CERNY SEASON APPROACHING, F*CK WHATEVER YALL BEEN HEARING, THE MONSTER OF GAMING ALIVE AGAIN.
SONY BACK OUT THEY COMA, AND THEY BRINGING 13TFS WITH THEM
wow i'm lost for words.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
word up son ! (did i do that right?)
Word up son!
Greatness awaits intensifies
Finally!!! Not that they are doing it. I've been happy for Sony to announce when they are ready. But FINALLY, all the speculation can end, all the rumour mongering, all the mud slinging, all the annoying stuff about how many terraflops will it have and the questions about if it is more or less powerful that series x. FINALLY. All the whingeing can stop. It was boring several months ago. And its even more boring now.
WE DO IT OH MAN OH MY GOD WE DO IT BOYS
I'm guessing at least 26 tflops!!!
So excited got my card ready hopefully we can preorder right after!!
There. Happy now?
It begins ! Lol can we call calm down now.
Happy days! Quite excited by this. Fingers crossed for information about backwards compatibility and Silent Hill!
Finally! Very exciting.
sweet it's something to watch while we all stay indoors 😂
Jesus theres a toilet roll shortage as it is, without this on top... Usage is going to up with those who have been salivating and lusting for info..
Can't wait to see how this stacks up
Sony have had this planned for months. They have just been waiting for Microsoft to make the first move it seems, now the full specs are out, it is time for Sony to strike with their 13TF Beast of a machine.
As the legendary Kaz Hirai once said "Why go first, when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better?"
WE FINALLY EATING MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
HERE WE GO
That's nice, everybody loves Cerny.
My office has us working from home. Kids are out of school until April 6. This will be a nice reprieve.
OH YEEESSS!! Finally! 😃😁
My guess is we'll see something bigger and better!
I don't think Sony waited for yesterday's SeriesX full reveal to announce something smaller. Otherwise the hype of the "beast" console will remain to SeriesX.
Lets wait for tommorow!
@kyleforrester87 we should have had Mark Cerny and Phil Spencer in a room (2 metres apart obviously) playing console specs top trumps.
Livestream woohoo 👍
@jdv95
Champion!
Drop some Knack 3 news too, Mark my boi.
Everyone “working” from home 😂
I couldn't care less about architecture, but I'll be on the lookout for the news of any remote play capabilities and the potential devices involved. This is what my future relationship with PS5 is resting on.
so will this include a look at the console itself?
also silent reboot comfirmation incoming tomorrow bet.
It sounds like their talking about the actual system, not the games so temper your expectations in that regard.
About time Sony but nevertheless the hype is so crazy 🤪
Good news everyone
is everyone happy now?
I hope we get some real good info from this and at the very least know how powerful it is, right now MS is boasting the Series X can do Gears 5 at 120fps so yeah Sony need to be firing hard right now because regardless on my thoughts of MS and Xbox they are revealing lots and doing a great job of selling it. Also Sony need to reveal if they have their own version of "Smart Delivery" because they will be taking the p*ss if they expect everyone to buy all the games again when MS are giving Next Gen versions out for free.
I have a meeting ending at 4pm. I am all over this bad boy.
RIP XBOX
@DonJorginho dude hahahaha.
ok that's a funny one.
@get2sammyb I somehow tink Sony waited for the Xbox team to spill the beans!
@DonJorginho Within the next 24 hours or so this image will either very accurate or didn't age well haha
@WallyWest I trust in Lord Cerny to not screw me over, if I am wrong... Then expect a swift deletion haha
@kyleforrester87 I am actually, I just found out earlier I'm working from home tomorrow afternoon!
@Sanquine Nah, this was planned for GDC.
@WallyWest
'the Series X can do Gears 5 at 120fps'
Oh wow. Ps5 cant do that for sure 😉
Oh boy. Interested to see what they'll say.
So my Champions League theory was correct. Although I predicted it would be on late February, also the other half of the 2nd leg of matches got postponed due to the current environment. But my theory still stands.
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/01/yeah_that_rumoured_5th_february_ps5_reveal_event_aint_happening
And there I through I will have nothing to do on my birthday than lying sick in my bed. Thank you Song! xD
I just had a Tiny Orgasm
I'm conCerny that Xbox might look at PS5 specs and decide to beat them
@JJ2 If the 9 Teraflops rumour ends up being true then yeah there's a big chance it most likely wouldn't be able to do 120fps, consoles now even the X1X struggle with 60fps so a console what's only a bit more powerful then the X1X isn't going to be hitting 120fps.
Y'all happy now!!!! PS5 will be amazing and tomorrow will blow people's minds!!!!
Show the box, announce price, games and pre-orders!
And we off to the races.
