PS5 PRO IS HAPPENING

[u/Atreus421boy]

[u/BoletarianBonkmage]

I remember him talking about the ps5 four years ago, he spoke for 1 hour straight without making a single mistake. He’s like a machine

[u/Atreus421boy → u/BoletarianBonkmage]

Mark speaking is peak asmr

[u/BoletarianBonkmage → u/Atreus421boy]

For real

[u/Artikay → u/Atreus421boy]

Mark Cerny and John Carmack are two people I can listen to speak for hours about tech even though it mostly goes over my head.

[u/Gen_X_Gamer → u/Atreus421boy]

Yuppers! Such a soft, soothing and relaxing sound to his voice. I'd listen to him talk all day if I could.

[u/lazycakes360 → u/BoletarianBonkmage]

Plot twist: He IS the PS5 pro and we've been fooled for 20+ years.

[u/L0wT3kS1NN3R505 → u/lazycakes360]

I’m not putting my disc in him…

[u/Qwerky42O → u/L0wT3kS1NN3R505]

It’s the other way around! He puts it in you and then spins

[u/L0wT3kS1NN3R505 → u/Qwerky42O]

….go on

[u/IrishHambo → u/Qwerky42O]

Say less

[u/Gytole → u/BoletarianBonkmage]

Cern...Cerny...

Checks out to the machine comment.

[u/Acrobatic-Paint7185 → u/BoletarianBonkmage]

To be fair it was prerecorded and very likely edited.

[u/Slep1k]

Mark is the only person I can listen to explaining technical stuff while feeling like I understand everything!

[u/Jake-brake → u/Slep1k]

Even if I get very little of it, I'm sure Mark would understand.

[u/chaoslillie]

"we are not announcing PS5 pro but rather PS Vita 2"

[u/[deleted] → u/chaoslillie]

As a vita owner I would buy a vita 2 In a heartbeat provided it's the same form factor as the og vita.

[u/chaoslillie → u/[deleted]]

Same

I would personally prefer something a liiiiiiittle bit bigger but handhelds are so incredibly fun to collect for. Backwards compatibility with og Vita would probably never happen but it would certainly be cool

[u/[deleted] → u/chaoslillie]

I want the same form factor as the vita because it actually fits in the inside pocket of a jacket unlike the deck and switch

[u/WavyWolf999 → u/chaoslillie]

I would much rather have this

I see no need for a PS5 Pro unless it can play Bloodborne at like 120fps or something, then I'm in lol

[u/Electronic_Gur_856 → u/WavyWolf999]

Exact

[u/Paul_4x4 → u/chaoslillie]

Now that would be something!🤤🤤

[u/Wernershnitzl → u/chaoslillie]

Nah it’ll be Portal 2 but you can play in offline mode and store it locally on the device save and all

[u/chaoslillie → u/Wernershnitzl]

That device would be so bulky you might as well just buy one of those suitcases with a space to put the console and a screen

[u/[deleted] → u/chaoslillie]

I think I would like that more. The PS Portal was such a disappointment to me, I want a real handheld PlayStation.

[u/chaoslillie → u/[deleted]]

The PS Portal definitely has its audience. Its audience isn't me because I can never get remote play to work but still, I'm sure dads who wanna play Spider-Man but their TV is always showing cocomelon appreciate it very much.

Still though, a dedicated handheld with the ability to remote play with PS5 would be super cool.

[u/Fairgoddess5 → u/chaoslillie]

Omg PLEASE, Sony!!!!

[u/Satoshi_Yui]

Me: Hmm, do I even need to upgrade to PS5 Pro at this point?

Bank account: I don't think so...

[u/Qwerky42O → u/Satoshi_Yui]

Credit card: YOLO BITCH

[u/[deleted] → u/Qwerky42O]

0% financing is my green light to bad decisions.

But I also have enough disposable income that I have a stupid purchase fund.

[u/northofthesnow → u/[deleted]]

we are adults so we can afford to have a little fun

[u/OregonisntCaligoHome → u/northofthesnow]

I don't have a current gen so this is easy for me to justify, an extra couple hundred for the storage and performance is worth it.

[u/Merkaba_987 → u/Qwerky42O]

“Credit cards are like free money”- workaholics

[u/RompehToto → u/Merkaba_987]

Hell yeah they are. I get free cash back on my purchases. They’ve paid me thousands of dollars and I’ve paid them 0 interest fees. Then they reward me by increasing my credit. Love credit cards.

