The funny thing is that despite this endless parade of "leaks" and speculation, Sony haven't said shit.

This is purely the internet rumor-mill in overdrive.

We wouldn't have to put up with more TIDUX™ leaks if Sony would say something already.

Like damn at least an announcement for the announcement. Getting blue balls here.
 
This is so much bs its amazing lol we can all make lists.

Xbox x borrows heavily from ps4 pro internal design

Microsoft starts claiming it now gives developers freedom on game development lol wonder why (always been Sony's message and style)

Microsoft makes Gears more open like Uncharted and God of War even the Dev stating thy got inspiration from such

Microsoft adds a half baked trash shareplay via mixer

Sony releases wire article and shortly after Microsoft makes announcement with almost same features Sony mentions in article lol it was a verbal wire article 😂

Cross play was done way before on Sony lol for years.

Microsoft removes kinect from Xbox one after lying about not being able to bcus of os due to Sony's spanking.

Microsoft acquiring studios to try to keep up with Sony killer line ups and studios.

Microsoft now touts game streaming coming when of course Sony has innovated and been had game streaming via Psnow.

Yes drivers seat. Sony has been in the drivers seat since halfway into last Gen. Killing in sales, software and Microsoft trying to mimic its messaging and moves to get some type of foothold. Their gaming division makes nowhere near as much money as Sony's, hardware sales are like one to three lol yes drivers seat. But it's good thy get inspiration from one of the pioneers in this.

Wow some ppl are delusional on here no disrespect bro. They need stellar games first then thy can try to climb out the ditch. A restrictive repetitive Hellblade won't do it (at least one was) and tht other generic beaten up game thy showed before either (cant even remember the name). Even at Sony's worst thy seem to be better than what Microsoft offers. Cant Wait for recore 2 🤦‍♂️

It’s going To be another disappointment by Sony. Can’t wait. :D



drivers seat? Huh? When? They are following MS, just think about it:

- MS releases games in Xbox AND pc. Sony is doing the same now going forward
- MS allowed EA access, now a couple of years later, Sony does too
- MS allowed crossplay and buy, Sony didn’t in the beginning, now they allow it for selected games
- MS introduced BC, now Sony will do it too


Just to name few. there are many more. Sony is lagging behind and are just doing what MS did in the past.
Sony will bomb so hard nextgen. :D
That is quite some revisionist shit you got going right there, pal.

It really is interesting. Sony is "putting every single game on PC" despite having never even stated they are putting a single one there yet. Things have gotten insane.

It'll be interesting to see what the box looks like. I'm not expecting anything radical in regard to the DualShock 5's design.

-Sony already released PC games in the past, now did allow 3rd party studios like ThatGameCompany, Kojima or Quantic Dream to release their games elsewhere and seems that the licensed IP will go multi because they may not. Other than that "rumors" of Horizon, Dreams and TLOU2 going to PC aren't credible unless they are talking about playing them in PS Now.
-Sony already did BC on PS2, PS3, PSP and Vita. PS4 didn't have it because PS3 had alien software too different and difficult to emulate. So Sony did it before.
-Sony also did before many things that MS is copied like Remote Play, Cross Play, Cross Save or Cross Buy, game streaming subscription -or even previous cases like camera controlled games- and even things that MS still didn't support like VR. It's normal that they copy cool things from the competition when makes sense.
 
Sony Hall is way too small for the PS5 Reveal. Last time it was held in the Hammerstein Ballroom, which holds over four times the capacity of Sony Hall. Most likely will he held there again you would think.
 
can we stop with these stupid reveal rumors good god. Here is all the rumors for this reveal dating back to last year.
Ps5 wire article comes out people saying that in the next week there going to announce a PSX in DEC 2019 conference: Didn't happen.
Peopl said Ps5 was going to be a TGA: Didn't happen
People said that the ps5 reveal was going to be tied into the FF7R demo that was suppose to out on the 31st of DEC 2019: Didnt happen.
People said we were going to get a showing of the ps5 in the 1st 2 weeks of january Didn't happen.
People said that the ps5 was going to be shown at CES or annouce the upcoming conference for it: didn't happen.
People said Ps5 was going to be shown at e3 jokes on you sony said we passing. These rumors need to stop almost every prediction has been wrong were on the tail end of january and there is still 0 information about anything happening anytime soon people need to sit down and just look at the facts sony probably is going to wait till the last second to show off this console because its probably 1 weaker then the xbox SX and 2 it probably is going to have alot of mutiplats or remasters as launch titles. You guys will be able to play fortnite and Destiny 2 in 4k soon just chill with these crazy speculations.

If it's for Feb 12th you'd definitely think we'd get an announcement in the early part of this week coming up. After Wednesday with no news then I'd say late Feb.

After that though I don't think anyone would have much clue.

This Friday the 31th of January will be the judgment day. If there is no invitation or any other official word... something really bad has happend behind closed doors at SIE...

Responses to your points

If we want to play this game
  • Sony released a console, sell over 100 million of them - MS sees the potential and decide they want to do the same the very next generation
  • Sony released the PS4 without brain dead DRM policy - MS is forced to scramble to modify their DRM system that they apparently could not modify
  • Sony release a controller with dual analog stick - MS does the same years later
  • Sony release the PS Eye - MS release the Kinect a couple of years later
  • Sony has a streaming service - MS creates their own a couple of years later
  • Sony offers a console with a single bank of high speed memory - lo and behold MS upgrade their console in the very same generation with the same architecture! (instead of using a slow bank with a highspeed/low latency buffer

I hate list wars because they are meaningless and give little to no relevant information in the grand scheme of things, I really don't care about any of the points I brought up - they are about as intelligent as 99.99% of top 10 videos on youtube.

Lol umm the ps2 says hello
The PS3 also.

Cross play was done way before on Sony lol for years.
I wonder if they did not answer because they never had any messaging around it and never really cared that much... but it does look like they allowed it only until MS allowed it as well, then they changed their tune again when the storm was over (instead of having some knee jerk reaction).

:messenger_grinning:

:messenger_grinning:
totally. MS gonna feel like Dresden 1945 X Cambodia 1970


Americans bombing Asians, this is not a good look.

Sony allowed crossplay before, they stopped for a while...

I'm not even sure of that. PS2 started cross play, PS3 had lots of cross play titles and PS4 didn't stop that but continue that, titles like DC Universe, War Thunder, FFXIV etc all have cross play. So not only did Sony do this first out of the 3, they have done it longer as I don't believe any time in the companies history after they started, they actually stopped. So I don't get this notion that they "stopped" because to my understanding, you never at any point were stopped from playing with PC players on PS4 from lets say SFV or FFXIV or something.

It will be interesting if the ps5 is 8 teraflops as that quite a lot less than the xbox series ☓. I'd like to know more of what the xbox can do with the extra power than what the ps5 will be able to do = 4k@60&30fps as standard just like ps4 was 1080p@60&30fps for the absolute majority

This feels like obvious trolling. I remember how Twitter and YouTubers blew up when Digital Foundry said they think the PS5 will have 9.2 TFlops. Imagine the knee jerk reactions across social media and YouTube if people took this “leak”/“rumor”/whatever you want to call it seriously.

lol.. up until a few days ago I was reading all types of “leaks/rumors” because I just wanted more info on the PS5. Now I’m tired of all the “leaks/rumors” and just want preorders to go up so I can reserve a day one console.

Sony’s continual silence on the reveal date is slowly sucking all the hype out of me.
