The PS5 reveal event is just around the corner if we’re to believe the latest murmurs, and according to Kinda Funny Games’ Alanah Pearce, Sony bigwigs are wanting to keep the event as professional as possible.
PS5 Event To Be As Professional As Possible
Pearce stated that Sony had previously planned numerous presentations for earlier in the year, but abandoned those plans as they apparently didn’t meet the standards set by Sony bosses.
Sony has tried to do presentations already this year, and I know this from developers who were supposed to be part of those presentations, but didn’t because for some reason, somewhere in the Sony hierarchy they were very obsessed with the idea of having a very, very professional stream, rather than something previously recorded.
So they weren’t willing to do anything outside of a massive studio with a crew of like, 25 to 30 people. Which, for those devs who were planning to have their games revealed at those certain streams, was very frustrating. PlayStation just wasn’t having the at-home-quality stuff — they were refusing to do it. So I feel like maybe this is actually going to be huge.
Reportedly, Sony wants to emphasise games running on real hardware for the PS5 reveal, which is good news for us, as it means we’ll get a proper look at how titles will actually perform on the new console.
