While waiting for PS5 hardware full reveal: Could Sony still hold surprises up their sleeves?

[renx]

I remember Lisa Su mentioning about a different kind of "secret sauce" for each of the new nextgen consoles.
I thought that Sony's secret sauce could be the new custom IO, and the fast SSD.
But I believe that the PS5 SSD was already demoed at that time, and Lisa might have been talking about something that AMD produces for the console.
Feeling like there's something GPU related, and off course we don't really know much about RDNA 2. But what we call "secret sauce" should be something "extra".
Do you guys expect some kind of surprise?

 

[Uzupedro]

No, what we know is what we will have.

 

[MWorldII]

Sony publicly said that they have surprises on hardware side

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I don't expect much. If they had something really shocking to show off they would've talked about it already.

 

[Yerffej]

Well which is it, first two posters!?

My guess is it's also a toaster. Very handy.

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

Sony...please...I beg of you...rear buttons!

Potentially exchangeable shell is still to be announced. Modders will love this. Black will surely be one of the early options if so.

I'm guessing the ports on the back will simply be another USB type-C. No optical out.

There is no secret sauce

 

[Arex]

The only thing that can surprise me is full BC for PS1,2,3, and 4 :P

Extra gpu in the HDMI cable

I could totally see that.

 

[Cassius Bright]

Bank on it.

 

[kamineko]

i guess anything's possible, but i think the remaining news is business-side (release, price) plus news on exclusive content

 

[Deleted member 4970]

they haven't shown the back which means...

toaster oven

make totinos pizza rolls in your ps5 by playing the exclusive gta 6 at 8k

 

[entremet]

Yes, during the launch period and leading up. MS will have some too.

 

[RoboPlato]

What hardware reveal are you waiting for? We got a deep dive from the lead system architect himself. In the unlikely case any differences from what was talked about in that presentation they'll be very slight clock adjustments or maybe a step up in RAM bandwidth.

What was the PS5's interesting thing that Jason Schrier and others were talking about months ago? It was DualSense?

Shit.. I always lose HDMI cables, gonna have to live with substandard graphics.

Yup, still wondering about this. Also curious about any machine learning tech in the PS5, AI features like an assistant, and can I remove one side of the outer casing and merge 2 PS5's together to form my own PS5 Pro 😁

 

[LewieP]

They have barely gone into any detail about backward compatibility.

 

[krae_man]

Knack 3 bundled with every system!

 

[MysticGon]

Scratch and Sniff stickers come with each game. Stick them on the DualSense to make it a TreSense.
