Oh yeah, where's Lockhart? Hmm, nobody rumoring it to be revealed....on May 7 or summer. I guess if it does exist, maybe the supposed 2nd may event (which is not confirmed to exist AFAIK).

Microsoft has their annual Build event from May 19th - 21st -- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/build but not sure if they've switched to digital only or workshops or just postponed/cancelled/replaced with something else.
Going to be digital, sign up has just opened up I believe.
Xbox has confirmed the inside xbox next week, and also has mentioned about the following one. So their both confirmed.
If there's going to be Lockhart news it will be at the second one when they reveal the prices. If they don't reveal the price at second show then i expect a third show, maybe trying to stretch things out. But hoping that we get everything in two shows.
This doesn't sound like we will see hardware announcements...

I suspect they are both going to try to reveal price last.
Unless either get a bit of inside info, but i doubt either would be too confident in that.
With ms doing 2 shows it does give them the opportunity to do the second after Sony, and still keep the the info coming at a reasonable pace.

Jokes aside though, if she's still in Italy, I really hope she's okay.

I paid over $500 au to get the first ps1 imported, equivalent to over two grand in today’s money.
heck pc games back then were + $250 bucks in today’s money. how things have changed!
Sounds like they’ll both be great machines.
These consoles will be pushing boundaries like nothing before.
The RRP price will be be stated about a month before launch IMO.
there are too many variables at the moment with a very fickle market place to discuss pricing.

Yup. And some of the Government measures rolled for for COVID-19, while for good, have themselves introduced uncertainty. I have friends [here in the UK] where their employer is now in lockdown stasis but where the Government are paying most of their wages, but they fear when the lockdown lifts they employer will close down and they'll be unemployed with unemployment benefit being a fraction of their Government-subsidised wage. But they are effectively stuck employment-wise. Some of them would just just deal with being unemployed in 2 months now. Not knowing is worse.
So yeah. There are going to be a bunch of gamers like yourself who know gaming is going to take a back seat, but also a lot of folks who just don't know at this time and may not know for a while. Some bitter-sweet positives from COVID-19 is a lot of employers have realised that teleconferencing is not only doable but also saves a lot of money. So lightening of load on transport services is inevitable when the lockdown lifts which isn't good if you work for a train/airline company, or a company that makes food for train/airline companies or services/cleans trains/aircraft etc etc. There will be lots of trickle-down effects.
I bet both Microsoft and Sony are having very difficult conversations abut how many consoles to make for Holidays 2020, too many is also bad. You don't want to have to pay to storing millions of consoles - that's expensive. There is only so much channel stuffing you can do approaching/around launch.

Christ! I'm not looking forward to a Sony reveal if they try and string it out for nearly 3 hours again!

Oh absolutely. Was taking more about the MTV interviews and executives. I'd happily let 12hrs of Cerny wash over me.
So according to this guy, his sources claim that the PS5 is supposed to have 2 events.
One on 27th of May
and the second on June 4th
Mostly the first one is about reveal of the PS5.
At least 3 exclusive games will be shown:
- Gran Turismo
- Bluepoint game (he knows what it is)
- and a game announced last year without a platform and it became a PS5 exclusive
Looking back at one of the reveals from VGA 2019, a game called Prologue came up to me. It's the new game from the creator of PUBG and it sure looks amazing like that Book of the Dead Unity demo except in the rain. So could this be the secret PS5 exclusive?

That's not a great heritage. PUBG was from a modder, right? And by reports it's been buggy and had notable issues, with people ignoring these for the gameplay. Presumably their new title is another Unreal Engine creation.
Well, with 50 million copies sold I guess by now finance should afford him to hire decent coders, designers, etc on this project, at least one would hope. I'm keen as hell to see more of it from the brief description.
@Shifty Geezer PUBG is made by Bluehole, a Korean game developer. Player Unknown is an arma2 modder they hired. The game is definitely notable for having been buggy etc. It's come a long long way. I'm curious if a new game would be UE. Apparently Bluehole was very upset with Epic over Fortnite BR.
Yep. All the expertise is invested in UE. They won't have their own engine, and middleware options for a 'AAA' game aren't that numerous so why reposition?
