Tbh I believe this is the first time they have talked about a new console prior to the announcement. I'm even surprised they gave any data at all.
I wish they did.That's not going to happen. They aren't going to restrict developers like that.
Remember 2013 when the PS4 launched? Sony also published in that year for the PS3 (lazy Wikipedia copy-paste):2020? so TLOU2, Death stranding, and ghost of tsushima are pretty guaranteed to be launch titles?
New Virtual Reality platform strongly hinted at but also supports current PSVR
but Cerny claims that it has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs.
Did I miss where he said that all PS4 games will have unlocked framerates on PS5?
AMD made this tech called StoreMI which lets you treat an HDD and SSD as one drive and the software will put the files you access a lot on the SSD and the rest on the HDD under the hood. I'm guessing both PS5 and the next XBox will be doing something similar where the game you're actively playing is loaded onto the SSD while the dozen games you swear you'll get around to eventually will be rotting away on the HDD.
YepCorrect me if I'm wrong, but isn't this all official info now?
It's to hype people up without saying much. It's the classic vidcon comic:""""""""""""""""""""""""Ray tracing"""""""""""""""""""""""""
The GTX 1060, Vega 56, Titan RTX, and my GTX 470 all could do ray tracing. The extent to their performance is the biggest question. Not a big fan of how coy all that answering is in the wired piece. We learn so little there and allows for too much speculative room.
Already 100% confirmed ;)
Imagine crying over a piece of unannounced plastic.Backwards compatible with PS4. I'm actually tearing up. I'm a mess.
There's also the speed with which a world can be rendered, and thus the speed with which a character can move through that world. Cerny runs a similar two-console demonstration, this time with the camera moving up one of Midtown's avenues. On the original PS4, the camera moves at about the speed Spidey hits while web-slinging. "No matter how powered up you get as Spider-Man, you can never go any faster than this," Cerny says, "because that's simply how fast we can get the data off the hard drive." On the next-gen console, the camera speeds uptown like it's mounted to a fighter jet. Periodically, Cerny pauses the action to prove that the surrounding environment remains perfectly crisp.
lol... of course it's gonna be $399-499.Ray Tracing
Faster SSD tech than any PC can run currently
8K support
etc
$1000 console confirmed? Theres is NO way they can retail hardware like this for $400-500 in a small console box at that.
Remember 2013 when the PS4 launched? Sony also published in that year for the PS3 (lazy Wikipedia copy-paste):
I removed a few I didn't consider important. Many of these games were a big deal and also remained exclusives to the PS3.
- PlayStation Network
- Everybody's Golf 6 (Retail version in Japan only)
- Rain (Retail version in Japan only)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this all official info now?
All of this is pretty expected, but the SSD comments are interesting. I have a 970 Evo Plus SSD that gets 3,700mbps.... dunno how they expect to beat that... or why. I'm dubious.
The PS5 will support PS4 games in hardware, the others would need software emulation along the lines of what Microsoft are doing. It could be something they announce as a software feature of the new console reveal, not a hardware deep dive.
