I know there isn’t much lighting but does that controller not look all black? Would love it if that was the case!

It would be dirty if they revealed it to be a white controller in shade, getting people's hopes up. Looks really class in all black.

Yeah, genuinely looking forward to it. I read on another forum that RE8 is strongly rumoured to be revealed in the event (by that guy who got the previous leaks mostly correct).

I was completely unaware of the drama, but apparently Tim Sweeney and Linus had a to-do online over conflicting claims about the PS5's SSD. Seems Linus was off the mark and has had to eat crow.

It wasn't so much a to do but more a few dismissive and joke comments that then randoms on the Internet piled in each way.

But ye he was at faults as they've literally done projects themselves that proved the point.

Fans were meant to be run at a constant speed so hopefully they're 80mm rather than 60 as if they were they're going to be at a seriously high speed.

If all the air is being drawn through the V rather then they should have room to stick a filter in it.

I doubt the retail system would have 6 fans, that would be nuts.

maybe it's going to hover in the air. the future has arrived.

I cannot see why you would need so much cooling for a power supply, typically they just pass the hot air off the heatsink through the power supply and that does a good enough job of keeping it from overheating. In this design they've gone to lengths to give the left and right side of the system their own dedicated cooling system and their own supply of cool air.

You could be forgiven for assuming there is something more than the power supply on the right hand side that's running hot enough to need it's own cooling, it's just not being shown. Or maybe the designer just liked symmetry :pac:

Interesting all the same. I doubt the retail system would have 6 fans, that would be nuts.

Yeah, isn't the devkit usually just a box, since it doesn't need to look like anything. The only reason I can see devkits being like this is because they want to trial the design as well

A patent reveals the layout of the devkit. One one side of the board is a large heatsink, angled. On the other side is the power supply, also angled. Each has a shroud with 3 fans, they pull air from the central "pizza slice" and exhaust it outwards and backwards.

I said it when the dev kit first leaked how strange it was that they patented it, which led me to think the retail box will will incorporate some design elements like the v -although much more refined.

This just adds to that. They’re going to a lot of effort patenting a dev kit, which I’ve never heard of happening before.

Indeed, the cancellation of the reveal is just marketing 101. No marketing team worth their salt would allow a milestone announcement take place in an environment where it won't have maximum impact. They don't care about the people who would watch the reveal no matter what, they're the chumps who will buy anything they put a PS5 sticker on.

This is how marketing works. Good publicity for their brand. They probably got lots for how they handled the protests over the weekend and decided to continue from there.

Yeah I'll admit I don't get marketing but I'm the guy who ends up with a fridge full of cuke.

Totally agree it's America's problem and half of them are on the wrong side of it. This won't change any gamers' view on the issue, though I did see a comment on Reddit along the lines of "this is all Black Lives Matter's fault". There's horrible injustice and inequality in the US and worldwide but this token gesture from game companies is just ludicrous.

I can wait for the PS reveal or Warzone updates I'm really not bothered, it's just I don't see the point of what they are doing.

Really? It's not that difficult. 2 reasons. Good marketing strategy, can jump on the back of massive support the protests in America have and also, the PS5 launch will do better in a slower news week. It makes no difference when they do it, it's just an advertisement for the PS5

Is that the reason why actually, assumed it was because of the virus.

They announced it last week. They'd hardly cancel it a week later because of the virus.

Yes, the incident was shocking and shouldn't have happened, but it shouldn't shut down the world. It's an America problem imo, and one that's well known and documented. But it's also up to America to sort it.

It isn’t shutting down the entire world, though - it’s leading to things like this PS5 launch being postponed precisely because such events are being transmitted to an audience that is, in large part, American. It’s typically the first or second biggest region for console sales; most English-language media and video-makers are based there; many developers and people who design hardware live there; many of the stores that will sell PS5s are there (some of which are likely closed at the minute!). So given how important lots of that will be for video game PR, it’s not surprising they’ve opted to hold off for a bit. It’s no question a practical thing more than a moral thing (although I’m sure some staff are genuinely concerned and upset about the unfolding situation).

I’m not a fan of corporate statements of solidarity unless they’re extremely strongly worded (look up Ben & Jerry’s - the ice-cream kids aren’t ****ing around!) or matched with meaningful action (such as Humble launching a substantial fund to help support black developers). If anything, I think we need to be distrustful of corporations hijacking such events - see, for example, people blocking up Instagram with black squares and #BlackLivesMatter while drowning out the potentially vital information about the situation on the ground for street-level protesters. This is a fight that won’t be won by filling Instagram with blank spaces for a day, or by a video games company changing an avatar for 24 hours. I can see why some people feel they need to make some public display of solidarity, even a futile one - but a breakfast cereal twitter account tweeting about police brutality isn’t getting us anywhere. Instead, it’s the story on the streets of U.S. cities that matters right now. And yes, a PS5 reveal event will be a) drowned out or b) potentially seem tone-deaf in the particular circumstance given how American audiences will be one of the key target audiences for whatever’s going to be announced. Hell, we don’t know what games were going to be revealed - you *definitely* couldn’t show The Division 3 or Rainbow Six Siege 2 in the current circumstances :pac:

We’re an Irish audience, and life is ticking over here as it was (albeit in the context of the pandemic) despite events in the U.S. A PS5 event trailer reel being delayed for a little bit is very, very minor in the context of international unrest. Because, above all else, the event wasn’t just aimed at an Irish audience - it was also aimed at an audience that has far bigger concerns right now.

Continue as normal. Everything is jumping on board this again. There's no need for it. Yes, the incident was shocking and shouldn't have happened, but it shouldn't shut down the world. It's an America problem imo, and one that's well known and documented. But it's also up to America to sort it. More people get killed in Brazil by cops per capita, but no one stops what they're doing for that. All these protests are for America, a country which everyone but most Americans know is an actual backwards shytehole in a lot of places.

To me, it's bandwagoning and nothing more. Add into the dopes going to mass protests in the middle of a fcuking pandemic! I'm not against the movement, it is needed, I just don't believe the alleged sincerity, the faux empathy, it's the cool thing now to change your profile picture to just black.

It's simply a case of; there's a time and a place. Someone announcing they have cancer isn't the time to jump into the conversation and talk about how you just got a pay rise.

There is a significant historical civil rights event happening right now in America, and that does ripple out worldwide given the scale of protests and marches in other countries, even in the midst of an on-going pandemic. Yes, I have no doubt many individuals, companies, entities etc are doing things like this to give themselves the warm fuzzy feeling inside and not really care about whether or not any change actually happens or being part of that change, but regardless, now isn't the time for a company like Sony to say "And I don't know if you noticed, but the controller is both white.... and black...."

Edit: In hindsight, I won't get into this. Hopefully things just get back to normal soon, for everyone's sake.

Absoutely but no. We have to be virtue signalled by Playstation and Xbox. Playstation in particular.
We have to listen to more important voices apparently. No PS5 reveal until then.

At this late in the game the only people heading to China would be operational line to ensure QA. The design of the next-gen consoles have been locked down now for close to a year if not longer.
