This is more leak than rumour, I only applied the tag because it hasn’t come straight from Sonys mouth.

Also big information like this deserves its own thread.

I don't think that is official. No hiring manager or HR department is going to know when playstation 5 will ship before Sony announces it officially.

Also if Sony was going to release a console this year, it would need to be before thanksgiving as its the biggest shopping day of the year. So A release in october makes sense and would be a good educated guess if that is what it is.

I would have thought you’d need to be part of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. to use their business as the advertiser. Unless you’re suggesting their account was hacked?

From other site credit of marsipan:

On the Easy Allies podcast, Daniel Bloodworth talked about the press release / press email that Codemasters had sent out. In the mail it said that Dirt 5 will have its Next gen release on PS5 in October. I believe it was this weeks podcast where this was stated.

They all thought it was a mistake or a PR miss, but joked about the fact that it COULD be the PS5 launch


U can add it to op if u want

It's not official, we don't know if its the truth so how do you know it's big? we've had "big leaks" before. New topics should be for official stuff regarding this specific discussion. We had enough of these over the last months.

and why the hell would you put this in a job listing :pie_roffles:

Hmm, how so? What's wrong with an October release?

why don't release TLOU2 as a launch game then? Like nintendo did with botw.
They are launching it sooner on ps4. This makes no sense. Too early to let people double dip like red dead redemption 2.

Well it would be a launch game for the platform?
It's not only about getting new customers on ps5, you also want to keep the ps4 folks happy so they don't make the "wrong" decision once they are willing to invest into a new platform. Especially when you're already limited in production for ps5.

Don't know, doesn't seem desperate or chaotic to me at all.

Ps5 will be sold out regardless and ps4 is pure profit for sony and ps5 is pure loss . Why would they not promote the pure making profit machine first and make some profit ?
People with a ps4 that want it will wait anyway. I honestly think this was Sony's plan originally. But due to the "LEAKS" it fucked that plan and forced them to release. I can't imagine any other reason for them to do this with TLOU2 anyway.

OCTOBER!?

Are you fucking kidding me? Pump the brakes on this shit, can't you see Sony is screaming in panic mode right now, about to hit their head in concrete full frontal!

Light up the fucking Kotaku-signal and tell them to don their capes and write a hitpiece on how Sony is a bunch of wankers who overworks their staff just to meet this deadline from hell.

I mean, what kind of world do we live in when we get two AAA-titles and a brand new next gen console in the span of a couple of months? Sony is probably dead from the inside out, whipped to little pieces of brimstones by Satan himself. Is there no justice anymore?
