This is already a bit old but I didn't see people remembering and commenting.
Gematsu says that next sunday japanese youtubers will post first hand impressions and gameplay with the PS5 that Sony arranged to them during the Youtube Gaming Week.
The List:

• Akagami no Tomo no Game Jikkyou Channel!!
• Anija Otoja
• Chachacha
• Gucci no Heya (Miracle Gucchi)
• HikakinGames
• Kai Mayuzumi (Nijisanji)
• Lulu Suzuhara (Nijisanji)
• Natsuki Hanae
• Pocky
• SANNINSHOW
• SeikinTV
• Ushizawa

What do you think we'll see?
First a very controlled and limited hands-on or Sony really game those people a real unit to test like Microsoft did? My bet in on a very limited experience, showing just more of the games we already know and nothing about the actual experience of using the video game.

Japanese YouTube creators go hands-on with PS5 for ‘Try! PS5 on YouTube Gaming Week’ starting October 4

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia will participate in YouTube Gaming Week Japan with “Try! PlayStation 5 on YouTube Gaming Week,” a series of videos by popular YouTube creators …

Spoiler: smoke and mirros

And by the way, no you morons, the video game exists and I never questioned that, how illiterate can you people be?

Is the Playstation 5 just smoke and mirrors?

Something is not right with this new launch. How the heck are we less than 2 months away from having that new video game at home but we still didn't see a real one? Why are we only seeing renders this late in the game? For half a year Sony tells us that "what you are seeing was captured from...

If Sony don't change behavior fast they're in for a surprise this generation.

 

[TeKtheSanE]

I'd say we will just see more of the same that they have shown. Maybe get a description of the controller in some users' hands, and if lucky maybe we can see what the new menu UI is going to look like.

 

[FunkMiller]

Well, if it’s first hand impressions and gameplay, I’d say we’re getting at least footage of real time gameplay of launch titles. Whether they actually allow the UI to be seen is another thing.

For all those of you who think they won’t show that much because it’s for a Japanese audience... this is a Japanese company. Check yo western priviledge, mother fucker!

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Fun times are a'comin! Get on that Hype Train!!!

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'm not watching that, but I will wait for the neogaf thread with the highlights lol. Hopefully we finally see one of this in action and turned on.

Sony PS5 marketing strategy is to have no strategy and save millions. Brilliant.

 

[gamerguywashere]

i want to see actual hardware cold booting games fast, including BC...then im sold

i missed the second half of ps4, so filling RAM in 2s like larger PS5 games would be a big seller (for me only imo sorry mods)

 

[Codes 208]

I have literally no idea who any of these people are.

 

[TeKtheSanE]

Prolly because you A) Don't speak Japanese or B) Don't watch Japanese YouTube. (Or both)

Though I will say, my favorite youtubers didn't make this list.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

I have literally no idea who any of these people are.

get acquainted then

 

[TTOOLL]

Will they show new games or old games only?

 

[bitbydeath]

Will they show new games or old games only?

I expect at least Astrobot to be demoed if anything.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Yesssss, shits kicking into gear!

That's actually not a bad strategy. Everyone and their grandmas already know that the PS5 is coming out this Christmas. And with the demand far outpacing the supplies, with Sony selling every console that reaches the retailer's shelves, there's no need to spend much on advertisement right now. Let the word-of-mouth do the work for them.

No one was allowed to touch, no one could see the OS and interface...
This was not enough.
How can people insist that this is ok? This thing willl really launch unfinished?

Whats the evidence that the console is unfinished?

 

[anaphase]

Whats the evidence that the console is unfinished?

All signs point to it. What else do you need? A signed document from Sony and a press conference?...

This is like saying the Xbox is unfinished because we havent seen a next gen game run on it yet. Do you seriously think Sony has yet to finish the PS5 despite the fact that millions of units have been manufactured and are gonna be in people's hands in 6 weeks?

 

[Concern]

Whats the evidence that the console is unfinished?

Just for fun, given your post history.

What's the evidence that it is?

Have you seen the ui? The boot up? Seen a display in a store?

Don't worry I'll wait

They haven't delayed the release of the system yet so it's probably finished.

That's my guess.

Are we back to saying the hardware is fake?

Yes.

Yes I do.

I'm in the software industry, this happens all the time. Usually launches get pushed. Sony isn't doing that to their detriment.

The fact that you're not questioning it yourself is concerning. But you go ahead, ppl make uninformed decisions all the time, be one of those.

Thats not how it works. If you are making a claim against what is accepted, you have the burden of providing the proof. Sony have not delayed the console. They have actually stated that they have manufactured and shipped many of them. So there is definitely evidence that is done (you cant ship a console without software). Once again, what is the evidence that it is unfinished?

Them not showing stuff is not proof, as there are many reasons why that are not "its not done yet"

 

[John2290]

For the love of god, it's October. Show the damn UI and system, give us the features or lack of, Let us know the plans for VR and wrap it all up in a bow like, nice and neat. They've no confidence at all so why the fuck should we have any?

PS4 got a very big day1 patch that added a lot of features. Essential features even.

it’s very possible that the PS5 system software is bare bones and also lacking lots of features, so Sony doesn’t want to show it. It’s actually the only explanation that makes sense given how we’ve seen pretty much nothing of the UI so far.

This only proves the point as you were saying that everything is done and consoles are already shipping.

Sony is definitely still working on the UI, Microsoft most likely as well. Difference is that MS seems confident in what they have, Sony isn’t.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Whats the evidence that the console is unfinished?

Things are getting suspicious when they are not even showing basic things and features that we saw on previous consoles much earlier in advance. I don’t think everything on the console like the UI is ready yet.

I obviously meant it is not abnormally unfinished. I know all consoles need a day one patch for features, but my original response was to this guy

No one was allowed to touch, no one could see the OS and interface...
This was not enough.
How can people insist that this is ok? This thing willl really launch unfinished?

who clearly was talking as if sony were gonna launch a console without an OS or something.

The XSX will need a day one patch too. Doesnt mean it is launching unfinished

And their timing of releasing info has nothing to do with confidence. People said the same when Xbox had their first games showcase, and Sony blew theirs out of the water. Its a matter of when the info will create the biggest impact in mindshare

Allow me to make a prediction. When people unbox the PS5 and hook it up to their TVs and turn it on, it will have a functioning operating system.

Let's see if I'm right about this.