Guys, keep calm...it's happening....KEEP CALM GUYS PLEASE SIT DOWN IT'S HERE KEEP CALM AAAAAAARGH
@Futureshark lol😂😂😂😂😀
Sheeiiiiittttt. It’s getting real now. Very intrigued by Sony’s conference. About time aswell👍🏻
@WallyWest tbh the rumor that it will have13 TF is more likely now.
Finally. Really looking forward to hearing more about the system.
OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS !!!!!!
I can marry Mark any day!!
Good maybe people will stop complaining now
Yessss Mark Cerny the absolute legend!!
@beavis64 Yes because the PS3 reveal and its first few years were really magical and the Pro was not just some half baked cash grab and the Vita is the biggest handheld ever. Look i love PS but right now the PS4 is top what means Sony are in that cocky stage what the leader always gets like at top, Sony need to step up and not just think they have a free pass because the PS4 is top.
@TheNewButler well the guy that claimed he knew the specs of the ps5 was correct about the xbox series x specs revelead yesterday.
now ofcourse these are just all rumors and should not be taken as fact (neither should the 9TF rumor) so we are all just guessing here.
@twenty90seven I hope!!
@TheNewButler i don't think either will be more powerfull than the other.
xbox might have 1 more TF than the ps5 for example but than the ps5 might have a faster SSD. they will balance each other out in that way.
One thing to think about... Could Sony reveal specs for PS5 just a DAY later than MS if their product was weaker?! I don't see it happening, really.
How can Sony came up just now and say "ok, you know, the console revealed just a couple of days ago... yep, that Series X, is better than ours..."
So I bet their all about the same in almost every way, otherwise Sony will be better waiting until the Series X heat dissipates.
@DonJorginho Seems about right, if they go out with the Series X specs so fresh, they are very confident on PS5.
IT'S TIME. BLOW US AWAY, SONY.
New member here
I hope it’s good, I love hardware a
But due to the current situation wasn’t overly excited, I don’t think I will be after tomorrow either just can’t think about a new console with the news and world situation being as it is, not even sure I’ll have a job if it’s going to take a year and a half to resolve the situation..
Finally!! The good part of the self-quarantine we're living is that I'll be able to watch this live here @ PushSquare. =)
@beavis64 that is good also. Keep it simple.
Not bought a home console in 7 years - so ready for an upgrade.
Hilariously excellent timing for the US since so many schools are shut, but they don’t actually start remote learning until next week.
Knack 3 or GTFO.
Buzzing is an understatement!!!
My body is ready...
Well I just got fired from my job due to Coronavirus 😟
I really needed some good news so this helps.
@RenanKJ ah yes I did forget that part.. so long as it’s at a sensible time for my country (UK)
@RawnDawn sorry to read that... : /
Then MS will be like, oh, if you buy 2 XBSX and bridge them with this connector, you get 24 TF...
At last some good Next-gen Console News!!!
@LiamCroft Word = bond!
Fantastic news, looking forward to it! Love Mark Cerny, could listen to him talk tech for hours.
N.i.c.e now we talking.13 14 teraflops.cant wait.word up son
@WallyWest they don't have a free pass but they do have the upper hand given the way the ps4 performed last gen. they aren't playing catch up. Microsoft are.
@LiamCroft. PlayStation 1995 approves.word up son
@RawnDawn Hey man, I'm sorry to hear that.
@WallyWest
The question is, can SeX do Days Gone 2 at 120fps 🤔
I’m also WFH like a good number of people. I’m also really looking forward to this broadcast; I trust Cerny to deliver.
I’m also on a conference call immediately before the broadcast, so I’m going to keep it very brief!!
I am really interest to see Sony's approach to next-gen. I still plan to get both a PS5 and Xbox Series X (on the same day, actually as I am deferring my purchase of each system to see if there are any major defects that need sorting out).
Right now, Microsoft has my attention (mostly because Sony has been so silent). Even if the PS5 ends up being slightly more powerful, Microsoft's approach to legacy software is most interesting, and, to me, a bigger draw.
Yes, I understand the focus should be on the next-generation of games, but the fact that there is still incredible consideration for back catalog games is just cool - especially if there are games people still go back to play on the previous system.
In fact, being able to see the games running using 100% of Series X hardware (even if it's just to stabilize frame rates and resolutions) breathes new life into Xbox One games that may have had some problems maintaining framerates/target resolutions - especially those with Xbox One X enhancements. The ability to enable HDR for old games is also an incredible way to bring old titles back from the dead.
Sony really needs to knock it out of the park with the reveal. We all know it will have great exclusive titles, but I also want to know Sony's plan for cross-generation and backwards compatibility. Honestly, if there are no PS1/PS2 Classics anymore...I am going to be a touch disappointed.
