We’ll see tomorrow I hope

 

[dolabla]

Hope it's true. While still a good system, PS4 is no doubt overall the least exciting gen for me.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I only trust Hellpoint Dev

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Controversial Opinion: Games are exciting. Not hardware.

I'm not going to jizz over 100 teraflops unless there's something worth playing on it that I can't get elsewhere.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

They got something innovative under wraps, the PS Boss hinted the same thing.

 

[10000]

Xbox, go home

 

[Dory16]

That logo is the most exciting thing since the first Tesla car, I agree.
Interesting spin. If it was the most powerful hardware guess what "technical minded sources" would be touting right at this hour.. ?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

A fresh wave of platitudes.

Just show us and let us decide. In my opinion, the raw hardware power will matter least this gen and the feature-set will matter most.

 

[Shin]

A word from a person/person's from a person from a website running off the former is not news.
He might be an industry person but that's a lot of via via and then it comes down to a Tweet.

 

[cireza]

One told me that even the 2DS was more exciting.

There is always someone to tell you what you want to hear.

 

[TLZ]

Give me those amazing nextgen features and PS1 to PS4 complete physical BC!

 

[UltimaKilo]

Hyperbole at its finest. PS2 was pretty damn big.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Hyperbole at its finest. PS2 was pretty damn big.

 

[Hobbygaming]

The most exciting hardware since the PS2 sounds damn good

 

[Ar¢tos]

Most exciting?
It's just more of the same, but more powerful. Nothing wrong with that, but it's hardly exciting.
CELL 2.0 would be exciting (not good probably, but exciting).

 

[Grinchy]

It has 9.2TF of AMD parts + 10.8TF of proprietary parts to make a 75TF machine.

 

[Shizumapower]

Hype! Yes, bring on the (e)nos!

 

[darkinstinct]

Most exciting sounds like it won't be the most powerful. Sounds like it's got some never before seen features (haptics might be part of it).

 

[jorgejjvr]

Xbox, go home

nah its better with them around

 

[Manwithoutfear]

nah its better with them around

competition is healthy and it will only drive better products, competitive prices and innovation. unless of course it's big telecom then they just fuck everyone.

 

[DESTROYA]

Shut up Jason!

 

[reconminicon]

I am quite excited to hear what's going to be said. Probably more than any other PlayStation announcement.

You mean the one that just got cancelled?

Well said. I still remember the hype around the Dreamcast and Sega Saturn. Those consoles blew the competition away in terms of hardware, but they lacked games/all the good games weren't getting localized.

 

[ResilientBanana]

I'm hoping to see the console and the specs. I have doubt that we will see much in terms of gameplay, but that would be a nice surprise. Maybe a couple teasers. If they do show some games, it would be nice if Microsoft retaliated with some previews of their own. Honestly, I'd love them to dual their banjo's till fall.

 

[Arkam]

20 years....so since the Dreamcast? Bold statement.

 

[Real_Agent_K]

They got something innovative under wraps, the PS Boss hinted the same thing.

Would you look at that, the guy who runs the division for the new product they are about to reveal is hyping up his product with "innovative" PR speak!? Jesus christ, this is unprecendented stuff i'm seeing here.

“Technical-minded folk”? Given Jason’s demonstrable lack of technical understanding contained within his book, his opinion of other people’s opinions based on his opinion of their technical capabilities, doesn’t add up to much in my book. It’s a nothing statement.

 

[Mista]

I hope this isn't just another marketing hype bollocks. Will wait for tomorrow and see the whole thing. Excited for sure

 

[reconminicon]

You mean the one that just got cancelled?

Where did you hear this?

 

[Fbh]

I expect random devs in front of a black background going "This changes everything" and "Now the only limit is my imagination" while describing some gimmicky tech buzzword that does, in fact, not change everything.

 

[MMaRsu]

[Rat Rage]

I kind of doubt it, but we shall see tomorrow....

[*Nightwing]

Yeah sure Jason, micropenisis on guys that try really hard are also very interesting and I'm sure is a great topic of conversation for those in the sex industry. It sure as fuck don't mean straight women all rush and will put thier metaphorical and physical money down for micropenises instead of that sweet sweet big dick loving. No spin detected here at all, no sir. Just straight facts devoid of both hyperbole and the authors opinion, just the staright facts kotaku is known for. (See how i can make shit up too?) ... and i say this all as a sony fanboy, truth is more important than my personal joy in Sony winning a fictional console war

 

[Tomeru]

Wtf are you talking about?

 

[Vanethyr]

Wtf are you talking about?

I was referring to a thread he jokingly made earlier about the announcement being cancelled.

 

[EverydayBeast]

PS5 is cause for celebration

 

[Gargus]

There is a reason why people still play sega genesis and nes games. Hardware does not make a good game, a good game makes a game good. That's why the ps4 has done so well because it had good games, also why xbox one x didn't do so well because despite being more powerful it didn't have many good games.

Optical Computing . Volume Rendering , Foveated Rendering

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

That sounds like ultra level harcore sex to me. Uumm yeah! Give me some.

VR built-in.
The controller is already announced to have much greater feedback to trick your brain into thinking you can feel the pull of a bow string for example.

How would that work?, you put the console on your head?

 

[kiphalfton]

You guys are always talking about hating kotaku and their journalist... and yet I see several posts from them on the first page alone.

 

[bitbydeath]

Headset will become a cheap add-on as most of the kit is included in the console.

Every game might even be VR enabled by default so devs have near 0 work to do.

 

[Aidah]

Alright, interesting. Much faster hardware is obviously great, but a bit of innovation to go along with that on the feature front would be great, especially if it's a significant differentiator.

 

[ethomaz]

I believe more in Jason than some posters here lol