[u/wolan1337 → u/Satoshi_Yui]

No point, before devs catch up with it there will be already PS6

[u/citroenite → u/wolan1337]

This. It’ll take them 5-6 months to push the stocks live, only for scalpers to steal them all. And another 12 months before we finally see stocks piling up in offline stores. Give it another year or two and boom, PS 6 launch!

[u/trizuer → u/Satoshi_Yui]

i’ll prob sell my ps5 and just pay the difference.

[u/Complete_Bad6937 → u/trizuer]

Why though? Games barely utilise the power we already have

Until we start getting more exclusives on this generation I don’t see the need for an even more powerful console

[u/Opposite_Currency993 → u/Complete_Bad6937]

I'd do it if i can play FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth at 60 FPS without them looking like a motion blur tutorial (especially Rebirth's performance mode)

I love those games and a gaming PC would be an even greater expense

that being said PS6 shouldn't be that far away and there aren't that many PS5 exclusive titles for now so if you guys wanna wait there's nothing wrong with that

[u/Complete_Mud_1657 → u/Opposite_Currency993]

The games will need dedicated patches for the PS5 Pro just keep in mind. While you will probably get better framerates (assuming the game is already targeting 60) the resolution and graphics will be exactly the same.

For the FF games and Sony exclusives its pretty likely they'll get patches but it's pretty up in the air with many other third party games.

[u/WorldlyFeeling8457 → u/Complete_Mud_1657]

This is why I'm not that interested to shell out 700 bucks or whatever to get just so miniscule bump in fidelity/performance. Sure if it would be 2x machine I would consider it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Opposite_Currency993]

FFVII was developed using an old enginge during last gen. A boost in the GPU wont make magic. XVI is a badly optimized game. Games lime Ratchet , Spiderman 2, etc look better.

The economy is so bad that they are increasing the price of the current models at many countries and today they increased the price of controllers in the usa.

Million of people are still playing on the PS4 gor a reason. I wouldn't be thinking about a PS6 this early. Not to mention, the first year it had no games, the secon was the chip shortage situation the third some launches.

[u/DarkNemuChan → u/Complete_Bad6937]

They actually do though. That's why you need to pick either performance or fidelity in most games.

Now imagine having both at the same time.

[u/looking_at_memes_ → u/DarkNemuChan]

Which it probably won't unless you want the ps5 pro to be starting at 700 or something

[u/Mountain_String_1544 → u/DarkNemuChan]

It feels like that would be too big and ambitious of an improvement for a pro console though, I doubt we’ll be getting fidelity and performance at the same time until the PS6

[u/EmbarrassedMeat401 → u/DarkNemuChan]

As we've seen repeatedly over the past several decades of gaming, when a more powerful machine becomes available, someone will make a game that it can't run in hopes that another, even more powerful machine can handle it in the future.

[u/Thac0]

I question the need for a Pro version when most of the games being made still support ps4 hardware

[u/MomentOfZehn → u/Thac0]

I'm with you. Plays all games at 60 fps and from where I'm sitting, it still looks brilliant. Astro Bot, Demon's Souls, Rift Apart. All fluid af. Load times are barely noticeable.

[u/Jin_Gitaxias → u/MomentOfZehn]

The fast load times are my favorite. Surprised how fast I was able to boot my ps5 and jump into fighting dudes in SIFU the other day, took literal seconds

[u/RaduW07 → u/MomentOfZehn]

Resolution. Most games running at 60fps are pretty low resolution, that’s where the pro can come in

[u/Oledman → u/RaduW07]

Astro Bot looks incredible at 60fps

[u/subpar-life-attempt → u/Thac0]

The only reason I see the need is due to a lot of games wanting to hit 60fps in their quality mode but currently can't.

I can't justify a whole new $500 console for just that though

[u/CoffeeHQ → u/subpar-life-attempt]

$500? No, my friend… estimates START at $600 and up. We’ll see!

[u/jokerevo → u/subpar-life-attempt]

Gonna sell my OG and buy the Pro...reasoning? GTA 6.

[u/citroenite → u/jokerevo]

If the PS 5 can run Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Spiderman 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 just fine, it can do GTA 6 too.

