Surely, they have some awsome shit to show alongside the pro.

Maybe the plan is to let the Pro breathe for a few days just showcasing how great it improves existing content, to give it a clean media cycle. Then when they do the SoP they come our with a band showing new games looking awesome on the Pro

 

[Bond007]

I really want some Ghost of Tsushima and a Pro.
That's all i need right now.

Doubt i get a MGS1 remake just yet.

 

[Rudius]

I still can not wrap my head around why a PS5 Pro is even necessary, when most games being made don't even take advantage of the current hardware. Sure, as a PC owner, more powerful hardware can be nice, but nothing I've played on PS5 has made me said "man, I wish this system was more powerful".

It's not "necessary", since the PS5 can run every game at least at 30fps, but for many games it could provide a substantial improvement. Take Wukong, a great success, but only runs at 1080p 45 fps on PS5; If unlocked could probably reach 48-50, but not 60. On PS5 Pro it would mostly lock to 60fps without the need of frame gen, and with a patch they could reconstruct the 1080p image up to 4K with PSSR, so it would both run smoother and look much better.

 

[KevinK15]

Also coming with the Pro will probably be the new V2 DualSense that was accidentally leaked on Best Buy Canada's website awhile back

advertising 12hrs of battery life now.

 

[Wastelander92]

Could see the new SSM IP and Venom spin-off revealed if true.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

That is enough to take a game running at 45 fps (Wukong, Elden Ring) and bump it up to 60fps+, depending on the locks in place.

I clearly remember playing Elden Ring at 60FPS the moment it launched on XSX.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Some say it's GPU is around 45% stronger in brute force terms, a conservative estimate, and much more in ray tracing, perhaps 2X.

I wouldn't say "some say" as that 45% came from Sony's internal leaked document and very likely best case scenario

90 CAD or just buy an original charging dock for 20 CAD on sale on Amazon...

In Cerny, I trust!

 

[Rudius]

It varies a lot. VRR can clean it up to a certain point.

 

[Matt_Fox]

I just hope there aren't stock shortages again. I remember hovering over the keyboard at 8am or whenever it was PS5 sales went live, pressing refresh. I got mine, but it was sold out in moments.

 

[SJRB]

Ghost of Tsushima 2 shown on PlayStation 5 Pro.

It is time. I can feel it in my bones.

 

[SportsFan581]

Up to a certain point.

For FF16 it should lock to 60 most of the time, when it runs above 40 on PS5. When it goes down into the high 30s the Pro should at least bring it up to VRR range, above 48 fps.

Some say it's GPU is around 45% stronger in brute force terms, a conservative estimate, and much more in ray tracing, perhaps 2X.

- That is enough to take a game running at 45 fps (Wukong, Elden Ring) and bump it up to 60fps+, depending on the locks in place.

- Games running at unlocked 80~90 fps (God of War Ragnarok) should go up to 120.

- A dynamic resolution game running around 1080p on PS5 should be closer to 1440p on the Pro.

- A game that is close to 4K on PS5 (Astrobot) should reach mostly native 4K on the Pro.

- Games that use ray tracing combined with dinamic resolution and/or unlocked fps (Insomniac games) could see a much greater improvement.

That would be the biggest get since a lot of games are really struggling in this area, especially the 60fps modes.

 

[Markio128]

I’m pretty interested in the PS5 Pro, but I could probably live without it in the short term. I’m more interested in 1st-party games currently and I can’t wait for some reveals!

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Ghost of Tsushima 2 shown on PlayStation 5 Pro.

That’s one I am hoping we see as well

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

That Pro will be the next Sony flop.

Well the Pro is the correct type of flop that we want to have, like 33.5 TFlops worth...

 

[Ristifer]

I'm assuming they'll have some heavy hitters to show for this thing.

 

[Sethbacca]

I still can not wrap my head around why a PS5 Pro is even necessary, when most games being made don't even take advantage of the current hardware. Sure, as a PC owner, more powerful hardware can be nice, but nothing I've played on PS5 has made me said "man, I wish this system was more powerful".

I can’t get why this is even a question when so many games, some released in the last week, are having to upscale from sub HD resolutions and still only achieving 30fps. Additional power is always welcome by a segment of the community, just don’t buy it if you’re fine with what you’ve got.

[Mibu no ookami]

30th anniversary PS5Pro?

There will most likely be 30th anniversary plates. From everything we've heard the Pro uses the same plates as the Slim. So yes, 30th anniversary PS5 Pro.

