Sony:

 

[rofif]

it looks so cool.
Weird question - are devkits the only piece of kit (pc/console/hybrid maybe) for devs to work on the game?
Or do they still just make everything on pc and this is just a console with debug mode to test compiled stuff ?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Are you Phil Spencer? If not. Then no.

Looks better than the finished product to me. LOL

Look at the V.

Why are they going to hate you?

Ooooh, I get it. Going with the Scotty Kilmer (car guys know him) clickbait titles.

I was thinking more along the lines of how negative Sony has been in the past when people get the dev kits and then take them apart. Even when they are a gen old, the YT people typically say they get negative responses.

But he didn't take it apart at all. Just showed it off, lol.

 

[Impotaku]

it comes with a burrito warmer on the top, how convenient.

True. Most of the people that get these do a full deconstruction.

He supposedly will in follow videos... so he is teasing with this one.

 

[Sosokrates]

I prefer it to the retail, no stand required.
Can sony do anything legally? About this?

luckily for Sony they didn’t hire you both.

Subscribed to the channel, I wanna see how it looks inside!

Same. Looks like a damn car engine haha

I love console and devkit teardowns, so I will be watching as well.

So many of us made fun of the looks of the dev kit back when it was first shown. Now all things considered it looks really good comparatively.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Hearing people hate the PS5 designed made me question their taste.
Them liking the look of the dev kit answers it.

 

[rofif]

So this is NOT USING ps4 UI like many peopl said in gta 5 leaks thread.
We can see ps4 ui in gta 5 leaked videos and people say "ps5 devkit ui looks the same, so it does not mean the game is made for ps4"... well...

You mean GTA6? I know, confusing since it looks the damned same.

yes 6... lol

They both look ludicrous. The jury's out on which one is the worse of the two however.. probably the retail version.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

I wonder if Sony is going to let this guy go through with the disassembly, now that he told the world he has one and intends to show the devkit's confidential interior for everyone to see.

 

[remember_spinal]

Game developers hate him…find out why

 

[The_Mike]

Clearly stolen from the superior KFC console.

You still need a PC. The dev kit is basically just an alternate version of the console hardware with some extra debugging tools built in, which you then connect to a PC to push builds of your game onto.

 

[ParaSeoul]

This is like when Linus or Austin,can't remember who,was acting like getting PS3 dev kit was some super secret illegal thing and that was fairly recently.

 

[Valedix]

Sony ninjas on their way:

The PS5 design is definitely bold for better or worse, the former for me. The dev kit though looks like something I want to hook my car up to for analytics.

The devkit looks like some kind of twin roots blower (supercharger) lol.

 

[RoadHazard]

You people who think this looks better than a regular PS5 are absolute nutters. The devkit looks kinda cool in its own way, but damn that would look ugly in any normal living room.

IIRC from my time working on a game for the first XBOX. Art and programming is done on PC, then you upload the compiled game and art on the console and test it. I suppose often times on can run the game fully on the PC but one does a lot of work in various programs without seeing it rendered in real-time through the ingame render engine. The console is mostly used to make sure things are looking and running properly on the target hardware.

 

[RoadHazard]

Do you actually NEED a dev kit to make a PS5 game? Those people pushing out mountains of trophy trash, they have dev kits? All indie devs have dev kits?

 

[GymWolf]

Always liked that bulky son of a bitch.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The dev kit is bigger than it looks, but I thought it was a cool design too. They probably could had shrunk it down a bit too if they went with it for final production since they got all kinds of ports and lights on it which you dont need in the retail version. It even had a tiny LCD screen obviously not needed either.

Being serious, I'm sure the retail design is a lot quieter than the dev box, that sucker just looks loud, and that's why they went the other way. It's just too bad they went back to the old PS3 fat technique of make it rounded and maybe no one will notice the size. A more normal look with no stand would have been better IMO.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you guys saying the dev kit looks better then the retail console are wild.

The regular ps5 is big af, but at least they tried to make it look sleek. The dev kit looks a monstrosity! So thankful retail doesn't look anything close.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Thats okay Sony hates everyone.

 

[wvnative]

Wanted to see all the settings, why didn't he skim through them all?

 

[Iced Arcade]

they should have did a variation of this design.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I actually liked that design

Same but that was a design with 6 small fans (3 for PSU, 3 for the Board). Not possible for a commercial product.

 

[Business]

Hideous, you guys are high as hell. Gives me Atari Jaguar vibes.

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

I remember how many clickbait thumbnails were implying that this is how PS5 is going to look like.

 

[Games of Today]

GOD DANMIT! Look at that background screen at 8:15! That's how I wish my PS5's home screen looked instead of being covered with shit!
