I might just wait for Sony and MS to announce the prices.

I don't think it's legit. Sony already confirmed that the only difference between the two versions is the disc drive. I'm just saying, that would be tough to pass up if true.

Looks like next gen is bringing us next gen pricing. NBA 2K21 will be $69.99 for the standard PS5/XSX version.  I could understand this about games not littered with micro-transactions, costs go up but a game like this or Madden. Nah.

My thoughts exactly. NBA 2K21 is not the best choice to test this new price point.

I've paid more for Genesis games back in the day (Street Fighter 2), but they were complete games that didn't charge extra for DLC.

I know game development is much more expensive now, but companies make up a lot of that with season passes, deluxe editions and all the other DLC. There's also a much bigger market to sell to.

I almost always wait for sales anyway, so this won't affect me as much anyway.

Looks really nice, NBA 2K never fails to impress on console launches.

First thing I noticed with the gameplay was that the players were not sliding all over the court. I guess they finally figured out proper foot planting.

Here's a good side-by-side comparison:

I keep leaning more and more towards the Xbox Series X. I know it's not important, but I can't stand the look and form factor of the PS5 and can really see myself holding off until they release a slim model.

It was pretty much a given for me with gamepass and the better controller for my hands. Did you read the review?  At least the end of it?  ^-^

My enormous backlog will move right over to PS5 when I can find one.

I read the whole thing ;)

Me too.  That asshole should quit “doomscrolling” and go tell all those “evil” medical personnel at their “evil” health care institutions how “evil” they are.  Guy needs a punch in the face. And he really needs to keep that shit out of his reviews.

I can start a new backlog on a new platform. In all seriousness, I'll have to break my long-time rule and get two consoles next generation. I'll need a PS5 to carry over my enormous backlog too, along with their first party games that my son and I enjoy (Spider-man, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Last of Us), and I'll get an Xbox Series X for Game Pass and all the Xbox One backwards compatibles games I missed this generation (mainly Forza and Gears).

I am going to try my hardest to hold off until Sony releases a PS5 slim. I think Microsoft did a much better job with their new console and controller.

Doomscrolling? Is that when a teen is surfing for porn with their parents in the next room?

Cyberpunk gameplay footage on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X.  Rooms seem empty, a lack of pedestrians around the city (Covid still around in 2077?) and gunplay that is not impressive. Still getting it but less impressed with this footage.
