Official PlayStation Next-Gen plans (2020, Wired Exclusive Article) [ Ray Tracing, BC, SSD, & more]

They may not be certain what they can deliver on that front, or they may be saving it for a future megaton announcement. Or it could just be PS4 only. I don't know, but they didn't say PS4 only, so I wouldn't act like they did.
This makes it harder for PS users to jump ship. Also with the initiative whatever MS trots out will be compared with these vague specs.
Megaton news. Guess I'll wait for the PS5 instead of buying a PS4 since it is backward-compatible.
And it seems it's gonna be cross gen.
On another note, I'm thinking we're gonna get a console reveal at PSX with pricing and all that stuff.
After seeing Minecraft with ray tracing, I'm a believer. That is next gen. Looks like PS5 is all in on that, which is exactly what I was hoping for and expecting.
I think things are on an earlier schedule this time around for a couple of reasons.
1) The streaming service announcements
2) Sony stock took a hammering recently in part because of concerns about PS4 reaching the end of its lifecycle and investor uncertainty about what was planned for the next generation.
I feel like this news is indirectly aimed at investors as much as anyone else, as this announcement will give them the opportunity to be more open about plans when it comes to their earnings call later in the month.
I don't think it necessarily indicates any earlier release plans, though, I think Fall 2020 is probably still the most likely window. Just a different information environment now.
But Sony is also not "undercutting" Microsoft's E3 with that article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That means nothing.
Any indie game in 8K would count in this kind of pr-speak.
Don't get me wrong. We will see many 8K titles but most games will probably only use upscaled 8K.
Sounds amazing but I can't see it retailing at less than $599 without them taking a substantial loss on the console and even then I can't see them dropping it below $499.
Well thats their plan. I mean Sony has said many times now after PS4 release 399 is the sweetspot. They are not gonna place it at 499 and even more if its the only option.
23 fps, probably.
I pray that we can get a 60fps standard next gen, but.
What ps1 and 2 games do you want to play on Your 60inch 4k television?
Wow this is gonna be sick!!
Also does revealing this impact their competitors or is it that these systems are so ahead into development that this info can't really hurt them by revealing some key points?
Just curious.

Man if you think about it. If raytracing will be supported by every console next gen, devs will start to rely on it more and more which may lead to a GPU cut off point when it comes to PC versions. Devs may choose to base their whole lightning system around a raytraced approach. A pc version may need a very recent GPU to run these games at a playable frame rate. Either that or devs implement a quick and dirty RT-less version for lower spec pcs which will probably not look great.
I think it's because of all the speculation leaks that have been coming out in the past month or so. I think they wanted to get in front of all the rumors and squash it.
I'm expecting £500.
I'm a tad confused how cross-gen titles will fair if the console itself is backwards compatible.
I'm guessing the backwards compat will just run with no enhancements, and will run exactly like a PS4 Pro.

Fuck streaming and shit. Just give me another high end console that plays the games how they need to be played.
Damn really exited!
Damn really exited!
Cerny announced these things at the Playstation Meeting in 2013:
- Ability to stream games easily
- Ability to record video/share screenshots with the tap of a button
- Ability to SharePlay -- being able to remotely control another's game to help them or demo the game
- Ability to Suspend/Resume
Microsoft's going to talk about their next-gen plans in two months. This is purposely to get out ahead of that and be part of the conversation.
So it sounds like an sshd situation, but the SSD is big enough or memory buses are in church a way that it has a massive effect on game streaming, loading etc. Sounds ideal, big size of HDD, speed of the ssd
Just read the article and it all sounds perfect for PS5 as the first small details!
Great power jump, BC with PS4 at least, big CPU jump, PSVR 1 compatible; all sounds ace.
Ok my next gen hype can finally begin properly now :D

How does it make harder to jump ship? The PS3 had PS2 BC at first too.
edit:
Sure, but again, this article isn't saying anything big or impressive enough to kill people's interest in the competition in the end.
Details are vague enough (be it hardware, software, or in terms of strategy like the price) that it'll just go back to the usual speculation threads in a week's time.
Can't come soon enough. Very curious about the PS4 back compat and if there will be any improvements.
Only because of what AMD themselves were saying. Sony saw that RTX shit and told AMD to get their asses in order, apparently.
The Polyphony Digital raytracing tech demo showcase should have been a clue
Yes I am. The biggest questions for PS5 were that was it BC and was it underpowered?
We now know the answers. There is literally no reason for people to jump ship. Sony is making all of the right choices again.
