Nice, right on schedule.

Tbh my hype consists of
40% "Yaay, new hardware"
60% "New Cerny ASMR incoming!"

 

[DForce]

$600 = W
$700 = L

I'm going to make a prediction that someone is going to leak the price today.

 

[Moriarty1889]

When this man speaks it is wise to listen……..that look of pure evil genius on his face. Cant wait for tomorrow!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Imagine he brings pssr to base ps5.
Will say this is your ps5 pro upgrade lol


I cant imagine what will you present in 9 minutes sorry. There is no precedent of this

1. 9 minute Youtube videos are too long
2. A spec sheet and a release date can be read in 20 seconds
3. An infographic channel can explain the history of man in 9 minutes. In 9 minutes, eternity can be explained.

The 9 minutes isn't troublesome at all. What is said within those 9 minutes is all that matters.

 

[bundylove]

9 minutes? Damn! He lasts longer than my wife's boyfriend in bed.

Lwt me guess. You'r the wife

 

[ChiefDada]

is it nececerny?

Of course it's nece.... ooooohhhhhhh

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I'm hoping there is something about backwards compatibility and that a number of games are getting a Pro patch. GT7 with more ray tracing, Final Fantasy 16 in 60fps and Rise of the Ronin... de-shitted would be most welcome.

This is concerning to me. At this point with the PS4 pro, we already had reports of Sony mandating games publish with support for Pro functions months prior to the release of the PS4 Pro. This time, we have heard nothing.

Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny

 

[El Muerto]

Okay i do not have PS5 but aren't backward compatibility with PS4 a thing there?

PS5 is 100% backwards compatible with PS4. But Sony showed that image at e3, leaving further backwards compatibility to the imagination like if they were planning on adding ps1-ps3 backwards compatibility later.

 

[solidus12]

Hear me out. WHAT IF this 9 minute presentation will be about how the managed to get PS3 backwards compatibility working on PS5…

 

[Represent.]

Not tuning into shit without a game announcement. They better not ask me to pre-order shit without new 1st party game announcements either.

Spoiler

*Pre-orders*

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

PRO should cost 999$ and be a what a name suggest, MUCH more powerful than PS5.

Have you seen this man talk? It will take him a minute to say a sentence including all the gazing and eye fucking.

What if it is 599 but it is digital only and then it costs 79.99 to buy the disc drive? Only 1 sku.

W or L?

 

[Heisenberg007]

BTW - this announcement makes me so happy because this way, they can actually host an SOP / Showcase some time later and show their new games running on a PS5 Pro.

 

[DenchDeckard]

9 minutes is shit tbh. How long was the Ps4 pro one, it was beautiful ASMR wasnt it?

 

[welshrat]

I'm fine with that

 

[Robb]

Good luck selling that thing, maybe as a door stopper or something

Me to the buyer before the purchase:

Me after the purchase:

 

[Ronin_7]

9 minutes is already more time than I have available.

More than enough.

This is literally a hardware presentation. When the PS5 was presented it was also a hardware-only show.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I wonder if the SSD speed will be scaled up here to go with the increased graphics performance. The original Road to PS5 pitched it heavily as a force multiplier that let you do more with the RAM, because you could only have active assets in there and swap them out entirely in a second as you turn around or something, vs a hard drive where you had to cache a bunch of data because they were so slow.

If this has been implemented in games, does the SSD speed have to scale up with larger graphical assets?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

From like 50 minutes to just 9?
It seems like they overcorrected from the OG PS5 presentation lol

Imagine he brings pssr to base ps5.
Will say this is your ps5 pro upgrade lol

Why would this be like the PS5 presentation. How long was the PS4 Pro talk he gave? 14 minutes. How is that not precedence?



Why are so many people unable to process the past?

 

[ManaByte]

Day 1. Sold off some shares and made a nice profit.

Doing the same. And I get more vested tomorrow so it’s perfect timing.

 

[Doczu]

So who is doing the hype train for this event?

Please put me on it

I'm sitting first class hoping to see it being good enough to upgrade my 4 Pro.

