  • Mark Cerny is once again the Lead System Architect.
    
  • 8 core AMD 7nm Zen 2 based on third generation Ryzen.
    
  • Ray-tracing support with custom AMD Navi GPU.
    
  • Custom AMD unit for 3D Audio, also aided by ray-tracing, a big upgrade.
    
  • Extremely fast high-end custom SSD storage faster than any solution currently available for PC:
    Spider-Man load times on PS4 Pro: 15 seconds → 0.8 seconds on next-gen PlayStation.
    
  • Technically supports 8K but Cerny demoed Spider-Man load speed improvements on a 4K screen.
    
  • New Virtual Reality platform strongly hinted at but also supports current PSVR (meaning millions of VR users 'day one').
    
  • Death Stranding might be a cross-gen title (speculation in article based on Cerny reply).
    
  • Physical Media.
    
  • Backwards Compatible with at least PS4.
    
  • Four years in development so far.
    
  • 2020.

  Eh its hard to say how really powerful the PS5 will be based on the little information we have here.
  While its great its going to be AMD based with both Navi and Ryzen on board I cannot say if it will be on the level of most custom PC's I see right now.
  As for that SSD claim, thats is quite a bold claim but I feel that the SSD this will have will be no different than most commercial SSD's on the market right now sure there are bound to be tweaks and no doubt the OS will be a factor.
  Since the Navi GPU line isnt out just yet thats another questionable claim, plus I am not to fussed about ray tracing on a personal level as it has been known to cause issues even on the most High end custom PC's I am aware of.
  Plus there is always the cost factor, will this go to a higher price point then last gen?
  The XB1 was $500 so I can imagine this being in the $600 region which is going to be a tough sell thanks to previous gen ryzen CPU's going down in price.
  At this price point Consoles really wont be that competitive to most custom PC builds even if you dont set aside the ray tracing and 4K buzz words console makers like selling you on.
  But on a personal note most PC enthusiasts agree 4k is kind of crap for gaming due to cost factor and the only thing both the PS4 pro and XB1X do is give you upscale 4k with some nasty side effects such as loss of detail and no tessellation,
  Plus add in ray tracing and that another trend that PC enthusiasts are steering away from until its ready.
  Personally for a great gaming experience go 1440p and for movies go 4k... but 4K is greatly over rated for gaming and honestly you have to know the dynamics of it and what it really does to get why its not a good idea for gaming

  Right, we don't know for sure what the power will be in its final form but we do know that it'll be using much newer tech than when last gen started. Rumors are is the PS5 will be 13 teraflops which is over double that of the most powerful console this gen. Nearly 13 times more powerful than the original Xbox One. Best of all it won't be using anemic Jaguar CPUs.
  
  I agree on the 4k thing. That's why I like checkerboarding or temporal injection. It allows near native quality without the demand on the GPU. Without that 1440 is fine as well. 4k uses so much power that graphically things won't improve much trying to hit that high resolution.

  Still the ray tracing claim is very.... questionable considering how much trouble that has been for Nvidia ever since the RTX line launched.
  Even the top line consumer grade RTX card the Titan RTX has had issues rendering it and put that on top of the PS5 probably having a far lower end APU than that I do question performance.
  Its probably the most questionable claim out of Navi console or otherwise and considering how much smaller AMD is to Nvidia the claims are dubious.
  The rest of the specs will probably line up but the Navi part does have me tilting my head a little.
  Not like i want AMD or even the PS5 to fail but there is a huge reality check concerning how much trouble ray tracing is in its current state in gaming

  Ray Tracing probably will be limited. It can be done in some forms already via software. Gran Turismo Sport uses baked in ray tracing for some lighting which is why the lighting is so good in that game but hardware ray tracing probably will be limited. I really don't want them pursing ray tracing in expense of performance or graphic fidelity.
  
  CPUs were the weakest link in the current consoles even the Xbox One X is limited by it. I can't wait to see what developers come up with with that no longer holding them back. Imagine a Days Gone with hordes even bigger than 500 like in the current game.

