Ok I wasn't expecting the GPU to only be 36 CU's, I also wasn't expecting the clock speeds to be over 2.2ghz, and finally I dont think any of us were expecting the SSD speeds to be 5.5gb. I must of miss them talking about the ram, not sure what the speed is of that. Interesting tech talk though, I liked it.
Could you even order it if you wanted to? I don't think they've opened pre orders yet, or given a price.
I'm embedded in the ecosystem due to the exclusives I like and my friends being PS exclusive, but I'm gonna need this to be $399.
Except Mark Cerny presentations are always like this. They regularly roll him out so you should expect this by now.
Did they hype it, or did they just let it be known that it was happening?
to everyone complaining about the style of presentation this ended up being, you were warned yesterday, you have no one but yourself to blame.
As for what was actually shown I'm more then satisfied. The hardware sounds exciting and I think it's a smart idea to get tech and the technical stuff out of the way. come a couple months from now we'll be talking games, price and what the actual box looks like.

So, uh, what's the TL;DR...what I got out of this presentation was that the 2 systems are basically identical and we basically already knew this before this presentation...
I don't know... Even if this conference is for the professionals, I think they should never have done this, ever.
Look at these fake audiences and dull lecture. These kind of stuffs just instantly kills the hype of average consumers.
Since they knew their main competitor's numbers, they should have just hidden the fact that their machine is weaker and released them later with actual gameplay demo on the live stage. It would be much more forgivable.
Sony PR team made a huge mistake.

I feel like this would have suited better as a closed doors conference. Very boring, but I understand zero about tech.
Well that was fascinating.
3D audio and haptics really do seem like they'll be a generational leap in immersion. Kudos to Sony and Cerny for actually innovating in interesting ways. My interest in PS5 has skyrocketed.

2 Wired articles and a GDC presentation 6-7 months before your new console is coming out. Woof.
Night and day from how deftly PS4 was handled.

VEEERY interesting tech talk that I understood and appreciated as a tech nerd
....that being said, I can see how folks will absolutely hate this approach.

First party and exclusive parties will definitely take advantage of the architecture; how will multi-platform titles respond I wonder.
Will these differences make either system easier to develop for?
That part of the discussion begins at 31:40 of the video.
I'm not even going to try and summarize it. =)
well, I think the "General audience" was probably expecting that. I wasn't but it's a shame they're going to get heat for this presentation.
User warned: Antagonizing other members
I'm quite happy with that presentation. Was just like the first half of the PS Meeting in Feb 2013 when they announced the PS4. Lovely stuff.
What were people expecting? Seriously? You knew what you were getting, don't lie now. It was GDC talk but pre-recorded. Sick of this young whiny generation of gamers. Go back to your fortnite and CoD shit.

It was a good technical presentation -- primer on the challenges they wanted to address, and how the architecture addresses them. Don't go in expecting anything more.
Sorry, not going to bother arguing it.
I'm all for wanting BC but expecting PS1-3 on the hardware is downright unrealistic. Thats some dream world stuff. lol
GDC presentations/conferences are usually available to the public though? People need to understand what a "deep dive" means and keep expectations in check. In this case, not even in check, but in the same field and atleast borderline realistic
No? People are pretty much universally bummed about the BC and are saying so. Stop trying to gaslight the thread and stir up more console war crap.
3D audio is much more important than people realize. It's a big leap forward and will be something people can't live without as it gets standarized down the road.
Since I'm part sound dork, that made for a good finale for me. There are some really exciting possibilities to be had by paying more attention to sound in games. It's tough to branch out into multisensory stuff, but the audio part of this largely audiovisual medium doesn't often get the attention it deserves.
Think of a proper Alien:Isolation PSVR2 release with this kind of sound tech behind it.

I know I am in day 1 and they will have amazing games too, but this was a very poor initial reveal for the PS5.
Some are saying that this was a GDC talk or that they didn't promise anything, but I would say Sony decided to do this live on YouTube and they should have known the type of audience they were going to get specially now that everyone is at home.
The details were interesting but as many have said I'd rather go see the eventual DF video than hear it here. I want to see the system, controller, news about games and features just like MS has done.

I hope some people enjoyed that, but for me personally, even though I care about tech and stuff, that was pretty boring. I thought we were gonna see the PS5 and it's controller, etc. Instead it feels like I just sat through a lecture about improving tech. I don't know, not very exciting.
i never thought reading a digital foundry article and watching their video coverage would be far more interesting than something direct from Sonys chief architect.
Concentrating on SSD and (rather strangely) 3D audio and glossing over other areas was....mmmm, i dont know a bit odd. Within the first few mins of the presentation I knew MS had the more powerful console

Yeah I don't know what were people expecting. It was never stated to be a console reveal.
Seems interesting, especially that super fast custom ssd. Hopefully the price is 399.
Since when was this supposed to be a console reveal?
I also cant tell if some of these posts are serious...

Yall for real? This seems like exciting next gen audio tech that'll make a notable difference to games. Unless you're the type that just listens to podcasts when you play or something.
It's so baffling. It probably doesn't matter much but what an opportunity they had set up on a tee and they were content to do...that.
Oh so the 825GB number for the SSD is after the system reservations. You won't get the full 1TB space in the Xbox Series X for games, so its not really different.
Apart from when they said no one uses it...
Sony Exec Comments On Backwards Compatibility
It's a much-requested, but little-used feature, Sony exec Jim Ryan says.

I do agree there. If you think back to the PS4 reveal they showed games of course but while Mark was going through the techy bits they showed off Unreal Engine and things like that to better visualise what he is talking about.
Instead we got the wireframe maps from the Crystal Maze.
And the thing is you know Microsoft are gonna capitalize on gamers' discontent after this deep-dive.