Any chance we will see some games tomorrow? Not specifically on the presentation, but i guess some NDA's will be lifted, no?

 

[SRTtoZ]

Here we go baby!! Day 1!!

 

[balls of snow]

Wonder if they move up the sop.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Oh 9 mins...

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I dont think he'll talk price. That's come from a mainstream Sony state of play or PR blogpost.

But I think the price will be +$150 vs current models. $200 is a stretch. And $100 for a big boost sounds too cheap in modern day.

$599 digital only

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Okay i do not have PS5 but aren't backward compatibility with PS4 a thing there?

He's referring to PS3 and PS2 compatibility since there's a bit of space inside the that graphical representation where it says PS5/PS4 Pro/PS4

 

[AmuroChan]

Cool. Just tell me when I can preorder.

 

[Represent.]

This is literally a hardware presentation. When the PS5 was presented it was also a hardware-only show.

They need to announce a showcase date at the end of the stream.

 

[Topher]

9 minutes is shit tbh. How long was the Ps4 pro one, it was beautiful ASMR wasnt it?

14 minutes. Massive difference, huh?

 

[jshackles]

Someone on GAF said this is going to the same time as the Switch 2 announcement, so I'm gonna watch that instead

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

I’ll be at work when it happens so I won’t be able to watch it live. I just need the price and see how much more powerful it is than the regular PS5

 

[SSfox]

Don't care. PS5 is likely my last gaming console, I'm going full PC after

0 full exclusive games, forced to pay to play online, PS6 is likely gonna normalize day and date exclusives which I don't want to be part of, have fun with this shit. Nah after 30 years of PlayStation I'm out from this trash joke made in Hermen Hulst and Jim Ryan in this last gen.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Lets do pre orders on friday

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Good question

I don't think we see games until the SoP but curious about NDAs

 

[ChiefDada]

I'm excited about the probability of seeing games running on PS5 Pro concurrently as he talks about PSSR and new RT tech similar to PS4 Pro tech talk.

 

[midnightAI]

9 minutes is enought to tell

CPU , GPU, HD, and other base topics

I have read here deep hardware speculation posts in less than 9 minutes. So of Marck has the hard data he only needs 5 Minutes not Even 9.

Do not think is a full Pro revela we won't SEE the console.

I think we might, it's just a mid gen refresh, it's really not that big of a deal

 

[skit_data]

When this man speaks it is wise to listen……..that look of pure evil genius on his face. Cant wait for tomorrow!

That picture is priceless. Incredible how such a softspoken man managed to pull that face in the middle of a presentation.

 

[Senua]

$599 digital only

We need kaz hirai to announce it

 

[ChoosableOne]

I don't intend to buy one but I'm excited nonetheless.

 

[Shakka43]

4K/60 this time for realsies!

 

[Kdad]

I remember seeing this during their E3 experience some time back. They hinted at backwards compatibility and I'll only buy the pro if we actually get it.

That was such an odd graphic

 

[[Sigma]]

Look forward to seeing the upgrades. Still, not looking forward to that price. May stay on the PS5 instead at least for a while.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

PRAISE CERNY!!

(and his presentations with the voice of a techno angel)

 

[Doczu]

Good question

I don't think we see games until the SoP but curious about NDAs

I guess they should show at least 1 game tomorrow (not a new one specifically) to show possible upgrades and third parties should stsrt talking about Pro patches/upgrades.

Give us some bones devs! Just not Ubisoft please.

 

[GoldenEye98]

If they use a 3rd party game for a demo it's likely to be newish as the requirement to develop a PS5 Pro version of a game probably only kicks for games in the next month or so.

 

[ManaByte]

That’s the look he gave Yuji Naka right before Naka dived over the cubicle and tried to choke him out.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

All this price talks reminds me of road to ps5 price reveal, people were going with the price stickers, yet ps5 was cheaper than predicted. Odds are ps5 pro might be similar.

Edit: although unlikely, as ps5 itself costs around 450usd, so I expect pro to be at 599$