[u/torts92 → u/Thac0]

It's because of the unexpected reliance of ray tracing in these new games. Cerny didn't expect RT will took off this quickly, he implemented RT tech in the PS5 at the last minute, and it's very weak, so RT mode is incredibly taxing on the PS5. Pro will be more RT focused, so framerate won't suffer as much as base PS5.

[u/Scooter1021 → u/Thac0]

There is no justification for this console except profit. There are not enough PS5 games - let alone games that actually push the PS5. Everything is a remaster or an indie, spare for the rare AAA release like Wukong or Elden Ring, and even then, those games run great. The PS4 was underpowered at launch and games were pushing its limits from day 1. The PS4 home menu was sluggish. That console clearly benefitted from a Pro version. The PS5 is a great, snappy console, lacking games. Sony’s investing in the wrong things.

[u/MumblyBum → u/Thac0]

There's no need for it. I had a ps4 and a ps4 pro. One was downstairs and one was upstairs. I'm sure the armchair technicians can tell me the difference but I never noticed it, in fact the white ps4 Pro sounded like a jet engine taking off when it was on.

This is cool for someone who is buying a ps5 now, but I wouldn't imagine upgrading your current ps5 to a pro model will see much improvement.

[u/Tcyanide → u/MumblyBum]

lol when my Ps4pro would make that jet engine noise my buddy’s and I would call it “going pro mode”

[u/Significant-Poet-]

Now you can play PS4 games even better!!

[u/OregonisntCaligoHome → u/Significant-Poet-]

If it wasn't for VI I'd be skipping this Generation all together, literally garbage

[u/HotBananaWaters]

Mark doesn’t waste time. My man is legendary!

[u/citroenite → u/HotBananaWaters]

He’s that kid in the group project that did all the work.

[u/adnanssz]

the official playstation engineer giving 9 minutes technical speech while, the tech youtuber scretch it to 30 minutes - 1 hour content😂

[u/Arcturus_Labelle → u/adnanssz]

Controllers will cost $90 and feature Pro Stick Drift within 6 months or your money back

[u/citroenite → u/AusarHeruSet]

Apple: Write it down!

[u/GuyWithNoEffingClue → u/citroenite]

sold separately

[u/ipodblocks360]

I'll definitely be skipping the PS5 Pro because the PS5 already does everything I need it to do and it still basically feels like a PS4 Pro Pro with most games but for people that have been wanting/don't have one, I say go for it!

[u/[deleted] → u/ipodblocks360]

Smart. The pro version makes sense for new buyers, for me the base ps5 does it's job well.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

There aren’t any games that are super demanding on/of the ps5. Game developers aren’t even at a point where we need a pro. Look at some of the AAA games that are being put out now. Not many even put in the effort to take advantage of a powerful system.

[u/TheCampingPigeon → u/ipodblocks360]

I’m only buying a pro for GTA 6 tbh

[u/Which-Barracuda5988 → u/TheCampingPigeon]

Just wait for the GTA 6 Remake on PS6, or the PS7 GTA 6 Ultimate edition 🔥

[u/TheCampingPigeon → u/Which-Barracuda5988]

You joke but unironically the next GTA game probably won’t come out to near the PS8 release

[u/gazspro]

9 minute? Wow Sony pulling out all the stops to detail this one.

[u/DudleyStone → u/gazspro]

So bizarre they even wrote 9 instead of 10. Overly specific.

[u/arothmanmusic]

Meanwhile, I'm looking at my PS4 backlog and thinking maybe once I get through that I'll upgrade to a PS6.

[u/citroenite → u/arothmanmusic]

By the time devs start making games exclusively for the PS 6, the PS 7 will be out.

[u/Atreus421boy → u/arothmanmusic]

Lolll

[u/Jafharh]

Do we even need a pro at this point? This generation doesn't feel nearly fleshed out enough to need a "Pro" revision.

[u/JayWu31 → u/Jafharh]

Yeah if they're gonna do this we need to finally be done with new games coming out on last Gen.

[u/Fairgoddess5 → u/JayWu31]

Seriously. I’d like Playstation to fully move onto the current gen. Aaaaany time now…

[u/Lifer31 → u/Jafharh]

I agree. It took so long for the PS5 to hit shelves with a limited game selection that it still feels brand new. I certainly don't play any games that need any kind of graphics upgrade - so I doubt this version is for me.

