Well, the PS5 has finally arrived. After years of anticipation, Sony Interactive Entertainment has just unveiled its brand new PlayStation console and gamers are raging.
We spoke about this on today’s episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…
Given the timing of the release, we’re assuming this console will be dropping in time for the holiday season, but the price is what has us all clueless.
In a live-streamed video, Sony took us through all the juicy PS5 details including its sleek design and its gaming lineup. In addition to free Grand Theft Auto, the new lineup will include Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales, among many others.
But more than the games and more than the free GTA, fans are discussing the look of the new console. And boy, does Twitter have some thoughts…
Some people thought the PS5 looked like a Wi-Fi router…
Some people thought the PS5 looked like it was from the Lord of The Rings…
Some people thought the PS5 looked like a hotel…
Some people thought the PS5 looked like a portable fan…
Some people thought the PS5 looked like an electronic razor…
Some people loved the look of the PS5 and dragged the X-Box unveiling in the process…
The new two-tone colour combination marks a shift from previous versions of the console, and in a way, merges them in all in a futuristic way. The PS5 will be available in a standard model as well as a digital model, that exists without a disc drive. So, if you were thinking about the latter, you better have a reliable Internet connection.
Jim Ryan, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment said, “With PlayStation 5, we are making a significant leap to deliver a truly new generation of transformative play experiences that will redefine expectations for what games can be… Worlds will be richer and more beautiful, they’ll captivate your senses in ways you didn’t think possible, and you’ll be able to experience them much more seamlessly, with lightning-fast loading. Today’s showcase is just a glimpse of what’s to come in the next generation, and we want to thank our community for taking this journey to PS5’s launch with us.”
