Man I really hope that's not even close to what the final retail design looks like. As others have said, that vaguely 'X' looking design ain't cutting it.

If the PS5 is supposed to be so incredibly powerful and have components similar to Xbox Series X, why would it have a case design that similar to the original PS4? You know, the same one that many people complain sounds like a jet engine? Cerny and the engineering team would have had to come up with a pretty impressive cooling solution to make a design like this work. Hello, airflow?

There is also the issue of branding. The PS4 was pretty elegant in its use of the single 'PS4' engraved into the top layer of its case, along with the Sony logo and 'PS' on the removable cover. This design seems to have that extraneous lip just for the second 'PS5'... it just so unnecessary.

I hope all these delays don't put a damper on the PS4's retirement party.

@ApostateMage such incidents only happen in Florida.

@Enuo unless Ghost of Tsushima also gets pushed back, in which case they might as well just make it a PS5 launch game with a PS4 'downport' if they remain adamant it's coming to the current-gen system.

For what it's worth, I hope this is not the case.

As a graphic designer, I'm really feeling the designs by Pelochoman. So clean!

This isn't back in the day when Sony famously announced '$299' at E3 for the PS1.

Sony has most likely weighed the value of pouring resources into E3 2020 for months and just see they can have a bigger impact by hosting their own events in the lead-up to the PS5 launch.

They already know they're generating more hype than the competition just by the little snippets of info they've given out so far.

Sony and PlayStation will be fine without E3.

@banacheck Because Internet. You see, Internet just cannot make up its collective mind.

@WillMerfi It's that kind of time when rumors and speculation as to where this industry is going will be rife, and it is PushSquare's, as well as any other credible video game news outlet, duty to report on the more sensible/possible of them.

Let's get it!

Looks cool, but it reminds me more of a Minecraft graphic style. To be truly PS1, it needs some pop-in, fog, texture warping and visible polygon seams.

As unlikely as it may be, I am really beginning to think that backward compatibility with multiple PS generations (not just PS4) is one of the yet-to-be-announced features. I hope I'm right, but if not, it'll be awesome to have a shiny new PlayStation to carry on the legacy of this great gaming powerhouse.

And just like that, eyes are back on Sony.
They just know how to get all the attention.
So even if the PS5 does turn out to be a little less powerful than the Xbox, it will still have the majority mindshare amongst console gamers.
PlayStation Forever!

Misinformed comments about being 'now able to play PS4 games natively on PC' coming in 3, 2, 1...

@thefirst it's 10 months before the new hardware launches, and at this time it is still a rumor that it'll be capable of 4 generations of backward compatibility. Only PS4 has been confirmed at this point, so enjoy your PS2! Kinda wish I still had mine.

I wonder if the in-game graphics (not the cut scenes) will be on par or better than the early 2000's LOTR movie visuals. I think Gollum is still to this day one of the best looking full CGI characters around.

Welcome to the year of the PlayStation 5 everyone. Seems so weird to me to say that our current generation systems launched last decade...
That said, I'm really looking forward to all the announcements coming this year from all gaming platform holders, but especially Sony.

Well, at least this game got the Y2K bug right and refuses to work.

Well, you know what they say... 7th times the charm, lucky number 7 and all that jazz...
Seriously though, the Uncharted game franchise may have joined the likes of Pong and E.T. in that great gaming museum in the sky before this film ever gets made.
Chop chop, boys. Tom Holland may look young now, but he'll be acting grandpa roles if you don't do something about this, like just accept the games are good enough.

Feliz Navidad, Push Square

I hope they stay the course and use an updated version of the PS4's logo type.

@3Above Seems to be a recurring theme, doesn't it? First XBone(r) now XBoxSeX...
Someone needs some counselling over at Redmond.

@ztpayne7 Nah, I leave it to them to figure that out for themselves.

Upon a foundation of PS4s will I build my castle, that is how stable the system will be after 7.01

@chase2ghosts I smell a language warning coming on. You must be new around these parts. Welcome.

