Day one regardless.

Exactly...I'm here for da games

 

[Spukc]

I know. I was continuing the joke.

 

[Kdad]

V is for Virgin cos everybody who plays videogamez is a virgin.

Speak for yourself, I've had "relations" with every console since the Atari 2600

 

[TLZ]

r/woooosh
Omg man it was a joke...

Looks like the joke's on you this time

 

[Jigsaah]

Im pretty sure those are intakes. It makes sense especially for the dev kit because those are usually stacked.

I see, it would still sound like a jet engine.

 

[DonJimbo]

devkits are for work not for looking at it. Those are also finished devkits. Up until release of console devkits themselves are just PCs usually bad looking. PS4 devkit for example was PC with normal PC parts hardware with custom drivers for it featuring GPU radeoon HD7970 with extra memory while final retail gpu is some sort slight upgrade over 7850

I know
Hope the ps5 pro looks like the devkit its amazing

 

[Meowzers]

I still think it looks like a toilet seat.

Has it left you feeling...flush-trated?

Will you be picking up Unsharted 5 for it when it...drops?

Or maybe a new iNfanus game?

You'll have toi-let me know.

I'm curious how important small consoles really are. I assume so being that they try to pump out slim versions, but are those really more about saving manufacturing costs and less about consumer demand for small boxes?

For me, I couldn't care less if a console is large. It makes no difference to me. I have a normal entertainment area. If the thing was the size of a stereo receiver it would be fine by me. More space for ease of cooling?

Remember the Original Xbox was mocked for its size?

 

[Negotiator]

Does anyone think this could be a 250-300W console?

I'm really curious to see the innards. All those vents can't be for nothing.

I've had the PSV for a long time. Playing it right now on the bus!

I to do not care for the size.
I think design is more important, apart from its power brick, the OG X1 is one of my favourite console designs, it does not look intrusive in a media cabinet and it actually looks like a quality piece of tech.
PS4 designs were just weird and looked kinda silly, trying to stand out for the sake of standing out.

 

[Ceallach]

I like small consoles. Nothing is cooler than a base PC Engine.

 

[Breakage]

The V could be a tribute to women like the V in Battlefield V.

 

[TLZ]

Remember the Original Xbox was mocked for its size?

Still love it.

 

[thelastword]

Remember the Original Xbox was mocked for its size?

Yes, but it was just a big black square box with no style...... OG XBOX just went for mass, the Duke controller was a behemoth as well.....

 

[RainblowDash]

That would be a cool design for a finished product imo

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If that metal v-shape dev skit is the final design, it will look awesome if the console is modestly sized.... like Xbox X sized or smaller.

But if it's huge (like it seems) it will look tacky.

If so, just go with the traditional dark grey or black square/rectangular system

[FrostyJ93]

Good video. Historical proof that the retail PS5 will probably look nothing like the devkit.

Hey, it's possible or even very likely that PS5 does not look like this devkit...…...But how is this video proving anything...….PS5 looking like this devkit can be as simple as this......

Ryan: Lots of buzz on the look of the devkit on the internet, DO IT...

Historical precedence can be thrown out the window with a simple 'thumbs up".....or decision.....

 

[phil_t98]

Isn’t the V upside down though so techniqly not a V. Looks interesting choice for a dev kit

I mean even if its "similar" its not gonna be exact. That's just common sense.

I suppose something like PS2 is possible. Same design language but in a smaller and sleaker, more consumer facing ready package.

Yeah, that's understandable, but since so many like the design it behooves them to give it some thought......at least....

 

[NickFire]

I have no problem with that design at all. If extra vents boosts the power (by allowing faster speeds), bring on the vents.

 

[FrostyJ93]

I will say this the devkit design does tell me that sony is taking cooling serious.

 

[Insane Metal]

Does anyone think this could be a 250-300W console?

300W is waaay too much. I believe ~200W is viable. 200~230W.

 

[AgentP]

I wonder how they are going to handle additional storage? They can't have devs making games for a super fast SSD and then have users plug in a standard drive. So either we won't get expandable drive space or the system will require an external SSD and maybe have a min spec or built in benchmark.

 

[7roject28]

The offset bluray drive tickles my OCD especially with it being a symmetrical design in that V shape.

 

[bitbydeath]

300W is waaay too much. I believe ~200W is viable. 200~230W.

So the vents are there for the look as opposed to being required for cooling?

 

[Meesh]

V is for victory.

I dub thee, Playstation Victoryyyy! "Sailor moon pose".

Or Victoria... we'll see how close we get

V is for Vita

uh ohhhhhhh

 

[CrustyBritches]

300W is waaay too much. I believe ~200W is viable. 200~230W.

I'm guessing around 180W. This dev kit is designed like this for stacking, and way too big and ugly for a final design.

 

[Insane Metal]

I'm guessing around 180W. This dev kit is designed like this for stacking, and way too big and ugly for a final design.

Yeah the PS3 peaked at around 190W, but I think the PS5 might go a bit deeper than that. Not 300W deeper though.

 

[Meesh]

V is for Vita

uh ohhhhhhh

Vicky told me you were gonna try to get between us...

 

[Katsura]

Does it ship with a 3rd person cinematic open world action game construction kit?

 

[@gkTH]

Basically, day 1.

Standard external drives to backup games, nothing more.

 

[CrisPy2019]

So it's basically half an OG Xbox devkit. V+V upside down = X.

Interesting.

They can support USB HDDs for cold storage (next-gen games) and playing some games directly from there (older games via BC).

A USB 3.x SSD will always be slower than an internal NVMe SSD, so I think it's pointless from a dev baseline perspective.

It's about time consoles hit 300W...….We want a powerful console that will last us a good 7 years.......

 

[Elcid]

It could look like a tickle me elmo for all I care as long as it does its job, I will buy it day 1.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

It's about time consoles hit 300W...….We want a powerful console that will last us a good 7 years.......

The PS4 will be 7 years old next year....

 

[thelastword]

The PS4 will be 7 years old next year....

Yes and it's still impressing folk with visuals even today...….Visuals have gotten better and better...….I'm just happy we are now in a position to get an A class CPU with an A class GPU at the same time......If we need to burn a few more watts for it, so be it....7 years is a long-term investment, those pining on wattage make little sense anymore, this is not a handheld.....

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet the devkit is the basic gist of the Ps5. It will be a flatter more compact box but it will have those "gills" on the sides. I like the gills.
