Wish Sony would sell an official asymmetric controller. My arthritis in my left hand has become to bad for my thumb to reach the left stick properly.

In all seriousness, isn't there rumours that it's got a camera built in?

I hope not. Can't see many benefits of having yet another camera around...

I think it will be a port to place different accessories... Maybe VR related. Very intriguing.

I'm pretty happy that it will have a 4K BD. I'm still one of those people that prefer to actually purchase games.

Let us know if you guys are alive. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Edit : Damn, beaten by Ethomaz. Ahh well he forgot to add one member though.


Not sure what's so funny, it's still the same story, hardware support =/= hardware accelerated a.k.a RT cores. Also, I doubt either will have RT cores, just making fun of your ridiculous back and forth, which is still funny btw lol.

I do feel like playstation is already ahead of microsoft with this announcement.
Playstation 5 is now on peoples mind and wil be the first to be really talked about as the next gen console.
Micorsoft is now already playing catch up especially since they were already badly behind.

And most of all.. Playstation is in a really good spot when it comes to naming their next gen console.
Microsoft wil most likely come up with some shitty name again like xbox two while the playstation 5 is already the most talked about.

Seems like a good move on sony part to release this so early and just do it simply with a tweet

This would be a mistake imo. PS4 was so successful in large part due to clinging to the edge of mass market pricing. $499 is definitely over that edge, and $599 is way over that edge.

That said, with what they seem to promising in terms of hardware, $399 seems impossible. I'm expecting $499 for better or for worse.

Funny how Sony isnt talking much about BC... tells you enough

They already announced BC with PS4 during Sony's Investors Relations Day. Most of the PS5 core features have previously been released or semi-discussed. Slow leak of information until Q1 2020, its not really hard to figure out. The PS4 will remain the focus until sometime next year.

The worst thing is now having to wait for more info in 2020. I don't like wishing away this time of year leading up to Christmas as it's my favourite....
 
Wait what the fuck, out of nowhere just like this? Nice stuff by Sony, Microsoft wasted 2 E3 conferences to do the same job lol.

Please not that tales from.... again.

It was announced as hardware but some spined to software.
Now Sony clearly says hardware and you want to spin to software again?

Dreams won't come true.
Welcome to reality.

I'm not a fan of the idea of adding even more stuff to the new Dualshock. Talk to the devs first and encourage them to be more creative. The speaker and the touchpad function were barely used this gen, especially when we're talking about third party games. Just more things to drain the battery.

I'm not cool with a tweet announcing the Playstation 5.

I need an audience of trained monkeys to cheer and whoop to target videos.

Kinda feels flat, even the announcement only got 11k likes on twitter.

(Yes Im aware they did that weird announcement earlier in the year, but that felt like more of an admission it was happening).
They're still going to have a reveal to show off launch window games

So the PlayStation 5 it's :
  • CPU Zen 2 custom with 8 cores
  • GPU Navi/RDNA custom
  • SSD custom
  • Ray Tracing Hardware support
  • Up to 8K
  • 4K UHD support
  • 120Hz support
  • Dualshock 5 with usb type-c
  • 3D Audio support
  • Blu-Ray physical support 4K 100 GB.
  • Digital support and streaming
  • Cross save
  • Backward compatible with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR
  • Launch at the end of 2020
Sounds like a dream *crying*
 
Still no word on Backwards compatibility beyond the PS4? Still not interested.

Also Sony tends make a lot of unfulfilled promises prior to launch so I'll wait and see how much of this actually comes to fruition.

So. What about the price? 499?? What you guys think
tbh i don't have much hope for 399 :/

$649+ Canadian —-> very slow uptake here. I see 24-36 months where 99% of stuff is cross gen. I kinda want to get one at launch, but this home owning thing has made me into one cheap bastard, lol. Psnow/stadia/gamepass....looking better, haha. Lag aint so bad, it gives me time to appreciate whats going on on screen.