@GamingFan4Lyf well, it's great to be able to run old games with some minor improvements, like resolution and loading times, HDR also... I love old games (or just games, be clear) but 100% of the next gen consoles will be seen in none less than 3 years after the launch, and hopefully those type of games will be really different to what we have now. Those custom SDD (with the memory mapping tricks) and monster CPUs should allow pretty weird stuff in the right hands.
Here we go! As others have pointed, the fact that Sony have announced a reveal so shortly after the full reveal of the Series X would logically suggest that the specs of the PS5 stack up nicely against its competition. I’m expecting the two consoles to be pretty similar in terms of power.
But I am looking forward to seeing some unique features of the PS5 that gives it some differentiation over other next gen consoles. Hype for tomorrow!
Whooo! I can’t believe it it was announced with such short notice. I hope it’s a live conference, just without the crowd. Hyyypeee!
My feeling is that Sony wouldn't be going so soon after MS unless they had a system which is at least very similar in spec and capabilities.
I still also feel that they've had a basic system ready to go for a while, and have just been waiting to see what the competition does to know which configuration will be most comparable and cost-effective. Remember, unlike PS3 which was entirely custom, PS4/PS5 are essentially PC components, so in theory things like better CPU and more RAM can just be dropped in.
@DeepSpace5D just what i was thinking
@RawnDawn seriously, that sucks
the government should have something in place to prevent this kind of thing
See, we were right, it was about time to Sony to speak out, and stop MS dictating the next gen conversation.
@MattSilverado
@LiamCroft
@FullbringIchigo Thanks for the kind words you guys, luckly I have money saved up so it won't affect me too much until I'm able to get another job but I feel bad for those who don't :/
This virus sucks major butt :/
Now we will just have to wait for Microsoft to reveal the price so Sony can follow.
@RawnDawn yes it does and as someone who suffers with COPD i am already self isolating
Games and full backwards compatability and we're golden.
I really think that the launch date of the PS5 will be postponed.
The coronaVirus is still, and will for a while, affect every county in the world, if not even more time if the virus doesn't mutate again. So even if it's cool to get the info, I know it will be a long time until I get my hands in one.
@LiamCroft I have familly in the Uk, London and Oxford. I know that you guys are not giving the right attention to the virus.
Please, stay home, you and all the staff. Be safe. Search a bit what other countries are asking for people to do, in terms of washing hands, etc, and start doing it right now, please.
This is very very serious. It will get much worse.
Be safe, stay home. And more important, convince every older person you know to do the same.
Finally! And all it took was a Pushsquare talking point article. Well done for getting them moving boys 😉
Swwèeeet!!! Hopefully get some info on release date and price, and maybe have a look at console and controller and couple of features to get us exited. Hopefully be able to pre order too, will defo be pre ordering it. Will probably book a week off work, paternety leave lol
Finally some good news, take my mind off the fact that corona is taking over my country. Working in a supermarket sucks bananas now.
Some good news amidst all the doom and gloom. It gives us all something to look forward to anyway.
How much y'all wanna bet a delay announcement is incoming?
Great news to wake up to
I dont look at pushsquare.com for two days and look at what happens!! Cant wait to see what's coming
Not worried about the hardware I'm sure it will be more than capable. What I'm interested in is the games specifically if we have Demon's Souls as a launch title
@jdv95 To be honest, a Silent Hill reboot by Sony would make so excited I'd forget about the PS5.
Knowing this was a GDC planned event Cerny is going to get super deep with specs and maybe we see him use Godfall for display but more like Spider-Man PS4 to display upconvert. I'm not expecting price, date or new game announcement just straight hardware analysis
Cool, I'm excited to hear what they have to say.
Looks like I'll be taking my break at 9am tomorrow morning. Can't wait!!!
@DeepSpace5D
I think people are looking at it the wrong way. It was planned for GDC (and planned for today afterwards) and its Ms who reacted by dropping in dept video just before.( or more precisely by inviting influencers to make videos)
@JJ2 That’s possible, but with what’s going on globally, I think it would have been understandable if Sony delayed it further apart from the brand new full specs reveal of the Series X, so as to draw less of a comparison between the two specs if they had anything to worry about in that department.
They know that revealing the specs of the PS5 not 48 hours removed from the Series X reveal, that there is going to be a side-by-side comparison of the two in an abundance of articles across the internet. It seems like they are fine with this, and I believe the PS5 will be a beast of a console, similar to the Series X. We will find out in just a matter of hours.
@DeepSpace5D
Imo it would be worse if they delay it because xbox dropped videos (and theres no reason. Xbox just wanted some spotlight before) . It would have leaked.
Bth maybe bluepoint will show something.
