Excuse me while I get ready...

That enough?
 
Here's how to sell better Ray Tracing:

"Dear user, the ray tracing in PS5 is nearly unusable. It has too much of a performance penalty. While it was technically possible on the console, it wasn't very usable and is really in tech demo territory for practical usage. We have now created a new Playstation 5, the PS5 Pro that will actually let you use raytracing while you play without as much of a performance penalty using little dedicated hardware nodes we stuck all over. It's a generation leap in lighting. The best part!? We already put token Ray Tracing in all your games(knowing you likely wouldn't be able to use it on the vanilla ps5) so we don't have to do much to get them running on the Pro. It's a win all around. That doesn't even count the new PSSR. The hardware also runs cooler and quieter so it should last longer and the graphics are better. Best console to play GTAVI(is it coming to PC at launch? Hmm?). You are going to shit when you see this thing."

Now what digital foundry!?

I just realized a have a freaking meeting during that time.

I just need one employee to call at the last minute and say they are going to be late. That will be an excuse enough to cancel the whole thing.
 
1. Identify my preferred retailers - Amazon, Gamestop, Bestbuy, Target, Walmart
2. Make sure I can log in with 1 click on my phone and laptop to each site
3. Make sure my payment info and stored address is correct on each site(updating as needed)
4. Download X/Twitter on my phone
5. Finding @ Wario64 - the X user, ostensibly not the neogaf poster, and turning notifications to "On"
6. Uncomfortably perch(back pain helps to incentivize quicker refresh)
7. CTRL + F5

What am I forgetting Sony bros!?

Any good replies to his tweet? I am not going to create an account just to read 😐
Why better RT with asterik? Isn't 2x to 4x better? As usual they look at the 45% better rendering mention but completely discard the up to 4x better RT written in the same document. But as mainstream medias they are used to cherry pick stuff to fit their narrative. Anyways some of the replies:


This one is actually right. This is not a machine for the masses.


But really it should be this, a high end product will sell well, it's what the market wants:


And this talking about AI Upscaling already well known by gamers thanks to Nvidia:


Next Alex Tweet I am expecting him to talk about unrealistic expectations: this can't do path tracing like a 5090!

Just tell them you have to PSSR when Cerny comes on and then stay in the bathroom until your preorder is secured.
 
I'm feeling ready for another playthrough of FF7 Rebirth again by the end of the year, preferably at 60fps and a very crisp IQ on the Pro.

Make it happen. 👀
 
10 mins technical dive is all that's needed this isn't really for the consumer except to say new pro console is coming. This is for the more enthusiasts who need to hear nerd terms to sell. I'd expect maybe 1-2 games showcases to show the differences in ray tracing etc, and from here out some game videos and visuals to flow until release.TGS and Sony showcases

Why 9 minutes? To announce the ps5 pro, the price, specs, release date and hardware reveal. Maybe show the difference between the power of the ps5 and pro.
 
Buy the detachable disc drive now from a place with about a 30 day return policy, you will know by then (before the rush to buy those drives hit)
A chain store here in Canada that is shutting down was selling them for $50 CAD last week...

Just show me how FF7 rebirth quality / performance mode visual improvements along with FF16 and I'm all good. I'll buy it
I think Rebirth shouldn't be too difficult, as the 60fps mode was already smooth (as was the 30fps) it was just the IQ/resolution that they couldn't improve and it was like 1080p-1440p using FSR1. But PSSR can resolve that as can the extra power and take it to something closer to 4k.

Here we go. He's coping already.
AND HERE IT IS, AS PREDICTED. Called it long ago they would cast doubt on Cerny's words, but I expected they would AFTER the technical talk, not before. 😆

He hasn't even spoke and they're clinging to his skill to explain 'better ray tracing'.🫠

They haven't the slightest clue, like us, how it's gonna be. Yet they're already with the hows. Not a single technical detail.

Wait for it, when it ends, they will reexplain everything Mark Cerny said in maybes, we'll see, etc just as they did with Road To PS5.

I'm not clairvoyant, they're just that transparent to me and many others here.
 
If selling my PS5 on eBay is always a cesspool/risk and I live in SF Bay Area and don't want to get murdered or just beaten up and mugged by some rando on FB marketplace or Craigslist is my best option a GameStop trade in?

Yes. You can get $400+ gift card (if you have pro membership) for PS5 slim or fat, by trading in to GameStop today.

9 minute presentation means no new game announcement which is extremely disappointing. i was told by many here that sony was skipping e3 to do a full showcase alongside the pro reveal in september.

i guess they still arent ready to show stuff. fucking herman.
Herman the hermit.

At this point the ps5 pro has a severe identity crisis. Without new games it has no selling feature.
So who is this for? Do i have to replay my old games to get something out of it?

Its almost as the whole industry already moved on and they just want to pass on to us all this stuff they came up with years ago.

And without any big heavy hitters like any first party or gta6 etc. there is no need for this.
 
Great tip 👍
You guys are geaks!
I didn't just purchase a PS5 Disc Drive on the advise of a complete stranger on the internet.

How dare you call Heisenberg a complete stranger?
It will be called the pro as an unlisted video even called it that before they changed the title

How ridiculous to call this a PS5 and not a PS5 Pro event. And less than one day before it. What are they afraid of? Scalpers because they will announce the start of pre-orders? This could be the only reason IMO.
