You’re Invited: A Look at the Future of Gaming on PlayStation 5

PSBlog:

Join us on Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time.

[RpgSama]

It's happening!!

https://giphy.com/gifs/exci...

A little bit more than an hour, plenty of time to see a lot of next-gen gameplay.

I wonder if they will show the console? Or maybe they will save that for a later reveal?

[Sono421]

Oh man, really hope they announce PSVR 2.0, I mean if the don't I won't be too crushed, but even thinking about next gen VR get's me excited, as well as Horizon Zero Dawn 2. I am really wondering what games they're going to announce.

I also have a prediction, two different colored PS5's at launch, simply because the controller they show here is all black, no white. Idk if i'll get the white or black console, depends how they look honestly.

[RpgSama]

I noticed the black controller too!! I wonder if that's what they plan to do, to have 2 SKU.

And I don't think we will get any news about PSVR2, it's still to early into the PS5 conversation, for God's Sake, we still don't know if they will show the actual PS5 console!

[IRetrouk]

it's not black it's just in shadow, look closer and you will see its white. I do hope they come in multiple colours though, as well as an all black and all white version.

[RpgSama]

@IRetrouk

Now that you pointed that out, you're right, it is the white controller in shadow, the one I want is the one with the PS1 inspired colors, hopefully we get a 25 years anniversary console edition in PS1 Grey.

[DazaMc]

Nope it's the white controller in the dark/shadow.

[Games1st]

I don't mind different colours, just white controller isn't for everyone.

[_SilverHawk_]

Finally we will get to see next generation games running on next generation hardware. Playstation is the future and the future is Playstation

[sushimama]

Is it just me, or do I hear the PS1 boot up sound in there, mixed with the boot up sound of the PS2 also? It's like they've mixed parts of them all together.

[darthv72]

eventually there will be other colors, but this is not a black controller. Its the white one in a shadowy lighting.

[Tony-A]

Looks like I was right about that smaller light just underneath the touchpad, I’m thinking it has to be a voice-sensitive light. Interesting!

[Critic4l_Strik3]

@RPGSama I think they have to reveal it already. If they are planning on a holiday release, that means that the production of millions of consoles has to start somewhat soon. And when that happens there can be potential leaks of what it looks like...so Sony has to reveal it themselves sooner rather than later.

[bouzebbal]

It's about to go down!!!

[silenthillstrangler]

I honestly think its the angle and lighting going for a mysterious vibe, would be great to have the option though.

[morganfell]

They have previously stated the PSVR2 was coming but that they did not wish to cloud the launch of the PS5 with that issue so I am not sure we will see anything on that front. It will be great to see titles dedicated to next gen. This is going to be so good.

This is going to be the conference where certain people screaming for Sony to show something are going to wish they hadn't.

[jznrpg]

I want a Vita 2 or whatever they want to call it but I’m not getting my hopes up.

[mandingo]

VR is trash it still isn’t ready

[akurtz]

They only mentioned games, maybe a console tear down sometime after? Cerny said there’d be one 🤷‍♂️

[VenomUK]

Cowabunga!

[darthv72]

Same day as the rumored Sega reveal. Coincidence...... ?????

[The Wood]

Stop teasing brother

[neutralgamer1992]

Darth

Very interesting indeed could we see Sony outright buy Sega(which is worth around 4-5 billion if I am not wrong)

[rlow1]

Could be a strong possibility, but I hope not. Would love Sega to stay Independent. But if Sony did buy them, then as the reporter stated, would shake up the Industry for sure.

[The_Hooligan]

Now that you mention it, it is on the same day. Nice catch brother.

[rainslacker]

Made me think of the Saturn reveal, and thinking Sony would talk about the console, then say, "and it's available today", taking most retailers off guard.

[Hakuoro]

Listen I love Sony, but no one is buying Sega. They are part of a larger company Sega Sammy Holdings which is a very profitable company, they aren't going to sell their video game arm to anyone.

[The_Sage]

Hmmm... Interesting.

[Hamzilla77]

My guess is that Sony and Sega will have a exclusive rights deal like Cracktivision has the past bunch of years.... or Sony buys Sega outright... or OR Microsoft buys Sega now that would be large..... either way I am stoked for June 4th!!!

