Next playstation console is called PlayStation 5, releasing holiday 2020 and supports ray tracing at hardware level
- Thread starter Kolx
- Start date
Could've called it PSV considering the dev unit V design.
But yeah maybe that wasn't the big news ;P
I just think it was weird to drop these news like this. *pop* From nowhere.
Maybe there was some Ieaks floating around and they wanted to push out the info themselves?
Or maybe they're doing it because of the Stadia launch?
Or maybe MS is about to talk soon?
That is what I been saying, why be the third paragraph in a roundup blog, when you can own the whole day?
The controller stuff is all music to my ears. Better battery is huge. The PS4 controller battery is embarrassingly bad. Haptics and all that sound pretty great, but this kinda sounds like the Switch's HD rumble talk.
Glad I can apparently opt out of installing multiplayer and stuff like that.
Is Sony gonna be stuck naming these PS 5, 6, 7, 8, etc til the end of time?

It would be smart to help to increase the value of what I think will be a higher MSRP. This thing needs to improve PS4 games outta the box.
I think that would be a big selling point for the mainstream. I'd replay all my old PS4 games if the PS5 could seriously improve them.
Still dreaming about 4k 60fps Bloodborne with good AA (though Sony needs to give this one a proper remaster complete with HDR)
The 4k uhd player will also help. Didnt matter much for the XBX this gen but 4k/hdr is still coming into it's own and microsoft garnered too much consumer ill will this gen for it to matter.
Licensing is needed for CD-ROM functionality (PS1). It would only be needed for PS2 in the instance of re-releases (digital). I think it's pretty safe to assume the PS5 will play DVDs, since it's still such a big market, but it would be on Sony to implement a PS2 emulator on PS5, and even then with PS4 it was still case by case (thus, the re-releases of titles on PS4 through the self contained exe packages).
I just think it's incredibly unlikely that Sony goes any further than PS4 as far as native, full BC is concerned. It's additional money they have to spend that they don't really "need" to spend, particularly at a time when tariffs will likely hike the price of the PS5 up beyond their desired price point, either diminishing their profits, or reducing the number of early adopters at the start of the consoles life cycle. It's not a necessary risk for them, financially.
Interesting. Just last night I was saying Sony would likely do another tease/announcement this year but I didn't think it would be this soon.
RIP team #2019 and congrats team #2020. I would love to know the reason(s) why Sony decided to skip 2019 one day.
I like how Sony have confirmed the dev kit outright and referred to rumours about the dev tools/dev kits being late are wrong (anyone have a link about this?).

It won't, not just for the cost, but there's also PlayStation Now to sell.
I dont need to be Sony to answer why PS5 isn't 2019. It's simply not ready yet, from first party games standpoint to BC compatibility as you can read in the other thread.
This is supposed to be a joke, but it would move the needle more for me personally than Demon's Souls.
You misunderstand. From the first talk/hints of PS5 back in mid-2017 it was the plan to launch in 2019 per Matt. Then late last year/early this year Klee said he heard it was to add BC but that is unconfirmed. I would like the full story as I'm nosey....
I'd expect my PS3 digital purchases to be honoured on PS5 if that's the case.
I couldn't care less for a new generation. I'm really not feeling it.... I play games since 1989.... I don't know why but they really need to create new ways to interact with game. I'm much more interested in the new PS VR2.
Absolutely. I would love to be able to pop in Shadow Hearts: Covenant again.
It almost feels as if they found out Microsoft was on the verge of announcing details for the next Xbox and felt like they needed to beat them to the punch at any cost.
I hope so. Why break the chain now with a dumb random name?
oh I must've missed them confirming Holiday 2020....thanks for the source
There's a tv show(or a movie?) coming so you can expect something for that stealthy raccoon.
Exciting news on the controller. I hope this brings back some novelty, something I haven't experienced since playing GT2 with the Dualshock controller for the first time.
I just hope my ps4 lasts until PS5 releases. I have already opened it up twice due to overheating...

Why not? It works, it has incredible brand recognition. It's not confusing like, say, Xbox One X.
Also, the future has been foretold:
this is a weird take. The PS5 is launching in 2020. The PS3 is a 2006 console that was discontinued in 2015.
Wouldn't the selling point for PSNow going forward into next gen be the back catalogue of *PS4* games, not PS3 games?
If so, why does the PS5 have PS4 backwards compatibility? Doesn't Sony have PSNow to sell?
excluding PS3 compatibility while including PS4 compatibility doesn't really make much sense in that context.
as for cost- as mentioned previously Sony still has to use actual PS3's to run games via PSnow. It's cheaper for them to just have one device that can do PS3/4/5 games than it is to keep obsolete hardware like the Cell and RSX in production for people to stream PS3 games.
Gonna need to hear about BC before I can be interested. Otherwise I'll just wait a few years for it to be on sale and enjoy the exclusives at a discount as well.
Now that it is confirmed its coming next Holiday, I am definitely saving for it from now until launch. Time to set up a Day One Fund.
The download single or multiplayer first feature on PS4 is part of the PlayGo system which was standard in the SDK and OS from day one but optional for developers to implement and implement well.
Hopefully all the feature additions for PS5 are made as easy as possible to implement for developers and dangling them like a carrot now (to us) adds a bit of pressure for them to be implemented properly and consistently.

it's not gonna happen.
at, best you'll get a "Great selection of ps3 games", and they will stop doing them after 4 months
It's more or less what I thought, there's at least some hardware acceleration but we don't know if it's "fully fledged" or just a partial thing.
I'm pretty hyped for Fallen Order and need to check out Borderlands but I've only picked up Zelda out of all of those, that list just doesn't interest me. Especially compared to last year when he had so many GOTY-worthy heavy hitters like God of War, Spider-Man, Odyssey, and RDRII.
