Playstation 5 Design & Form factor

He cool i am cool we all cool.
Its all fun.

We are all very interested how ps5 games will look and play but given the lack of anything relevant we are bored as hell.

This whole flip and flop thing will be in the past once we start seeing games.

Given the strong first party support for both console we will see more exclusive games for each system then ever before which will result in less third party vs threads.

We wont be able to compare the hardware anymore, it will all come down to the games.
We all good, it's the other guy (animal) that bring that up, we are all having fun & cool minded.
 
Anything.

As long as it's silent.


You got it.

If I had to guess something more like this.

Yes!

This design kind of resembles the devkit, but looks sleeker. I would not mind some variation from the devkit with this kind of finish. I was wondering how will the wireless controllers recharge, on an included pad that connects to PS5 via an USB port, or a predefined area of the PS5.

Are you okay ? you look angry, take a deep breath, exhale.
Ok let's recap :



Everybody got the joke, expect you & (fanatics).
it was like what are you expecting ?


It was a bit aggressive compared to other comments i quoted isn't it ?
Saw a beef starting, i put a reminder to calm things down


Doesn't it look like a L shape ? This was on the road to PS5 keynote, looks like a PS3 Slim, i'm confused.


Another joke "what for", jet engine :messenger_grinning_squinting: .
ANIMAL1975 ANIMAL1975 You'll be okay, you just need time.
I've been accused of many things & i don't care, i do post stuff about Sony, Microsoft & Video games, and i'm still being called a fanboy because there is no news regarding Playstation 5, don't worry when there is some (news) you will see me posting them on Gaf.

Lol typical: the 'you're angry' card, and then "just breath iu gonna be OK"

But you _ you're cool just playing around, all fun and giggles... and you 'also post Sony news' rolleyes.gif

You just didn't like that CJY CJY talked 'supercharged SSD' on a PS5 thread about the form factor, that's not cool and funny.

Dude just drop the act, you think you're subtle? You're so subtle like a bull in a china store. Enough derailing the thread from me, too angry must bread now.

The dev kit is ugly. I like the first fan made picture, its SOLID! I don’t like the design of the XsX and I find it hideous but they do what they got to do

Now I hope the PS5 design isn’t as hideous but if its a most then they also do what they got to do
 
Word has it that Sony was shook when the XsX was surprise dropped, shook to the core because they also had an Alan Watts 2001 monolith in mind.
Now they are rushing away mixing and matching all the renditions posted in this thread in an effort to please everyone after the disappointing specs reveal!
 
That DevKit looks too extraordinary for a ''DevKit''. Yes, maybe they're pushing the design to keep it unknowable, but it didn't make me feel like this, nope. I expect a more minimalist shit similar to this design.

V shape is also looks damn cool.

I think you should re-read what has been said & what i said.

Given the performance it cant be bigger then a nintendo wii.

given the power of the SSD, PS5 gonna need extra large condoms.

Yep keep the breathing exercise.
I'm not here to please fanboys, i'm just reporting the news i'm reading, maybe you're too mad Sony didn't match your expectations ? it's ok, let the games do the talking, you gonna like it anyway, it's just a gaming box dude.

Some of those designs are pretty good for once.

Not worried about how it looks tbh but I hope the LED is blue.
 
Looking at the Xbox SX it doesn't seem like they have a lot of unused space and doesn't Sony more or less use the same components? Could they actually NOT turn it into something with a form factor as large as the Xbox's?

I still personally think that this thing is ugly as hell. I really hope the actual console doesn’t look anything like it.
 
I don't want to see a single one of these bastards in it....

Try telling that the hordes of people in this very thread that favours these flat, thin console designs that we're used to since PS4 slim.

No one taking into account the AMD APU inside this thing running at ridiculous clock speeds.

Its quite remarkable how we have not seen one single feasible design of a PS5 taking into account the components that would be housed inside the shell.

If ya'll want a Jet engined PS5 that will likely blow up after a week of use then go ahead and wish for all above flashy designs. About the only design that looks functional (with proper ventilation) for such a high powered machine is the dev kit.
 
Anything but a fucking tower.

That shit is gross.

Design is something that can play in advantage for Sony so I hope they make it right.
LOL NO.

Look at Series X. It's function over form. I expect PS5 to do the same. This time around we are not going to get traditional flat boxed consoles with tiny rear vents. My god imagine this AMD APU in a PS4 slim type shell. It wouldn't last a week.

Those dev kits are ugly as sin, but the finished console wont look like that. They're always bulkier than the final units, if at all similar.
I think the closest you'll get it's if you removed the raised vented sections either side. It'll be a flat and smooth object.
Or maybe it'll just be the V bit with the drive in the centre. V is five so maybe they'll emphasise it in some way, though it's a bit corny

As long as it's not loud. My PS4 is painful to use and while my ps3 phat lasted a long time before getting loud before it finally failed it was crazy loud too.
Sony's thermal designs leave a lot to be desired. I hope they put more effort into cooling the ps5

Remember the ps5 is a bit of a beast in its own right that APU and those SSD chips will need some serious cooling considering how fast they are running. I personally think that v design is going to remain, its whatever crazy cooling design they have engineered. This is the renders from the patent (by letsgodigital), considering we are talking about what 2.23Ghz? GPU and 3.5GHz CPU and the ssd is faster than anything available on the market, it will need some serious ventilation, I think the heisenberg design is a very sexy version of the patent render below, I dont even mind the render below it looks like a beast.

I'd like to see Sony buck the trend of designing pretentious out of proportion warped consoles. The PS2, 3 & 4 didn't stand out from the crowd or were as Sony probably intended, revolutionary designs, they just looked shit. 25 years on the original Playstation is still the nicest looking console they've made.

How was the og PS4 proportion warped? I can kinda see the PS3 argument (grill memes) but I still think both consoles were beautiful. The fat PS2 and the slim variant are probably the nicest looking consoles in existence. Symmetrical consoles like the second 360 slim and the Gamecube are ugly as fuck.

I'm pretty sure this will be very close to final design. It needs a hefty cooling solution and this seems to be awesome for just that. Cooling from the back of a device or (just) the top or bottom is risky, because of possible blockage of the vents. Cooling from the "middle" and the sides (and maybe bottom) seems such a good idea. Maybe with some sort of push-pull, to really flush the system with air.

I hated the sloped front of the ps4, it looked like something that was stretched and skewed in photoshop, same goes for the ps2, with the top of the console being wider than the base, just looked weird to me.

Maybe SCE should have a word with Sony's other design departments. Most of their output such as tv's ,blu ray players, audio equipment tends to look pretty sleek.

Are those V or n?
Shouldn't five be pointing the other way? Damn even Sony prototypes are under delivering.

There is only one under-delivering with their games :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Back on topic

I also like Heisenbergs, looks sleek and while not too far off with dev unit

Just make it look like a PS4 slim with the PS5 logo slapped on it. Don't need to be looking like some soundbar with a jet engine fan in it.
