Rapper Travis Scott Has a PS5

I would bet all my money that all he has is the controller

Now his next hit single will be titled "Boost Mode"

Surely there is an event coming to showcase the UI and new features like Create?! I’m really hoping they have caught up with MS by adding trophy tracking, that’s the big one to me. Things they’ve currently highlighted like quick resume for multiple games doesn’t really interest me, but there are lots of features that could.
As mentioned, by this time their would usually have been journalist hands ons and such.

I'm assuming he is in Spider-Man Miles Morales, either as a character or as part of the soundtrack. Wasn't he involved in the soundtrack for Spiderverse?

@SirAngry good call! Totally can see that happening.
If the game has a full soundtrack akin to Into The Spiderverse, that'd be cool.

Im glad you said that was a TV, cos for the life of me I couldnt make out what it was in the background when I saw it earlier, I thought it was a box lol

@thefourfoldroot I hope they use the same system as Microsoft where it tracks your time in each game and all those other little stats. I do find myself pretty interested in them all when I’m browsing my games on the Xbox.

It looks like he's fashioned a body bag in to trousers. I don't understand fashion.

Oh that's cool

@WCB He's the fortnite concert guy.

Those are a pair of very shiny trousers!

@SLEEVExOFxWIZARD
I thought they only received the outer shell for demonstration purposes. There are no electronics inside. Just an empty (X)box.

@SLEEVExOFxWIZARD the actual console is out there, but the people with one have only been able to confirm they have it and no more until an embargo is lifted, not sure when that is though.

@WCB Imma guess he ain't never heard of you either.

@Medic_Alert haha yeah it took them a mi h or two to show the back of the console after showing the front even! That’s kinda pathetic really. It’s drip feeding information purely for the sake of drip feeding it. Next they’ll show you the power on beeps, a week later the lights on the front. A week later the boot up screen....

One of the best artists around atm! Hyped to see what he thinks about the PS5.

What a year it's been for LAFLAME with the Fortnite deal and the song in TENET.

Sony should give a PS5 to tech guys like NX Gamer. Or even RedGamingTech even if he s more of an xbox guy like most PC tech guys.

Im sorry who?
Only travis i know is
Why does it always rain on me ( every time i see a playstation 5 😭)
Fair play to him enjoy.
Ive a dual sense controller , remote control , the head phones and camera for the next vr set on pre order.
but no playstation 5 yet lol
Thanks for the read.

Guess getting a McDonald's meal named after you has its benefits.

Not sure about that setup, it needs a shelf under the telly. Where does he put his remotes and stuff?

@Medic_Alert Fully agree. Sony are taking the piss and they need to watch their shoulder as MS really seem to mean business with Series X.

Why give a crap rapper a PS5..... Surely give it to someone with a technical gaming position who can preview a PS5.... Not some plonker rubbing it in as he may have got one early?

For the love of god sony announce something. Anything. I'll even take a bit of info around the camera adaptor for the psvr. Its been on sale twice and im yet to see someone stand next to one and turn it on.

Why's he got bin bags on his legs?

To be honest my finger is hovering over the cancel button for my pre order. I want to see just how big this thing is. I have a day 1 PS2, PS3, PS4 (broken) and PS4 Pro. but I also have a Series X preorder and I'm very tempted to wait until the PS5 gets a size shrink and black paint job.

Edit: reading though the comments I'm seeing a lot of folks who have been long time PS players with long histories of sharing their excitement about all things Playstation on this site getting frustrated with how Sony is handling this launch. It's not a good look Sony. I wonder how much the changes at the top of PlayStation are responsible. How can they go from getting everything spot on 12 months ago to this messaging stumble after stumble!

Really sony? The old, lets hype up our product by giving it to a celebrity so they can post on their social media trick. So corny.

@TooBarFoo I only got one in the recent wave but the thought has crossed my mind today. My gut is telling me something is off. It’s hardly a show of confidence when you won’t show people the thing even after they’ve bought it. It’s probably nothing but it’s their own doing at this point.

I know what a PS5 is. Got not a Scooby Doo who the hell Travis Scott is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Weebleman Well put, It just feels off. But I'm sure in truth all is well. I just want to see it in tech reviewers hands. Without doubt I'll get a PS5 but I'm just starting to question the when not the if.

Bethesda acquisition will never make me buy a console just to play their games
Anybody can easily pass them

Ps5 is superior and i can't wait to get one and play demons souls, spider-man MM'
and Sack boy especially the co-op excited for it
and more and more

Play is truly has no limits

Not much of a Travis Scott fan but I am after seeing those trousers! I can already imagine the squeaky noises he makes in those.

@thefourfoldroot yeah trophy tracking is needed. Good call!

@SoulChimera I don't like it. I look at steam and how many hours I've played No Man's Sky (nearly 700!) and think to myself "Get a life" innocence is bliss sometimes. 😂

Vanilla Ice would eat this guy for breakfast.