[outsider1624]

They can show the console later no problem. I want to see them games man...games!!!!!!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Games first console later I agree. The thing with Sony's conferences, they always have a huge pay off and deliver on our expectations. Expect stunning gameplay and huge announcement's the way only Sony can deliver.

[rainslacker]

I'm cool with just games. I cant imagine how little the look of a console matters to my purchasing decision. Itd have to be pretty god awful for me not to, but even then, my entertainment center has doors to hide it

[Jin_Sakai]

Can’t wait!! It’s going to be great finally seeing PS5 exclusives in action. Also wondering if that was the startup sound for PS5?

[RpgSama]

Hopefully it is, it sounds awesome!

[darthv72]

That gave me chills.... sounds great. Man I had to listen to it a few more times as well as the SX boot up. Next gen is lit AF.

[-Foxtrot]

Is it me or does that controller look black

Or is it just the shadows?

I hope it's a black variant....PLEASE GOD

[darthv72]

just the lighting. You can tell from the closeups of the controller as it pans. There will be other colors eventually.

[jznrpg]

There will be one for sure at some point but hopefully at launch too. Though I like the white myself but I would buy both

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Are we gonna see the console tho?

[Muzikguy]

Thursday at 11am. Can't wait! Been looking forward to hearing more now for quite some time

[gamer7804]

I’d hope they’d show the console by now

[akurtz]

Hello everyone, if you look under your seat you’ll find a brown paper bag. Hyperventilate into that cuz shit is about to go down. 🤯

[Elda]

Absolutely!!

[russo121]

Internet will go down, prepare for a possible blackout 8)

[RpgSama]

I want to freeze myself up until next Thursday like Cartman waiting for the Wii!!

https://giphy.com/gifs/8O2U...

[-Foxtrot]

I want it to be next week....but on the other hand if it comes round fast then I'll be working. Shit. XD

[MajorLazer]

I crave next gen news more than food & water

[PowerPlayaaa]

Hsha preach brother. Same here. It is like food. Its all i neeeeeed damn it haha

[Master of Unlocking]

If a PS5 version of Silent Hill is shown... yeah, we're gonna need a paper bag...lol

[mandingo]

Cringe

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Next Gen Truly Begins!

[solideagle]

wait, is that official black dual sense?

[TheGrimReaper]

Nope, white in shadows

[SamTheGamer]

Gonna scream now 😯😍😍

[outsider1624]

And it begins guys...oh man. Im so excited!!!

[Relientk77]

Omg, finally! I'm so excited for next Thursday then!

The Hype Train has been at the station for so long, but now you better board it because it's leaving the station. Choo! Choo! 🚂

[RosweeSon]

Oh yes!!

[BigBosss]

Oh my gosh people its happening!

Greatness awaits.

For the players.

[IRetrouk]

Hype!!!!
I hope that's the boot up sound, ps1 vibes for sure.

[The_Sage]

I completely agree.

[SamTheGamer]

This is all about Game. Just wanna see a glimpse of the PS5 Console. Give me a time machine😍🥰

[RaidenBlack]

Okay, stay calm everybody ... stay effing Calm !
Its the invitation that you can't refuse.
I've watched the 15 seconds video thrice already ... few more rounds to go.

[PowerPlayaaa]

Ive seen that damn 16sec clip about 20 times in a row now. Im that hyped man hahahahhaja

[borneFROMblood]

dont you think the sound is a new startup for PS5 and it kinda reminds me of a PS1 startup, try to listen closely.

[Elda]

Oh yessss!! Hallelujah!!

[ocelot07]

Black controller?

[kayoss]

why you have to bring color into this?? LOL

[IRetrouk]

I thought that too, but look closer.

[RaidenBlack]

White controller with different lighting.

[darthv72]

eventually there will be but this is just the white one in shadowy lighting.

[SamTheGamer]

Can't say anything for sure now. Hope they show us a black controller and the console too.

[derek]

Yes!!!!! Can't wait!

[victorMaje]

Here we go!
Hyped for the tech, hyped for the experience, hyped for the games!

[Kurupt]

Hey..next gen starts when Sony says so!!!!

[ILostMyMind]

Amem!

[Minute Man 721]

PS3 arrogance 😁.

