Rumor: PlayStation 5’s First Details Reportedly Shared in $1,000 Article

Rumor: PlayStation 5’s First Details Reportedly Shared in $1,000 Article


By ROBERT WORKMAN - April 3, 2018
  • PlayStation 5 thus far, even though Sony hasn’t said a word about it just yet. (They’re likely waiting until E3 in a couple of months, where we may get a first glimpse at the hardware.)

    However, that hasn’t stopped a site called SemiAccurate from noting that it had first details about the system, with rumors running rampant onResetera about what Sony’s next generation of hardware could do.

    Alas, SemiAccurate has posted the article in the most questionable way possible, asking its readers to fork over $1,000 to continue reading it. Fortunately, a few people over at Resetera have managed to dig up some of the finer details within it, and here’s what they found out.

    First off, technical-wise, the system “uses AMD's Navi as its base architecture, not specifically using Navi,” or “APU with a Navi gpu.” So it definitely sounds like next-gen level hardware, at least compared to what we have now. The CPU has also reportedly been noted as “an 8 Core Zen CPU,” but no other details have been revealed aside from that. That would be a considerable leap ahead of the Jaguar CPUs we've been dealign with for years.


    Now to the good stuff. Reportedly, a number of development kits are already in the hands of several companies, though a specific list wasn’t provided. And the author of the article has actually suggested that a release for the PlayStation 5 wouldn’t be out of the question this year because of this.

    Now, we’ve already heard some developers are planning some next-gen development alongside current-gen games, like CD Projekt Red withCyberpunk 2077, but it’s doubtful that these developers will get the releases done in time for this year. So this seems a little far-fetched, unless a lot of games are set to be announced at E3 – which might happen. Emphasis on a very light might.

    The author also apparently noted that VR “goodies” were going to be included at the silicon level within the system, which means that Sony isn’t about to give up on its PlayStation VR technology anytime soon, and will make it a big part of the system.

    Also, surprisingly enough, there was no mention of backward compatibility. That doesn’t mean that Sony won’t include it in their hardware, but we’re a bit surprised it wasn’t a talking point, especially with big releases like Shadow of the Colossus, God of War and Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man being available for the PS4 this year.

    That’s really all we could find about the PS5 at this point, since, well, we’re not forking over a grand to read an editorial that’s not even based on official details confirmed by Sony. But the 2018 announcement and release sounds suspect, especially since the PS4 and PS4 Pro are still selling like hotcakes.


    One Resetera user has suggested the following, and it makes a little more sense:

    “PSX 2018 - PS5 teased
    E3 2019 - full reveal
    Holidays 2019 - worldwide release”

    Remember, Microsoft paced itself with its Xbox One X announcement, and even that wasn’t as big a seller as the company anticipated. Sony needs to prep this the right way and not go running into another generation when this one is doing just fine. We’ll have to see what the company is up to in a couple of months, around E3 time.

Strangely enough it feels kind of soon. Even though 2019 holiday would be the typical 6 year run, the mid gen upgrades kind of made this gen feel shorter. Idk. Time is going by fast these days.

I can see it though. TLOU Part 2 releases sometime next spring/summer. Death Stranding possibly a cross gen title as is FFVII R. That's like the last big games I think still slated for PS4. Ghost of Tsushima probably is next year too.

Glad I didn’t cop a pro.

I wouldn’t be mad if they dropped 2019. Six years is long enough with a mid gen upgrade. You got iPhones playing pubg and fortnite now the earlier consoles make the shift the better.

Now the real question is if there will be BC. If there is BC PS5 is a day one cop for me.