Looks like a leather skirt. Just reinforcing the fact that most rich folks have no taste whatsoever.

I've also never heard of him

@Gremio108 maybe he has someone to do his channel changing etc for him?

@Medic_Alert calm down mate... we know more about these next gen consoles than ever before!! PLAY HAS NO LIMITS

@get2sammyb I bet you’re the only person to comment this

@Dan_ozzzy189 “taste” is only for broke people

@Kidfried well, to be fair Nickelback ain't a good fit for anything lol 😂

Actually scratch that, the YT deity we mortals call William Maranci makes some truly cursed mashups, but I'll admit I unironically like the bop that is Animals X Hotline Bling, despite not liking the two original songs individually.
I really don't know how he pulls this stuff off 😃

@Dan_ozzzy189 Probably. Or voice recognition. Maybe he raps his way through the channels

@AJDarkstar You might be on to something - perhaps he's just got a 3D printer?

Travis Scott? Who dat?

If that’s not a scoreboarding post I don’t know what is. Not enough to brag about playing his PS5 all night with his awesome media set up, but also while wearing nonessential ostentatious leather pants. Celebrities truly live in their own world...

It's totally practical to be gaming in leather trousers, obviously. I always bust mine out when I wanna play Horizon Zero Dawn or RDR2. There really is no better legwear for the job. 😂

@Rob_230 I have never heard of him either o_O

SOOOOOOOOooooooo If he has a Ps5......... whats he playing on it? Ps4 games??? Whats the point of that?

Does anybody know his gamer tag??? Hopfully he doesn't block people seeing his trophies

Just did a quick search.....
cactus_jackk92 is his Psn account, All Ps4 titles on his trophy list.
https://psnprofiles.com/cactus_jackk92 (last trophy was 2 weeks ago)

Unless he was told to make a new username and play offline???

@BNAG_Gamer haha i feel so out of touch/old. Im glad im not alone not knowing who this is 😁

So AAA developers can't even get these but this clown has one? What are you doing Sony?

@WCB

"Sicko Mode"

You're Welcome

@710King Why are you calling him a clown?

@whatever-156 nicely played

Travis Scott is a known gamer who has partnered with developers before so this kind of makes sense considering he’s a huge star. But for the rest of us, what is the point? Aside from rich people being better than everyone else?

@TooBarFoo I think any reasonable person would be annoyed at Sony’s bizarre drip-feeding of info and abysmal messaging all through this launch.
I say that as a Sony fan who plans to buy the PS5 at or near launch. The reason I’m still buying is the launch games and exclusives, which are actually really good this time.

But yeah I share your frustration.

In normal times many of us would have probably got a chance to play the game console at EGX in the UK.

I wonder if he jump the NDA gun here and will the sony cops be showing up at his front door.

Those pants are the real story here.

Who? Never heard of him.

I have no clue who this person is.

I am a bigger Fan than this nobody Give it to REAL Fans and not just people no one has heard of :-/

Gets handed a PS5 when they could clearly afford it even during these tough times.

Poor controller. Must smell like drenched balls in the sun.

Anyways, I've never understood that kind of marketing bs. You should give "PR" consoles to some poor average Joe blokes, sick kids, that kind of things, not to rich famous douches who only care about the brag.

At least Sony, picks a real celebrity, not this nobody "musician".

Who? Never heard of them.

@God_of_Nowt I was talking about on a personal level as well as gaming journalists. Lot's of third party devs have shown off their XSX's and journalists already have them as well and are prepping reviews. The same people are saying the aren't getting PS5's from Sony until closer to launch or at launch itself. This is inline with what Sony has been doing this gen, they don't seem to want to give their consoles to anyone early. But for some reason this Travis guy gets one? Wtf?

There are some devs who cannot get dev kits too. This website had an article about it a few days ago: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/09/football_manager_2021_is_not_on_ps5_ps4_because_sony_didnt_send_devkits

@Valhalla91 haha envious, wishful thinking 😂 fat chance.

Who is this guy then again a lot of music i listen to is not aired here in the states

@thefourfoldroot I'll never understand why people care about achievements and trophies in video games.

@God_of_Nowt what do you mean really soon? The freaking consoles will be out really soon 😂

@Carl-G maybe you should question your allegiance.

@get2sammyb ack ack ack ack aaaaack

@Kobeandodom
? That’s like saying you’ll never care why someone wants to complete side quests in video games just because those challenges are technically not necessary. Achievements / trophies are just extra challenges put into the game by the developers which I like to do if they are fun and to feel like I’ve truly completed the game.

@thefourfoldroot but they aren't inside the game. They exist outside the game. Instead of playing the game because you enjoy it. You are playing because a meaningless achievement is telling you to do it.

