PS5 Pro devkits arrive at third-party studios, Sony expects Pro specs to leak

Here's an idea, stop releasing mid generation upgrades and just make the best console you can.
This "ps5 pro" could easily have been made 3 years ago, and everyone who bought a ps5 is effectively left with an inferior product that has barely been utilised to the fullest.
I don't know, I'm all for choice I suppose, but there's just something about this whole mid gen upgrade business model that now seems ubiquitous that rubs me the wrong way.
Does anyone really think we won't see a ps6 pro?
I wonder what Microsoft will do?
Will we see a Series X 2.0 or something?
Don't remember hearing any rumours, unlike the Sony ones which have been around for ages.

TIL the PS5 turned into the Series S.
Must be magic.
Like some said, the PS4 Pro already happened. It didnt cause issues.

Give us all the juicy details, and lets hear about the games that will benefit from this beast!

"the worst piece of hardware" would be the base ps4 but a system that millions of gamers already own over new hardware that offers almost nothing exclusive.....yes
a (crappy) remake of a PS3 game from two gens ago and two games I think are pretty bad? I wish they never happened
Everyone doesn't care about 60fps or instant loading when they already own a console that can play the game
YES!!! I agree it really wasn't
and the same logic you are applying to PS4 is the exact thing I'm saying about PS5 and is why I sold my PS4.....PS4 wasn't needed all the games starting going to PC just like PS5 isn't actualy needed because outside of cross-gen the output is weak af

GOW wasn't 60fps on the Pro, it was unlocked 30fps
. Shadow of the Colossus looked like crap in performance mode. Infamous I had finished when it launched so didn't feel the need to play through it again just for the FPS. Don't care about TLOU, Nier was better but still struggled and I never played Nioh. I only had a 1080p TV then so a small resolution boost above 1080p didn't really matter much, it did help with my PSVR though. I just hope the PS5 Pro brings a lot more to the table.

Wouldn’t the regular ps5 hold back the pro now?

They claim the Series X is their pro console. What would be the point?

If you think Demon's Souls remake is "crappy" and that Astrobot and Returnal are "pretty bad", i have nothing else to say.
Not really considering these Pro consoles are basically for framerates and resolution increases. They aren't a generation a part like the PS4 to PS5 consoles.

Yeah why not buy it? Also I think if people put a few bucks a week into their banks they'll easily be ready to pre-order this with no issue by the time is out. Hurts less that way.

If the Ps5 Pro is 1k then...
You're hypothesis makes no sense. People who upgrade sell the previous one.
I really don't understand what's so hard to understand and why it always becomes a pitch for some just as dumb if not dumber alternative. How about you don't spend money on games and reach total yoga status? Go buy a new dinner table.

For me personally I might just upgrade my PC gpu.

I don't know man. Then I would tell those damn phone companies to make the best phone they can so it last 3 or 4 years instead of them releasing annually.
Same for GPUs.
Same for Cars.
Why are we getting annual options for these? At least with these mid-gen console upgrades they happen 3-4 years in. Then those that want it can get it at that point in their life. If those that don't need it, turn a blind eye? I don't get it lol.
So as long as you don't mind waiting a few years for a PS game to hit on PC without bugs, then definitely I hear you on that. I mean, imagine every game was a "Bloodborne" type situation where you hear no news about it appearing on PC. Would you consider otherwise?

Of course it will, but at least baseline for Sony first party will be a PS5 whereas Xbox is a series S.
These are just facts.

Yeah, VR is basically unsupported by them at this point as it doesn't seem like any of their internal studios are working on anything interesting. I'm not interested in their other games either at the moment. It's all a bit boring at the minute.

GOW was mostly 50fps on Pro and was much better than playing at 30fps (notably the input lag).GOW wasn't 60fps on the Pro, it was unlocked 30fps

I disagree. I just sold my PS5 for £60 less than when I bought it. In the likely event that GTA 6 comes out on consoles 12 months before PC. I'll get a PS5 pro for that, quickly play through the 1-2 other games worth checking out on PS5 that have come out in the past 2 years and then sell it again.
I was staring at my PS5 and just couldn't think of any game on there worth playing or buying. PC has it all for me now.

To really blow your mind it will be 4 years since launch once this Pro launches and I will 100% be getting at least two of them
Give me the best option to play Wolverine and GTA6 just to name a couple

No games? Jeez I've seen nothing but games that instantly go into backlog. February is looking stacked too!

According to DF.
Anytime that input mattered it was barely an improvement and with judder included. Plus it’s not a twitch online shooter so apart from maybe the Valkyrie fights it wasn’t really being hurt from input lag at 30fps.

I want everything I game on to have more power.
Got the 4090 as soon as I could, got a quest 3 as soon as it became available where I live despite already having a quest 2, got my PS5 on launch day, will get this and the next Nintendo console on launch day.
Let the haters hate, they don't need to buy anything, all of this is optional. The pre-existing and older hardware options will continue to exist.

Then you have no reason to buy this.

Yeah, I absolutely don't care seeing as my game time is super limited and I see no compelling games with innovative gameplay vs. last gen. Next one will probably be Switch 2.

Total "half glass is empty" FUD from DF who wanted to put anything PS4 Pro under a negative perspective. It was around 50fps during most fights actually and 60fps ish during many exploration moments. NXGamer noted an average of 51fps in his video. Perfectly playable and a big improvement compared to PS4 version. I platinumed the game BTW, I would know.

I legit don't get this kind of post.
There have been plenty of next gen games.
Cross-gen games are still PS5 games and they play way better on PS4.
Are you people aware you can still play many modern games with 10 year old hardware?

I'll gladly eat crow and enjoy my PS5 Pro day 1.

Tom has an excellent track record when it comes to PS hardware
He called the Dual Sense Pro controller, the Portal, the earbuds and the detachable drive PS5 long before anyone else
That removes him from the random Twitter dude crowd
