V has come to (PS5 dev kit design?)

I uhhhh...meant to say...like a prodigously talented 12 year old
Unless that V has a purpose as some sort of fancy dock, I'd rather my console not look like an edgy toilet seat.
Sony has been king of subdued but unique console designs since the ps3, and I hope they stick to that philosophy for the PS5

I admit, the "world engine" thing makes me laugh lol I want it to be the official prototype name now
I have no idea about tech and shit but from what is rumoured about the PS5, is it likely that at the moment the internals for the PS5 are just running really fucking hot? Because the design just looks like a series of vents, I would assume the internals are generating some serious heat and for now Sony just want a dev kit that won't catch on fire.
If the consumer version has a shit load of vents so that it's quiet fine by me. It can look like a shit but if it's quiet I don't care.
Capcom's MHW team named their new engine from a upgraded MT Framework, World Engine.
The seat is already taken.
Well this one does apparently, since a dev confirmed it.
The box is always designed last. They have to account for the chipset and more importantly TDP. So this ain't it.
It can look like a dildo for all I care, I just want it to be quieter than my godforsaken PS4 Pro.
True, but I wouldn't expect to see a kit with a slot for a disc like that. That's usually something that's shot over via ethernet
Not sure little Timmy can bring home a dildo that plays games, for Christmas.... >.>
It's the development kit, not the console. Dev kits usually share no resemblence to the consumer console.
If I had to take a guess I'd imagine it's a custom board with a Ryzen 3700 and a 5700 series card soldered onto a custom board. It has one large heatsink with 3 heat pipes going into each side with one (or 2) axial fan(s) exhausting out the bottom on either side.
I doubt AMD has the final SoC design and generally dev kits are stronger than base hardware iirc with far more memory.
I'm probably wrong but it's fun to think about. I just hope to god Sony goes in a route similar to Xbox One S or X for build quality and cooling. Those systems are far easier to clean and service while looking outstanding at the same time.

The OG Xbox has collapsed under its own mass into a neutron star.
If third party devs already have these, I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen an actual photo yet.
This console cycle is some serious deja vu. I remember similar comments being made about the fugly PS4 dev kit and some people wanting it to be the final design while others shat on it as if that's what the final system would look like. Here we go again. As if Sony would even entertain the idea of abandoning their design language to release what appears to be the disfigured offspring of a View Master and a projector.
Also, I'm guessing it has that weird V vent so it can be stackable (notice the slots on top and the same size feet on the bottom, just like the PS4 dev kit) while still allowing for a lot of airflow in the front.