[Hakuoro]

They still won the generation with a year less time on the market and with out double counted RRoD consoles... so yeah...

[Atticus_finch]

Nah, just PlayStation superiority.

[Kurupt]

Well I wouldnt call it arrogance, I would call it confidence..arrogance was what MS shown at their xbox one conference and telling people if they are not happy with the xone being always online they could stick with the 360...anyway..in Sony I trust.!!

[Minute Man 721]

Sold more PS3s but less games

[RosweeSon]

Over an hour an more to show after guess they weren’t holding back after all just weren’t rushing out for the minority. Hold on to your socks.

[JCOLE13195]

Exciting times ahead. Really looking forward to this!

[TGGJustin]

This is going to be good.

[Games1st]

Ready for RIDGE RACER

[rainslacker]

I wouldnt mind a new RR. The last one kind of sucked.

[Hakuoro]

I'd take a Ridge Racer reveal especially if you could drift a giant enemy crab!

[Games1st]

“especially if you could drift a giant enemy crab!” My uncle confirmed this.

[ocelot07]

I hope the rumoured Demon's Souls Remake is true I really do.

[RpgSama]

Me too, me too, not only it's going to look and feel amazing, but I'm very excited to see what no loading times do for a Souls game, it will definitely make it more accessible to a lot of people when you can immediately go back at it.

[RpgSama]

@Felix_Argyle_Catbro

While you're predicting the future, can you tell who will win the next Superbowl?

[Hakuoro]

"who will win the next Superbowl?"

PlayStation!

[NXFather]

Next super bowl will be canceled thanks to the virus. Don't know about demon souls framerate on ps5 though. Bookmark this. Your name is easy to remember also.

[NXFather]

Don't be talking about that was not a hard prediction to make in February. Be consistent and act like it is still all good.

[SpinalRemains138]

Same here. I am dying for it.

[Hakuoro]

I'd prefer a sequel but a remake would be cool too.

[gold_drake]

4th of june, 9pm for everyone in the uk x

[AmUnRa]

And.....10pm in central Europe👍

[gold_drake]

true xD but if u know you are one hour ahead, thats a given xDD

[dRanzer]

Yessss

[TheEnigma313]

This is gonna crush what MS has done.

[RamRod88]

I hope so. Xbox hasn't even had there main event.

[Minute Man 721]

Can we stay on topic??

[AmUnRa]

The question is...can you? A few post earlyer....."PS3 arrogance"😉

[Atticus_finch]

Why are you always so bothered. Sony got you nervous.

[TheEnigma313]

This is on topic

[goldwyncq]

Playstation fanboys are more obsessed about the Xbox than anyone else.

[sushimama]

HOLY BALLS !!!

[Nyxus]

Yes! Can't wait!

[rlow1]

Finally!!! here we go!

[Mr Marvel]

Hyped!!!

[Rikimaru1977]

o hell yeah, dying to see what they have to show. i looking forward to hear the price of the PS 5

[jznrpg]

I don’t care about the price . I want to see the games first and foremost and I also want to see what the console looks like

[FlavorLav01]

My calendar is marked, I’ll be ready to spring for the Pre-order during or right after the show!!

[Limitedtimestruggle]

Hell yes it's ON!

[Redemption-64]

Shit, come on Sony why the 4th? I have a huge online event going live Thursday for work and I can currently building multiple landing pages for this event. F#$k, I need to come up with an excuse, I have to see this live

[FyBy]

Finally!!

[vw1303]

Sony decides when next gen starts!!

[TheGamez100]

It begins...

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! !!

[Majin-vegeta]

https://youtu.be/2U_OkCsexj...

[helicoptergirl]

* drools *

[Deathshadow90]

Hyped! Buying PS5 day one 🎮

[potatoseal]

Ohhh hell yeaaahhhhh

[Ashunderfire86]

Hell Yes!!!!!! PS5 hotfire🔥

[Silly gameAr]

It's time.

[laserap]

Awesome news. Hope they come out with another color for the controller.

[jznrpg]

You don’t need to hope . They will definitely have color options , they always do . Maybe not at launch though QQ

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Helllll yeaaah!

[THC CELL]

That controller offfffff

[Einhander1971]

Sony and Sega it's exciting times!!!!!!