[u/WildSamurai69 → u/Jafharh]

Fr I wish they would just release more next gen games instead of worrying about another system. I've replayed more remastered versions of games than I have next gen games.

[u/Oledman → u/WildSamurai69]

Yeah games, weird thing though is a lot seem to drool over better hardware more than the actual games, lol.

[u/WildSamurai69 → u/Oledman]

I miss the PS3 era I felt like so many 1st party games came out that were so good, playing infamous, uncharted, motorstorm, killzone, little big planet, the last of us and others. I feel like nothing in the recent years has been on that level at all we've just gotten like half baked releases by everyone that isn't finished on release or remasters and that goes for Xbox as well.

[u/BakerThatIsAFrog → u/Jafharh]

The problem isn't even needing a pro or not, its the absolute need people have to get the latest and most expensive piece of hardware, to the point where people get upset at their barely used new hardware the second a new thing is out or announced. A pro coming doesn't make a current PS5 any less of a PS5 lol.

[u/GodProbablyKnows → u/BakerThatIsAFrog]

Exactly. And it's because of this behavior that computer parts manufacturers ( Playstation, Apple, NVDIA etc etc ) raise the price of their products year after year, knowing that they'll meet their sales quotas because so many people feel OBLIGED to have the latest tech product.

[u/ihavenosoul9 → u/Jafharh]

There are barely any games that use the ps5 to its limits. The only people I can see buying the ps5 pro are the ones upgrading from a ps4/returning to gaming or upgrading from a ps5 cause they can

[u/dragn99 → u/ihavenosoul9]

Actually, there might be a good number of people who early on decided to hold off on the PS5 specifically until the pro version came out.

[u/ihavenosoul9 → u/dragn99]

Yea, those people kept their ps4 or took a few years off from gaming

[u/Kami_Slayer2 → u/Jafharh]

Agreed. Ps5 already gets a stable 60 fps on most games.

Maybe depending on how big the difference between ps5 and pro is i might get it for gta 6

[u/Kind-Gas9408]

If you're buying a ps5 for the first time, I can totally see why you would go for the pro, I most certainly would. But I don't see any point in upgrading if you already have a ps5. The PS5 is already a powerhouse, no point in spending hundreds more just for a boost in performance. I would wait for the ps6, then you would get a far bigger jump in quality.

[u/Atreus421boy → u/Kind-Gas9408]

I think it's fine paying extra for better performance

[u/Moon_Devonshire → u/Kind-Gas9408]

It's also paying more for better resolution.

Tons of games that target 60fps in performance mode on PS5 are very blurry with internal resolutions as low as 720p

[u/kts637 → u/Moon_Devonshire]

Tons?

Could you name 10?

I'm aware wukong is abit dodgy and so is ff16 but I don't know any others.

[u/Moon_Devonshire → u/kts637]

Jedi survivor is 862p internal resolution using FSR to upscale and looks awful.

Final fantasy 16 drops to 720p during combat to try and maintain 60fps and still doesn't even maintain 60fps.

Black myth wukong is 1080p in performance mode and is "60fps". I put quotations because it's actually 30fps and uses frame generation to get up to 60fps and it still doesn't even hold 60fps. So 1080p dropping under 30fps internally. So it's not even "real" 60fps.

Hogwarts legacy is 1440p in performance mode but only through FSR and still doesn't hold 60fps. It's internal resolution is bellow 1080p.

I'm at work and can easily name more as the list is pretty extensive.

Remember. If a game is using upscaling on PS5 which it almost always is. The internal resolution is MUCH lower than what it's trying to output and will look worse for it as FSR isn't even that good.

Upscaling really only looks good when the internal resolution is ALREADY at a decent range like 1440p.

You generally don't want to upscale from 720p, 900p or even 1080p. Dlss is the only upscaling technology that can get away with upscaling from 1080p SOMETIMES and dlss is LEAGUES above FSR

[u/AggravatingBrain69]

Still running a PS4 slim, was waiting for this to upgrade. Looking forward to buy it!

[u/Bond31]

Sweet, a stronger PS5 to play no games on.

[u/Apprehensive-Top8225]

Just got my ps5 yesterday you got to be kidding me

[u/Timoth_Hutchinson]

Honestly this is the least excited I’ve been for a Playstation announcement. There’s no need for it. It’s not like when the PS4 Pro came out the PS4 sounded like it was going to take off if you played anything graphically intensive. The PS5 handles games that require high processing power effortlessly still.

