Pretty annoying when we've still haven't got the PS5 2nd wave games, especially from a first party. The fact that we're going to have the Pro before the first true next-gen project from Naughty Dog makes me want to stop buying Playstations.

Don't worry. In the foreseeable future AI will let developers speed up game development.
Now we are within the transition period, where the old tools do not work well, whereas the new tools are not ready yet.

I wonder how they are going to show off difference between graphics on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The visible difference should convince the audience, aside from good specs.

Graphics really aren't that big of a deal for most people, won't make a difference if the games aren't there

What? Aren't people constantly complaining on blurry image and unstable frame rate?

100% sure they will run some 720p/1080p visuals on some game and than show the 4K version. Smoke and Mirrors. I don't care about graphics upgrades as much as I really like 1440p image quality but Id like the 60-120fps on every title

30FPS is such a deal breaker for anything but point and click.

The PlayStation Showcase is dead. The industry has evolved past showing 30 games in a 90 minute setting because 28 of those games never move the needle.

It’s far more effective to showcase your needle movers in 10 to 20 minute chunks to build hype. This is the way we’re headed.

My predictions:
-GT7 demo with RT on track
-Returnal with the PC version improvements
-Helldivers2 at 120fps
-Black myth Wukong with PC particle effects
-Somehow something with Horizon FW like hero lightings on npcs
-Until Dawn or Silent Hill remakes 60fps modes

Due to pssr and the need to not alienate base PS5 owners they will not be redundant with 4k talk.

I think we can’t be 100% certain on that until a really big PlayStation game is announced in a state of play. Like an Uncharted, God of War, new IP from a main studio, etc.

Will be funny they showing Concord after this mess.

Complete miss reading of Deadpool.
You can say he is pansexual but a lot of stuff he does is to make things awkward and uncomfortably funny.
Being pansexual is part of Deadpools character.
But I don't think it's ever went past the awkward comments or flamboyance.
Which is good because there's very little they could actually do but make it serious.
Which is not what the character is about.

Or their GaaS initiative fucked them up.

No way Jean Grey will be more manly than Wolverine. Literally NO WAY!

Jean Grey announces when they're having the State of Play...

 

[saintjules]

Some seem to think its a SOP for the Pro

I don't think they need to make a big deal out of the PS5 Pro, a 2-5min segment in the SoP, with an additional blog post should suffice imo.

Agree. Most of it has already leaked anyway. Just show us what it looks like, how much it costs and when it will be available. No need to spend a shitload of time going over the tech. Announce some damn games.

Ignore this post thought it had new info it does not

People do complain and many games are guilty of it but masses aren't going to buy a Pro for it, just enthusiasts. Look at the Switch, if people cared THAT much for framrates and visuals the Switch would reflect it. It's the total opposite.

Hopefully Lies of P DLC shows up in this

I saw some were saying the 19th or 20th but I too have heard its the week of TGS

Anyone with half a functioning brain: "If we reveal our insanely expensive console we should probably show some games to get people excited"
Sony for some reason: "Let's dump all the bad news [and there's al lot] up front and let it fester for two weeks and then show some actual games"

There is no bad news though. People are excited about PS5 Pro and lots of them are planning to buy them.

The PS5 Disk accessory is literally outselling all Xbox consoles right now, and local game shops have suddenly halved the PS5 trade-in rates. That's because of the huge demand for the PS5 Pro and the folks preparing to buy it upon launch.

And Sony is dominating the news cycle this month with this strategy.

1st half of September = PS5 Pro news
2nd half of September = Games showcase news

Ain't no one gonna care when we gettin this in 4K/60!

Somewhere within that week seems to be where it is.

Between the 19th-24th.

We're not getting it in 4K/60 on consoles.

Good luck with getting GTA VI in 4K at 60FPS.

You're not getting it on PC either.

Cyberpunk 2077 on PC with an RTX4090 drops below 60FPS in native 4K (on High settings, with no ray tracing or DLSS).

but DLSS is a thing, and plus the RTX 5090 will be out by then too
Heck, by the time the PC version is out, the RTX 6090 might even be out

Yeah I know DLSS is a thing and that's the reason for my post. Native 4K/60fps with all the bells and whistles turned on is not happening without DLSS. Same with PS5 Pro and PSSR. Games need upscaling to run at the highest settings and frames possible.

You could maybe get away with native 1440p and all the trimmings and no DLSS but then games are also becoming more increasingly demanding on current cards.