[RamRod88]

Can't wait to watch it! Good times ahead!

[Benficaman]

And so it begins....YES

[PaleMoonDeath]

It's happening.. it's happening.. IT'S HAPPENING!!

[spambot0815]

gaming media around the globe is probably delighted that the relevant news drought is coming to an end. :-)

[Minute Man 721]

Show me God of War Chapter 2

[Atticus_finch]

I would be surprised if GOW next is shown. Doubt it.

[The_Sage]

Hey... Let the dreamers dream. Shame on you. Lol.

[Minute Man 721]

It came out 2018

[Atticus_finch]

Games are not made in 2 years special with the quality we expect from Sony. Hold realistic expectations is all.

[sampsonon]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PowerPlayaaa]

Hypeeeee overlooooad

[Tross]

I’m excited!

[silenthillstrangler]

oh good, I thought i was gonna explode if they didn't announce something soon. Here in aus I. Gonna have to tune in at 5am god dam it 😫🥱

[SamTheGamer]

Here 1:30 am 😑

[Minute Man 721]

Damn it I'm working

[FanboyPolice]

I’m so freaking horny about this

[Father__Merrin]

8pm in the UK you can count me in. this is the reveal everyone is waiting for...in fact i can already hear the grubby fingers getting ready to tap that keyboard to play it down somehow....

PPL on here are secretly very very very pissed off already....

[AmUnRa]

Then you are an hour to early.....its 9PM in the Uk and 10 PM CET😉

[MasterCornholio]

Awesome

[JEECE]

I remember after getting the PS3 at age 16 talking to my brother and saying that it would probably be the last PlayStation I would get because of how much older I would be the next time, but that even if I was still in for the next one, there's no way I'd get a PS5. Lol.

[PowerPlayaaa]

Ive e never seen a thread in N4G with 100+ comments without a negative fanboy comment. This is like the first time ever. Its all positive. Wow. I love this feeling XD hahahah

[Atticus_finch]

Honestly you have to try very hard to be negative about PS5.

[PowerPlayaaa]

Yeah I know. But theres always that stealth troll from the other side of the camp who wants to downplay everything thats made from SONY. But i actually haven't seen a single one in this big ass thread. Its awesome hahah

[The_Sage]

There is one. There is a guy that posted a couple comments earlier called Felix that is saying something about PS5 only being able to do 30 fps. He's the only one as far as I see though.

[BillyG0AT]

woo

[Homushi]

We need full BC on latest PS console. I want to be able to play my PS1/2/3/4 games on it without issues. Would be $100 more for it. It's a negligible amount compared to $1000s spent on previous gen games. Sony needs to view their games as NOT PS1,PS2, PS3, etc games, they are PLAYSTATION GAMES, and the newest PS should support the games that came before it. It is called Playstation after all. We need to push for backwards compatibility as a standard.

[ocelot07]

We really don't

[Hakuoro]

I don't need that, but I'd honestly really like it..

And I'm not going to lie I don't understand why Sony doesn't do it it'd be a huge selling point.

[sampsonon]

@GamingTomarow How has that selling point been going for MS? I mean if people want valuble resources going to old games SX is the new/old console you're looking for.

I don't get it. I used to collect games and they collected dust. I sold them to buy a pro. New New New.

[ShadowWolf712]

@GamingTomarow Well for one, the PS3 is notoriously hard to emulate. People using high-end PCs trying to make a PS3 emulator are only now having major breakthroughs, and even then that's just getting games playable. Many of those have some stark visual issues as well. The Cell was a complicated but VERY powerful little chip.

Can't really speak for the others though, but PS3 is understandable at this point.

[sampsonon]

PS IS THE FUTURE, NOT THE FLINTSTONES. U WANT YESTERDAY? BUY AN OLD CONSOLE OR BUY AN SX.

I want all their resources going into new ip's and followups to recent games.

[jznrpg]

I wouldn’t say need but I would like it as I do have a large library of older games . I have the old consoles but being able To use console and the games be in UHD would be really nice

[JEECE]

I don't think this is what you are saying exactly, but if they came out a model for the standard price (we'll say $450 for the sake of argument, though that may be optimistic), I would absolutely pay $100 more for an "enthusiast" version that included PS3 hardware so it could play those games. As others have pointed out, PS3 is notoriously hard to emulate, so I can't fault them on not having an emulator.

