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

My assumption is an NVME also - difference here is you're designing an entire system around knowing the exact storage device going into it. It's not the same as a PC which can have endless configurations, they can really fine tune their system to take full advantage of the thing. I'd be very very surprised if it's something completely custom / new.
At least this gives me a reason to want to try Bloodbourne again. As well as play SoTC at 60FPS.
PS4 SSG Goku
Pro SSGSS Goku
PS5 Ultra Instinct Goku
Edit: dbz?
PS4 Second Grade Super Saiyan
PS4 Pro Full power Super Saiyan
PS5 SSJ2
I'm going to guess the consoles themselves will be very similar spec wise, this probably won't be a Pro - X1X kind of thing unless Microsoft doesn't launch for a year after.
so for someone that doesn't understand all the tech stuff, is it going to be possible to only buy one "version" of a game that will just play better with a patch on ps5?
specifically wondering about games like death stranding or (maybe.. hopefully?) cyberpunk 2077. i would assume they'd want you to double dip but it makes sense to me that they'd just be able to have a patch to upgrade it to ps5. i guess my question is: is there any reason they couldn't just offer a patch to upgrade games?

Awesome about PS4 BC. If we can get PS3 and/or before in there as well....oh boy, I'll probably buy two just as a thank you to Sony lol.
If they're willing to take a small hit on it at the beginning, it would be. But my money is on $449.
No way in hell are they going to do another $599 console
Wasn't expecting full use of SSD (I was thinking maybe hybrid), and thought PSVR 1 wouldn't be supported for some reason, glad it's happening and that the loyal PSVR users will get their share.
Are they going to be forced to separate the CPU and GPU back into separate packages since they're going with relatively cutting edge parts (certainly way newer than what the PS4 had)? That could have major ramifications for the size/heat/noise of the box.
Then again, you'd reintroduce bottlenecks between CPU, GPU and RAM that you eliminated by putting both chips and the memory controller on the same die, right?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAKE THE CONTROLLER HAVE AN OPTIONAL SPLIT DESIGN MOTION CONTROL AS STANDARD. DO NOT FORCE ME TO BUY A SEPARATE CONTROLLER SPECIALLY FOR VR!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
I've heard Sony has some contacts in the electronics manufacturing business so they might get a small discount.
Because no engine is built around fully utilizing an SSD. But if the streaming engine knows about SSD speeds, it can work with that. I bet you that the Spiderman game has some new code to it.
I can't wait for the reveal. I guess if BC works with everything then a 500 bucks price point won't be a problem. I can just trade in my Pro for it.
You think you are joking? This has a high chance of happening especially that the level design of the game scream for RT and what a better opportunity for Mark cerny to showcase RT on PS5?
We need a drive-by shooting gif. Shawn driving, Shu on the passenger seat and Mark Cerny shooting info bullets from the backseat.
I'm not talking about 599, but 499$ is absolutely possible and Sony will still take a loss, not huge if they price PS5 at 399$.
Even Intel Optane couldn't do that. Remember they were switching areas, most of the game was already loaded into memory.
I mean, maybe it won't have that but we know that there's a lot they haven't said yet. I expect PS1 and maybe PS2 being there, or maybe they'll save those features to roll them out once the console is stablished.
If it's 14 Tflops (rumoured, not confirmed), then compare that to PS4's 1.8 Tflops and Pro's 4.2 Tflops.
Google Stadia is 10.7 Tflops.
RAM is 3 times more than PS4, with an extra 4GB for the OS (rumoured).
The SSD makes load times negligible.
I can't see it doing 1 second when games start using around 10 gigs of Vram, the large vram pool is why they are likely using an SSD, you can see in games like FFXV Windows Edition you need an SSD for it's max settings or it's stutter heaven.
