Smoke and mirrors. Simply unacceptable.The new God of War doesn't look so hot. Huge downgrade on graphics (we needed a faster SSD Mark...) and the new style is a little off.

Yeah, its possible if Sony sells the PS5 with a loss.
They did two clear choices on the design of PS5 that shows that they want an affordable console.
The SSD capacity and mainly the APU size. Hence the choice for a small and fast GPU.
Microsoft took similar choices with the Xbox. Divided memory pool and a slower/simpler SSD setup.
If the Xbox Series X is $500 I wouldn't ruled out $450 for the PS5. As ZhugeEX tweeted in the past I believe that indeed the BOM (bill of materials) is similar between the two consoles. Probably a little lower for Sony.

oh man don't start with Spider-Man....all these possibilites they have.
exciting times ahead !
It's crazy.
The hardcore were so laser focused on the TFLOP count that as soon as Cerny announced 10.2 FLOPS, they walked away severely disappointed. It's taken the dev community to explain how bespoke the PS5 machine is for them to be like
Day later.

Deacon hears rumbling from the forest, you can see snow whirling on top of the trees...
Trees start to collapse and a horde of 3000 freakers is barging towards Deacon destroying everything in its path.
Next-gen please.
I wonder if next gen consoles are going to have some kind of a technique or a feature that allows for removed "deleted" games to still be in the system storage but with a much smaller size (compressed) so you don't have to re-download it again, just select the game you want and the system will unpack it and install it in minutes.
This way I can imagine not a lot of people are going to be concerned about upgrading their SSDs, especially the PS5 with its 825GB. And off course there should be an option to delete games and apps permanently.

They all need an awesome and long game right now:
BUY DAYS GONE!
Thanks yeah I don't really expect it out quite that quickly, though I could see them trying to ready a teaser trailer for whenever Sony does their PS5 games reveal event/stream.
Can't wait to see whatever they are doing and also can't wait for a PS5 Rachet (I hope).
Show the PS5... what crazy things are you talking about? The hardware Cerny was talking about are servers located in California. PS Now streaming is the only way to play games on PS platform next-gen.
Cerny talked almost exclusively about the hardware. I think the only software feature they've talked about so far is the option to choose which components (e.g. single or multiplayer only) of the game will be installed to save the precious SSD space.
If we don't get more indecipherable graphs at the next event then Sony have a lost a customer.
Yup. Wonder how long it takes the media to highlight that MS walked back the "all" (for obvious reasons, just like Sony's language) after not doing their due diligence on checking with Sony regarding PS5 BC if they weren't sure and taking their time to update their articles yesterday when Sony clarified. Now they're both the same, pretty much as expected.
Sooooo.
Aloy Flying and Spidey swinging are the showcases for SSD not holding back movement speed
New York/HZD's world will showcase freedom in open world design thanks to the SSD
Demon's Souls showcases no load times after death
GT7 and Silent Hill showcase tempest
Any other ideas?

Yeah, which is really cool.
That's true and it wasn't until after those features and the controller in the second Wired article that they confirmed there are a lot of new features they still haven't talked about yet.
LOL
They'll do the show with Little Big Planet graphs again ;)
You would be surprised. Whatever project they are currently working on, it may come out sooner than what people might think and I can't wait for them to announce it. Insomniac Games are super efficient from what I've seen so far, easily one of my favorite SIE studios. They are super passionate people. 😊
Great to hear! Excited to see what they're working on. One of my favorite studios too, love their stuff! Fantastic addition to PS first party.
It was actually kinda cool back then when LBP was new when they did it lol.

I guess the next final boss fight could be moving around the city at least 😉
3000 Freakers that all have KZ2 like hit reactions and the dismemberment from Doom Eternal!
But fear not, those random houses can be blown up in every which way, just remove a wall with your pipe bomb and slip away before collapsing the building with a remote bomb. Then shot everything that crawls out from under the debris.
Don't expect anything more this month to be honest. Sony said "more info in the coming months"
This is a good video, which sums up the problems of all the silence and weard strategy that Sony has been having in recent years.