 

[Euler007]

nothing I've played on PS5 has made me said "man, I wish this system was more powerful

Funny, the first time for me was Returnal. It was awesome but I could tell it would be even more awesome at 120fps and a higher internal resolution (1080p internal 60fps with 50fps dips right now). Ratchet's 40fps quality at 60+fps, same thing. FF16 doubly so. Basically any game that has a quality mode, give me that at 60+fps with VRR. Few games couldn't benefit, Demon's Souls comes to mind, already perfect.

 

[Rudius]

That would be the biggest get since a lot of games are really struggling in this area, especially the 60fps modes.

That's just the automatic bumps we can expect, enough for games needing just a bit extra. For the worst ofeenders, like Star Wars and Final Fantasy 16 performance mode a Pro patch would do wonders: keep the same internal resolution (giving better performance on Pro) and use PSSR to recostruct to 4X the resolution.

Demon's Souls: quality mode at 40 fps + option to unlock with VRR = win.

 

[SHA]

Concord remake alongside with PS5 Pro reveal.

I hate hurtful jokes, who likes them?

 

[Burger King]

Cerny save us

 

[Sw0pDiller]

will they talk price though? My guess is 649 diskless. will buy two.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Are we really creating a topic with two print screens where the guy already says he doesn't know certain stuff on the first print and then writes a second one to correct parts of the first print?

That said...guessing the pro to be announced on the same month TGS happens is basically a given. Sony already said they would be there.

 

[Bitstream]

damn, and to think I just voted 'no' on a poll asking if the pro is stilll coming out.

 

[Gaiff]

Someone didn’t play Black Myth: Wukong on PS5.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Ps5 pro will have gorilla glass covers

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Represent.]

They better bring out the big guns. No multiplayer trash with kiddy generic art styles. Only SSM or ND will suffice

 

[MikeM]

I want to see PSSR in action. Would be amazing if you could enable it at the system level for all games to get upscaled.

 

[ithilion]

finally. Can't wait to see the new ips from playstation running on it. The ps5 latter life cicle has huge potential.

 

[ViciousAgenda]

Presentation Begins...

"We brought the OG's back together"

Zipper Interactive Logo appears...

*Middle Eastern sounding music blended with heavy riffs blares*

Voiceover "You have been downtrodden, you have been abandoned..."

MAG REMASTER, 120 fps, 8k native.

Crowd goes insane, smashes the place up...Hulst gets hung drawn and quartered.

PS5 Pro sells 20 Concordillian units.

 

[simpatico]

Any guesses on the game? Many are hoping for a Spider-Man 2 Pro remaster, but you never know, we could get lucky and land Uncharted 4 Pro remaster.

The game for the world premiere?

Its not a remaster its a new game

Playstation is dead to me.

They really better have. They need to hit back hard after Concord.

Naughty Dog's game isn't it. Gotta show what they can do.

 

[LordCBH]

Give me Ghost of Tushy 2 with PRO enhancements!

 

[Kacho]

Can’t wait to see the price

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

will they talk price though? My guess is 649 diskless. will buy two.

550 dickless, 599 with disc.

 

[tmlDan]

they did, today, a GOTY contender.

 

[Bitstream]

550 dickless, 599 with disc.

Digital only ps5 is only a hundred dollars less? No way.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

will they talk price though? My guess is 649 diskless. will buy two.

My guess is 599 without disc, honestly

 

[veterangamerUK]

Whe are talking about Playstation here not Xbox

Aah, another "everything Sony does is awesome" contributor

 

[finalflame]

Yup. Media cycle around one particular brand / announcement has to be concise, and by doing it this way they allow enough time to focus on the consoles itself and improvement announcements without the risk of it being overshadowed or competing with the new game announcements. As an added bonus they keep being the top news in gaming for much longer.

 

[saintjules]

will they talk price though? My guess is 649 diskless. will buy two.

If it's via a blog post as many suggest, I'd assume they will. Like they do for accessories and stuff. Maybe gone are the days there's these big reveals of prices for Consoles.

I personally like the way PS5's price was revealed.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Should be quite the exciting next few weeks. Would love to see a new Infamous, Bloodborne sequel or remaster and a new proper Uncharted with Drake and Sully. Either way, I am sure Sony will deliver and we will finally see some of the bigger AAA games they have been working on. The timing with the Pro could mean they are launch titles as well.
