I think it's interesting they got developers, including EA, to contribute comments to this article. Like a very swift/timely rebuttal to that rumour last week. I wonder if that was planned all along (I'm sure the article has been planned a while), or if they parachuted those dev bits in more recently.
Can't wait! The rumble sounds similar, but better than what's on the switch.
Maybe it's the same thing, and it will come down to developers actually using it.
And that doom and gloom was garbage. What a surprise!

For PS3, I might understand
But for PS1/PS2, it would be disappointing for sure
This is all part of Sony's plan as that rumor suggested. That they're building PS5 hype until full announcement. We are still getting a full conference reveal.
Probably right, I just rather temper my expectations. I'd rather be very pleasantly surprised or "Yeah I figured", that way I'm not bummed by the possibilities lol
Sony wants to tell the world that PS5 exists, without losing PS4 sales on Black Friday.
At the reveal of this thing, they should have Cerny have a 'one more thing' moment.
*The camera zooms in on his face* Cerny: ''Whisper quiet''.
That's the mic drop moment.
Ironically, dropping a mic causes a lot of noise.

They just tweeted it out? Man, what happened to the romance? The ceremony? The pomp and circumstance? This just straight efficiency is much less fun.
Na I'm fine with this. They'll do their big reveal next spring where they reveal the box and that'll be their big hype moment. Only thing I found odd is them not waiting until the holiday is over to announce the date.
So... I should cancel my Death Stranding PS4 Pro order? What have they said about backwards compatibility?
Since they're seem to be the team devoted to experimenting with brand new hw tech (PS Camera first, PSVR then, the DS5 now), I really doubt they have an Astro Bot sequel greenlit anytime soon.
ooooooohhhh.... I just realised. I got my PS4 about when my son was born. He's 6 years old and the PS5 will be his first "Next Gen console.
Exactly. Its like Sony gets it.
I swear its seems like in the middle of the PS3 era Sony's marketing has just been on fire man.
Yeah the only thing keeping me hopeful for PS3 was that patent from a while back.
But I'm not super knowledgeable on the technical side of things, so I'm not sure how much more feasible that patent actually made it.
What's in the grips sounds like 'fancier rumble', but perhaps also feedback that can be transmitted specifically through or to the base of the thumbsticks to modify their 'feel'.
What's in the triggers sound more like actual force feedback, as far as I understand it - as in, with the triggers, the game can change the resistance of them. Speculating here, but that might also mean they can lock them at a certain point, or pull/push them in and out programmatically. So while you're pulling a trigger the game can be applying opposite pressure on it, for example. Either case, that's something more akin to actual haptics than to rumble.
I'd say it's an eventuality. You can already download PS4 and PS2 games from PS Now, and if they're serious about expanding the service I think it's only a matter of time before PSX and PS3 (when emulation is ready enough) gets added. PS Now has obvious holes (no PSX, PS3 is streaming-only) that should be filled.
I think this is the best part. To me it all but confirms that all of the reactionary ridiculousness from last week was at least partially unwarrented.
This is to get out ahead of rumors. They'll still do a media blowout with hands on, this just saves them some money. It's smart and gets people excited for it. We have a full year left.
Just look at the current PS3 emulation and imagine that with full PS3 documentation and PS5's beefy specs
Really surprised they're going with a direct sequel. I thought they would reboot the original PlayStation.
Yep. Also when you factor in inflation isn't a 399$ console in 2013 roughly the same as a 499$ console in 2020? I'm too lazy to check on that.
And what does Schreier tweeting this negates anything said in the other thread?
Different sources, different devs. Sony doesn't treat all devs equal, see the cross-play situation.
But you know what, believe what you want. Arguing in this case seems pointless.
So with the resistant trigger they will be able to control how "difficult" it is to pull the trigger back basically? Or am I reading that incorrectly.
How were you that off? All the signs have been 2020 for a good long time.
If Sony is able to provide proper support and tools on time to one third party dev, why wouldn't they be able to deliver the same to other third party devs?