The hope that remains is that they are doing it on purpose, since Sony itself told to shareholders back in 2018 (or 2019?) that they would have a pretty quiet time before the launch of the next console.
Sony definitely needs to be more aggressive going forward.

I think it could be really cool if they format the real unveil event for the PS5 such that you see the PS5 UI and each time there is something to showcase they move to the next item and click to start it and it goes straight into the game, to sell the whole 0 loading thing they got, end it all with "all of this ran live on a real PS5 system including the loading times between each boot and those should be representative of the final products"
Sony should probably copyright strike thisThe new God of War doesn't look so hot. Huge downgrade on graphics (we needed a faster SSD Mark...) and the new style is a little off.
Is their strategy thaaat bad though? I see huge excitement for PS5 everywhere, the hour long tech talk trended and has 13+ million views, we're about 8 months away from release and people are still highly anticipating that first console form factor reveal, not to mention the games. Sony has huge momentum.
I agree that the marketing has been weird, but at the same time it seems like it's successful?

yes please! would be really handy to reset stuff (no pun intended). Too much false information has been spread in some threads.
I would expect, with all the ssd-hype, that Demon's Souls will have instant teleportation to the various worlds.
Or even cooler, portals through which you can see part of the world, and as you walk through it you enter it without loading (wishful thinking lol)
Personally been ok with their messaging. Don't understand why people's opinion has changed. When the Wired articles were coming people were excited. The logo got plenty attention. It was fascinating to see Mark Cerny explain some of the thinking behind the ps5. And now we can get to the even better bits: the console itself and the games.
I think PS is gonna be just fine...
its safe to say that quite a few of those 13m werent satisfied with the video and that they could have been better used to generate momentum and hype.
with that said, i dont think that this is the end of the world for them, they just need their real PS5 showing to be an awesome one and go all out.
You can get it on PS Now, if you don't have the game. It's cheap and you might as well try the service
When you know you're creating hype, you better deliver something as good as people expect, or you can completely lose the confidence of those ones. Sony spending six months in silence has only made people believe that no matter what they are going to do next, it will be a giant thing. And the common sense about the "Road to PS5" thing that it was not good.
Imagine if Marvel Studios spends all those years of planning (which created a lot of hype through the years) for the Avengers Endgame but in the end the movie sucks.
If Sony still wants to stay focused on PS4 for a few more months, as the guy from Gamesindustry.biz said in his article. Wouldn't it be better to be quiet until the right time to reveal the PS5 with fireworks, lightshows and everything? I'm sure they had alternatives for showing all that information to developers.

When Sony's ready to communicate pricing, they'll reveal a PS5 Pro in the works. Complete with a Deep dive ,14T-Flops @ $550 releasing simultaneously with PS5 base @$399. You heard it here first. /dream lol
what if the reason they havent shown any games yet is that the generational leap in terms of graphical fidelity is barely noticeable (and would require one of those DF videos that they zoom in 4 times to show you it looks better), and there are no games that truly takes advantage of the fast ssd yet?
No way,they are just taking their time,the first games will already looks way better than what we have today,unless is all cross gen game,so this can happen.
On Thursday someone said that Bluepoint's game is going to be a real looker with its ray tracing and shinobi posted this as a response
Given the studios working on the PS5 already and the obvious tech leap, it'd be bizarre for the visual leap to not be blatantly obvious.
Yep. I am checking his twitter regularly. His work is phenomenal.
Actually, we should be getting more info on PS5 pretty soon but from Digital Foundry and it's only going to be even more technical than the last time.
I tried a little and stopped because I thought it was not my type of game (I never really liked the SoulsBorne style). I'm thinking of trying back, because I've seen a lot of people who shared the same opinion and ended up changing after insisting.
