Sony is aiming to make the PlayStation 5 reveal event focused on games that actually run on the console, according to a new report.

On the ResetEra forums, Jeff Grubbs revealed that the Japanese company is going to limit the use of the "disclaimer: this game is running in a PC environment but will be optimized for PS5.". This is definitely a good approach, as footage from such events is often misleading, showing PC builds that may not be truly representative of how the game will run on the console.

As for when this PlayStation 5 reveal event will be held, there is still no official confirmation. June 4th was singled out as the date for the event, but a more recent report suggests that Sony is moving the date around, but it will still be held in early June. The real, first look at the console itself is apparently coming before August.

The only part of the PlayStation 5 hardware we have seen so far is the DualSense controller, which will make the gaming experience feel more sensory and make gameplay sharing a little more active.

Title says: PlayStation 5 Reveal Event Will Feature Limited Number Of Third-Party Games Not Actually Running On The Console

 

[TheBoss1]

Time for more people to cry about no hardware reveal.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

More high-grade, hard-hitting journalism from games media. Gold star stickers all around. /s

 

[The Hamburglar]

Not sure the title fits the op

 

[LostDonkey]

But I thought PS5 was better than a PC? Why do they need to show it on a PC?

 

[Drunkensamurai]

Can we stop giving attention to this Jeff Grubb guy? Please! Thanks!

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Watchdogs-esque levels of graphical downgrades incoming...

 

[Aion002]

But I thought PS5 was better than a PC? Why do they need to show it on a PC?

Better is not the same as more powerful... If someone think that any console at any given time is more powerful than a expensive pc, that person doesn't understand about hardware...


Also... Some claimed that the ps5 has a better ssd than those found right now on pc.... Not that the ps5 is overall better or worse...

 

[mortal]

Who the hell is Jeff Grubb even? Why do I know his name with zero information about his credibility?

Also your thread has the wrong title I think.

 

[TLZ]

Title and OP confusing me :/

 

[NeoLed]

....basic....expectation

 

[FStubbs]

But I thought PS5 was better than a PC? Why do they need to show it on a PC?

Yeah, the SSD was supposed to make it more powerful than any other hardware, allowing games not possible on PC, right?

 

[mortal]

But I thought PS5 was better than a PC? Why do they need to show it on a PC?

lol that painfully obvious rhetorical question.

I always wonder how these threads tend to get derailed by system warz fanboy nonsense.

 

[thelastword]

Not sure the title fits the op

Title and OP confusing me :/

Took the title directly from the site, didn't want to change it because "I don't want anyone to accuse me of changing a source's words".


I too thought the title read somewhat odd, but if you read correctly. It says very few titles (a limited number) will not actually run on the console. In essence the majority of the games shown would be running on the console...….There are more precise ways to say the same thing, but these are the words they chose to use...

 

[mejin]

This could work really well for Sony.

 

[Bryank75]

A complete dick, guy is one of those super-rude antifa types.

 

[onQ123]

Watchdogs-esque levels of graphical downgrades incoming...

That's actually the opposite of what's being said here.

 

[Endless Fluff]

So, we gonna see trailers of PC games without the disclaimer. Gotcha.

 

[Vawn]

Didn't most of those third-party developers decide to do their own shows and are no longer showing at PS5?

 

[mortal]

A complete dick, guy is one of those super-rude antifa types.

Well that's a shame. Still, what gives him the credibility?

Does he work in the industry, or is he just one of those types that knows a guy who knows a guy?

 

[Bryank75]

Watchdogs-esque levels of graphical downgrades incoming...

Nah, Ubisoft were at the Xbox event. Didn't you hear about everyone's disappointment?

 

[TwistedSyn]

Yeah...I am not giving that website a click. After watching this video from Gigaboots over a month ago, I know they have a bias.

 

[Bryank75]

Well that's a shame. Still, what gives him the credibility?

He works for Venturebeat...

 

[thelastword]

I suspect we might be seeing a few "world premieres, actual gameplay" from some third parties.....

 

[Bryank75]

Yeah...I am not giving that website a click. After watching this video from Gigaboots over a month ago, I know they have a bias.

Wow, WCCF are such hacks.... so unprofessional.

 

[iHaunter]

Your first sentence should've been title OP.

 

[phil_t98]

so what will they be running on?

 

[Ar¢tos]

 

[Bryank75]

All they're saying is that it will state if the game is not running on PS5... unlike past E3's where any of the big 3 didn't bother to say whether it was or was not...

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I'm happy to get gameplay of any sort. Based on the reception to recent events, it could be a nice marketing move to point out "Running on PS5" for clips that are actually on a PS5

Early June almost here. can't wait for the event.

 

[GymWolf]

Reading that title then seeing that it was a thelastword topic was the funniest surprise of the day

Very good choice of words for a ps5 positive topic my dude.

 

[Riven326]

so what will they be running on?

 

[Entroyp]

Thread title and OP confused me s bit.. so Sony wants to show games actually running on PS5, good news then.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

That's actually the opposite of what's being said here.

Really? I thought we were seeing games on high end pcs? When the console versions came out... bam.

 

[FranXico]

Yeah...I am not giving that website a click. After watching this video from Gigaboots over a month ago, I know they have a bias.

He did a similar video earlier, mostly about the BC confusion.


Love that last quip "and then wish for death when I read the comments section".

 

[Entroyp]

That will be far better than showing games running on ultra powerful PCs.. who’s going to notice any difference between both consoles anyway.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[EverydayBeast]

SONY will need third party contributions in order to win next generation.

 

[mckmas8808]

Not sure the title fits the op

Not at all lol!

 

[DeepEnigma]

SONY will need third party contributions in order to win next generation.

Hottest of takes.

 

[M1chl]

More high-grade, hard-hitting journalism from games media. Gold star stickers all around. /s

You cannot go much below this gen, when it comes to "journalism" and "insiders". Last gen was godlike in comparison.

 

[Entroyp]

Love that last quip "and then wish for death when I read the comments section".

Oh shit they compared the XsX compressed speed vs PS5’s raw speed and left it at that

 

[MasterCornholio]

so what will they be running on?

PC or PS5 developer kits most likely.

 

[phil_t98]

PC or PS5 developer kits most likely.

They have shown anthem on Xbox befor

 

[kruis]

That will be far better than showing games running on ultra powerful PCs.. who’s going to notice any difference between both consoles anyway.

We're certainly not going to notice the difference on a Youtube stream that's been compressed to hell.

 

[MasterCornholio]

They have shown anthem on Xbox befor

And Xbox used footage from the PS4 version with some multiplats. Doesn't mean it's the norm though.

Which is why I said most likely.

 

[FranXico]

Oh shit they compared the XsX compressed speed vs PS5’s raw speed and left it at that

I've seen that exact same convenient mistake made here as well.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I've seen that exact same convenient mistake made here as well.

That's not a mistake since both values are pretty obvious. All they have to do is look at the spec sheets to get them.

 

[Aguero9320]

Going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say it’s a badly written headline, rather than pure click bait. Unfortunately it’s just adds fuel to the console warriors fire and we end up with more nonsense from both sides.
