To me it's a marketing opportunity they took. As you see people are talking about it cause it looks different.

First PS5 devkit photo: Valid Verification or Very Vexing Vents?
- Thread starter Deleted member 4552

I mentioned this in the other thread pro has an out proprietary port like this on the rear of the console for PSVR for the processing unit. Pretty sure it's USB.Got an idea what's going on with port 1? Just a weird angle? Proprietary plug for PSVR or something (but still has the USB logo for some reason...)?
Multitap oh yesssThe V
That's what we used to call this thing. "Go get the V, we about to play Track and Field"
Strange design. I'm guessing ensuring adequate airflow was a top priority for the early devkits.
USB-C is on DualShock 5. PS5 will likely use USB-A anyway. Like Switch dock.
I mean, it's the same desing lol
Really? I don't see the resemblance tbh.
We're most likely getting USB-A on the console itself still.
PS2 dev kit, for reference:
man, the PS5 should be EXACTLY like the PS2! Gorgeous
Maybe the retail design will be like this, albeit smaller, but with a form of plastic shell over it to make it look like a standard console. Maybe the plastic 'lids' will have a 'v' design or some sort of dust reducing vent holes too.
This. And the dev kits are intentional that way so that the real design doesn't get out there. So kind of a marketing thing too.
You don't see the resemblance in those two things that look identical to each other?
Is it though? Aside from the shape, the vents, the button positions, the disc tray and the USB slots, it's completely different.
These are for stacking yeah? Is there a under side pic of the PS4 dev kit? If they can slot into these upper pegs that would answer the reason they are on the PS5 dev kit.
They stack.
im guessing final speeds and specs are all tbd, and ray tracing hardware not included or less powerful than final hardware. My armchair guess is 65W 8/16 Zen 2 and Radeon 5500 with 64 GB unified RAM inside
Would the release design differ that much based on the vents of the dev kit shown in the patent? Surely thinner and smaller overall, of course
I was watching an interview with Cerny and Andrew House from back in 2014 and the final design of the PS4 was chosen by the latter. Andrew had around 5 designs in his desk, which he later cut down to two and spend a lot of time thinking about which one he should pick.
Hopefully Jim Ryan is a man of good taste and picks up a cool design too.
Another unrelated story is from the 2013 gamelab presentation, where cerny said and I quote: "the number one request from developers for the PS4 was unified memory - something I was surprised. They also said if we had to spend our budget it should be on an extremely powerful GPU. He said developers didn't want a gpu that could do ray tracing (which devs thought it was exotic technology at the time) because their tools weren't ready for that.
I wonder if dev teams have been preparing for a long time now knowning ray tracing would be a thing in PS5/Scarlett.

you won't be sticking anything with ps5 specs to your face.
Lol
I just hope i dont have to deal with the VR box and the helmet/goggles plug into the console directly.
I know this is (probably) fake and everything but I can't get over how much I'm imagining that thing either blowing up or growing robot arms to murder me
lmao imagine holding that thing up to your head for several hours
Yeah, USB C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support (5000 Megabytes/sec) are really the only hope for external drives to keep up with the rumored PCIe 4.0 internal drives in the new consoles.
Whatever happens, I don't want to be limited to unexpandable internal storage.
No just give a matte rectangular cube with slightly rounded edges and this logo on it
The people who want one of these in their home....what the eff is wrong with you.
It's an abomination of the highest order, somewhere between a "gamer" PC case , a fan heater and a the Component of a car engine.
I'm sure it's extremely functional, but there is not a Chance in hell the retail unit will bear any resemblance to that.
