They are doing it tomorrow because that was planned for the GDC. Not because MS revealed the specs yesterday.

I don't know why people are thinking that multi-billion dollar corporations are just sitting around waiting to respond to another. As much as some can't fathom it, these things are planned well in advance because they have to be. Everything has to be coordinated. I can't believe people actually think that Sony saw that news yesterday and had Cerny scramble to come up with some presentation to counter it. Does that actually sound realistic to anyone?
The livestream would be at 11PM where I live.
I just read the news (and meltdowns, lol) the day after, after I wake up.

I'm sure there'll be tech demos like what Xbox released yesterday. Probably showing off Spider-Man
I hope its not only the numbers, demos are one of the best ways to sell a product.
1%.
As said in the other thread, you'll likely have some videos like MS showing what was said in the wired article: load time comparisons, quick resume, etc.
It won't be just Cerny in front of a powerpoint (even if there'll be a lot of that).
I mean, I guess it's possible. But they made a big deal out of revealing the actual PS4 hardware (remember it wasn't in the PS Meeting presentation), so i'd imagine they'd want to do the same with this.
So this is going to be like MS showcase then.
Technical specs only, we might see the console tho

Hmmmm, ok, I can totally see controller though. Cerny seems proud about that one.
I'm not expecting any next gen games to be shown since this was a GDC presentation. I also still think PS5 will be weaker than the XSX, which is fine with me. Even at 9TF it's a day one buy.
If I have to guess they will be either on par or with a slightly difference in clock speed for the CPU or 1 less/more Teraflop.
We'll see. You may very well be correct. I'm just glad we'll have more new info tomorrow.
Ughhh.
It's just, 80% of this architecture will probably be an exact copy of the Xbox.
At least there they showed the box and controller.
Alright, expectations set and lowered.
It's not reactionary, lol. They can't put together a tech presentation about their new platform worth billions of dollars in a couple of days.
Twitter's stock about to drop 10%!
Again, this was meant for the GDC. So expect tech talk. Pretty sure you will get some demo footage from Spider-Man (etc.) to show the quick SSD load times.
You'll feel happier (and everyone else) with lower expectations and some surprises than the reverse anyway :p
I wonder if we'll get a spec sheet on PS Blog as well.
Yeah, PlayStation is a mighty brand.

Goddammit I'm so happy all the bitching an moaning can finally be over. Looking forward to tomorrow, because good or bad, at least we'll finally have the facts right before the war about percentage points can begin
The last time I remember Sony using the expression "deep dive" it was about E3 2018 where they promised an focus on their big games and what we got was more cinematic trailers for TLOU2, Death Stranding and GoT with no live gameplay and no real information.
I hope they didn't bring Cerny to do small talk and vague buzzwords but to deliver actual data with concrete examples (demos).

That is false, all of thoes games got gameplay.
Did you even watch that e3?
You got extensive gameplay of all of those. Which was the first time we'd seen any gameplay from Part II or GoT. And both of those were uncut shots of gameplay.
From that leaked Spider-Man loading demo on the PS5 from a while back, do we know if that version of Spider-Man was optimized for the PS5 or was it just Backwards Compatibility with the PS5's architecture doing the rest of the work on the improved loading times?
They had gameplay. They weren't deep dives in the slightest but they were gameplay demos
They all had demos, what in the world are you talking about? Only one that get more like a trailer was Death Stranding but we all know how that turned out. If you mean actually have developers on stage and explain what each button does or narrate a mission, then no. If anything they should define what a deep dive even means.
I also gotta say the sheer lack of empathy outside this thread towards both Sony and Microsoft at this current time is unreal. Both teams are likely shook due to change of plans and pandemic yet are still putting things out for the community yet everyone won't shut up about mind games and conspiracies. Like sure I'd expect that on YouTube or Reddit but here..? Bah
Excellent-6pm local time for me with the presentation.
I'm not expecting to see much software but I'm still equally excited for Cerny's soothing voice to go over PS5 specs.
Time to get in that tub.
