Sony has already won next gen.

That article has WAY more info than I thought. PS5 sounds like it'll be crazy next gen.

I might have to actually get two jobs.

Damn day one cop no questions asked since it's BC with PS4. it would be nice if previous gens were BC also but it's definitely not necessary. It seems like they ain't fukking around with the power so I wonder if they will do a mid gen refresh. I will say with this announcement they made it harder to budge there base. Only way they can fukk up is make the price absolutely nuts but they already learned there lesson from that.

All they need to do to steal the momentum of E3 is do a conference showcasing the power of PS5 and announce a March 2020 release date.

Stands reasonable to think that the next gen xbox and ps5 will have similar hardware. It will come down to who executes it better. And given Microsofts software woes, they will still be in last place.

Backwards compatibility matters again!

So. New CPU, new GPU, the ability to deliver unprecedented visual and audio effects in a game (and maybe a PSVR sequel at some point). That’s all great, but there’s something else that excites Cerny even more. Something that he calls “a true game changer,” something that more than anything else is “the key to the next generation.” It’s a hard drive.

THE LARGER A game gets—last year’s Red Dead Redemption 2 clocked in at a horse-choking 99 gigabytes for the PS4—the longer it takes to do just about everything. Loading screens can last minutes while the game pulls what it needs to from the hard drive. Same goes for “fast travel,” when characters transport between far-flung points within a game world. Even opening a door can take over a minute, depending on what’s on the other side and how much more data the game needs to load. Starting in the fall of 2015, when Cerny first began talking to developers about what they’d want from the next generation, he heard it time and time again: I know it’s impossible, but can we have an SSD?

Solid-state drives have been available in budget laptops for more than a decade, and the Xbox One and PS4 both offer external SSDs that claim to improve load times. But not all SSDs are created alike. As Cerny points out, “I have an SSD in my laptop, and when I want to change from Excel to Word I can wait 15 seconds.” What’s built into Sony’s next-gen console is something a little more specialized.

To demonstrate, Cerny fires up a PS4 Pro playing Spider-Man, a 2018 PS4 exclusive that he worked on alongside Insomniac Games. (He’s not just an systems architect; Cerny created arcade classic Marble Madness when he was all of 19 and was heavily involved with PlayStation and PS2 franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Ratchet and Clank.) On the TV, Spidey stands in a small plaza. Cerny presses a button on the controller, initiating a fast-travel interstitial screen. When Spidey reappears in a totally different spot in Manhattan, 15 seconds have elapsed. Then Cerny does the same thing on a next-gen devkit connected to a different TV. (The devkit, an early “low-speed” version, is concealed in a big silver tower, with no visible componentry.) What took 15 seconds now takes less than one: 0.8 seconds, to be exact.

That’s just one consequence of an SSD. 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. (While the next-gen console will support 8K graphics, TVs that deliver it are few and far between, so we’re using a 4K TV.)

Intel mad, amd 7nm in PS5 meanwhile intel struggles with 10nm, pushes out another 14nm to the masses

SSD faster than Samsung?

Hope all this shyt is true, and not on some smoke and mirrors when it actually drops...on some we decided to make some changes to make it more accessible to the casuals who might complain about the launch price...

@PS4 is big league mad!!

At what, Sony gamers rejoicing in getting Xbox features years or gens later?

While you're fake happy you'll be able to play ps4 games next gen what you won't be playing is fight night champion and you don't know shyt about a ps5 game either since Sony won't be attending e3 this year so basically you happy you can play ps4 games.

Is every ps4 game the best game you ever played? No and Sony losses top franchises each gen. Socom, twisted metal, killzone/etc. What new games Yooooo liking forward two or are you only interested in sequels that are reaching double digits by now?

I hear Microsoft bought a bunch of studios and already had a bunch of studios and plans to show out this e3. Tell me, when they unleash will you treat it like titanfall and go "I don't care for this game I cared about" Will you dem it not worthy like Ryse even though Ryse was a fantastic game? You guys are weird, ask these companies have experience doing this, they should all be able to entertain us. And the fact y'all champion Xbox features means you already like the competition. The games are great too. I'm

Man with how much these phones cost these days I wonder if it could work if Sony went all out and made the PS5 $1000

Isn't one of the reasons phones are more expensive is because of their processors?

I don't expect they would get that high, maybe PS3 launch prices.

This is great, especially since I have all these digital games I bought/got for free with PS Plus.
