It's time to see what surprise PlayStation has in store for the future, with its PS5 Technical Presentation broadcast. Will we see a PS5 Pro? Or will it be something unexpected? Find out now, because the 9-minute livestream is kicking off now. We'll be summarizing the event as it airs, to stay tuned.

Cerny kicks off by going back to the PlayStation 5's launch, detailing the hardware in the system, and how it was an improvement from the PlayStation 4. Graphics, sound, haptics.

Developers have been wanting more, though. Having to choose between fidelity and performance mode has been an issue. Performance mode has been 75% more popular.

He casually drops PS5 Pro's announcement.

A larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, AI-driven upscaling, and more.

This improves the framerate performance for current PS5 games, with higher quality graphics.

He claims it's double the power of PS5.

We get to see a showcase of better graphics and smoother framerates in first-party PS5 games.

Ray-tracing has seen a large upgrade. Better reflections, shadows, and background details.

​

November 7 launch, for $699.99.

Confirmed separately on the PlayStation Blog was the fact that the system will NOT be launching with a disc drive, which you'll be able to buy separately for $79.99.

Wow man, once you add in tax this thing might be nearly $800.

 

[MysticStarlight]

And you aren't paying for online with PC, whereas for PS5 it's a minimum of $80/year for the Essentials package.

Yikes... gaming has become super expensive

 

[Oliver-Hoschi]

800 euro? For real? Without a discdrive? Next ps comes without a cpu or what?
I come back if i ever can stop laughing.

 

[subcon959]

I have a pretty large library of physical PS5 games so to be able to keep playing them I would need to pay £800.

Have they lost their minds?

naaaah man, no way.
Thats just way too much, its insanity.

Have they learned nothing from the PS3?

 

[captainpringles]

It's gonna be a no from me, dog.

At least PS3 had a BD. This is even worse.

 

[MaxiBash]

So... Tell me what the PS5 Pro can that the PS5 can't?

 

[Ettino]

Ok real talk.

As someone who can easily afford this thing and bought a whole bunch of dumb expensive crap all the time. The PS5 Pro is a total rip-off, same CPU(?), just 1 controllers, disc drive not included AND you have to buy the vertical stand as extra! C'mon!

Will I buy it,.............probably.

If Nintendo has the ball. They will announce the Switch 2 (or whatever) tomorrow, with Doug Bowser slowly walks up to the stage, then says 299 (or 399) and walks off.

cant argue with that.
i foresee price-cuts.

 

[Ryab]

I already own a PC/Switch, and have no plans to buy an Xbox Series console or PS5.

Then yeah just stick to PC at that point. Only reason I even own a PS5 was because I have a decent PS4 library and my original launch PS4 was on the way out. Also the PS5 was like $350.

Definitely wouldnt expect a $300 price tag from Nintendo. They really hate selling consoles at a loss.

 

[proflayton123]

Factoring in currency exchange and differences, its a little absurd the price isn't universal, and the rest..

 

[cearp]

I'd get it if there's a kernel exploit confirmed for it on day 1 lol

 

[NotUsingAnAltAccount]

Pretty fuck you Sony. All that I have have from you is PS Vita and nothing will change ya greedy c*nts.
(｡◕‿‿◕｡)╭∩╮

 

[AndorfRequissa]

sony really screwed up big on the ps5. such a bad design they are already shitty on people who bought the ps5. a skipped the 5 and am also skipping the pro. this is probably only for sony fanboys.

 

[k7ra]

Yikes... gaming has become super expensive

except there is no gaming on the ps5

On consoles, because console user base will accept any trash in exchange for convenience.

The sole fact so many people find it normal to pay for online services on consoles is insane to me.