@Kobeandodom
No, that’s a silly thing to say. They are coded into the game by the developers the same as any other challenge. They are outside of the story of a game yes, but I grew up challenging myself to get better scores on r-type, and to shaving fractions of a second off my lap times in racing games. Challenges don’t need to be within a story.
And very few people force themselves to play games they don’t like for trophies. If you check thefourfoldroot on PSN profiles website you’ll see i’ve played 426 games across PS3, 4, VR, and VITA (the consoles with trophies) and only got all the trophies on 96 of them. Not because they were too hard, just because the games weren’t fun enough to keep playing, trophies or no.

@thefourfoldroot yes lap times are within the game. Achievements are outside of the game.

I can't wait to get my hands on a PS5! that's being said, I'm truly enjoying my back catalogue of games running on my PS4 pro! seriously though, playing games like Spiderman, uncharted 4, God of War, death stranding, ghost of Tsushima & assassin's creed odyssey on my HDR 4K tv is breathtaking. a few of the games I'm playing over again just to see how amazing detail they provide running on PS4 pro. I've only had my PS4 pro / 4K TV setup about 10 months now so I'm still discovering just how amazingly awesome these games are at higher resolutions. I've had EVERY playstation console the day it released with the exception of the PS1 (I was 5yo) but the PS5 is the first playstation console I'm considering waiting to purchase. the launch line up is okay but it's nothing 'must have' so I'll enjoy playing through my back catalog while I wait for some absolutely 'must play' games to release on PS5! is there anyone else who feels the same way as me? I feel wired for wanting to wait a little while before purchasing the PS5 but I can only imagine the amazing God of War bundle they'll release next year 🤣

@Kobeandodom
You are making very little sense to me at the moment.
Trophy challenges, like all other challenges in a game, are coded. Fact. Created by the developers. FACT.
They are completely user optional yes, and don’t actually impact the story, true, but I don’t really see how that means they are not in game challenges put in place by the developer like any other. The distinction seems completely arbitrary on your part doesn’t it?

Rapper? Who writes these articles? Should be writing comedy bits instead lmfao

@thefourfoldroot no because doing a quest within in a game is meaningful within the game. Shaving seconds off a lap is meaningful within a game. Achievements and trophies are outside of the game and and completely pointless.

@Kobeandodom
See you just have completely arbitrary opinion on what challenges are important based on whether it impacts a story or something. Strange. Very strange.

@thefourfoldroot I'm beginning to think that you can't read. At no point did I mention anything about "impacting story." if I pick 100 mushrooms it doesn't matter if there is an achievement attached to that action or not. The achievement or trophy is completely pointless.

@Kobeandodom
So you are saying that anything is useless if not strictly needed to complete the game? Fun or challenge doesn’t come in to it?
And I can clearly read, no need for insults, your opinion just makes no rational sense to me.

@thefourfoldroot we are just going in circles because you are not reading what I am writing. Where did I say anything about "if it's not needed to complete the game it's pointless"? Show me where I said anything remotely close to that.

@Kobeandodom
I think, after reading through your posts multiple times, I am seeing where our disagreement lies.
I see the task underpinning the trophy as a set challenge by the devs, and thus a worthwhile part of the game.
You see the word “trophy” and so think it’s some type of worthless accolade chasing task.
Is that about right?

@WCB one of those new mumble rappers that are popular now 🙄🙄

I....don't understand the point of this.

Like, he has a PS5 (if he actually does, I don't buy it, but good for him if he does). What does that mean for everyone else? The answer is nothing. This isn't marketing, he's not a "influencer" or youtuber. He's not spreading awareness or giving anyone new info about it. It's just bragging, that's it. None of his fans are going to see that and think "well if he's got one, I need one" (and if they do they're morons).

It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever for Sony to give this one specific guy a PS5 before literally anyone else.

@TooBarFoo

Not me. I love how Sony designed the PS5 with innovation in mind and I LOVE that we have a launch lineup.

I'd rather have innovation with input, audio, and game design as well as fantastic launch exclusives than...Gamepass to play old games.

The Dual Sense, Tempest engine, and SSD will revolutionize play.

Demon's Souls, Godfall, Destruction All-Stars, and Astro can not be played on PS4/XB1.

Miles Morales and Sackboy are big cross gen exclusives day one.

VR will be enhanced dramatically by PS5.

I'm all in on PS5 and I love the way things are shaping up. I'm not another sheep who believes in garbage propaganda. I can see that Spiderman is a true remaster. I realize that the Bethesda deal won't make Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive. I'm not into services. I like physical media. I love new games. I'm beyond hyped for PS5 and happy with my two disk based pre-orders. The wife and I are there day one.

I'm totally down with the kids, but never heard of travis Scott. J6st checked him out on you tube, really mediocre, made my ears fall asleep.
