Exactly! Dana Cerny is a bit boring but that is expected with the kind of presentation it is.

My issue is why did they chose to use this as their initial reveal? This needed to be GDC and/or private for the GDC audience.
The PS4 reveal struck a perfect balance of how to inform and also excite. This is just ill-conceived on many levels.

Don't understand why there doing this boring technical talk for a system we haven't even seen yet? Shouldn't the real reveal have come first? Sony are incomprehensible I swear

These are the sort of presentations that get given to the folks who will create the software that will run on the platform in the first place. So no, the reveal doesn't need to have come first. This wasn't planned to be a consumer facing presentation in the first place, it was for GDC, aimed at developers.

Anyone else worried that this System Architecture Deep Dive video is not going to appeal to all the people who didn't want to watch a System Architecture Deep Dive video?

So what I've gathered so far is that XSX has a bit more raw tflop power and more drive space however PS5 can load like twice as fast
Yup, PS5 has 5.5 Gbps I/O throughput per second. XSX has 2.4 Gbps. So more than double. This is gonna MASSIVELY impact gaming experience compared to the XSX. Sure the XSX will maybe run at a slightly higher resolution but most people don't see that difference. Double as fast loading time though? Everyone can see that.

I understand the approach here, even if it's superior to the Xbox Series X SSD, but the fact that you just insert some expansion SSD into the Series X sounds a lot more elegant than what is being described here.

Just release 1st party drives.

ngl, i tuned out. I am pretty interested in tech stuff but this clearly isnt intended for consumers (and it was said as such) so im really fucking baffled as to why this is the first piece of media that sony chose to properly talk about the ps5 with. It wouldve been fine if it was coupled with a couple of games, but oh well.

So current M.2 drives will be significantly slower than Sony's custom solution.

I'm all for Sony pushing tech but I hope we see third party solutions with competing speeds.

So no proprietary drives for the PS5? Off the shelf future SSD's will be fine?

If I am part of the PS5 Marketing, I'll make a more casual approach for the PS5 reveal first and show games, then create a separate talk regarding the system architecture after.

Why are you guys expecting this to be a full console reveal? They never said it was. I'll be shocked if they even show the console itself. This is all a tech talk.

This will go down as one of the biggest blunders that sunk the PS5. waiting forever to reveal anything, then when they do, its about i/o controllers and a SSD 101 course. wtf

They should just use the nvm as cold storage, would fix the firmware / controller problem. Hot loading would take seconds anyway.

This is such a bad excuse thou, I get it... Originally it was for GDC. But if so then just make a presentation only visible for that target audience. When you freaking twit to the masses and advertise in your blog to watch this show!! Then what?


It's a horrible presentation anywhere you'd see it imo.
Such a weird take. "Sony don't show us idiots anything too technical because we will have bad hot takes." Rather than just not having those takes.
