Pfuuu we are in for a whole year of console wars and bans.
Oh just you wait when we get to November. I'm expecting both consoles to be quite close to each other, both great and a huge improvement over the current gen. But with enough differentiating/unique features that it would itself guarantee a category 4 shitstorm for weeks. But I still am also a firm believer in HZD 2 as a launch title for PS5 (nothing to prove it so pure speculation). And Halo Infinite is coming out.
If that becomes a reality, better invest in popcorn futures way in advance.
An action/adventure for Sony (3rd person, naturally) vs. Halo (well, duh). Both will undoubtedly look great. And offer so wildly different art style and gameplay that comparisons will be completely pointless. But comparisons you'll get, screenshot after screenshot with posters going "JUST LOOK AT IT!!!", minute details being way over-analyzed ("clearly that pixel is not a true RT reflection, it's just screen space!") and of course, both sides trying to actively shit on the other's main launch title (despite them not even competing for the same audience, even if they'd exist on both platforms).
Sure, the signal-to-noise ratio will take a deep dive for a long time - but just look at the leaks thread, it's not very high currently either. At least then we'd have some true passion. Blood, sweat and tears. Most likely some shit and a couple of farts too. It would be awesome.