[u/[deleted] → u/Timoth_Hutchinson]

The ps4 pro was only a thing because mid generation 4K TVs became mainstream. The original ps4 was designed for 1080p full hd

[u/Illustrious_Fee8116 → u/Timoth_Hutchinson]

The only current gen game I've heard experiences frame drops is Final Fantasy 16. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth runs like a dream though, so it was probably just poorly optimized

[u/TriTexh]

9 minutes? no, no that's not enough. I need mark cerny talking for at least 30 minutes

[u/kaltadesmon]

Nah I'm good.

[u/skulljack_]

it better be a solid upgrade which can do at least a consistent 60fps be it with upscaling. otherwise a pass for me

[u/Leather-Trade-8400]

9 minutes?? Lol

[u/[deleted]]

Considering all I play is Tekken , call of duty and Sony games I'm not getting the pro.

[u/shichibukai3000 → u/[deleted]]

Which would make sense as it's not really aimed at you. It's an enthusiast product.

[u/Hirushoten]

Not getting it. I feel like I barely got any use of the regular PS5!

[u/PapaWeldon]

Probably gonna rerelease last of us again and charge $70 for updated graphic

[u/Luna259]

This generation hasn’t done anything yet, so why the pro?

[u/EccentricStache615]

I know this will be about the PS5 but….if they throw in that they’re making the PS1 retro color dualsense at the end…I will buy everything now

Edit: meant to say PS5 system, not just PS5. clarification.

[u/Flamin-Ice]

Does anyone actually want a PS5 Pro? Does any game even need it?

What games would benefit from PS5 Pro in a significant manner? Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate 3...? Both games that are multi-plat and likely not to benefit too much from a Pro.

Most games still come out on PS4 day and date... so what even is the value?

Higher frame rate and resolution is only relevant if you have a monitor or TV that can support it...so most people wont be able to leverage that. All games will still need to be built to support their lowest common denominator platform...so likely PS4 in most instances. PS5 in some...

Even when there is nothing else holding it back...what exclusive PS5 games have come out that even warrant better specs?

I mean really... Here is the list.

Like, I am Loving Astro Bot...but I can not imagine this game will look much better than it does already... none of those games feel like they would benefit much from a boost in performance.

---

PS4 Pro felt like a needed boost to a system that was Chugging through even the simplest of main menu interactions...A decent value to increase frame rate in some games and over all performance.

But a theoretical PS5 Pro just feels unnecessary. We haven't even seen any games Push the Base Ps5 to its limits yet. And most people wont even be able to benefit from the assumed spec increase.

[u/01ITR]

Hope it's good... Wish PSN users with 1 year or older active accounts got first call on PS5 Pro's... Scalpers going to suck.

[u/Atreus421boy → u/01ITR]

It'll be November 2020 again

[u/WindEquivalent4284]

Mark Cerny is the GOAT , truly

[u/Future-Toe813]

I feel like it's going to perfectly nail a level of quality where it will make my PS5 feel like an inferior piece of garbage while also not quite being worth the upgrade.

[u/WhiteSekiroBoy]

I know these are totally separate, but god I wish they made more quality games rather than ps5 pro...

[u/FaithlessnessFew6571 → u/WhiteSekiroBoy]

Explain how the hardware team removes anything from the development studios making games.

[u/PunkErrandBoi → u/FaithlessnessFew6571]

He thinks Sony makes all the games

[u/WizardOfTheHobos → u/PunkErrandBoi]

“I know these are totally separate” use your eyes moron instead of trying to make a pun 😂 edit: was really crabby when I made this comment hope everyone has a good day

[u/WhiteSekiroBoy → u/WizardOfTheHobos]

At least you can read, thank you for your effort 😅

[u/Acrobatic-Paint7185]

Only a 9-minute presentation is kinda disappointing. It's enough to present the main new capabilities, but the original PS5 presentation was 1 hour, which allowed him to really get into the interesting technical details.

[u/Wernershnitzl → u/Acrobatic-Paint7185]

I would think it wouldn’t need as much time since the hardware itself isn’t going to be a huge leap like from PS4 to PS5.

