[RUMOR] image of 2 PS5 devkits and Dualshock 5 controllers leaked

I really hope so. That devkit is the ugliest piece of hardware I have ever seen by far.
Clearly it's venting heat but will the black box vent heat as well as an overpowered dev kit and quietly?
That's what makes me think the v design WILL be in the retail ps5. Hopefully they can make the final design look better, thinner with a better finish. That shape, though, imo, is atrocious.
It's Sony appeasing developers by actually giving them a devkit with some design flair and personality.
And that flair being a super charged blast processor retro console. They know their audience.
Those look identical except for sizes. If the ps5 is the ps5 dev kit, just thinner, it will be a very ugly console.
Similar aesthetics, vastly different sizes.
Am I nuts in suggesting that the devkit could be cooled without a fan? Is that even possible? If the APU is at the top of the ^ (inverted V) shape with two pipes running down the sides of the V with massive long heat sinks on each pipe.
It creates jobs for devkit cleaners. I could do that to earn some extra money.
That was essentially a PC tower with a PS2 style shell. Times have moved in since then tho and we probably don't need fancy deck it shells anymore given the PC like architecture
Similar aesthetics, vastly different sizes.
Well the PS3 and PS4 devkits looked not even remotely close to the final designs so I don't understand why the similarity of PS2 devkit and final design are proof that the PS5 will look like the devkit.
You may want to brush up on your vocabulary. "Identical" does not mean what you think it means. And even in the worst case scenario, the couple of generations have shown dev kits to be of different design than retail product. So, there is no precedent for dev kits looking 1:1 with retail products at least going as far back as PS2 and Xbox.
I hope folks don't panic or concern troll.
The previous reports said that the shape of the devkit was so that they could easily be stacked with many units on top of each other without compromising cooling, for multiplayer testing. There would be no need for such a cooling solution for the final console.
They are already stacking a monitor on top and so I think they're going for both ventilation and strength test concurrently.
True. Nothing tops that.
The initial specs (which never came close in the final hardware) were mind blowing.
* 1+ trillion total operations per second
* 140.1 GFLOPs
Damn, what Xbox is this supposed to be?
It's pretty unlikely that the retail PS5 will bear much if any similarity to the devkits, IMO. Since the PS2, I don't think any early console prototype from Sony has looked like the final retail product.
No, it's true. The PS2 and XBox 360 are two that jump to mind as looking like the retail products. I am sure there are other examples.
You mean touchpad? The lightbar is gone.
I really like that will keep the touchpad, it's a shame it was so little used on PS4
OP
OP
read the OP again, you are looking at the reference PS4 devkit image. the DS5 has no lightbar supposedly.
I know it's likely a very early prototype but where are the symbols. Why are the buttons all blank?
The early dev kits never look anything like the console.
Xbox 360 devkits were modified Power Mac G5s:
Dev kits go through many changes, and eventually later dev kits will look more like the console (see X360, and Wii's rectangular NDEV vs later dev kits which look like a Wii for example).
13TF confirmed there it is folks. Cerny redeemed Kutaragi smiling right now etc etc
I don't think they are going to change the dualshock drastically and that's fine, they just need to use better materials.
It's very clear from that patent that the V is to provide extra airflow when multiple dev-kits are stacked on top of each other. That's why I find it so funny when people think/want it should be the final design. Kind of odd they weren't stacked in the leaked image, but I wish someone would do that just to demonstrate how they're supposed to be configured.
Historically when has Sony been known for dramatic changes on their controllers between generations?
