About this episode
Sony Interactive Entertainment hosted its PlayStation 5 Showcase to detail price, date, and Final Fantasy XV. And it was an excellent presentation that nailed exactly what Sony is great at. And then the show ended and the confusion set in. When are preorders? Wait, games are $70? Is Demon's Souls on PC or not? We talk about all of that and more on this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast. 00:00 - START 10:14 - Show begins 13:08 - Preorder? 13:53 - PS5 Showcase 16:33 - Final Fantasy XVI 24:05 - Hogwarts Legacy 27:28 - God of War 2 29:25 - PS Plus Collection 32:49 - DMC5:SE 33:49 - FNAF 35:00 - Remasters/upgrades 37:30 - $70 games 40:20 - Cross-gen 44:00 - Backward compat 44:40 - $70 DualSense 45:35 - PS5 preorders 51:29 - Xbox preorders 52:39 - Jim Ryan on Series S 57:39 - More news 1:03:15 - When to buy? 1:04:40 - Half-step consoles? 1:06:52 - Wi-Fi 6? 1:07:58 - WE FORGOT NINTENDO! 1:10:00 - Our first Superchat 1:11:43 - Messaging bad? 1:13:10 - Unannounced games? 1:16:17 - Next from Xbox? 1:17:09 - Mass Effect? 1:18:22 - Special consoles? 1:18:52 - All Access preorders? 1:20:08 - E3 moments? 1:26:08 - Ori on Switch 1:27:08 - Mario 3D All-Stars 1:38:10 - Outro
