The PS5? But that's just kids' tales, stories parents tell their little ones at bedtime to get them to turn off their XBoxes.

It's not real.

.....is it?

 

[Tangerine]

Did you forget about the pandemic? LOL

I guess microsoft did?

 

[DForce]

read the thread.

ZhugeEX said the price of the PS5 was decided earlier this year.

He could be right about RE8, but his sources seems very shaky.

 

[Rayderism]

My biggest concern is that PS4 has almost 3000 games and the PS5's PS4 BC is only 99%, then which ~300 games won't work?

 

[Xorbus]

Something is not right with this new launch.
How the heck are we less than 2 months away from having that new video game at home but we still didn't see a real one? Why are we only seeing renders this late in the game? For half a year Sony tells us that "what you are seeing was captured from real hardware" but where is this "real" hardware actually playing the game? Where? So far we only have seen the new controller.

Not only that, the software also.
What about the new SO? What changed, what is new?
Why Sony isn't showing us anything at all?

Surely, there's something that they're trying to hide?

Thought about COVID, maybe?

 

[PontiusFeeb]

Covid is hitting both new consoles hard, and we're very lucky to be getting them this Xmas at all.

 

[Xorbus]

read the thread.

Another control freak maniac idiot. Nobody cares about "4K gaming", it's an artificial gimmick used to frame the competition into something they might not be comfortable with.

 

[Riky]

I presume the software we've seen is on Dev kits, the actual console is big could be loud and hot and might have thermal issues. Until people actually have them in hand we only really know that it's massive.

 

[Spyro]

 

[SoloKingRobert]

We haven't even seen a proper game running on XSX....

I have no doubt that when I open the box to use my PS5, it will be a real console and not a render.

 

[Neo_game]

Microsoft actually send empty boxes of SS and SX to youtubers. I thought that was weird way to get attention. I do not think Sony needs to do something silly like this. We know it is a big console and there will be a proper videos of sooner or later.

 

[Ps5ProFoSho]

Slow down on the mountain dew enimas and snorting doritos dust OP.

 

[Nester99]

I guess microsoft did?

Did they ?

Halo Infinite indicates the pandemic has impacted launch.

 

[Arkam]

Gonna make a bold assumption they are mostly EA Sports games. Just a guess based on the fact on MS BC on X1X. Most of my EA Sports games from 360 wont work and have to use my 360.. I would hope that that people have learned how to appropriately license music and likenesses so they can be forward compatible.

 

[spawn]

Are you saying that the console doesn't exist? What if I don't exist? What if this is the Matrix and I'm in a simulation?

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

Actually this big shell was made to make the console quiet, as for what Cerny explained.

From "what we currently know" Sony is finishing arrangements to start flying hardware cross the word. If they're doing this then this must means that the work on the hardware is finished, that the version 1.0 of the SO is finished, and yet we see nothing...

"Covid" shouldn't be even more reason to show the thing more during these online shows?

 

[autoduelist]

I heard they're just duct taping two ps3's together and calling it a day.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Demon's Souls looks great, considering it's a launch title I expect things to only look better past that, the best looking PS4 games came out THIS YEAR. Not worried.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Can you link to some photos of an Xbox Series X that aren't likely just of the hollow shell? Because I think that actually is all they've shown, outside of renders.

 

[iconmaster]

Thank you! I really hadn't seen that. Cool.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Thank you! I really hadn't seen that. Cool.

Well in all honesty, there's an entire video showing the insides

 

[MasterCornholio]

 

[iconmaster]

I've been under a rock, apparently.

 

[Tangerine]

Everyone has been impacted by covid. I meant it's no excuse to not have a tear down/see the internals or the UI of the ps5, at this stage in the game.

 

[mitch1971]

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Bottom line is a PS4 Pro cost $400 right now. For $400 I just got a PS5 that will play PS4 games even more "pro", and will have some amazing games in the future. Not much reason to wait when the prices won't be going down for potentially years.