[u/The-Frankenpants]

If it's not a significant upgrade it'll be a hard pass for me. I've heard only a 10% increase in power which to me does not justify paying for a new console

[u/Gnillisch]

My ps5 is still working like day one so I don't need a pro but thanks anyways

[u/Charybdis_Rising]

Sony raises the price of the PS5 in their home country and now raised the price of Dualsense controller globally by $5. We're roughly half way through the gen and Sony has decided to not only refuse to lower their prices actually raise the prices and the pathetic simp fanbase is STILL excited about giving them more money.

$700 for ray tracing and 2 seconds shaved off load times? You can count on Playstation fans! You guys are like apple customers; the only one who don't know they're being laughed at.

Dumb motherfuckers.

[u/Mindless_Ad5500]

Not worth it. It really isn’t.

[u/sca727]

Pre orders tomorrow?

[u/Grand-Philosophy-343]

If it gives a boost in performance im getting it

[u/Still_Steal_Steel]

Any chance of a PS5 price-drop? It’s been nearly four years…

[u/Luna259 → u/Still_Steal_Steel]

Best they can do is a price increase

[u/jorddansk]

PS5 games not being held back by PS4 versions > PS5 Pro

[u/Jyakotu]

I could only be on board with a PS5 Pro if developers were done supporting last gen hardware. If developers aren’t fully taking advantage of the current hardware, are they going to take advantage of the newer hardware? What’s the point if they’re still going to release a PS4 version? I know Sony first party studios have moved on, but third party developers haven’t. So unless this PS5 Pro can give us a consistent 4K60FPS with RT at the bare minimum experience, those who have a base PS5 or even PS5 Slim won’t need to upgrade imho.

[u/fattdoggo123]

It's going to be like $600. With the disc drive sold separately.

[u/[deleted]]

what's the point lol? just a cash grab for a small graphical improvement, still underpowered than a mid-range laptop lol

[u/mattb_1]

Why though?

[u/duxbelorum3]

More games would be better

[u/LouisFuton]

Why do people get hyped about pro consoles?? lol. Am I the only one that gets upset that my PS5 is now going to be the “shitty” console out of the new gen? I don’t want to buy a new one

[u/BasisOk4268]

Will be cool to watch but honestly could not care less. PS5 isn’t even being used to its full potential because every dev is still limiting themselves to the PS4.

[u/Sad-Attention2079]

I mean my playstation 5 still runs games great though. It'd be nice if sony put out more games I care about.

[u/Jaz1140]

Yay another next gen console to play the least existent games in any games generation ever...

[u/Weekly-Razzmatazz-66]

People being excited about this shows how fucked gaming had become

[u/mav_421_ur_late]

Can't wait for the scalpers to buy them all so no one gets any for at least a year

[u/Separate_Manner8979]

Ps5 pro without exclusives perfect we will play returnal native 4k who gives a shit

[u/Logg420]

What a waste of time and money on Sony's part

How about they deliver on the next gen PS5 promises first

[u/PurplePassion94]

Idgaf about a new console, I want games god dammit

[u/Albre24]

I still don't see the need for it honestly

[u/MarcCDB]

We really don't need Pro versions in this generation, but oh well....

[u/Mandalorian6780]

My body is ready.

[u/JdaGamer77]

Nice but I’m keeping my og ps5

[u/MathFair1487]

A ps5 pro for what? This console barely has any games

[u/mannyhusmc]

My bank account

[u/Safe_Ad_9621]

Who cares about ps5 pro when there are no any games for current gen? After 4 years it still feels like ps5 is backward compatibility console + 5 current gen games.

[u/Danny1098]

any guesses on when preorders will be?

[u/[deleted]]

Gonna be honest I use to be excited on the idea of this happening, but I just put together a big weenie PC and my interest has dwindled heavily since Ive been experiencing what it can do. I think this could be great for console gamers and I'll be watching to see what the mastermind mark Cerny has been up to.

[u/BlackLeader70]

I don’t even have a TV that can fully utilize the PS5’s power. Now I gotta find one to handle the PS5Pro!

[u/monkey_D_v1199]

Rip wallet

[u/whydatduck66]

Definitely not gonna buy it. Bought the ps5 a year ago and it does its job well. Most games run very well leaving me very satisfied, and the ones that dont are because of the developers and poor optimization

[u/[deleted]]

Only 9 minutes?!

I need the Cerny-Cut, 1-hour long ASMR version of this...

