Should I buy a PS5 for rebirth or just wait for it to come to PC?

[Spark]

I also want to play FF 16 but not sure if buying a ps5 for two games is the play.

If you're okay waiting 1+ years for the PC version of Rebirth.

While I am still sad, that S-E takes exclusive deals as much as they can (see how FFVII Integrade launched, two exclusive deals with S-E (one for the base and once for Intergrade), one with Epic Games Store) and not release those high profile games day one on PS5 and PC I am waiting. Good thing is that there a lot of wonderful games to tide the time and backlogs to clear.

The only thing that is always ugh is that you need to have the whole dance routine of trying to avoid spoilers or not care about them and just enjoy the ride...

People are saying "Get a PS5" but, why? For the exclusives? The console has been out for YEARS and the list of exclusives are trash. I can see if maybe you have a terrible computer or something. But if you don't, then just wait for it to release on PC.

A PS5 is a great PS4 enhancement as you get a bunch of free upgrades, or cheap upgrades that bring old games up to 60 FPS and 1440p resolution.

God of War 2018 had a free 60 FPS patch that plays beautifully. Just did a run of that myself and loved it.

FFXVI is not Worth it, you can play FFVII Rebirth in one of your friends house who have the PS5 or in a local where they have PS5s, you talk to the owner, and ask to install the game in one of the PS5 and then you pay to play for each hour you play and thats it, thats exactly what im gonna do, buy the game and play it in someone's PS5

[Chad Miyazaki]

Nah, just wait, getting a console for early access to a few games (with far worse performance) is kinda dumb

If you have to buy something to get free upgrades, it isn't exactly free is it.

If someone has a decent PC with even a previous gen processor, for the price of a PS5 you could upgrade your GPU and that would still run better than the PS5. The PS4 had WAY more exclusives than the PS5 has now at similar points of its life cycle.

PS1 Life Cycle: 1994–2006 (12 years)
PS2 Life Cycle: 2000–2013 (13 years)
PS3 Life Cycle: 2006–2017 (11 years)
PS4 Life Cycle: 2013-2022 (9 years) - Sony ended reporting sales figures.
PS5 Release: 2020

With us going into the forth year and more than likely based on the descending trends on life cycles...it is probably safe to speculate that the PS5 is getting closer to its half way point. With so little games on the system that you cant already find on Gamepass, Steam, Epic, etc. It just doesn't seem worth it for OP to buy a PS5 for two games.

You also are not considering the lack of mod support on console. Sure maybe most people don't play with mods...but a lot of people enjoy mods.

Wait for it unless you really wanna spend on a PS5 and this game to get 2 summons in Rebirth, also say goodbye to 120fps

The exclusive pre-order summons for FFVIIR(:I) had been also made available on Steam, so it stands to reason, that we will likely get them, too :)

Yeah, and because you have to wait another full year to get the game on Steam they will package all the DLC locked summons in the package to just get the game sold 2 years later.

The 120FPS is funny, they have to wait till November JUST to upgrade from 30FPS to 60FPS.. KEKW

[Private Ryan]

I really hope it won't be exclusive a year for this Part 2. They are a business, and are a for profit company I have a sneaking suspicion that with the release of FF16 and their stock dropping over 20% since FF16 launch that they will need to recover the money some how.

The only thing we can go by right now is the minimum date of May 29th, 2024.

I suspect a summer release on Steam.

Meh. Beats buying another $600 device. You win some, you lose some.

I'll say this again since you clearly didn't understand the first time.

If you already own certain PS4 games, you can download the PS5 version FOR FREE! Jedi Fallen Order, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 7, OR download 60 FPS patches, again, for free! Imagine the simple concept of "for free."

You seem to be forgetting that the PS5 was released at the worst possible time - during the height of Covid 19, you know, that infection that has killed millions of people. That was a thing, and it has affected the game's industry in more ways than just exclusives for consoles. Games are also becoming much more expensive and taking longer to produce, which adds years to AAA releases when a developer doesn't have a very clear vision on what the project is supposed to be.

You're also not considering the idea of "system sellers." You know, those games that entice people to buy a system for. Bloodborne? Many people, including myself, bought a PS4 to specifically play THAT game. It also helped that the console came with The Last of Us Remastered for free too.

Modding? Sure, mods are great. I mod plenty of my PC games, but not everyone cares to do that. Some folks just want to boot up the game and enjoy it as it is; purists you might call them, and a console is good for that.

I also hope that they will release it sooner this time (Remake part 1 had 1,5 years before it came out on pc on epic). I guess Sony + Square have already a pc version ready or nearly ready and just want to wait to get maximum profit on game + ps5 console sales and after the hype dies down they will announce the pc version with maybe a Vincent episode (like Yuffie) to rain in more money again. That's why the vague "at least date".

Based on news reports, they're going to focus on Part 3 with a fully realized Vincent instead of slowing production down with another intermission style DLC. It's the best decision if true.

At the end of the trailer it states that FF7 Rebirth won't be available until 05.29.2024.
So the wait for a pc release could be shorter this time round.
