PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation (9/10/2024)
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Get ready for tons of FUD articles, it will be worse than usual.
Why do some people think that they will announce the price tomorrow and that it will be available for pre-order right away?
PS5 was revealed by Cerny at the time, games were shown later and the price and launch date were only announced months later. PSVR2 was revealed in a similar way, first the specs, then some people could test the device with Horizon, then Sony announced the price and launch date months later. In my opinion they will obviously present the technology and the differences between the PS5 and the Pro at the technical presentation. Specs will also certainly be available via blog post and initial announcements as to which games the Pro supports and will be patched.
We will still see games that run on the Pro by the end of the month. Some will only be as trailers on the Playstation channel, then at the SoP and definitely at the TGS. I am also expecting Death Stranding 2 previews, which could be played on the Pro, in the next few days. I don't expect the price until marketing has started. If Sony announces the price straight away, many people who think the price is too high will not even look at what the Pro can do.

Same amount of memory, probably same I/O architecture (maybe they'll go from 12-channel controller to a cheaper off-the-shelf 8ch one), same CPU.
He's really only going to talk about the wider GPU with improved raytracing performance and PSSR. The 9-minute talk is probably going to be followed by game trailers that show the new capabilities.
Get those Cerny reactions going... Definitely not enough yet.
The day the PS4 pro was revealed back on September 7th, 2016, Super Mario Run was also revealed during a surprise visit of Miyamoto at the apple event on the same day: https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/07/super-mario-run-coming-to-ios
Will Nintendo reveal anything tomorrow as well? Another Mario & Luigi Trailer featuring "PRO" Brother move abilities?

They need a new first party game to show what the pro is capable of, SIE had trademarked Intergalactic iirc. If they leave the announcements for dorito pope's show then that would be a massive mistake. They only need to show 1 game that makes you go Aha! so this why the pro is needed
Why not just do a 40 minute show doing both?
People are gonna complain when they see a new console and no games running on it or new games
It's to set expectations, or else you get a lot of bad press because of expected expectations.

It can be any game.