PS4 BC is going to work as we know (I firmly believe the "most games will work" language is just to cover themselves because if they guaranteed 100% BC, someone on the internet would find some obscure Japanese XSeed game from 2014 that stutters on PS5 BC, and they would use that as a "Sony lied" moment), and there is really no excuse for not having PS1/PS2 BC. PS2 emulators have been shown to be achievable (even on PS4, though we were limited on the games), and a toaster can run a PS1 emulator.

[criticalkare]

i just want horizon 2 announcement then i will be satisfied...

[sampsonon]

Down votes by ignorant people. Don't worry. Yes it would be kickass to see game play :)

[criticalkare]

👍no worries

[Mr_Luke]

Can't wait for that!! O_O

[StarLink]

https://www.playstationlife...

Could this leak be some of the games that will be shown next week?

[sampsonon]

I don't know. I don't look at leaks.

[SamTheGamer]

Me too. It ruins everything

[no_more_heroes]

Definitely excited for this! Wonder if they'll announce the price.

[sampsonon]

No they won't. It would be foolish. Just show off, then later announce the price with a game reveal that makes you dig in your pocket for your wallet.

[mafiahajeri]

Please a new Killzone 🙏

[sampsonon]

Make The Order Sequel as well. I need to finish the story. And yes make it longer, which shouldn't be a problem because of the PS5 tech.

Man it feels like Christmas Eve. CHILLS

[Everythingnerdy39]

💀IT HAS BEGUN ! 💀 👽🤘

[Profchaos]

Can't wait I'm over hearing from armchair developers about why X is better than y or vice versa let the results talk in Thursday.

What I really want to see and what we are likely to see is:
Games first and foremost why should I pick it up on launch day.

Backwards compatibility finally settled can we get the ps5 patch for our ps4 games like it's been hinted at and will earlier gen games see a return to BC. With horizon zero dawn getting a PC launch it would be a great reason to patch it to ps5 levels and reuse the PC's enhancements

I'd love to know but I think it's unlikely:
The final design
Psvr 2

[averagejoe26]

It's so funny how PS5 announced a show for announcements and people are more excited than the entire Xbox console reveal.

[ToxicSushi]

Finally!! Can’t wait to see some games and hopefully the console with a slide or two about the awesome looking controller.

[SonyStyled]

They coming guns blazing June 4th, pun intended

[akaFullMetal]

Awesome, glad the rumor was true, dying to see next gen games.

[Nickrobbins]

What time will this be in the UK? I'm off Thursday so I might actually get a chance to watch!

[TheTony316]

9 PM UK time and 10 PM Central European Time.

[Nickrobbins]

Thank you 😊

[StormSnooper]

I want it I want it I want it

[Father__Merrin]

All gameplay will be on Ps5 and not on pc

[SamTheGamer]

LOL

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Hope it doesn't underwhelm

[Yobo5]

My prediction.

Rubber Feet from bottom of console reveal exclusive.

and in July..... The exhaust!

[airshiraz]

wowwww im so excited.its a happy week of my life .i think im gonna watch those ps5 games trailers 100 times at least

[cabbitwithscissors]

I'm ready!!!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

::checks calendar::

Dammit.. It's not June 4the yet.. Back to bed until then 😁

[Hamzilla77]

As Rainslacker posted below here... imagine they release it 6 months early to catch everyone and their mother off guard kinda like 25 years ago when SEGA did that with the Saturn!!!! and funny SEGA has big news also on the 4th.... counting down the days!!!

[ShadowWolf712]

What Sega did with the Saturn is what lead to their collapse as a console maker.

[Hamzilla77]

Not entirely they did have some good time with the Dreamcast but PS2 was just too much to handle for them (and the others at that time too) another guess I have is maybe Sega is making a mini Dreamcast or something....

[mynameisthumper]

I don't think my heart can take all this excitement o.o also I agree with some other peeps in here, please let that be an all black DS controller!

[UltimateRacer]

And so it begins, Sony bring it.

[QuePasa87]

Of course this is happening when I'm no longer working from home :(

[NXFather]

You'll get another break in like 3 months or so.