 

[Venom Snake]

When you remove the flaps of the "PS5" it just has two PS4 Pros inside, it was a lie all along, you've been deceived and bamboozled like the fools you are.

 

[NullZ3r0]

the fud for the ps5 is unreal.

Sony has delivered plenty of consoles and gadgets of very high quality over what??...50 years?? and NOW its suspicious?? Lol, get out of here.

Microsoft has delivered plenty of games over 3 console launches, and now its suspicious that we've seen no games running on it.

 

[Klayzer]

Must be JustP_gaming alt account.

My first take also. Just can't help themselves. I bet him and Jon have been slobbing at the mouth to get their shots in.

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

Jim Ryan to GamesIndustry.biz:
"We haven't shown yet any of the user experience of the PS5, and there's some really cool stuff to come on that."

Good, he finally acknowledged that "something that he hasn’t revealed yet needs to be revealed and will be revealed soon", progress!

 

[Epic Sax CEO]

The new Boxes are already in the wild while the PS5 remains missing from the public eyes.
When will Sony finally show us something, anything, concrete about how the actual console and system works?

The new Boxes are proven to be a very well rounded product. Some of the reason are fortunate consequences of everything that Microsoft did and built thus far since the fist Xbox, and for once the future is promising. Meanwhile, talking about promises... the biggest advantages that Sony the first party exclusives, but where are them? They're just promises, expectation that they'll come, right? Just that vague promise is enough to prevent players from switching to the new Boxes? Maybe this is the reason why Sony announced God of War 2 so soon with just a logo, to maintain the promise of worthwhile exclusives?

I wonder if brand loyalty is enough for Sony.
Wasn't for Nintendo with the WiiU.
I'll say it, it's possible that the PS5 is shaping up to become Sony's WiiU?
Don't misunderstand my, if anything I'd be called a Sony fanboy, but it's hard to remain positive.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

How can I hold all these concern threads?

[JohnnyFootball]

Dude, he has no clue what he's talking about. He's been proven to not have an idea.

Why do people still post his stuff?

Because he supposedly got one thing right.

 

[CrysisFreak]

Mark Cerny is a FRAUD. Instead of working on PS5 he spends his time playing Ghost of Tsushima while logged into PSN.
I demand my money back. NOW. He didn't even bother to set his status to offline to pretend like he's actually working.
/s

 

[Eliciel]

Yes, it is

 

[MadchesterManc]

People should lay off the Weetabix in the morning

Yeah, why isn't he in the factory right now assembling his precious SSDs.

 

[AntonioBanderasXsX]

Well yeh the PS5 shell is so huge because actually it just contains a PS4 inside, some unlucky sobs will even get just two ps2s tape together

 

[Paulxo87]

later next month there will be a week of ps5 event. Videos every day solely focused on PS5. Teardown and OS on one day - footage of more games each day, etc.

 

[mikefrails]

It's the 5th console from them, you know what you're getting.

 

[Flying Toaster]

I agree. The PS5 is fake and now I feel like quite the fool for purchasing a pre-order. I knew it was fake deep down inside when they said $499. I knew the lies when they released it as a giant white tower. The real tell was Demon's Souls being a day one game.

The system does not exist. The Souls is a lie.

 

[MoreJRPG]

The fact that all the devs that have have hands on with the console have said nothing but great things about it leads me to believe that the console does exist and that yes, it is very, very, very good.

This is some flat earth level shit. Amazing OP.

 

[ShirAhava]

It will have 7 years to bring stuff to the table (Better on the table that under it...). Do not worry, you will get owned...

A system a censors games can't "own" anything

lol@ PS5 aka "PS4 PRO SUPER" being around for seven years

The PS5 Pro should be an interesting system at least I hope

 

[DeepEnigma]

How can I hold all these concern threads?

Certainly not enough usable space on all 3 consoles, but for $220... !!!

 

[lastmessiah]

This is some flat earth level shit. Amazing OP.

Seems like legitimate concerns to me.