Hey PC players I have a solution for you:
1. Buy a PS4 now.
2. Buy Ghost of Tsushima when it comes out.
3. Download the Remote Play app for PC on your clapped out rig from 2010.
4. Play the game that way.

Problem solved

Jill's looking kinda... thiccc (and nice)... in that 5th picture.
That's a good thing in my book.

Longest trailer at the awards you say?
There best be a release date, or at least a release window, at the end of it.

Thank you Mr. Kutaragi. Without you, there would be no PlayStation.

@Rick_Deckard didn't catch that, must have been looking away when that happened. I'll check out the replay.

@Dodoo Nice...
Dude, it's 2019 🤣🤣
I actually like that song, so yeah, I listened to it the whole way through.

@AdamNovice @BearsEatBeets ah ok then, I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Was it just me or was there a new sound at the beginning of this State of Play, instead of the PS4's 'beep'? Preview of the PS5's startup sound, perhaps?

Dare I say it, but I'd love to see at least one more Ratchet & Clank game announced before this generation is consigned to the dust bin.

Well I'm half-way expecting the final retail PS5 design will be uncovered by LetsGoDigital at this rate. I'm also interested in seeing what the Xbox Project Scarlett hardware (dev kit, controller etc.) looks like.

@get2sammyb 🤔 interesting. You've piqued my attention, Sir.

@get2sammyb Are you from the future? Tell us what the PS5's startup sequence is PLEASE!!

Indeed. PS1's startup is still my favorite to this day. When it's played through a great home theatre setup, it can give you chills.

Sega Genesis was my very first home console, bought for me in 1992 (not counting the OG Gameboy I got as a comforting gift after my mum died in 1991). I played the Genesis right up to the day I bought my PlayStation 1 in 1999 for Gran Turismo 1.
I remember being amazed with it's CD music visualization capabilities and played numerous game magazine demo discs, borrowed games, whatever I could get my hands on. I bought the PS2 in 2001 and GT3, GT4, Ratchet & Clank, Need for Speed Underground, Colin McRae Rally 3, Sonic Mega Collection etc. were always in my console. Some idiot broke into the house and stole my precious PS2 and all my games and I was heartbroken for a while, until I was gifted a replacement used PS2 by my cousin. I never had a PS3 because at the time of its release I was dealing with my grandmother's and uncle's deaths, and had no real interest in gaming, and then was hit with some financial constraints that negated anything not absolutely essential. I returned to PlayStation with the PS4 that I now have in 2015 and I love the experiences I've had on it thus far. Even though I don't have nearly as much opportunity to game as I would like, I will be sticking with PlayStation when the PS5 comes out, but I'll wait a year or two after launch before I upgrade.

So will there be anything to fill the typical summer games drought, seems the first quarter of 2020 is too heavily loaded.

@Lando_ Also, congrats Lando (well, your namesake)

It went just as I expected. I don't know why some people on the internet worked themselves up into a froth over what was always just going to be an awards ceremony.

I did get a few chuckles seeing Yoko Taro having to be shuffled around on stage, and his moon mask looking to be held together with a few bits of tape. I always thought there was some way he could see through that thing, but the way he was punted around, I guess not.

@thefirst I think the 25th Anniversary PS4 will be called 'PS5'
But yeah, they may reveal a 25th Anniversary version of the current hardware too.

@LiamCroft Yeah, I'll be up. As a graphic designer, I'm used to those kind of hours. Cheers Liam.

Thanks for this @LiamCroft. Will there be/is there a similar guide for the PlayStation Awards?

@get2sammyb Which for me is surprising given this is PS4's last Black Friday as Sony's main console.

That's the breakfast, lunch and dinner of many a gaming champion right there.

@Gremio108 🤣 Thor don't need no Kart, he's got the power of Thunder.

Alrighty then.
So when might we be expecting that Mad Box console, Mr. Bell?

@LiamCroft True, but not every PlayStation Awards falls on their 25th Anniversary

Could her joining Sony be announced at the PlayStation Awards on December 3rd?