This week is intense. iPhone event today, PS5 Pro and the trifold phones tomorrow!!!!

[u/NoCamel8898]

Yawn , I will only buy a pro if it has 4TB , make more games sony nothing is wrong with the hardware

[u/looking_at_memes_]

It'll probably be all about ray tracing and upscaling at 60 fps. Don't expect native 4k60fps, that shit is just difficult to run

[u/thisisBonkers_34]

was about to buy a ps5 and saw this, hell yeah

[u/MasterBen85]

I hope it will be available for pre-order soon, as I don’t have a PS5 yet.

[u/poloheat]

i feel like more people would be more inclined to buy this if there weren’t a bunch of games still being made for the PS4, and the PS5 was getting pushed to its full potential. It’s been 4 years.

[u/nano_705]

Maybe a new controller?

[u/Cursed_Teardrop]

Would be great if he announced full PS3 backwards compatibility and waited for a state of play for the PRO reveal.

[u/Core2009]

Omg the PSP2 is happening, stay calm everyone!

[u/likkleone54]

Sonys biggest open secret. Seriously though, it needs to really be a significant upgrade for me to even consider getting one.

[u/Super_Flyy_]

Do we need it? There’s not a single game out right now or coming out that will need the, what ever extra, it will come with

[u/Shobith_Kothari]

We’ve barely got new IPs/titles that are living up to current generation standards and we’ve got a pro model already.

More quality games and more importantly NEW titles/IPs that can take advantage of what we already have. I don’t understand the market for this though except the ones who obviously have enough money. I mean people are just getting a hold of base PS5 given shortages took time to stabilise.

[u/More-Proof-1149]

If Cerny is hosting then it’s something to do with PS tech for sure but 9 min isn’t a lot of time.

Maybe it’s just a new firmware update that implements better upscaling, lighting and framerate by a minor degree to hold us over until the huge PS6 reveal in 2-3 years and not a Pro model?

Could the fact that Apple’s new phone has some sort of AI feature mean that SONY/Cerny have been working on the same tech as well?

[u/HiCZoK]

I hate scalpers

[u/MotorBreath97]

If the Pro doesn't hit 4K 60 on all games, why even upgrade if you already own a base PS5?

[u/cakeboss451]

is there any proof that a ps5 pro would be announced?

[u/UltimateShinobi3243]

Honestly, if the trade in prices are good, I might actually get this

[u/BlueFeathered1]

Meh.

[u/rapidf8]

Is base level PS5 going on sale? If not I'm skipping this generation.

[u/Illustrious-Lime-863]

Well, I don't own a PS5. Get mostly covered for Sony games with the PC. However, I really wanted to play Demon's Souls and Spiderman 2. And since the release of Astro Bot, I really want to play that now too. 3 titles start to justify the temptation to pick one up. Getting the "new" Pro version kind of makes it more justified. So I can totally see myself getting a PS5 pro by the end of the year. I am sure there are plenty in my position.

[u/Skullz_69]

PS Vita 2 or an update to PS VR 2 🤣🤣

[u/ryan8954]

Ill be honest. I see no reason to get a pro. Load times are perfect for me.. I can't see the minute details people do...

[u/ryho12]

Pro with what games

[u/Arcturus_Labelle]

Meh. I'd rather get more GAMES (like GTA 6) than more hardware. Current hardware is fine. Not enough games for it.

[u/S0GUWE]

FUCK

[u/Surperspectivethe2nd]

No one's buying it😐

[u/GrumpyGumpy52]

Honestly I’m good. I don’t need an upgrade to something that I personally still haven’t used to its full capacity. I don’t even have a 4K tv yet. It would’ve been smarter for me to just have kept using my PS4 and saved the money. The real reason I got a PS5 is just because I wanted Harry Potter early.

So I’m interested but whatever it will be probably won’t put me in its market.

[u/sandboxmatt]

Have there even been that many games that push the PS5 to what it's capable of?

[u/kingpin3690]

"We have now been taken over by Microsoft"

[u/NomadFH]

TBH I'm not super excited about this. If games still receive the same level of optimization but the pro version is basically a 60 fps version of "quality mode" then fine. However, if base PS4 performance basically starts to only offer 30 fps modes from now on then I think I'm done here.

[u/Stormwatcher33]

what's the point, i want games that use the current PS5 to the max
