Next playstation console is called PlayStation 5, releasing holiday 2020 and supports ray tracing at hardware level

Great to hear it''s already up and running in developer hands. 2020 going to be lit.
You understand they're backwards compatible right ? You can be certain the recent games will also come with dedicated ps5 patches like the ps4pro did.
I think I recall something from the next-gen speculation thread about MS patent applications around force-feedback triggers. So I think there's good hope devs may be able to spend time on this with the justification that multiple platforms can make use of it.
more proof that article was tales from someone's ass regarding that 3rd party devs are scared bit. as soon as i read that i was like "nah"
They should probably keep it
It is kind of associated with them now just like green for Xbox
Picking and choosing which part of a game to install is pretty new. Wonder how much smaller RDR2 would be without multiplayer touching my drive.
New for Sony, but Microsoft has been working on that for a couple years now, and some games already allow it. With the game sizes skyrocketing I always assumed Sony would bring that next-gen as well.
Sony does inside artwork and some other developers do too. But not many.
With black cases Sony wouldn't be able to do it anymore. Unless the cases are slightly transparent.
I'm with you on the manuals. Would love for those to return.
Conference is still happening.
Like the old school magazine feel too though.
I know that. I'm not talking about PS5 or Scalett's backward compatibility with ZoS4/XBO games.
I mean, just like there will be PS5/Scarlett versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and other games. I don't believe every single developer will just do free upgrade patches for every game. Some will do separate SKUs like usual in a cross-gen period of 2-3 years into the life of a new generation.
And still no mention of what kind of SSD they're using. I'm not talking about the size here, but the actual standard. Is it NVMe?
A SATA SSD is nothing revolutionary, and the way they're talking about the PS5 makes it sound like it'll be using at least PCIe 4.0.
If so, can we even realistically expect a 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD inside a $500 box? With game installs occupying 100GB each, 512GB isn't gonna cut it. So many questions.

True, but remember, we were coming off of the 2008 financial crash and we were still in a recession, PS3 lost Sony a ton of money throughout the preceding decade, and people were very unsure about whether there was going to continue to be a console industry at all. The Wii was also the leading console of the gen and was positioned as a budget device. So Sony was probably threading the needle very tightly to get costs down.
Things are a lot different today and Sony is in a much different position coming off the PS4 and then testing the waters with the PS4 Pro. There's a chance they'll future-proof the system from a specs perspective a bit more this time around than what the PS4 offered for its day. I'm not seaying they will include a $500-equivalent GPU or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went with something higher than $200-equivalent range they went with last launch.
You mean how games are handled now on PS4 And Xbox One this whole gen?
I really hope revamped UI doesn't mean they are going to build something from scratch and then develop it over time.
It was kind of awful having to waiting months and in some cases years for a bunch of standard quality of life issues to be patched into the OS.
Also not sure I'd trade haptic feedback for having to buy new controllers. Hopefully the controllers are backwards compatible

my understanding is that many games currently employ data redundancy to help reduce load times. With an SSD I imagine the need for data redundancy to be mitigated, which should help to offset some of that.
Can I assume the switch to SSD and the addition of single-player/multiplayer install options will mean I don't need 180GB of free hard drive space to download a 50GB game?
I think he wants to know if games can be played from an external HDD
Sony has been doing it for some of their games for a while. I think Killzone Shadowfall did it.
I don't think I have a preference between symmetrical vs asymmetrical sticks. Curious to see if I've ever noticed a difference in gameplay.
sounds good so far. Keep the USB C train rolling too.
On a side note, this is making me rethink my plans to buy a 5700XT since obviously hardware ray trading is gonna be a thing for certain. Might have to spring for a 2070s to at least keep me somewhat up to date.

Yeah something about some exec quote few years back who stated we wouldn't see a ps5 within the next 3 years. Fiscal years as well I think. So I thought it would hit 2021 lol, but not holidays 2021.
Anywho I am not buying it launch day. Depends on year 1 games.
Sand felt slow and sloggy; mud felt slow and soggy. On ice, a high-frequency response made the thumbsticks really feel like my character was gliding.
The thumbsticks have auto varying resistance? Surely I'm reading it wrong?

I hope so, I don't like when boxart is substantially different from the previous consoles which usually happens.
Please stop, just stop for your own good! :)
On topic, PS5 is locked and loaded and all the information in OP sounds great! Now all I need is full legacy BC and hope for a megaton drop at the reveal event. I want at the end of the reveal to say in his smooth voice "Oh one more thing, we have been listening and PS5 will have full BC with PS 1 to 4".
If we could go back to the cases of PS1, that would be dope as hell. That's my favorite type of case.
