-Man - I was particularly surprised by the new (and at least temporarily PS5-exclusive) games. Project Athia looks fantastic, Returnal looks like a promising space horror survival game, Little Devil Inside will hopefully be as fun as the trailer promises. And stray? Well, you can't go wrong with cats, can you?

What's on the PS5? All newly announced PS5 games at a glance.

The fact that GTA 5 was reissued seemed lame to me at first. The older ones of you will remember - that originally came for the PS3 and has already been reissued for the PS4. It's still a great game, but isn't it time for GTA 6? Come on, rock star, finally give us … what the hell. Make the highways unsafe again with Trevor - why not?

Just take a look at the beautiful Horizon: Forbidden West on PS5:

So what's left after the PS5 launch? Clearly: 2021 will be a festival for gamers. The PS5 games shown yesterday, the new Xbox - and there are also various other previously announced productions (somehow I also have to dig a few hundred hours for Diablo 4 …). The self-chosen isolation of the past Corona months will continue. What are you doing not for the good of the community?
