Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

• He says it will probably launch in September 2024
• Doesn't know the exact specs, but Sony is (or was) choosing between multiple configurations
• (Not sure if he is citing the leak here or backing up the original leak claim with his own confirmed information) He says it would support DLSS-like machine learning upscaling: “The big thing here, like the big feature that this system would support, is Sony’s own proprietary DLSS-like solution, where they use their own machine learning to improve images so they can run things at a really high resolution and really high frame rate, and they would include their own hardware in the PS5 Pro to do this."
• Speculates $600

[tommib]

Too cheap. I’m ready for the trade-in, Jim. Oh wait, who will my money go to after he leaves?

 

[Interfectum]

I'm in. Give me that sweet Cerny sauce.

 

[kyussman]

Why the fuck would anyone invest in that given how pitiful next gen has been so far.......I know a lot of you will,have fun,lol.

 

[Gaiff]

Yeah, expecting $500-600. It won't be $700-800 like so many are speculating.

 

[StereoVsn]

if they drop PS5 back to $400, $600 Pro makes sense.

 

[Salz01]

They better have some Stellar looking games to show in May. This gen still feels like Ps 4 pro pro…

 

[SlimySnake]

Day 1. Great to see them target $600 instead of $499. The dumb $399 target for the PS5 held them back. They should be able to do a whole lot more with that extra $100 in terms of specs.

 

[Topher]

I shall buy it

 

[crazyjah2003]

Hope they make things that make me wanna buy... Happily skipped PS4 pro back then...
Now I have more disposable income... I would pay for 60fps alongside Graphics that are for Quality modes...

 

[skit_data]

I somehow get the feeling everything he has to go on is stuff already discussed in the threads here and elsewhere. Seems like an odd timing to suddenly "have heard" things about both PS5 Pro and next Xbox at the same time pretty much everyone else does. No new info.

 

[Hudo]

Why stop at $600? It's clearly being held back by that price. Make it $1000.

 

[ProtoByte]

Give me a built-in disc drive with all that, and I'm in day zero.

They definitely need a blowout of really impressive 1st & 3rd party games though.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Then you are playing the wrong games.

 

[adamsapple]

As long as they have good trade-in programs.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Mmmhmmm ah yes my $600 GTA6 machine

Ill be there day zerro

 

[R6Rider]

Also, what is that fucking AWFUL render in that picture?

 

[Horseganador]

 

[mansoor1980]

AI based upscaling and 600 tag , must be pretty powerfull hardware in there...............
also sept 2024 sounds great

 

[Metnut]

Why the fuck would anyone invest in that given how pitiful next gen has been so far.......I know a lot of you will,have fun,lol.

This has been one of the best years for gaming with great games continuously coming out. The first half of next year is loaded too. If you don’t like games, then why game as a hobby?

I’m in day 1. After trading in my base PS5, the upgrade is only a few hundo. Much better investment than thousands on a PC.

 

[emivita]

September 2024? I don't believe it.

But I want it.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Gamestop is currently giving $330 USD trade in for PS5. I'm gonna take them up on it.
I've got so many other games on other systems, I will catch up when I can get my hands on their Pro model.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[Sw0pDiller]

i dont know, my PS5 still feels kinda great. mostly 1440p @ 60fps games, great loading times. FF16 could use a powerboost though in 60fps mode

 

[Mowcno]

I imagine they will price-cut the standard PS4 then? $499/$599 for PS5/PS5 Pro seems pretty close on price, to the point I think you'd be mad to get the standard PS5. PS4/PS4 Pro was $100 difference too but there's a big difference between $299/$399 and $499/$599 (one is 33% more expensive, the other is only 20% more expensive)

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Why the fuck would anyone invest in that given how pitiful next gen has been so far.......I know a lot of you will,have fun,lol.

If it means more 4K/120 games. Fuck yeah I will invest in that.

 

[near]

Have the specs leaked yet?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Very likely but pure guesses on his part

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Sounds like he's spit balling on the price his dlss esque info sounds like it was sourced

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Day 1 for me.

Also, this makes no sense to me:

• Doesn't know the exact specs, but Sony is (or was) choosing between multiple configurations

Aren't devs getting the devkits as we speak? That means specs have been finalized right?

 

[onQ123]

He doesn't know the price the devs don't need to know the price so that's not going to leak until closer to release unless internal documents leak

 

[FoxMcChief]

I don’t play my PS5 enough to warrant an upgrade.

 

[Tsaki]

Oh yeah classic Grubb; throw the word 'speculate' in there, throw some nebulous "choosing between multiple configurations" and get the pulse of the forum chatter. If it's right: "Sources told me". If it's not: "I was just guessing".
The thing is he knows people will talk about what he says and he chooses to leave it vague on what it is he actually heard from people in the know and what others reported.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I don’t play my PS5 enough to warrant an upgrade.

 

[Gaiff]

If it means more 4K/120 games. Fuck yeah I will invest in that.

You'll be disappointed if you think that's what you'll get.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Something internal that can produce similar results to DLSS would be a game changer.

 

[TGO]

£500 (and I'm adding here to compensate for the "Rip Off Britain" tax) don't seem realistic as the PS5 is already £479 here
I can see them screwing over the UK with a £550($700) price tag or more and keeping the US price at $600
But unless they do a proper conversion like they did with the PS3's price it's not gonna fly

$600 seem believable & reasonable from a US perspective but not for the rest of the world with how they do their prices
And that's if it's a big jump visually (not on paper) over the PS5.
And not like the PS4 Pro
if not I can see it being D.O.A
Wouldn't even hit 10m unit's in its life time

 

[mansoor1980]

Sony’s own proprietary DLSS-like solution

game changer for consoles , very exciting

 

[Heisenberg007]

Hell yeah!

 

[Zuzu]

$600 would be the sweet spot. That should be enough money to make something significantly better without it being prohibitively expensive for customers.

 

[Senua]

Yeah, expecting $500-600. It won't be $700-800 like so many are speculating.

Pipe dream

 

[balls of snow]

Make it as expensive as possible to deter the casuals so I have a shot of getting it at launch.

 

[Tommi84]

Give me that beautiful beast

 

[Jigsaah]

Finally.

They haven't done $600 since the PS3. Still buying it. If I can shell $1700 for a 4090...hell why not. Been waiting too long for this.

Those who say this gen has been poopy, I mean...You got a Spiderman, a Horizon, a God of War, a Gran Turismo, a Ratchet and Clank, a Demon Souls...like...what exactly are we looking for here?

 

[tommib]

Why stop at $600? It's clearly being held back by that price. Make it $1000.

If only…

 

[saintjules]

Hmm. $600 (+ tax) divided by 39 weeks = $15/week in savings Can afford.

There won't be Pro consoles.

I still don't think the PS5 Pro is real.

You guys still here?

 

[tommib]

Something internal that can produce similar results to DLSS would be a game changer.

Cerny upscaling magic for the rescue.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[tommib]

I don’t play my PS5 enough to warrant an upgrade.

 

[King Dazzar]

I'd buy it today if I could. Cant wait.
