PlayStation 5 Leaked Dev Kit Design Confirmed

Yesterday, a new hardware patent from Sony Interactive Entertainment for an unknown electronic device surfaced, and it appeared to be for the PlayStation 5 developer kit. At the time, it wasn't clear if it was indeed the PS5 dev kit, however, many assumed it was because it was unclear what else it could be. That said, it seems those assumptions were correct. Since the patent started to make the rounds early yesterday, a developer has chimed in claiming that is indeed the PS5 dev kit, and they know this because they have one at the office.

I honestly do not like the look of this, wont stop me from getting it day one but I really hope the one we buy does not look like this, I know it probably wont as it's a dev kit but still, just dont like it.

anonymousfan1708d ago

Yeah I honestly think it looks atrocious I don't want that in my living room

IRetrouk1708d ago (Edited 1708d ago )

While I've never been overly fussed on console design, that was my first thought too.

WickedLester1708d ago

It could look like a 1956 Studebaker for all I care as long as it's powerful and runs quiet.

UltraNova1707d ago

I dont care about the box as long as its designed to vent heat out, effectively and quietly.

IRetrouk1707d ago

Like I say, while I'm generally not bothered by the looks of a console, I just dont like it, just one of those things🤷‍♂️

IamTylerDurden11707d ago (Edited 1707d ago )

As the article states, dev kits rarely look like the retail version. Regardless, the more important thing is what it can do. Besides, Sony has a rich history of attractive hardware and electronics. I'm confident the console will be slick just as the PS4 was. It's interesting when u compare the history of Sony hardware with Nintendo and Microsoft. By and large, Sony has had the more impressive looking hardware. Nintendo products are generally cheap looking white plastic with average build quality. Microsoft has had ugly hardware up until maybe the S/XB1X. Sony's history as a leading consumer electronics supplier obviously gives them an advantage.

IRetrouk1707d ago

Chill out man 🤣, I'm well aware devs kits dont tend to look like the final version, I've said as much in my first comment, none of what you wrote takes away the simple fact that I think it looks terrible. Nothing to do with nintendo or microsoft or even sonys other consoles, my comment is just for this abomination.

Inzo1707d ago

According to the article its most likely a dev kit and not the final production design.

garos821707d ago

Dev Kits never look the same like the final consumer product. No where near the same even

Gaming1011707d ago

There is no official bezel for the console yet. The picture on this article is a photoshop much like other photoshops of consoles over the years, all of which look ridiculous.

xer01707d ago

Sony is blowing smoke to distract and limit exposure. Developers are sources of major leaks and this a clever ploy on their part.

You know you will still shell out so quit with the dramatics.

Dev kits rarely look like the finished console. PS4 dev kit looks nothing like PS4. Dev kits are dev kits for a reason. They pack more power than the home version and have other hardware inside. PS5 will look nothing like this

Knushwood Butt1708d ago

360 dev kits we big, ugly green bricks.

rainslacker1707d ago

I question the verifying 3rd party devs verification. Final dev kit boxes aren't typically released this early, so even if the patent shows it like that, the final kit in such a polished form is unlikely to even be produced yet. That would require final production of the form factor. Generally, dev kits at this stage of pre-release are just special build PC's.

Smok911708d ago (Edited 1708d ago )

It won’t. Dev kits, especially early models tend to be nothing like the consumer product.

Brave_Losers_Unite1707d ago

You do realize the final product wont look like this right?

SmielmaN1707d ago

Dev Kits never look like the consumer product. Google some of the older gens dev kits and watch your worries float away

WelkinCole1707d ago

I will never understand gamers like you that care about how a console look.

Mr_Writer851707d ago

Why would how a dev kits looks like matter?

1707d ago
mandingo1707d ago

So why you saying you don’t like it if the final console won’t look like it. You’ll never see it. I don’t understand.

IRetrouk1707d ago (Edited 1707d ago )

Easy, the article is confirming what the dev kit looks like, I'm giving my view on said look......

Mr_Writer851706d ago

Again why does it matter what it looks like?

adonisisfree1707d ago

Of course it won’t look like that. Lol

chobit_A5HL3Y1707d ago

as long as it’s designed well; lasts a long time and doesn’t overheat, then i don’t really care what it looks like.

I really wouldn't care what it looks like even if it looked like a "V." If it's powerful, as long as it WORKS, can breath and stay cool, is mostly quiet and plays games, I don't care. I'm not playing the console. I'm playing the games. I'm not looking forward to the shape. I'm looking forward to the GAMES.

As for cost, PS3 at $500-$600 was outselling Xbox 360 worldwide since launch. That's a fact. Even during the economic downturn, it was still outselling 360. Because gamers knew Sony would bring the games just like PS1 and PS2. The media attacked it backed by advertising dollars and it still sold. PS4 at $400 sold like gangbusters. Gamers knew again what they were getting and will get in games.

Some try and make it seem that a Sony system at a higher price than the traditional $299 won't sell. When in reality, it's other systems we won't mention that wouldn't be able to sell at $500 or more like a particular platform now. Which is just projecting.

As long as it works and there's no economic crisis, PlayStations will sell regardless. That's just the truth. They're the market leader and prove in games why they are in a leadership position. You can buy their systems and know you'll get your money's worth.

IRetrouk1708d ago

That's all well and good but this thing looks horrible, wont stop me buying one, but my eyes dont like it, it is a dev kit which more than likely means the one we buy will look completely different, hopefully that's the case.

Segata1708d ago (Edited 1708d ago )

PS4 dev kit https://kotaku.com/guy-buys... so nothing to worry about. Dev kits don't look like the consoles. PS2,Xbox and Dreamcast dev kits were just tower PC's. PS3 dev kit looked like a massive CD changer from the 90s.

deadfrag1708d ago

You can bet the PS5 its going to BE bigger than the PS4 Pro!I really think people should expect atleast a system of the same size has the first generation PS3!

IRetrouk1708d ago (Edited 1708d ago )

Size doesn't really bother me so much as overall look

bluebenjamin1708d ago

The first gen ps3 was a nice looking game machine good tech for its time even now where else will you find a super audio player blu ray player last of us player bc with psone all in one console the Ps3 was the better Playstation compared to the 4 IDC what nobody says

IRetrouk1707d ago

Yeah the original 60g ps3 has probably been the most feature packed console so far, I still prefer my pro though, it's the games man.

andibandit1707d ago

I think that goes without saying, but given the choice I would like something pleasing to look at.

mogwaii1707d ago (Edited 1707d ago )

Who/what are these gangbusters and why did they sell so well?
Must find me a gangbuster stat!

Segata1708d ago

If anyone is worried. Dev kits almost always look different than the consumer version. They are more powerful and have more ports and other hardware features for devs only. Go look at a PS4 dev kit to get an idea at the difference.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers17h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken4h ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing13h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H913h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola10h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66912h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle12h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
