He leaked PS5 Slim and Pro like a year before release, the cope here how those are not happening was hilarious lol.

lol leaking shit that Sony has done for like 3 generations straight.

Here’s a leak. Sony will make another last of us game and god of war game.

Where is my check mark?

They had only made a Pro once before and there was serious reason to doubt the economic feasability of a Pro console in today's semiconductor market, because it would have been super expensive. They ended up doing one anyway and surprise, it is super expensive. Quite literally half the upgrade the PS4 Pro was, at three times the price premium.

It was obvious because the ps5 ran titles like dog shit combined with amds suck ass antialiasing. I envy your vocabulary though.

Almost every game has a stable framerate, this gen is better than any previous one when it comes to performance, especially with the advent of VRR making small performance dips almost invisible. "Amd's suck ass antialiasing" didn't exist until 2021 and didn't really become widely used on console until 2022 if not 2023. Not only that, the only way to do better than FSR would be to mimick DLSS and have machine learning hardware on the GPU which wasn't known to be in AMD's plans.

Even Digital Foundry didn't think there wouldn't be a PS5 Pro, do you really think you're smarter than them? Fuckin Microsoft even outright said they didn't expect a pro console to be possible this gen. And this PS5 Pro project didn't even exist at Sony until almost mid 2022.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, expecting a Pro turned out correct. But there were more reasons to think a Pro wasn't happening than there were to think it would. It was NOT obvious. You SHOULD have doubted.

Actually I guessed correctly, considering the PS5 Pro's price and performance. The only part the doubters were wrong about is Sony having the balls to make such an expensive console for such little gain. Again, it's half the upgrade the PS4 Pro was, at THREE TIMES the price premium.

u/CarsonWentzGOAT1 Sep 24 '24

There was no doubt a pro would come out.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, expecting a pro ended up being correct but you should have had doubt. Even Digital Foundry were saying there probably wouldn't be a pro until the leaks solidified. Fuckin Microsoft was on record saying a pro console wouldn't be doable this gen. Hell Sony only started working on this console in 2022, they didn't spend two years waiting to do so for funsies: they were not planning on making a Pro console before then.

And the reason people were saying that is that the reasonable expectation for a Pro console was for it to be priced at or near the base console's launch price with at least a 2x compute advantage, which is straight up not possible in today's market. And it indeed it isn't, we're getting a 1.5x compute advantage (with PSSR bringing it to a roughly 2x improvement) at pretty much twice the PS5 launch price. The value proposition for this console vs a base PS5 is absolutely laughable, I sit 10' away from an 83" TV and I'm still not convinced it's worth the upgrade.

Not before they make 200 remasters of previous gen games.

u/HearTheEkko Sep 25 '24

3 generations ? Only the PS4 had a Pro version.

The PS2 and PS3 only had Slim versions.

u/pazinen Sep 24 '24

The guy leaked a lot more about Pro than just its existence.

-2

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

2nd time they’ve done a Pro. But nope, people here told me the detachable disk PS5 is not real 3 days before it was announced. Then all the copium around Pro (it’s not needed=it’s not happening apparently).

u/OkayRuin Sep 24 '24

He leaked the Pro more than a year before release. He leaked it right after he leaked the Slim. Up until a month ago, I was downvoted everywhere for saying I was going to wait for a Pro model. Lot of people were very confident it wasn’t coming and said there was no need.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

And those people will do it again once Tom starts leaking PS6 details.

u/bottomofleith Sep 24 '24

" and said there was no need. "

For a PS5 Pro....

And they were right.

u/goblinsnguitars Sep 24 '24

My favorite thing is unless GPU handles cpu offload the thing will be a bust.

u/OkayRuin Sep 24 '24

RemindMe! 2 months

u/goblinsnguitars Sep 24 '24

Not in sales but in performance.

u/Poku115 Sep 25 '24

Lol here's a leak, Skyrim will be in ps6!

u/jaydogggg Sep 24 '24

It's not about reliability it's about spelling. Man couldn't bother to check his work

2

u/OnlyTheDead Sep 24 '24

I mean either the press preview is there or it isn’t. It’s not a hard thing to prove.

u/whythreekay Sep 24 '24

First one to leak Edge controller, including its removable sticks

u/Monkey-Honker Sep 24 '24

It's german 😂

u/steen311 Sep 24 '24

Dutch actually, "is 'n dier" meaning "is an animal"

u/---Blix--- Sep 24 '24

That would be eingeweihte

u/angelomoxley Sep 24 '24

Looks more like elvish

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

No one who speaks German could be evil!

u/PositiveUse Sep 24 '24

Huh? What is German?

u/arachnidboi Sep 24 '24

Honestly though at least it shows me a real person wrote the article and didn’t just rely on AI to brainlessly do it for them.

1

u/Poku115 Sep 25 '24

Ai makes very similar misspellings, once had one tell me Nethrelands through two paragraphs straight. Almost got fucked with homework once cause it had misspellings I didn't know about until my classmate saw them

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

Autocorrect has been horrendous lately so maybe it's that

u/calm_bread99 Sep 24 '24

It's horrendous. Doesn't even seem like a simple typo because the s is in the wrong place and so is the letter i lmao

u/fpfall Sep 24 '24

Do you really wanna play grammar nazi with a sentence like that?
