What even is the point, though? The number of games made specifically for the PS5 can be counted on 1 hand and it’s not like those have significant performance issues that warrant even more powerful hardware.
Do any of these bigger numbers mean one would at least be able to play a game in 4k with ray tracing at higher than 30fps?
PSVR maybe
ah yes, for professionals
Only to be played for business purposes!
Can it time travel using its negative clock speed?
I don’t see no fucking disc drive here
You will own nothing and you will be happy
The current Slim PS5 also doesn’t have a disc drive, you can just buy it in a bundle and attach the optional one.
Honestly for manufacturing this makes way more sense, to ship one SKU and then make them all upgradable to disc. It’s also kind of nice that if you buy a digital one and want disc in the future you can just buy the drive.
This makes me realize, is there a limit on read speeds of disk vs. NVMe?
I’m not sure the disc drive can be saved at this point. There’s big games that didn’t even come out on disc, like BG3.
Like, how are they teasing it? Light petting? Double-entendres? Flicking its eject button?
Does it have enough games yet?
New one will be a meter tall and run on gasoline.
And look like someone sat on a. Dunkin donuts 12 pack box.
Is it going to be the size of a small fridge like the base model?
The PS5, while bigger than last entries, is hardly the size of a small fridge.
More like a floor air conditioner.
My money’s on bigger
To play PS4 games in enhanced mode!
would really love playstation to come out with a hybrid switch/steam deck design because i honestly can’t comprehend having a console that i can’t take with me and play on the go anymore.
Hopefully there will be a disk version. I’m looking to upgrade.
At first I thought, they’re releasing this news now to drown out the Concord news, but 30 year anniversary, maybe they did have this planned a little longer. 🙃

I like to play my games knowing the developers optimized it for exactly the hardware I’m playing on.
Linktank@lemmy.today 8 months ago
I like to play my games on hardware that I picked out and put together personally. Also I like that hardware to be using an OS of my choosing with as much expandable storage as I could possibly want. Also, I don’t like to give my money to companies that encourage exclusivity on their hardware.

Both major consoles literally have multiple versions with differing performance lmfao

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven’t played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

I’m with ya. When it’s gaming time, I just want it to work. Not be fiddling with settings constantly.
That being said, I do prefer RPGs and RTSs much more with a keyboard and mouse, but that’s not such a problem any more
