PlayStation has been pretty tight-lipped about its next-gen console, with only its controller, logo and some spec details unveiled. However, we will finally learn (a bit) more about the PS5.

Jim Ryan, the President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced via a PlayStation Blog post today that a digital showcase about the games launching on the console will air next week. The event which will run for "a bit more than an hour" to introduce "the next generation of games" from various game studios.

While it was not clarified if we'll finally get our first look at the console itself or get more information about its pricing, Jim Ryan assured that this event is part of a series of PS5 updates and that after next week, they will have more to share.

The online PS5 event is planned for next Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time which will stream on Twitch and YouTube.

The one distraction we could have had during these times and it's been delayed? Boy that sure is something

 

[Goku1992A]

I still dont understand why Sony and Microsoft dont delay everything until June 2021 .... most people (not me) already burned their stimulus money on more important needs 40 million people are unemployed and we have shit ton of riots... Covid-19

Doesn't make sense logically to release this year

 

[shaunj66]

For those unaware a George Floyd memoriam service is being held on June 4th.

I think they made the right decision.

 

[GenNaz]

Good call.

 

[KingVamp]

That's disappointing.

 

[Quarions]

Sony are scared of The Big Master SEGA!

They probably want to talk about the controller.
in the UE5 trailer they casually drop that the ps5 controller can convey sensations to the player ( can't remember the exact words ), more than just the rumble.

It's likely that the white area of the controller is one of those surfaces like they have in tablets and phones for blind people that deforms according to what's onscreen etc
idk what it's called
So the player can feel the surfaces the character is touching in the game and all that.
With how much of a big deal they're making with the controller I feel like it makes sense.

If they market it right it can generate a lot of positive press, nintendo changed the rumble a bit and it turned a lot of heads, imagine what this could do.
But it's Sony... Probably they'll find a way to make it look boring, they always go the extra mile to look "mature" and avoid being compared to Nintendo...
( I wish they would let the PlayStation have fun colorful games again like on the ps1)

Playstation Wants to show us games? WHAT DOES THE CONSOLE LOOK LIKE!?

 

[GenNaz]

IKR

His record doesn't excuse the knee in the neck. He wasn't acting aggressive or resisting arrest.

 

[Bedel]

Yeah I also agree about it. It's not the moment nor the day.

 

[Quarions]

His record doesn't excuse the knee in the neck. He wasn't acting aggressive or resisting arrest.

Both were POS.

Only the people who are ready to be killed can kill.

he did an agressive robbery with a deadly weapon. It’s pretty much saying all.

 

[The Frenchman]

That all black controller looks really nice!

except it's not black at all... It's the same white controller we've seen look at the video version of this tease, if it was black the logos in the buttons wouldn't appear darker than the buttons itself.

 

[64bitmodels]

awh. oh well, i can always wait

 

[Fugelmir]

His record doesn't excuse the knee in the neck. He wasn't acting aggressive or resisting arrest.

"...then he ordered him to step out. Floyd then “actively resisted being handcuffed,” the statement reads."

I'm not saying the officer was right, but there are conflicting reports on how aggressive he was during his interaction with the police.

i'd agree but in sony's defense, most of the people that played a ps1 back then are pretty grown up now and would want more mature stories and gameplay

 

[ByteBite]

Sure didn't take long for this comments thread to go in that direction.