  New info. Here's a clip that they showed wired.
  [twitter]https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/1130645990627631105[/twitter]
  
  
  
  

  Quote:Also they recently had a corporate meeting. It was an interesting little brief that they had for the future of the company. Key takeaways from the gaming segment of their report:
  
  The two keywords for the future direction of PlayStation® are “immersive” and “seamless.”

  • Next-generation console: “Immersive” experience created by dramatically increased graphics rendering speeds, achieved through the employment of further improved computational power and a customized ultra-fast, broadband SSD.
    
  • PlayStation streaming: Through the evolution of “Remote Play” and “PlayStation™Now,” provide a seamless game experience anytime, anywhere.
    

  • Remote Play: Turns PlayStation®4(PS4™), which is expected to reach 100 million units in cumulative sales this calendar year, into a streaming game server, providing streaming content at the closest point to users.
    
  • PlayStation Now: Provides immersive game experiences to users regardless of whether they own a PS4 console at all.
    

  • Sony will pursue its mission to make PlayStation “The Best Place to Play” by leveraging the latest computing, streaming, cloud, and 5G technologies, together with excellent content.
    
  • As part of these efforts, Sony agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Microsoft Corp. (Microsoft) to collaborate on the development of cloud solutions, including game streaming services

  Looks like they will be bringing back remote play and the fact they're mentioning 5G, pretty soon you will be able to stream your PS4 anywhere you have service! Pretty cool. Things are looking good for the console imo.

  .....NOW LOADING > 05-23-2019, 05:33 PM

  Bro that loading time was crazy. It was less than a second. I realize the bigger games get the longer it will take but that’s a massive open world game. Loading would be non existent on most games like racing games corridor shooters and JRPGs. It’s like back before things went to disc almost. I could see loading screens becoming a nostalgic thing for people. Rofl

  Don't care how powerful you make your console Sony, If you don't stop overcensoring every little detail you arn't getting any money from me.
  
  Also for the people going full fanboy over that little demo, it was a PS4 game running on a more powerful system, No *Bleep* is it going to run faster.
  Bet you we won't be seeing those sort of loading times when its running actual PS5 games.

• RE: PS5 is a Beast!

  NeoMetallix > 05-24-2019, 03:55 PM

  Riiiight that’s pretty reductive. My PS4 is WAYYY more powerful than a PS2 but the PS2 games I have on it still have longer loading times than that. If you watched the video it wasn’t just loading either, it was also the ability to go through a level at speeds that have not been possible on any previous hardware. It potentially opens up new possibilities for gameplay too. Open world PS5 games won’t see loading like that but I bet you every other type of game will be close. It would just make you wonder how bad loading would be next gen if it used old HDDs.
  
  As far as the censoring goes well as far as I’m aware it’s only on pedo stuff. Where kids who are 18 are portrayed as 14 year olds. Not that I like it, I don’t think they should be censoring things at all.

  Yeah but that does bring up one point, what is the storage situation?
  Outside of the SSD we know nothing about storage on this.
  How big will the SSD be?
  Will there be secondary drive of some kind?
  Remember that the disks on consoles these days are frankly useless outside of installing the game and needing the disk inside the console to run said game.
  Most games on consoles are installed on the internal hard drive and well this causes another issue entirely.
  say the base model is say 500GB, okay well thats gonna eat up space real fast.
  1TB? bigger but thats starting to become the bare minimum of space of your average modern gaming PC.
  And what if the internal SSD is the only storage?
  Unless you can use a external disk with the PS5 this is going to be an issue.
  The switch sure as heck is facing space issues, while its portability is why its so popular you sure do hear the big drawback to it a lot: the teeny tine amount of space you have a lot of the time and unlike a PC or the last generation of consoles you cant really put a standard hard drive in that thing. this is the only reason why i wish the switch was a little bigger, it doesnt need to be able to hold a standard desktop drive as that would mess with portability but it could have accommodated a laptop drive at least.
  If Sony elects on abandoning support of standard internal hard drives we got a potential issue for this console.
  As what if sony decides: you know what, screw the customer, they want large hard drives we will just take a cheap western digital hard drive, put it in a plastic box you cant open or service without breaking it .... and make the connectors to it proprietary and charge a fortune for it, mwmahahahahahahahahaahahaha!
  
  Hey thats what apple kind of did with the mac mini and i would not put it past sony to do something similar.
