The "ps5 pro doesn't exist" crowd are in shambles.

What if it's the PS5 Ultra X

 

[SeraphJan]

I'm more interested on the price

 

[fran.fernandez]

Dev Ket Specs .

 

[KungFucius]

Still think it is fucking stupid. But I just saw a post of some asshole who was happy he "upgraded" to a slim so I know there is a market for this. I just question how big it is and why they would incur extra dev costs for every fucking game to make them work on 2 sets of specs.

 

[Robb]

Sweet, looking forward to it. Can’t say I care much for the specs specifically, but more is always better I guess. I’m just hoping for a decent redesign.

 

[Majormaxxx]

I'm more interested in how ginormous it is

I guess for some people internet/karma points are a big deal

 

[buenoblue]

It's happening. Said I wouldn't buy it but I probably will

Was he really the asshole?

 

[Badlucktroll]

I hope the pro isn’t digital only like that xbox series x cylinder tower thing is rumored to be

Like they already do with Series S?

699

 

[Majormaxxx]

Price was leaked as well. It will be about tree fiddy.

Why is it stupid to provide options to those who want a better expereince? Sony wants to keep people who can afford PC in their ecosystem. Devs know its far easier to scale up than down (Series S).

Like they already do with Series S?

Right?

 

[Bernoulli]

699

If the production cost drops I see them lowering the standard to 399 and the pro at 599
Or 499 and 599

Digital foundry are about to go all in on promoting PC soon.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Team £599.99.

Maybe those GTA 6 visuals will be achievable now.

They are already achievable.Outside of like 10 total games everything has been fucking cross gen.Demon's Souls Remake shows what the devs could do if they were to focus on next gen alone which is telling that 3 years later It's still top 3 best looking games on the PS5.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

If 60% perf increase is true would that put it right between a 4070 and a 4070 Ti?

You have devs sweating with Series S on the market.
I'm sure they will be okay to upgrading their games for a PS5 Pro instead of downgrading for a Series S lmao.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Are we gonna make a new thread everytime there a new rumor of this or everytime someone make a news story bout it

 

[Dcr1d3r]

Are you serious?

You know a PS4 Pro released?

The ex-Rockstar dev already confirmed they prioritise PlayStation development, and they probably do have a Pro devkit, but we don’t know how long they’ve had it. What was shown was definitely either from the PS5 or PS5 Pro, no doubt there.

 

[GHG]

He has no issue when there's a potato tier console stinking up the generation but decides it's a problem now that Sony want to give developers additional freedom and breathing room with more power.

I wonder why.

[Kilau]

PS4 Pro was such a waste of time except for some PSVR help, plus my ears are still ringing(literally) from the fan noise. PS5 Pro needs to be other worldly to get my attention.

 

[Dr.D00p]

I'd pay real money to see Mark Cerney get up on stage when it's revealed and say 'I'd now like to show you just how shit all your base PS5s are, in comparison to my new baby....cool,right'

 

[Giallo Corsa]

See Kil, I'll never understand this, I mean, I played many games at 60fps on the Pro compared to the base 30fps versions that it was worth the price of admission for that alone.

GOW, Shadow of the colossus, Infamous second son and its DLC, TLOU, Nier automata, Nioh performance mode etc etc...

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I still think it's a dumb decision to spend PC prices on hardware over the course of a gen for console-priced software, but how people want to blow their money is not my concern.

Team $750+

 

[Famipan]

I’m more interested in another APU die shrink on the PS5 Slim. My release PS5’s PSU’s coil whine getting incrementally louder on heavy load/high electricity consumption, makes me only want to play PS4 games on it. Give me a cool and quiet little piece please!

 

[ShirAhava]

PS4 Pro was needed. PS5 was a bigger waste of time considering almost everything was still PS4 games 'cross-gen'

Probably the same reason why people insist that one company's weaker console holds back their more powerful console yet suddenly believe that another company's weaker console won't hold back their more powerful console.

I wonder why.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Based on the Pro consoles from last gen I am just not super interested in them this time around. Better to wait for a full next gen console and just enjoy the one you have and get your mileage out of it thru 2027 or whenever.

You didn’t make sense beginning to end, PC prices? 750$? What?

Reminds me of Infamous Second Son. Game was a launch game and remains one of the best looking games of the PS4 gen.

Not everyone wants a PC though. PC has its own flaws that some don’t want to deal with.

 

[RoboFu]

The pro consoles will be interesting this go around. Last gen the main theme was going from 1080p to 4K. This time it will be much less obvious upgrades.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Tend to agree, Last gen, mid gen, current gen just meant that there never really felt like there was a jump.

Might be worth waiting for next gen's refresh to A) get access to games your hardware won't support and B) to get the experience of something new and exciting happening!

What are you even talking about?

The pro consoles have always been underutilised due to the fact that the base consoles exist, that's the entire argument against their existence.

That's why you typically only get a resolution/FPS boost in games when upgrading to a pro console, little else.

Return to base and try again.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Worst thing it could be is pro console = 60fps. Launch console: 30fps. It'd be like a gun to my head.

Yeah I didn’t think about that.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

PS4 Pro was needed. PS5 was a bigger waste of time considering almost everything was still PS4 games 'cross-gen'

So it's better to play crossgen games on the worst piece of hardware...gotcha.

And stuff like Demon's Souls, Astrobot, Returnal, etc never happened. Plus...games like Gran Turismo 7 with almost instant loadings instead of waiting 40 seconds for each race to start on a PS4, playing Ghost of Tsushima at 60fps, Horizon had a huge upgrade on PS5, etc...

In this case, PS4 was not needed considering it started with less games than the PS5 and its exclusive games output was non-existant until Bloodborne...and then another year until Uncharted 4. Maybe it should've been released in 2006 only. /s

 

[Torrent of Pork]

You didn’t make sense beginning to end, PC prices? 750$? What?

I meant buying the base console, and then buying the upgrade in a few years. If the PS5 Pro is $750 as I think it will be, you're looking at a minimum of $1150 spent on hardware for a whole gen, getting close to what a person with a decent gaming PC spends on upgrades over the course of 7ish years. All without the benefits of open store platforms driving prices down.

I'll admit I kind of butchered my original post. Tl;dr, PC prices for console limitations.

 

[GHG]

That's most likely what it will end up being, especially in the case of games designed around 30fps caps.
